Bastien: “Kai, my old friend!” Kai: “Cut the crap, Bastien. Tell me why you took Nikolai’s mate and what you want in return.” Bastien: -sighs- “I don’t know why you feel the need to be hostile, don’t you realise what I am holding in my hands right now?” Kai: “Get to what you want and get it over with.” Bastien: -chuckles- “I want what has always been mine, Kai; I want my mate.” Kai: -scoffs- “Are you still lusting after Lilith when you know she’s my brother’s mate? You’re sick, Bastien.” Bastien: “Lilith? As in Lilith Vega? Why would I be lusting after her?”Kai: “You told her to kill her children and join you a few years ago, don’t tell me you don’t remember this conversation?” Bastien: “Ah, that. I simply gave her the advice my mother gave me. No one wanted the demonic offspring to be born, Kai, that thing is an evil incarnate and will bring darkness to your entire pack.” Kai: “And it has been sealed. Stop going off-topic and tell me why Nova was taken.” Bastien: -sighs agai
NikolaiWe’re looking at the cabin Alpha Bastien is currently in, and Kai signals for us to move. There are ten of us and five of them, so it should be easy, especially since the Alpha permitted us to kill all of them except Raven.Too bad; the fucker needed to die.“Control your thoughts, Nikolai and treat this like any other mission,” Konstantin reprimands me as we storm the cabin. I’m not even sure why all of us came because Kai literally took them all out, then punched Bastien and dragged him outside by the collar.Have got to make it look real, I guess.“Find Nova,” he says, but he didn’t even need to tell me twice. I track her scent to another bedroom, and when I break the door from its hinges, I spot her lying out cold and shackled to the bed. Why the fuck did they have to use silver?!I rush over to the bed, tear the handcuffs from her wrists then pick her up. “You’re safe now, little Rogue,” I murmur, scenting her. I forgot how absolutely beautiful my mate is, and the fact th
NovaI’m not mad that they kidnapped me; I’m angry that they had to knock me over the head so many fucking times! Swear to Goddess, I am going to riot! That Raven is going to get a knock to the eye from me if I could just reach his damn face!“Is she okay?”“She’s still passed out; it’s not like there’s a fucking werewolf doctor we can call. I just have to see when she wakes up.”Was that Nikolai? Did this knock on my head make me enter some dream state where I’m hearing my mate instead of that insufferable Raven? However, I giggle when I hear the term ‘werewolf doctor’ and hear footsteps approaching the bed I’m on.“Werewolf doctor,” I giggled, then burst out laughing. “A weredoctor!”“Are you sure she doesn’t need a different kind of doctor?” Wait that sounds like Konstantin, doesn’t it? I eventually open my eyes, a weird feeling washing over me when I realise that I’m not in the cabin anymore. There’s also no funky swamp/flower scent here at all; wait, where am I? My blurry eyes f
NikolaiShe’s back in my penthouse, showering and getting ready to have a meal with me. It’s Friday, the day she’s supposed to be meeting with the witches, but I have called it off. I want to spend the entire day with her, seeing as I missed out on four without her.I cannot believe how much I’ve missed her after spending only two days with her before. This is the woman I want at my side, and the fact that she’ll be living with me from now on makes me happier than I ever thought it would! To be honest, I expected her to argue with me, but she gave in so easily; is there a reason?Soft footsteps on my floors, and my heart stops when I turn to look at her walking toward me. She looks at the expression on my face and blushes before looking at her feet.“I hope you don’t mind; I wanted a piece of you with me.” She says, tugging the hem of my grey t-shirt she has decided to wear instead of the clothes Caterina bought for her. It covers the important bits; however, the sight of her upper th
NovaHmmm, something is nice and warm next to me; I don’t remember buying a giant teddy, though. Snuggling deeper into the warmth, I catch a familiar smell…a very smoky bergamot smell.Wait…I wrench my eyes open straight into a hard chest and see my arm wrapped around Nikolai’s waist. He similarly had his arm around my waist, holding me tightly against him while our legs were intertwined. How the hell did we end up this way?!“Stop wiggling so much; I was having a nice dream,” Nikolai complains and holds me close. I blink at his words, then peer up and see the smirk on his face, but his eyes are still closed.“Are you enjoying this?” “Fuck yeah, I am. Now just close your eyes and enjoy it as well. All that wiggling isn’t good for what your knee is pressed up against.” He says, that smirk growing even wider as I feel flushed.He’s right; my knee is pressed up against his cock, and it’s getting hard. Not only that, but the t-shirt I’m wearing is riding up, and my entire upper thigh is
NovaThe Estate’s entrance seems to have moved again. Nikolai says that the witches move the entry every month even though no one on the outside can enter or find the community unless one of the brothers invites them in.I still can’t believe the Alpha is 40 and yet looks so young. Oh, to be a Volkov and not age past 28 when unmated. I doubt I would be happy, though; I already look older than Nikolai.We come to a stop in front of the Volkov mansion, and Nikolai opens the door for me. He then laces his fingers with mine and walks me inside. I’m excited, but the nerves are coiling my insides, and I feel like I might just vomit.“Hey,” Nikolai says, stopping in front of the large oak door. “Are you okay?”“Yes,” I nod. “I’m just nervous.”He smiles at me and cups my face in his hands. “I understand, but just know that they’re all excited to see you again.” He says, then plants a soft kiss on my forehead and lips.I breathe out a sigh. “Okay. I promise I’m fine; I just haven’t seen anyon
NikolaiI walk toward Dimitri with a smirk on my face, and he just rolls his eyes at my reaction.“Shut it,”“I will definitely not shut it,” I say and put an arm around his neck. “Is this the decision you made, then? You’re going to do it?”He shrugs. “I don’t know yet. For now, we’re only friends and nothing more. Her parents remember me from the time I brought her to them, so her father is being extremely nice to me.” He says with a roll of his eyes. “Where’s your mate, by the way?”I looked around the room, realising a bit too late that Nova was nowhere to be seen. However, I do still smell her scent, so she must still be around here.“She's here somewhere, but stop changing the subject and tell me how this all happened. You’ve been quiet since Nova was taken and barely spoke to me about what you'll do next.” I say, remembering his last words about how he needs to make a decision.When Dimitri relays the entire events of the last few days to me, I am in literal shock over what has
NovaI’m constantly waking up with headaches lately, and the one assaulting me right now feels like the worst I’ve had. My head feels like it’s about to split open - literally. “Ugh,” I complain and sit up while trying to focus my eyesight, which seems to be even worse for some reason. When my eyes adjust, I realise that I don’t completely recognise the room that I’m in. Did I get kidnapped again? I feel around in the pockets of my jeans for my cell phone so that I can call Nikolai, but before I can find it, the door opens, and he steps inside.“Hey, Nickybabe,” I say with a lazy smile and watch his face lights up.“You’re awake,” he says as he walks toward me and sits down on the bed next to me. “How are you feeling?”I clear my throat and try to blink, but even that hurts.“My head is killing me; even blinking hurts right now. Did something happen? Did I drink too much wine?” I ask, remembering the one glass I had on the terrace but nothing else. “You passed out earlier; I think
