Chapter Seventy Nine

LOGAN’S POV“Logan?” my mother called, walking out of her apartment. “How long have you been out here?”“A while.”“Why didn’t you come in?”“I… wasn’t ready.” I could feel her gaze on me, searching me. After a long moment of silence, she walked down her front steps and joined me on the porch, where I’d been seated for the past two hours.“Are you alright?”“No. I’m not.” I said, Because there was no point in lying or pretending that I was.“What happened?”“Why do you think I’d want to talk to you about it?”“I don’t know, maybe because you’ve been sitting on my porch for gods know how long, or perhaps it’s the fact that seeing you like this breaks my heart and I want to know how I can be of any help.”“I need to ask you a question. How did it happen, you and Falcone—how did it happen?”I’d never asked her, and neither had she offered to tell, but for some reason, I needed to know now.“How did it happen?” she repeated. “In truth, I do not know. I don’t know how I ended up his mistr

TESSA’S POV “Luna,” a pack member called as she walked up to me. I think her name was Stela.“Stela, right?”“Oh my god, you actually know my name. I just wanted to say that you look really good today.”And yes, the pack members had been overly nice since the fight against Aaron. A lot has changed since then, actually. For one, I was a werewolf. Yes, I was yet to make a first full shift, but Wraith believed that the chances I’d be able to by the next full moon were pretty high.“Thank you, and I love your braids,” I complimented. “My sister made them. I always tell her how good she is at it, I guess now she would believe me.”“If you’d excuse me, I need to find Angelina.”“I actually spotted her heading to the pool; she might still be there.”“Thank you, Stela.”“My pleasure.”With that, we split ways.As I walked by pack members, they all bowed in acknowledgement. Well, it would take some time to get used to this.A smile stretched on my face as I made my way to the pool, but th

Chapter Eighty One

I stood by the door to my mother’s apartment, fidgeting. How hard could it be to reach out and knock? I took a deep breath, and then I lifted my hand to do exactly that, but at the same moment, the door swung open.Standing before me was my mom and… a man.After the talk I had with Wraith, I decided he was right and perhaps I’d been a little too rash. But now, I couldn’t help but wonder if my coming was a mistake.“Tessa!” My mother called, clearly surprised to see me; from her red puffy eyes, I could tell she’d been crying.“Mom. I was just… passing by.”“Oh,” she said, quickly hiding her disappointment. She turned to the man by her side. “This is Derek. Derek, Tessa, my daughter.” So, this was him.The man’s gaze met mine, and I couldn’t help but notice that he was indeed nothing like any of those men my mother brought home in the past. For one, his breath didn’t reek of alcohol; secondly, he looked… responsible.“Mom, can I talk to you alone for a moment?”“Yeah, of course. Umm,

Chapter Eighty Two

WRAITH’S POVI could feel the excitement buzzing in the air. It was a full moon, and that meant werewolves who just got of age were expected to make their first shift. Full moons were, to werewolves, the best part of the month.“It’s going to hurt, isn’t it?” Tessa questioned.“For a moment, yes, but after that…” I trailed off, the feeling of being in one’s wolf form couldn’t be put into words. In that form there were no restrictions, just pure freedom and power. It felt like a kind of high, one many would love to remain in for the rest of their lives, if they could.I’d once been a new shifter, and just like many other werewolves, I felt that high, but unlike them, I could remain in that form if I chose to and so I had to train myself on how to let go. “After that?” she questioned.“It’s… blissful.”“Really?”“Yes.”“But what if I don’t shift? What if my wolf isn’t strong enough? What if—”“If you don’t shift, it’s completely fine. That doesn’t make you any less, I promise.”Finally

REX’S POVI sat on a stool before the canvas. I rarely ever painted, and the last time I did… she was my muse.My thoughts returned back to her. For the past weeks, I’d been trying hard to keep her away from my thoughts, but today, I wouldn’t have torture myself trying to do that.I let memories of her flood into my mind. Every smile, every laugh, every expression—I thought about the softness of her hair, the curve of her breasts, and how her lips parted when I was inside her. I thought about her happiness, her sadness, and then her anger.I picked up the paintbrush, and I began painting. In my imagination she was still here, right in front of me, with a flirty smile on her face. I lost track of time as I painted, and finally I was done.I put down the paintbrush and wiped my paint-covered hands on a piece of rag.Perfect.This was my best work yet. I’d manage to capture a moment on canvas.There was a knock on the door right before Richard walked into the studio.“Alpha.” He called,

DANIKA’S POVIt’s been almost a month since I moved into this apartment, and yet, my boxes remain unpacked. It was almost like I wasn’t ready to call this home. Well, that’s going to change today. I got to work, unboxing my things and fitting them where they belonged.But then I was interrupted by the knock on the door. I paused; I wasn’t expecting any visitors.Quickly returning to my room, I rummaged through the drawer for the Beretta pistol. It was the only thing I’d taken back with me from the Iron Claw pack. I couldn’t help the flood of memories that came rushing back as I held it. I shut it all out before heading to the door.Looking through the peephole, I could tell that the curly-blond, elegantly dressed woman on the other side of the door was a stranger. I flipped off the gun’s safety before pulling the door open.“Hi, can I help you?” I questioned, keeping my weapon hidden.“You’re… Danika, right?” she said, a warm smile on her face. I’d never seen this woman before, and
