All Chapters of The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

[Elise’s POV]“Uncle William,” Serenity’s voice comes out evenly, which is pretty damn impressive given the current circumstances. “Could we maybe talk inside?”As she speaks, she looks around as if someone may be watching, and when William understands her discomfort, he nods and moves aside, allowing us to enter.Remaining in place, I watch while the others easily enter his cabin, but for me, the feeling is completely different, especially given our past.“Are you coming?” He asks when everyone else is inside. “Or are you too shy to enter a grown man’s home?”Too shy. Was he full of shit? Picking on a young girl while thinking that it was because she was scared of a man. It was good to see that some of his joking nature was still around, but it also bugged me.“I don’t see a man.” I shrug, moving forward and pushing past him. Where we touch comes alive with a delicious energy that I’ve never felt in my life, and before I can determine what it is, I pull away. “Pardon me.”Ignoring my

[Elise’s POV]I watch in annoyance as the two disrupting rogues look around the room. When their gazes come to rest on Serenity, they are moving, confirming once again that she is definitely their target.Not wasting any time, I begin to move, rushing toward both and grabbing them with my arms. Letting out a growl, I push forward, keeping them away from the one that they’re after.“Don’t just stand there.” I snap when no one moves. “Fucking help me!”In a flash, William is moving forward so fast that I almost don’t see him, and before I even know it, he is pressing his body against mine and helping me tackle the rogues to the ground.Together, we hold them down while they fight mindlessly to get free and get to Serenity.“Oi!” I yell, turning my gaze to Maverick. “Get your princess out of here!”Since Serenity was the rogues target, it was obvious that keeping her safe was the main priority. Even if it meant letting her out of my sight while something so serious was happening, I didn’

[Serenity’s POV]“Are you sure about this?”Maverick’s voice is filled with distrust as he asks me the question. He was making it clear that he didn’t trust my uncle William, but I did. If there was anyone who would keep not only his secret but even my own, it was him.“I’m sure.” I respond, giving him a smile.When our eyes meet, I feel something rush through me, and it makes me look away immediately. Maybe it was from how protective his expression was or something more, but lately, Maverick has been making me feel odd. I wasn’t quite sure what it was I was feeling, but something deep inside told me I shouldn’t be feeling it.‘Whimp.’ Mahogany chuckles. ‘Too afraid to figure it out.’Too afraid. Of course, I was afraid, especially when it came to Maverick. Since his arrival in the pack, I felt a connection to him, and through the years, the dynamic of our relationship has changed, but I wasn’t sure just how. It wasn't like before, when I felt responsible for him. It was something mor

[Serenity’s POV]“Leave that to me.”Uncle William’s voice is filled with so much certainty that I truly believe he can seek out the answers that we so desperately needed. It was one thing to only have Maverick shift from that rogue to who he was now, but with more appearing, we really needed to know where they were coming from and what exactly it was that they wanted.‘Isn’t it obvious?’ Mahogany huffs, causing confusion to flash through me.‘What do you mean?’Although I had an idea, I was certain that I was just being paranoid, but the chances were pretty coincidental.‘Your blood.’ Mahogany responds, confirming my biggest fear.‘We don’t know for certain.’‘Don’t say I didn’t warn you.’ She huffs before slinking away.“Serenity,” Uncle William calls, snapping me out of my head. “I think it’s best that you and Maverick head back for the evening.” He continues from his place on the ground, where he still cradles the woman he called Elise.“What about these three?” I ask, letting my

[Elise’s POV]I lay on Serenity’s bed, taking in the room around me while the twins and Maverick stared at me. The place is pretty spacious compared to the room they gave me, but I was certain it was due to hierarchy. Of course, the children of Alpha’s would get better spaces, and that was fine with me. On the contrary, the thing that bothered me was the fact that just on the other side of the hallway was where Maverick was staying.Narrowing my gaze, I take in the bored-looking man who is watching me like I’m a predator, ready to attack his queen.‘He’s so obvious.’ Anna giggles, mirroring exactly what I’m thinking. ‘I wonder how the big lug would feel knowing that his precious daughter was being courted by a wolfless being.’Cocking my head to the side, I watch as Maverick’s gaze snaps to Serenity as she comes out of the closet that she was searching inside of. Just by the way his eyes followed her every move, it was so damn obvious that he wanted a piece, but were his feelings for
