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
Sara POVThe next day, I gave Alex his morning bath in a ridiculously sophisticated bathroom. After preparing him for school, we were both ready to begin the day earlier than the usual time. Except for the feeling of being watched, I saw no sign of Nick before leaving his penthouse suites.According
Sara POVAvery Hawke didn't give me a chance to refuse or come up with an excuse. He quickly opened the door and sat inside his patrol car to wait for me. When I hesitated, he arched his brow and motioned with his chin for me to get in.'This isn't a date. We're just getting dessert together,' I tol
Elise ReignThe Luna stood shell shocked at the two people standing in front of her. She held her breath diligently, trying her best to hide the horror she was feeling at that instant. As the police officer addressed her, something tugged at her heartstrings."I know you," he said, his voice a mere
It was hard to clear the air while avoiding telling him that the date at Meat cafe was an attempt to use Kevin to escape. The same way I tried to use him. "So you didn't want to be in his house, that's why you came to see me for another seduction." A part of me was glad that he figured that out o
Tessa POV The walls were too thick to hear the conversation between Richard and Kevin. But it was easy to guess why the latter had come here. He wanted me to report for work in his household and was here to get the Chief Gamma to make it happen. What would Richard's response be? If he knew that wa
"I'm here because of her." Kevin's tone grew serious as he went on, "You see, yesterday, she was supposed to report at my house. Then I learned that you needed her to run some errands outside. I was pretty shocked." So you stalked her all the way to the tower, huh? He hesitated before continuing
Richard POV "Who did you say?" I didn't mean for my tone to take on an edge. I could feel Tessa's odd look as the servant replied, "Mister Fox. The chief-elder's nephew." The irritation rose inside me like a tidal wave. Kevin Fox? In my house? How dare him come here? I considered telling Tyres
The butler turned around and urged me back inside. As we reentered the living room, I was about to ask if this was Mrs Wolfe's house when something distracted all of my senses. My eyes moved in the direction of the distraction. Richard Wolfe emerged at the top of the stairs, climbing down leisurely
Tessa POV I had not the slightest interest in what was in Kevin's note, so I didn’t even try to beg Tina to let me see it. He was partly to blame for all of my problems. If he hadn't tried to get me back into his employ like old times, maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have been in a hurry to run away.
Kevin was appalled. "Listen to me, mother. Stay the hell out of s£× life, what the hell!" "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You need this and there's nothing wrong with that." As his mother spoke, his gaze unwittingly moved to the one without a mask. She pushed the jacket over her shoulder
Kevin After that episode with the wrongful warning, Kevin had always suspected that Richard Wolfe didn't really like him. Yesterday, he became sure that this was the case. He had gone over all of their interactions again and again and still could not determine why? The first time they met, the
Richard POV I grabbed a pillow, putting it over my head as my mother opened the door and entered uninvited. Dawn had arrived, judging from the light seeping through the curtain. I had barely gotten any sleep. "What's this I hear, Richie?" "What did you hear, mother?" I drawled. "You know what!"
