The War of the Royals - Chapter 190

MADDIE POV I step back several steps to take in a better ‘big picture’ look at our map. Daddy is right. Son of a bitch! How could I have missed that? “How did none of us see this before?” I ask the room in a mainly rhetorical question as I continue to study the map and where the lines Josh drew intersect. Obviously, this is a pattern, but it’s not one that lines up with everything we’ve marked on the map. There are still outliers. “Well, would you ever picture a crown silhouette tipped on its side? That’s what at 30 to 45-degree angle?” Nolan ask dryly and I nod in the affirmative. “I know I wouldn’t look for something like that. Plus we were trying to find an attack pattern or a reason for their attacks. Josh, how did you see this?” “I really don’t know. It just kind of popped out at me as I walked in. Maybe it’s years of looking at coaches drawing out plays for us to study. Some of those made unique shapes helping to develop the name o

The War of the Royals - Chapter 191

MADDIE POV “We knew something was different with you!” Alex exclaims with excitement. “I just figured it was because you had mated with a human. We haven’t seen many of those and none with an Alpha, so we didn’t question it too much. But now I can see that your eyes are Daddy’s in color. I’m not sure why we didn’t spot it sooner. Sorry sis.” “It’s okay. We’ve had other things to worry about; more important than my mating.” I respond. “There’s more, isn’t there? That’s only part of what happened, right?” Nolan says. I notice he’s got his arms crossed over his chest and Chiron is shining brightly out of his serious eyes as they study me and Josh. Chiron has the power of wisdom and part of that power, we have found over the years, is knowing many of the underlying details of situations which aren’t obvious to the rest of us. “No, that’s not all,” I admit. I turn to Josh and he nods giving me the go ahead. “After I chose to switch DNA, Selen

The War of the Royals - Chapter 192

MADDIE POV “When exactly would I have done that, Mads? Almost immediately after I woke up we were at Pine Woods, then here for the attack. I comforted the kids and had to help deal with Jenna’s guilt. Now we need to prepare another funeral and figure out this map shit. Fuck, we haven’t even had dinner yet today. I don’t even know when we’ll have time to go get Oli. Is it even safe for him around us right now? And now I need to go find a royal artifact that will lead me to the scepter so I can fucking find the new shifter leader! You know what? I’m done for today.” I can hear his frustrations and anger coming in. Josh abruptly stands up, sets me in my chair and walks out the conference room door while I just sit frozen looking at his retreating back. “Why don’t we break for the night and meet again in the morning? I think we’ve all hit our max for the day.” Daddy says breaking me out of my shock at the quick turn Josh just showed. Daddy is obviously picking up o

The War of the Royals - Chapter 193

JOSH POV I’ve been awake a while, just lying in our bed with Maddie asleep on my chest. I’m gently running the tips of my fingers up and down her bare back, absorbing the bond tingles from her naked skin and enjoying her warmth. She’s tucked into my side with her leg pulled high and draped over my waist, her arm across my chest and her face tucked into my neck, like she’s embracing me with her whole body in her sleep. She is completely out though; I wore her plumb out, but that was my goal. I woke her multiple times through the night to make love, pouring all my love into her and trying to help ease her grief, not to mention using up all her extra energy so she’d actually sleep. Greta’s death is hitting her harder than I think anyone realizes. Maddie hides her emotions well when others are around, most of the time anyway. Some will think she’s weak if she openly shows them, so she compartmentalizes as much as she can when it’s needed. But she doesn’t

The War of the Royals - Chapter 194

JOSH POV I begin waking Maddie by slowly stroking her skin, a little more forcefully, with more possession than I had been earlier. I run my wide palm down her back, over her ass and down her thigh then back up again, squeezing and caressing her soft flesh in places that I know get her heated. On the third pass, I stop on her meaty ass cheek and grip it before I reach further back and run my finger through her already damp slit. Maddie lets out a little mewling sigh when I come into contact with her clit. She wiggles her hips like she’s chasing my touch, but she still doesn’t wake. I smile to myself a little as I quietly shift her a bit more on top of me, then I slowly lower her onto my already hardened shaft. Her eyes fly open just as I get her fully seated. “Oh… Josh! What a way to wake a girl up.” She purrs just as I begin to pump my hips, pushing myself up into her. “Morning, my love. Just enjoy the feeling while I have my way with y

The War of the Royals - Chapter 195

JOSH POV Maddie and I are standing up and about to head out to Molly’s house, when a big man approaches. I hadn’t seen him here during the two months I spent here, before Maddie and I separated, but I’ve seen him with a little blond woman out and about since I’ve been back. He even visited Maddie in the hospital when she was unconscious, but I was too scared to pay much attention to him. “Alpha Madison, may I have a word with you?” He asks with a little bow. “Luna.” He nods in my direction but focuses back on Maddie pretty quickly. “Marshall. Yes, we have a minute. Plus I wanted to discuss something with you. Come with us to my office.” She replies as she turns and we both follow her to the office. I shut the door when we get there but move beside Maddie once we’re alone. She surprises me though and runs up to give this guy a big hug. He embraces her and lifts her off her feet. I almost get angry until I hear him whisper, “I knew he was

The War of the Royals - Chapter 196

MADDIE POV We enter Molly’s residence without knocking. I can hear Poppy crying inside along with Rocco attempting to settle her and sooth their pup at the same time. We enter the living room and see everyone sitting and waiting on us. “Sorry for the delay everyone. I’d like to introduce our interim beta, Beta Marshall. Now, what do you have for me Poppy?” I ask, ready to deal with whatever this is. She sniffles a few more times and with how red and swollen her face it, I know whatever she’s going to tell us is going to be pretty bad. “I wanted to search through her things to see if we could find a reason why she did this. I couldn’t imagine it is because she was mad she couldn’t hook up with Luna Josh a few months ago. It just didn’t make sense. “Even though she got punished, betraying the pack is too steep of a revenge scheme for something so superficial. Plus she knew he was your mate and deserved her punishment. So Rocco

The War of the Royals - Chapter 197

MADDIE POV “Christy, Molly and Poppy’s mother, went to visit her cousin at her pack. She said her cousin called her and asked for her to visit for an extended period. That was in the pack formerly called Blood Fang. What the journal leaves out is that Blood Fang Pack was led by Alpha Darius Chambers. He was not a good Alpha.” “I know that name. How do I know that name? I’ve heard it somewhere before.” “He is one of the four who hurt Mama as a teen.” I tell him and his face pales. “Rose told me about that. No wonder I recognized the name.” I give Josh a minute to process before I continued. “When Mama and I were kidnapped and Kent took me to Pine Woods when I was 7, Kent had sold Mama to Darius who assaulted Mama just as Daddy came in for rescue. Daddy viscously killed Darius. Darius didn’t have an heir, so the control of the pack went to Daddy. During the pack takeover, Daddy learned of how Blood Fang made its money. They sol

Michelle... where have you been?

Hello all,I realize it's been a while since I updated and I want to fill you in on some goings on in my life.I skipped a week for the holiday because I had family here for a visit. When I have company, all my attention is on them seeing as I no longer live close to my family and visits are rare now. It was an amazing visit with one of my moms and we both very much needed that reconnect time, face-to-face.We are in the height of busy season with my day job and I have been putting in crazy hours. By the time I am done for the day, my brain has zero output for writing. I've tried and I literally just sit and stare at the computer screen. Plus, I have many new responsibilites with work and there has been an overabundance of changes. I have zero shame in admitting, I do not do well with change. I try, I really do. But panic and anxiety attacks have been a new normal while I adjust to these changes. Shockingly, I have not resorted to drinking... go me!I got sick... again. Just a normal c

The War of the Royals - Chapter 198

JOSH POV The rest of our day flies by as we continue with both funeral preparations and trying to figure out the rogues’ movements. I work mainly with Maddox and Oscar to get the funeral planned and organized. It really doesn’t take much. Everyone in the pack has their set tasks and all we’re really able to do is oversee everything and be there to answer questions anyone might have. I tried not to bother Maddie with anything funeral related. Yes, these are her members, and it was her beta who died, but she’s trying to write code with her IT people, setting the bait for the digital trap we want to use. She said, looking at the attempt to break into the pack’s security system, it wasn’t done by a very skilled hacker. They had maneuvered a little, but Maddie’s people are well above those that Reid has working with him. Thank the Goddess. But due to the need to monitor their digital movements, Maddie has given permission for several of our digital securi
