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
Sara POV Did Nickolas Reign just say he loved me? No, that's not what he said exactly. I waited for him to go on, not daring to assume anything. His fist was clenched tight on both sides. I had learned that this meant he was nervous. It seemed like he was searching for words. I wanted to shake h
My mother kicked you out. If the pack knew, it would never end there. One or more of them would take it further and attempt more evil. You would never live in peace wherever you ran. I didn’t have warriors at my command. I was still in training. And studying to take over the family business. My da
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
