Dawn's first light touched the fields as Richard and I made our way back inside. I could feel people arriving to begin their day. 'Good morning, Alpha,' the doctor greeted from afar. 'Doctor Caitlin Foster and the nurse are waiting to look her over.' 'I hate to wake her,' I said. 'They’ll ju
I decided to worry about that once I finished with Jeremy. I was close to his office when I called Jake. “What do you have on Colt?” “Nothing interesting. He migrated from Africa many years ago. He and the sergeant aren't blood relatives. We found that out through a DNA test.” “So why does he c
Sara POV Sunlight poured in through the window of the palatial chamber, forcing me to wake up. Memories of the previous day rushed in as I slowly opened my eyes. I considered going back to sleep to put off the day. It felt like I was soaked in the Alpha's scent. The ache between my thighs was odd
"Hi. Good morning," I greeted awkwardly. "Good morning." Silence. We were both waiting for the other to speak. "Where are you?" I asked him. "In Orphic. I had to quickly come here to... ah... see someone." "Lindsey is keeping me in your room!" "Yeah. It's temporary, I promise. I need you to sta
As she approached, Lindsey waited by the door. Soon, she sat across from me and gave the guard a disapproving glare. "I'm here on the Alpha's direct orders, Luna," Lindsey said. "I went to fetch her myself for Goddess sake. What? Does he think I'll eat her before he gets back?" Lindsey ignored t
Nick POV Coincidence! That's all it was. Eerie as hell, but still a coincidence. My mother couldn't be the she-wolf that bore the sergeant. If she were, that would make us brothers. That was nothing short of preposterous. Even as I thought these things, my head was spinning from what I'd just lea
The Chief regarded me with terror as I laughed. I had nearly killed that guy. My own blooded brother? Only yesterday, I sat meditating on how to go about removing him from this world. How could the Luna do this? I matched out of the Chief’s study and headed out. He kept calling after me throug
Sara POV I rose from the sofa as the Alpha's presence grew stronger. The fact that I could now sense him from such a distance despite all the walls was somewhat thrilling. But I refused to let that weaken my resolve. I sucked in a deep breath to brace myself as silent footsteps approached from th
The session went on for two hours while Richard and I kept locking eyes. I was extremely satisfied with myself for saying no to Kevin in front of him. I hoped he wouldn't ask me about that night ever again. Because I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I got carried away by the mere thought of
Tessa POV The day of the hearing arrived. It was the day after Richard's visit. I woke up, washed up and got ready before full daylight. When the beep sounded on the door, I quickly rose to drink some water, then waited eagerly to be led out. Grace stood between the door jamb when the door opene
"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
