All Chapters of Her Redemption. His Second Chance.: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

[William’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Elise as she stares at me like I am some sort of foreign being. Was it really that strange for someone to say such a thing to her, or was it a problem because it was me?“If you keep staring at me like that, I’m going to kiss you.” I warn, leaning closer.Eyes widening, Elise attempts to step back but stops as she remembers that the only thing keeping her from meeting the ground is a single branch.“Did you hit your head too hard back there?” She finally asks, eyeing me curiously. “You’re not making any sense.”Not making sense? How was what I said considered not thinking straight? It was pretty fucking clear that she was an ethereal being. From her sparkling blue eyes to her perfect proportions and lean build, she was perfect by wolf standards and better looking than most of the she-wolves in Crystal Fang.“Should I dumb it down for you?” I chuckle. “I think you’re beautiful.”Lifting a hand, I attempt to brush her long, dark hair behind her ea

[Rosco’s POV]I watch the scene unfold in front of me, from my men attacking the glowing nue to Elise shifting and instructing everyone to get back. It’s like some fucking war movie as the beast explodes, killing those closest and sending those not as close crashing to the side. And when the force of the explosion hits me, I find myself clawing at the ground to remain in place.“DON’T BREATH IN THE SMOKE!”Despite all the chaos that is going on and the sound of the explosion itself, Elise’s words ring out around me, spurring me to do as she says, while I find myself wondering whether or not she knows exactly what is happening.That’s why, when everything settles, I shift back into my human form and immediately go looking for her, because if anyone had answers, it would be her. When I find her, she is hidden in William’s wolf, either hiding from me or keeping warm.As I approach, I can see that she is talking, and when I reach, only a single sentence registers with me.“I’ve got some e

[Elise’s POV]The next day, I stand with Marty on one side of me and William on the other. Both men take each other in as if they’re squaring each other up. I don’t know what the hell either is trying to achieve, but I immediately wish that the big lug and Denali would just let me go on this mission alone.“Could the two of you grow up?” I huff when their glaring contest doesn’t end. “If you’re just going to sit there and size each other up, you can stay here.”Letting out a huff of annoyance, I begin to move, making my way to the car that is waiting for us. Since the one we are looking for is a town over, we can’t go on foot, or rather, paw. Especially as since she is staying in a town filled with humans.Since she didn’t want to risk being killed due to her disability, she chose to stay among the humans, where it was much safer. Given her ability to heal, she would be greatly sought after since that was a skill not many held.This was the most Denali would tell me, which left me une

[Rosco's POV]“Do you really think it was a good idea to send Elise of all people to fetch Maria?”For most of the morning since Elise, William, and Marty’s departure, this question has bothered me. I wasn’t sure if Denali even thought anything of it since she chose to trust Elise, but even if she was willing to overlook things, I wasn’t.“Why wouldn’t it be?” Denali asks, looking down at me as I use her lap as a pillow.Since I had some business to attend to, she decided to keep me company, but after about an hour of going through paperwork, preparing for yet another funeral, and a few other things, I needed a break and decided to take advantage of my mate being with me.“She was part of that trafficking ring,” I point out. "And Maria and her son were among those in the dungeon."At my words, Denali’s expression shifts from at ease to something more, but before I can fully determine what it is she was feeling, it goes back to at ease.“I think she will be fine.” She responds slowly.

[Elise’s POV]I step out onto the grounds and take a deep breath while listening to the sound of footsteps behind me. Turning, I watch as Marty and William make their way toward me.“Why are you following me?” I ask, eyeing them curiously.“Because you dashed out of there like a bat out of hell.” Marty responds.“It looked like you were attempting to escape.” William adds. “And isn’t it our responsibility to make sure that you don’t do that?”“Not yours,” I counter, nodding toward William. “Only Marty’s.”Grinning, Marty comes to stand beside me, but when he places a hand on my shoulder, William’s gaze darkens before he storms forward and removes it.“Why were you so eager to go check the borders anyway?” He asks while Marty glares at him. “Are you afraid that something may have happened?”“Not really.” I counter. “I just wanted an excuse to escape before the big lug came after me.”Even if he wasn’t pursuing the subject currently, I knew that Rosco and even Jose still wanted my help
