I could not make sense of what my beta had just said. I was trying to fake interest too, so I asked,"What do you mean I'm being charged?" "This is a summon, Nick!" He held out the envelope in his hands.The only thing disturbing about the bit of newsflash was the look on my beta’s face."Jake, sit down. Calm down. It's gonna be okay. It's a summon, you say?" I asked him.“By a government agency, Nick! It says the judge must see you in two hours. Apparently, they're in a hurry to get to you before you leave town,” Jake replied, still frantic.“What’s it about? What agency is this?” I asked.“Women and Child Protective Services,” he said, eyes never leaving mine..Now, my interest was piqued.“What could that type of agency possibly want with me? I’m already protecting my woman AND child!” The words fell out of my mouth absently. My eyes had now reverted to Sara’s three-word text where her signature should've been.I only realized what I had just said when no reply came from Jake. I

Regret and daydreams
I did not realize I had moved if not for Jake’s attempt to restrain me. My beta was almost as strong as me. I felt his strength as he tried with all his might to make me sit back down. “Please, Nick. Sit down. Please!” he begged, forcing me back on the chair. ‘If you act out, it’ll get harder. Everything would get worse,' he mundlinked me.'We’re not just werewolves but friends of the humans. We have a pact with their elite. They're important to our kind. Our ally packs would turn against us if you ruin that by hurting one of their own!’ My brain felt full as I tried to get it back online. I let my ass rest on the chair.“But that judge has to pay for what he just did!" I hissed. “Listen to me, Nick! You will not touch the man. He was doing his job.” "By tearing my family apart?"Jake’s frustration rose as I started to get up from the chair slowly. When my gaze met his, I heard distinctly the very words he didn’t dare say to his alpha. Even though he didn't open his mouth or use

Daddy rules Pt. 1
Sara POVI didn't hear from Nick or his beta after I left the penthouse. On the evening of the hearing, I borrowed my dad's truck to get Alex from school.As soon as my son saw the truck, he announced, "Janice won't be here.""That's right," I replied. "How did you know?""Daddy told me. He called Mrs. Bright and she let me talk to him. He can't come too, not today," he said as he climbed into the truck.I didn't know how to feel. Even though Nick had just saved me the pressure of having to explain all of this, I wondered if it was okay for him to talk to my son when it's not his turn."But is he coming tomorrow?" Alex asked. I was driving back to my dad's now."I don't think so, baby. He has to work," I replied.As I pulled over in front of the food truck, my dad was already waiting to leave for home. Today was not full business day for him because of the hearing. He regarded Alex’s confused gaze with worry.The ride home was silent. But as we entered the house, Alex continued his

Daddy rules Pt. 2
I nodded at the human female who looked about my age.“I see.”No cause for alarm, I told myself. But this wasn’t how it was supposed to be. It can't be right for him to just show up at my son’s school to pick him up. I should ask my lawyer. I rushed out of the school, impatiently waving at a cab.What was Nick's plan? Where had he taken Alex?A few long minutes later, the taxi drove into the resort driveway and I got out. As I entered the lobby and marched to the elevator marked Private, one of the guards watched without protest. He was the one in charge of the hotel guards. No one made a move to stop me like I feared. Moments later, I arrived at the penthouse. As the door slid open, I walked in and was about to dash up the stairs when Nick appeared.He stood at the top of the stairs in jean shorts and a t.shirt. I waited for him to protest my presence. It was his turn to have Alex after all. He said nothing. Instead, he started to saunter down the stairs.“Where’s Alex?” I bark

The time creditor and the BFF
What the bloody hell was Megan still doing in Orphic? Didn't she leave with Nick's mom? And she was here in this resort. Which meant she and Nick... That was still going on, wasn't it?Okay, it’s none of my business. I've moved past that betrayal a long time ago. These thoughts didn't stop my stomach from turning.I kept walking even as she stared at me. There was no rule that said I had to talk to her. Just pretend you don't know her, I said to myself.Then she called out my name. Too loud.“Sara James.”I didn't stop. When she called out to me the third time, I felt her grab my arm, forcing me to look at her."It is you," she said, making no effort to mask the bitterness in her tone.I freed myself from her grip."Hello, Megan." I kept a blank expression. “What are you doing here?” She asked.“I should be asking you. You live in Los Angeles, remember? Or did you move?"“Oh no, I still live there. Still a proud Forest Mooner." She gave a fake smile before adding, "I didn't whore my

Wolf's fangs, more foreboding
Megan DeereUnacceptable!Sara and Nick? That was still going on? Four years had gone by. The young alpha was engaged to be mated. And Sara was still in the picture?Megan lifted the large bowl of decorative sea shells and stones, throwing it at the wall as she screamed in rage.At the same time, a knock sounded on the door. She looked around wide-eyed at the mess. Another louder, insistent knock followed.“Who is it?” she snapped.“Security, Miss!” came the reply.She started to speak as she opened the door.“Sorry about the noise. I accidently dropped the…”Richard was the first to come into her line of sight. He had about three inches advantage on the guard who stood in front of him. As usual, his expression was unreadable.“There’s been a mistake, Miss Deere," the guard spoke."This suite was already taken. The clerk made an error. You’ll get your full refund plus 10% for the inconvenience, but you need to leave immediately."Meg watched the gamma as the lesser male yammered on wi

The chief's counsel
Nick POVI clenched my fist as I spoke through gritted teeth. “It's that damn Megan! Detain her till she tells you all she knows! Then make it so she can't repeat it to any member of the pack!"“Already did,” Richard replied. “She only knows that Sara is here, and you're both involved. We caught her guys before they reached out to her. Silly human kids trying to make some money. They’re never gonna report to her, don’t worry. She doesn't know about the little one.”I felt the anger washed over me. What the fuvk was wrong with that girl? I should’ve asked them to kick her out of the town, not just the resort. I needed to head back there immediately. But taking care of these types of problems was the same reason I had to remain here in the city for the rest of the day.“Where are they now? Mother and son?” I asked my gamma.“In her father’s house,” he replied. I nodded. “Call me if there’s anything else. Megan should be out of there once you’re through with her!”“Yes, Alpha,” Rich r

Woe is a friend untrue
Megan The alpha had his face down on his phone as he spoke. But Megan could sense his horror at the mere fact that she was here.She had been about to board the plane back to the city after that degrading interrogation. Then the Luna had contacted her and commanded her to stay put. It had been with mixed feelings that she'd gotten down from the plane. Hours later, she'd headed to the makeshift Reign office in the town.Now, here she was. From the distaste she sensed around the alpha, maybe another interrogation was underway .He was waiting for her to answer his question, yet still typing away on his phone. She allowed her eyes to roam his face and couldn't help recalling their younger days.“Did you hear me? I asked why you're here?"” he said.She opened her mouth to speak but ran out of words when he lifted his gaze. His eyes were truly enthralling. They held no pleasant emotions at that instance yet were as captivating as ever. How could he be Sara’s?“I'm here to work, alpha,” Me

Contrite heart
Sara POVI recognized the two people from afar before Alex gave an excited scream behind.“Daddeee!”"Shh... Alex! Don't call out to him like that," I warned.Nick and Meg stood inches apart by the sidewalk at the project site. I quickly refocused ahead. Or tried to. Megan was still here, huh? And so was the alpha.In a flash, the memories returned - of the two in each other's arms. I recalled the bitter words my former best friend spouted after that. But the kiss was the most vivid recollection. It was painful because Nick couldn't even say hi to me, his mate, in front of his friends.He seemed to sense us when the car drew close to them. As I zoomed past, he turned sharply. At the same time, my son screamed again, waving in delight."Daddee!" “Alex, shush! Stop doing that!” I snapped.“Why? It’s daddy!” he protested.How did I explain it to him that he was not allowed to call out to his father in public? Or at least in front of members of his pack? I felt sick.Megan’s eyes follow
