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.
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
"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. Twi
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 a
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!"
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
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
"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
