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
But you have to believe that I would never take him from you. I want... my family. I want you." He stood tensed, fists clenched on both sides. Maybe waiting for me to say something. I could hear his rapid heartbeat. His anxiety and sorrow were mine too. It was almost overwhelming. But what could h
Avery Hawke Avery had spoken to Sebastian before he got on the plane. Apparently, the old male received a note from the Luna and planned to fly there if he didn't hear from Sara within a day. Did Sara have that time? He claimed there would be some ceremonious cleansing before she's presented to t
As much as I wanted to do everything she wished, undoing the bond was out of the question. Looking back it was still hard to see how we could’ve had any other relationship other than a contractual one. The only other option was Jake's advise. To protect her by never getting involved with her. Whi
Avery Hawke As the Alpha entered their midst, Avery couldn't help but wonder for the second time - Why did he feel much more familiar in this territory than in the small town? Richard Wolfe, his Chief Warrior, was with him. The male whose fist was responsible for shifting Avery's left cheek out of
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
