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 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
Sara POV The next morning, I was determined to be normal. It was a new day. Yesterday never happened as far as I was concerned. It was also time to get back home. Thankfully, my duties for the day were at the site instead of the office. I decided that I would trust Nick for now and not worry ab
He recalled the curvy she-wolf and decided that he would have to make do with her. This was just to let off steam, so he nodded at his uncle's words. "Thanks, uncle." "Go on home, then. She'll meet you in ten minutes." **** As promised, ten minutes later, the door bell rang. Kevin simply stood u
Kevin Kevin chose not to believe Tessa's words. She was talking like a drama queen right now. This was nothing but her grudge speaking. She-wolves got like this when they were hurt. He stepped back from her and breathed, "Boy, can you hold a grudge. It's been what, two whole months? You need to l
"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
