Jake POV "What is the deal with you and Aylin?" Rowan seemed to relax beneath my grip, his annoyance gradually giving way to nervousness. I loosened my hold and he got free swiftly, pushing me off of his personal space. As his shoulders rose and fell to catch his breath, I saw that his eyes no l
Damn Sara. This was her damn fault. Yes, she was my Luna now, but that didn’t give her the right to try to sabotage my relationship. I hated to annoy Nick, but his mate and I would have a word once they were less busy. As I recalled the things she said to Jane again, I was nearly overcome with s
What followed my declaration was another round of silence. The sound of her breathing filled the phone line, my one assurance that she was still there. Moments passed before she spoke. "So... But... I thought divorce comes after consummation. That's what you told me. Also your contract is void, y
Jake POV The feast and partying went on all night. Before dawn the next day, Nick and Sara made their way out of the mansion to the waiting private jet for the customary conjugal rest. They were required to stay out of sight of the pack for at least seventy-two hours. "Our first stop is Tauranga,
Jane POV "I have to go to L.A. We'll talk soon." That was the content of Jake's note. I'd woken up the morning after to find it sitting next to the bedside lamp. I was still staring at the note, trying to decide how to feel when the maid had knocked. As usual, she'd asked if I needed help getting
"Hmm, ok," I said. Guess the husband wouldn't be at that meeting then. "I'll pick you up at five," he said and hung up. Ten minutes before the time, he called again, saying he was sending a car to get me because the meeting was taking longer than he thought. That was fine by me. A Hyundai sant
Jane POV Now, that's why the man looked and felt like someone I knew. Right? “Jet,” I called back hesitantly, looking from one man to the other. Their resemblance was striking. The younger man looked shocked to see the older one. He didn’t acknowledge me yet, even as he drew closer. Rudy waved
“Some personal business." “Oh. So dad, me and I will have to leave you, hope you don’t mind. I want to take her somewhere. I'll call you once I drop her off. Maybe I'll meet you at your hotel.” “Okay." Rudy nodded. "You two have fun.” I didn't complain because I knew it must be uncomfortable to h
Tessa PoV Richard's words caused my heart to leap to my throat. I didn't dare assume anything. Live in his house like his other staffs. These were his words. He didn't say like his female. I held my breath, waiting for him to offer more details. "I'll be away for a few days," he said, shifting 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
