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
Jane POV Nasir was behind us. I wouldn't have noticed if not for Jet's hardened face as he glared in the rearview. He picked up his cell phone like he meant to make a call, then put it back down. I thought of saying something. Perhaps to let him know that I was the reason we were being tailed. How
“They serve the best steak in the United States," Jet whispered. "Do not tell Nick I said that. Or Sara." I nodded as he led me to a table for two near a giant palm plant. “You’ll have the steak, right?" He asked. "I'd like you to try it.” I shrugged. “Okay.” The waiter arrived in no time to tak
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
