“Hey you.” I heard a voice at the door. It was Isaac, shit I had forgotten that I was meant to go and see him this afternoon.“How is he doing?” Isaac asked me as he walked in and sat on the seat on the opposite side of Garrett.“He is healing well. All vitals are good. I don’t think it will take him as long as it Ethan to heal.” I confided in him. He looked at me, confused.“Sorry, we think that Ethan may have something else in his system, but we don’t know till the test results come back and we are still waiting. The good thing is he is healing, but it is slower than normal. I think we might need Luna to come and sit him for a few hours a day to help him heal.” “Cause mates help each other heal quicker. Is that why you are sitting with Garrett?” “I don’t know what I am meant to do, Isaac? It’s there the mate bond, but you wouldn’t believe how weak it is, and all the times I have come across mates healing each other, they were able to do it without even being marked.” I confessed.
After hours of torturing the man in the cells, we got nothing out of him. He was scared for his life, but no matter what happened to him, he wasn’t able to speak.“We are missing something, Josie? It is like he is bound that he can’t speak any if he wanted to. Athena said to my head as she was pacing back and forth. The man was going to die if they didn’t stop.“Luna, if we keep going, he will die. We need to keep him alive so Alpha can talk to him.” James’s voice dragged me back to the present, but what the Luna did next surprised all of us. She had picked up the knife and slit the man’s throat before anyone reacted. But she didn’t stop at that. She stabbed the man hundreds of times. No one moved to stop her. Isaac placed a hand on her shoulder.“Luna, that’s enough. He is dead.” He whispered to her. She slammed his hand down, slamming the knife through his hand. He screamed in pain, as it wasn’t just a normal knife. Luna hissed at him. Her eyes were dark, like she was possessed. No
“Ever since we got here I have had a weird feeling. I couldn’t feel the mate pull with Ethan, it was like I still had it shut down, but Ethan’s wolf Colton felt it more than any of us. But once he rejected me Garrett the pull to him was instant. Why would the Moon Goddess pair me with someone to have us reject each other and then mate me to his Beta? But the weird thing was Derek when Ethan called Sara he said he knew as soon as he talked to her that she was his mate.”“You can’t just know your mate is your mate by hearing them over the phone the Josie even if they happen to be chosen mates and wear each other’s mark.”“I have a sinking feeling Derek, Ethan and I have stuffed up. He asked me was I sure about the rejection because once it was done he couldn’t undo it.” Derek sighed and cut off the link, all eyes were on us.“Sorry Isaac, think we may have a plan, but I need to know that you are serious about your Alpha and that your not in the plot against him.” Derek smiled at him, Is
Ethan Why could I not wake up? My mind was working, but my body wasn’t. Lycans had attacked us. I went down hard and that was all I remember. I wonder if I was dead, but then I heard her voice. Why was she saying goodbye to me? Why was she leaving? My Luna, what the hell has she done?“We are in a coma, Ethan.” Colton’s voice rung in my ears, but he sounded weak.“Colton, are you ok buddy?”“We barely made it, Ethan. The Lycan's talons poisoned us, but she saved us. She really saved us.” He sighed. “Where is Sara? She should be here healing us. She is our mate.”“I don’t know Ethan. Ever since Jocelyn has come into our lives, I am so confused. Why would she leave us, though? Something is wrong. We need to wake up soon, before it’s too late.” He warned me. “I know buddy, I know.”Josie POVIt had been two weeks since we had left the pack, and now tomorrow we were leaving. I didn’t know if we would return, but I felt heavy in my body like I wasn’t meant to be leaving, but we had to. L
Garrett’s POV My head was hurting, throbbing actually, like someone had knocked me out for a long time. “Alpha, they hurt him, remember?” “Why do you sound weak, Farris?” My body was beginning to move, my eyes fluttered open, but fuck it was so bright the lights they hurt my eyes. Closing them again, I waited a few minutes until I thought I could handle it again. Slowly, my eyes adjusted. Fucking heightened senses sucked ass sometimes. Looking around the room, I was in the hospital, which was good, but they hooked me up to machines, so I couldn’t move that much. “Where is mate?” Farris asked me. “Not sure buddy, but we will find her.” I promised him there was someone in the room with me and it took me a few seconds to realize who it was by their scent. Why the hell was she here? If she was here, goddess knows what she has told Josie. Her eyes locked with mine and she squealed excitedly. “Boo boo bear, you're awake.” She basically jumped on me, causing pain all through my body.
Garrett’s POV She was still gorgeous, and she gave me that same smirk she did the day she rejected me. “So it seems you didn’t except my rejection Beta Garrett, which I am thankful for. Because my chosen mate Alpha Aiden is weak, goddess, he is weak.” “’Why are you here, Alexis? The four of you should be in the cells.” “Beta Garrett, that is no way to talk to our guests.” Luna Sara clicked her tongue at me. “Luna, you weren’t there. I am sorry but I am finding it hard to believe that you can just sit there and let them walk around while our Alpha and your mate is laying in the hospital…” “Beta Garrett, sit the fuck down. Listen.” Luna cut me off. “Alexis, tell him what you told us.” She gestured for Alexis to go ahead. “Jocelyn at first was accepted into our pack, but the older she got, the more we all noticed that there was something different about her. She became nasty and resentful. She bullied me. Yes, she was stronger than me and she made sure it was known to everyone.
Chapter 22Two figures stood outside my door. They looked in when they heard me move. Thank the goddess, it was Lucas and Nate. These two were the only ones that Isaac trusted with no doubt to guard me. “Boss, thank goddess you're awake.” Nate linked me, they went to stand back at the door.“How long have I been out? And I am guessing whatever is happening is bad if you two are here?” “Yeah boss, Josie saved your life, but she is gone now.” The sadness in his voice was obvious even to me, but I was filled with just as much sadness, if not more.“Sorry, boss, but you have been out for a month.” A fucking month, that was too long. “Can you get William and Isaac here? I don’t want anyone else to know I am awake.” I ordered Nate. My head was spinning. An entire month, we were asleep. How was that even possible? I know it almost killed me. I felt the Lycans talon rip through my chest, the silver made me pass out, the pain was incredible, but even that was nothing compared to the pain y
I needed a drink, and a strong one at that. If I remembered correctly, there was a pub down on the other side of town, so that’s where I decided to take everyone, because we needed to come up with a plan. Isaac went and brought a burner phone. He dialed a number and waited for the person to answer. We ordered food and drinks and just waited. After no one picked up, I took the phone and called the hotel. It turns out that Jocelyn had hired out the penthouse and paid the fees for six months. My name was on the guest list, so we could go straight there.“It seems our Josie had planned this out well. We can go up whenever we like.” I told them no one had said a word since we got here.“We need to get your families to safety.” I told them.“They already are Alpha. We got them all out last night. They have gone to Night Shade. Alpha Eden agreed to take them. He has also agreed to help us when we take the kingdom back.” Mark told me. Well now, I am glad that we were on good terms with Alpha
