Kevin The look on Mrs Johnson's face made Kevin pause. "What did you say?" She asked with a creased brow. "The girl is whose daughter?" Only now did Kevin realize his blunder. Ah, well. The truth was bound to come out at some point, wasn't it? He had nothing to feel guilty about. After all, hi
Tessa POV "That's right, Mrs Wolfe," Denis nodded. "The Chief isn't home." "He's my son, Denis. I know he's gone to town." The voices grew more audible now and was mingled with approaching footsteps. I considered bolting into the library. I could hide between one of those giant shelves until
Tessa PoV Someone was texting furiously behind me as I walked beside the Senior Gamma. From my peripheral vision, I caught her glance around and roll her eyes. Richard's mom was taking me to her house, so I already had enough on my plate and couldn't be bothered to look back and find out who wa
Richard POV I called Mrs Wolfe's cell as soon as I saw Grace's message. As expected, she did not pick up. When I talked to one of her staff on the home phone, he said that my mother had an "important guest" and would return my call as soon as she could. The thought of Tessa Nile being interrogate
No, it was before that. I had been messed up since the night I caught her clumsily attempting to seduce a warrior in the male's bathroom. "Vivian Dust!" She broke the silence. "I don't know if you know her. We came from the same pack. She's my colleague." "The name rings a bell," I replied. "Yeah,
Tessa POV When Sara Reign came to get me from Mrs Wolfe's, all I could thing while looking at her was that here's the face of my newest saviour. As she smiled at me, I repressed the urge to rush up to her and hug her tight. With all of my will, I resisted setting down the task when she said my nam
He grabbed his coat and headed out again. He didn't wait or think or checked if anyone was looking. On the road, he walked past a few people but kept his focus on his destination. Without waiting, he went straight to Richard's door. He was about to press the bell when a click sounded and a Gamma w
Kevin To Kevin's great relief, the introductions came to an end soon enough. The guests looked cheerful and excited when they got up to leave. According to Mister Wallace, they had been passing by on their way to see the Chief-elder and only stopped by for a brief hello. 'Damn it.' Kevin had to
"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
