'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
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
