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
Tessa POV My mind was blank from the shock of what was happening. My body, however, had no concept of shock at the moment. All it knew was that my face was cupped in Richard Wolfe's large hands, and he was kissing me. His grip was hard, and the kiss started harsh. The will to push him off was n
The next day began like another ordinary day. The events of last night returned the moment I came awake. It felt like a bittersweet dream rather than a real occurrence, though I was sure it happened. I resolved to put it out of my mind as I went about my day. "Eyes on your goal, Tess," I mumbled
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
"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 ri
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 t
