CH37 Safely Kept
Continuing Jossie's POV:
Cas had gotten us sweet and sour pork as well as two boxes of fried rice from the local restaurant not far from the apartment complex. We had sat in the bedroom together and ate the meal in silence. It might be our last. Tonight was the masquerade. I didn't want to say it but we both knew. We would have to sneak in and find a way to stop my sister. I didn't want to see her get hurt. I really didn't. As much as she resembled my mother... I couldn't blame her for anything. It was really all my mother's doing. Everything had became her fault now in my eyes. I should have never stopped my father. Maybe he wasn't a good guy... Maybe I don't know who my real father was. Maybe he was mean all the time when he wasn't with me. I don't know anything past what I saw that night about him. I had spent so long loving him. Thinking he was the stars in my sky. I thought we were both in the same situation in the pack. I thought he was hated justRelated chapters
A Cromwell Rogue CH38 Unexpected Life
Matthew's POV: I was cut off from the world. No way to reach the outside. Where I was would be still on the same plain of existence. I could feel myself breathing. I knew I was alive. Those rogues haven't killed me. I was gaining consciousness. Around me was hard to make out. Only because of the lack of lighting. I was irritated by one lightbulb swinging above my head. The light flickered as if it had a fault in the wiring. I was in a basement room. I could tell from the scent of earth, lack of windows, and the echoing of water dripping from somewhere. Possibly off a pipe. I was sitting in a room that smelled like rot and death. It was disgusting to consider this a torture chamber. I spotted dry blood on the floor. No specific scent from it. It was too old to make anything out of it. I don't know how I got here... It must have been from the rogues. My hands were cuffed up above my head. There above me... A sin
A Cromwell Rogue CH39 Criminal Charges
Continue Matthew's POV: I'm not sure how long it was before I heard the door sliding back open. Beta Ethan came back inside the room. This time with a few people assisting him. They had water for me and a light prepared meal. Not enough to upset my stomach. I was starving and the portions they gave me had it in mind. I would have just enough to leave me wanting more. It was a light stew. They fed it to me before whipping me down and rebandaging my wounds. I was almost done healing. The process seemed to be taking forever. They cleaned me before they would release me. I was too weak to fight back. My arms felt disconnected from my body. The lack of blood flow in them made them discolored. How could someone be so cruel and leave me with my arms above my head? Who knows how long I was forced to stay upright in that position. I thought they were on the verge of falling off. Ethan watched nearby as they rehabilitated me. In fact his mind seemed elsewhere are
A Cromwell Rogue CH40 To Kill For
Continuing Matthew's POV: I followed Ethan out into the hall and to the door a few feet down. He unlocked the cell and I was shoved in before the door shut dramatically behind me. I had tripped as I landed head down on the floor. I looked up in relief as my sister's scent flooded the room. "Matthew?" April asked in surprise as she looked down at my face. Her own was a blank space of horror. She looked pale like a ghost hit her. She had been sweating only moments before as if somehow it was hot in the room. It was as cold as a basement should be. For lack of installation of course. She moved off the bed and helped me to my knees. "Wow... it is you?" She asked in surprise before helping me to sit on the bed with her. "Where are we?" She asked and looked around at her small purgatory. "I don't know." I lied to her. I felt immediately guilty for lying to her. She had been my sister after all. I usually told her the truth. I was an honest man a
A Cromwell Rogue CH41 Unknown Sender
Jossie's POV: We arrived at the apartment complex Nathalie lived at. We had to walk up four flights of stairs before I realized we had to walk back down a set. I had forgotten which floor she lived on. The only reason I switched floors was because the fourth didn't ring a bell. The upper levels looked older than the bottom. Like they were slowly remodeling the floors. We knocked on the door when I was sure it was correct. Nathalie opened it up. "Hey... Jossie, Come on in..." Her eyes landed on Casimir. "You too..." Her eyes met mine again. "I sent Malaya across the hall," she whispered as she opened the door wide for us. I nodded as I entered the apartment first and Casimir was last in. I wouldn't explain to him today that Nathalie had a daughter. If he was curious he could probably find out due to all the evidence surrounding the small apartment. Nathalie locked the door behind us and we found Veronica sitting on the couch. She waved when we entered. I s
A Cromwell Rogue CH42 P 1 Intoxicating
Juliette's POV: The dress I picked out was similar to Olivia Bottega's stunning and sparkly ball gown batist. The light ivory- which almost seemed silver to my eyes. Which cost about fifteen hundred alone. It was gorgeous. It was my kind of style. I looked like I was going to a wedding instead of a birthday masquerade. I wanted to be eye-catching. I wanted to dazzle people and this dress was the perfect match for me. I felt like a princess inside it. It was an off shoulder corset with long sleeves. This was the type of dress that would make anyone believe I was fragile and at the same time... Stunning. It was an open back with a detailed lining of pearl buttons. Each bead would glitter at the slightest of light interaction. The décolleté is garnished with lace carefully caressing my skin. I matched it with a similar light ivory colored mask which would only cover my face and was made from the same lace material. My dress had

Continuing Juliette's POV: "I asked the lady for a dance," I heard the stranger say suddenly. Who was this guy? Did he have a death wish? He shocked me as I never guessed those words would come from him. It was very bold of him to speak against a king. It was very... attractive. My eyes hesitated as I resisted looking away from Camren. Every excuse in my body told me to deny Camren from getting his moment alone with me. I wanted to hear what this stranger would say. I wanted to glide against the ball room's floor with him as lead. A dance? It could fun. It sounded exciting. "It can wait. This is more important," Camren said suddenly. His eyes would hold their gaze upon me. "You have a choice," the guy whispered in my ear. "You don't have to listen to him just because of his title. You're just as important." I widened my eyes slightly. I was... just as important? Who was this guy? Was he not from around here? This was crazy. Camren's eyebrows lowered in a scowl.
A Cromwell Rogue CH43 Across
Jossie's POV: It amazed me at the size of their pack house. It was a gigantic manor. Something you would see somewhere in Europe's museum of houses. Our costumes would certainly go well with the manor's theme. Everything was modernized besides the year this manor was built. It had been well refurbished over the years. As if every year they had nothing better to do. This place must have personal grounds keepers for the landscape to be beautiful. The place was surrounded by an electric fence. The gates were wide open with valets waiting. I'm not sure where they would take the vehicles to. It was apparel we would walk from the gate. Nathalie made sure to have our invitations ready in case we were questioned. Nathalie's dress was black just like mine. With a Victorian gothic appeal to it. It was probably made from fine cotton and lace. Nothing too special about it. It was round necked to compliment her flat chest. Her chocolate eyes were cover
A Cromwell Rogue CH44 Downwards
Continuing Jossie's POV: I was going to find Casimir. My heart throbbed as I thought of what would happen if we didn't make it out of here unnoticed. Would that bastard find us? Would he kill us on command? My mind was heavy with the thought of what my sister would do if she saw me here. I wanted to leave. My eyes scanned down the hallway frantically. I have to find him. My head spun and I hit the wall. A few people glanced my way in alarm. They were coming my way but my mind was going someplace else. My body was crashing. I could feel a sickness rising up from the pit of my stomach. I was nauseous as my surroundings changed. I was seeing through Juliette's eyes once again. It was like she was channeling me to her. "You know what I should give you?" Camren's voice made my skin crawl. I was uneasy immediately. I was seeing through her eyes now. It was like I was there inside her. "I-I'm not sure," her light voice would echo th
