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
Nick POV“This is a surprise, mother, and not a very pleasant one! I'm rather busy," I said to the Luna. She shouldn't be in Orphic at all. Not right now.My driver pulled over a few feet from the curb where Sara stopped. A simple middle-class neighbourhood with picket fence in some houses. The smal
“Is he my daddy?” Alex asked Jake first before redirecting the question to his mother."Mommy, is he my daddy?" His tone and manner was so innocent and simple that he might as well have been asking if that was a watch on my wrist.Sara took a deep breath while I held mine. I waited for her to answer
I'd ended up in this motel around 1 AM after hours of running and hiding. Which I was beginning to believe was redundant. I'd sat, shaking my legs, waiting for the Alpha wolf to knock on the door. Oh, he would knock, no doubt. He seemed like the posh, well-mannered type. The boring, peaceful sou
Penny listened to the Luna with kin interest, her lips parted slightly. Kevin decided he hated the nursing job too. Because she could run into her former customers while in the medical house. His gut settled down a bit as the Luna went on with other suggestions. "If you don't like that, there's
Kevin Kevin waited by the shrub far from the mansion until he was sure that Tessa and Richard had left the building. Penny was in there too. He'd called the reception earlier, and they confirmed that she had arrived. He had been mildly shocked that she didn't refuse this meeting. Her tone was
Richard POV For the next few seconds, Alpha Jet looked like he was staring at a ghost. Then, the color gradually returned to his face as he recovered, though he didn't look away from Tessa. Raven. That's what he just called her. Clearly, he had her mixed up with someone else. But that didn't give
Later that morning, Richard and I walked into the Chamber of Oaths where the Alpha and his family were already waiting. The candles of various colors gave sufficient light to the vast room. The smell of incense and beeswax filled the vast space. Richard led me to stand before the Alpha and his he
Tessa POV I opened my eyes to the sunlight dripping into the vast bedchamber through the curtains. It was the morning after my release. As I came awake gradually, I started to think that I dreamt the events of the last few days. That Richard Wolfe was not my fated mate. Last night was just a swee
"So who and who did you service these last few weeks?" He blurted the question. "What do you care?" She snapped again. "What do I care? Are those the only words you know?" "Kevin, shut up. Let the elder finish talking," his cousin said. He couldn't believe he was getting told to shut up by his
Kevin It is the morning after the full moon and Kevin is sitting in his living room, staring at his phone, unable to tear his eyes away from the social media post before him. The coffee taste in his mouth had gone very bitter. His stomach twisted and he felt like throwing up. Uncle Evan and his
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
