“Evan, take Josey and the vampire king back to earth. Tell the king that I will keep his sister as he has mine. As long as Josey stays alive and well, Cherisse will live.” I say and Evan nods his head, walking out of the room, followed by Josey.
“You are coming in to your role.” Hunter compliments and I smile but I was a little troubled by Josey’s eagerness to go back with the vampire king.
Just a few hours ago, she was ready to kill him and offer me his head. Now, she wanted him out of the cells and back to his rule.
“Did you guys find it weird that Josey was too happy to go back with Cayden? Is it just me?” I ask and my mother shrugs.
“I birthed leaders. Let Josey rule as queen and protect the werewolves from a vengeful vampire. If Josey sticks by him then he won’t act out against us.” Mother tells me and I shiver just thinking about her with him.
“I hate to say this but I’d rather have that than what is going on in my head. I feel like I’m going to lose Josey to that world and we won’t be able to bring her back.” I say, worry taking over me.
“That’s probably just the big sister in you talking. Your little Josey is out in the world alone..” Mother teases but it was more than that and I knew it.
“I can’t tell you how to feel but if you don’t feel sure about this then do something about it. You are the moon goddess, there is nothing you can’t do.” Hunter says to me and I smile.
I could definitely do something, something that might prove that I was right to be doubtful. I’m just hoping that Josey proves me wrong.
“Anthony!” I call out. If anyone was to help in this case, it was Anthony.
“You called? And also, can you all stop summoning me like this? I don’t do this to any of you.” Anthony says in annoyance.
“I’m sorry. I only do it because father does it.” I say and Anthony’s eye bulge out.
“You said it! She said it, out loud.” Anthony says and I look at him confused.
I look at Hunter and his face looks happy, like he has just completed the world’s hardest obstacle course and came out victorious. His grin was wide and full, a happy man stood in front of me and then it dawned on me.
I had just called Hunter what I only call Christopher.
‘About time.’ Athena says in my head.
Oh boy.
