"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
Nick POV Stop being an idiot! My son's simple advice. If only there was a manual describing how. It's not like I could turn back time. As I poured the ice-cold vodka down my throat, I thought of how we got here and all that has happened between Sara and I. I imagined where we could be if I'd acted
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
