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
The beast's glittering eyes held me in place like a spell. I worried that if I looked away, he would vanish. I knew this creature quite well. Not because he was my husband's other form, but because he was my kind. The need to go to him took hold as I dashed out of my bedroom. My mother happened t
I felt so hot in the most inappropriate places but was determined to keep as much distance as he was imposing. Stepping back, I kept my eyes between his golden blond hair and the trees. The strands seem to shimmer in the darkness. "We need to help each other. It's why we came together, isn't it?" H
I didn't see Richard again until I was escorted back to my apartment. As soon as I entered the building, Peyton was waiting by his door. "Yo, superstar," he called out. I hadn't seen him at all, but that's because he was not on duty tonight. He had gone to the party as a pack member with his fri
Tessa POV Richard was taking my side. I couldn't stop my heart from swelling as I fought to recall if anyone had ever done this before. Things had been quite eventful here in the Forest Moon. I hardly ever got into fights or quarrels at the former pack. And I certainly couldn't recall anyone ever t
"What happened?" I asked no one in particular. Tessa and Ivy didn't speak. Instead, both shot daggers at each other with their eyes. The two Gammas exchanged looks as each waited for the other to tell the tale. It was Grace who began speaking. "I heard the two talking in the bathroom. Then there
Richard POV The first thing I noted as I entered the party hall was Tessa Nile's absence. The Alpha, Beta and their mates were not there either. I stomped forward, looking about for Tina and Grace. The two guards were nowhere on sight, which meant they were with Tessa. She probably went to the bath
Instead of an attack, Miss Johnson forced a smile. "Like mother like daughter, huh," she seethed. "Just cuz he introduced you to the Luna, you think you'll be something more?" Another bitter laugh echoed in the bathroom as she went on, "Does he know about your master, Mister Fox. Do you still servi
Tessa POV The evening had been going too well. Knowing my luck, I should've expected something to ruin it sooner or later. As I washed my hands, I recalled the look on Kevin's face again and shuddered. The harshness in his eyes had brought Curtis Burns to mind. In that moment, I had immediately re
"You're dressed up," he said simply. "So are you. And stop calling me that!" Her curt tone confused him. She resumed walking. Wait, was she not interested in talking to him? After looking at him like that? He reached out and grabbed her arm. She yanked free. "What do you want? I'm working ri
Kevin Kevin had nearly died of relief when the Deputy Chief, Killian Forrest, reached out to assign him work. He expected to hear from Richard Wolfe himself. Apparently, the Chief didn't want to deal with him too. Kevin was more than happy to avoid dealing with him too. At least, for now. As a t
Richard appeared just as I began to wonder what I was doing in the Alpha's house. He was in his full warrior clothes. A sleeveless camouflage. It was unbuttoned, revealing tattooed bare chest and muscled abs. The matching shorts did not cover all of his toned, powerful thighs. I caught myself st
