His eyes remained on the kid.“You should be more submissive and agreeable now, don't you think?"Then his eyes lifted and fixed on mine as he added,"Be careful how you address my alpha around me OR anyone else!”When he reached out to touch Alex’s cheek affectionately, I pulled my son away from hi
Nick POVI had my cell phone to my ear, giving instructions to Richard about pack's security when my Ipad buzzed again. It was another message about her.The mother of my child left the resort moments ago. She didn't leave with our son. Instead, she'd called her regular human babysitter to watch hi
Cassie White"You just said you can't leave yet?"As Alpha Nick's gaze met Cassie's, she recalled their teenage days and how he used to be."I also said something’s just come up!" His tone was impatient.The look in his eyes caused alarm bells to go off in her head. This was how he looked at those s
How could Sara not even sense me? I was outraged.Rich’s guys were across the street. They picked up my presence the moment I pulled into the curb.Apart from being a half-blood, that police man had a strong air of familiarity around him. I knew him from somewhere, no doubt. But where?That thought
Sara POVMrs. Montgomery was acquainted with the Reigns. She advised that the details on Nick's agreement were not "so bad considering the fact that he's an ex."The situation was a shared custody. I would have full and equal access to Alex. The only problem was the fact that the child must live whe
The sound of feet stomping up the stairs pulled me out of the spell. I pushed him away, and he stepped back. His hand dropped clumsily on his side. Then he cleared his throat and started to speak.“What you signed is void now cuz you showed it to your pathetic human friend. You’ll get another one in
My son’s new room had been transformed into a child’s dream. Toys and stuff bears were neatly arranged in the corner. Even the somewhat large bed was taken out. What sat in its place was a small fancy one for a growing child. The walls too were redone with bright colors.I stood speechless, unable t
At first, Cassie was confused by the former rogue's words."You're mistaken, Bronco," she said. "Is the alpha upstairs?""Please call me Oak. I don't go by Bronco anymore. And yes, the alpha is upstairs," he replied."Then take me to him!" She started to turn away when he replied."We have to let hi
"Oh, yeah," she nodded eagerly. How could the Luna entertain this? I continued on my way, stomping past them. "I'm going back to work!" "Me too," Jake said. Thank Goddess, Tessa couldn't hear us from up there. Once we reached the door, I halted as a thought occured. What if my mother begged Sar
Richard POV "Are you here to see my Luna?" Nick asked Mrs Wolfe. He still held Sara's hand as they continued down the stairs. Then his cellphone began to ring. "Oh, yes, Alpha," she replied. "Although, I was looking for Richie, too. I heard he came here." "Is it urgent? I'm afraid you may have
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
