[Rosco’s POV] I keep my gaze fixed on my new wife as she begins to enter the room, but when her large eyes come to rest on mine, a look of both embarrassment and shock crosses them. Good; at least she had a sense of shame. Was she playing maid earlier to scope me out, or was she attempting to gain
[Rosco's POV] I stare down at Denali, waiting as she looks from me to my crotch, which is at eye level with her. From her actions, I know she knows exactly what it is that I want her to do, but she doesn't move. Was this some sort of joke on her part? Did she truly think I would believe a thing she
[Rosco’s POV]“I am.”Denali’s words are strong and clear, despite the tears that are brimming in her eyes. And despite the quiver of her lip, her gaze holds steady, and the hatred there is like a knife to the heart.No, I couldn't let her continue to fool me. This was all a fucking trick, and I wou
[Denali's POV] I look from Rosco to his father and back while any sense of hope that things would become better recedes. "Don't worry," I continue, forcing a smile. "I won't cause trouble and will leave quietly." It pained me to say this, knowing what was on the line, but I was humiliated, insult
[Rosco’s POV] I wait as Denali considers what I have just asked her. I didn’t know for sure if she would be honest, but I would be damned if I let her leave before she did. I didn’t know what that bastard Roger was thinking by not only keeping one daughter hidden from the world but also sending her
[Denali’s POV] “Break her? I repeat, raising a brow. “Do you and Anastasia have a past?” In a way, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. She got around, and there weren’t many wolves that she didn’t fuck, but if it was something like that, wouldn’t he prefer to have married her? “Don’t think too h
[Rosco’s POV]I step out of the shower to find Denali sitting on the edge of the bed, looking uncomfortable. I had to admit that it was kind of cute. Honestly, all of her expressions were adorable, and that was why I couldn’t stop the need I felt to pick on her.After coming to an agreement at the b
[Denali’s POV] I take a few calming breaths while I examine my reflection in the steamy mirror. It was official; Rosco was dangerous. Despite swearing I would never allow another man into my heart, I couldn't help but get swept up in his energy, and before I realize it, I'm wanting to believe that
[Elise’s POV]I stare at the goddess while she waits for me to decide what my next path will be. Of course, remaining here where there was no more suffering or pain was ideal, but I couldn’t just leave Serenity and those who I cared for back on earth to fend for themselves. However, even if I went b
In this moment, I’m absolutely certain that this is, in fact, the afterlife, but I’m a little confused. Why was I here in Nirvana when I truly belonged in hell, suffering for all of my misdeeds?“Because I have summoned you here.”Gasping, I jump up and whirl around, searching for the one who has sp
[Rosco’s POV]I wrap my arm around Denali and pull her against me as she stares at her father’s unmoving form. Where we touch, I can feel all of her emotions and know that what she did couldn’t have been easy but was necessary.“He got what was coming to him.” I murmur, kissing her cheek. “Don’t thi
[William’s POV]The next day, I stand between Jose and Charlie while members of Rosco’s pack work to prepare pallets for Elise and Uncle Hamilton. Once they’re in place, Rosco comes forward with a torch in hand. He doesn’t speak as he begins to set the pallets ablaze.As Elise’s body goes up in flam
[Rosco’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Charlie as he looks from me to William, who keeps his back to us. Despite my words, I can tell he wants to stop William, but this is a sensitive matter.“Fine.” Charlie finally sighs, deflating. “Go,” he continues to say to William. “Go to that hospital and caus
[Rosco’s POV]“I told you I was fine!” I hiss as Maria and Olga fight to keep me in bed. Many hours had already passed since Elise, Charlie, and Jose went to save William and retrieve my father, and despite the time, no one had contacted me yet. “I can’t just sit here while my people could be in dan
“Elise,” I snarl, keeping my gaze fixed on the spot where she just was. “I HAVE TO GET ELISE!”At my words, looks of pain cross Charlie and Jose’s faces, confirming my worst fear.“Don’t make her sacrifice be in vain.” Charlie says slowly. “If you stay here and get crushed, then what she did would b
[William’s POV]I look around, trying to figure out what the source of the sudden rumble is, and I quickly get my answer as a loud boom sounds and the roof above our heads disappears.“Shit!” Charlie hisses, beginning to move. “These bastards really are fucking crazy.”Crazy was an understatement. W
As this thought hits me, I see her standing there with a look of approval on her beautiful face. Smiling, she nods and looks toward the heavens.‘I’m sorry,’ I whisper internally, but she simply shakes her head, and as her mouth moves, I feel the weight that I’ve carried for so long begin to slowly
