"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
Jake POV Jet motherf*cking Chase! Richard's meeting with the Night Storm should've been in L.A. It was to discuss strategies for re-organizing their warriors and guards. Clove was supposed to come on Jet's behalf, then take reports back, but no. The Night Storm's new Alpha had requested that the
Soon, Richard and Gerard shoved me into the private elevator. "I'll handle things here, Chief," the latter said as the door slid shut. “What the f*ck, Jake. There are Mooners out there. Wait, I'm so confused. Weren't you keeping it secret for now?” He stood between me and the door. I pushed my h
Jane POV No matter how the evening was turning out, that kiss was better than the formal introduction I hoped for. It was born from jealousy. A show for Jet. But still, it was Jake's way of saying to everyone at that luxurious restaurant that I belonged to him. Hell, he said it in plain words.
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
