Her Redemption. His Second Chance. Her Facade
[William’s POV]I lean against the wall, watching while Uncle Hamilton fusses over Aunt Naomi. Since we arrived, she has remained unconscious, but her vitals were good and strong, so she could wake up at any time.Tearing my gaze away from them, I take in Elise’s unmoving form and feel something in me stir. As much as I want to ask what happened to her, I know that I can’t, not when Uncle Hamilton was here. If I were to show the slightest bit of interest in her, he would become suspicious, and that wouldn’t bode well.Sighing, I kick off of my spot and prepare to move, but stop as Rosco walks in with a murderous look on his face.“Well?” Uncle Hamilton asks, turning from Aunt Naomi. “Did you manage to find the ones responsible for this?”“I…” Rosco begins, his expression turning pained. “They got away.”“Got away!” Uncle Hamilton booms, his voice echoing off the walls around us. “How could you let something like that happen?”“They were prepared for us.” Rosco responds. “If all you’re
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. Put Up A Wall
[Elise’s POV]Shock rolls through me as my head presses against William’s firm chest and the sound of his heartbeat invades my ears. What was this? What was he doing?As these thoughts appear, his strong hand comes to rest on my back and begins to rub gentle circles. The action is both soothing and unsettling. And before I can stop myself, I’m jumping up.“What are you doing?” I ask, scooching away from him. “Who said you could touch me?”I wait as William takes me in as if I’m some strange creature, and when he opens his mouth to speak, I hold up a hand to stop him.“Nevermind,” I sigh, realizing that it was just a split second reaction to me crying. “I’m sorry. Can you pretend none of this happened?”Shit. Was I still feeling weak, and that was the reason I said too much? And in front of Rosco’s cousin, no less. Wasn’t it bad enough that Rosco considered me to be the enemy and unworthy of respect? Now I was sitting here, acting weak.Ugh. I fucked up.“Does it unnerve you that much
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. His Reason
[Denali’s POV]I sit alone, listening to the sounds of movements outside of my door while cradling Serenity against me. Even though I wanted to get up and help with dealing with the funerals for those who were killed by my father’s evil scheme, I knew that I was still much too weak, especially after I used the alpha command.Sighing, I try to ignore the feeling of uselessness that is building in me. I was supposed to be a strong luna that stood beside her alpha, but I was weak. I couldn’t even properly fight if things came down to that.“Dammit.”For now, the best I could do was be here for Rosco as emotional support. I could only hope that would be enough. I could also handle things around the packhouse if it came down to Rosco having to go somewhere to deal with the danger that was beginning to appear around us.“Right,” I say, my determination growing. “That is exactly what I can do.”Pushing aside my feelings of inferiority, I get up and gently place Serenity in her crib. As I str
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. An Offer At Peace
[Rosco’s POV]“She’s being protected just fine.”The words are out of my mouth before I can stop, and as I reach my father, a look of amusement crosses his features.“Not well enough.”That is all he says before he begins to move, making his way out of the room and back down the hall where my mother rests. I am sure that he is going to have her moved from here to Crystal Fang, and nothing I said or did would stop him.“Rosco,” Denali says softly, getting up and making her way toward me. “You really should try to mend your relationship with your dad.”As she speaks, she snakes her arms around me and buries her head in my chest. Where our bodies mesh, I can feel the warm thrums of energy from our bond, and as much as I want to argue what she just said, I remain quiet.“He was the one who made the decision to disown me.”“And you,” she counters, lifting her blue gaze to mine. “Are the one who decided to go along with it instead of trying to come up with a compromise.”Once again, I find
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. The Truth Of His Threat
[Rosco’s POV]My father doesn’t speak as he examines me carefully. It’s almost like he is wondering if I knew the answer and just wanted to hear it from his mouth.“Are you really asking me that?” He finally says, relaxing in his seat. “Isn’t it obvious?”“Obvious how?” I demand. “You threatened to end the life of a random woman due to your son's fascination; how is that even normal?”“You were an alpha heir.” He points out. “Once Serenity gets older and prepares to take over Emerald Moon, you will understand.”“Like hell, I will!” I growl.“As heirs, there is no room for normal relationships.” My father snaps before I can begin to go off on him. “If you want to leave your pack with a strong heir, you must be with someone who stands on equal ground.”“Denali did!” I argue.“Were you even aware of her lineage at that time?”Opening my mouth, I prepare to argue, but he had me here. Of course, I didn’t know who she was or where she came from during that time. All I knew was that she was
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. A Price
[William’s POV]I sit quietly, watching Aunt Naomi sleep peacefully. After waiting for Elise to leave, I came back into this room to keep an eye on her until my uncle returned. Once I was sure that she had protection, I would head to mine and Elise’s meeting spot.Sighing, I let Charlie’s words begin to appear in my mind once more.Don’t trust wolves in sheep's clothing.You’re nothing more than a pawn.What exactly was he trying to get at with this? And who the hell was he even referring to? Was this a warning about my uncle, or was it someone else? I didn’t know, but that was why I recruited Elise to help me get to the bottom of it. She alone was the only person I knew who didn’t have any particular bias.‘And what if she betrays us?’ Rue asks.‘Who would believe a criminal over a future alpha?’This was another reason Elise was the perfect option for all of this. As a criminal, her credentials were too low to be believed over someone who made a name for themselves. I knew that I wa
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. Take Control
[William’s POV]Make it worth her while. The words are almost laughable coming from Elise. Who was she to even name a price when she really had no other choice?“If you aren’t willing, then I will…”“What makes you think you’re in a position to say that?”Maybe I was being rude, but I needed to keep a fine line between us and let her know that she was nothing more than my partner in crime as I dug up the conspiracy taking place in Crystal Fang.For a moment, Elise doesn’t speak as her bright eyes take me in, and when her gaze narrows, I know that I’ve hit a nerve.“I could just spill what you’re up to.” She points out. “I don’t work for free.”“Go ahead.” I chuckle. “Do you really think that my uncle or packmates would believe a known criminal over their future alpha?”At my words, Elise’s eyes flash with anger, and I can feel her aura beginning to radiate from her. I had to admit, it was strong. It was much stronger than I expected, but it wasn’t enough to make me bend.“Did you just
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. A Step Too Far
[Elise’s POV]I stare into William’s dark eyes while my insides begin to churn, but I can’t seem to stop the sudden need to feel him against me. I knew that this was dangerous and I shouldn’t be making any moves, but he started it, right?Leaning forward, I let my hands snake into his hair. It’s soft to the touch, and as my fingers begin to move, a groan of pleasure escapes William’s lips.“Are you too afraid?” I murmur when he continues to not move. “You try to pretend that you are this dominant man, but you’re really a gentleman deep down, right? Look at you; you’ve got me trapped here, and I’m actually giving you the go-ahead, but you aren’t moving.”Although I could easily close the distance between us while he remained there dumbfounded, I knew that taking that step would be dangerous.“I thought so,” I sigh, beginning to release him. “Despite all that swagger, you aren’t actually the assertive type.”Feeling disappointment rush through me, I let my hands drop to my sides, but be
