Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen

Chapter 0260

(James POV)

I cannot tell you how satisfying it was to watch Lily put Member Brown in his place.

Judging from the wet spot that formed in the middle of his pants after Rose made her appearance,

Member Brown was well aware that he was not going to be “Member Brown” for very long. And indeed, he

wasn’t.

Once Brown was sitting down again, Lily forced him to publiclyse his prior dealings with Margie. He

confessed that:

He had been obtaining females from Margie once or twice a year for five years.

The females Margie provided for him were used for “f&&k the virgin parties” that he liked to host for his

buddies.

-At the beginning, he just watched. However, after his mate died, he started to actively participate.

-At the end of each party, Margie gave Brown the option of either “purchasing” the girls for a longer visit

or returning them for use by others.

Brown became especially attached to the last female that he purchased from Margie, and she has been living in a cage in his home for the past eight months.

Margie threatened to “repossess” the female -i.e., help her “escape”- unless Brown made sure that Stephanie and Sheila were exonerated and that he would support James being forced to mark and marry Stephanie.

Margie was careful to always deal with Brown by phone, because this avoided him being able to alpha- command her. However, Brown admitted that he never considered using an alpha-command on her regardless. He liked Margie, and he appreciated that they seemed to share the same values.

When Brown’s public confession was over, Lily placed her hands on Brown’s head so that she could talk to his wolf. After she was done, she somberly announced that Brown would no longer be a member of the werewolf council. She also made the difficult decision to free t

his wolf.

You might wonder why the decision to free Brown’s wolf was difficult for her. It was actually something that we had talked about at length prior to leaving Black Moon. Separating the human and wolf counterparts of a werewolf is essentially the equivalent of separating two parts of a single soul. It is not something to be done lightly.

After talking it through with Dr. Hyder and I, Lily decided that she would only do it only as a last resort,

side has been actively suffering as a result of the human side’s choices; AND 3) the wolf wants to be

freed from his or her human counterpart.

Unfortunately, Brown’s situation met all three of Lily’s criteria.

The actual freeing his wolf involved Lily placing her hand on Brown’s heart and chanting a brief prayer to the Moon Goddess. It was physically painful for both Brown and Lily, and it required a lot of Lily’s energy. Nevertheless, once it was done, it was done. Brown’s wolf was able to return to the spirit world with the Moon Goddess; arrangements were made to rescue Brown’s caged female; and Brown-the-human was escorted to the dungeons to wait a more formal trial in a few weeks.

The overall process was then repeated for Member Herman and Member Merrill. Their stories were remarkably similar to Brown’s, at least in the sense that they purchased females from Margie and were later blackmailed to do what she wanted. Herman’s “quirk” was that he liked females who could “take it rough”; Merrill’s quirk was that he liked the females to be underage. Both of their wolves were desperate

to be freed, and Lily quickly made the same decisions she made with Brown.

That left us with Member Neil Bloch. Before he even sat down, he began protesting that he had not done

anything. He seemed pretty convincing….until Nick came forward and played two audio recordings.

a

The first recording had Margie telling Nick that she had recently discovered that Neil had an obsession

with LGBTQ po rnography. She asked Nick to offer Neil à deal: that he (Nick) would make a personalized

video with Neil in exchange for Neil helping Margie. The second audio had Nick proposing the deal to

Neil; Neil saying that he had previously talked to Margie and agreed to it if she liked the male

she found

for him; Neil approving of Nick’s “casting” in that video; and Neil and Nick discussing schedules.
