The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind Chapter 43
Josephine POVGrief and anger flashed across Jules’s face. Desiree gasped in shock, and James clenched his fists. None of them rose to Elijah’s defense.Frankie cleared his throat, his eyes downcast. “I ran when I should have stayed and fought—when I should have told the rest of the pack what Elijah and Tobias had done. I’m here today to set things right. The pack deserves the truth.”“He won’t get away with this,” Diana said, her amber eyes bright with passion. “We’ve been living under his thumb for too long.”There were nods of agreement. It was nice to see the women of the pack speak their minds. Their bravery lifted my spirits, but the pack wasn’t my first concern.“Do you have any news about Theo?” I asked, looking at Jules.“Not much.” He huffed out a sigh. “They’ve got him locked in Elijah’s house with guards on the inside. There are maybe two or three. I couldn’t get an accurate count without drawing attention to myself.”I chewed the inside of my cheek.“Elijah is obsessed wi

Josephine POVIt was strange being back in Kisatchie National Forest. So much had changed in five years, but the forest remained the same. I still found it beautiful and peaceful despite knowing it harbored my kidnapped son. That wasn’t the forest’s fault, though.Jules waited for us just off the road, stepping from behind the trees when Caleb parked the truck. He hadn’t changed much since I’d last seen him, his red hair standing out among the wolves he’d brought with him. More people had shown up than I expected. I thought we’d get two, maybe three. But I counted eight, Jules included. They even had two women with them. That was a pleasant surprise.Jules greeted Caleb with a bear hug, thumping him on the back with a flat hand. When he released Caleb, he turned to me.“Josephine, it’s good to see you again,” he said. He must have seen my skepticism. The last time we’d interacted, he’d dodged my questions about Caleb. “I’m sorry for how I acted all those years ago.”“You’re helping me
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.
The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind Chapter 40
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

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
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

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 9
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
The Wolf King's Silent Secret: What One Night Left Behind Chapter 7
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
