All Chapters of Her Redemption. His Second Chance.: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

[Denali’s POV]I sit, humming, as Serenity slowly begins to fall asleep. When she finally begins to relax in my arms, I feel my anxiety beginning to build again, but I try my best to keep it at bay.I was already aware of the fact that the meeting Rosco was holding involved leaving for where my father and his men waited. Would this be it? Would we finally get rid of the enemy so that our peaceful lives could return to normal?No. There was no chance of that happening, not anytime soon anyway. Once this was over, there would be the matter of whether or not our packmates were infected by the nue and finding records about my mother to see if my hunch about her being poisoned was true. Then there was whatever was going on behind Crystal Fang’s walls.“Why do things keep happening?” I sigh, getting up and taking Serenity to her crib. “Is it because I am just that unlucky?”Stop that. I think inwardly. I couldn’t let my poor me attitude return; I had grown and was stronger because I had Ros

[Denali’s POV]I move forward, trying not to breathe through my nose or look too closely at the world around me. The groans of those infected echo around me, mixing in with the sounds of the nurses and doctors feet rushing along the floor. No one pays me attention. It’s like I’m a phantom here, and I guess with their minds occupied with the sick, no one really cared about me.I continue to move until I feel Rosco’s familiar essence. Once I’ve pinpointed where he is, I begin to move until I spot Maria coming out of a room, looking exhausted and covered in blood.“Maria,” I gasp, moving forward. “How are things?”“They’re…” She begins, worriedly biting her lip. “I’m not sure.”Not sure. If she was saying that, did it mean that even she wasn’t able to cure the infected of their ailment? If she couldn’t, then the only thing we could do was treat the sick and pray that they’d make it through.“There is only so much I can do.” She continues. “The illness the nue used is a strong one, and cu

[Elise’s POV]I lean against a tree, watching as Serenity cooes happily between my legs. Beside me, William leans his head on my shoulder, watching the scene with me.“Must be nice.” I murmur, reaching out and letting her grab my finger. “To be so ignorantly oblivious to the danger that is surrounding not only us but her parents and pack.”“Let her be.” William responds, snuggling closer to me.Frowning, I give him a pointed look, but he simply remains in place, clearly enjoying using me as his personal pillow a bit too much.“Excuse me,” I finally huff, nudging his head. “What do you think you’re doing?”“Isn’t it obvious?” He asks me, giving me a look of amusement. “I’m comforting you.”“Don’t you think it is the other way around?” I counter.“I don’t know,” William chuckles. “Is focusing on something that annoys you helping you relax a bit?”For a moment, I don’t speak as I consider what he was saying, and when I realize that he was right, I feel a wave of annoyance rush through me

[William’s POV]I stare down at the infant in my arms while Elise stares at me in amusement.“Famous last words.” She chuckles, beginning to move. “Since you’ve so graciously offered to care for her, let’s go and get her some diapers and formula. I’m sure she would prefer titty milk, but that just isn’t an option right now.”Nodding, I allow Elise to lead me out into the hall once more so we can make our way to Denali and Rosco’s room, but when we reach it, I stare at the door hesitantly.“Think it’s alright for us to go in there?” I ask, turning my gaze to Elise. “I mean, they’re not there and…”“And I was given the task of taking care of their princess.” She shrugs. “Don’t tell me that you’re afraid of breaking and entering.”Letting out a laugh, Elise heads into the room but stops in the center of the room while a hiss of shock escapes her. “What is it?” I ask, coming to join her. “What hap…”The rest of my words get lost in my throat as I take in the bloody scene. Fuck, it looked

[William’s POV]The next morning comes much too soon, and I lay awake, staring into Elise’s sleeping face. She looks so peaceful as she lies here in my arms. I almost don’t want to wake her, but I know that I have to.“Hey,” I murmur, brushing some hair behind her ear. “It’s time to get up, sleeping beauty.”“Mmmm.” Elise groans, swatting at my hand. “Five more minutes; I’m still tired.”“I could let you sleep five more minutes or even five more hours, but then Marty or Charlie may come hunting us.”At my words, Elise’s eyes fly open, and she shoots up so that the blanket that covers us slides down to her waist, exposing her bare breasts.Immediately, I feel my dick throb as desire rushes through me due to the perfection that is in front of me.Dammit. Would it really hurt to keep her trapped here with me, where I knew she was safe?Yes. It would, and the one who would do the killing would be Elise, because I was trying to control her.“Get your fill, sweetheart, because you won’t be
