The Beast And The Blessed

Epilogue: Joselin

Joselin's P.O.V.

Traveling to a place where everyone let their ignorance run their fear was genius. I used to think one had to be a special kind of stupid to let that happen.

Yet, as I sat back on the lounge chair on a deserted beach oasis in the human town, I enjoyed every second of it.

Every time someone was brave enough to join us, I simply turned to them and flashed my innocent, pearly white eyes, and they spooked like a horse seeing a snake.

It helped that my blindingly pale skin had my signature runes and knots vibrating away. I knew I looked like something from a horror movie, but Goddess, it was good.

It wasn't even a human-only resort. Creatures of all kinds would vacation here, but they still ran from me.

They knew who I was. The look on their face when they realized I was among them, was so worth it. It practically screamed that their asshole just puckered with fear, and then they booked it back into the resort, packed their shit, and rushed home to be as far away from me as possible.

If seeing me didn't work, the giant Lycan walking toward me out of the water did the trick.

A few humans had ventured down the beach from the other hotels and stared at him longer than I had liked as his swim trunks hung low on his hips. At first, he enjoyed seeing me jealous. But when I stood up and charged toward them, he started shifting into his Lycan form, and they ran.

We were a good team and a terrifying combination. The only people who had the nerve to approach us were the staff, but it wasn't to ask us to leave since we were disrupting their business. No. They were waiting on us hand and foot to keep up happy. Only one had been so terrified that they peed themselves and were immediately sent home.

We had been here for two weeks, and I was in no rush to leave. After everything we had dealt with over the past year, we had earned this vacation, and I would enjoy every last second of it.

The sound of glass rattling gave away the human as soon as he stepped out onto the sandy beach and made his way to us from the resort.

It was no wonder the humans lost the Great War so easily, I could hear him coming a mile away, and I didn't have super hearing like Tobias did. Killian had tried to convince me to bring our own staff from the castle, who knew would ensure our food wasn't tampered with, but I wanted to get away from everyone and everything for a while.
