I crossed the small roadway to go to Kevin Fox. As I came near the tree that hid him from plain view, his eyes moved over me in a manner that I remembered so well. They gave off that same light that used to make me feel so beautiful. Now, I understood that look perfectly. It was nothing but mere,
Maybe I could use the distraction too. Rather than lay in bed, wondering what to do and how to run into Richard again, it was better to look around the pack. This was an opportunity to see and get to know the area. Nothing wrong with that. I waited as moments went by. I had started to rethink my de
Tessa POV Richard's expression went instantly stoic as our eyes met. Then he averted his gaze so very casually. Like he didn't see me. "That's exactly what I crave," his date said with excitement in her voice. Vivi's words came back. The college sweetheart. That had to be the she-wolf. I kept
"Look, Kevin," I said. "I came out here because you said I could see the streets. I admit the view is not bad. But I should be clear that this doesn't mean we're back to being like before. You're right about the fact that this place is unfamiliar for me. And you're one of the handful of people I kno
Richard POV Before the date, It was right after my unplanned morning race that I got the report about a security server at Reign Oil Corp. It had malfunctioned, so I had to rush over immediately. Handling that kept me out of the pack all day. I couldn't return to the pack until close to sunse
I kept my eyes anywhere else but at the two Night Stormers heading towards the door. She liked warriors, huh. The irrelevant thought fleeted past my mind. Moments later, Ivy and I walked leisurely, yards behind the two. They seemed nervous because I was behind them. That was pleasing for some rea
Tessa POV "Kevin Fox will sit and watch!" Richard smiled briefly as he spoke. "That's my one condition. He'll sit and watch you repeat what you did to me last time. Can you do that? No? Please leave. I've lost interest in your body!" My fist tightened on the vacuum cleaner as I forced down the ang
Richard POV The girl gave me the most disgusted look and began to leave. As she walked past, Kevin's eyes didn't leave her. They followed, trailing her backside in shameless admiration. In a flash, I saw myself break his neck in a swift, quiet snap. It couldn't be hard to do since he was a bit on
Mother wolves got envious about stuff like that, so her behaviour was normal. My stomach rolled. I could feel myself getting ill. "Mrs Wolfe is desperate for a grandchild," Mrs Compton scoffed, echoing my thought. "She sure is," Tyrese muttered. I prayed silently that the two would shut up. Th
The three hours of sleep that I thought I could get before morning was nonexistent. Yet the night felt longer than ever. Kevin's words remained with me for the rest of the time while I laid awake, analysing all of my interactions with Richard Wolfe. At dawn, I came to the conclusion that indeed,
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
