“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
[Rosco’s POV]I sit alone, staring at my hands, while passing doctors and nurses give me looks of pity. It pisses me off that they’re looking at me this way, but even I knew that I looked like a fucking wreck. I wore hospital scrubs since my clothes were lost when I shifted, and my hands and arms st
Remaining silent, I untangle myself from my mother and prepare to step out. I needed to call Charlie anyway to see if he had found anything, but before I can move, the light above the operating room changes, and Denali is being wheeled out.Eyes widening, I rush to her side and take in her face, whi
[Denali’s POV]“Alright, this way.” Rosco’s voice is right beside my ear, and it sends pleasant tingles through me, but before I can get lost in them, I stumble. “Careful.”“Tell me why I need to be blindfolded again." I sigh, slowly navigating my way downstairs with his help.I understood that it w
At his words, I intentionally take him deeper, causing myself to gag, but since he went through so much trouble for this surprise, I wanted to show my full appreciation. Catching onto my intent, he lets out a growl and then holds my head in place so that he can take control.“You want to test your l
[Denali’s POV]“Denali.”The warm voice that I haven’t heard in years mixes with a warm, gentle touch on my cheek. Was this a dream? It had to be because she had been dead for years.“Denali, sweetheart.”My heart squeezes with longing as I slowly open my eyes and find that she is hovering over me.
[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
