Peyton's word sounded like a different language. 'We race straight home, Tessa!' He barked. I ignored him, continuing towards the Fox's building. 'I assure you, Tess, your boyfriend heard already. He can take care of himself!' The sound of the battle grew louder, making it difficult to process
Six weeks later, I had been mistaken. My Saviour wolf had been going his way that night. He did not come after me like I feared. Once we raced outside, he'd gone in an opposite direction, straight to the mini mansion where our Chief Gamma lived. However, as far as I was concerned, my current situa
My throat tightened as I recalled my last heart-shattering talk with my ex. As usual, I exhaled deeply, pushing him out of my mind. We reached the massive, elegantly-decorated hall moments later and were immediately separated. "Oh good. They're here," someone called out. A omega female. Clearly,
I loved this wolf before. I did not wish death upon him even though he did me wrong. But this was too much. How could he be here? This was so unexpected. So unwelcome! As he said my name again, I couldn't find my voice to speak, so I stood there assessing him the same way he was doing to me. He w
Richard POV The hallway was empty except for me and the she-wolf. I waited for her to turn around, though I already knew it was the stray. That Night Storm she-wolf with the nice breasts. Her profile was unmistakable, and so were those gentle curves under the flay, long-sleeve gown. The sound fro
"Of course, Chief." Fear flashed in the girl's eyes, causing an unpleasant tug in my gut. Again, I recalled how she'd been assaulted by that Night Storm Gamma. I wondered what she thought her punishment would be. A small part of me hoped that she didn't think someone could do that to her here in
"Having a good time, mother?" I took a large gulp from my glass. "No, not quite." Here we go. Damn it, I shouldn't have asked. "All of the Carlisle kids are mated," she sighed. "I'm so jealous, it hurts, Richie." I didn't make the mistake of commenting on that. If I did, she would go on and on a
"Oh, is she expecting you? Don't let me keep you." "No, it's fine. Actually, I'm kinda nervous. And since she's having lunch with your mom, I'm thinking I should come back another time." She dipped her chin. "You're home for the holidays, I take it," I said. "Yes, it's been years." She drew in th
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
