Jake POV I was wrong. Jane and I were not on friendly terms. That was fine. We didn't have to be. What she said was fact. Even though it caused a pang in my heart. We would, indeed, be over soon. I was beginning to get carried away. It was a good thing she reminded me. I hated how irritated it ma
"No, it's fine. It's my wife. She's got that card at the moment," I replied. "Okay, Mister Carlisle. Thanks for confirming." I hung up and was about to settle into looking at her purchases when my desk phone rang. Richard. Which meant it was time for a late lunch with the guys. We were all back a
Jake POV At the mention of the wife's name, I struggled to school my features, trying hard to hide my reaction to the bit of information Nick had just revealed. My effort was useless. "Hmm," I nodded casually. "Well, good for them. And good for you too. You're keeping your female happy." "Appar
“Does she know?” I asked. The Alpha knew exactly what I meant. “No, my mate does not know that her friend is fated to you. Let me guess, you want to continue with the secret.” I was unsure what I wanted at this point. Just that it was better if the two friends didn't discuss me at all. “Jane w
Jane POV Soon after talking to Jake on the phone, I learned that Orphic Valley didn't have a showroom for the type of furniture in his house. It was a perfect excuse to take a few hours of vacation from the town. Within two hours, I got on the plane heading to the same city where I'd gotten marri
In between, she took calls from Big shot and her father while I screened my mother’s calls, replying only to Nasir’s text. Her bodyguards lurked about, mixing with passersby as they followed us everywhere. If I didn’t know one of them, I'd think she was alone. But she wasn’t. Not at all. Hours lat
Jane POV "M-misha," Jake stuttered, eyes moving between me and the woman. Reaching for the girl's hand around his neck, he started to free himself from her hold when I quickly averted my gaze. I let my eyes roam around the large terminal. Everywhere else but at the two. As Nick Reign scolded Sar
Damn, it felt good to scream. Jake took a step closer as I moved back to maintain the distance. I waited, somehow hoping that he would actually deny what I'd just said. Confusion, anger, anxiety and several other nameless emotions crossed his features as his mouth hung parted. He opened it t
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
