Ethan Waking up with Josie in my arms was something that I didn’t think I would ever experience and I wanted this in my life every day, last night was the best night's sleep I had in forever, yes I know I was knocked out for a month but this was different, it was peaceful. Looking down at her, she was still asleep. As much as I didn’t want to move, I had to. There was so much swimming around in my mind. Shimmering away from her, there was coldness where she had been touching my body. This girl was making me fall hard for her, but I didn’t want to tell her if she didn’t feel the same. Pulling on some shorts, I go to the kitchen and Jess is in there already making coffee. “Want a cup?” She asked me. “Sure do.” I said back, taking a seat at the island. It looked like she had been awake for a while already. She placed the cup in front of me. “How was she last night?” Jess asked me, should I tell her what happened or would she be too upset with me about it? ‘Well, I saw a side of her l
“Form a circle now.” She commanded us. We did as she told us. “Jos, stay by my side, no matter what.” I said to her, but she didn’t say anything, her and Athena were already looking around trying to find the threat.“Jess, where are they coming from?” Athena asked her.“All around us. Maybe fifteen. Don’t move on them until I say.” She ordered, that’s when we heard them finally come out of where they were hiding. “Well now, what do we have here? A pack of wolves and our very own gamma.” The Lycans’ voice sent shivers down my spine. He was bad news, whoever he was.“What the fuck do you want, Charles?” Jess’s beast was getting inpatient. Whoever this was, she didn’t like him.“I heard we had the Alpha King amongst us. So we wanted to kill two birds with one stone.” He laughed as he said this and that’s when Athena had moved so silently no one had heard her, all you could hear was bodies dropping to the ground one by one in a few seconds until there was only Charles standing, who had
King DariusOnyx kept pacing in my head, making it hard to concentrate on what we needed to do. It is never easy for us to leave the kingdom, especially since there was a rebellion going on. I still couldn’t help but think it was too much my fault for this, but the way my father had ruled the kingdom needed to change. “They have to know they need to change their ways.” Onyx sighs.“I know, but some of them are still stuck their old ways. We have to get ready to leave soon, so I need you to stop pacing.” “Something doesn’t feel right. We should have gone with them to the border.” My phone rings as I was about to say something to him.“Jess, how are things going?” I asked her.“Darius, just pretend like we are having a normal conversation. Charles and his men circled us, trying to take us out. But Athena took them all out before the first body hit the ground. But the thing is, Charles said that they bugged your office and room. That is why they knew where we were going to be.”“Well n
I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was standing there staring back at me with her big blue eyes. She seemed torn about what to do. She wasn’t the only one that was confused. If that was really Josie, then she was mated to Ethan, wasn’t she? I could feel all of their eyes on me.“Go and talk to mate. Maybe she just needs some time? She has been through a lot. We have to be gentle with her and just listen.” Onyx warned me.“Are you sure that’s what we should do? I don’t want to scare her or push anything onto her that she doesn’t want.”“They are waiting for us, go and introduce us and that’s where we will start.” He suggested, but I found that my feet couldn’t move me away from where I was. For the first time in a long time, I was nervous. What if she didn’t like us? What if she was going to reject us straight away? I am the Lycan King so I am strong, but what has the Moon Goddess done by pairing us together?“Darius, are you ok?” Jess linked me and for the first time I wasn’t sure w
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
