She nodded at him once more, a lie she could not even tell with her mouth. He looked so hopeful at the thought of seeing her again, but Delilah was sure he would not get the chance to. Wiping her eyes, she marched out the door without another word. Her heart was in pieces, she did not know how to r
Delilah looked at Jeo who stood by the window, looking out there instead of at her. “Are you ready?” he asked. “I’m not, bu-but that doesn’t matter, does it?” “You’re right, I don’t care if you’re ready or not.” He finally turned to stare at her. “I know a rejection is strong enough to kill an ome
Jake sat in his office, glaring at the paperwork on his desk. It’s been a week and a day since Delilah left, and he’d been anxious throughout every second of each passing day. He missed her; her scent and her beauty and the warmth…the calmness he felt whenever he was around her. He missed her eyes,
“I’m going to Delilah…I believe she’s in danger.” He ripped his arm out of her grasp. “Tell Garth to watch over the pack while I’m gone…I’ll be back in a few days.” “Not her again, don’t go…for once, just choose me.” “Beatrice I…” He sighed when he saw her eyes filled with tears. “I can’t…I can’t
Jake got to the silver moon pack within the span of two days. It was still dark out, but Jake knew dawn was just around the corner. He stepped up to the border where the alpha’s men were standing, guarding the territory he could destroy with just the snap of his fingers. ~Well, that was if he’d brou
He kneeled in front of her, something he’d never done, and would never do for anyone else. “Delilah…are you okay?” She didn’t answer immediately, she didn’t answer at all. “Delila~” “No…” She sobbed out. “I’m not okay. I left thinking everything would get better, but it only got worse. Finding ou
“Shhh…just come here.” Using the hand he held, he pulled her up and she fell against his chest. “Let me hold you like you held me when I cried.” His hands draped around her waist, holding her firmly when she tried to pull away. The sparks he’d longed to feel surrounded him immediately, gathering th
“T-That’s not…I don’t think that’s ever going t~” “Please don’t shatter my hope.” He knew what she was going to say, his light was just about to burn him again. “Tell me what’s your next step from here, I’m anxious. Should I leave or will you come back with me?” She shuffled back and away from him
Jeo walked back to the shabby cabins where his men were. He was angry…at her and at himself. He regretted coming here now more than ever. It was all for nothing. She carried too much vengeance, the hate she had for him could never amount to love.A tired sigh left his lips as he shoved one of the ca
“You know, I was happy about coming here…I thought I could probably make something work, but with how much you seem to hate me for crimes I didn’t commit, nothing will ever work out between us. And I’ll just f*cking accept it.” River shifted her gaze away from him as he left, making sure to aggres
When the door creaked open, and he saw her leaning against the desk in the center of the room…that was when he breathed out…almost gasping at her beauty. She was wearing a bodysuit, one that covered but also showcased all of her. It was etched to her body, showcasing its every curve and the curves
Jeo came to a sudden stop in the woods he’d intruded. He could smell stale blood…stale werewolf blood. He could also smell the venomoons that resided behind the invisible lines that marked their borders. He couldn’t see it, but somehow, he could tell exactly where their lands started, and he didn’
Before Quinn could respond, Jeo quickly stood to his feet, holding a hand up. “I’ll do it…! I’ll do it…” His impatient yell and then whispered words gained him everybody’s attention, their eyes swung his way, all summing him up as though he’d gone mad. “Did you really just volunteer? Do you want
She took a seat in the last empty chair around the table without Zayd even having to tell her to. “I thought this alliance was about unity and peace, but there is no peace or unity when my people have to be on constant lookout for your next strike. We’ve withstood enough of this, if another mutt wal
Two weeks after the meet and greet, an official meeting was called and surprisingly, Jeo was to attend. He wasn’t exactly sure why Zayd wanted him to be present, he’d never been a part of something like this before…considering the size and the rank of his pack… He was sure this had something to do
And then she trudged through the door. Her words hurt, but Jeo followed her anyway, stopping when they made it to a door opposite to the one they just walked through. She sighed, turning to face him with eyes nonchalant and fierce; kind of like Quinn’s. “May I ask why you’re following me?” Jeo cl
She didn’t look at him for long, but he could see the recognition in those mesmerizing eyes. She knew who he was…and yet she…she ignored him? Why? And this aura she possessed…what was it? She wasn’t a werewolf…but her presence was strong. If she was the River Adams Zayd spoke of, then what exactly
