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 gave a bitter laugh. “Alpha, she's an adult. So am I. I'll rather hear it from her if she wants me or not. You can't control whom I sleep with, c'mon!” I could feel my anger stirring. “So you do want to get in her pants,” Nick frowned. "But how come? She's different from your usuals. Why?" "I'
Elise Reign The Senior Luna watched her son, and his beta and gamma approached in leisurely strides. Their relief was able to be felt even from many feet away. She was stunned by their relief. Had they been that eager to see her? It was clear that they didn't expect her to come anytime soon. Her
Avery POV As my senses registered the person at the door, I shut my eyes, relaxed my body and willing myself to fall asleep. I’d been thrilled when the Chief Gamma brought the message that Elise was being delayed because her daughter went into labor. She was here now. Wasn't it too soon to leave th
Avery POV Another round of movements followed the Senior Luna's request. In a few moments, I felt the large bedroom emptying as the others filed out. Me and Elise were now alone. Somehow, I could tell that she stood by the door watching me. I felt her gaze a few feet from the bed. "Open your eyes
Avery POV The room went quiet as I considered asking Elise if it was Richard or Aylin who leaked the secret. I dreaded letting her see my face so I didn't dare look her way yet. The sound of the ticking clock filled the silence. I could feel her waiting for me to refute her. When I didn't speak,
Aylin POV Eight hours earlier, right after my lunch break, Elise Reign, the Alpha's own mother called me on the phone. She wanted to know "exactly" what happened? That was too odd. The fact that she was co-head of the Council of Warriors made it even more odd that she would call me. And she'd soun
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
