Chapter 2My normal place was beside my parents, but in my spot stood Beta Aiden, which wasn’t unusual. They killed his father in the last rogue attack on our village. He saved me from the king of rogues as he was about to take me. Beta Brendon saved me but was stabbed with a silver blade through the heart as I was finally able to shift and let Athena out. She killed three of the rogues as they escaped. She sat beside Beta Brendon howling as she felt him die, but the thing that always stuck with her was his last words to her.“Josie, honey, you must discover who are you. You are not the weak Omega like everyone has told you. The Lycan King has spies in the pack that are against you. If you don’t get to the Alpha King, they will kill you, honey.” I never told anyone what he said to me, not even Holly. Dad cleared his throat, calling attention to everyone.“Now, as you know, I need to announce my replacement as Alpha. That is why I have called you all here today to be witnesses for the

Jocelyn’s POV “It seems it is that time of day again, princess.” Alpha Than whispered in my ear. I didn’t say a word because if I did, he wouldn’t heal me. Every day for the last five years, eleven months, and twenty-nine days, I was chained to the bedposts and whipped fifteen times on my back and legs. I was then beaten to within an inch of my life. Then he would have his way with me, then he would heal me enough that I could take it all again the next day. This was my life. I was numb to the pain. I didn’t feel anything anymore. I was a lifeless shell that had a heart of stone. Doing everything Derek had told me, and here I was, two days away from leaving this place. I was the only one that had made it this far. I stripped down and went to his bed, where he strapped me in the chains. All I could hear was the crack of the whip and the sound of my skin breaking. After the whips, I couldn’t move he placed me on the bed and fucked me whilst he stabbed me with a silver knife laced with w

Josie’s POV “How can the Alpha King be our mate, Athena? There has to be a mistake. He didn’t react?” I asked her as I paced quickly back to Luna Cleo’s chambers. I needed to talk to her and Alpha Than. “But he is our mate, Josie. He won’t reject us.” She was excited when his scent hit us and after all this time, we had found our mate. But I had told her not to react. “He has a Luna already Athena. He has a chosen mate. They crowned her the Queen of Alphas last year, remember? Alpha Than explained to us those few nights he wasn’t with us. We are too damaged to become a mate, we agreed to this. He has to reject us, so we will speak to him. We can’t make him reject his Luna.” I felt better after getting this out. She knew I was right, there was no pain. I didn’t feel happy or sad when we saw him. My heart is stone cold. No one can melt it. He is better off not knowing anything about me and rejecting me tonight. “Josie, how was it?” Luna Cleo asked me. “Luna, may I speak freely witho

“Now get ready to lose against her wolf, Ethan.” He snickered in my head and cut off the link. Garrett and Jocelyn were both looking at me.“I told you, Ethan, he isn’t as bad as you think he is.” She looked at me and smiled.“Now rules. The lake is northeast of here, around fifteen miles from here. No cheating or biting. Do you agree?” She looked dangerous right now, and I liked it on her. Garrett and I both agreed with her.“Shift.” I said to them both. After the sound of snapping of bones, two wolves stood before me. Farris was Garrett’s wolf who was an easy eight feet. But Jocelyn’s wolf was something else. There was no way she was an omega. Her wolf was taller than his. She was pure white, but the thing that stood out about her was the tips of her fur were violet and her eyes were violet. There were no white wolves left. There hadn’t been one for centuries. Colton whined in my head as he looked at his mate. “Ethan, are you seeing what I am seeing?” He asked me.“Freya.” I couldn

We stared at each other for I don’t know how long. All I wanted was to be in his arms again.“Garrett please. I wasn’t going to reject you.” I sighed, breaking the silence first because Athena kept whining in my head because she wanted our mate with us. He looked at me with a confused look on his face.“Garrett, I opened my heart for the first time in six years to feel something for you, but you walked away and didn’t want me. I don’t know how to feel about you, Garrett? I don’t know what I want? But all I know is you made me feel something that I have never felt before and that was safe in your arms.” I admitted to him. He didn’t know how big it was for me to open up about anything, let alone having feelings for anyone. Tears were threatening to fall from my eyes again. He gently touched my face, causing sparks to go through my body. He lifted my chin, so we were looking into each other eyes.“Josie, when you shook your head at me, I thought you didn’t want me. I am so sorry. It look
