Book 2 - Denied by Destiny: Stepping out from the Shadows Prologue 3 years ago ~Josie~ “This won’t work.” My lack of confidence in Maya’s plan is making me want to return back to the taxi. “It will, just don’t look the bouncers in the eyes.” One of Maya’s friend states to me as she pulls me
I was so entranced by that sensation that I didn’t even give the bouncers a second glace…and I was inside the club without realising I had stepped inside. “Nicely pulled off if I do say so myself. Thank you lads.” Maya confidently smiles as the other girls break away from their pretend dates, head
3 Years later ~Josie~ Bang! I let the vibration of the firing gun run up my arms, as it tries to pull at my shoulders. Control…its all about staying in control. There’s nothing quite like shooting my trusty 9mm gun. The way my chest contracts just as I fire, my heart stopping…my body freezing ju
As soon as I enter my bedroom, I can hear the water running in my ensuite. Why did he leave his bag downstairs if he was upstairs having a shower. Then I remember why…he was extremely well built, his toned body always having this skill in shutting my negative thoughts out. He wasn’t afraid to flaunt
~Josie~ As soon as I arrive to the location of the party, I had that ominous feeling wash over me. Which was only confirmed as I pulled up to the house to find the front door blocked with people’s backs as they try to look over heads to something happening inside. Stepping out of the vehicle, I
Two years is a long time for a non fated mate relationship. I did warn her. She warned me back, but then I realised George telling me one day that he found his mate would actually be doing me a favour. “I guess you’re right.” She sighs out before knocking back the second shot I had prepared.
~Josie~ My eyes were locked in a hypnotic state of rapture. They were pulling me towards him, like gravity and I could sense my body wanting to lean forward. To seek out that unknown sensation. Wanting more. It took all my mental capacity to look away. “Where were you?” Jace, the more jovial
“Hold up, let us finish and we’ll come with you. We need to show Knox the borders anyway.” Jaxon calls after me. “Not border patrol Son, Josie works at the hospital now.” I hear Dad correct my eldest brother just as I close the front door to silence. …. Knox, that was his name. Why have I spent
“Still spreading lies I see.” Medea’s tongue clicks out. “Why would they lie about this? Why would Kaia lie about that.” I almost spit out of her, anger boiling within me. “She’s a pathological liar. Everything she says is a lie.” “No…I’ve known her my entire life. She’s nothing like that…” “
~ Cleo ~ The screams increase…their desperate cries becoming more frantic…and my heart breaks when I hear children crying out. No matter what has happened between Than and my family, the pack members were the innocent ones and I refused to let them be punished for accepting me. “Alpha?” Beta
“All me, I fucking know.” I sigh out, releasing my hold on him and running my hands through my hair. “What do you want to do?” Jaxon takes a step closer to me, his jaw tense…his eyes burning with rage. “Who the fuck is this Than? I need her away from him, no matter what…if he thinks he can claim
~ Jace ~ “Jace…JACE!” A hard slap around my face forces my eyes wide open, my jaw aching as both Knox and Jaxon stand above me. My eyes search the room…Josie was passed out on the floor, Callie crouched down beside her holding her hand. “What happened?” I grunt out, rubbing my jaw line, tryin
“The boy’s made a right pig’s mess of this!” Dad growls out as he moves to my side, his hand wrapping around my waist as he starts almost hoisting me in the air. “What are you doing.” Kaia looks to him in shock. “We are leaving, now.” Dad grunts out, lifting me. “No…I cant.” “I won’t let that
I had created a shit storm, one I knew I couldn’t walk away from. “Revenge? Why because you’re the one shacking up with my own mate. Maybe now you know how it feels…” Voices are just getting louder than the one before, everybody was arguing with Than, and he roaring scathingly back at them. I f
~ Cleo ~ The world around me shakes, as if the very walls of this office were caving in on me. They knew, they all knew…that Jace is the Father. Jaxon, he must have told them. “Hector I…” “Well this is perfect.” I cringe at Than’s overly zealous laugh, he was taking joy from my own heartbrea
Hey all, sorry for the delay in chapters but I am full of lurgy. It took me all day to do the update yesterday and this is such a vital part of the story I want to do it justice but I just can’t think when my head is thumping and my body needs the rest. It’s taken me an hour to right just one para
“Than…” My voice is a whisper, as I move in front of him…blocking them from him. Wanting to snap him out of his own building anger at their arrival. Trying to control some part of this deteriorating situation. His gaze moves down to my face, the onset tension within his jaw starts to relax…a sigh e
