All Chapters of The War of the Royals: The Alpha's Rose Conclusion: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

MADDIE POV The morning, unfortunately, comes all too quickly for me. I just want to hide away with Josh and spend days trying to get pregnant. True to his word, Josh ran a big bath for us last night once we were back in our quarters. We soaked in the hot water, me ensconced within his meaty, muscular thighs, his arms wrapped around me, and his hard member smushed between my ass cheeks and lower back. He held me tightly into him and I enjoyed the warmth and love coming from his body. We relaxed and got caught up on all the happenings within each of our lives while we were apart. He went into great detail about his teammate Lucas and his wife’s divorce, and Josh’s part in all of it. I can tell the loss of that friendship has hurt him, but he says giving it up was worth it because Lucas wasn’t the person Josh thought he was. He misses the illusion not the true man he turned out to be. Despite having missed him and wishing he had made a diff

JOSH POV I could feel Maddie’s love and awe with her pack members, but I needed to remind her that they wouldn’t be as good as they are if they hadn’t had her influence all these years. I’ve heard the talk about what it was like living here with the former Alpha and his horrible ranked members. Everyone lived in fear of them and the possible repercussions of accidentally making a mistake. Many families fled living here because of that fear. No one should ever live in a constant state of fight or flight, and I’m glad Maddie has proven herself to them. That she is nothing like her former sperm-donor. She is a good and honest leader. Not only has she proven herself with her words, but with her actions as well. She leads by example and it has made a world of difference here in Blue Meadow. Now they all live a good life, and the only real fear is one of a random rogue attack. Although we’re figuring out that the rogue attacks haven’t been random. They ha

JOSH POV I sit at the head table with Maddie, which is slightly elevated so everyone can see us, and we’re staring out over a huge room full of alphas and lunas. All of their faces are completely focused on us and I have to say, it is a little intimidating; these shifters run a vast majority of the successful wolf packs in the United States and Canada. But I’m not going to show that they intimidate me or even hint at it on my facial features. Maddie needs me to be strong by her side, that is what I’m going to do. Although I have to say it helps that many of the faces are Maddie’s family, however they chose to sit further back and let the unknown leaders to me sit closer. “Everyone, thank you for coming today. I know this isn’t everyone in our family’s alliances, but it’s a good start. We need to inform you of some information we have gained recently. From a prisoner. A traitor. Former beta Jean-Claude of Black Lake Pack. He was in contact with the male, whom we

JOSH POV I watch as this stunning woman, whom I met once before after one of the Super Bowls at a celebration party in Boston, stands tall and not in the least intimidated in front of at least fifty alphas and lunas. Every one of them are focused on her and her group of eleven women. Somehow those women suddenly have chairs which appeared out of thin air, and they sit at the far edge of the room. “Alphas. Lunas. We have a very serious issue. But firstly, before we get into that, I’d like to offer my sincerest apologies to you all for not only failing in my duties to support and protect you and the shifter community as I swore to Diana I would a millennia ago, but one of my own inner circle are the culprit of dubious schemes to bring about the downfall of shifters.” Giselle gives a large bow to the whole of the room in apology and I’m just as shocked as everyone else. This woman is more than likely the most powerful person in this room, and she is showing differ

JOSH POV “Chosen human of prophecy? Wasn’t that Luna Rose?” “She is the royal mother of prophecy. The Womb of Royalty. She was necessary to birth the royal children into existence. Mother Selene chose her for that destiny, just as She has chosen you for this one.” “Why? What the hell is so special about me?” I ask incredulously. The little dude just smiles indulgently at me and doesn’t answer my questions. Of course not because why be straight forward when you can be vague? I want to roll my eyes. “When you find the scepter, you will know who it belongs to. It will speak to you as it’s Beholder. But the power, the royal magic, will not transfer to them unless you and they are touching the scepter together and you give it the link to them. Then the scepter will fully awaken, unlocking all the powers meant for our new leader.” My head is whirling with this new information. I begin to get dizzy and the room starts to tilt and fa
