LOGIN“I need you to let Jess go,” I tell Doctor Philip, pretending to believe this picture must be recent.“What…we-we-we don’t have her. She was released to you. This-this…fuck!” he curses.“Alpha, listen, this isn’t what it seems like. It’s a long story. If you let me explain, you will understand-”“Go ahead,” I interrupted him. “I’ve got all day.”He goes on to share what happened between him, his brother, and Jess, and the fact that Jess had promised to help them through me, as my Luna.Knowing that the love of my life kept their identity hidden from me because of their own safety made my heart swell with pride.I knew she wouldn’t do the things Angel thought she did.But that brings me to a question: who then is trying to frame her? Who desperately wants her to go down?How did the picture on this table get out? Who took it and why?It's as if my thoughts and those of Philip are going in the same direction because our attention goes back to the photograph at once, and he lets out swea
This coffee shop is one of the few hidden gems we have in Silver Valley. I remember discovering the place years ago when they recently opened their doors to the public.Since then, I’ve had Leo order my coffee here mostly because of their use of traditional ingredients.Choosing here to meet with the Varkai prince was a great idea, and sitting here, disguised with glasses and a face cap while sipping moringa tea seems relaxing enough, especially with all the chaos going on in my life.The seat beside me gets rattled, and a fellow face cap and sunglasses lover, sits right beside me.I bring down my mug just a bit and take a slow view of my sitting partner.“Can I help you?” I ask, in a very calm voice.He slowly pulls away his glasses and drags his face cap up a bit to show his face before putting them back in place.Well, isn’t that shocking?The very man my fiancée introduced to me as her friend, the very man who saved my life when I battled a gunshot wound from a heavily coated silv
"But there is-” before he can finish speaking, Leo storms inside.His usually calm appearance is gone. His face is pale, and he looks terrified and very worried.Immediately, my instincts go on alert. "What happened?" I ask him.He looks from me to Angel. "It's Jess, Alpha," he replies."What about Miss Jess?" worry clouds me so much that I’m even surprised my voice came out steady.Leo swallows. "I just received information regarding Sarah White. She was out on a vacation with Miss Jess. She was found on the floor, shot and bleeding out."My wolf immediately stirs, almost to the surface, his protective instincts surging forward at the mention of Jess, probably in real danger."She's currently being treated at Greymark Medical Center." Leo continues. “But the big issue is that Miss Jess is nowhere to be found. We believe she has either been abducted..." he lowers his voice, "Or killed."Everything inside me stops. For one horrifying second, nothing exists.There is just rage, fear, an
Angel’s voice is calm when he says, "All of this means that Miss White just needed the surrogate lawyer released because the lawyer is a priority for whoever she's working with. And I believe she’s working with the Varkai princes."My gaze drops to the photographs with one of the princes again. I need to have that meeting as soon as possible.Though there is a high chance that the meeting with the prince would be a sort of setup to harm me, I need to be present.If they took Jess again, then I need to find a way to reach out to her and have her speak to me…explain to me what exactly is going on because I don’t believe anything Angel is saying, yet."Think about it, Alpha.” Angel continues speaking. “She refused to tell you who kidnapped her," he says. "Doesn't that make sense now?"I frown as I slowly begin to recall something Beshar Gabret told me during my last visit to his Park. He said one of the Varkai princes is a highly skilled doctor.Jess is a doctor as well. Is any of that a
~Allister~Ending the call with Beshar Gabret, I lean back in my chair, my mind occupied with the fact that he’s managed to secure a meeting with one of the princes and me.I rub a hand across my face and sigh.The past few weeks have been nothing but chaos. Having my men search and comb almost the ends of the earth for Jefferson hasn’t been easy, and being on Beshar’s neck for a meeting with at least one of the princes as well has been crazy.A knock sounds on my office door, and Angel pushes it open.Seeing him still limping, I immediately frown."What are you doing out here, again?" I ask him.He limps closer and drops a thick brown envelope onto my desk. “You need to see this, Alpha,” he tells me.I look at the envelope, then at him, "What’s in it?"Angel pushes his frame into one of the empty seats.“Alpha,” he calls. “It seems Jessica White has been playing all of us. And, I have proof."I eye him cautiously and slowly drag the brown envelope closer. "What?"I open the envelope
~Callahan~The steady beeping of machines fills the hospital room as I sit beside Sarah’s bed, my hand wrapped around hers.She looks so pale.For the hundredth time since arriving at the hospital in Greymark, I stare at the bandages wrapped around her shoulder and upper chest, silently thanking every god and goddess willing to listen that she is still alive.A doctor stands at the foot of the bed, flipping through a digital chart while two nurses monitor Sarah's vitals."Doctor?" I call, rising from my chair.The younger man looks up and offers me a reassuring smile. "Beta Callahan, she is stable."The reply makes me heave a sigh of relief."The silver bullet entered through the upper left side of her torso and exited almost cleanly. It left just tiny fragments of silver in there, which we’ve now removed," the doctor explains. "Fortunately, the trajectory missed all major organs. Her lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys were untouched."Thank the Moon goddess. I sigh. If anything had hap
My life is a pathetic mess.Jess left and took all the orderliness in my life with her. I can't stay a whole day without battling nonstop stomach pain, and it's beginning to alter my day-to-day life.Tonight is one of those nights that I regret ever letting Jess go. The stomach flare wakes me up fr
A surge of complex emotions overwhelms me, my heart beating so fast as I try to think of what my meeting with my dear father would be.After being away for four years, I’m finally home.Stepping onto the front porch, I tap my knuckles on the door in a soft knock.There is no response after a while,
~Rhea~A cane strikes the floor from across the room, my grandmother’s way of announcing her presence. Relief washes over me. I quickly push my seat aside and rush up to her. Hugging her, I point towards the table, and I slip my hand into hers, directing her to the only empty seat at our table.
I turn back to Nox, who is eyeing me like he’s struggling to understand my dilemma, and he shrugs.A suffocating feeling starts to crowd me.I have been thinking of calling Jess and convincing her to see me so that we can discuss the issue of my health and that of my mother.But getting blocked ever
