Megan DeereMeg stood in front of the Luna's door and knocked. "Enter," she called out.Elder Damascus White was in the office when she walked in. She bowed in greeting according to Forest Moon's custom when a younger werewolf meets a council elder."You look well, dear Megan," he remarked in kind,
As Meg made her way to the ceiling to the waiting chopper, she told herself to look on the bright side, too. Today, for the first time ever, she get to ride in one of the Reign’s helicopters.****Sara POVThirty minutes after Nick and I talked, I was back at our house and getting Alex’s favourite t
Sara POVThere's a glint in Nick’s eyes, indicating that his wolf was below the surface. It gave me an odd chill for reasons I couldn't fathom. I quickly looked away, ignoring his intense gaze."Hello? Sara?" Avery called over the phone.“Uhmm... I don’t know about today,” I replied. Nick moved clos
Elise rolled her eyes and sat back as the police car pulled up in front of them. Her phone beeped at that instant and she quickly reached for it, thinking it was her son. Before she could look at the message, the same strange scent wafted by, catching her attention again. She looked out the window a
Sara POVOnce I was satisfied that little Alex was focused on his food, I went into the living room to meet Nick. He rose from the chair like he'd been waiting for me."So..." I began. "How's this supposed to work? Are we like... one big family now? I get to live here and play house with you?"“I’ll
Whoever had their hands over my mouth felt familiar. I stopped struggling when I sensed who it might be. Richard, Nick's gamma, held me pinned to the van. Another figure held my son, covering his mouth as he whispered, “Shh... it's alright." "Look!" Rich whispered, gesturing with his chin. As I f
Megan DeereAs Meg and Luna Reign drove down from the helipad, Meg already prepared herself mentally to be near Nick. They were in Orphic now and have just entered his resort. She decided that the town is as pathetic as the Luna described. It was a little too laid-back for a city she-wolf like herse
As they left the penthouse and entered the elevator, she grumbled, “I should call my son and find out why you’re all so flustered by the fact that I’m here.” Meg seconded that. She couldn’t wait to see this “accommodation” Rich was taking her to. For some reason, she knew it would be outside this r
Richard POV Tessa was still sitting with her head bowed when Nick opened the door and came out. I could tell how scared she was. I wanted to go in at once, but the Alpha was in the way. The doorway suddenly felt crowded as Jake followed behind seconds later. "Do you want me in there with you?" As
"You called me Alpha. I'm not your Alpha." I kept my head down "Do you know how he died?" He asked. "In battle." "Do you know who killed him?" The calmness slipped off his tone. "You? I think..." "That's right," he remarked. "I killed Lazarus Kai. Your birth father." The room went sile
Tessa POV Alpha Nick did not show up the same day as Jake. I sat, stood, paced about the room waiting for him. It's not like I was eager to see the Alpha who considered me his enemy. In fact, it was the opposite. I would skip that particular one-on-one if I had a choice. I only needed him to come
I asked other questions relating to Tessa and her childhood. His answers didn't give me the slightest comfort. I didn't know what questions could possibly generate answers that could ease the ache in my heart. Maybe nothing could relieve me. I wanted to see her desperately. But I also didn't want t
Richard POV When I reached the apartment block where Tessa used to live, the voices coming from the building made me stop. "I'm not surprised at all," said a not-so-familiar voice. "I always get a different vibe around her." "Lemme tell you what's different about her vibe, Koda," replied anothe
The Beta's face remained stoic as he regarded me. Then he said, "Look, don't tell anyone I told you this. We haven't found any evidence that you want revenge, so you're good. For now. No one's going to hurt you. Every wolf from your pack is being questioned just like you. They're all being held on
Tessa POV Three days had gone by since the Alpha and Beta took me into custody. Gamma Richard might as well have bound my hands when he led me out of his house that night. I had not set eyes on him since then. When they were bringing me to this cell, I considered mindlinking him. But because of th
The Alpha's question was a mere formality. He knew that as his Chief Gamma, I could not have known without telling him. 'No, Alpha,' I replied. 'I just found out.' He nodded. Then I said out loud, "Alpha, why don't I handle this-" "No," Jake cut in calmly. He rose from where he was perched an
Richard POV Tessa Nile stood a few feet from me. The night had only just begun. I was not yet done with showing her that she couldn't possibly be engaged to Kevin Fox. So when I heard the Alpha's voice, all I felt was a mild curiosity about why he was here. His words did not make any sense at all
