“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
Twenty-minutes later, I kissed my son's cheek while the jet waited behind me. "Be good, alright," I whispered. "Listen to daddy. And don't talk to strangers." He nodded. "See you tomorrow." Nick watched me silently as I started to climb up the stairs. He seemed confused about what to say. The fa
As I spoke, there was a sound outside, and my attention shifted. "It's the sergeant. He wants to talk to you," my dad informed. "I don't want to see him." "That's ok. I'll tell him to leave." **** The rest of the week didn't get any faster as I waited for Monday. I couldn’t decide if I was ea
A few days ago. Nick POV Somehow, I knew it was not wise to try to talk Sara out of her resolve yet. She was angry, frustrated and confused. Plus, I was unsure what to say to make things right between us. So I stayed silent till she got on the jet, telling myself to give her time. I quickly retur
He recalled the curvy she-wolf and decided that he would have to make do with her. This was just to let off steam, so he nodded at his uncle's words. "Thanks, uncle." "Go on home, then. She'll meet you in ten minutes." **** As promised, ten minutes later, the door bell rang. Kevin simply stood u
Kevin Kevin chose not to believe Tessa's words. She was talking like a drama queen right now. This was nothing but her grudge speaking. She-wolves got like this when they were hurt. He stepped back from her and breathed, "Boy, can you hold a grudge. It's been what, two whole months? You need to l
"Fox, right?" The Alpha asked. "How are you doing?" "I'm good, Alpha. I was passing by and remembered the announcement. I stopped to see if there's anyway I could assist at the feast tomorrow night." "That's thoughtful. I believe Richie could use your help with the warriors." Damn it! "I'll get
Kevin No matter how Kevin tried, he could not rationalize Richard Wolfe's behaviour. He could not come up with an excuse for his reaction. That male wanted his babydoll. That was the only reasonable conclusion after that redundant meeting. Kevin recalled the guy's attitude all of the times Tessa
It was hard to clear the air while avoiding telling him that the date at Meat cafe was an attempt to use Kevin to escape. The same way I tried to use him. "So you didn't want to be in his house, that's why you came to see me for another seduction." A part of me was glad that he figured that out o
Tessa POV The walls were too thick to hear the conversation between Richard and Kevin. But it was easy to guess why the latter had come here. He wanted me to report for work in his household and was here to get the Chief Gamma to make it happen. What would Richard's response be? If he knew that wa
"I'm here because of her." Kevin's tone grew serious as he went on, "You see, yesterday, she was supposed to report at my house. Then I learned that you needed her to run some errands outside. I was pretty shocked." So you stalked her all the way to the tower, huh? He hesitated before continuing
Richard POV "Who did you say?" I didn't mean for my tone to take on an edge. I could feel Tessa's odd look as the servant replied, "Mister Fox. The chief-elder's nephew." The irritation rose inside me like a tidal wave. Kevin Fox? In my house? How dare him come here? I considered telling Tyres
The butler turned around and urged me back inside. As we reentered the living room, I was about to ask if this was Mrs Wolfe's house when something distracted all of my senses. My eyes moved in the direction of the distraction. Richard Wolfe emerged at the top of the stairs, climbing down leisurely
