I didn't dare turn around as Nick's alpha scent engulfed me. He had to know his mother would do this. I couldn't hope that he would take my side.It was hard to feel relieved by his sudden appearance. With my peripheral vision, I stole a glance his way as he came closer. His face was hard as stone.
I could feel Nick’s eyes on me and was starting to feel warm from his annoyance. Yet I didn’t spare him another glance as I walked away. The lady’s mouth hung open like she wanted to say something, but I didn’t have the patience to wait and hear whatever she had to say.I laid Alex on the bed in the
Sara POV“Good morning, daddy,” the child said, a happy smile coloring his eyes.“Good pup," Nick said to him. "Now why don’t go with Janice and the beta. Your mother will join you in a moment, and I'll see you soon."Jake emerged with the half-wolf nanny they hired for my son. I tightened my lips,
Avery HawkeOn the night before,The Pineapple Court suites and lodge. That’s where the strange woman was staying in town. It didn't take much for Avery to get that information. It was night-fall, and he was off-duty, so he decided to head straight there. On the way, he called his uncle to ask the
“I saw you coming out of the Pineapple’s. Are you getting orders from them or what?” he asked. The man’s jaw tightened as he directed his gaze out the window. “Did something happen, Seb? Is Sara okay?” Avery pressed.“I can’t even do anything…” Sebastian trailed off, gritting his teeth. “It was E
Elise ReignThe Luna halted on her way up the airstairs. She was overcome with that familiar stirring that she felt when she first entered this town. The feeling she caught when they were stopped by that police car. A scent accompanied it this time. One she was now acquainted with. Her breathing hi
***Sara POVThat morning, I was very busy in the office. We were out in the field with Reign’s team scoping the entire area that the park was meant to cover. Apparently, it would run through the resort, too. It was not a one-day activity. I didn’t have the time to look at the content of Nick's agr
Lindsey. That's the name of the gamma assigned to be Alex's "bodyguard." She stood watching me with annoyance for a moment. Though it seemed like she was considering my words.Moments passed before she shrugged and said,“Okay. We'll head to your father’s shop before taking you home.”"The resort i
I didn't see Richard again until I was escorted back to my apartment. As soon as I entered the building, Peyton was waiting by his door. "Yo, superstar," he called out. I hadn't seen him at all, but that's because he was not on duty tonight. He had gone to the party as a pack member with his fri
Tessa POV Richard was taking my side. I couldn't stop my heart from swelling as I fought to recall if anyone had ever done this before. Things had been quite eventful here in the Forest Moon. I hardly ever got into fights or quarrels at the former pack. And I certainly couldn't recall anyone ever t
"What happened?" I asked no one in particular. Tessa and Ivy didn't speak. Instead, both shot daggers at each other with their eyes. The two Gammas exchanged looks as each waited for the other to tell the tale. It was Grace who began speaking. "I heard the two talking in the bathroom. Then there
Richard POV The first thing I noted as I entered the party hall was Tessa Nile's absence. The Alpha, Beta and their mates were not there either. I stomped forward, looking about for Tina and Grace. The two guards were nowhere on sight, which meant they were with Tessa. She probably went to the bath
Instead of an attack, Miss Johnson forced a smile. "Like mother like daughter, huh," she seethed. "Just cuz he introduced you to the Luna, you think you'll be something more?" Another bitter laugh echoed in the bathroom as she went on, "Does he know about your master, Mister Fox. Do you still servi
Tessa POV The evening had been going too well. Knowing my luck, I should've expected something to ruin it sooner or later. As I washed my hands, I recalled the look on Kevin's face again and shuddered. The harshness in his eyes had brought Curtis Burns to mind. In that moment, I had immediately re
"You're dressed up," he said simply. "So are you. And stop calling me that!" Her curt tone confused him. She resumed walking. Wait, was she not interested in talking to him? After looking at him like that? He reached out and grabbed her arm. She yanked free. "What do you want? I'm working ri
Kevin Kevin had nearly died of relief when the Deputy Chief, Killian Forrest, reached out to assign him work. He expected to hear from Richard Wolfe himself. Apparently, the Chief didn't want to deal with him too. Kevin was more than happy to avoid dealing with him too. At least, for now. As a t
Richard appeared just as I began to wonder what I was doing in the Alpha's house. He was in his full warrior clothes. A sleeveless camouflage. It was unbuttoned, revealing tattooed bare chest and muscled abs. The matching shorts did not cover all of his toned, powerful thighs. I caught myself st
