'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
*** The full moon was a few days from now. The air was filled with the usual excitement. Mingled with it was the anticipation for what I had to say to my people. With Claris' help, Janice had dressed Alex like a little Alpha prince. Forest Moon's imperial badge was pinned above his left breast. T
Monday of the Full Moon. Mid morning. I took the day off from everyone and everything to spend time alone. It was the day of the Full Moon. Sara had ignored all of my calls and texts since she got back to town. She would wait for me in the woods later at dusk. How I ached to hold her again. As
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
