Redeemed - Wolves of Black Bird, #3 - E-book - ePub

Lawrence McDowell has already fought to save Black Bird. Now, he has to fight to stay. Lawrence McDowell does not recognize his life. He's living in a thirdhand apartment teaching Magic 101 to a Pack of wolves at the community center, and he's a member of a Coven. Weirdly enough, he doesn't hate it. In fact, there are some major upsides to living in Black Bird. One of them is the ward, a protective barrier that surrounds the territory.
It currently keeps all of Black Bird's enemies from crossing the boundary. It is a unique magical feat that he helped create. He's pretty proud of it. Unfortunately, not everyone is grateful for it. Someone is upset enough about the new feature to throw a magical Molotov cocktail into his new apartment. Luckily, his next-door neighbor manages to save his life. Considering she is a Pierce, he half expected her to let him burn.
It may go against every he's experienced, but something deep inside keeps telling him he can trust her. Julie Pierce has struggled to fit in her whole life. Now that she's found somewhere she belongs, she will fight for it. Julie Pierce does not get invited to very many girls' nights out. She doesn't have a boyfriend. Heck, not many people stop to chat on the street. She doesn't take it personally.
People are polite. They just don't want to spend too much time with her in case they accidentally draw her grandma's attention. No one wants Pearl Pierce looking too closely at them. They're not overacting. Her grandma can be downright vindictive. She tries to make up for it by being kind and helpful. Which is what got her into trouble with her neighbor. She should have ignored the guy, but now, she just had to go out of her way and be helpful.
Well, now she's more involved than she ever imagined because she has just been assigned as Lawrence McDowell's bodyguard. Grandma is going to be so mad. It might be worth it because no one has ever looked at her the way Lawrence McDowell does.
