Shock Therapy
Josie's POV(Continued)
"Um. Maybe we should go to the hospital?" Char suggested carefully.
"No doctor can fix this. No amount of drugs can erase this goddamn surreal reality. Jo. Josie. Joanne. Who am I? I used to be Josie. I was fine, damnit! I might have not been very happy, but I knew my place. Jo was just a nickname. And then that bastard shows up, and now I don't even have my name! Now I'm supposed to be Joanne. But ever since I got here, I just keep crying and screaming and getting confused. They tell me only what they want me to know. Won't explain anything else! One video call. Just one and it lasted ten minutes and I don't have a home to go back to. No family to call mine and I'm supposed to be fine with it. But I dealt with that as best as I could. I tried to rationalize, to move on. But then Grayson shows up and he dangles the idea of redemption in my face. All I had

Josie's POV(Continued)I emerged from the shower feeling like a pruned lobster. When the scalding hot water was pouring over me, I'd been in bliss, but when I finally forced myself to leave the sanctuary of cascading waters, my skin was red all over. But my head was clear and I felt almost nothing, so mission accomplished. Waiting for me outside the cubicle was a green dress. It didn't look too bad, nor was it plain. I picked it up and stared at Char's offering with bewilderment. The dress was....short to put it mildly. There was no pant or jean to go along with it. This backless monstrosity would leave my thighs and knees in full view of everyone. Okay, where had my conservative friend gone? I should have known something was wrong the second she suggested we go clubbing. A place where we would naturally stand out as sore thumbs."Char! Where's the rest of the dress?" I yelled at the front d

Josie's POV(Continued)Her wide smile dimmed at my less than pleasant welcome. "What's up Joanne? Aren't you happy to see me?" Most definitely not. She was the very last person I expected to see here."Jo. Please call me Jo." I corrected in as calm a voice as I could. "Did Vladimir send you here?" My eyes narrowed on her. "I'm pretty sure I made it clear to that asshole that I wanted to be left alone."Her face shuttered, her brown irises hardening in response to my hostility. "Wao, might wanna ease up on the welcome Jo. Any warmer and people will think we're besties." I flushed bright red, my anger fleeing in the face of her reprimand."Hi. My name is Charlotte Woods." Char held her hand out politely.Lilya took it with a cautious smile. "Hi, I'm Lilya. Lilya Sedof. You're not going to bite my head off for crashing your party as well, are you?""No, the more the merrier actually
Claimed By The Vampire King Breaker's Blood
vladimir's POV The hunter has to go.He was a complication I didn’t need and an unwanted distraction for my wildcat. If he hadn’t stuck his nose where it didn’t belong, there would have been no need for Joanne to find out about the blood bind. She would have no reason to distrust me or run. She fought me, questioned my actions, but not once did it occur to her to make a run for it. Until him.No, the hunter had to go. His influence on my wildcat was too great. I’m the only one allowed to have such power over her.The little hunter’s actions were a bit unexpected to be honest. According to reports, his interest lay somewhere else. Specifically, in a little delicate flower called Anna Braille. Yet, he’d been all over my wildcat. It was almost as if the hunter was trying to stake a claim on Joanne and warn me off. Judging by how she had lapped up every possessive action, it was obvious my wildcat would lo

Vladimir's POV(Continued) The figure had been following me for two blocks now. Rather than have one of my warriors come pick me up, I had chosen to walk off my aggression.My mind was not blissfully empty, but it's chaotic state made it hard for any singular thought to ring loudest.I stopped in the middle of the next alley I came upon. It was not too dark out, a little past three in the morning, but the alley, a small narrow space between a skyscraper and a twenty storey building was pitch black.Most of the humans knew better than to traispase around the dark at a time like this. I am the king of all predators, so I was most certainly not being stalked. Someone does want my attention though. And I knew exactly who, and why. "You are no wimp, are you? Step out here and state your business or I will leave and I won't grant you another audience." I announced after three seconds of waiting for him to ap

Skyline Hotel, Variku, Tartu.Saturday, 3rd of august, 2024.Josie's POVDance Monkey blared from somewhere in the room, disrupting my sleep."Ugh." I groaned, trying to evade the harsh glare that was boring a hole through my eyes. Neither sound nor glare would quit, so I rolled over to make them quit.It took a while to identify the disturbing sound as my phone's ringtone. Rubbing the crust from my eyes, I stared blearily at the my notifications. I had one missed call and a message from Lilya. It took a while to see clearly, but once I did, sleep fled from me. 'Your driver is waiting outside. Meeting’s at 9. don’t be late.' "Char? I called through a yawn. It felt like I hadn’t slept in ages.A part of me wanted to go back to sleep, hide in the cocoon Char and I have been in for the last two days. But then today’s the day! I finally get answers to everything. "Char!" I called more insistently. "Hmm?" She groaned, turning over in sleep, her hand flinging out to push over a tray of h
Claimed By The Vampire King Family Discussion
Josie's POV(Continued)"Wha-" I began but my shocked rambling was cut off by the slim hunter who turned an unimpressed glare on the angry bear that was Kora."That's enough now Miss Puhvel. You are treading heavily on the side of recklessness. The result of such actions will be dire for you, so I suggest you get a hold of your emotions." The man announced calmly."Oh, and what the fuck are you going to do if I don't stop?" Kora sneered. "This is my territory. No one will tell me what to do in it and no one will take it from me." The wind howled louder, slapping my face with brutal intensity.Someone whimpered. I'm ashamed to find that the someone was me.“You will cease this behavior right now!” Ivan growled as he rose to his feet. Kora turned her fierce-some snarl on him, but he merely used his extra three inches on her to get a hold of her shoulders. He clamped his hands on her and forced h
Claimed By The Vampire King He Loves Me!
Josie's POV(Continued)“Hi all.” I called timidly into another conference room several minutes later.How many of these conference rooms were on this floor?“How'd it go?” Char asked, stalking forward.I’d found both her, Grayson and the hunters in a conference room two doors down from the one where Miss Piia had gotten me the position of CEO. I couldn’t find Vladimir, Lilya, Alfred or the Roman god I’m guessing was the famed lawyer anywhere. I wondered where they were.Oh, why did I care? “I'm the new CEO.” I said, answering Char’s question.“Is that a good thing?” Char asked doubtfully, staring at my face.“I don't know Char.” I answered honestly. I had more and more questions, this whole damned situation getting more and more muddled by the minute. “Congratulations miss Puhvel.” The slim hunte
Claimed By The Vampire King Desperate For Affection
Josie's POV(Continued) He opened the first door he came to and I was promptly shoved into it. The lighting here was a bit dim and the room was small. Probably a closet, but I didn't have time to investigate it, stuck on the naked fury in Vladimir’s gaze as I was. He inhaled deeply, and when he looked back at me, he looked less like he was about to choke the life out of me. “A stuffed toy? Really? That's all it takes?” He sniffed with disgust, snatching captain Cuddles from me and flinging him away, much to my dismay. I shouted, but I couldn't move past his bulk. I shifted away from him, but my back hit the wall, telling me quite clearly that I had nowhere else to go. There was distance between us, thankfully, since Vladimir didn't try to close the gap between us. “I never once thought you were dumb, but perhaps you are so desperate for affection that you are willing to ignore every warning sign.” I shrunk further away from the derision burning in his gaze
