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
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
