Jane POV "Contact lens my a$$," I muttered. Reaching for my mobile phone, I opened my call log and tapped the dial icon, calling the one person I was starting to depend on. She picked up on the fourth ring. "Having fun, huh," I drawled. "I am so mad at you right now, gurl. How can you be out of
The male was someone I had never seen before. As my eyes settled on his face, the wind played with his thick brown curls. He had a cool southern vibe about him with his dark golden skin and full lips. It felt like I knew him from long ago. A sense of dejavu rose inside me as I regarded him. It occu
"I don't need your help," I said lamely. This mysterious man saw me in my most embarrassing state. I felt ashamed and upset. He nodded like he agreed, but I could sense the sarcasm in that simple gesture. The man was upsetting. Scratch that. My body's reaction to those broad, imposing shoulders, t
Four nights ago, when Avery fought the beta and carried Jane back home, Avery POV "Mary mother of God!" Mrs. Brown cried. She frantically made the sign of the cross as she rushed down the porch to meet me. Jane jolted awake at the sound of her voice. She struggled against me, and I set her down q
Aylin POV At the sound of my voice, the sergeant paused his attack. The large claws of his left paws were still buried inside Kyle's shoulder. His face and jaws were stained with blood. Caspian arrived then as he and Rita dragged the sergeant off my date. The sight of him struggling with the two
“Aylin, tell me!” Gamma Richard pressed. “You can’t tell anyone. Please. Especially not Jake,” I begged. “Alright. What is it?” “We’re fated!” "What?" The gamma’s eyes widened as his lips parted. “You're joking.” I shook my head, muttering. “I wish I was." He whistled in astounishment. "We
Avery POV That was a foolish thing to say, especially because it made my jealousy as plain as day. I meant every word about ripping that male apart the next I saw him. It's the damn mate bond. Aylin stopped and just stared at me. She looked so confused. That made the two of us. Why was I in s
Back to the present (during the proposal) Jane POV "Where's sergeant locked up? By whom? Tell me!" I demanded as Jake remain quiet. I could literally feel him kicking himself for taking that call in front of me. "Sara chose that guy over him. Is that what it's about? Does it involve Nick Reign?"
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
