Jenn’s POV

I swallowed the burning ache in my throat. “Nothing will happen to me.” I said with a confidence I didn’t feel. “I promise.”

Alice pulled me into a hug then, and her arms wrapped around me with a fierce, desperate strength that reminded me of every time she had held me as a child after my parents died. I buried my face in her shoulder and breathed in the scent of her.

When I finally pulled back, her cheeks were wet but her jaw was set. “I love you,” I whispered.

“I love you too.

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    A Familiar Pull

    Jenn’s POV I swallowed the burning ache in my throat. “Nothing will happen to me.” I said with a confidence I didn’t feel. “I promise.” Alice pulled me into a hug then, and her arms wrapped around me with a fierce, desperate strength that reminded me of every time she had held me as a child after my parents died. I buried my face in her shoulder and breathed in the scent of her. When I finally pulled back, her cheeks were wet but her jaw was set. “I love you,” I whispered. “I love you too.” She cupped my face in both hands – the same gesture Liam used, I realized suddenly, the same tenderness – and her thumbs brushed the tears from my cheeks. “Now go. End this. And come back to me.” The estate was quiet when I finally made my way back to our quarters. The moon hung heavy in the sky, nearly full, and its pale light spilled through the window and pooled silver on the bed where Liam was waiting for me. He'd shed his jacket and kicked off his boots by the door. He was sitting on th

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Night Before

    Jenn’s POV I didn't see Morgan arrive so much as feel her – a sudden, sharp tug of emotion that rippled through the courtyard like a stone dropped into still water. A strangled sound escaped her throat, and when I turned, the tears were already streaming down her cheeks in waves. Someone had taken the baby from her arms. A wise decision, as it turned out, because it gave her enough space to wring her hands together as she bit down on her bottom lip until I was certain it would bruise. “T – Tristan...” Her voice came out as a choked sob, barely recognizable. Tristan crossed the threshold in four long strides and engulfed her in his arms, pulling her against his chest with a desperation that spoke of months of separation and the kind of fear that only faded when you could finally touch the person you'd been terrified of losing. Morgan's fingers clutched at the torn fabric of his shirt, her shoulders shaking with the force of her sobs, and he held her like she was the only solid th

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Last Clue

    Jenn’s POV “Grant,” she gasped. “His name is Grant. He’s been on the Council for three hundred years. He’s worn a dozen bodies. But this one… he’s been waiting for this body for centuries. A vessel strong enough to hold an ancient power.” “And the heirloom?” I pressed. “What does it have to do with this ancient power? Why do you guys want it?” “It – it’s the key. Your blood – not the ancient power that lives inside you – activates it. Without you, the heirloom is just a stone.” Her fingers clawed at my wrist. “Please. I’ve told you everything.” I released her, watching as she collapsed onto the rocks, gasping, her body shuddering with silent sobs. Liam shifted back to his human form and stood beside me, his chest still heaving from the fight. Blood streaked his skin, but none of it was his. “Is she dead?” he asked. “No. But her power is broken.” I bent and picked up the silver ring. The obsidian stone was cold in my palm, as cold as the woman who had worn it. “And she’s going to

    Jenn’s POV Liam’s hand caught my arm. His grip was gentle but his eyes were blazing. “No.” he ran a hand through his hair. “Why do you always feel the need to sacrifice yourself for us? You have nothing to prove, Jenn. There’s no need to prove anything to us!” The anger that seeped out of him provoked something inside me, but I pushed it down along with my Alpha aura which was fighting to burst out of me. “It’s the only way – ” “I said no.” He pulled me aside, away from the others, his voice dropping to a fierce whisper. “You’re not offering yourself up as bait. Not now. Not when you’re carrying our child. Not when I too promised not to do anything careless.” I reached up and cupped his face in both hands. His jaw was tight under my palms, the muscle jumping. Through the mate bond, I could feel the full weight of his fear – the fear of losing me. The same fear that had nearly swallowed him when the Mad Alpha’s venom had almost taken me from him. The same fear I had felt when I tho

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    I Know Where To Find You

    Jenn’s POV The place Osiris was talking about was a mountain known as The Spire. I’d always thought it was a myth or no longer in existence because the place was mostly written about in books, especially the ones my mother shared with me sometimes. In the ancient times, it had been home to the druids who were once part of the realm, but according to the stories, they’d been wiped out during the Great war that led to separation of the realm. If that place still existed and Selene who had a compulsion power lived there, there was only one conclusion to come to. I sighed, rubbing my temple. I hoped I was wrong about it. “The Mad Alpha is still our target.” I turned to face them all.The dark wolf was at the surface now, pressing against my skin. “He took my parents. He – through Selene – violated my sister. He’s been hunting me since before I knew my own name.” I looked up at Liam, and felt his quiet support. “I’m done running. I’m done waiting for him to come to me. We’ll find Sel

    Jenn’s POV I nodded slowly. “She wore a ring,” Alice continued, her voice growing quieter. “Silver, with a dark stone. Obsidian, maybe. She’d twist it on her finger whenever she was about to use her ability. It was like a tell. A habit she couldn’t control.” “Is there anything else you remember? Anything at all?” Alice was silent for a long moment. “Her voice. There was an accent I couldn’t place. She hid it most of the time, but when she was angry or impatient, it would slip through. And there was something else – she knew about the heirloom. Not what it was, exactly, but that it existed. She asked about it more than once. She wanted to know if you’d found it yet, if you’d told me anything about where your parents might have hidden it.” I filed the details away without responding. Alice finally looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. “I’m sorry, Jenn. I know that doesn’t fix anything. I know it doesn’t change what I did. But I never wanted to hurt you. I only wanted to prote

    Liam’s POV There was too much blood! Jenn looked small now that she was unconscious and she was limp in my arms, seemingly lifeless. Tears stained her too-pale face, and there was too much blood spread out over her skin to even see where it was coming from. My wolf whined inside me but I ignore
