Josie POV Ethan was struggling with all of this, I could tell. They had put him through some much pain already. I wasn’t sure how much more he could take. He was anxious, and it was radiating from his body, so I did the only thing I knew would calm him down and that was to comfort him, taking his hand in mine he gave me a weak smile but I could tell that it gave him the strength he needed. This would hurt Darius and it was upsetting me knowing about this, feeling his eyes on me, deciding to look at him. I thought I was going to be met with hatred in them, but I was wrong. They held something else. I couldn’t work out what it was because it was replaced with a gorgeous smile. “Is he ok?” He mouthed to me silently so that Ethan wouldn’t hear. “I don’t know.” I replied back to him doing the same thing so that we wouldn’t be heard. The hall Tanda is leading us down is longer than I would ever have thought possible, judging by the outside of the cottage. That was when it hit me. She had
Josie POVDarius looked at me with his beautiful hazel eyes. I could drown in them. If I was being honest, he was gorgeous. All you needed to do was picture a Viking, and that was him. He was tall, very muscular, with a sharp jawline. His hair was a sandy blonde and was tied back in various plaits. The sides were shaved, and he had a beard as well. He was wearing black skinny jeans with a black shirt that had a deep v cut and I could see his bare chest. I wanted to touch him so badly. He noticed me looking at him and he gave me a wink.“Are you ok with coming back to my kingdom?” He asked me.“I am Darius. We don’t have anywhere else to go. I would like to spend some time with you and tell you about what has happened to me. There are things you need to know, but I would like to help you whenever you will allow it.” “Jocelyn, until you reject me, I will always allow you to help me with my kingdom. You and your friends are always welcome and if I am being honest, this is good timing be
King Darius As we pulled up, I wondered if she would want to come with me and let me give her a tour. Wade was already curious about her. I noticed the way he was looking at her. The ones that worried me were Katie and her goons. I would warn her about them because I was would not lie or keep anything from her. Look at how honest she had been about Ethan. As we walked through the building the females in the pack were giving her dirty looks and it wasn’t going unnoticed by me, I would address this tomorrow at pack breakfast, I want to ask her to stay with me in the main house away from everyone here and she could bring all of her friends if she wanted to. To be honest with myself, it would be nice to have company there for once.After I told her about Katie and that I wasn’t a virgin, the relief I felt was amazing. It was like a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders. She wasn’t pissed at me, which surprised me because most she-wolfs don’t take it well when they find out the
Josie “Jocelyn, I think we need to sit down and talk. I need to know what has happened to you and how you know Jolon so that we can work this out together.” I thought after he heard that Jolon knew who I was that he was going to reject me. The memories of what he had done to those poor girls had brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t think I would see him ever again. That night was trying to play for me, but I forced the memory back. Fuck, Wes needed to stay hidden.“Darius, I will explain everything to you. But my friends can’t stay in the pack house. Wes is going to be in danger the second that Jolon sees him.” He needed to be warned.“Derek, Jolon is Darius Beta. You need to make sure that Wes isn’t seen.” I linked him.“Oh shit. Ok shit, we are on our way to Darius’ house now. Jess told us that it was too dangerous to stay in the pack house and that Darius had told her to move us all to his house. I will warn him. But don’t take too long to get here. We don’t want him to see you.”“I
King DariusI truly felt sick to the stomach when Jocelyn told everything she had suffered, how fucked up this world truly was to allow this fucked stuff to happen. But the fact my own god damn beta was in on this made my blood boil. Onyx was calming me down and so was Jocelyn, she had no idea how close I was to going to rip all of their throats out right now, but she needed us she was the only thing anchoring me, I needed to be strong for her. She was my world now my everything and all I could do was listen to all the pain she had gone through, I would vow to her that I would kill all of them, all of them that touched her and caused her pain would suffer more than they could ever have imagined. Every day I would show her how much she could and should be loved. I will take away her pain a little every day till she has none left.“Our mates are strong. We need to be worthy of them and show them how we can protect them.” Onyx howled in my head. The pain this was causing him was unlike a
Josie POVThis was not the way that I thought today would turn out like, let alone I didn’t think that Darius was like this, I felt comforted that a man as strong and powerful as he is that he would show such emotions with people that he has only met today. It was going to be hard for me if I had to say goodbye to him. Jess looked at me with a softness in her eyes. I still couldn’t believe that she was here in front of me and, more to the fact she was Ethan’s sister.“I know that I haven’t known you all long, but I feel I need to tell you. We are not sure how much we can trust my mate, Bane. Darius has been weary of Bane for some time now, but like his Beta, he gave them both the benefit of the doubt. But I am afraid I think I am starting to agree. I think I have been played by my own mate. So I must warn you all to be careful what you say around him and try not to be alone with him.” Jess suddenly said, shocking us all. Nothing was said for a few minutes.“I think I will go home now.
DariusWhen I stepped out of the shower and there she was standing in my room in my shirt that I had put in the back of her closest, my heart pounding through my chest as I had never seen a sexier sight, she was surprising me every time I saw her. She was so shy, and this only added to her sexiness. I didn’t actually know that I liked that until she had just done that. When I tucked her into bed with me, a peace took over me and had me addicted to her and this feeling like my life depending on it, which in a way I guess it did, I pulled her into me; she relaxed into my chest and was soon asleep as I hummed her the lullaby my grandmother used to hum to me when she would try to get me to sleep. As she slept in my arms, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to me if I turned to be her cursed mate.“I have been thinking the same. But the pull to her and Athena is far too great for us to be her cursed mate. I can’t be sure yet, but I think we are her fated mates.” Onyx sighed in my
Darius There were gasps from my pack as what I had just said was starting to sink in. As I was going to continue speaking, someone stood up, looking at who it was. This was going to be interesting.“King Darius, if I may. This is confusing to us all. How can a wolf be the next Queen of the Lycans?” I felt Jocelyn touch my shoulder with her hand as she stood up next to me.“May I?” she asked. I nodded my head, allowing her to say whatever it is she needs to say.“Tell me why a wolf can’t be the next Queen? What gives you all the right to think you have a claim against what the Moon Goddess has chosen? Do you know anything about me or what I have gone through? Do you know who I am related to or what the Moon Goddess has chosen me to do?” She asks Henry all the questions with a calculated look on her face. He seemed stunned and hadn’t said a word. That was when Jolon cleared his throat. Standing up, it seems that he had something to do with this as well.“You are filth. Your parents thr
