"Is she the reason you never called?" Ivy asked. "I've been busy." "I know warriors hook up with the common ones from time to time. Stress relief or whatever. I'm not naive, Ric. She-wolves like me are supposed to focus on what's important. That's what I'm choosing to do. Now, you and I haven't st
Richard POV We had now joined the traffic. Cars honked. People moved hurriedly about. The look on Tessa's face was that of wonder as she gazed outside the window. Wolves like her learned about the human world through TV and the media. Humans were a sister species, so it was easy to quickly mix w
"You needed to see me?" "Yeah, it's nothing serious. Let's see in your office." His phone buzzed at the same time. He pointed at my door then went inside, holding the phone to his ear. Without a doubt, I knew he'd come here out of curiousity. When I asked if I could take someone out yesterday,
Kevin Peyton and his partner stood by the door confused. They didn't know whether to proceed inside or not, as Kevin did not remember to invite them in. The first thought in his head was to push past them and race to the Chief. He quickly discarded the idea, turning around instead to go get hi
He made sure to find a space near the Chief's for no reason. As he rode up the elevator, he was unsure what he meant to do. Should he go to the big guy and outrightly request that Tessa return to the pack with him? No. That was unwise. But it was tempting as hell. When he reached the top floor an
Tessa POV When I discovered that Richard Wolfe was granting my request to go outside the pack, a series of emotions had nearly overcome me. Confusion about his girlfriend was one of them. Did they end things last night or what? Even though it had nothing to do with me, that thought had caused my
The cab driver took me where I asked him to. But when we arrived and I paid him, he insisted on my bigger dollar bill. The hundred! "Here's the charge, Miss," he pointed at the meter. "It says $68!" He seemed utterly impatient now. I wondered what would happen if I ran off. I knew for a fact th
Tessa POV Kevin looked as shocked as I was at the sight of Richard walking towards us. He hid it quickly as he said, "Chief, hello." "Hello." His tone was curt. "I-i saw her and thought she was working or something," Kevin explained. "Cuz she's dressed up and all. Then she left building. She
Kevin was appalled. "Listen to me, mother. Stay the hell out of s£× life, what the hell!" "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You need this and there's nothing wrong with that." As his mother spoke, his gaze unwittingly moved to the one without a mask. She pushed the jacket over her shoulder
Kevin After that episode with the wrongful warning, Kevin had always suspected that Richard Wolfe didn't really like him. Yesterday, he became sure that this was the case. He had gone over all of their interactions again and again and still could not determine why? The first time they met, the
Richard POV I grabbed a pillow, putting it over my head as my mother opened the door and entered uninvited. Dawn had arrived, judging from the light seeping through the curtain. I had barely gotten any sleep. "What's this I hear, Richie?" "What did you hear, mother?" I drawled. "You know what!"
Her words made me stop, then moved close so she wouldn't miss a syllable from what I had to say next. "Miss Johnson, here's the whole truth about me and Tessa, the servant. We had s£×!" Her face went white. Her eyes brightened as she asked, "So you lied?" "Nah..." I shook my head. "You asked
"It was during the fight with the other servant," Tina replied, taking a step back. "The Vivi girl insulted her mother, and... and Miss Johnson was there. We all tried to break off the fight. We tried to restrain the two girls. But not Miss Johnson. She hit Tessa Nile. Struck her in the face. Twic
Tina Nolan was the first person I saw when I reached the building entrance. She seemed relieved by my presence. I imagined how interesting the afternoon must've been for her, having to separate two fighting she-wolves. "Where's she?" I asked. "In her apartment. The girl she fought with, Vivian Dus
"I believe you, Ric. And because I know you won't, I sent a request that she come serve at the house. From tomorrow, she'll be at my place." My heart dropped. The very idea of Tessa being near her was appalling for some reason. I decided that this date was going very badly, indeed. It was ruined.
Richard POV 'What a day,' I muttered as I walked into the elevator. Tessa Nile's words rang in my mind when she said I would never touch her again. Those words had gone to settle in the back of mind until I had recieved the message that she was missing. That had to be what she meant. So all of
As I bared my fangs, she sent another hard strike across my other cheek. I tasted blood in my mouth. "Miss Johnson!" Miles barked. He was one of the guards. "That is enough!" "She's coming with me," the girl said in a calm voice. "I'm sorry, but she isn't going anywhere with you!" Tina returned.
