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
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.
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
"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.
"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
