Josie's POVHow could I have not smelt the rogues? Alpha Than and Gamma Wesley had taught me better than that. They had come out of nowhere and this time they had come in from another side. I know it wasn’t my fault, but if anyone else had gotten taken. I had a feeling who was this behind this and that’s why I needed to go back to my old pack and kill them.Garrett and Ethan kept looking at me. I didn’t mean to make them submit, but I couldn’t let the rogues attack anyone. No one was dying on my watch again. Garrett was awakening something inside me that I didn’t understand. I know they found it odd that I was so close to this pack, but they would never be able to understand. I still didn’t myself. Yes, he killed me every day, but he healed me. They loved me and gave me an education. I was allowed to leave my room. My life was mine during the day and I could do as I wanted. That was when I meet Silas and Wes. We became very close friends and with the help of Alpha, Than they trained m
We stared at each other for I don’t know how long. All I wanted was to be in his arms again.“Garrett please. I wasn’t going to reject you.” I sighed, breaking the silence first because Athena kept whining in my head because she wanted our mate with us. He looked at me with a confused look on his face.“Garrett, I opened my heart for the first time in six years to feel something for you, but you walked away and didn’t want me. I don’t know how to feel about you, Garrett? I don’t know what I want? But all I know is you made me feel something that I have never felt before and that was safe in your arms.” I admitted to him. He didn’t know how big it was for me to open up about anything, let alone having feelings for anyone. Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes again. He gently touched my face, causing sparks to go through my body. He lifted my chin, so we were looking into each other eyes.“Josie, when you shook your head at me, I thought you didn’t want me. I am so sorry. It look
“We should leave so that we can get to the Crescent Moon pack sooner. Sara told me she needs me to get home soon, but won’t tell me why.” I laughed. That was Sara for you. Her big blue eyes looked down at me.“You will get to know Sara very soon once we get back.” Not wanting to leave from between her legs. I wanted to taste her so badly. She needed to be shown how a man loves his woman. I wanted to devour all of her. Although I knew it might never happen, I would do whatever she wanted me to do and nothing more. We had both been broken in numerous ways. The rumors that went around the pack about me being a ladies’ man had me worried. In all honesty, I had fooled around with only one person before, but I had never slept with her. I couldn’t bring myself to do it and I was glad that I didn’t. Hopefully, she didn’t need to cross paths with Celica. She has been trying to get me to take her as a chosen mate for years now, even writing to the council to try to force their hand into making
AlexisHoly shit, she was alive. Alpha Than was meant to fucking kill her. That was the deal. How did she survive that? We had gone over the deal about what he was meant to do to her. That’s why father gave him all that money and investments for his pack. I was the only one in the pack that saw her for what she was: a weak omega. I got Aiden on board when I convinced him he was the one that was meant to be Alpha and not her. It didn’t take long at all to get Alpha Jacob and Luna Maree on board, either. She had no one. But there she stood with the fucking Alpha King, of all people. When did she get so powerful? That was when I knew I had to get the king’s attention, but as I was doing that. The roar made me drop to me my knees; I saw his deadly eyes. I didn’t think that I would ever see my mate again.Garrett’s POVI never thought I would see her face again. My mate was giving me the strength and calmness that I desperately needed right now. Her eyes were wide with shock. Why the hell
After many hours of trying to save them both, Alpha Ethan was in a stable condition and I was positive that we had gotten all the silver and wolfsbane out of his blood. Then there was Garrett. He had to be knocked out also because he had the silver go through his body, but it was a tiny amount compared to what Ethan had. We placed them each in their own room, as I was sure Luna Sara would want to have her own privacy with Ethan. I felt a hand on my shoulder after we had put them in their rooms and all we hooked the equipment up to them.“Jocelyn, never have I ever seen anyone do what you just did. If you weren’t here, I am afraid to say that we would have lost Alpha Ethan. So I want to thank you and I was hoping that you might help me here at the hospital and teach me what you know.” I felt honored that William had said that. He had it in him. He just needs the right person to pull it out of him.“It would be my honor, William. I will start tomorrow. As long as Alpha Ethan and my mate
Gamma James was waiting outside his door, his eyes swollen. It looked as if he had been crying.“Jocelyn, nice to meet you. I am Gamma James, Luna Sara said you needed to talk to me about something.” He had a very calming voice.“Please come inside.” He gestured as he hold the door open for me. I could hear whimpering coming from somewhere in the apartment. I opened a link so that his mate wouldn’t hear. His eyes were wide with shock as he realized I was already a member of the pack.“I will explain everything, Gamma. Is your mate ok?” I asked him.“Don’t know why she is upset? I think she was doing ok. I offered her some food, but she started to cry and I haven’t been able to stop her from one of her episodes.” He sighed. I could tell that he was hurting seeing his mate like this.“Did you want me to explain what happened to Alpha and Beta, or do you want me to try to calm your mate first?” I asked him.“I won’t be concentrating whilst she is like this. Plus, William linked me, infor
Beep, beep… the alarm was sounding, waking me from the first night where I had no dreams. I felt relaxed. Looking at the time, it was quarter to five. Looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, there were gym clothes, casual and business attire. Luna Sara had really thought of everything. There was time for quick work out before I was to be at the hospital. Taking a change of clothes in a bag, I knew there would be showers at the pack gym or hospital. I ate and made my way to the stairs. It seemed like no one else liked to get up at this time, as I was about to head outside the elevator dinged. “Josie, you’re up early. You heading for a workout?” James’s voice came from behind. He wasn’t alone. Another male was with him and I was guessing this was Isaac. “Yeah, are you guys?” “Wanna head over with us?” “Sure, I was just going to wonder around and hoped I would find the gym.” I admitted. James smirked. “Josie, this is Isaac. Isaac, this is Josie.” James introduced us. He shook his he
“Hey you.” I heard a voice at the door. It was Isaac, shit I had forgotten that I was meant to go and see him this afternoon.“How is he doing?” Isaac asked me as he walked in and sat on the seat on the opposite side of Garrett.“He is healing well. All vitals are good. I don’t think it will take him as long as it Ethan to heal.” I confided in him. He looked at me, confused.“Sorry, we think that Ethan may have something else in his system, but we don’t know till the test results come back and we are still waiting. The good thing is he is healing, but it is slower than normal. I think we might need Luna to come and sit him for a few hours a day to help him heal.” “Cause mates help each other heal quicker. Is that why you are sitting with Garrett?” “I don’t know what I am meant to do, Isaac? It’s there the mate bond, but you wouldn’t believe how weak it is, and all the times I have come across mates healing each other, they were able to do it without even being marked.” I confessed.
Darius’s POV Since, when could our mate show someone the memories of what had happened? Seems we didn’t know too much about her powers, but that was to be expected, I guess. It was hard to just sit there and watch her show Jolon and me not comfort her. But it was always her choice. I would never force her. She seemed to have a plan with Jolon. I trust her judgment. “We will only step in if something happens to our mate.” “I agree buddy.” Trying to calm my inner beast, because we both knew if he couldn’t stay calm, then how was I ever going to? Josie had placed her hand on my lap, rubbing little circles on my thigh with her thumb as if she could sense my tension, which if she could, then I needed to reel it in. “Jolon, do you think you will tell us your story?” She asked him in barely more than a whisper. I looked at Jolon, hoping that my old friend was still in there somewhere and he wasn’t too far gone, that we couldn’t bring him back. His face was full of sorrow, looking into he
Josie’s POV“Darius, what about Jess?” The question had been eating me up since I had let the others become part of the bond. I was sitting on the bed as Darius was finishing a few things on the computer. I would be his tonight and he would be mine, but I wanted a clear mind of everything first.“I don’t know. I can honestly say this is the one time I am unsure of Jess and her motives. We need to go and see Jolon first before anything is decided, but I want to do one thing first.” He wriggled his brows at me. I almost forgot about Jolon, with everything that had just happened. Wiggling my finger at him indicating he should come over to the bed, he stalked over to me slowly. “Are you sure you want to do this now, my little mate?” his voice was husky, making my core throb. After everything I had been through, my heart was telling me this was right and the timing was right. “I am Darius. After what happened to me, I didn’t know if I would ever be ready, but I have a feeling we need to
Jocelyn’s POVThe scars that lined Xavier’s back were the hardest. It seemed like his skin had been torn apart. The mental scars these scars left on him ran so deep I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to heal him.“Athena, I need your help.” I whispered to her.“Jos, they run deep. If we take them, they will not only scar us mentally as well, but it will be physical.” She whispered as well. She was crying from the pain Xavier had suffered.“We have to Athena. I know we have to do this.” As I told her this, the memories he held of what happened entered our mind. So much pain because he wouldn’t give his sister up. She doesn’t know he suffered this because of him. The claws ripped through my back. Screaming, I fall to my knees, but I wasn’t done yet, they others approached me but I shook my head no. Instead, they gave me their strength, but it meant they would all bear some sort of
Darius POV“Ok.” She pulled me out of the room, because there was so much to do and I was feeling guilty I hadn’t told everyone yet. Dinner was going to be delivered soon. Everyone was looking at Ethan and Ava like they wanted to kill him. They needed to understand about everything. We couldn’t be divided, especially now, we would be stronger united.“There are things that have happened you all need to know about. Now that you're awake, Ethan, it will make it easier with a plan of attack.” This had their attention. I motioned for them all to sit at the table, which they did.“This entire time, we have been looking into and paying attention to the omega attacks, but I think this has been a distraction. I had a prisoner that just showed up and I now know is the mate of the rogue king planted here as a spy. The things she has done are unspeakable. She is Jocelyn’s birth mother. She was the Luna of the Berserkr Night M
“GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW.” I roared at her, vile was building in my stomach. I would kill her. How fucking dare she do is. How the hell did she even get into my office? Helga got up to see who I was talking to. She looked like she might faint, but what she did next surprised even. She pushed past me and grabbed Katie by the throat.“How dare you sneak into Alpha’s office and dress like the slut you are? He has a mate now and if she was here and caught you. Goddess help you Katie.” She hissed at Katie, whilst Katie was clawing at her hands to let her throat go. After a second she throw her to the ground. Katie grabbed her robe and ran out of the office before I could do anything else.“Fuck, I am so sorry, Alpha. I didn’t know. She must have snuck in when I wasn’t here.” She spoke really fast. I placed my hand on her shoulder.“Thank you Helga, for what you just did. I know you would have never have let her in.” I gave her shoulder a squeeze, she gave me a nod, then walked ou
Darius’s POV I hated to leave my mate, but my gamma really needed me right now. Josie gave me a look that I knew she understood that Jess needed me. Her mate had betrayed her, had cheered on Jolon to beat her. I mean, what kind of mate does that? His true colors started to appear. Jess was distraught. Never had I seen her cry, but here and now she was sitting in my office with a drink in her hand, crying tears over someone that didn’t deserve her. She looked at me. “How could he do that? I know you always had your doubts, but I am his mate.” She sighed as she downed her glass of whiskey. It was hard to become drunk as a Lycan, but not impossible if you lace your drink with wolfsbane, then you would be a goner. The burn of the liquid going down your throat was mostly enough. Jess had never had more than a few drinks, and she was now at her limit. I would let her have. “Because he is a fool, Jess. Jolon has him fooled like he had me fooled. Bane is an idiot and doesn’t seem to know w
“Just ahead in the clearing. There is a scared waterfall that allows one to heal their mind if they are in need of it.” Norris explained to me. Leaving them behind, I blocked out their thoughts, putting up a barrier between us and the world. Athena went into the clearing. The waterfall twinkled from the sunlight that seemed to dance on its surface. It was like thousands of diamonds in the water. The rocks that surrounded the waterfall were littered with flowers. It looked like a rainbow. The water was clear, even though it looked deep. Athena entered the water. We felt a tingling coursing through our body as we went further into the water. She swam around as whatever magic was held in the water worked on Athena.“Your turn now Jos. Just go with it.” Athena said to me. I could feel the calmness from her. Shifting back, deciding to float on my back as the water washed over my body, clearing my mind of all the hurt I had ever felt. How is this working? I thought to myself. Feeling the pr
Jocelyn POVComing into view was a rock formation that would have once been a cave from the looks of it. There were four people waiting out the front for us. Two were the guards, and the others were Derek and Isaac.“Luna, Xavier. I thought you had knocked off?” The more burly guard asked Xavier. “All good Norris. Turns out that Laila is mates with our Luna’s friend.”“Holy shit, Lai found her mate. Wow, that’s incredible.”“See, I knew Alpha was right in wanting to open up the kingdom to the wolves. You don’t know what you have done for us Luna. Maybe I will find my mate as well.” He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug, which made me squeal at first, but I returned the hug.“Sorry Luna, I am Norris, and this guy here is Fred. We normally are guards down in there, but today we decided we wanted some air.” Fred smacked Norris.“Sorry about him Luna, we aren’t slacking…”“Fred, honestly, if I had to send all my days down there as well, I would want a breather. But please call me
Jocelyn“Jess, what happened?” Darius asked her.“I was training with one of the warriors and that idiot decided he was going to attack me from behind. So I showed him that he couldn’t touch me, but the more concerning thing was Bane didn’t stop him. He was cheering him on.” “Jess, let’s go and talk.” Darius said to her. They looked over at me and Jess had a saddened look on her face.“Jocelyn, did you and Wes want to come with us or stay here and train with the others show them what you and Athena can really do?” He was giving me a choice, but the look on Jess’s face I know she needs to be with just him. Jess and I are friends, but when it comes to matters with your mate, sometimes the fewer people know, the better. Looking at Wes, he nodded his head that he wanted to stay and train.“We will stay.” And with that, Darius and Jess left to go talk. Wes looked at me like he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.“Well, if it isn’t the whore of a she-wolf that thinks she has a
