Sophie POVThe last time I stooped down to scrub a floor was four years ago. When I ran away from the pack, I vowed never to do anything that reminded me of the life I left behind.The only chore I did was my own laundry. I met Krystal shortly after I entered the human world and began working a job that gave me the ability to afford "the cleaning lady."I never imagined that I would ever do that again. My bones were aching when I finished cleaning the second floor of the building. The muscles in my arms and legs quivered from sheer exhaustion. I couldn't believe I was back to this life. These last few days felt like a bad dream. As much as I hated to be negative, I knew that the worst was yet to come. The mistress witch had more evil plans in store for me. I'd finished my work, and thankfully, the mistress received an order from above to release me for the night. Kyle and Vera appeared to lead me back to my cell.As we were leaving, I overheard her whispering to two low rank guard
Tessa NileAs Tessa shut the door, she recalled how, at first, Kevin Fox was merely Gamma Ryan's son. The firstborn and only child of the Fox household where she was assigned to work as a servant. Also, the first ranked male who was kind to her. He spoke to her like she was more than a servant. Even smiled at her. One time, he'd actually wiped the sweat off her brow when she was carrying the mopping bucket to go pour out the dirty water. She believed that was the day she fell for him.The two of them had started a secret relationship as soon as she came of age. But she'd soon realized that it was never a "relationship" to him.He'd told her bluntly that part of her duty was to warm his bed. Tessa had been devastated and was about to run away. The war had broken out in her former pack that same day. The Night Storm had gone under fierce attack. Her attempt to run away failed. Instead, she got captured and brought to the Forest Moon pack. That was how Richard entered her life. Lookin
Meanwhile, in the Forest Moon (Los Angeles)Tessa Nile"The priest will be here on the first sighting of the crescent new moon," Mrs Wolfe informed.Her amber eyes twinkled with excitement as she took a bite out of her yam. Tessa found herself thinking again that her mate had his mother's eyes. "I think he would stop at Jefferson to officiate Alpha Jett's wedding. Then he'll fly straight here. You two can't attend Alpha Jett's party..."She went on talking, but Tessa didn't hear the rest. At the mention of Jefferson and Alpha Jett, her anxiety had returned. She'd been trying her best not to worry like Richie told her to. She'd tried to focus on the fact that she and Sophie had reunited. It was hard, indeed. Kyle Blackwood, the warrior guarding her twin, was not answering her phone calls. Not only that. Richarch and Jett had talked earlier.Apparently, Sophie's sentence had been announced. Jett promised light punishment, but eight months in prison and restricted movements afterward d
Jett POV "Merritt, I believe you. You didn't send her here," I said. He may or may not be telling the truth. No need to start a fight if he insisted that he was innocent. There was no evidence to the contrary, so we would watch and see how it all played out. "So we're okay, right?" "Yeah, we're okay," I replied. I expected him to return to his pack, but he didn't leave immediately. He seemed unconvinced. It felt like he needed reassurance that we were still friends. "You don't look alright," I said gently. "I feel better knowing you believe me," he replied. Like him, I was not feeling alright in the slightest. My wolf was restless. I needed to go for a run, but there were things to take care of with my warriors first. I couldn't take my mind off the girl. The look in her eyes when I delivered her to the Head Servant was haunting me. Well, whether she was guilty of spying or not, she had to serve punishment for all the other crimes. I shouldn't be this bothered about making he
Sophie POVShelly Sandner, also called Mistress Sandner, was in charge of all servants, including those whose sole duties were to provide sêxual pleasure to the elite males of the pack. She was promoted right after my mother died. The old female hated my mom. She despised me and my twin and would have made our lives hell if Goddess had not intervened immediately. By intervene, I meant sending Ryan Fox and Andy's dad to specifically request for Tessa and I to come work in their respective households.Was Jett about to deliver me to the evil mistress? I grew terrified. My lips quivered as I considered begging him not to take me to her. I looked up at her little window, and there she was, wide-eyed and excited that the Alpha was seeking her out. She rushed out at once."Alpha," she greeted with an exaggerated bow. "Welcome.""Thanks, Mistress Sandner," replied Jett. "I brought you a gift."Only then did she notice me. Her eyes widened some more. Evil delight shone in them as she gasped
Sophie POVJett was watching me with a glow in his green eyes that could only spell rising anger. It took a moment to realize that the strangely familiar male with him had just called me Raven."How do you know my name?" I asked. Maybe Jett told him. "Do... we know each other?" I asked hesitantly. I did know the guy. Well, I didn't know him per se. I saw him once at my old workplace in Baton Rouge.That was the last night I stepped foot in the Bleeding Heart Night club. Although, he was the real reason for my leaving. I'd saw him on the same night that Larry, the manager, had tried to assault me. I'd been trying to get away after injuring him. I recalled the sound of an ambulance coming down the street. This male had just come out of a luxury BMW when I snuck into the parking lot on my way out. I'd thought him an ordinary clubber till I moved close enough and sensed that he was a werewolf. My heart had shot to my throat, but I kept my cool, maintaining a stoic face as we walked p
