I gave a slight frown, and he nodded, "Yeah! He didn't think I could really want a female the way he feels about Sara. He never considered that I could want something more from you. None of them would ever consider it. After the full moon, they would think you're merely one if the others. And I did
Jane POV When I opened my eyes again, sunlight poured into the luxury bed chamber where I laid. I had been dreaming of running in the wild. Not from fear or from being chased, but for the sheer pleasure of it. The feeling of joyous excitement lingered as I came fully awake. I realized that I felt m
Jake lifted his gaze and began to speak. "Jane, listen. It's alright to leave with him. If you want your first shift in Tauranga, I can't demand that you change your mind. That would be selfish. I was a fool, making you sign a contract to accept my rejection. I'm very sorry that I ever considered
The day before, Aylin POV Rowan picked me up at the resort as agreed. The restaurant he took me was inside a hotel that I'd driven past many times. How I loved his confident strides. His easy manner and how he totally ignored our guards was so attractive. I loved his simple sweater and jeans wit
"No," Rowan replied earnestly. "Sara had little to do with it, I swear. She happens to be the Alpha's fated female. A male who was sort of my enemy." "Was?" I murmured. "He's not anymore, is he?" His eyes dropped to the wine in front of him, then lower. I hoped he didn't ask me out to tell me tha
Avery POV Two females walked into the restaurant. Another walked in behind them. From where we sat, I couldn't tell if they were she-wolves. But the moment one of them looked our way, I knew that was Aylin's mother. An average-height middle-age female with short black styled hair, a pouty mouth a
If she heard her daughter, she didn't show it. "Whereas, you, Sergeant, you work for the human police. A salary male. How will you protect my spoilt child? Can you bear full-blooded kids? Who is your wolf parent?" "What the... kids? Slow down, mom!" It felt like she was asking genuinely rather th
Jane POV Jake was nearby. He wasn't coming with us though. He'd said he understood why I chose my father's city. That it made sense. As much as I wanted to, I hadn't asked him to accompany me. Everyone was much calmer now. There was no more quarrelling. Things were better this way. He seemed resi
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
