Cassie was waiting anxiously. She could sense our heated conversation. I was too furious to say anything more to her. Reaching for my phone, I started to type a text to Jake immediately. Cassie’s little public announcement must never see the light of day. If it had, he needed to take down the new
Nick POV As my mother advanced, Cassie looked like she would cower. But she maintained her poise with her head lowered. Controling her breathing had grown difficult now. Her chest rose and fell involuntarily. "Tell her what I mean, Miss White, why don't you?" "I-I'm not shh-sure, Alpha," she st
"Mother, let the warriors take it from here, please." I grabbed her arm, but she yanked free, landing another hard blow Cassie’s jaw. Deciding I didn’t want to be the one to pause the beating, I signalled to Mae to do what she intended. It was a struggle. "Luna, we'll take it from here. Please!
Nick POV "It's on Wolve-net," Jake announced as soon as I met with him. "That means some pack members already saw it. I've prepared a statement for that. Also, the news of Cassie's arrest- “But Sara won't see it, will she? I cut him off. Most omegas didn’t go near that part of the dark web. Th
Sara raised her head to look at his face. and started to turn around. Maybe she sensed my presence, I would never know. She seemed nonplussed as our eyes locked. "Nick!" "I wanted to talk to you," I said. "Let me take you home. It's late." She looked at Sergeant Brave with a frown as he started
Sara POV I was no longer pinned against the open door. Nick’s large arms enveloped me as his low grunt resonated in my ear. When he slowed the kiss moments ago, his eyes had that fierce shimmer that hinted at what was about to follow. Yet I couldn't bring myself to push him away. When his lips
Sara POV "I'm not engaged." I refused to think of that little announcement. It had nothing to do with me. There's nothing between Nick and I. Except our son, of course. You belong to me. I did. A long time ago. Before you rejected me and literally ripped my heart out. I don't belong to you ANYM
“You’re on Wolve-net socials, aren’t you? You saw the news of his engagement.” “Yeah, I did,” he replied gently. The line was silent again before I spoke. "But it's gone as soon as it was posted." "What do you mean gone?" "Just vanished." Whatever with that. “I just need to see Avery and make su
"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
