Not The Same Person

[Elise’s POV]

I watch in annoyance as the two disrupting rogues look around the room. When their gazes come to rest on Serenity, they are moving, confirming once again that she is definitely their target.

Not wasting any time, I begin to move, rushing toward both and grabbing them with my arms. Letting out a growl, I push forward, keeping them away from the one that they’re after.

“Don’t just stand there.” I snap when no one moves. “Fucking help me!”

In a flash, William is moving forward so fast that I almost don’t see him, and before I even know it, he is pressing his body against mine and helping me tackle the rogues to the ground.

Together, we hold them down while they fight mindlessly to get free and get to Serenity.

“Oi!” I yell, turning my gaze to Maverick. “Get your princess out of here!”
