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
**** Evening. Sara's call came into my phone at 6 PM. "Hi, how are you?" I sincerely wanted her to answer that question. But she ignored it and said, "So we'll meet at the woods in thirty minutes. Near my house." "Why don't I pick you up for dinner at 6:30. Let's spend the evening at a nice
The next day began like another ordinary day. The events of last night returned the moment I came awake. It felt like a bittersweet dream rather than a real occurrence, though I was sure it happened. I resolved to put it out of my mind as I went about my day. "Eyes on your goal, Tess," I mumbled
Tessa POV My mind was blank from the shock of what was happening. My body, however, had no concept of shock at the moment. All it knew was that my face was cupped in Richard Wolfe's large hands, and he was kissing me. His grip was hard, and the kiss started harsh. The will to push him off was non
I took a sip from my glass and refocused on the girl before me. Perfect body. This should erase all images of the stray wolf from my head once and for all. Peyton Day. That omega was brought in with her. According to him, the two of them did serve the Fox's household. Two orphans. "Will you lik
Richard POV The Avalanche Night Club was not directly affiliated with Reigns Group. It was a child of one of the pack's retail subsidiaries. Nick always hated the place because she-wolves worked there sometimes. The type of females that tripped over themselves at the sight of an Alpha or any othe
"She had to start work immediately cuz she kept making trouble! I'm not sure where they took her, but she should be back before nightfall." "I see. Thanks." What kind of trouble? Tessa was a docile she-wolf. Was it outside the pack or within. Looking for her was bad enough. He didn't want the Liv
Kevin Kevin Fox always comsidered himself a proud male of worth. Any other wolf, for instance, Curtis Burns, would have continued to pretend they didn't know Tessa Nile. Not only was she of low birth, but she belonged to the class of wolves that people like him didn't publicly associate with. How
"I'm not a spy, Chief," I said earnestly. "You saw me that day, remember?" "Which day? Same day that warrior attacked you over a scent blocker?" "He didn't attack me because of the scent blocker. He propositioned me before then and I refused. He attacked me earlier that day too. Kev, I mean... the
Tessa POV My fears dissolved when I saw Vivi and Peyton emerged from their rooms too. Either the two also did something wrong or I had nothing fear. The bags they carried meant that I was not the only one getting moved out of here. I avoided looking directly at Richard as much as I could. When my
Morning came sooner than I wanted it to. Though it was a new day, I was filled with anxiety about the result of yesterday's errors. I had very little sleep and had only began to doze off when the first light of dawn poured in through the small window. I heard whispers outside as a male came to relie
