Sara looked scared as she rushed towards a beat-up Hyundai. She started to open the door when she froze. Her senses must've told her that someone was watching because she turned around abruptly. Thank Goddess for the large pickup truck driving past sluggishly. She would've seen me across the road.W
I feel a lump rise in my throat as I watched her get out of the car. The fact that she isn't married didn't mean there wasn't someone in her life. At least, it looks like there's a child.Other cars are parked at the school's driveway as children race out to meet their mothers or fathers. Most of th
Sara POVI couldn’t see my father during lunch as planned, but I was so glad the day was finally over. We would talk as soon as He's done with this round of customers."Jeremy gave me too much work when we got back from the business meeting," I explained. "I feel like he suspects something."My dad
Nick turned his back on me and stomped back to the SUV, parked some feet from the truck. Jake followed quickly behind him. My heart continued to hammer in my chest as I watched them both.He opened the driver’s side and sat down. But he didn’t attempt to start the engine. Instead, he seemed to be ba
As my son greeted Nick, his face immediately transformed into a shock that mirrored my one. Except his eyes were colored with joyful triumph. Two men approached the porch from behind him.I grabbed Alex’s hand, forcing it back down. “What did I say about talking to strangers?”“I saw him yesterday.
“You were going to run away with my child?" he began. "I should make you pay dearly for that! It's bad enought that -"“I already told you. He’s not yours!” I cut him off.“Cut the crap, Sara! The boy recognized me-”“Alex is a good-natured, friendly kid. That's he waved at you. It doesn’t mean he k
Nick POVMy eyes would not leave the back of Richard's head. In another situation, he would've known I was watching him. His senses would've picked it up if they weren't clouded from touching Sara.I kept smoothing the child's back to calm my own rising temper. Different thoughts play in my mind as m
Sara POVThe name of the place is spelt "Rain resort," according to the little paper in my hand. It definitely belonged to Nick. As I sped on behind them, I realized how far in the outskirt of Orphic town I've come. A precise forty-minutes drive from our house. Which means the resort is only ten min
He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. "So please, I beg of you, let's put the past behind us. Don't say you can't stay with me. We belong together." I nodded. Then he bent to kiss me on the lips as I began to speak, "I want to stay with you..." "I love the sound of that." He stole his ki
Tessa POV "And you say Goddess can't be generous..." Alpha Nick's voice cut through the whispers. Followed by the Beta's. "I should've put money on this, damn it!" As much as people's voices rose all around us, out loud and in the mind realm, everything faded into the background as Richard wal
'Stay right there, Richard!' The Alpha's warning came through the mindlink, making me realize that I'd risen from the bench and was about to go to Tessa. 'Be patient,' he added. 'So we can get this over with.' It was Jane Carlisle who forced me to sit back down as she pulled me by my jacket. 'G
I had six cups of those in Nick's study. No effect. The doctor said he would return in two hours with the test results. Nothing would keep me here in this house until then. I would be in the House of Judgement then. At twenty minutes to sunset, I took the warm towel off my forehead and flung it
Kevin decided that the girl was mistaken. No. She was lying. People didn't get pregnant that fast and easy. "I can't smell it!" He said lamely. "Cuz it's twenty-three days and not eight weeks old yet!" She replied in an edge. All of the implications of the news hit Kevin one after the other as
Tessa would've agreed to be his mistress back then. She was humble and knew her place in the olden days. Not anymore though. Now, the girl was a proud she-wolf. Why? Because of the thieving Chief, that's why! He let her mingle with other proud, elite females. This new Tessa would demand to be the o
Kevin In the afternoon of the day of the full moon, Kevin decided to go to the Meat cafe to chill by himself. He needed some fresh air after hiding indoors out of shame for so long. They were no longer on house arrest. Though he and his mother weren't allowed outside the pack until the verdict was
The session went on for two hours while Richard and I kept locking eyes. I was extremely satisfied with myself for saying no to Kevin in front of him. I hoped he wouldn't ask me about that night ever again. Because I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I got carried away by the mere thought of
Tessa POV The day of the hearing arrived. It was the day after Richard's visit. I woke up, washed up and got ready before full daylight. When the beep sounded on the door, I quickly rose to drink some water, then waited eagerly to be led out. Grace stood between the door jamb when the door opene
