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
Jane POV Nasir didn’t argue when I texted him that I had to stay the night at my mom's. He simply texted back saying, "Alright, Mrs Carlisle. I’ll pick you up for work tomorrow morning.” According to my mother, the male who was my birth daddy would kill us if he found us. That was pretty far-fetc
“I'm not interested in his side of the story, Jake. My mom said he's still alive. If that's true, then he should've looked for me. Since he hasn't, she could be telling the truth.” “What if he has tried? She did confirm that she's been hiding from him, Jane," he argued. "I hate to upset you, but y
Jane POV Jeremy Colt was leaving too. As he drove past, frowning at me and Rudy, I almost didn't notice the transformation in the latter's face. It was his tone that caused me to refocus on him. "My dear Jane, is that what he told you? That he's A husband to you? That's a lousy way to explain your
“Thanks for offering, though,” I replied. “I’ll call Jet to talk to him, but I’ll appreciate it if you keep my secret for now. It just occurred to me that I'm not ready for the news to get out. Not till our parents know about us.” "Anyone would agree that your parents should've known about you two
Mother wolves got envious about stuff like that, so her behaviour was normal. My stomach rolled. I could feel myself getting ill. "Mrs Wolfe is desperate for a grandchild," Mrs Compton scoffed, echoing my thought. "She sure is," Tyrese muttered. I prayed silently that the two would shut up. Th
The three hours of sleep that I thought I could get before morning was nonexistent. Yet the night felt longer than ever. Kevin's words remained with me for the rest of the time while I laid awake, analysing all of my interactions with Richard Wolfe. At dawn, I came to the conclusion that indeed,
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
