Alex sat with his favorite teddy clutched to his chest, allowing Doctor Raul to do his thing. On the other side of the room, a nurse treated my bruises, which was taking forever to heal. The ointment stung a bit, but the pain didn’t feel like mine. I was focused on the little boy a few feet away. H
“What happened this morning?” Nick asked gently. There was no trace of malice in his tone. Instead, there was curiousity. He really wanted to know. I already prepared my reply for when he blamed me. The whole thing was my fault, after all. I went over it in my head before speaking. “Alex was upse
Nick’s POV “He still won't wake up and now the doc said he's gone into a coma!” Jake announced with a scowl. “Well, tell the doctor to drag him back out then!” I replied. “That’s not how it works, alpha,” Rich said. He stood glowering at me with his back leaning against my office door. “I nee
My phone started to buzz again. It was my mother this time. I turned the screen face down, but Jake already saw the caller. The she-wolf became a caller after my dad died. Before that, it was strictly texting. “I need to handle business back in the city,” I said idly. My mind had drifted again. Sa
Sara POV I tried to blink away the grogginess as Jake led me away. I still felt weak and sleepy but had to force myself to leave that heavenly bed. I missed Alex and my dad. Seeing them both, holding them would make me sure that this nightmare was over. That guard, Oak or something. He had never a
As I entered the hall, the housekeeper was waiting. "Your room is ready, Miss James," she announced with a smile. "But the Alpha wants me to tell you that you're welcome to return to his bed if you want." "I'll use my, I mean the room," I replied. "Thank you." Moments later, I had changed into th
Richard didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't know the whole story. If he did, he wouldn't say it was all about protecting me. But I wish he hadn't mentioned it. Because now, my mind was more scattered than ever. I didn’t need this battle of struggling not to think of things from Nick's
"Got it." We said our good nights and hung up. Jeremy Colt was the last person I called. My conversation with him only increased my resentment for Nick. How could he have gone to my workplace to threaten my boss? People have lost their jobs for far less. “He thought I ran off with his son, that'
The next day began like another ordinary day. The events of last night returned the moment I came awake. It felt like a bittersweet dream rather than a real occurrence, though I was sure it happened. I resolved to put it out of my mind as I went about my day. "Eyes on your goal, Tess," I mumbled
Tessa POV My mind was blank from the shock of what was happening. My body, however, had no concept of shock at the moment. All it knew was that my face was cupped in Richard Wolfe's large hands, and he was kissing me. His grip was hard, and the kiss started harsh. The will to push him off was non
I took a sip from my glass and refocused on the girl before me. Perfect body. This should erase all images of the stray wolf from my head once and for all. Peyton Day. That omega was brought in with her. According to him, the two of them did serve the Fox's household. Two orphans. "Will you lik
Richard POV The Avalanche Night Club was not directly affiliated with Reigns Group. It was a child of one of the pack's retail subsidiaries. Nick always hated the place because she-wolves worked there sometimes. The type of females that tripped over themselves at the sight of an Alpha or any othe
"She had to start work immediately cuz she kept making trouble! I'm not sure where they took her, but she should be back before nightfall." "I see. Thanks." What kind of trouble? Tessa was a docile she-wolf. Was it outside the pack or within. Looking for her was bad enough. He didn't want the Liv
Kevin Kevin Fox always comsidered himself a proud male of worth. Any other wolf, for instance, Curtis Burns, would have continued to pretend they didn't know Tessa Nile. Not only was she of low birth, but she belonged to the class of wolves that people like him didn't publicly associate with. How
"I'm not a spy, Chief," I said earnestly. "You saw me that day, remember?" "Which day? Same day that warrior attacked you over a scent blocker?" "He didn't attack me because of the scent blocker. He propositioned me before then and I refused. He attacked me earlier that day too. Kev, I mean... the
Tessa POV My fears dissolved when I saw Vivi and Peyton emerged from their rooms too. Either the two also did something wrong or I had nothing fear. The bags they carried meant that I was not the only one getting moved out of here. I avoided looking directly at Richard as much as I could. When my
Morning came sooner than I wanted it to. Though it was a new day, I was filled with anxiety about the result of yesterday's errors. I had very little sleep and had only began to doze off when the first light of dawn poured in through the small window. I heard whispers outside as a male came to relie
