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
Rudy could sense my presence. He didn't care. There was urgency with a hint of desperation in his tone. It was like he didn't want to put off the conversation for another minute. "I swear to you, Sonya, I had no idea. How could you think I would hurt you so intentionally? I flew back to Lafayette
Avery POV One day to go. I felt proud of myself for getting through the service in one piece. Tomorrow was my final day. I had just finished today's work, which ended at the stable. Any kind of duty near the farms was a depressing chore. Yet as I grabbed my coat to leave, a small part of me felt
His voice was so much lower than hers when he began to speak. My senses weren't as sharp this time of the moon cycle, so it was an effort catching all of his words. "Females are so confusing," he said with a frown. "The Alpha is actually letting you do what you enjoy for the rest of your life. I
Avery POV It didn't immediately register that Nick was talking to me. It took seconds to realize that he'd said my given name. What could the Alpha possibly wish to discuss? With his chin, he motioned for us to go inside as I quickly turned around and led the way. Seconds later, the sound of the
I waved at him as he approached. At the same time, Mister Noel and Serena called out their hellos. Apparently, these people of the town did notice my long absence. "The vacay did wonders," Jose exclaimed. "I mean, look at you. All refreshed and filled out." Filled out? Really? Except for my routin
Jane POV Voices woke me up. I didn't open my eyes immediately. My hearing had gotten really weird the past two days. I could pick up the distant sound of cars and even laughter far outside these walls. The sounds were like noises sometimes. They disturbed my sleep, making me drift in and out of unc
As Jake opened the door wider, my mom walked in with the one whom I'd recently learned was my brother. It seemed like she wanted to come closer to the bed. I was relieved that she didn't. Jake looked like he was ready to bundle her out of the room if she made any slight mistake. She didn't care t
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
