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
“Enough!" He snapped. "Just get the keys like you said. We’re done talking.” He retreated into the cell and sank down to the wet, dirty floor. The Luna stood quiet for a few long moments before she turned away and ascended the stairs. *** At some point while Avery was waiting for the keys, he
Avery Hawke At the sound of the Luna's voice, the girl stopped abruptly and lowered her head. "Hello, Luna Reign." At the same time, Avery felt brisk footsteps rushing towards them. He expected guards. But it was the Alpha's own beta and gamma who approached. "Aylin!" The beta called out. "When
'Tell him to release him, Nick,' I pleaded silently. 'He was going to attack me. That could get him killed here, Sara,' he replied. 'Tell him to release him,' I repeated. He gave Richard a look, who immediately stood up. Avery forced himself to rise. I could tell he was afraid yet determined.
Sara POV "No. Stop, Avery. I'm not leaving with you. He's not holding me against my will. How long have you known he's your brother?" As I asked again, I turned around to look at Nick. He stood by the door, watching the both of us. "It doesn't matter, Sara," Avery replied impatiently. "How can y
I'd ended up in this motel around 1 AM after hours of running and hiding. Which I was beginning to believe was redundant. I'd sat, shaking my legs, waiting for the Alpha wolf to knock on the door. Oh, he would knock, no doubt. He seemed like the posh, well-mannered type. The boring, peaceful sou
Penny listened to the Luna with kin interest, her lips parted slightly. Kevin decided he hated the nursing job too. Because she could run into her former customers while in the medical house. His gut settled down a bit as the Luna went on with other suggestions. "If you don't like that, there's
Kevin Kevin waited by the shrub far from the mansion until he was sure that Tessa and Richard had left the building. Penny was in there too. He'd called the reception earlier, and they confirmed that she had arrived. He had been mildly shocked that she didn't refuse this meeting. Her tone was
Richard POV For the next few seconds, Alpha Jet looked like he was staring at a ghost. Then, the color gradually returned to his face as he recovered, though he didn't look away from Tessa. Raven. That's what he just called her. Clearly, he had her mixed up with someone else. But that didn't give
Later that morning, Richard and I walked into the Chamber of Oaths where the Alpha and his family were already waiting. The candles of various colors gave sufficient light to the vast room. The smell of incense and beeswax filled the vast space. Richard led me to stand before the Alpha and his he
Tessa POV I opened my eyes to the sunlight dripping into the vast bedchamber through the curtains. It was the morning after my release. As I came awake gradually, I started to think that I dreamt the events of the last few days. That Richard Wolfe was not my fated mate. Last night was just a swee
"So who and who did you service these last few weeks?" He blurted the question. "What do you care?" She snapped again. "What do I care? Are those the only words you know?" "Kevin, shut up. Let the elder finish talking," his cousin said. He couldn't believe he was getting told to shut up by his
Kevin It is the morning after the full moon and Kevin is sitting in his living room, staring at his phone, unable to tear his eyes away from the social media post before him. The coffee taste in his mouth had gone very bitter. His stomach twisted and he felt like throwing up. Uncle Evan and his
He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. "So please, I beg of you, let's put the past behind us. Don't say you can't stay with me. We belong together." I nodded. Then he bent to kiss me on the lips as I began to speak, "I want to stay with you..." "I love the sound of that." He stole his ki
