'Jake, Jake!' I barked, rushing to his side. 'Hm?' He jerked his gaze in my direction. It seemed like he was struggling to shake off the panic. His eyes returned to the half-blood sleepwalker, heading our way. 'Hey, Jake, look at me,' I urged. 'Get it together. She's walking while asleep. Nothing
I recalled his panic-stricken face and nearly burst out laughing. But I swallowed a deep breath, pursing my lips. It was too soon to make fun of him. He still seemed shaken. "You should get laid," I muttered. "Why not call Misha once we're done from here. Or that other female." He ignored the uns
Sara POV "Jane, are you alright? You seem distracted." 'And jumpy.' We were sitting across from each other at Molly's diner. "Okay, I'm about to tell you something. Do not freak out and do not look," she began. "There’s a guy sitting near the window in a navy blue jacket. He's following us."
"Hey, why's Kylie Jenner over there looking at us? Actually, she's looking at you?" "Kylie who? Should I turn and look?" I asked jokingly. I knew she was referring to the new arrivals. She definitely was not feeling alright. Last night must've been hard on her. As she gave me a dirty look and ge
"You sure you're not saying that cuz of girls code?" "Nope. I don’t have any lingering feelings, I assure you. My heart is bound somewhere else.” “You mean with someone else. Did you choose him cuz he’s rich?” “C’mon, gurl.” Talk about transfer of aggression. Was she seriously trying to pick
"Do you need something? You got something to say to us?" Jane snapped. The she-wolf rose as we approached her table. So did her warrior. Without turning around, I could feel Archer beside me. Jane was momentarily distracted by the guard's sudden presence. "A half-blood," the noble spat in disgust
"I can't hunt, Sara, you know that," Jane said. "My mom would freak if she found out that I knowingly went to the forest. You know how she feels about that sort of thing." Yeah, I know how desperate she is to keep you from the truth. "We could sneak off during the day. Maybe on a Sunday? When the
His laugh drifted into my heart as he spoke again. "When we're alone later, I'll let you practice what you last read on me." "Thanks for your kindness," I joked shyly. "I guess I ought to." "Oh, you must, Sweetness. I'll teach you plenty of stuff, too." Can't wait to learn. I was a little shy
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
