Chapter 159
0159
(Lily POV).
Thankfully, my panic attack was short-lived, because Charlotte was oblivious to it. She dragged me over to where Cody Wilson and his friend were sitting. On the way over, she explained that the best wing- women were those already in relationships. All I had to do, she explained, was talk to and distract the
friend; nothing more.
Of course, the glaring hole in Charlotte’s explanation was how I might distract the friend without resorting to flirting, but I ended up not having time to ask. Thanks to Charlotte’s infectious charm, couple of minutes, we were sitting at a table with Cody Wilson and his friend Sergio.

Like Cody, Sergio was a professional hockey player. Whereas Cody played for a team in the United States, Sergio played for a team in Spain. He was just in town with his brother visiting.
The Moon Goddess must have been watching over me, because it turned out that Sergio
io was happily
married. While Cody and Charlotte got to know each other in more ways than one -alternating between
making out at the table and making out on the dance floor-Sergio and I talked about Sergio’s life in
Spain, his wife, and his young daughter. When I pulled out my phone to send a quick text to James,
Sergio did not flinch. Instead, he commented that he makes his wife do the same thing whenever they are apart and she goes out with her friends.
Before I knew it, I found myself peppering Sergio with a variety of questions about his wife and his
marriage. He told me that he has been married to his wife for 5 years, having met her at 18 and married
her at 19. He told me that they married so young in part because neither of their families were stable, and they wanted to give each other the stability that they never had. When I asked whether he ever regretted not giving himself an opportunity to grow up first, he smiled and said he could never regret anything having to do with his wife.
About 45 minutes in, I decided that I was ready to call a taxi and call it a night. Sadly, that is when sh&t really started to hit the fan.
SURPRISE #3: BREAKING A HUMAN’S ARM
I excused myself to go I
to them: Once done, I started to head back to the table where Sergio, Cody, and Charlotte had been sitting so that I could order a taxi and say good-bye.
Unfortunately, that is when a large human male cornered me in the hallway.
“Hey, Daisy Baby,” he slurred. “I did not know you were coming to Arkansas. I thought you were still in Spain.”
“Wrong person,” I responded as I tried to continue past him.
He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall. “No, not the wrong person. You remember me, don’t you, Daisy Baby?”
I pushed him back. “No, I do not remember you. You have the wrong person. Now if you will excuse me
He leaned forward and tried to put his head in the nape of my neck, stopping only when I put my hand up. I could smell the heavy scent of alcohol on his breath. I started wondering why I had agreed to go out
with Charlotte tonight; drunk humans were disgusting.
“Daisy Baby, you smell even better than you did the last time I saw you. You probably just forgot me because you spent more time looking at my di ck than my face. Perhaps if I show you…
I slapped him across the face. “I already told you. Wrong person.”
To my surprise, the human smiled. “Oh, I get it now. Daisy Baby wants to play rough again.”
I gave the human a dirty look. “Again, you must be confusing me with someone else. I am not this Daisy
person.
The human smiled even bigger. “Who would you like to be then, Daisy Baby? You pick the name.
He leaned in to give me a kiss, but I shoved him hard, this time borrowing some of Rose’s strength. His
back hit the opposite wall.
I started walking again, but he recovered quickly, came up from behind, and grabbed me. His grip was
strong for a human, and I knew the only thing keeping me from being assaulted right now was the fact
that I was a werewolf.
I was officially done with dealing with this guy. I whirled around me, grabbed his arm, and snapped it in
half.
“Next time, you will take ‘no’ for an answer,” I said angrily.
SURPRISE #4: MY DOPPLEGANGER
I stormed over to the table to tell Charlotte that I was leaving. Ireached the table, but Charlotte was still on the dance floor with Cody. Before I could say goodbye to Sergio and go to Charlotte to let her know I would see her tomorrow, the human-still not satisfied apparently- came over and began shouting.
Sergio stood and looked at the human dismissively. “Franco, what the f&&k is your problem?”
The human pointed at me with his left hand. “This b&&ch here just broke my arm!”
“You know this guy?” I asked Sergio in disbelief.
Sergio sighed. “Yes. Franco is my brother.”
My eyes widened in anger. “Well, your brother just tried to assault me in the hallway. I tried to shove him off several times and tell him that I was not who he thought I was, but he would not stop.”
Sergio turned and glared at Franco. “What the f&&k is your problem, Franco? Did Mama not teach you
better?”
“This is Daisy, brother!” he stated as he continued to hold his arm in pain.
“Daisy? As in Antonio’s Daisy?”
“Yes!”
Sergio looked at me curiously.
“I am not Daisy! And even if I was, that does not give your brother the right to try to force himself on me!”
Sergio then glared at Franco again.
“Daisy likes it rough! I thought she was playing with me!”
“I AM NOT DAISY!”
“Here look, brother!” Franco said as he tried to quickly find a photo in his phone’s camera reel using one
hand.
Once Franco found the picture he was looking for, he showed it to Sergio. Sergio frowned,
“This is not the same girl, brother. But… Lily… I have to tell you, you definitely have a doppelganger. I
understand why he was confused. Here, look.”.
Taking the phone from Sergio, I looked at the picture. My heart stopped.
