Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen
Chapter 219

Chapter 0219

“You stayed over at Derek’s?” I asked, feeling surprised.

“No… um… we rejected each other yesterday.”

“What? Oh… Are you ok? Where are you?!?!”

“… I sort of… met someone else.”

Oh, Goddess.

“Charlotte, please tell me that you did not have another one-night stand.”

She did not say anything.

Although I had never had a one-night stand, I was not offended by the idea of them. It just made my heart hurt for Charlotte, because one-night stands had been the entirety of her sexual experience.

“Char…”

“What?”

“Did you have another one-night stand?”

“You told me not to tell you.”

I rolled my eyes. “Goddess, Charlotte. Well, why are you calling me and not getting out of there?”

“My one-night stand was with a wolf. A really hot wolf. It was my first time with a werewolf, Lily, and it

was amazing. Or at least what I remember was amazing. We were both super drunk and broken hearted.

and it escalated.”

“Fast forward to the part where you are still there and are having to call me from the bathroom,” I urged

her, hoping to avoid the details.

“Well, I thought one of us was going to sneak out this morning, but when I woke up, he was awake and

still here. And not only that, he told me that he and his wolf really like me and they want me to go back to

his pack with him.”

“What?!?!?”

“Yes. And, here is the thing. I know it is crazy, but I want to say yes.”

“Charlotte….”

“I know, I know. And normally, I would get my wolf’s advice before I did something quite this crazy, but she is sort-of missing in action because of the rejection, so I cannot ask her opinion, so…. I wanted to ask

you for yours.”

“No, Charlotte. The answer is “no.” You cannot reject your mate and then immediately move to some random pack with some strange wolf you slept with while drunk.”

I looked at James-who could hear both sides of the conversation- and the look on his face conveyed

everything that I was thinking.

Goddess, what had Charlotte gotten herself into?

“But Lily… I really like him. And his wolf likes me. That has to mean something, right?”

“What would your parents say, Charlotte? And on top of that, what do you even know about him?

Goddess, you are talking about moving with a guy that you just met 12 hours ago.”

“10”

“Charlotte, that is not making it better!”

“I know, I know. But it is not uncommon for wolves to move this fast when they meet their mates, so…”

“Is he your second chance mate?”

“I have no idea. My wolf is missing right now. But if his wolf likes me, that has to mean something, right?”

“Char, it could mean 100 different things…”

“I know. You are right. But… my gut says that I should go with him. And even if it does not work out

between us, you know that I have always wanted to know what it is like to live in a pack.”

“So come with us.”

James gave me a “are you serious” look.

“No, you two are in your honeymoon period. I do not want to impose on you.”

“You would not be imposing, Charlotte. And going with us would be a whole lot better than changing your

entire life for someone that you just met. And then maybe you can get to know this wolf long-distance

and then decide from there what you want to do.”

Just then, I heard a knock on her door followed by a male voice. “Charlotte? Are you ok?”

The voice sounded strangely familiar, but it was mu ffled by the door, running water, and phone connection so I could not be sure.

“I have to go,” Charlotte said in a rush.

“What are you going to do, Charlotte?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

“I am going to go with him.”

Of course, she was.

“At least tell me his name and pack.”

“Charlotte?” the male voice said again.

“I will ask him for it and text it to you later,” she said before hanging up.

I looked at my phone in complete shock, and then put my head against the wall.

“I cannot believe her,” I told James.

James gave me a half smile. “Love, she is a big girl. She can take care of yourself. Who knows, maybe the

wolf really is her second-chance mate.”

“Maybe,” I said, hoping he was right but not sure if I believed it.

“Come on, babe… we need to go before we miss the flight,” he insisted.

I turned and raised my eyebrows at him.

“What?”

“So far this morning, you have called me beautiful, sweetheart, darling, love, and babe…..

James gave me an embarrassed smile. “I am trying to find a pet name for you.”

“And?”

“I am still trying to find the right one.”

I laughed as I gave him a quick kiss and grabbed my purse.

As we walked out, I took a final look around. I really had loved Ravenswood, and it felt bittersweet saying

good-bye to this chapter of my life. But it was time.
