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
“Richard did what?" As I spoke, my gamma appeared at the top of the stairs. I all but flew towards him, slamming him against the wall. "You should be in L.A, Richard. Are you still here because of Sara?" His eyes bore into mine but he refused to struggle against the tight grip on his throat. My c
"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
