THIRD-PERSON POV

Damien had barely parked when he caught Nessa's scent. He stopped with his hand on the door handle, looking toward the house as his wolf stirred. For a moment, he wondered whether the long day had finally started messing with his head. He had spent enough time thinking about her since leaving the hospital that imagining her nearby did not seem impossible. Still, the scent was there, clear enough to pull his attention away from his tired muscles and the bag lying on the seat bes

  • Taunting the Alphas   Out of her mind

    NESSA’S POVFor the first few minutes, I actually did my job. I sat on a bench beside the field with my phone in my hand and watched the boys move through their drills, making notes whenever something caught my attention. It felt good to finally have something useful to write. Hunter rushed when he got tired, and Aaron seemed to waste a few steps before changing direction. I didn't know whether either habit happened often enough to matter yet, so I marked them as things to watch again. There was no point deciding everything about a player after seeing him for one afternoon. I had already learned how badly a quick judgment could go.Then Adrian ran past, and my thoughts became significantly less useful. His practice shirt clung to his shoulders, and his face had lost the lazy expression he wore whenever he was annoying me. He looked focused, watching what was happening ahead of him before suddenly changing direction. I followed the movement, my thumb resting uselessly against the scree

  • Taunting the Alphas   Focused

    NESSA’S POVI told myself not to think about what Adrian had said in the car. It should have been easy, considering how quickly he had returned his attention to driving. He had dropped that little comment between us, then started the engine as though we had been discussing the weather, and that was enough to make me suspicious. He wanted me to wonder. He wanted me to sit beside him trying to work out whether he meant it, and I refused to give him that pleasure. If he had something serious to say, he could find a way to say it without making me feel like I was being tested.Unfortunately, refusing to think about something and actually managing it were two different things. I kept remembering how he had looked at me when he said it, not smiling, and not obviously trying to get a reaction. That was the annoying part. If he had laughed afterward, I could have decided he was being his usual unbearable self and moved on. Instead, he had driven us to the field while I stared out the window,

  • Taunting the Alphas   'Get Yourself Together'

    NESSA’S POVI watched Adrian until he disappeared between the tables, which turned out to be a mistake. When I finally faced my friends again, Anna was staring at me with the sort of patience that meant she had no intention of letting me leave without an answer. Debbie had picked up her cup, but she wasn't drinking from it. Both of them looked far too alert for people who had been sitting quietly a moment ago. I reached for my bag, thinking I could check the time and use my next class as an excuse. Anna placed her hand over my phone before I could lift it. “No,” she said. “You don't get to do that.” She pulled her hand back, leaving the phone where it was, and nodded toward the path Adrian had taken. “Yesterday, I was ready to help you find somewhere else to live. Today, he's driving you around and waving at us like we're all going to be friends, and you just told him the misunderstanding was cleared up.” Her eyes narrowed. “Which misunderstanding? Because you left several things out

  • Taunting the Alphas   Almost Pleasant

    NESSA’S POVI could feel Anna and Debbie looking at us, even without turning to check. Their silence had become so complete that it stood out against the noise around our table. A few minutes ago, Anna had been ready to question every word I said. Now Adrian was sitting beside me, asking how much longer I planned to stay, and both my friends seemed willing to let me answer without interrupting, but I knew it was only a tactic to watch me and how I would react to Adrian. I refused to give them anything else to work with. I had already reacted badly enough to Anna's question, and I didn't need to make things worse by forgetting how to speak because Adrian had sat at the same table with us. I straightened slightly and kept my voice calm. “I still have a class after lunch,” I told him. “So if you're here to take me home, you'll have to wait until it's over.” There it was, a simple answer to a simple question. Nothing about the way I said it suggested that I had spent the morning writing

  • Taunting the Alphas   Unexpected Presence

    NESSA’S POV“No, no, no, no.” The words came out so quickly that I barely had time to breathe between them. I shook my head at Anna, then at Debbie, as though making sure they both saw it would somehow erase the choking sound I had just made. Their eyes were still wide, but Anna's surprise was already starting to turn into something much worse. Interest. I knew that look, and I wanted it gone before she decided she had discovered something worth digging into. “It's definitely not what you're thinking,” I added, sitting straighter and trying to sound less panicked.Anna slowly raised her brows. “What am I thinking?” she asked. The calmness in her voice made me want to throw something at her. A moment ago, she had casually suggested I had slept with one of the boys, and now she was watching me as though I had introduced the subject all by myself. She rested her arms on the table and leaned forward, studying my face. “I asked a harmless question, Nessa. You're the one overreacting.”

  • Taunting the Alphas   Walk of Shame

    NESSA’S POVI made it to class on time, which should have counted as an achievement after the morning I had survived. I found a seat, opened my notebook, and even managed to write the date at the top of a fresh page. After that, nothing useful happened. The lecturer stood at the front of the room speaking, but his words seemed to pass straight through my head without leaving anything behind. I watched his mouth move, nodded when other people nodded, and tried to look like a student who understood why she was there. Meanwhile, I was thinking about Adrian.More specifically, I was thinking about his lips. I hated that I could still remember exactly how his lips had felt against mine. Every time I managed to focus on a sentence from the lecture, some small part of the kiss would return and pull me away again. His hand against my cheek. My fingers caught in his shirt, and the awful, embarrassing sound I had made before kissing him harder. Heat crept up my neck, and I shifted in my chair,
