Nobela ni Sam Nixon

Lucien’s touch made her feel a spark within her that threatened to burn her world apart.His right hand cupped her cheeks as he got down on her, while his left hand slowly began to pull away her clothes. He did not speak, didn’t need to. The desire in his eyes was more than enough to convey what he wanted to do now.Just like Lucien, Aria’s eyes were filled with hunger, lust and desire. Her emotions told him that she still couldn’t believe that they were here.No matter what had been thrown at them, the couple had survived.Aria leaned in and planted her lips on his,Lucien’s hand moved down until it was just above her breast, then, he slowly began to fondle them.Their kiss dissolved from a spark into a raging wildfire.Even as Aria lost herself in him, her hand still moved down until they were holding his large cock, Lucien gasped.His tongue held hers as they kissed. This wasn’t a soft kiss. It was the kind that carried every unsaid word that had ever flickered through the mind, the

3 DAYS LATER!!!It had been three whole days since the fight had happened that had rocked the clawhold.3 days since what has now been called the massacre, three days since the Vine Clawhold had changed forever.In the middle of the throne room.Lucien sat on his throne, wine expertly in his hands, and Aria by his side.Sitting in one of the seats of the throne room was Elder Lance, and he was laughing.“Well, well, well, young man.” Lance chuckled, “I did not know you were that adventurous.”“Oh, I always was.” Lucien smirked, “Tell me, what was your most dangerous adventure, old man?”“Hey!” Lance called out with a smile, “Just because I no longer have a wolf, doesn’t give you the right to call me names.”It was a joke, one that Lance had repeated multiple times, mainly because it was the best way to push through the trauma he now felt.“Damn weavers,” he cursed under his breath,“Oh yes, Elder Lance,” Lucien replied with a frown, “Damn weavers.”“I still can’t believe that the capt

Aria blinked,“Rose!” she screamed, scrambling forward towards her friend.At the same time, her fingers twitched, she pulled in more of the weave than she ever had before, and sent it towards Silver.The bolt hit the woman and she stumbled back,For a moment, nothing happened, and then, she exploded.Her body blew up in a mix of gore, blood and bones.The shadow’s face had long gone blank, her fear was gone,In its place was grief.She stumbled to her feet, all fear drained from her mind. Right now, she couldn't care less if Lucien decided to end her life.What else did she have to live for?Her daughter was dead, her right arm was gone, her charges were dead. Her life had completely fallen apart. And she couldn’t even go back to the northern academy, because she knew that if she did that, she would be killed.In a very real sense, her life was over.Lucien stepped aside and let her pass.Her grief over her child was genuine, and he was not going to stop that.He was going to kill th

Aria frowned,The weavers had regrouped.They were no longer just content to flank her.No, this time they were doing something entirely different. Something she never knew was possible.She had not intended to kill the other weaver, especially as she knew that the lead weaver was Rose’s mother. But things had happened, and she wasn’t going to say she regretted it.No one was going to take her away from her mate. No one.The two weavers met, held hands and the strands of the weave around them began to glow and converge. For a moment, Aria blinked, shocked and puzzled at what they were doing, but it was only after a while that she realized they were forming runes.“You can do that?” she asked, shock and excitement flushing through her body,If this was any other time, she would actually be glad to have a weaver teacher. There were so many things she needed to know that she didn’t, but this was not any other time. This was hers.“Stop this,” Aria yelled, backing up.Her instincts flared

Lucien froze the moment he saw Elder Lance pull out the flask with the purple liquid.He immediately knew what it was, Wolf’s bane. Wolf’s bane was perhaps the most feared and also the most coveted herb in the world. While being a potent poison to wolves, it could also be processed into an even more potent amplifier,When it was made into the amplifier form, it tore the body apart and rebuilt it with such force and ferocity that most wolves died just from the pain alone.If that was the only problem with wolf’s bane, a lot of clawholds would have used it. But there was an even more severe side effect to using it, one that made it the last resort for any wolf.Anyone who used it would never be able to shift again once the transformation ends.In essence, it gave you a couple of minutes of unfiltered raw power, and then, you would lose your wolf.This time, when the amped-up form of the elder began to barrel towards him, Lucien lunged forward with the utmost seriousness. But it was alr

The Shadow’s POV: Eleanor, the shadow, moved like a shade. Being a shadow didn’t just mean being silent, it also meant being invisible.And right now, as she rushed through the Vine clawhold, she was a thought, silent, unseen, unpredictable.She pushed her control of the weave to the maximum, Gold and Silver ran beside her in a flanking position. They moved fast, but also made sure that their footsteps were not visible in the snow.When they reached the castle, a pang of fear rushed through Eleanor’s heart as she spotted the large number of wolves crowding across the now closed castle gates.She led her charges forward until they infiltrated the crowd. Very soon, they all got the information they wanted.Orion had walked inside the castle, and he had done so while being accompanied by an older alpha. None of the wolves knew who the alpha was, but the shadow did.She regrouped with Gold and Silver and the three of them immediately passed through a hidden ridge at the edge of the castl

Sylas’ POVPacing didn’t help, I knew that, yet no matter how hard I tried, I could not stop myself. My steps echoed loudly against the polished marble floors of the estate. Each turn I took was tighter than the last, and each breath heavier than it should have been.For the past hour, I have had my phone pressed tightly against my ears.“No, that’s not good enough,” I snapped into the phone. “I don’t care how many warehouses you’ve checked, check them all again. Find her.”There was a pause as I listened to my lieutenant ramble on about another excuse on why he had not yet found my mate.“Do you want me to remind you what happens when you fail me?” I asked through gritted teeth.He didn’t wait for an answer before ending the call, the silence that followed was one of the most unbearable things ever. For the first time in years, I felt fear. It sat heavy in my chest and it was both unfamiliar and unwelcome.The thought of my wife being hurt was enough to make my jaw tighten. Cassian h

Vera’s POVPain was the very first thing I felt when I woke up. It slammed into me with the force of a truck. The moment I regained consciousness.The pain that assaulted my senses was sharp and completely unforgiving. Even seconds after I realized I had regained consciousness, my skull felt like it had been split into two and crudely sewn back together.A groan slipped past my lips as I tried to move, but even that small motion made the world spin violently around me.“Ah,” a voice drawled, smooth and amused, “There she is.”My eyes snapped open, and that was the biggest mistake I could make.The light around me was no longer kind, it stabbed into my vision and I winced, both in shock and confusion. With a grunt, I squeezed shut my eyes, took a couple of seconds to regain my bearings before opening them again.And that was when I saw him, Cassian. He was leaning casually against the wall, with his arms crossed, and with a gaze that showed he enjoyed watching me.“You hit me,” I raspe

Cassian’s POV Cassian didn’t rush. He made it a point to never ever rush. Besides, he wasn’t going to do that when everything was going the way he wanted it to. His boots echoed loudly against the concrete floor as he walked through the warehouse, the faint scent of oil and iron was thick in the air. His men moved around him with urgency in their steps. Some of them were loading crates, others were speaking in low tone, none of them dared to even look up and stare into his eyes. They all knew better. By the time he finally reached the small room he considered as his office, his expression had long since settled into something calm. He pushed the door open and stepped inside, shrugging off his jacket as he moved toward the desk. The only light in the room was coming from a small window at the extreme edge of the office. This was his place of inffluence. With a slow smile spreading across his face, Cassian leaned back against his desk, pulling out his phone which he had placed o

I blinked, the words that had just left his lips did not make sense in any way. That was not Sylas. A mafia boss was not the man who held my hand in the garden, it was not the man who watched me eat as though it was the most fascinating thing in the world.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “That’s not true. You are lying.”Cassian’s lips curved into something that felt dangerously close to a smile,“I’m not shocked that you don’t believe me,” he paused, and leaned towards me, “But I have a question for you. Why would I lie?” he asked softly.“I don’t believe you,” I shot back. I tried to keep my tone even, but my voice lacked the conviction I wanted it to have. “I know you’re lying. Why else would you kidnap me? All of this is just some ploy to mess with my head.”“Is it?” He tilted his head slightly, and began to study me like a puzzle he wanted to solve. “If this was all just a kidnapping. Why do you think I haven’t asked for a ransom for you? Why haven’t I used you against him ye

Vera’s POV:Not for one second did I trust him, but I still decided to follow him anyway. The moment I stepped out of the white room, the air changed.The air was no longer as clean as it was inside the room, it now smelled like rust, oil and something else, something stale. That immediately told me we were probably in the industrial district of town.Cassian walked ahead of me with casual strides like he had all the time in the world. He was acting like I was not a hostage and like this was a tour between friends. Even though I had not taken his hand, I still stayed a couple of feet behind him while my eyes moved constantly and began to note the hallways, corners, or anything that could be a possible way out.We walked through a long corridor that was dimly lit. The flickering lights above were so dim that it cast everything in shadows that just felt wrong.“This place,” I finally spoke as I glanced around, “What is this?” The question I really wanted to ask was ‘where’, but I did no

Sylas’ POVThe meeting was dragging, not because it wasn’t important, it was, but it was dragging because my mind really wasn’t in it. Loud voices filled the boardroom and I occasionally glanced up when projections, numbers and strategies were brought up.But none of them mattered or were important enough to grab my attention. My mind was only focused on my wife, Vera.I could still recall the way she had smiled this morning when I had woken up by her side. I only snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed that all the directors were staring at me.“Chairman,” the speaker called out, “I asked what you thought about the new acquisition,”I nodded, “You all can proceed,”“Okay, good,” the speaker said as he turned around to face the boardroom and continued speaking, “-with the acquisition now approved, we can expect—”The door burst open and everyone turned to face the door. My assistant stood there with a face so pale, it immediately sent me on high alert. His eyes locked onto mine imme

For a very long moment, I could not breathe. Everything around me had long since faded into a blur, from the towering moon vine, to even the glow of the moon's light. All I could see or feel was him, on one knee, while holding out a ring that carried more weight than anything else I had been given in both this life and last.My heart pounded so loudly in my chest that I was sure he could hear it. This was all real, it wasn’t calculated or forced, it was just him, choosing me. From the corner of my eye, I noticed wolves emerging from the shadows.Dozens of them, they kept their distance, but I could tell from their gazes that they were respectful and hopeful. Like they already knew what this moment meant to both of us.My breath hitched as I realized that this was not just about me anymore. This was about them, my gaze returned to Damien.And something inside me shifted and softened completely. I looked into his eyes as I saw clear as day, his love for me. There were no hidden agendas

My fingers slipped into his the moment he extended his hand towards me. The moment we touched, all my nerves immediately calmed down, from my nerves to all the weight I felt in my heart, and even to the thrilling realization of what my future was about to be.All of those emotions and thoughts settled into something that was far warmer and steadier. Damien’s thumb brushed lightly against the back of my hand as he turned slightly and began to guide me deeper into his home,“Come,” he said softly.And with that single word, I was led into his world.The moment Damien made sure I was ready, he immediately started the introductions. Up close, the elders were far more imposing than they seemed when I was looking at them from afar. All of them stared at me with sharp, assessing gazes. Initially, I thought they didn’t like me, but when I moved past their sharp gazes, I realized that beneath them was approval and respect.Damien cleared his throat, grabbed my hand tighter and began to introdu

Nyssa’s POV:“—and the flowers have to be imported. I will not have local arrangements at my daughter’s mating ceremony, absolutely not—”“Mom,” I called out,“And the venue! Oh my God, Nyssa, have you thought about the venue? Because I already have three in mind, but if we’re going to host alphas, then it has to be—”“Mom.” I called out again to obviously deaf ears.“And the caterers! No, wait, music! We need live music. Not just any music, something classical but also modern, something that screams elegance and—”“Mom!” I finally burst out, groaning as I pressed my hand on my forehead for a brief second.When silence finally descended around me, I let out a huge sigh. I had never needed silence that much in my life. I finally turned my head slowly to look at her,“Yes?” she asked, staring at me with wide, innocent eyes.I stared at her, then I laughed. Because honestly? This version of her was new to me, and while I didn’t like listening to her ramble on forever, I still loved her w

Everything in me went still. The warmth from earlier, the ease and satisfaction I felt just a little while ago didn’t disappear, but they did evolve into something very sharp.My expression didn’t change, but my gaze hardened instantly.“Why is she here?” I asked,Blade shrugged,“She didn’t say much. Just that she needed to see you.”Of course, she did. A slow breath left my lungs, and my mind was already moving, assessing and calculating what her plans probably were. I already knew what she wanted to ask, and I already had my answers.I glanced toward the entrance of the estate, then back towards Blade.“Well,” I said calmly as I began to walk towards the meeting hall, “let’s not keep her waiting.”The walk to the waiting room felt longer than it should have. Not because of distance, but because of the memories that were springing up into my mind, each step I took echoed faintly against the polished floors of the estate, and with every step, fragments of the past with her tried to s

Damien’s POV:The ride back to the main estate felt different, quieter even. And it wasn’t just because the road was empty or the fact that the city had somehow gotten still, as though they were holding their breaths, but it was because my mind refused to settle down, no matter how hard I tried.I leaned back against the leather seat, my gaze fixed on the passing scenery, but I wasn’t really seeing any of it. All I could see, all I could smell, all I could even think about, was her, Nyssa.My thoughts kept on replaying the way she had looked at me this morning, and the way her voice had softened when she had said those words.‘I will be your mate’A slow breath left my lips, and before I could stop myself, a smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. It had happened. After all the apprehensive nights and the actual nervousness, after all the tension and uncertainty, she had said yes. And it wasn’t out of pressure or fear. No, she had said yes because she actually wanted to. And that alon
