“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
It was 6:39 PM. I had been waiting for forty-six minutes. Nasir had texted that the girl was lingering inside her office building after work. She was deliberately making me wait, wasn't she? I looked around the restaurant. It was fuller than the last time we were here. If only we could meet at Reig
Jane's eyebrow lifted. "You'll be in the city?" she asked. I nodded. As she waited for me to go on, I wondered if Jet told her anything. I doubted Sara would invite her to the mating ceremony. Please Goddess, let my guess be right. Her wolf may have woken up but she wasn’t quite ready to be
As my gaze locked with the Alpha's, I considered taking off to pretend I was out racing. That would be silly. I discarded the thought fast. He already caught me. Pretense wouldn't save me. So... how do I play this? Just be cool, Jake. "I sensed a wolf behind me earlier," I said. "That wasn’t 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
