Jane POV Nick Reign approached with his gaze fixed on Sara. He wore nothing but a loose tank shirt and shorts. For a moment, his eyes seemed to glow. Or maybe it was just me seeing things again. His mouth parted in a playful smile as he approached in slow, powerful strides. It felt like he and Sa
“But,” Nick continued. “It’s getting dark, and this period is not a good time.” His large hands moved back and forth between Sara’s waist and hips. She exhaled, leaning on his chest as she sagged her shoulders. Like she had known he would disapprove. “You two should try this again in… say, ten day
I shoot, you kill. If you're able to kill a squirrel... These words reverberated in my head as I waited for Jet to speak. Kill!? That was why Sara had taken me hunting. She had meant to show me something like I suspected. But that something had to do with first slitting a creature's throat. Th
Jake POV "Hm?" Jane breathed. Her eyes roamed about looking for me before they returned to the old Honda sitting across the street from her house. Jet was still leaving. I ducked lower in the back seat to keep from looking at him. The girl no longer walked beside him. Which meant he would sense
She was just as I expected. Another creature who thought herself superior to others because she walked on two legs. I scoffed at her hateful face. Pathetic. Weak old bitch. Sub-par species. Holier-than-thou, lying piece of- “Please go inside, mom. I’m coming.” The sound of Jane's calm voice s
Jake POV I could feel Jane's perplexity as she stared at me. However, there was another feeling underneath. What I just told her sounded like something she already knew. Realization shone in her eyes as she breathed, "You're saying that this other half is part of who I am... and it's an actual w
"I'm like you. And Sara. And Nick Reign. And Avery. Even the tiger cub too. And Jet." Her tone was that of acceptance. Tiger cub? Must be little Alex. I nodded. "Yes. You're like us. In your case, you're half-blood because one of your parents is human. Your mother." "And my birth father is w
Jane POV Jake's eyes shone like sparks of electricity as he advanced. His mouth parted and I could've sworn those were fangs peeking out of them. He seemed larger and almost beastly. "Y-your eyes," I stammered. He halted a few feet from me, the light vanishing from his eyes. They still glinted b
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
