Excerpt
This is one of my favourite characters in the Josie James
series. We have already met Lady but here Josie gets a little more than she
bargained for.
“But…How…I mean.” Josie stuttered and stammered.
“Don’t worry about that now, I’ll explain later.” Lady
placed her paw on the trunk of a thick Oak tree. “Press the knot in the
tree.” Josie looked at Lady than back at the tree. “Are you sure
you’re the chosen one? It’s just you don’t seem very bright.”
“Well, excuse me if I’m not quite with it.” Josie couldn’t
believe she was getting attitude from a dog. “I’m just in shock that’s
all.”
“Why should you be in shock?” Lady looked at her with an
inquisitive gaze. “It’s not like you haven’t heard one of us before.
“Only Asher and that’s because he’s my protector.” Josie
still found the connection with Asher amazing, how what he said formed in her
head as if he was speaking out loud to her yet his mouth never moved.
“He’s not your protector.” Lady corrected.
“What do you mean he’s not my protector, I connected with
him?” Josie was confused.
“And now you’ve connected with me.” Lady stared at her.
“But you can’t be a protector, you’re not male.” Josie was
trying to remember all the things she’d learned about protectors last
year. Her grandad had said they were always male. “You’ve got blue
eyes.” They always had green eyes, the colour of Suncroft. “And you
haven’t got the mark of Suncroft on your tail.” All protectors had the
mark, it matched the teardrop shape of their elder’s crystal.
“Silly rules, made up by silly men.” Lady started licking
her paws as if bored with the conversation.
“So, are you saying that you’re a protector?” Josie was
trying to work out what Lady was implying.
“And why would I want to be one of them?” Lady’s voice
rose in indignation. “Beholden to a human all the time, no thank you.”
