The War of the Royals - Chapter 53

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-17 02:17:08

JOSH POV

I have to hide my smile and a chuckle behind my hands as I turn away from the group. I know laughing is the absolute WRONG reaction here, but I can’t help it, it’s funny as fuck. Granted, if they were my kids, I’d probably be exasperated too, but they’re not, so I’ll enjoy my glimpse into this humorous side of the ranked family life. It honestly doesn’t seem that much different than the life Jenna and I had growing up.

I look over at Maddie, not being able to keep my eyes off of her sexiness for long, and she’s doing a much better job at hiding her amusement than I am. But the laughter is still lighting up her eyes. I lean over and kiss her lips softly, “I like seeing you like this.” I tell her quietly.

“And what way is that?” She asks, while a shocked expression dons her face.

“Happy. Amused. Relaxed. I haven’t gotten to see much of those emotions on your face yet.” She blushes at me with a little embarrassment.

Why do you think Josh started his foundation? Sorry to leave this where it is, but I'll be editing chapters for next week's uploads this weekend, so this is it until Monday evening. I hope you all are enjoying my book. Leave a comment or review and let me know what you think.

    MADDIE POV I see Oli limping again when they get up to leave and he’s making a pained face, so I link over to Mrs. Taylor. *He looks like he’s in pain. Can you carry him the rest of the way? And make him an appointment to have his prosthetic adjusted?* *Yes. Of course, Alpha.* I see her pick Oli up and they leave the packhouse. “You’re terrific with him.” Josh says to me as we begin ascending the stairs to my quarters. Mama and Daddy right behind us, Mama being carried in Daddy’s beheamuth arms. “But I think I have some incredibly cute competition to win your affections.” “Yeah, he’s that way with Greta’s oldest daughter too. I wish he was that way with Mrs. Taylor, but he’s not. And he hasn’t bonded with any of the families we’ve tried out for him. But don’t worry Josh, you get all my affections.” I tell him with a wink. “What happened to him?” “Rogues. About a year ago. It was the first of many attacks this year

    MADDIE POV “Back hundreds of years ago, it was common practice to mate publicly. Over the years, it took a backseat to mating in private and most of us are thankful for that now. However, there are still some who are into exhibitionism, like Maddox and Oscar. I’ve walked in on them countless times. Still, smelling arousal is quite common for wolves. Granted no one has ever smelled mine until today. Surprisingly, I’m not embarrassed by it... well, not much, anyway.” “I’ll try to curb my PDA then,” he begins to tell me, so I stop and turn to him again. “No Josh. I’m okay with it. Please don’t stop showing affection or modify your behavior because you think it’ll embarrass me. Unless it embarrasses you. Being turned on by your mate is normal and expected. I’m not embarrassed. I promise. Actually, it would be more concerning if you didn’t turn me on.” I tell him with sincerity. Josh leans down to whisper into my ear, “So, when will I be able

    MADDIE POV Daddy and Josh stay out, walking around the packhouse and the pack for a few hours. The warriors I ordered to follow them report back to me every fifteen minutes. I was originally worried that Daddy would do something to Josh, because of the possibility of his rejection. But shockingly, he didn’t. They chatted all the while, like they are old friends. At one point they shook hands like they’d come to an understanding of some sort. It is relieving on my mind that they seem to be getting along so well. After their handshake, they turned back to return to the packhouse and I expected to see them not long after, but I guess they came across some pups playing football. Josh got distracted with them. Giving pointers on how to hold and throw the ball then he got roped into playing with them. Daddy joined in. Apparently, not long after, Bruno sprinted up wanting to get in on the action as well. I swear, my Delta acts like a teenager with a bromance-crush mor

    JOSH POV Tyson and I leave the packhouse and emerge into the bright sunshine. I blink a few times to let my eyes adjust and I realize Tyson is already ahead of me by a lot. Damn, that dude has a long stride. I run to catch up with him and then match my pace with his. For a while, we just walk aimlessly, not talking. It’s a nice sunny day, it’s not too cold out and I don’t mind a silent walk, at least until Tyson can organize his thoughts. Finally, he seems to decide on what he wants to say, “Josh, if you hadn’t met Mads, what were your plans for the future?” I’m a little surprised. This was not the direction I expected this conversation to go. In all reality, I expected him to threaten me again. “Well, I was hoping to get another contract. For at least one more year. I wanted to try and make it back to the Super Bowl.” “I had a feeling that was your plan with how much you and Jenna have been calling the team. Have you thought about takin

    MADDIE POV “He’s not sure he wants to stay as my Luna.” I tell Nolan quietly. “WHAT THE FUCK?!! Why the hell would he want to leave? YOU ARE HIS MATE! Doesn’t he realize how special that is? How special you are?!! He should be BEGGING you to mate and mark and have the ceremony. Does Dad know that he’s thinking of rejecting you? Do I need to come there and beat the shit out of him? NO ONE REJECTS MY SISTER! Which fucking pack is he from?! I’m declaring war and cancelling alliances!” Nolan is literally screaming at this point. I just rub my forehead in exasperation. I know I’m going to go through this exact conversation with each of my siblings. “Oh for Moon’s sake! Nolan, calm down please. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation why he’s not jumping in with both feet… he is human. A very famous human, at that. He has his entire life in the human world that he’s worked hard to build. He’s not sure he wants to give that up to move to a pack and be

    MADDIE POV “Sweet pea, put me down. I can walk,” Mama quietly objects to being carried by me. Granted, I’m probably not as comfortable to be leaning against compared with Daddy. He has an amazing torso for cuddling, plus the mate bond helps with the comfort level. But this isn’t the first time I’ve needed to carry Mama over the years and I’m sure it won’t be the last. “Nope. We’re going to my office, and you are taking a much-needed nap, missy. You over did it yesterday and I won’t take any arguments from you about it.” “You’re such a stubborn child.” She huffs, knowing she won’t be able to get out of my hold, so she might as well just accept it. “Jee, wonder who I get that from?” I see a little upturn to her lips as she tries to not smile. Mama is as stubborn as they come. I guess she needed to be, being mated to Daddy. That has me thinking, “Mama, do you have any advice on how I can convince Josh to stay with me?” Mama’s sm
