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.
Was I still curious about the male whose werewolf gene I carried? Very yes. But when I agreed to see my mom to discuss him earlier, I didn't know that my husband would stroll into Rain restaurant and kiss me in front of a crowd of his rich friends, customers and business partner. So when my mom d
Jake POV Nasir did not take Jane to our cozy home like I expected. He drove her to Sonya’s instead. Something must've happened. Jane would not insist on going there. If anything, she would want to hear my explanation. Maybe get feisty with me for kissing her in public like that. As I drew closer t
When I re-entered the resort, all was quiet. The guards that had broken up the scuffle between Jet and I were all back at their posts. As we slipped back inside through the hidden staircase, Don went his way while I headed upstairs to the penthouse. As soon as I entered, Richard emerged with his p
It seemed his parents fought over what name was fitting for the then heir of the Golden Crescent. Refusing to compromise, there was no other choice but to give the male both names. Rudolph Florian? That was the only logical explanation. If not, why? I was aware that this useless analysis was my
The only thing worse than this interrogation was facing Jet. I didn't relish the idea of standing face to face with the guy one bit. But how did I answer the rhetorical question the Senior had just asked? I could choose cowardice and bolt this very minute. The public elevator looked deserted and t
Avery POV From a distance, by the waterfall near the mountain, I saw a woman. No, a female. She stood beneath the flowing waters, letting it slide down her sun-kissed skin. She was someone I knew. I dreamed of her every night. As I moved closer, she felt my presence and opened her eyes. I looked
I was not a Mooner. Not a full blooded wolf nor a member of any pack. Could I ever be good enough for her? “I’d like to sit down,” she said. Moving clumsily, I stepped aside, gesturing towards the one-sitter. This was not my small apartment back in the town. I couldn't help but be somewhat gratef
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
