Caleb POV

I buried my nose in Josephine’s hair and breathed her in as she scratched her nails against my scalp. A peacefulness I had never experienced washed over me, and I tightened my arms around her. The pain of what I’d discovered was no match for the bliss of being with Josephine. She was soft against me, her smaller body fitting against mine like we were meant to be.

And we were fated—I could finally accept it. My blinders had been removed, and I knew I’d made a huge mistake in pushing Jo

  • The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind    Chapter 41

    Caleb POVI gripped the steering wheel, my body tense as we drove through the Louisiana countryside. I scanned the road ahead in case we caught up to Duncan, but there wasn’t much hope of that. I reminded myself it was better to mount an offense at the commune, but even that was risky.Mentally, I ran through all the points of ingress at the village. I’d done a good job shoring up the defenses, but Duncan had been lax on security for a few years. It used to anger me, but now I am grateful. It made things easier.There were only a few places they could hide Theo, and I noted all the angles of attack. I couldn’t afford to fail.Josephine radiated tension from beside me. I wanted to reach out and calm her with my touch, but I didn’t know if she would welcome the gesture.“How are you doing?” I asked instead.“Fine,” she lied, fidgeting with the pendant. She hadn’t let go of it since she picked it up in the alleyway. “So, what’s the story with the mountain lion?”I shifted uncomfortably.

    Josephine POVI paced the length of the shop, gripping my fleur-de-lis pendant. It protected the user from psychic intrusions and physical harm, but only if they wore it. Yesterday’s slip-up—when Theo lost it in the sand for an hour or two—could have been enough to put him in danger. And today, they merely had to break the chain to take him.Theo must be so scared.I choked back tears. I didn’t have time to fall apart. I had to be strong for Theo. Nothing else mattered.“Josephine,” Vivian said, approaching me with shaking hands. “I’m sorry I couldn’t get you to Theo in time. He was hidden from my sight until the pendant came off.”“It’s not your fault. You have nothing to apologize for,” I assured her. She looked almost as troubled as I felt. I knew she cared about my son deeply. I sucked in a shaky breath. “Can you tell me if we’ll get him back?”I wanted to take the words back immediately. It didn’t matter what Vivian said; I’d never give up on Theo. I had to believe I’d rescue him

  • The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind    Chapter 39

    Caleb POV“Caleb, where have you been?” Jules asked in a harsh whisper. “Elijah has been going crazy since you missed your check-in.”“A lot of shit has gone down. I’ll explain in more detail later, but I don’t have much time,” I replied. I felt guilty for not contacting my friend—my brother, really—before now, but it was too late for regrets. “Long story short, I found Josephine, and it turns out—” I took a deep breath. Saying it aloud for the first time would make it real. “Josephine had a son. My son.”“What?” Jules said, his shock clear in his voice. “And she didn’t try to contact you?”“She had good reasons to stay away, and it’s not like she had my number,” I said, defending my mate. I didn’t blame her, and what I’d done in rejecting her was far worse. “But that’s not why I called. Theo, my son, was taken by members of the pack. I know Elijah is behind this. Theo is the offspring of second-generation fated mates.”“He’ll want Theo to strengthen the pack,” Jules said, understandi

  • The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind    Chapter 38

    Caleb POVRage swept through me like a wildfire. My pack had taken Theo, and nothing happened in the Moon Edge pack without Elijah’s approval. He’d murdered my parents, and now, he’d kidnapped Josephine’s son.I knew his fucked-up reason for killing my parents, but why he’d gone after Theo was a mystery.“I don’t understand why they kidnapped the half-human child of a non-pack member,” I said, more to myself than others. I hadn’t been in contact with the pack in weeks. If they came to town, it would have made more sense for them to go after me—or Frankie, their original target.Josephine avoided my gaze, her face pale.“Do you know why?” I asked. The answer could be the key to getting Theo back or, at least, figuring out what happened.She exchanged a glance with Vivian, who nodded encouragingly. Josephine took a deep, halting breath.“Yes, I do,” Josephine admitted, still unable to meet my eyes. “Because Theo isn’t half-human. He’s your son.”I should have been numb to any emotion ap

    Josephine pov“So, how was your date?” Vivian asked, leaning her elbows on the counter while I got the cash register ready for the day.“It wasn’t a date,” I said, barely looking up from my work.“Millions would believe you,” she said with a sarcastic laugh. “And you didn’t answer my question.”“It was good,” I paused, “for the most part.”“What part wasn’t good?” she asked, immediately fixating on what I’d left unsaid.I fiddled with my necklace.“It’s stupid,” I admitted. I felt embarrassed for how I’d acted—well, overreacted—in front of Caleb. “While Theo was playing at the beach, he lost his pendant. I don’t know how long he went without protection. I panicked, and I’m surprised Caleb didn’t run for the hills right then. And I scared poor Theo.”“Oh, honey.” Vivian squeezed my hand. “Of course, you didn’t scare Caleb off. Don’t beat yourself up. Did you tell Caleb why you freaked?”“I didn’t know how to tell him that I’ve spent the last five years terrified he or his pack would tu

    Caleb POVI focused on Theo instead. I waded into the water with him, ready to grab him at any moment. We jumped over the waves together, going a little further with each hop. I paid close attention to how deep we went, remembering Josephine’s warning.When I spotted a large incoming wave, I acted fast, grabbing Theo and lifting him just as it crashed over us. It only reached my waist but would have swept Theo off his feet.“Are you okay?” I asked a drenched Theo.He smiled wide.“That was so cool. Can we do it again?”I laughed.“Sure.”It started a new game. Whenever a wave approached, I’d pick Theo up and dip him through the top. His giggles were contagious, and soon, I was laughing harder than ever. Theo couldn’t get enough, asking again and again for me to dunk him in the water.I acquiesced until Theo had worn himself out, and then I carried him to the beach, his head resting on my shoulder.“Best day ever,” he mumbled.I cleared my throat, fighting tears.“Yeah, me too, buddy,”

    Josephine POV“Caleb!” I called, but he walked away without another word, leaving me alone in the village square. The sun beat down on me, but I couldn’t feel its heat. Learning we were fated mates was a shock. I had misgivings about the mating ceremony but not about Caleb. I thought we had a real

    Caleb POVI didn’t sleep well and not because I’d insisted Josephine stay in my bed while I took the short, lumpy couch. Even with the door closed, I could smell her desire. It had been there since I helped her dress and only grew stronger when she climbed into my bed. It should have felt intrusive

    Josephine POV“I don’t need your help,” I said, trying to draw myself up to my full height and wincing as my side burned.“Sure, you don’t,” he drawled. He took me by the arm and led me to his cabin. I wished his touch didn’t feel so good. I desperately wanted to lean into his warmth. Even after he

  • The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind    Chapter 15

    Josephine POV I walked into my father’s house—I suppose it’s my house now—with bloodshot eyes and a gaping hole in my chest. Nothing had changed in the week I’d been gone. I was still alone, still grieving, but it felt so much worse. The cottage on the edge of my small town had never felt cramped
