Chapter Twenty-ThreeTiffanyThat little freak! She needs to learn to leave Max alone. She needs to stay away from him. He is mine and I WILL be his Luna. I’ve got to find a way to keep her away permanently. Especially after she caused me to have cleaning duties at the packhouse. I can’t believe I’m stuck cleaning this house for the next three weeks. That little bitch will pay for getting me into trouble with Max. I shouldn’t be cleaning this nasty ass packhouse. Josie is the worthless human who should be doing this, not me. The future Luna to this pack; she is the wolf-less freak. She shouldn’t even be a part of this pack. She should have been banished right when her parents realized she didn’t have a wolf. That is going to be the first thing I do when I am Luna. I am going to banish that little she-bitch. Unless I can figure out a way to get rid of her permanently first.Until then I need to make Max happy and do what I am told, not matter how much I hate it. As I am in the process o

Chapter Twenty-FiveJosephineI come around again, and I hear more voices, but they are louder and more recognizable this time, The voices I hear sound mad, and I take a deep breath or what I think is a deep breath, I’m not sure exactly what I am doing right now, I can’t move my arms or legs and I am having a hard time opening my eyes. I try to calm myself down so I can focus on the voices again.“What do you mean, she was attacked? Who attacked her?”That voice sounds familiar but the way they said ‘her’ was like I am not worth the time or effort to go through so called being attacked. Wait a minute, what do they mean ‘attacked’ who was attacked, they couldn’t be talking about me.After I hear everything, they are talking about I try to stay calm, but I need to wake up, I need to open my eyes. When I am finally able to open my eyes and I have to shut them again because of the bright lights. I let a groan come out and all the voices stop, and I then try to open my eyes again and this

Chapter Twenty-SevenMaxWhen I came back to check on Josie, I found out she was asleep and I didn’t want to leave her, so I made myself as comfortable as possible in the chair since I knew I would be here for a while and I found myself talking to her even though I knew I wouldn’t’ get a response, I just couldn’t help myself. My wolf needed to be close to his mate, and I couldn’t resist when I saw her laying there in that bed fast asleep. It’s a good thing she was asleep too because I found myself mentioning the fact that she was my mate and how I would spend forever trying to make it up to her for everything that has happened to her recently and how I feel responsible. I know that I am not technically responsible, but I can’t help the way I feel. A part of me feels that if maybe I kept a closer eye on who did this, then maybe it wouldn’t happened. I will spend forever making it up to her, and I will make it up to her. And if she won’t let me then I will spend forever trying. She is

Chapter Twenty-NineJosephineI look at her with the same look of confusion and tell her about how I had the tingly feeling in the back of my mind and how I felt tingles in my hand just before I woke up this morning.“Well, that explains things then. I think those feelings your feeling might be your wolf trying to come forth and make herself known. Just give her another day or two and you should hear from her very soon. In the meantime, I don’t see any reason to keep you here any longer so I guess we can let you go home. Will your parents be coming to fetch you?”I know my parents won’t come to get me and I know that if they did, I may end up back here tomorrow with the punishment I know they have in store for me when I get home, but before. I can say anything Max jumps in. “No, she will actually be going home with me today, now that she is eighteen, we have a room for her at the packhouse, time to start her training and getting her ready for the duties she will need to learn for her

Chapter Thirty-OneJosephineONE WEEK LATERI think to myself this would be a perfect opportunity to mess with Tiffany and have a little fun with Max too, maybe get him a little riled up.Yes, let’s do it. Let’s mess with her and tease Max a little in the process. It will show her that she has no place by his side.I give my wolf a mental nod to show I agree with her and when I feel Max stand closer to me, I lean back a little more so my back is to his front, and I push my butt back a little so it gently grazes his front and when I wiggle a little, I can feel the rumble in his chest, and I can’t help the smile that comes to my face.I feel Max wrap his arms around me, and I feel his fingertips graze the front of my hips on the small space of skin that shows between my leggings and tank top, and I feel the tingles intensify and I feel a small quiet moan want to break loose and I need to try harder not to let it show.“How much longer until you’re done here?”“I will be done here just
