Sara POV I recognized the two people from afar before Alex gave an excited scream behind. “Daddeee!” "Shh... Alex! Don't call out to him like that," I warned. Nick and Meg stood inches apart by the sidewalk at the project site. I quickly refocused ahead. Or tried to. Megan was still here, huh?
"He's right. It really is a short house." "Alex, go back to bed!" I yelled before adding, "Do you need something? Look, if this is about earlier, it was your idea that he calls you daddy -" "You'll get a new neighbour soon," he cuts me off. "Maybe in the coming week." I was confused as he pointe
Avery Hawke Across the street from Avery's patrol car, the camry sat idly. It was the same car from three days ago and yesterday. They weren't trying to discreet this time. Elise Reign was following him. What the f*ck did she want? Her mere presence was infuriating. Geoff, Avery's partner, was st
Add to that. I knew exactly what he meant by we are werewolves. It was only a matter of time before his pack found out. Once they did, things would take a different turn for sure. It was Friday. I decided to steal a few minutes to pick Alex up earlier and drop him at my dad's. I wanted to drive str
Cassie The alpha hadn't spoken a word to Cassie since she got into his car. He'd taken two phone calls, which the conversation sounded similar to the one he had in his office that day. She recalled how that few minutes in his office had made her follow him to this shabby town. As they entered the
“I'd like to take you home. I'll get someone to drop off your car later." Avery offered. He looked like he had more to say. "I can drop her off," Jane offered. "Then I'll have to arrest you for DUI." "I'm NOT drunk!" "You're nearly there -" "Why?" I cut in. “Why do you want to take me home? Cuz
Avery Hawke "Who told you to call him that? He's not your uncle!" Newsflash, fucker! Avery stood watching father and son. The little boy looked so confused by his father's hostile tone. It was the first time Avery stood a few feet close to Nickolas Reign since he began his project here. The ch
But she recovered quickly and broke the spell, pulling away. "So what? You're going out with him now?" I asked. "Was that after he took you to that lawyer or before then?" "I'm not even gonna ask how you knew that. It doesn't matter to me," she replied. I shouldn't have said that but I couldn't b
"Fox, right?" The Alpha asked. "How are you doing?" "I'm good, Alpha. I was passing by and remembered the announcement. I stopped to see if there's anyway I could assist at the feast tomorrow night." "That's thoughtful. I believe Richie could use your help with the warriors." Damn it! "I'll get
Kevin No matter how Kevin tried, he could not rationalize Richard Wolfe's behaviour. He could not come up with an excuse for his reaction. That male wanted his babydoll. That was the only reasonable conclusion after that redundant meeting. Kevin recalled the guy's attitude all of the times Tessa
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
