Tessa POV Thankfully, I wasn't in the bathroom long enough for Fiona to miss me. That didn't change the fact that I was probably in bigger trouble than I'd gotten myself a few days ago. Five minutes after resuming my cleaning, she signalled for me to stop. "Only because I don't wanna be here righ
Morning came sooner than I wanted it to. Though it was a new day, I was filled with anxiety about the result of yesterday's errors. I had very little sleep and had only began to doze off when the first light of dawn poured in through the small window. I heard whispers outside as a male came to relie
Tessa POV My fears dissolved when I saw Vivi and Peyton emerged from their rooms too. Either the two also did something wrong or I had nothing fear. The bags they carried meant that I was not the only one getting moved out of here. I avoided looking directly at Richard as much as I could. When my
"I'm not a spy, Chief," I said earnestly. "You saw me that day, remember?" "Which day? Same day that warrior attacked you over a scent blocker?" "He didn't attack me because of the scent blocker. He propositioned me before then and I refused. He attacked me earlier that day too. Kev, I mean... the
Kevin Kevin Fox always comsidered himself a proud male of worth. Any other wolf, for instance, Curtis Burns, would have continued to pretend they didn't know Tessa Nile. Not only was she of low birth, but she belonged to the class of wolves that people like him didn't publicly associate with. How
"She had to start work immediately cuz she kept making trouble! I'm not sure where they took her, but she should be back before nightfall." "I see. Thanks." What kind of trouble? Tessa was a docile she-wolf. Was it outside the pack or within. Looking for her was bad enough. He didn't want the Liv
Richard POV The Avalanche Night Club was not directly affiliated with Reigns Group. It was a child of one of the pack's retail subsidiaries. Nick always hated the place because she-wolves worked there sometimes. The type of females that tripped over themselves at the sight of an Alpha or any othe
I took a sip from my glass and refocused on the girl before me. Perfect body. This should erase all images of the stray wolf from my head once and for all. Peyton Day. That omega was brought in with her. According to him, the two of them did serve the Fox's household. Two orphans. "Will you lik
The session went on for two hours while Richard and I kept locking eyes. I was extremely satisfied with myself for saying no to Kevin in front of him. I hoped he wouldn't ask me about that night ever again. Because I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I got carried away by the mere thought of
Tessa POV The day of the hearing arrived. It was the day after Richard's visit. I woke up, washed up and got ready before full daylight. When the beep sounded on the door, I quickly rose to drink some water, then waited eagerly to be led out. Grace stood between the door jamb when the door opene
"Oh, yeah," she nodded eagerly. How could the Luna entertain this? I continued on my way, stomping past them. "I'm going back to work!" "Me too," Jake said. Thank Goddess, Tessa couldn't hear us from up there. Once we reached the door, I halted as a thought occured. What if my mother begged Sar
Richard POV "Are you here to see my Luna?" Nick asked Mrs Wolfe. He still held Sara's hand as they continued down the stairs. Then his cellphone began to ring. "Oh, yes, Alpha," she replied. "Although, I was looking for Richie, too. I heard he came here." "Is it urgent? I'm afraid you may have
Richard POV Tessa was still sitting with her head bowed when Nick opened the door and came out. I could tell how scared she was. I wanted to go in at once, but the Alpha was in the way. The doorway suddenly felt crowded as Jake followed behind seconds later. "Do you want me in there with you?" As
"You called me Alpha. I'm not your Alpha." I kept my head down "Do you know how he died?" He asked. "In battle." "Do you know who killed him?" The calmness slipped off his tone. "You? I think..." "That's right," he remarked. "I killed Lazarus Kai. Your birth father." The room went sile
Tessa POV Alpha Nick did not show up the same day as Jake. I sat, stood, paced about the room waiting for him. It's not like I was eager to see the Alpha who considered me his enemy. In fact, it was the opposite. I would skip that particular one-on-one if I had a choice. I only needed him to come
I asked other questions relating to Tessa and her childhood. His answers didn't give me the slightest comfort. I didn't know what questions could possibly generate answers that could ease the ache in my heart. Maybe nothing could relieve me. I wanted to see her desperately. But I also didn't want t
Richard POV When I reached the apartment block where Tessa used to live, the voices coming from the building made me stop. "I'm not surprised at all," said a not-so-familiar voice. "I always get a different vibe around her." "Lemme tell you what's different about her vibe, Koda," replied anothe
