Her Redemption. His Second Chance. His Involvement
[Elise’s POV]I rush forward while Rosco’s inaudible yells drift past me. As I move, I can hear a commotion taking place right where I’m heading, and by the time I reach them, I find them—three men working to break the lock of my piece-of-shit father’s cell.“No, you don’t!” I growl, peeling off my clothes so I can shift.At my words, two of the men turn and pull knives from their sides while their buddy continues what he is doing.‘So they’re human.’ Anna huffs in amusement. ‘They should be easy to take care of.’‘Don’t underestimate the enemy.’ I counter, knowing damn well that even though they could just be humans skilled in sword fighting, they could also possess some other abilities or have some tricks up their sleeves.Baring my teeth, I let a snarl rip through me before I’m moving forward, testing my theory.Letting out a yell, the two men move as one, swinging their weapons at me. However, before they can hit me, I leap backwards.‘So they’re quick.’ I murmur inwardly. ‘Well,
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. An Interrupted Meeting
[William’s POV]I sit quietly, watching the man in front of me as he takes a sip of coffee. Since my arrival, he has remained silent, and I can’t help but wonder if he is suspicious of something. If he was, that would be problematic for my purpose.When I woke up this morning, I fully intended to have a meeting with my uncle in order to feel him out over what Charlie warned me about. Who knew that the man himself would summon me first thing? Was this fate intervening, or was it something more?“How is your training going?” He finally asks, fixing his dark eyes on mine. “I know that it is a lot to take in in such a short amount of time, but everything you must learn is imperative to taking over Crystal Fang.”“They’re going well.” I respond, knowing that he didn’t go through the trouble of bringing me here just for that. “Father says that I am almost ready to start shadowing you.”Nodding, Uncle Hamilton takes in my words. Despite his best attempt at trying to be nonchalant, it is clea
Her Redemption. His Second Chance. A Deadend
[Rosco’s POV]“WHAT?” I roar, rage rushing through. “How the hell can that be possible? Where the fuck were the guards when this was happening?”“About that…” Warren responds, his unease clear on his face.“Nevermind, I don’t even need you to answer. Fuck!”Dammit. This had to all be preplanned by Roger. That was the only way those tunnels existed, and those bastards managed to get in so quickly.‘Lock the boarders!’ I order, mindlinking with all guards who protected the perimeters of Emerald Moon. ‘And keep your senses heightened for any movement beneath the ground.’Right now, there was a good chance that those cloaked bastards were still around. If I could catch just one, I would have a way to get answers, but that was only if they were caught.“Warren,” I continue, turning my gaze to the man watching. “You and a few others go and scout through that tunnel they used to get into the dungeon.”“Yes, alpha.” He says before turning and hurrying off.“Maybe I should help.” William offer
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
