[Denali’s POV] I stare down at the ingredients in front of me. Since Rosco left for work that morning, I was pouring my heart and soul into this dinner. Due to Nadia’s sudden arrival, I didn’t get to cook for him, so I was going to make up for it tonight by planning the perfect evening and then giv
“Dessert?” Rosco repeats, raising a brow. “Does it have anything to do with the way you’re dressed?” “Maybe,” I respond, feeling my core twitch in anticipation. “But you have to finish with dinner first.” At my words, Rosco quickly finishes off his second portion of stew. When he finishes, he push
[Rosco’s POV]I shove deep into Denali while she claws at my skin. Dammit, this woman was going to be the death of me. She could act so insecure and innocent one minute and so fucking seductive the next. I was sure she had no idea just what she did to me every time she asked me to do things to her.
“Thank you,” she giggles when I pull out.“Are you really thanking me for using you as I please?” I ask, leaning back on my knees. “Did you like it that much?”“I may have,” she admits, giving a shy smile.“Fucking dammit,” I snarl, leaping forward and pinning her beneath me. “Do you know how fuckin
[Nadia’s POV]I storm to my car, and once I’m inside, I punch the steering wheel again and again until my knuckles begin to drip with blood and pain races up my arms in an attempt to calm me from the fiery rage that has taken over.“That bitch!” I growl, remembering the way Rosco’s precious wife act
“And what exactly do you want me to find out about her?” Byron sighs, running a hand through his hair. “Dirty laundry? Background? Weaknesses?”“All of the above,” I beam. “Anything that will ruin that bitch.”Nodding, Byron turns and heads into his office, and once he is seated, I wrap my arms arou
[Nadia’s POV]I sip on my mojito while keeping my gaze fixed on the entrance of the cafe that I sit in until the glass doors open and the person I was here to see enters. As she does, she begins to take in the area until her gaze comes to rest on me.Lifting a hand, I motion her forward, then lean b
[Rosco’s POV]I pull in front of the venue where our company dinner would be held and take it in. Oh, how I didn’t want to fucking be here while Denali was at home waiting for me. However, because she insisted that I attend, I was here.Sighing, I climb out and throw my keys at valet parking before
[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
