The War of the Royals - Chapter 85

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-30 07:25:11

MADDIE POV

I see Josh sitting in a chair in the surgical waiting room. He’s sitting across the room from the rogue who was with Jenna. Josh is glaring at him and the rogue has his head down, staring at the floor, his foot bouncing in agitation. Bruno is between them, pacing the floor, anxious about the status of his mate. I’m sure he’s tried to link in and bug Dr. Langford multiple times already.

Josh sees me and stands up, making his way over to me. I check him over and sniff his scent while he’s walking. He looks and smells healthy, no wounds from the battle, but I do smell the lingering scent of blood from his donation. His inner elbow now properly bandaged up from the needle. I also smell me on him, and I feel Infinity shake with glee, loving our claim is still so prominent on his skin.

We meet in the middle of the doorway and Josh holds me at arm’s length. “How much of this is your blood? Do you need to see a doctor?” He asks and I smile up at

    JOSH POV I watch Maddie as she turns from me and leaves Jenna’s hospital room. I turn my attention back to Jenna and check on her. The medical monitors show she’s breathing normally, and her heart rate is normal too. She has an IV line hooked up with what looks like a saline drip, and she has a blood bag in another line, giving her another transfusion. I’m not sure how many she’s had today. “The doctor came in while you and Alpha were checking on the little shifters. The rogue tore into her brachial artery. She would have bled out if the tourniquet hadn’t been placed on her arm, but subsequently, she’s lost quite a bit of blood. More so than she probably should have, given she’s human. She really needs that Bruno guy here to help her heal. Even if she doesn’t want the bond, his touch will speed up the healing process.” Rocco tells me. “Maybe I should give another unit of blood then, just in case.” “No. There were over a dozen human donor

    MADDIE POV Now I growl out in anger. “Actually, I’m exactly like my daddy, but I’m nothing like my sperm donor, Kent Michaels. If I could erase him and his family from Blue Meadow’s history, I would. They give alphas a bad reputation. There’s a reason I changed my last name to my true dad’s, I never want to be associated with the Michaels line, if I can help it.” “I assumed you had mated into the Evans family, because I’ve known of you for years. But when I realized Josh is your mate, I was confused. You were adopted into the Evans family. You’re one of the lucky ones.” That last part he mumbles under his breath. “Rocco, I know you and your family were banished by Kent when you were a child. How did you survive and not become feral?” This is the question I’m most curious about, plus my history isn’t a secret, but it isn't what we need to focus on right now. I see Josh turn and look at me in confusion out of my peripheral and I know even more explana

    MADDIE POV Fucking rogues! Attacking again! This time though, I know they aren’t here for me and my pack. They are going after some of my allies who aren’t as strong as us. Mitch and Fergie’s short people’s camp is one of those less strong allies. They choose to live in the forests, usually near rivers since most of their members are beaver and otter shifters. There are others shifter species as part of their group too, like fox and badger shifters. Even though they are all different species, they like to live together for safety reasons. They do, on occasion, hire themselves out to human circuses to make money. And they travel around the world, visiting other shifter packs and camps for trade. They are much more nomadic than wolves and they tend to keep to themselves as much as possible. However, the little people shifters have found their own ways to mingle with humans. Along with circuses, they have found other niches within the human

    JOSH POV As one, we both turn back to Jenna and Rocco. “Is everyone calm now? Can we all discuss things like adults?” I ask. No one answers and I roll my eyes at their childishness. Why am I the only one who reacts without violence? The professional NFL quarterback, of all the people here, doesn’t resort to fighting to be heard. Seems like the twilight zone again. I walk over and crouch down to check on Bruno. The bleeding has stopped but his nose is crooked on his face. I know he’ll probably hate me for this, but I reach over and straighten his nose, hearing and feeling the bones grind under my fingers. I jump back as Bruno comes awake, screaming at the pain I just caused him. He swings out wildly but misses me and I hear Maddie growl behind me. I look over at her and just shake my head, silently asking her to calm down. I look at Jenna and she is glaring at me, fists clenched at her side. I don’t know what that is all about. “Fuck me! W

    JOSH POV I look around as we drive and see the entire town is empty of families and kids in their human forms. I do see a few shifted wolves in pairs, patrolling the neighborhoods, shopping areas and in the trees. “Is this all because of Jenna?” I ask, feeling guilty that my sister looking for me is the reason the place looks deserted. “Yes,” is all I get out of Maddie. I look over and see her morphing from the affectionate and passionate Maddie I had in the bedroom to the serious, killing machine Alpha Madison. I’m sad to see the warm, free-spirited woman who launched herself into my arms because I claimed her disappear into the cold, expression-free woman I met in the dungeon. But I guess that’s to be expected. She’s going to the gate to protect her people. That’s not exactly a warm and fuzzy kind of job. Before I know it, we’re pulling up on the rear side of the gatehouse. Maddie slams to a stop with screeching tires echoing through the air. We h
