Dominic shuts his eyes and turns away as if I’ve hurt him more than words could say.

Then he turns back and opens his eyes; they are red with unshed tears.

He stares at me, drinking in the sight of my face even as I look at him with indifference.

“Jess,” he calls. “How could you have moved on so completely when I’m still drowning in regrets? How come you’ve moved on so fast when I literally can’t live without you? Just how?”

I turn away from him and let Allister lead me into the restaurant. We

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   318. Westwood Pack

    ~Allister~Before we arrived at Westwood, I instructed Leo to inform Dominic of our coming and even set up a meeting with us once we arrived.Not willing to waste even a drop of time, we took the private jet.During the journey, I had Philip draw up a list of some of the places his brother has been to in the past one to two weeks, and we found out he’s been to Magu Island and a few cities around it.Aside from the fact that Magu Island is the same Island Jess went to on vacation, Jefferson was also confirmed to be there.And one of the cities Philip mentioned that his brother went to over the week piqued my interest because that was the city where my men later caught and arrested Jefferson.I stare out the private jet window as the clouds drift past. Then I sigh and lean toward Philip, who is seated beside me."If we find your brother, and he refuses to tell the truth,” my voice hardens, “I'm going to drag the truth out of him."The darkness that crosses Philip's face tells me he has

    I turn to see that four of my men have rushed forward simultaneously. Two are tackling Philip before he can fully transform.While Leo and another guard are restraining me.For several seconds, all I hear are growls, heavy breathing, and the sound of furniture scraping across the floor.Eventually, the rage begins to recede with my claws retracting.My breathing steadies, and I force my wolf back beneath my skin.Across the room, Philip does the same.Both of us continue glaring at each other, while I stand and stare down at my fingers as the liquid there catches my attention.I’d expected to see blood since I scratched his skin with my claws, but instead I’m staring at a differently colored liquid.My eyes narrow with a frown as I stare at Philip. The blood smeared across my fingers carries a faint green tint.I lift my hand to him, while we continue staring at each other. "So, this is how you were able to stay in my Pack without being detected. Isn’t it?"He doesn’t say a word."You

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   316. The Meeting

    ~Allister~The sun has already dipped below the horizon by the time I arrive at the meeting location.I spent the last couple of hours speaking to the surrogate mother, whom Angel had put away in one of the cells.A little threat and torture had her spewing facts that convinced me beyond words that my girl is innocent, and made it clear that Angel’s desperation to get back to his job has clouded his mind, not to investigate the matter thoroughly. Making me doubt every single judgment of his during this period.Marcus and our men are back, and they got back with Jefferson, who, despite all efforts and the numerous tortures they subjected him to, has refused to talk.I plan on paying the fool a visit and maybe peel his skin if that will be the length I need to go to get the words out of his mouth.But before that, I need to meet with the Varkai princes.Marcus didn’t find Jess with Jefferson Hoard. So, that means he doesn’t have her.Leo has a couple of our men undercover, tailing and f

    “What picture are you talking about?” I ask him, even though I know exactly what picture he’s referring to.But what I don’t understand is how the picture got to Allister Blackwaters.When it was obvious that Jessica White wasn’t going to be able to offer us the help we needed, I had to reach back out to Thryssa with a new proposition.They didn’t believe that I could easily get to Jessica White.They didn’t believe that I could deliver her to them on a platter. So, they asked for convincing evidence, which I sent to them by pulling images of my dinner with Jessica White from the first time I kidnapped her.So, how and why did they release those photographs?Why would they send them to Allister Blackwaters?What game are they playing?Philip is still staring at me, waiting for answers I refuse to give him.It takes me a little moment to finally realize that I’m not controlling events anymore.Thryssa might be using me."I don't know anything about Jessica White’s disappearance," I rep

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   314. Struck a deal

    ~Cicero~I’m pacing the room for what feels like the hundredth time, my eyes keep drifting toward the bed, wondering when she will wake.I’ve taken the precaution to bind her wrists together and tie them up against the bedframe.Now, I'm wondering if I did the right thing.“Damn it,” I mutter, dragging a hand down my face.If only everything had happened as we planned it. Jessica white was supposed to help us. She was supposed to be our strong connection to Allister Blackwaters.But with both of them now separated, every plan we built crumbled. Now, we have to find a solution to our problem from somewhere else, and that made me decide to continue my path with Thryssa, who, at this moment, is the only person who can get my Pack what we need."Alpha," one of my men calls as he enters the room. "Everything is ready." He adds. “The transport team is waiting." His eyes shift to the unconscious Jessica White. "Do you want us to move the prisoner now?"I look at Jess again. Not sure I wante

    ~Jess~I have no idea how long I've been here.Days, maybe weeks.Time no longer means anything inside this place.There are no windows, sunlight, or moonlight. Just stone walls, damp air, and darkness that seems to stretch forever.The only way I know time is passing is because someone brings me food once every day.At least, I think it's every day. I can't be sure anymore since I've stopped trying to count.I sit against the cold wall and pull my knees to my chest.Every part of my body aches, but my heart aches the most, especially when I remember Sebastian. The thought of him alone makes tears sting my eyes.I still can't believe that the person I trusted, the person who stood beside me all these years, the one who promised to always protect me, is behind this.Every time I think about it, it feels like someone is ripping my chest open.Slowly, I force myself to stand.My legs tremble slightly as I turn to the guard at my cell entrance. He’s standing there, rigid, like a statue."

    Allister’s lips curl with undisguised disdain. His eyes are cold as he looks down at me.“Fool,” he mutters.The humiliation burns through me. Never in my entire life would I have thought that I would be hurting this much just because of a mere Omega, who is, by all ramifications, way below my feet

    Philip’s eyes widen questionably at me, and just to be clear, I nod and reply, “Yes, Allister is my Fiancé. Now we have to go. I’ll see you around, Phil.”“Sure,” he lets out, looking like gallons of energy have been sucked out of him.

    The street light turns green, but Allister doesn’t move the car right away.“You don’t have to lean on me every time,” he says gently. “Just… don’t lock me out of your life.”His thumb brushes over my knuckles, slowly.“You have me. You’ve always had me.” He hums reassuringly.His words are simple
