His Secret Second Chapter 118: The Danny Who Returns
(Four Weeks Later)(Danny POV)As I got off of the airplane, I took a deep breath. Goddess, it was nice to be home.Alabama had been nice, but there was no substitute for the Pacific Northwest.Smiling, I walked into the airport terminal and towards the area that Kade said he would pick me up. It had been a long six weeks.I had only been home once during that time. And even that visit was very short, just long enough for me to attend Beth’s funeral.I had originally planned to be gone just two weeks. Just long enough to get the treatment that I needed and start to stabilize. But when I went home for the funeral, it didn’t take long for me to understand how far I still had to go.Over Kade’s objection, I had contacted the treatment facility within two hours of being home and voluntarily signed up for another 30-day program. I won’t lie. The program sucked. It came with mandatory block-out periods in which I was prohibited from having any contact with the outside world. No pho
His Secret Second Chapter 117: The Truth Between Us
(Jenna POV)Nick left me alone for several minutes.Then he walked in and sat down next to me. He was holding a bottle of werewolf whiskey, and his sleeves were now rolled to his elbows, exposing his muscular forearms.“I wonder if he’ll be naked by the end of this conversation,” Willow said in our link.I forced her back.We weren’t going there.We were still mated to Danny, even if only in name.“Where did you get the whiskey?” I asked, my voice starting to slur even to my own ears.“I brought it with me. Another recommendation from Ashley. She thought you’d need it.”“I have a smart friend.”“Indeed.”Nick opened the bottle and took a swig from it.“Shouldn’t I be the one drinking that?” I asked.He gave me a look. “I’m pretty sure you are doing just fine on the human vodka.”I rolled my eyes.“Whatever,” I muttered, taking another sip.We sat there for a moment.Not talking. Not moving. Just existing.I stared at the bottle in my hand. A part of me hoped that it would give m
His Secret Second Chapter 116: The Bond That Wasn't
(Jenna POV)I returned a minute later with another, larger bottle of vodka. I didn’t even remember buying it; I was never a big drinker. But old-Jenna must have known that I needed to be prepared for a day like this.I took another shot. I had lost track of how many I was up to by this point.“Why didn’t he tell me?” I asked.I don’t know why I expected Nick to know. But he seemed to know everything else.“Tell you what?”“If he only married Beth for the insurance, why not just tell me that?”“Would you have been okay with him committing fraud?”“F&&k no. I would have tried to talk him out of it.”“Would you have stayed with him after he got married?”“Not for a sloppy second.”Nick shrugged. “That’s why. The a&&hole was an idiot, but he at least had enough sense to not want to lose you.”Okay, that did make sense, even to my drunk brain.“It’s still slimy as f&&k,” I responded.“Do you always curse this much when you are drunk?” Nick asked, with a hint of amusement in his voic
His Secret Second Chapter 115: Broken Illusions
(Jenna POV)I downed two shots of vodka before offering Nick one.I half-expected him to decline, but he didn’t. Instead, he downed a second and then a third one.I sat back down at the table across from him. Our food was long since forgotten, but the bottle of vodka was front and center.“When did you find out that Danny and Beth were married?” I asked, not wanting to wait any longer.“I knew they were planning to get married since before we met officially. They registered the marriage with the council.”I studied his face, a part of me hoping he was lying.He wasn’t.F&&k.I poured myself another shot of Vodka and swallowed it.Even though I was putting Danny behind me, the depth of his betrayal still shocked me.Especially as I slowly started to piece the timeline together.“When… when did they get married?”“You should really be asking Danny these questions.”“Danny’s not here. You are,” I snapped. “When did they get married?”Nick sighed as he removed his suit jacket and loos
His Secret Second Chapter 114: The Truth He Didn't Share
(Jenna POV)“I should have known you would come,” I sighed.He raised an eyebrow. “Disappointed?”“Not even a little bit,” Willow responded in my head.I let out a breath.“Come on in,” I said. “I would offer you something to drink, but I haven’t gone to the grocery store yet. So it’s pretty much water or alcohol.”Nick held up a bag.“Ashley predicted as much. She told me to bring food.”My stomach grumbled. I couldn’t remember the last time that I had eaten.I showed Nick the way to my dining room.As he pulled the food out of the bag, I smiled.“Burgers and fries?”“All American comfort food,” he confirmed.“Thank you,” I said gratefully.We sat down and began eating. After a while, I noticed that he was staring at me.“You don’t have to look at me like I’m a science experiment.”“You didn’t reject him.”I put my burger down.“Not yet.”“Why not?”His question was more curious than judgmental.“Lots of reasons,” I sighed.“Do you still want to be with him?”I let out a sarcas
His Secret Second Chapter 113: No Going Back
(Jenna POV)For the first two hours of our drive back to Frankfort, Mr. McMahon mostly left me alone.I simply sipped at my coffee and stared out the window.The enormity of my decision weighed on me, but not in a bad way. If anything, the further we drove away, the more sure I became that I had done the right thing.Eventually —when we were about 45 minutes away from my house— I asked Mr. McMahon what had been so urgent that he needed to talk to me.“We need to settle the lawsuit,” he replied matter-of-factly.“Okay…”If it was as easy as simply choosing to settle, I would have done so months and months ago. However, nothing about his case was easy.“How quickly can you get it done?”“Do you have $40 million dollars lying around?” I asked rhetorically.“Let’s settle it for $500,000.”I took a deep breath.“Unless you know something that I don’t know, they aren’t settling for that,” I said bluntly. “Mitchell thinks he has you by the toenails.”“That was before,” Mr. McMahon said, as
His Secret Second Chapter 32: The Aftermath
(Jenna POV)I quickly and silently left the alpha suite while Ashley and Kade fought about what he had done. I headed back to my cottage.I would stay there for the next several days, refusing to leave or answer the door. Ashley kept trying to mind-link and call me, and she even came over a few t
His Secret Second Chapter 31: The Alpha Order
(Danny POV)We were going to miss our flight if we did not leave soon.My parents were freaking out, not understanding what the delay was. I eventually told them to go on ahead of me, explaining that there was a minor issue involving the alpha king that I needed to deal with.That got them off my b
His Secret Second Chapter 29: Changing Plans
(Danny POV)Two days later, I was still reeling from the revelations about Jenna’s parents. However, there wasn’t much that we could do until Kade’s father got back and gave us some more information. Until then, all we could really do was pray that Kade was wrong about the forgery and who might h
His Secret Second Chapter 28: Kade's Worry
(Danny POV)Everyone had different reactions to the alpha king’s visit.Jenna was angry. Ashley was entertained. Kade was worried. And me? I was just flat relieved that he was gone.I had only interacted with Alpha King Connor for 5 or 6 minutes at most, but that was long enough. I got a stran
