[Elise’s POV]

Eyes widening, I realize too late what the hell is coming out of my mouth. Fuck. Why did I go and say such a thing when there were plenty of other explanations? Was I some sort of idiot?

‘Probably,’ Anna chuckles, not making matters better. ‘Or you were speaking from the heart.’

At her words, I feel my heart squeeze painfully as I look at William, who is watching me carefully. Sure, maybe that was right, but there was no fucking way we could ever be together now.

“You’re spying on me because you like me.” He says now, snapping me out of my head. “Do you really expect me to believe that?”

Shock rolls through me at his words, but in a way, I’m happy that he doesn’t actually believe what I said. However, if he wasn’t willing to believe that I liked him, then what did he suspect?

“I’ve thought this since the day that you approached my niece, but you have a secret agenda for getting close to not only her but even me, don’t you?”

Opening my mouth, I prepare to argue, but I kno

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   No Control

    [Serenity’s POV]My grandmother stares at me, shock coloring her features, but deep in her eyes that are the same color as mine, the same color as my mom's, I can see a bit of pride over the choice that I am making.“Is that your final decision?” She asks, eyeing me. “Do you plan on letting the time of the wolves disappear forever if it means saving your mother?”“I am,” I tell her. “I won’t let my mother die, and I won’t let this cycle continue.”“Then I won’t stop you from doing what you want, sweetheart.” She smiles, moving forward and touching my cheek.However, where I expect a warm, comforting touch, I find nothing but cold tendrils erupting and slowly beginning to flow into me.“This,” I gasp, my eyes widening. “What are you…”“I’m making sure that you don’t decide to go against your decision, sweetie.” She responds, her eyes now dark, endless tunnels slowly sucking me in. “You’ll need a strong determination to watch your world crash and burn. I’m only giving that to you.”“But

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   A Never-ending Cycle

    [Serenity’s POV]I’m drifting. My body is light and weighs almost nothing. I feel like I’m floating in a warm darkness that is slowly disrupted by a light that grows brighter by the minute until it is almost blinding.“What?” I hiss, blocking my eyes from the bright light. “What is…”“Serenity.”The voice is soft and comforting, and I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before. I’m not quite sure where it was, maybe in a distant memory or even a dream, but I’m certain that I know it.“Sweetheart, you have to stop them.” It continues when I don’t speak. “Otherwise, I fear that our race will soon be ending.”“Who are you?” I ask, blinking in an attempt to be able to see the one speaking. “Why do you know these things?”As I speak, the light in front of me begins to fade; slowly but surely, I can soon see the one speaking, and she looks almost like my mother, but completely different.“Grandma?” I whisper, remembering the stories I’ve heard of her from my mother. They were few, but enough

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Take The Lead

    [William’s POV]“That’s enough! We can discuss all of this later. For now, we need to get moving. Serenity is waiting for us to save her, and if you want to stay and talk, I’ll go without you!”Maverick’s voice rings out into the night as I take Denali in. Fuck, she looks rough, and I was certain if Rosco was in his right mind, he would be ripping Jose into a million pieces, but since he wasn’t here, wasn’t that honor left to me?It would be, but Maverick was right; we didn’t have time to be standing around here. We needed to go to where Serenity was. Although, I was certain that Ellie and Ezekial wouldn’t make it easy.Now it makes sense. I think, remembering the wolves who attacked me on the road on my way back here. They were set all around the backgrounds to make sure that no one got in and no one got out, but they messed with the wrong fucking one. And I guess I needed to thank them for doing that since it made me call on my elites.Fate is on my side. I think, feeling a wave of

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Save Her

    [Maverick’s POV]I watch silently as the two sisters exchange words while everything in me screams to get moving. I know that there is a chance that they may never see each other again, and because of that, they should say what they want, but every moment Serenity wasn’t with me was torture. However, even then I don’t say anything, nor do I attempt to move.I have to hold comfort in knowing that they won’t kill Serenity. Since it was her blood that Ellie and Ezekial were after, I knew that she wouldn’t be killed, but that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t be tortured.Please. I whisper silently, my prayer going out into the darkness around me. Please be safe.As I speak, I find myself searching for Serenity even though I know deep down that I won’t be able to connect with her. There was no way that Ellie would allow something like that since it would mean that it would be easier to find her, but even then I search.Serenity. I whisper, my heart squeezing painfully. Where are you?Closing

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Join The Pack

    [Elise’s POV]I stare at Jose, wondering what exactly it was that he was trying to say. It was like a foreign language to me.Mindlink? What was that?“Let me explain.” He says when I give him a questioning look. “Mindlink is how wolves communicate with one another from long distances.”Frowning, I try to process what he’s telling me. Of course, it sounds absolutely ridiculous, but given the circumstances, I was willing to believe that there actually was such a thing. But how did you go about doing it? What was the trick?“Okay,” I say slowly, deciding that it was better to just be told than try to make sense of it. “And how exactly will we be able to do it?”For a moment, he doesn’t speak. Instead, he exchanges a glance with Denali and Maverick, who watch on silently.“She already has a pack.” Denali says quietly, giving me a look. “Even if they abandoned her.”“Then she doesn’t need that pack.” Maverick huffs. “I say that she has full reason to swear her loyalty to Jose in this situ

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Our Part

    [Maverick’s POV]Pain shoots through me as smoke threatens to suffocate me. There’s fire all around me and debris from the explosion that took place. A beam lies across me, holding me in place as I fight to break free. And as I search the area, I don’t see anybody who is capable of helping.Shit. I think, drawing on all the strength I have. What the hell even happened?Last I remembered I was fighting two of Ezekial’s wolves, and then there was a loud boom and then blackness. From what I could see, I was certain that a bomb had been planted and it went off during the fighting.But why?Wasn’t the one who set it off aware that their own was still in the building? Did that mean that they didn’t give a shit who was taken out by it?Or…Panic begins to flare up in me as I continue to fight the beam on top of me, struggling with all my might to budge even an inch, and once I do that, I wriggle some more.“Get off me.” I hiss, clawing at the floor for leverage. “Get the hell off of me.”Wit
