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
I was sitting at my desk moments later when I decided that walking Kevin downstairs was stupid and a waste of three minutes of my morning. My meeting with the top warriors was in twenty minutes. That meant I had to be through reviewing these reports in another ten or fifteen. I didn't have time
The previous day (after the date) at the Fox's Kevin A few hours had passed since Kevin returned from his date with Tessa Nile. The dissatisfaction still lingered in his gut. Things weren't going his way at all. How did he change that? Tonight was his very first date with the girl. He couldn't
"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
The Beta's face remained stoic as he regarded me. Then he said, "Look, don't tell anyone I told you this. We haven't found any evidence that you want revenge, so you're good. For now. No one's going to hurt you. Every wolf from your pack is being questioned just like you. They're all being held on
Tessa POV Three days had gone by since the Alpha and Beta took me into custody. Gamma Richard might as well have bound my hands when he led me out of his house that night. I had not set eyes on him since then. When they were bringing me to this cell, I considered mindlinking him. But because of th
