Josie Stronghold Novels & Stories

She wanted to check in on Brittany and make sure she was comfortable or see if she needed rescuing. “Hi,” Josie said, donning a bright smile as she greeted Kai. “I wanted to let Brittany know that we’re going to one of the boxes. Didn’t want her looking for us.” Kai’s arm slid around Brittany’s waist, anchoring her to him. Okay then, it would seem the man moved fast. He smiled, and it was a gentle, warm smile, but Josie did not miss the strength in those eyes. This was a powerful, intimidating man. She glanced at Brittany to gauge her reaction.

Josephine POV. It's been over a week since I last spoke to my love Max Berkeley, the heist we had planned together didn't work out. I really wished it had worked as planned, I am but a shadow of my own self, the prison I call a mansion stands to remind me of my Sacrifice…a sacrifice I made to save a father, a decision I made with unwavering commitment and love. Looking at my phone, I could see recent uploads of Max Berkeley on Snapchat.

In the chaos, no one had been left to protect the family estate or Jodie. Xena had put Jodie to sleep before leaving the house, not knowing that shortly after, Joseph’s men had stormed in and taken her. Joseph had brought mercenaries from Atlantis to Jersey City—professionals who had been through years of specialized military training. The guards at the villa didn’t stand a chance. Joseph turned to Charlotte and Sean, smiling as he gestured to Jodie. “What do you think would happen if I tossed her off this floor? How much of her would be left?”

Wilbur stood there in a daze and said, "It's strange. This place is no longer within Vicente Primeval Forest. How can Josie come and go freely?" Aqua Dragon explained, "This is a special feature of the suppression formation. Because the lake's formation is connected to the suppression formation, Josie can come and go freely." "I see."

Josie was a private individual who fought to keep her thoughts to herself. She was starting to open up and I would take whatever she would give me. Distracted, Josie landed a punch toppling me on my ass. She was smiling, “You should keep your head in the game,” she teases me, holding a hand to help me up. Taking her hand, I pull her down on top of me, breaking her fall, before I roll us over, so I am sitting up straddling her body.

He stood, walked to the corner, and answered. A frantic sob broke through Ruby's voice. "M-Mr. Shore, Josie's been abducted! They said she was sold to Malthor. Can you help me find her? I'm scared something will happen to her…" Isaac's pupils contracted. He glanced instinctively at his mother on the bed, then stepped out onto the balcony.

“I understand you sold your daughter to try and get rid of your mate. Thinking that she would leave you to go in search of her. Tell me who bought young Felan?” “Thank you for freeing me from those cells, but if I tell you what is in it for me?” Josiah said. Mack silently pleaded to the moon goddess to not allow him to say another word, when Josie walked in and nodded to Adelaide. “If you tell me what I know or I will have my wolves drag you back to the cells only this time you will not be alone down there.” She says motioning for someone to come to her with her hand.

"The Council fortress is three hundred miles north. Fifty guards minimum, all ex-military. They'll have silver weapons, suppressant drugs, everything designed to neutralize divine vessels." "Good thing I'm not just a divine vessel." Jolie's eyes glow bright. "I'm also really good at breaking things." My radio crackles. "Boss, we've got major movement. All four positions are mobilizing." "Copy that. We're coming out." I look at Gio. "You're with us." "They'll kill me." He states it flatly. "Then help us end this." Jolie heads for the door. "Either the Council wins and kills Father, or we win and you get a chance to actually earn back some dignity, your choice."

My own situation, however, was rapidly deteriorating. The two guards had me pinned down, their grips unyielding and merciless. Josie’s cold voice cut through the tension. “Follow me, boys. And bring that bitch along with you. You guys can have some fun with her,” she ordered. Her laugh was sharp and mocking. A chill ran down my spine. I struggled to escape. But my efforts were futile against their brute strength. My heart pounded in my chest. With a final, contemptuous glance in my direction, Josie turned and strode away. Her heels clicked sharply on the marble floor.

I doubt you'll even have the money for your coffins. The trio delivered their blows one after another, taking apart the behemoth that was the Sonnenfelds and leaving nothing behind. Josie, who'd been brimming with bravado and arrogance a moment ago, was now held firmly between special forces operatives. She stared at the mess on the ground and finally realized she'd picked a losing fight with a monster. "You're a demon, Laura! You'll never get away with this!" Josie shrieked like a madwoman, her bloodshot eyes fixed on me. "You think you won? You think you can climb all over me just because you sold your body to win over these men?
