"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
Avery Hawke 'Look who's here. Miss runaway,' Avery jeered into the girl's mind. His whole body tingled from being near her. She stepped back, avoiding his gaze and turning around to look at her brother whose eyes were now on him. "Look who we have here. It's sergeant sneak," the beta sneered. Tha
Two weeks later. Sara POVIt was happening. My mating ceremony with Nickolas Reign. I would have thought this was a dream if not for the fluttering in my heart and stomach. Four days ago, I had feared that this day may never come, but thank Goddess, I had been wrong. My fears were unfounded.I had
Prelude: Jane believes the rules are simple. And awesome since they apply to both of them. Rule one. The marriage is a secret. No one can know about it. Two. The contract goes void as soon as she gets free from her "condition." Thirdly. Three months is the maximum time length. The agreement ends
A few days ago (Weeks before the mating ceremony), Jake POV It was the evening after the full moon. The day after my best friend and Alpha won back his mate. More than anything, I wanted to head back to Los Angeles where my life was normal. At least, it would seem like normal if I was far from thi
“So no housewarming party, huh? What a shame?” I grumbled. That sleepwalker would surely be here if Sara had thrown a party. They were good friends, it seemed. “Oh Fate, you're totally right," she exclaimed. "I can't believe I didn’t think of that." “There’s still time, Sweets," Nick said. "You
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
