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
"Wait, is it tonight?" I asked, racing beside him like a child. "I thought it's tomorrow night." "Yeah, it's already tomorrow down here," Rudy replied. Right. A car sat waiting as soon as we emerged. The driver zoomed off the moment we sat in and shut the door. "Wait! Nasir!" I complained. "It
Jake POV Lily hadn't changed a bit. She was as cheerful and hospitable as ever. Childbirth did not make her less agile, too. I didn't know what I expected. Her buoyant mood and spiritedness were rather impressive. No one could easily tell that she'd just gone through the ordeal of labour. A new m
I braced myself for what Jet would say or do. After seconds of no reaction, I quickly lost interest in his face and returned to staring at my wife. The sunlight grew dimmer at that moment, distracting all of us. Everyone lifted their faces in unison to look up at the sky. Soon, the trio walked pas
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
"You're dressed up," he said simply. "So are you. And stop calling me that!" Her curt tone confused him. She resumed walking. Wait, was she not interested in talking to him? After looking at him like that? He reached out and grabbed her arm. She yanked free. "What do you want? I'm working right
Kevin Kevin had nearly died of relief when the Deputy Chief, Killian Forrest, reached out to assign him work. He expected to hear from Richard Wolfe himself. Apparently, the Chief didn't want to deal with him too. Kevin was more than happy to avoid dealing with him too. At least, for now. As a tra
Richard appeared just as I began to wonder what I was doing in the Alpha's house. He was in his full warrior clothes. A sleeveless camouflage. It was unbuttoned, revealing tattooed bare chest and muscled abs. The matching shorts did not cover all of his toned, powerful thighs. I caught myself st
Tessa POV I was changing. One minute ago, I was Tessa Nile. The girl who tried to to run away from the pack. All I wanted was to be free because I feared that I would end up like my mother. Right now, with one female standing guard at my door and another helping me get dressed, I was no longer
It was so hard to get rid of the anticipation. I reminded myself that the day was not just any other Sunday. It was a feast day. The pack would have their Christmas party later tonight. Though they called it the Winter Solstice Feast. That meant Richie may not have the time to make me eat with him l
Tessa POV I forgot about Kevin and his foolish words the moment I walked into my apartment yesterday. I had no need to worry about him anymore as Richard Wolfe would be keeping a close eye on me from now on. That meant there was no risk of working at the ex's ever. It was around 5 AM the next day.
I had barely walked into the vast building when Young Luna Reign began speaking to me. Her eyes twinkled with excitement as she asked the most disconcerting question I'd heard that day. Her words were both intriguing and dreadful at the same time. "You know him, right?" She asked when I didn't re
