LOGIN"But I gave him the excuse—" "He would have created an excuse regardless." I was firm now. "Nate, stop blaming yourself. Your grandfather made his choices. Recruited his rogues. Planned his attacks. Built his conspiracy for fifteen years before you even met me. You're not responsible for his extre
"He wasn't who you thought he was. Nate, that's not your fault. Children see the best in people. See what they're shown. You didn't know about his extremism because he hid it. Because he was—he was good at pretending to be someone different." "For fifteen years. Dad said Grandfather's been plannin

"And?" "And I can't keep doing that. Can't keep destroying myself and calling it protection." I set down my fork. "So I'm going to talk to my father about delegating more of the intelligence work. About only taking point on missions I'm actually needed for. About letting the pack handle this as a
My Cheating Mate Emma pov I shouldn't be doing this. That's what I told myself as I let myself into Jeremy's house with the key I'd kept, armed with cleaning supplies and groceries. He was meeting with his father about the rogue situation, and I'd decided—impulsively, maybe foolishly—to take a
My Cheating Mate Jeremy pov The plan had been for Emma to stay at the pack house in the fortified safe room with maximum security. She'd agreed. Promised. Said she'd follow protocols.
