Hours later, Jethro's panic began to melt away. When we started preparing to leave, he was surprisingly settling into the role nicely. He'd gathered the elders and elite for a brief official introduction. Each noble family came into the pack hall for the first acquaintance while he noted them in the
Jake POV "A-are you okay?" Nick asked his mate. She nodded but still stood hunched over. "When did you two arrive?" His voice was unsteady. Irrelevant question. He stood rigid like he didn't dare go near her. One fist was clenched on his side, the other still gripped the detached head. The s
Nick was clearly speaking into her mind now, but she wasn’t having it. When I came out of the water, they were yards away but not out of earshot. Their son followed them like a puppy, eyes moving from one to the other. Apparently, the era of arguing in front of the kid was not over yet. I prayed t
My cell phone was on my desk in my office at Nick's. I didn’t have the patience to wait longer for my phone call. So I strode to the desk phone sitting near my bed and immediately dialed Nasir, the wife's chauffeur. “Hello, beta,” he greeted. “Great to hear from you. Glad everyone’s unharmed.” “Th
Jane tried to reach me last night. She'd called my phone once. Late in the night. About the same time that I almost punched in her number on my desk phone. Which meant she'd rang my cell at around the time of my second call to Nasir. The chauffeur told me then that she was home and watching TV. A
After the brotherly handshakes and hugs, the older Alpha took off in his private jet. I left the group to get another drink as more well-wishers came to congratulate and chat with the new Alpha. Soon, the party began to draw to a close. It was time to leave. I went to the male's room, breathing a
Jane POV For the first time in weeks, Orphic Valley felt quiet. Too quiet for my liking. Everyone was away. Well, not everyone. Just Sara, the hubby and Jet as far as I was concerned. I wanted to do something with myself but had no idea what. The feeling was so bad that, when my mom asked that
"It's Thursday, Jane. Still the middle of the week but ok," Dora replied. Instead of dancing, we ended up at the jazz bar at her insistence. "Friday is for dancing. Thursday is for chilling out," she said. As we sat waiting for drinks, I caught the same look on her face as yesterday and asked,
I lifted my leg and his eyes raked over me as he licked his lips. He was fully clothed still. I didn't care. I did not want to think. As his massive hands settled on my waist, all thoughts deserted, thank Goddess. Our eyes remained locked as one hand moved to cup my breast. I wanted him to kiss me
He sat unmoving with his chest heaving slowly. His hands tightened on both sides where he gripped the desk. His face remained without expression. I didn't let it stop me. Whether he reacted or not, I would finish what I'd come for. Unless he stopped me. I tug my arms off the jacket and set it down
Tessa POV "I'm sorry, I don't understand." He smirked. "Yeah you do." I understood. I just didn't dare entertain the idea that Richard Wolfe hadn't been able to stop thinking about my t!ts. Get it out of his system? What did that mean? This was trap! "Actually, I don't," I shook my head innoc
The next day began like another ordinary day. The events of last night returned the moment I came awake. It felt like a bittersweet dream rather than a real occurrence, though I was sure it happened. I resolved to put it out of my mind as I went about my day. "Eyes on your goal, Tess," I mumbled
Tessa POV My mind was blank from the shock of what was happening. My body, however, had no concept of shock at the moment. All it knew was that my face was cupped in Richard Wolfe's large hands, and he was kissing me. His grip was hard, and the kiss started harsh. The will to push him off was non
I took a sip from my glass and refocused on the girl before me. Perfect body. This should erase all images of the stray wolf from my head once and for all. Peyton Day. That omega was brought in with her. According to him, the two of them did serve the Fox's household. Two orphans. "Will you lik
Richard POV The Avalanche Night Club was not directly affiliated with Reigns Group. It was a child of one of the pack's retail subsidiaries. Nick always hated the place because she-wolves worked there sometimes. The type of females that tripped over themselves at the sight of an Alpha or any othe
"She had to start work immediately cuz she kept making trouble! I'm not sure where they took her, but she should be back before nightfall." "I see. Thanks." What kind of trouble? Tessa was a docile she-wolf. Was it outside the pack or within. Looking for her was bad enough. He didn't want the Liv
Kevin Kevin Fox always comsidered himself a proud male of worth. Any other wolf, for instance, Curtis Burns, would have continued to pretend they didn't know Tessa Nile. Not only was she of low birth, but she belonged to the class of wolves that people like him didn't publicly associate with. How
