Chapter 73

  Josie POV

  They thought they beat me, that this was the end and all their problems were solved, but little did they know I was exactly where I needed to be. This is precisely what I intended. I fooled them all, Mitchell so severely wanting to redeem himself, I knew he would toss me to them. I knew his loyalty lay with Lucy, and he was only a willing participant in Jamie's plans out of fear for his mate.

  I knew nothing would become between him and Lucy once he found out what Jamie had planned; not even his mate would make him cross her. Their friendship is built on love and respect for each other and a deep understanding. Yet I managed to fool him, fool the King, fool everyone.

  "Not long now, my love, and you will be back with me where you belong," I smile, thinking of my mate. We would soon be together and free. This was the only way, and I didn't care what I needed to do to get my mate back.
