All Chapters of Her Redemption. His Second Chance.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

[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

[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

[Rosco’s POV]I head down the stairs while wondering whether or not having Marty watch Elise was actually a good idea. I was more than aware he was a natural flirt, especially when it came to a beautiful woman, and from what I knew, Elise wasn’t exactly shy either.Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, I turn and look toward the room that the two are now alone in.“Dammit.” I grumble.Whatever. They were adults, and whatever happened between them happened. Honestly, if some type of romance were to emerge for Elise, then Marty would be the better choice. If it got William to leave her alone, I would actually welcome it.Sighing, I tear my gaze away and continue to move, heading back toward where Denali and Serenity waited for me. However, before I could reach my destination, William appears.“Cousin!” He calls, spotting me. “Just the person I wanted to speak with.”“Speak with me?” I repeat, raising a brow. “And what do you possibly need me for?”“Of course to speak with you about Uncl

[Denali’s POV]The next morning, I lay with Rosco, basking in the feel of his sturdy body against mine. Sighing, I attempt to snuggle in closer, but stop as a growl of warning escapes him.“Careful, mi reina.” He warns, giving me a smirk. “If you push too much, I may not be able to control myself.”“Why does that sound so familiar?” I muse, remembering the first time I ever lay together in bed with him. “It seems like ages ago.”Even if it was just a little under a year that passed, so much has happened, but here we were alive and together.“I hope six weeks goes by quickly." Rosco grumbles, beginning to ease his hand up my shirt.“Be good.” I warn, though I don’t stop him. “You’re acting like a fiend.”“I am a fiend when it comes to you.”Shifting his body, Rosco begins to lift my shirt while preparing to take a nipple into his mouth, but stops as a knock sounds at the door.“Who the hell?” He huffs, looking from my exposed breast to the door. “Maybe we should...”“I know you’re awak

[Elise’s POV]I watch as Marty snuggles Denali against him. As he does so, I can see the jealousy raging in Rosco’s eyes, but the big lug doesn’t say a word. I guess he was capable of being rational when it came to being a leader.“Come find us when you finish.” Marty says now, beginning to move. “You know where we will be.”Nodding, Rosco keeps his gaze on Marty as he heads through the crowd, which is parting like the red sea.“Good choice.” I giggle when I pass Rosco.“Are you mocking me?” He growls, turning back to his angry self.“Nope.” I sigh, clapping his shoulder. “See ya later, brother-in-law.”Lifting a hand, I give a wave before I begin to skip off in the direction that Marty headed in with my sister.When I arrive at the infirmary, I find them together as Olga fusses.“Look what you did, sis.” I say, drawing her gaze toward me. “You got the old lady angry.”“Old lady?” Olga growls, shooting me a glare. “You better watch your words, kid.”“If I’m a kid, you’re an old lady.”
