His Secret Second Chapter 21: Drunk Luna Advice
(Jenna POV)While Danny and Kade were off doing whatever they were doing, Ashley and I had the top floor of the packhouse to ourselves. I appreciated it, because Ashley was already proving to be a better friend than any other she-wolf that I had ever met.Of course, females tend to bond pretty easily when stupid males and crying are involved, and I had already done my fair share of crying on her shoulder.To celebrate our impromptu girls’ night, Ashley decided that we should spend most of our time drinking my problems away. She brought out all the fixings for raspberry mojitos, lemon drops, and mai tais. She also brought out werewolf rum and vodka, so that all the drinks would have just the right amount of “kick” to them. “Can I give you some unsolicited advice?” Ashley asked me after our third round of drinks.“You are the luna, so I’m pretty sure I couldn’t say no even if I wanted to.”Ashley handed me my fourth drink and held up her own. “I’m on my way to being a very DRUNK l
His Secret Second Chapter 20: Calling in a Favor
(Danny POV)The next night, I convinced Ashley to hang out with Jenna while Kade and I went to get a couple of beers.After we sat down at the bar –which was thankfully mostly empty-- it took me nearly 45 minutes to get through the story of what had happened with Jenna at the hotel. Why? Because my mother f&&king best friend couldn’t stop laughing.“Tell me again,” he demanded through chuckles so loud that he was practically crying. “How did you explain why being Beth’s caregiver would be better than being your parents’ maid?”I glared at him, but my anger did nothing to get him to back off. The truth was that I had been running on mental fumes at that point in the conversation with Jenna, and I really had thought it was a good idea. She would be even closer to me; she wouldn’t have to work as a maid; and she would get to see first-hand how much Beth and I were NOT together.It made sense.Or I had thought so. Until she demanded that I get dressed and leave. “The only thing tha
His Secret Second Chapter 19: Four to Six Weeks
(Jenna POV)The day had been filled with twists and turns, but as I laid naked in bed next to Danny, I felt hopeful and happy.I was snuggled against his chest, enjoying the feeling of the sparks as he rubbed circles on my back. I kept running my hand across his chest and abs, feeling in awe that this was my life and that he was my mate.In short, I was in that after-sex glow, where everything feels perfect, even if it’s not.“When do you want to announce our mating to your parents and the pack?” I asked casually.Danny tensed for half a second. It was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, but I felt it.“We will do it after Beth leaves.”“She hasn’t left yet?”The tension in Danny’s body increased. It was no longer subtle. He sat up and shifted a little so that he was facing me.“Jenna, Beth is going to be living at the packhouse, in the beta suite, for a while.”My heart dropped.“She’s going to what?”“Just for a while. Just until her cancer begins to go into remission.”
His Secret Second Chapter 18: First Confrontation
(Danny POV)I watched as Jenna processed my questions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she did not react well.At first, she looked at me like I had slapped her.Then, as she began to fully digest my words, she looked like she wanted to slap me.Even worse, when I silently refused to take back what I had asked her, much less the tone in which I had asked, Jenna’s face transformed into a look that told me that she was ready to tear my heart out of my chest and eat it for dinner.“You need to leave,” she said coldly. “We can talk another time.”“Not happening,” I growled.“I need time to think, and I am sure that you do too.”“Bullsh&t. You made promises Jenna. No hotel, no clothes, remember?”Jenna looked at me like I had grown two heads. And in that moment, I felt like maybe I had. But it didn’t matter. Jenna was my mate, and I wasn’t about to let that change.I’d messed up one mating bond. I would not mess up two.***(Jenna POV)I could not for the life of me understand what Danny w
His Secret Second Chapter 17: His Panic
(Danny POV)I panicked.That’s it. That’s my only excuse.I couldn’t introduce Jenna as my mate… not in the middle of a meeting like that… not when a she-wolf I had once been mated to had just announced that she was dying… not when her dying was quite likely my fault… not when her family was literally counting on me to keep her alive. If Jenna had kept quiet, maybe I could have eased into the announcement. Gotten more information. Figured out another solution. Maybe. I don’t know.But once she growled ---especially as loudly as she did--- it changed everything. I understood why she did it, but it put me in a tough place. And I panicked. Like I often do in tough emotional situations.Thankfully, everyone accepted my explanation without question. No one even asked me why a maid would growl, which just goes to show just how emotionally charged everything was.Kade mind-linked me almost as soon as the words were out of my mouth.“Maid? You just introduced your second chance mat
His Secret Second Chapter 16: The Maid
(Jenna POV)I did not mean to growl.I just… I had been standing there, listening to them talk about Beth’s cancer diagnosis and the likelihood that it was the rejection that had caused it… and my heart was breaking for Beth, for Beth’s family, and for Danny. I didn’t know whether it was okay that I will still standing there… I felt like I was intruding on something that I should not be listening to. But with this kind of news, Danny would need me, right? He had asked me to stay, and he would need the comfort of his mate. I didn’t want to abandon him by walking away.And then, while a hundred conflicting thoughts were going through my head, someone (a doctor?) suggested that Danny and Beth get back together. And Willow got angry.. and I got angry… and the growl just … came out.Deep down, I knew it was irrational. Danny belonged to Beth first. If his rejection meant that she would die, maybe she should get him back. I mean, wasn’t it crazy that I ever expected that this mating
His Secret Second Chapter 11: Moving Day
(Jenna POV)The mate bond is strong and all-consuming. Anyone who tells you that it isn’t is lying.Or at least that is what I told myself, and how I justified practically throwing myself at Danny after knowing him for less than 48 hours.Of course, it didn’t hurt that ...with the exception of the
His Secret Second Chapter 10: The Worst Negotiation
(Danny POV)Before I could even answer Jenna’s question, she stood up.“You know what? Never mind.”She then turned to Kade and Ashley.“Thank you for a great evening. It was nice to meet you both. I am sorry to head out early, but I have another long workday in front of me.”Without waiting fo
His Secret Second Chapter 9: Meeting the Alpha
(Danny POV)At 9 am the next morning, I began pounding on the door of Kade’s alpha suite.When he finally answered, his grumpy mood did nothing to thwart my happy one.“Honeymoon’s over, Alpha,” I said smugly.“You don’t get to decide that,” he growled.“Oh, I do. You see, I am alpha for the next
His Secret Second Chapter 8: Forest Walk
(Danny POV)All it took was one dinner with Jenna Maxwell, and I knew that I was in love.The mate bond helped, yes… but Jenna was different than any other she-wolf that I had ever met.She was intelligent and witty, and her work stories kept me laughing. She also asked really good questions about
