“Alpha, are we heading back to the hotel?” Gideon asks, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror.

I consider that for a moment, already regretting that I abandoned Rosie at the curb.

But she was suffocating me, and I really needed the extra minutes of solitude all alone.

Sighing, I point my thumb backwards. “Turn around and pick up Rosie.”

Gideon does as instructed. We met Rosie sitting on the sidewalk, completely overwhelmed with tears.

I look to the side of the seat she was previously occ

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   294. Two dynasties

    "Fifty-five-fourty-five?""Not going to work," I maintain.He slumps back onto his chair. “Let's leave it at Sixty-forty.” He almost pleads."That will not work for me either. The least I can reasonably consider is offering you twenty-five percent and thirty-eight acres."Besha glares at me. "You're just impossible.""So, I've been told," I reply calmly.His stare lingers. Then suddenly, he laughs. "You know what your problem is?""What?""You are stubborn."I smirk. "Like you’re any different, Besha. It takes one to know one."That earns me a laugh from him.Eventually, he relaxes his back into his seat, the tension on his shoulders easing slightly."Give me thirty percent and take fifteen acres."I stare at him, tapping my fingers against the table while evaluating the fairness of the offer."Thirty acres and I’ll think about it.”He bites down on his bottom lip, in deep thought. Then he spares a sideways glance at his Beta before replying, “Think about it then. I’d love to know wha

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   293. Resolving the conflict

    ~Allister~The moment I step into Frostland’s council wing, cold air brushes against my face.Leo walks a step behind me as we make our way toward the meeting room, with Frostland guards standing at attention along the corridor.I push open the doors and spot Besha Gabret already waiting inside.The moment he sees me, he stands and stares at me.For a second, neither of us speaks.The last few weeks have been a mess. A lot has been going on, and although I’m here in Frostland to see Besha, I still have in mind the photographs of Besha, Sebastian, and Collins Gabret Angel showed me a couple of days ago.Angel had been convinced something was wrong, and having known him for long, I do not in any way doubt that his instincts might be right.The truth is that a photograph alone proves nothing.Sebastian no longer represents Silver Valley on the Frostland oil field matter, but he has every right to travel wherever he wants.Whatever business he has with Besha or Collins could be personal.

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   292. Family and Vacation

    ~Jess~It's amazing how much a person can heal when surrounded by people who genuinely love them.The ache Allister’s rejection left behind still exists.But unlike the first few days after the breakup, it no longer feels like someone is squeezing my heart in a vice.Now it's becoming bearable.And I have my family to thank for that.Since I got back, nobody has ever brought up the topic of my breakup because they love me enough not to force me to relive it.Dad has been incredible every single day.Even when he spends hours at the construction sites overseeing projects, he always checks on me once he comes home.Sometimes he brings snacks and simply sits beside me while we talk about random things.Sebastian has been just as wonderful. He's practically moved into the house since I got back.Always checking on me, making sure I don't isolate myself, and dragging me into conversations whenever he notices I'm drifting into my thoughts.Sarah has also been an absolute angel. She has prac

    ~Allister~“Did she finally follow through with it?” I ask Emelda, Jess’s housekeeper and bodyguard.“Yes,” she replies. “She just left with her cousin Sebastian after moving her entire belongings back to her former apartment.”“Shit,” I mutter under my breath.“She left her ring behind, Alpha Allister,” Emelda tells me.“What?”“Yes. Her ring, the house keys, her car keys, and some boxes of clothes and accessories I believe contain gift items you once bought for her. I think she was hurt by the trending pictures of you and the Brumshill heiress.”I groan, rubbing my eyes.I still do not know how those pictures got out there. And worse still, they were taken from angles that made them look and appear oddly inappropriate.My purpose of visiting Brumshill had been simple, to meet the Alpha and find out more about the Varkai Princes.“Alpha Blackwaters?” Emelda calls, drawing me away from my chain of thoughts.“Yes?”“I think you should avoid making things worse by not hurting or humilia

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   290. Good bye Ashmere City

    The faint light of dawn creeps through my bedroom window as I sit by it, staring into nothing.I managed only brief moments of dozing all through last night. Each time I closed my eyes, haunting dreams of Allister deserting me always pulled me back into consciousness.In one of the dreams, I cried. The tears felt real, burning my cheeks as they fell.And I woke with actual tears on my face with my wolf, Arina, whimpering in my head, her distress echoing through our bond.She hasn’t exactly weaned completely of the wolfsbane gas from when I was kidnapped.But she’s way better than before. As I sit at the window, staring into nothingness, tears slip down my cheeks.I quickly wipe them away with my trembling fingers.A gentle knock on the door interrupts my misery. “Miss White? Are you awake? It’s time for breakfast.”Emelda’s kind voice carries through my bedroom door. I quickly pat my face dry and open the door. Emelda’s worried eyes take in my appearance. “Did you sleep well, Miss

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   289. Packing up

    ~Jess~“Are you really sure you want to do this, Jess?” Agnes asks, staring at the open, empty boxes on my bed.“Yes, Jess, are you sure about this?” Ursula’s voice is heard via Agnes’s cellphone, lying on the bed, the call set to speaker.“You both sound like I’m trying to disappear,” I reply, coming out of my walk-in closet with some of my shoes. “I’m only going home for a while. Before that, I'll pack my stuff back to my former apartment.”“Didn’t you leave there because your ex was disturbing you?” Ursula asks through the phone.“Well, yeah. But I don’t think he’s there anymore. I called the property manager, and she said he hasn’t been seen at the property in almost two weeks. So, he obviously left once he realized I truly do not want him.”“And you don’t think he would come back if he finds out that you're back?” Agnes asks.“Aggy, I’m not exactly heading back there,” I tell her. “At least not yet. I’m going home to Pasos for now. I’ve not decided if and when I’ll come back to A

    My eyelids feel like they’re stitched shut, and my body feels so heavy that I’m unable to move it when I try to. The scent of an unfamiliar cologne wafts through my nose. A stranger’s oozing breath ghosts over my cheek, and panic instantly sets in as I immediately force my eyes open. A man I’ve n
