All Chapters of The War of the Royals: The Alpha's Rose Conclusion: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

JOSH POV Maddie freezes on my lap. She blinks at me, probably in shock from my proposal. For a moment she looks like the absolute cutest little owl with her wide, bright emerald eyes, then a huge smile blooms on her face. She barely gets “yes” out of her mouth before she starts kissing me. At first, it’s a sweet, loving, happy kiss; with her hands gently caressing my cheeks. But as the moments pass, the intensity amps up. She slides her hands to the back of my head and grips me firmer and she deepens the kiss. Her tongue dominates my mouth, barely letting either of us come up for air. My hands begin to roam, and I moan in desire when my hands meet bare skin. For a moment, I had forgotten all she has on is a hospital gown. A growl reverberates through the room. I have no idea if it came from me or her but right this minute, I don’t give a fuck where it came from. The hospital gown goes flying behind her onto the bed after I rip it off her. Maddie yank

JOSH POV I wake up to a type of consciousness that feels like dream but also incredibly real and lifelike. I am aware of my body, and I pinch my arm to check if I’m asleep. It hurts so this could be real, but I don’t put a lot of stock into that hooey. I’ve been in pain in my nightmares before, even when it was self-inflicted. I don’t recognize where I am, but I really can’t see anything to know where I could be. I am surrounded by a soft iridescent, foggy light, and yet, the darkness is still all-consuming in the distance. The color of the atmosphere reminds me of those foreboding moments just before a hail storm or an impending tornado, when the sky is a dark reddish grey green, but also annoyingly bright. However, the mood here is different than that, it is comforting and warm instead of scary and angry. I know I’m not standing on anything. I can’t see my feet, but I sense no pressure of gravity or ground beneath my soles. I feel like I’m suspende

MADDIE POV Josh and I sit back down on the wooden bench, as asked of us, to listen to whatever the fuck it is Selene wants to tell us. Honestly, I don’t really want to hear what she has to say. I’ve been used by Selene to further her agenda, my entire life. My life has never been mine, so I’m not jumping in excitement at the new ‘opportunity’ in my destiny she’s about to reveal. And if she wanted more help from me, she should have answered a prayer or two from me over the years; visited me again before now to give me advice or guidance when I begged for it. Instead I was left to sink or swim, for the most part, all on my own. Yes, I’m bitter. Yes, I resent her for all she’s put on my shoulders. But I’m going to sit and listen, because, despite all the negatives, she’s still my Goddess and I respect her. Even if I haven’t liked her methods of how she’s gone about certain things, when it comes to leadership, sometimes there’s no right answer or right way. Sometime

JOSH POV I have literally frozen in place. My heart begins to race and my head pounds. My spit dries up, making me feel like the Sahara Desert just took up residence in my mouth. Did she just ask me what I think she just asked me? I have no idea what my face looks like at the moment. Probably bewilderment with a huge side of what the fuck. I painfully try to swallow as I start to blink repeatedly as the shock is wearing off and I decide to ask her what she means. But the calm question I meant to ask isn’t what comes out of my fat mouth. “Do what now?!!” What the hell was that, Josh?!! Ugh. I look at Maddie and she grins at me, knowing my brain and mouth aren’t connecting well. “Mother Selene. What exactly are you asking?” “I have been doing some thinking about the matings between shifters and humans. Every human who has been picked to be a mate have something which makes them exceptional. “For example: Rose. She has a calmness

MADDIE POV This is what I have always wanted, to be tied to Tyson by blood. I don’t hesitate with my answer. “Yes!” I yell as happy tears begin rolling down my cheeks. I can’t help the mile wide smile that’s pulling on my lips. The excitement is flowing through me and the exuberance spills over causing me to place kisses all over Josh’s face. Everyone laughs at my antics, but I can’t stop myself from feeling the elation which is bursting forth from my heart. I loathe being related to the vile males who comprised the Michaels lineage. Everything I learned about them over the years was just one atrocious thing after another, in a long list, that I wanted to forget. The world is truly a better place without them corrupting it. “It is almost time to send you back. Madison your DNA will change and Josh you will merge with Eternity during the trip back to your bodies. Before I let you go, know that either of you can reach out if you should you need me. If
