Just when he was starting to outgrow that fantasy, his mother had entered his life. The great Elise Reign. Her mate, the enemy, already passed to the stars. The people he left behind were the woman who bore him and her other children. How he wanted to hurt the older she-wolf. But he didn't know how
Sara POV We reached the resort within a half hour as Nick hurriedly led me to his private elevator. As we got to the penthouse, Jake stood by the door, waiting. He gave a slight bow. A smile played in his eyes as he greeted, "Hello, Miss James. Welcome." I frowned, still unaccustomed to his f
I expected him to sit back after the surprise kiss but he didn't. Images flashed in my mind. Him, sweeping the dishes off the table with his large hand, lifting and setting me on top of it to claim me right there. When he started speaking again, I watched his lips, unable to look anywhere else. "
Sara POV "You should be with Lily. Why are you here?" The Alpha's voice assumed its usual tone. The type that made you flinch if you were on the other end of the conversation. "I had to come. It's important," Elise replied, matching his tone. Then she switched to mindlink as her eyes moved from
Nick smiled inwardly. I felt his pride as I spoke and it boosted my confidence. I could feel Elise's eyes on me too. The older Alpha's eyes grew hard from annoyance. He did expected me to lower my head like an omega. Fixing his face quickly, he smiled as his eyes held mine. "Tell me what you heard
Sara POV Avery's eyes were on us as Nick began to slow the car. "Nick, I don't think he's following us. Maybe he's here to see the Luna," I said. "And why the hell is he wearing my clothes?" He stopped the car with Avery only a few yards away. How could the sergeant possibly lay hands on his cl
It was past 11 PM when Nick pulled into our driveway. Shadows moved among the trees beyond our house. They were his warriors. I felt him scanning the place and mindlinking the guards as we got out of the car. Moments later, we entered the humble living room. Lorenzo and Janice rose to their feet
Nick POV "Avery is not your enemy, Nick," Sara said softly. "He's your brother." I wasn't referring to the sergeant when I said possible enemy. But it's a good thing she thought I was. It meant her mind was off our visitor now. "I guess you're right. He's not an enemy," I replied with a shrug.
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
