Sara POV“Good morning, daddy,” the child said, a happy smile coloring his eyes.“Good pup," Nick said to him. "Now why don’t go with Janice and the beta. Your mother will join you in a moment, and I'll see you soon."Jake emerged with the half-wolf nanny they hired for my son. I tightened my lips, holding back from lashing out in front of Alex. It was too early.Alex nodded and went to meet them as Jake took his little hand. Within seconds, they were out of sight. Only then did I see the envelope sitting beside Nick on the sofa.“The paternity test came out," he said."But that's just for records as you already know. We both know you and I made that child. He's OUR flesh and blood. Do you know your father is trying to get his humans to keep me from my child?"“What are you on about this morning?” I snapped.“Ah, you didn’t know he talked to some lawyers. The retainer was a little too much for him, so he wanted to snooze on it. But when he went back a few hours later, they wouldn't tak

Elise ReignThe Luna halted on her way up the airstairs. She was overcome with that familiar stirring that she felt when she first entered this town. The feeling she caught when they were stopped by that police car. A scent accompanied it this time. One she was now acquainted with. Her breathing hitched, but she didn't dare turn around to look.'Get it together, Elise,' she cautioned herself silently.As she got into the jet, she caught sight of the one person that threatened her general composure.The Sergeant was racing towards the waiting private jet as she lowered herself to the seat.Her heart sped up again, and her palms went clammy as she watched him through the windshield. The pilot was ready to take off.“Hayes, hang on,” she ordered. “What could the policeman want?” Hayes scoffed, wondering aloud. He was undoubtedly irritated with the delay. “Beats me,” the Luna replied absently. "And so early in the morning, too." The Sergeant was now arguing with the human guards as th

Nick POVI had my cell phone to my ear, giving instructions to Richard about pack's security when my Ipad buzzed again. It was another message about her.The mother of my child left the resort moments ago. She didn't leave with our son. Instead, she'd called her regular human babysitter to watch him. Janice was still on duty though. “How soon does Hayes get here with the jet? I need to leave for Orphic immediately!" I said to Richard.It was after work hours. Sara couldn't be going out for groceries. She was "somewhat dressed-up," according to Lindsey. A date. That was the only explanation I could think of.When I finished my call with my gamma, I dialled her number. Again. Still turned. I bet it was to avoid my calls, no doubt. I wanted to hurl the phone at my door but clenched it so tight that the screen cracked. Then I let it fall on my desk.What if there's an emergency with the child and they needed to reach her? When I opened the message to view it in full, I saw that a twelv

Sara POVMrs. Montgomery was acquainted with the Reigns. She advised that the details on Nick's agreement were not "so bad considering the fact that he's an ex."The situation was a shared custody. I would have full and equal access to Alex. The only problem was the fact that the child must live where his father chose. And I must live with the child. Which meant Nick invariably decides where I get to live. Was I to endure that for the rest of my life? No way.She advised me that I couldn’t win a custody battle with a Reign. First of all, I couldn't even afford it. So the best move was signing his agreement first to throw him off our tracks.The most important thing she said was that Nick Reign wasn’t taking the child away from me. He was just making it illegal for me to run away with little Alex. Following her advice, I'd put my signature on the document there in her office.It was the best way to keep him from suspecting that I was making any move. Ever since I signed it, I'd been ea

At first, Cassie was confused by the former rogue's words."You're mistaken, Bronco," she said. "Is the alpha upstairs?""Please call me Oak. I don't go by Bronco anymore. And yes, the alpha is upstairs," he replied."Then take me to him!" She started to turn away when he replied."We have to let him know you're here first, Miss White. Like I said, he's got guests. I can't just take you to him.""What guests? Are they business partners?" The look on his face made her feel foolish. What he said earlier echoed in her head before he repeated himself."His... the young Luna is up there, Miss"Cassie wanted to strike the male across the face. She wanted to stab his throat with her claws repeatedly until he got his mind right.How could he dare call someone else the young Luna? Forest Moon had one of those at the moment, and that was the senior Luna, Elise Reign. She, Cassie, was going to be the younger one soon.She took a deep breath to cool her fury. As she stared at him, he stared bac
