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
His manner was dismissive, discouraging any further question. I was alright with that. I've had enough of the incredible tale of human wolves for the night. I was surprisingly full and energized from eating that roasted, unsalted hare meat. As we started to leave, I grew painfully aware of the fac
Oooh Jane. The words were mixed with Jake's soft but throaty moan against my lips. As they drifted into my mind, it felt like he'd whispered them into my ears. A silent communication between us two alone. He took over the kiss in an instant. Pulling me tighter into his large arms, he teased, cares
“Nasir should be here in a few minutes.” His voice cut off my self-disgust. I nodded. I didn’t trust myself to open my mouth. Minutes later, we emerged by the side of the road. A car approached in the distance. From the way he stared at it, I knew that was our ride. It took a few moments to disco
How was it possible that she could tell I'd gone for the hunt by merely looking at me? Delight spread over her face, making her eyes gleam as she came to stand in front of me. "Yes," she breathed again. As I looked at her, only one thought echoed in my head. A werewolf like me. “It was Jet, was
That was my grandfather's name. "So my mother's the one who looks familiar, not me," I said, lifting my glass of water. "No, it's both of you," he said simply. "And I think your mom would remember me if she looked closely. You should ask her. My father was in that shop a lot all through our stay
Jake POV I slammed on the breaks, my senses, groaning at the distinct presence nearby. Thank Goddess, there was no oncoming car behind me. "What the hell? What's wrong?" Aylin asked as I put the car in reverse. I looked about, but Jane was nowhere in sight. That was her scent that I just picked
There was no trace of disdain in those words. Wait, was she happy for the two of them? My blood ran hot with annoyance. They had lunch. That was all. It's not like they were getting mated tomorrow. If I spoke these thoughts out loud, she might grow suspicious. So I bit back the words and turned th
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
