Jen Royce Novels & Stories

"There was a surgery scheduled for 2 o'clock this afternoon. Currently, I am reviewing the consultation report. Is there any instruction?" "Could you help me with a paternity test?" Brodie's voice was heavy, "What, Russell has an illegitimate child outside?" Zoey: "..." "Zoey, if he apologized to you, you immediately kicked him!" Zoey reluctantly raised her hand to her forehead and said, "No, I suspect that Royce has a child outside." Brodie laughed and said, "Royce is a monk, him having children is simply a fairy tale."

Mark had needed his sister and I had stayed for two weeks until I was absolutely sure he would be okay. I sat on the couch, stretched my legs out on the coffee table, and called Royce wondering if it really was a big deal or if maybe he was just looking for someone to talk to. Royce and I had met at an NA meeting when I had first moved to Chicago. Like me Royce had been clean only about a year and was also trying to get his career going again. I truly believe it was fate that had put us together. Royce is ten years older than me and had been an art dealer of no small reputation until his habits over took him and he had a fall from grace.

I answered quietly, lowering my head. This time it was I who didn't dare look into the eyes of the person who was talking to me, because now Royce looked very angry. The feeling of wanting to be bullied disappeared in an instant. “Hahhh…” Royce sighed, “you are a princess… who will continue the throne of the Gibson family. Rumi ... you know yourself, that the daughter of the mother's family, you are the only one left. Once Reyna is really gone, we know when she'll be back. We also know what will happen to him later."

The medicine and therapy our doctors have him doing are helping him slowly recover, but he still has to take it easy. We ate and celebrated Ricky's birthday in peace, and let me tell you... if Hunter said something to upset Leah and make her cave herself in her room, I would be forever in debt to him, because I have not seen her all night. I need to remind myself to thank him later because the last I needed was to deal with her drama tonight. Everyone has been enjoying themselves drama-free.

Alpha Reed looked to be in his early 30s and he had short brown hair, dark eyes that were almost black and he had a few scars on his bulging arms, which pulled against his tight white tee as he crossed his arms behind his desk. He had a few personal photos in his office of a young woman. He raised a cut eyebrow at me and waved his hand to indicate for me to begin. "Well the letter has some inaccuracies, but there are some correct aspects such as I was a breeder and my mother still is a breeder, but I am a born shifter. When I was sent to the market, Timothy bought me and it turned out that he is my mate. Timothu burned off my breeder mark and marked me as his mate."

The person who had attacked Ashton a moment ago shifted back to his human form and shouted at Ashton. When Leonard saw who he was, he was not surprised. "You have gone against our values and attacked our alpha, the crime that you have committed requires you to face execution at the first light, right in front of the whole pack," Kevin shouted at the top of his lungs. Although he was talking, he seemed to be sending out signals. The wounds on Kelly had already healed and his subordinates had already brought him clothes. Ashton was still healing because his super healing abilities came from his wolf who was still under the effect of the wolfbane.

“Now I have your attention. You hit-” “Do you have any idea how much that phone costs?” he says with a deep voice, his eyes finally meeting mine. Immediately, the realization hits me and a sudden chill overwhelms me. I can’t even say a word. His dark eyes give me a piercing look and then turn to the side. “Boy, are you hurt?” he asks, crossing his hands over his chest. Derek comes to me and mumbles, “No.” “Good for you. You’re lucky I stepped on the brake when I did. If you don’t know how to cross the bloody street, don’t fucking cross at all!”

Before I could embarrass myself any further, a nurse hurried toward us, carrying a document with a bright smile. “Miss Annie, here are your discharge forms,” she said with a warm smile. “And… thank you again for helping Her Majesty. The royal family is truly grateful.” Stephen’s head whipped toward me. “You’re the one who donated blood?” he asked, his voice full of genuine disbelief and admiration. I nodded shyly. “I… um… yes.” His expression softened instantly, something warm and grateful settling in his eyes. “Thank you,” he said, stepping closer. “You helped save our queen. My family owes you more than you know.”

The man was doing his best to win her over, and though I knew that things were still fresh between her and her ex, I could tell that she was still leaning toward the idea of being with Kai. Elijah didn’t seem to like it though, and I knew that he wanted to do a lot about it. The one thing that was stopping him was Dean, but knowing the man, I could tell that things could easily get heated over the slightest mistake, and that wasn’t something that any of us wanted to deal with. “Where is Ray?” I asked, shaking my head. The number of times that she decided that the name was ‘just right’ for her kid were countless. And I knew her reasons.
