Todos los capítulos de Echoes Of The Broken Vow, Her Ultimate Ascent : Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

Julian's POV: The Dreaded SealSo the consensus from my security desk is simple, though infuriating: the unidentified woman who showed up at Berry’s fundraiser is the same woman who crashed my wedding.And this same woman called Papa Murphy this evening, asking for some mysterious "merchandise."The senior analysts in my security department are going out of their minds trying to decipher what it all means. The conference room is littered with voice print readouts, wiretap transcripts, and surveillance stills.Frank taps his finger on a printout of Murphy's phone logs. "We could pick this guy up right now and drag him in for questioning,” he says. “A few hours in a secure room and he’ll tell us everything she bought.""If we do that and he runs to the local authorities, they'll know we bugged his phone without a warrant," Bob counters, his oily face worn. "We are in enough legal and public relations mess as it is, Frank.""Not if we establish that this 'merchandise' is something Murph

Trinity's POV: Old WoundsImmediately after hearing the news from Alpha Cassius Lane that Mabel was sick, I called her.Her voice sounded weak over the line, a shadow of her usual vibrant self. She told me the doctor said it was something inside her stomach. She insisted I shouldn’t worry or drop whatever I was doing out there to come back.I refused.The moment I ended the call, I packed a light travel bag and hurried out of the secluded house. As I threw my coat over my shoulders, Ruby’s voice chimed in from the console, asking if I would be gone for long."I don't know," I told her, zipping up my bag. "I'm leaving you in charge of the fort. Watch the perimeter, and watch Julian. I want to know exactly how fast his life is falling apart.""To the ruining of Julian Hayes Group," Ruby replied. "Cheers."I let out a soft sigh, unable to say 'cheers' back. Revenge was my driving force, but the bitter reality of my daughter suffering made the victory taste bitter.Two hours later, at aro

Trinity's POV: Masks On, Motives OutA pair of headlights appears up the street toward Mabel's house. I dive into a narrow side alley. My sneakers catch on the sidewalk and I almost slip. A dog starts barking nearby and I cover my mouth. The car, a black BMW, goes past. I peek around the the edge of the alley. The car comes to a stop in front of the house. The doors open, and Beta Bob Cohen steps out, accompanied by three burly men.So does Alpha Cassius Lane.I step back, my eyes wider. What is Cassius doing with them? Is he betraying me?I go back to look. Cassius walks up to the porch and knocks on the front door. Why on earth is he doing that when he literally just left me at the hospital with Mabel less than an hour ago?After a moment of silence on the porch, Cassius turns back to Bob, says something to him. Bob and all five men climb back into the car. The engine revs, and the car goes by the alley where I'm hunkered down. They drive back in the direction of the pack hospita

Trinity's POV: Tabloids and The Man In The Street Mabel alternates her gaze between me and Alpha Cassius Lane. I stare back at her with a pleasant smile and hope my expression is convincing.Cassius clears his throat. "Okay, er, I'll be on my way now. Mabel, you'll be discharged today?""Yeah," Mabel says, sitting up slightly in her hospital bed. "Doctor Chan says the parasites are all gone. I just have to stay away from homemade sauerkraut for now."Cassius brightens. "Oh, I love homemade sauerkraut."She laughs weakly. "I'm sorry, Alpha."Cassius turns his gaze back to me, his eyes glints with mischief. "I'll see you later this evening, yes?""Sure."The second Cassius leaves, Mabel leans over, her eyes wide as saucers. "What was that about?" she whispers loudly."What?""Did you two have sex last night?"My jaw drops. "No! We didn't! He slept on the couch—""He slept in the house?!" She clutches her hospital gown."On the couch," I raise my hands in defense. "And I slept upstairs

Trinity’s POV: Secrets, Promises And Date Night We arrive at the house with no more incident except Mabel's fury. Mabel clambers out of the truck, clutching her side making dramatic groans“For god's sake, Mabel,” I say, watching her. "I am going to my bed, and if anyone so much as breathes loudly near my door, I am summoning the Alpha to banish them," she announces. "Rest well, Mabel," Cassius calls out with a rumbling laugh, his arm over the steering wheel.We wait until Mabel trudges up the porch steps, unlocks the front door, and disappears inside. I shift in the backseat, Cassius glances at me in the rearview mirror. Then he turns his head. The amusement is out. He's giving me that delicious stare now, causing me to tickle a little. He smirks. "You're a very strange woman, Trinity," he murmurs. I brush hair out of my face. "Strange how?""You're jumping into the footwells of my truck, dodging local shopkeepers, and running around in masks like a spy in a low-budget movie.
