Maybe I could use the distraction too. Rather than lay in bed, wondering what to do and how to run into Richard again, it was better to look around the pack. This was an opportunity to see and get to know the area. Nothing wrong with that. I waited as moments went by. I had started to rethink my de
Tessa POV Richard's expression went instantly stoic as our eyes met. Then he averted his gaze so very casually. Like he didn't see me. "That's exactly what I crave," his date said with excitement in her voice. Vivi's words came back. The college sweetheart. That had to be the she-wolf. I kept
"Look, Kevin," I said. "I came out here because you said I could see the streets. I admit the view is not bad. But I should be clear that this doesn't mean we're back to being like before. You're right about the fact that this place is unfamiliar for me. And you're one of the handful of people I kno
Richard POV Before the date, It was right after my unplanned morning race that I got the report about a security server at Reign Oil Corp. It had malfunctioned, so I had to rush over immediately. Handling that kept me out of the pack all day. I couldn't return to the pack until close to sunse
I kept my eyes anywhere else but at the two Night Stormers heading towards the door. She liked warriors, huh. The irrelevant thought fleeted past my mind. Moments later, Ivy and I walked leisurely, yards behind the two. They seemed nervous because I was behind them. That was pleasing for some rea
Tessa POV "Kevin Fox will sit and watch!" Richard smiled briefly as he spoke. "That's my one condition. He'll sit and watch you repeat what you did to me last time. Can you do that? No? Please leave. I've lost interest in your body!" My fist tightened on the vacuum cleaner as I forced down the ang
Richard POV The girl gave me the most disgusted look and began to leave. As she walked past, Kevin's eyes didn't leave her. They followed, trailing her backside in shameless admiration. In a flash, I saw myself break his neck in a swift, quiet snap. It couldn't be hard to do since he was a bit on
I was sitting at my desk moments later when I decided that walking Kevin downstairs was stupid and a waste of three minutes of my morning. My meeting with the top warriors was in twenty minutes. That meant I had to be through reviewing these reports in another ten or fifteen. I didn't have time
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
