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
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
