“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

"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 sight of the joggers had me frozen on the spot until the sound of flesh slapping on flesh grew too appalling to bear. As I started to back away, Miss Suarez lifted her head and our gazes met. I couldn't decide if the sound that came out of her in that moment was shock or another moan. I turned
