"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
More importantly, I would never see Sophie again for sure. I didn't notice Kevin waiting by the door until Richard spoke in a harsh tone. "Mister Fox, this matter is between Miss Nile and the warriors. You need to stay out of it! That means return to the office or wherever you please. I need you
Tessa POV When they brought me back to the pack, Tina was waiting when I got out of the car.. No doubt, she had received instructions from her boss on what to do to me. A part of me was curious about what that might be. Would I be flogged? Maybe I would be locked up in a hole. Forever! The two mal
I'd ended up in this motel around 1 AM after hours of running and hiding. Which I was beginning to believe was redundant. I'd sat, shaking my legs, waiting for the Alpha wolf to knock on the door. Oh, he would knock, no doubt. He seemed like the posh, well-mannered type. The boring, peaceful sou
Penny listened to the Luna with kin interest, her lips parted slightly. Kevin decided he hated the nursing job too. Because she could run into her former customers while in the medical house. His gut settled down a bit as the Luna went on with other suggestions. "If you don't like that, there's
Kevin Kevin waited by the shrub far from the mansion until he was sure that Tessa and Richard had left the building. Penny was in there too. He'd called the reception earlier, and they confirmed that she had arrived. He had been mildly shocked that she didn't refuse this meeting. Her tone was
Richard POV For the next few seconds, Alpha Jet looked like he was staring at a ghost. Then, the color gradually returned to his face as he recovered, though he didn't look away from Tessa. Raven. That's what he just called her. Clearly, he had her mixed up with someone else. But that didn't give
Later that morning, Richard and I walked into the Chamber of Oaths where the Alpha and his family were already waiting. The candles of various colors gave sufficient light to the vast room. The smell of incense and beeswax filled the vast space. Richard led me to stand before the Alpha and his he
Tessa POV I opened my eyes to the sunlight dripping into the vast bedchamber through the curtains. It was the morning after my release. As I came awake gradually, I started to think that I dreamt the events of the last few days. That Richard Wolfe was not my fated mate. Last night was just a swee
"So who and who did you service these last few weeks?" He blurted the question. "What do you care?" She snapped again. "What do I care? Are those the only words you know?" "Kevin, shut up. Let the elder finish talking," his cousin said. He couldn't believe he was getting told to shut up by his
Kevin It is the morning after the full moon and Kevin is sitting in his living room, staring at his phone, unable to tear his eyes away from the social media post before him. The coffee taste in his mouth had gone very bitter. His stomach twisted and he felt like throwing up. Uncle Evan and his
He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it. "So please, I beg of you, let's put the past behind us. Don't say you can't stay with me. We belong together." I nodded. Then he bent to kiss me on the lips as I began to speak, "I want to stay with you..." "I love the sound of that." He stole his ki
