Chapter 207: His Secret

[Serenity’s POV]

Eleanor stares at me in disbelief as the rogue lets out a howl and charges toward me again. It is clear from its sporadic attacks that it isn’t fully capable of forming coherent thoughts, which, in the end, would work in our favor.

This time, as Maverick pulls me again, I kick out, connecting my foot with the rogue’s temple. A whine escapes it as it sways and then shakes off the shock of my attack.

“Afraid.” Forrest growls. “Who the fuck is afraid?”
