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,
Jane POV Jake stood in the middle of the living room with his phone in one hand. The other hand fisted on his jacket, which he had just taken off but was still holding on to. I could tell that he had just come home too. His signature scent was still mixed with that of the plane. Which meant he'd
So he knew how I felt about him? I couldn't believe it. Was I that obvious? He hated that I was getting attached, didn't he? Don't call me using silly questions as an excuse. Jerk! Why, oh, why did I feel this way? It was better not to be in the same space with him right now. I bounded up the
Jane's POV The relief I felt from thrashing the place was short-lived. As it seeped away, guilt took its place. I looked about me at the damage and decided it was uncalled for. I'd let my emotions take control and acted like a spoilt child. These thoughts only re-ignited my anger, making me decide
Oh God. "But," she paused. "I hope to God that you're not staying with that one. Or the other one." I knew exactly whom she was referring to. That one meant Jake. The other one meant Jet. Or vice versa. "They're no good, I tell you," she went on. "I mean it's bad enough that they're from the c
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
