Jenna POV I woke up with a gasp and startled the crap out of Adam in the process. He jumped up looking around the room for the attacker. “What the hell, Jenna?” he asks as he realizes there was nothing in the room that was an immediate threat. After I caught my breath, I shared with Adam my nightmare. He was silent as he listened to me share the details of what I had experienced. “Do we assume you can now see into people’s past, if you heal them?” Adam asks me. “I do not know. I never had that with Eric or anyone else whom I have healed,” I replied. “And what about your father?” he says. “What about him?” I ask confused. “Your father claims he killed the Rogue King,” he reminds me. I realize he is correct, “Perhaps he made a mistake? I am not clear who he killed, but Eric definitely killed his father in the nightmare,” I said confidently. It had scared me to watch someone else’s life unravel in front of my own eyes. It was like I liv

Jenna POV We strategized into the night on how the meeting would go down. Adam had tried calling the number back, but as we suspected the man had used a burner phone and it was no longer in service. Adam was uncomfortable with the plan; however, we had no choice and we were running out of time. I had to meet with the individual at ten the next morning. I had tried calling my father, but I had not heard back from him yet. I was not sure what I was expecting from him. I still wanted to know why he claimed to have killed the Rogue King. And to see if he knew of anyone who might have been working with the Rogue King roughly fifteen to twenty years ago. I also had to acknowledge that with the recent history with my dad, could I trust that he would even share the truth with me. As Adam and Jack wrapped up planning with their top warriors, I felt Adam lift me and carry me up the stairs to our suite. I had been laying on the couch as they talked s

Jenna POV I try to get away from Adam scrambling on my hands and knees to get to my father. I hated him in this moment, but I did not want him to die. Adam held me back until he was certain the shooter was no longer a threat. He and Jack protected me with their bodies as we hurried to where my father had fallen. I immediately see that my father has a gun shot through the chest. I quickly role him and see that the bullet went through him. I am uncertain what might have been hit with the shot, but it is a good sign that the bullet went through him. I tell Adam so they can start looking to make sure the bullet did not strike anyone in the diner, while I go to work on my father. I do a discreet scan and see that his heart was nicked with the bullet but everything else is fine. I do a quick fix that does not require a lot of my healing efforts. I put my hand over the bullet hole and hold it there while his wolf tries to stop the bleeding. Bein

Adam POV I could not believe what I was hearing. Like this made some kind of sense to Alpha Gordon. I could feel the tension and heartbreak that Jenna was feeling. I had wrapped my arms around her, feeling her coldness in the dank dungeons. I tried to move her, but she was standing firm. She was not finished with her father. “What do you get in return for turning me and Josie over?” Jenna asks her father. He looks at her confused. “Jenna, you are safe for now. They have Josie,” he says like he has saved her. “That’s just it, I am safe for now, what happens when they need me? Are you going to kidnap me yourself?” she asks her father. “Jenna, you always were so dramatic,” her father hisses. “What is the harm in healing the men and women to help them?” he asks her. We all look at him incredulously. “You want me to heal an army of rogues who want to destroy Packs?” she asks him slowly. It is like he does not see the harm of what he is sa

Adam POV Since Jenna’s mother’s revelation that the rogues were coming for us, I have rallied our troops to get them ready for an impending attack. I have tried to reach Sam with no luck. It is unusual that I would not be able to reach him, but I had to assume he was having a good time. He was due back by the end of this week. I would worry if he did not show up then. Jenna’s mother disclosed nothing more than the statements, “I expect they will be here any time now.”. That had been a couple of days ago. Jenna had a lot of time for painstaking self-reflection during this time. Well reflection on her entire life. How parents could treat their daughter as they had was still beyond reproach to me. Jenna was also suffering thinking of Josie. Not lost on us was the fact that Eric tried to become her mate. That reflects how little everyone knew of the deceit of Jenna’s parents and the Rogue King himself. Had they known the truth, they may have avoided a
