The War of the Royals: The Alpha's Rose Conclusion のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

MADDIE POV I see Oli limping again when they get up to leave and he’s making a pained face, so I link over to Mrs. Taylor. *He looks like he’s in pain. Can you carry him the rest of the way? And make him an appointment to have his prosthetic adjusted?* *Yes. Of course, Alpha.* I see her pick Oli up and they leave the packhouse. “You’re terrific with him.” Josh says to me as we begin ascending the stairs to my quarters. Mama and Daddy right behind us, Mama being carried in Daddy’s beheamuth arms. “But I think I have some incredibly cute competition to win your affections.” “Yeah, he’s that way with Greta’s oldest daughter too. I wish he was that way with Mrs. Taylor, but he’s not. And he hasn’t bonded with any of the families we’ve tried out for him. But don’t worry Josh, you get all my affections.” I tell him with a wink. “What happened to him?” “Rogues. About a year ago. It was the first of many attacks this year.

JOSH POV “Kent had the idea that any pup born from me and another alpha would be a powerful alpha heir. Which in turn would, essentially, free these alphas from taking a mate they didn’t want and at the same time, give them and their pack a future heir.” “I have no idea if Kent would have been correct about his assumption of any pups I birthed to other alphas who weren’t Tyson would have been super powerful. His theory was never tested, thank the Goddess.” Rose’s expression changes from relaxed into one of sly devilishness. I’m not sure what she is remembering, but she doesn’t explain it. “Tyson rescued me before anything more traumatic could happen. Plus another Alpha couldn’t have gotten me pregnant, I was already pregnant with Nolan. The first of our royal children.” Ah… so Nolan is Maddie’s brother. She never explained that earlier. Well, I guess I distracted her with kissing before she could explain… no regrets on my end. Maddie is a terrific ki

MADDIE POV I close the door to my suite and have to pause for a moment. Calming down after that intense moment with Josh is incredibly hard to do. Infinity is pushing me to forgo our meeting; to go back inside and finish ravishing our mate. But the pack comes first, dammit! Hopefully though, this will ensure I can spend more time with Josh, and we can finally complete our mating, even if Fin and I don’t get to mark him. When I walk into my office, Daddy, Uncle Thomas and Uncle Adam are waiting for me. Both Thomas and Adam have a knowing smirk on their faces while Daddy just beams with pride at me. “Thank you for coming.” I address them as I sit behind my desk. “I’m not sure how to ask, so I’m just gonna say it. Would you all be willing to stay and handle my CEO responsibilities while Josh and I get to know each other? You’ll still have Greta, Maddox and Bruno, of course, so I’m not asking you to run the pack. They can handle most everything, but if a

JOSH POV This is quite the experience. I’ve never witnessed something of this magnitude before. Yes, I’ve been to funerals, but I’ve never seen one as big as this. Not only is it a large crowd, but everyone is walking to the funeral site. All the funerals I’ve attended in my life, everyone drove to the cemetery. And they were usually in the morning or early afternoon, not at night. It is pitch black out here. All I can see are our candles and the faces of the people nearest to me illuminated by their own candle’s tiny flame. But far in the distance, I can see larger flames lighting up the night. I’m just thankful that Maddie has a hold of my hand, or I wouldn’t be able to find my way. As we get closer, I realize the flames I saw are torches. Fires blaze at the top of long wooden poles that are standing tall from being secured in stone holes. The stone in which these holes are carved stands high above our heads. It looks to be at least ten foot tall a

MADDIE POV “We can get into MI a little more later on. Right now though, I want to fill you in on something that happened at the funeral stone tonight. The reason I kissed you and thanked you after the howling.” I say as I come out from behind my desk and sit on my sofa. I pat the cushion next to me, inviting Josh to sit with me. Josh sits beside me and takes my free hand, “You know, I was curious about that.” He says as he leans over and gives me a little kiss. “However, whatever the reason may be, I’ll never deny you a kiss, Maddie.” I know I begin to blush. I don’t know why either. “Well umm,” I have to clear my throat, giving me a moment to get my hormones back under control. A simple peck brings my desire for Josh roaring right back to the surface. Unfortunately, this isn’t the time, but it’s coming. Fin begins wagging her tail and purring a bit at the thought of finally having our mate. “I haven’t fully explained the Luna position t
