Josephine POV

I walked into my father’s house—I suppose it’s my house now—with bloodshot eyes and a gaping hole in my chest. Nothing had changed in the week I’d been gone. I was still alone, still grieving, but it felt so much worse. The cottage on the edge of my small town had never felt cramped before, but now, the walls were closing in on me.

I went into the backyard, hoping to find solace among the plants. My mother’s azalea bush had pride of place, surrounded by medicinal herbs I’d plante

    Matthew POVMy wolf howls painfully as we watch Jill walk out the door. My chest seizes.Did I really just do that to her?A mixture of pain and regret swirls inside me, but I force myself to stand still. I can’t give in no matter how terrible I feel at rejecting her.Denying Jill took every fiber of self-control I had. When I walked out of the shower to see her in my bed—a place I’d been imagining her for a while— my heart stopped. She offered herself to me, making it so easy to say yes.My wolf had been so restless, I swear he would burst from my skin.I could’ve easily fallen onto the bed with her, kissed her, claimed her in the way she practically begged me to.But I couldn’t. Despite wanting to so badly, I couldn’t! If I kiss her, claim her…there’s no going back.I fall into bed, unable to sleep, and stare at the ceiling until the sun finally rises and the sunlight creeps in through the windows.A light knock on the door forces me to sit up.“What is it?” I call out. I feel just

    Jill POVMatthew folds his arms across his chest, watching me with a cold stare. “Why are you in my room, Jill? I didn’t invite you here, and I don’t want you here. You should leave.”My chest tightens with anxiousness. I refuse to believe I was that wrong about how he feels toward me, so I don’t move a muscle.“You didn’t answer my question,” I told him. “If you want me gone, you’ll have to lift me off this bed and throw me out yourself.”He won’t be able to resist once he touches me. Every time we’ve previously touched, it felt like a fire was burning beneath my skin. Just let him touch me and feel the same; he’ll give in.Matthew walks toward me, his eyes never leaving mine. He leans over the bed so that his mouth is mere inches above mine.“Get. Out,” he growls, his voice sending a shudder through me.My wolf howls like she’s been struck, and the pain that sinks into my chest makes it hard to breathe. I swear I can hear my heart cracking.“I don’t understand,” I choke, sitting up

  • The Wolf King's Secret Son    Chapter 112

    Jill POVI watch him walk away, studying his back muscles and telling myself not to drool. I just need a chance with him—one chance to prove to him I’m worth his time. But how do I do that?He’s avoiding me like the plague. Even now, he won’t stick around to talk to me. He dismisses me before we can talk for longer than a few minutes.Is he not attracted to me? I know I’m not alarmingly beautiful, but I’m not ugly either.Maybe I just need to make him see me in a different way—a physical way. Would he be able to resist me then?I guess I have to try and find out.I return to my room, my wolf becoming more restless by the minute. She senses my desire in addition to the pull of the full moon, and it’s making her crazy.“Soon,” I reassured her quietly. “I have a plan.”Or the beginning of a plan—a plan that might not work. But he’d be a fool to turn me down, right?I open the wardrobe where all sorts of clothes have been provided for me. Digging through the fabrics, I finally found what

    Matthew POVMy eyes fly open. My heart is racing, and I take a few breaths to slow it back down.This dream felt different. Usually, they cut off with my mother’s screams, but this time…this time, I dreamt that I saw the killer and the mark on his back. I don’t know that I’ve ever dreamed of the mark before—at least not on the killer himself.I knew it wasn’t true. When it happened, I obeyed my mother and remained hidden beneath the bed like I promised her I would while they fought with their lives to protect me. I didn’t see anyone, even though I wish I would’ve. Then, maybe I’d have more to go on in finding the killer.I groan, my voice echoing into the room. My muscles are tense after the dream, but it’s the middle of the night and too early to get up.My eyes close again, and my thoughts drift back to Jill. My heartbeat speeds up, but this time, it’s in a good way. Thinking of her washes away the fear and fills me with a different kind of tension.I remember touching my thumb to h

    Matthew POV“There has to be something we missed,” I hissed at Elder Rose.She frowns at me, not backing away from my temper. “I’ve told you every detail I can remember, Matthew. If there was something else, you’d be the first to know.”“I can’t just hang around doing nothing. It’s been ten years, and the killer is still out there!”“Yelling about it isn’t going to do a thing,” she says.My wolf growls in response, and I turn away from her so that she doesn’t see my glare, refraining from responding. I can’t take it out on her. It won’t bring my parents back, and it won’t bring me any closer to the murderer.“How did he just walk away unscathed? My parents would’ve fought back. Why did he choose to kill them, of all people? He chose our pack, our Alpha and Luna. My parents prevented him from discovering me, but why hasn’t he returned to finish me off?”Rose lets out a sigh, her voice softening as she places a hand on my shoulder.“I don’t doubt you will find the one responsible. Are

    Jill POVI pay attention to every turn, mentally taking note of the sides of the house that are closest to the forest tree line and would make for an easy escape. As I’m walking around the shrubs, I hear the sound of grunts and groaning.“What is that?” I ask.My wolf doesn’t respond, wondering the same.I carefully walk around the shrubs to where I see an open space. Matthew is sparring with a young boy.I watch as his shirtless form moves with grace, dodging a fist as he lands one to the young man’s gut.My core tightens as I watch him move with a gracefulness that seems impossible. I see the muscles ripple as his tanned skin glistens in the sun. I’m surprised to hear the gentleness in his tone when he speaks to the boy.“Keep your elbows up to block,” he instructs. “Don’t go slacking in those arm workouts I gave you.”The young boy groans. “They’re hard!”“They’ll get easier,” Matthew encourages him with a smile.My heart stops at the expression on his face. How can he be so stunni
