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
For a brief moment, I pictured him living here. With Nick’s declaration about him inheriting the Reign empire, I knew that this was my child's future home. Yes, we would continue to have joint custody. But soon, Alex would come to think of this place as another home. Like he was quick to do with t
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
