Chapter 6
Reading Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister Chapter 6 feels like reading a portion of a revenge novel story for me. Six years are not brief periods, and it has been a while since Lily’s last contact with her classmates. Now, Lily’s classmates; Marcus, Joey, and Aiden; have been the border guards for Stephanie’s six years of death anniversary.
None of them believe the pretty little lady in front of them is the despicable Lily Donner. Some of them even emphasize Lily Donner is the last person anyone in the West Mountain pack would ever impersonate. Those bullies won’t believe it even if Lily showed her ID card. So, Lily had to insist on calling upon her Beta father to prove she is that Lily “Wolfless Lady” Donner.
Part 2: The Main Story Of Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister Novel
Like most packs, the Alphas always rule the werewolf packs, including the West Mountain pack, which is the pack that becomes one of the central elements in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister novel. However, the same thing doesn’t apply to this novel. After all, the deceased Luna is the eternal ruler of the pack.
Some of you might ask about the reason or background behind it. That’s why this part exists in this article, which is to describe the background story in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister. Stephanie, the late Luna, is not only the most beloved figure in the West Mountain pack.
Her existence continues to reign the West Mountain pack even until her death. Her first few days of the burial ceremony have taken lengthier times and preparations compared to other werewolves in the same pack. Other werewolves continue to talk about how kind-hearted she was to the family, how she contributed to the West Mountain pack’s developments, and how Stephanie had influenced her peers with her confidence and empowering personality.
Stephanie has a little sister, and her name is Lily Donner. Stephanie’s regal and saintly presence in the West Mountain pack leads other pack members to agree Lily murdered Stephanie. After all, Lily has always been more rebellious than her big sister, and other pack members know this fact so well. Here, “other pack members” also apply to James, the future Alpha of the West Mountain pack in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister.
In Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister, James can’t move on from Stephanie yet, even if six years have passed since her death. Now that he knows he is Lily’s mate while despising Lily, he finds thousands of ways to make Lily a suitable target for his boiling feelings. He doesn’t stop calling Lily “Little Brat”, even though Lily has turned into a beautiful-looking young adult.
Meanwhile, Lily’s Beta father has reappeared. This time, will he recognize his lost daughter? Or, will he forever side with the West Mountain pack’s bullies?
Part 3: Some Thoughts And Reflections About Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister
Luna Stephanie’s overshadowing posthumous presence is the key theme in understanding the storyline in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister novel. Indeed, we can’t deny how the West Mountain pack mourns over their beloved Luna’s death.
Stephanie’s shadow presence is so powerful throughout Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister novel that Lily Donner becomes the most invisible and despicable female MC. I don’t even see her as the female MC in the first half of the novel’s chapters. Yet, that’s where Lily’s challenge in life lies. Such a thing also gives a personal touch when we hear the novel’s title, which is, “Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister”.
Lily could even be prettier than her dead big sister. However, other werewolves of the West Mountain pack might not think the same way. Their blind loyalty to Stephanie causes them to think of Stephanie as the all-loving and powerful figure that ever existed in the West Mountain pack’s universe. Those werewolf bullies don’t care even if Lily has become a far more beautiful lady after six years of Stephanie’s death.
The ways the West Mountain pack worships Stephanie are reminders for all readers that their mental and emotional blindness is the cause behind their ignorance of Lily’s presence. Lily never matters, and it doesn’t only involve Lily. At some points in the stories in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister novel, I even think that Lily’s father and James don’t matter to the West Mountain pack’s personnel.
The whole stories clearly state only Stephanie matters, and it seems those “gentlewolves” don’t care if they worshipped the dead. Hence, this novel inspires me not to blame myself if society’s most consistent pattern was to make some people feel small and invisible.
Part 4: A Novel Similar To Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister
“Shadow” is one of the central keywords in describing the storyline’s patterns in Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister. Indeed, we can sense Lily’s difficulties in freeing herself from her big sister’s shadow, who is none other than the late Luna Stephanie.
Lily is not a wolfless lady like the rest of the West Mountain pack members think. Being a Beta’s daughter means she possesses some essential werewolf-only skills, and, as a decent individual, she always tries to be the best in whatever she does. However, none of it matters for the West Mountain pack, the society that has regarded her as a pariah citizen of the werewolf world.
So, what about a novel with similar stories to Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister, that acknowledges both the “shadow” part and the silently powerful lady who has become tired of other werewolves underestimating her ability? Here, I recommend you to read Alpha Of The Shadows!
Alpha Of The Shadows is more than a story of rejection that Alpha Jacob, Lucianna’s mate, commits to her. This novel is also more than just telling the stories according to Jacob, the Alpha of the “Shadow” pack. “I’m one of the greatest fighters in my pack!” doesn’t only become Lucianna’s acclamation to defend herself. Instead, it is also a part of her self-defense against Jacob’s motives in rejecting her.
Still, it doesn’t mean anything to Lucianna’s acceptance of Jacob’s rejection. All she wishes for is just for other community members to recognize her powers!
