Jane's voice and the sound of my name was a comforting song, lifting my heart out of my stomach. Though only briefly. “Hey, wife, you’re alright?” “Yeah… he tied me up,” she replied, sniffing. “I've told you not to curse," I tried to joke. "You are the Beta's mate. And I’m coming for you. Hang
Celia Kai's cell was a small house near the pack's farm animals. The door was made of iron bars. More like a gate. A thick wall separated her from one other female prisoner. I quickly shifted and pulled up my shorts, draping the jacket around me. With silent steps, I made my way towards the gate.
Jane POV When I told my captor that I had a hunting knife, my plan was to scare him off. I did have one, which Sara got me weeks ago. The problem was that I didn’t carry it around. In fact, I'd left it in my closet at my husband’s house. I never imagined that an abductor would force himself into t
When we came out of the warehouse, I saw that dawn was not as close as he thought. It was still pitch dark. Two men waited by a window-less van a few feet away. As we came close, one rushed to pull the door open. He was a werewolf. Scarred face began to urge me inside when a strongly familiar pr
Jane POV The next time I opened my eyes, I was on a warm, soft bed and hooked to an IV. A giant bandage ran from my shoulder down my back. That part of my body was numb. My head felt ten times bigger. I struggled to take stock of the environment. A well-lit room with the daylight pouring in throug
My heart ached, thinking that he might be hurt. I forced my eyes to open wider, trying to sit up at the same time. “You’re hurt,” I said in a croaked voice. “Me? No." With one hand, he wiped his face, smearing it with more blood and dirt. "It's not my blood,” he replied. He stood too far, un
Jake POV With those words, Jane's focus returned to me like I wanted. "Could you please get that thing out of the room?" she said, gesturing at the piece of flesh in my hand. "Of course." I moved it behind my back and out of her sight but didn't make any attempt to leave. I was worried about w
I proceeded towards the sound, speaking before I unlocked the door. "What the hell are you doing here? How did you know where I was?" Aylin stood with both hands on her waist, glowering at me. “Who the hell is Young Mrs. Carlisle?” she asked. "Were you snooping around instead of working?" "Depu
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
