All Chapters of Edge of Redemption: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Stepping into an almost empty hallway, I focused on breathing through my mouth so I didn’t throw up. That was when I heard the chuckle.“It really smells terrible in there.”The soft voice behind me made Ranger surge to his feet. “MATE!”Turning slowly, I took in the leggy blonde with dark eyes standing about four feet from me. Her eyes widened, and she whispered, “Mate.”I felt her wolf stir and thanked the Moon Goddess that my mate wasn’t human.I would like to say I took things slow, did the whole wine-and-dine and wooing thing with Louisa. But by the time we walked out to my Escalade, we were pretty much tearing each other’s clothes off. We marked each other right in the backseat of my vehicle in the middle of the parking lot.Afterward, I panicked. Griffin was going to flip out when he found out what I did. Louisa looked equally shocked by what had happened.“I need time, Edge. I’m not ready to move packs. But we live close enough; we can get to know each other and figure things

Draining the last of my day-old cold coffee, I drummed my fingers against the steering wheel of my old, barely running Honda. The line of vehicles in front of me had been stalled for twenty minutes, and my car was starting to make a choking, wheezing sound like an old lady who has been smoking a pack a day for the past century.Sighing as she gave one last gasp, then shuddered alarmingly before dying, I closed my eyes and prayed for the millionth time since setting off from Missouri. When I was fired from my waitressing job, I went to my mom’s new pack only to be turned away. That really hurt. I didn’t even get to see her before I was told to turn my car around and leave.For the first twelve years of my life, it had only been my mom and me. She had been seventeen when she had me. Mom had fallen hard for her best friend’s older brother. The problem was he already had a mate. But neither my mom nor dad respected mate bonds, and when she ended up pregnant, he kicked her out of the pack.

I stood back from the crowd that was gathering and tried to blend into the wall. The males were huge, the females lovely, and the pups adorable. Blanche abandoned me and picked up a small pup. The little girl hugged her and called her Aunt Blanche. I had to blink away tears at the sight. When a little girl in a wheelchair came in, followed by a handsome, dark-haired male, I was curious. She looked too young to be confined to a wheelchair. The little dark-haired girl smiled at Sonni when the luna leaned down and kissed her cheek. Once everyone started mounding their plates, Blanche came over carrying a pup.“Nova, this is Montana. She is Dallas and Levi’s daughter.” I remembered her writing about Dallas and her mates. She also mentioned Dallas’ two pups. She has actually written quite a bit about everyone in this family. I had thought she was just glossing things over. Families like the one she was describing did not exist. Seeing them in person, however, made me wonder if they migh

Nine hundred dollars a week was more than I had ever made in a single week. Even if the job only lasted a week, that was nine hundred dollars I could put toward survival. Maybe I could find another job from Friday through Monday and earn enough money to get a better car, or maybe fix the old rust bucket before I had to move on. “Um, okay. Sure, I can do that. But I’ve never been a nanny before.” I didn’t want him to think I’d worked with pups before.Edge frowned, and I knew he was going to take back his offer. Finally, he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. “It would just be until I found someone else. All you have to do is keep her entertained, help her when she needs it, cook her meals, and take her to her physical therapy appointments.”It was my turn to frown. Natalia’s wheelchair wouldn’t fit in my car. “I don’t drive a big car. Her chair won’t fit.” I looked at him and saw my hopes of a nine-hundred-dollar paycheck slipping away. Finally, he sighed. “I have a second

A lovely omega was in the kitchen on the alpha floor. She looked at Edge with a possessiveness that left no doubt in my mind that she had staked her claim. When she saw me, she made a face and sneered. "Who is she?”Edge didn’t look at either of us; he had picked up a stack of mail and was going through it.“This is Nova. She is Natalia’s new nanny.”I watched the other female’s face lose color. “Alpha, I thought I would be Nat’s new nanny.”“I hate being called Nat, and I hate you.” I blinked at the venom in Natalia’s voice.It was good to know she didn’t like her name shortened, but I was more concerned with the nastiness in her voice.“Natalia, apologize to Stephanie.” Edge glanced toward his daughter with a frown.“No.” She turned her wheelchair toward a hallway.Stephanie was glaring at me. “Lunch will be ready soon. I didn’t know there would be an extra mouth to feed, so you will have to eat downstairs.”Edge ignored her and walked toward his office. Not wanting to be near the
