Bab 145: A Visit From The Dead

[Rosco's POV]

“Do you really think it was a good idea to send Elise of all people to fetch Maria?”

For most of the morning since Elise, William, and Marty’s departure, this question has bothered me. I wasn’t sure if Denali even thought anything of it since she chose to trust Elise, but even if she was willing to overlook things, I wasn’t.

“Why wouldn’t it be?” Denali asks, looking down at me as I use her lap as a pillow.

Since I had some business to attend to, she decided to keep me company, but after about an hour of going through paperwork, preparing for yet another funeral, and a few other things, I needed a break and decided to take advantage of my mate being with me.

“She was part of that trafficking ring,” I point out. "And Maria and her son were among those in the dungeon."

At my words, Denali’s expression shifts from at ease to something more, but before I can fully determine what it is she was feeling, it goes back to at ease.
