His Secret Second Chapter 155: To my Darling Jenna
(Jenna POV)“Whoa, whoa, wait,” I protested. “Back up a second. That’s a ton of information that you just threw out in three sentences.”“I know.”He stood up and walked towards his desk, thumbing through a drawer in search of something. “Would you like some water or coffee?” he asked as he searched.“After that, I think I need a cocktail. Or three.”He nodded.A couple of minutes later, an Omega knocked on the door. My father must have mind-linked her. The Omega had scotch and ice for my father, and a large margarita for me.I had been joking when I asked for it. Even so, I wasn’t going to turn it down. I took a large sip.Soon, my father returned to the sitting area with a file in his hands. He laid it down on the coffee table in front of me.“What is this?” I asked.“Copies of the letters that I sent to the werewolf council. Requests for information that I sent to other packs.” He paused.“The letters that I got from your mother after she left.”I started to reach for th
His Secret Second Chapter 154: Somewhere in Between
(Jenna POV)After another quick hug, Jeanie left the office so that my father and I could talk.For at least 30 seconds, my father and I just stared at one another.I’m not sure what he saw in my expression, but in his I saw a strange mix of pride and admiration. To be honest, it made me slightly uncomfortable.Eventually, I decided that I needed to be blunt and direct with him. I didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings about why I was there.“Alpha Black, I want to be upfront. I know you need an heir, but I have a life, a career, friends, and ---”“I don’t need an heir, Jenna,” he interrupted. “My nephew –Jeanie’s son--- is willing and able to take over as alpha if you don’t want the position.”Okay, what?I furrowed my eyebrows.“But I thought that was why you were looking for me?”“No. I was looking for you because you are my daughter.”“But Nick said that ---”“Nick?”Sh&t. I forgot that most wolves didn’t refer to Nick so informally.“Sorry, the Alpha King,” I correct
His Secret Second Chapter 153: Welcome to Midnight Moon
(Two Weeks Earlier)(Jenna POV)I called Nick.“Hey, Sweetheart. You make it?”“I’m here.”“As in, inside the pack borders?”“As in, inside my car, around 1000 feet away.”“How long have you been there?”“An hour.”There was a long pause.“Sweetheart, it’s time to go in.”“I’m nervous,” I confessed.“About what?”“I don’t know.”“Sweetheart….”“I have hated him most of my life.”“So your expectations are low.”“Yes, but if I talk to him, and he is as bad as I’ve always thought –”“Then you have lost nothing.”“Then I’ve lost the hope that he could be more.”“What if you talk to him and find out he’s not a monster?”“What if he’s somewhere in between?”“Sweetheart, you won’t know until you talk to him.”“But you know.”“I know there is more to him than meets the eye. That’s it.”“What if –”“What if you don’t find out? Can you live with never knowing?”I sighed.“Okay.”“Call me later?”Agreeing, I reluctantly hung up the phone.****After spending another ten minutes in my car, I f
His Secret Second Chapter 152: The Queen's Seat
(Nick POV)“Connor.”I looked up, only to see my uncle entering my office. No knock; no invitation. Just straight on it, as though he owned the place.To be fair, he used to. But not now.“What do you want?” I growled.It had been six weeks since Jenna left for Jamaica. She was back in the states now, but at her father’s pack.“You look like sh&t,” he said casually, as he sat down in one of the chairs across from me.“What’s your point?” I demanded.My fuse was short. Very short. “I’ve been getting reports from your staff. You’ve been a nightmare around here lately.”“And?”“And it cannot continue.”I growled.I was the Alpha King. Not him.I was not in the mood for a lecture.“Say what you came to say.”“We have several candidates to replace Danny Nichols as Beta of Blue River.”I forced myself to keep a straight face when I heard Danny's name. I had tried for a long time to like the a&&hole, in part because I could see that he wasn’t a bad guy through and through. However,
His Secret Second Chapter 151: When Jamaica Ends
(Jenna POV)The last two weeks of my vacation were… fine.That probably sounds miserable, considering how heavenly I described the first half.However, it wasn’t miserable. It just… wasn’t what it had been before.Once Danny came to see me, Jamaica didn’t feel like an escape anymore. Instead, it felt like a place where I could get some thinking done… provided Danny didn’t come back.I still went to the music concerts, but I didn’t stay out very late. I still went on small adventures, but my heart really wasn’t in them.When Roman texted to thank me for going to the wedding with him and ask me how things were, I smiled but chose not to respond.Mostly, I spent time on the beach. I continued to take books with me, but I never touched them. Instead, I studied the humans and wolves around me. I watched their interactions and listened to their conversations. Couples; friend groups; families. Each one was different.One couple started to fight, but the female immediately relented an
His Secret Second Chapter 150: Placing Blame
(Jenna POV)Danny looked up.“I have continued in my therapy, Jenna. And one of the things we have worked on lately is me taking accountability for things instead of making excuses.”“Wow.”“I messed up with you in so many ways. And I regret them all.”“Okay.”“I want you to know that I never cheated on you.”“Not physically,” I agreed.“Not physically,” he repeated. “And not emotionally either. My heart was always with you. Never with Beth.”“We’ve been through this, Danny,” I complained, standing up.“We have but we haven’t.”“We have.”“You still blame yourself.”“Of course I still blame myself! If my instincts had been working properly, I would have left you that first week.”“That’s different than what you said before.”“What is?” I asked, confused.“Just a few minutes ago, you said that the problem was that you listened to your instincts and they led you astray. That’s different than what you said just now.”I sighed.“What’s your point?”“My point is that your instincts d
His Secret Second Chapter 2: Connection to the Past
(Jenna POV)The day that Mr. McMahon returned, I began our meeting by going over the retainer agreement with him.“What the f&&k is this?” he asked as he looked over the contract terms.I leaned back in my chair and smiled.“Which part bothers you? I believe it is all pretty standard.”“$650 per h

(A little more than two years earlier)(Jenna POV)“Jenna Maxwell, I want you to meet Alexander McMahon,” my boss said as he walked into the conference room.I stood up and politely offered my hand. Instead of accepting the handshake, the 50-something Mr. McMahon turned my hand and kissed it gentl
His Secret Second Prologue
(Jenna POV)I am standing in the middle of the woods… alone… staring into the dark night sky.Heavy rain pounds down all around me, while thunder roars and lightning flashes across the sky. I am wearing a rain jacket, but it is only barely doing its job. My hair is wet, and I am drenched from hea
His Secret Second Chapter 3: Unplanned Visitor
(Danny POV)It was late in the day on a Friday afternoon, and I was going through a never-ending pile of paperwork on my desk. I was exhausted, but I had at least another 3-4 hours of work before I could call it a day.Frustrated with the constant stream of interruptions today and my inability to
