NIRVANAOnce I finished writing the letter, I wiped the tears from my cheeks and folded the paper before I texted Zarah.My phone buzzed in my hand. Her name popped up on the screen.I picked up her call. “Hi.”“What is it this time?”I chuckled. “I can’t call just to say hello?”“No. What do you want?”“I have something I want you to give it to Knight if something happens to me.”“No. I’m not doing that, Nirvana.”“Please, this is important to me.”There was a long pause before she replied, “You better not die.”“That’s the least I want, Zarah, but just in case.”“Fine. I’ll drop by sooner. Anyway, what you did at the council was brave. I’m proud of you.”“Thanks, but?”“How are you and Knight?”“We’re okay.” I didn’t have to tell her the truth. She knew it anyway.“Yeah? That sounds like it. You have to forgive your husband, Nirvana. It’s not that he cheated on you, but what he did was to protect you. I would have done the same thing to the people I love. It may look like betrayal,
KNIGHT“Knight, get out of there now!” Nirvana sounded panicking over the phone.“What’s going on, Nirvana?”“I don’t have time to explain. Just get out of there and come directly to the vineyards.”For a moment, I froze until she screamed, “Please!”“All right, sweetheart.” I just hung up the call when everyone in the building screamed.I quickly linked Luka, who was waiting in the parking lot. “Ready the car. Something’s going on.”“Yes, alpha. The werewolves are coming after you. I just hit a wolf but saw five more entering the building.”“Shit. Return to the vineyards if I don’t make it there in three minutes. They need you there.”“No. I’m not leaving you behind. Luna and the others can handle themselves. You’re my alpha.”“Damn it, Luka!” I dashed outside my office only to be halted on the spot. One of my staff was on the floor, lying in his own pool of blood. Everyone erupted into a frenzy, screaming and running in different directions to save their own lives. I smelled a lot o
NIRVANAMy patient was so stubborn. The moment we went back home, he had a lot of complaints. When I told him to rest, he did the opposite, showing me how hard he was and had my mouth watering.My dream instantly flashed in my mind. And Knight just read my thoughts, causing him to smirk. If I could shut him up by giving him an orgasm, so be it. We ended up naked, and I was riding his cock.“This is a bad idea,” I said through gritted teeth.“You said it yourself. We needed more than a hug.” He bit his bottom lip to control his movements, but his muscles were straining.“You know that’s not what I meant, Knight.” But I knew myself. I missed him and was too needy, greedy, and desperate.“I know.”I opened my eyes to fire a retort, but I ended up moaning as his thumb went to my clit, stroking and teasing the sensitive bundle of nerves.My heart pumped so hard, and I rode him faster, bouncing above him. I pressed both hands on his sides as I leaned closer to kiss his lips.He kissed me ba
KNIGHT“I saw it in the news, and it’s getting stronger according to the weather report, and they called it a fucking phenomenon,” Califf grunted from the other line.“Uncle Lennox said it should be sunny according to the weather forecast on his phone, but it’s so dark here, darker than the night, and the wind is getting stronger. It’s scary as hell.”“We should inform the alphas,” Califf suggested.“You read my mind, Cal. If you can’t contact me later, the service is off.”“I’ll see you soon.” The call hung up. My pack was waiting for my decision.I looked at them one by one, and I sensed their fear, which was also all over their faces. “I know you are all scared, but so do I. This weather change is something we can’t control. What we can do right now is stay put. If an ancient warlock, the same person who spread the virus, manipulates this, then we might be able to stop it.”“How do we fight him with this weather, Alpha?” Duncan asked.“It’s dangerous to go out there, but if he is
NIRVANA“Hey. Be careful out there, okay?”I hugged Kailin tight. I always wanted a sibling, but I only got to experience that once I met Kailin. I felt the tightness in my chest as we pulled apart and thought that I might not see her again.“Don’t die.” Dylan hugged me tight. At the corner of my eye, Grandpa forced out a smile and nodded.“You, too, Dylan. I’m glad I got the chance to meet you.”“Me, too. It’s been an honor.”Carter raised his gun. “I may be a human, but I’m glad to be here and fight again with you guys.”“Don’t leave the vineyards unattended. Keep this safe place at all costs.”“We will,” said Kaleb, seconded by Lennox. “Be careful out there.”“I’m coming with you, guys.” Luka came to us.” Mac and I decided to join you, Alpha, and Luna. It would be the greatest privilege of mine to fight alongside you.”“Okay.” Knight looked at me before he nodded. “We should go.”Zarah created a portal while Archibald talking to Chase. “The shield is almost broken. I suggest you go
NIRVANAI ignored the pain in my chest, so much pain making me heave. I called everyone through our link, but none responded, including Knight. My chin began to tremble both from fear and hopelessness. I was left alone with a broken heart, losing all my hopes. One thing I’d hoped for, hoping they were still all alive.I stood tall, closed my eyes, and pulled every ounce of strength I could from Asina. I hadn’t fought that monster, but something weakened me, or Cyrius’s power was too strong around this forest.I put the dagger back into my boot and concealed it. As fear coiled in my chest, I leaped forward, ran, and jumped into the barrier, aiming to get through it. The force of energy shocked me, flinging me away, my back hitting the fallen tree.My back arched, and I whined in pain. Searing in agony, I got up, staggering forward. Never for a second did I hesitate. I could do it. I thought of everyone back at the vineyards who expected us to win in this battle. I thought of the pe
NIRVANA“Then I will just have to torture you.” He pulled the tendrils, roots, and vines around my wrist so my limbs were all stretched out to the point of almost splitting them from my body.I screamed in agony and fury, and I felt helpless as I looked down at the people who tried to help me, all gone.“Join me, Nirvana, and I promise you—”“Fuck you! Not gonna happen.” Tears poured down my face, and my limbs began shaking. “Where’s Ambrose?”He was seemingly grinning, but it looked like he was wincing. He was really creepy. “He’s dead.”“Yet you are still desperate and unsatisfied. Why is that?”He did it with his hand, and the tendrils and vines covered Knight’s face. Feeling my heart breaking, I could still hear my mate gasping to breathe. “Him or the dagger.”“He wouldn’t have let me give up the lives of millions for your insanity, Cyrius. You should know that by now. So nice try. Agh!” My fingers shivered. I could feel the skin peeling off my flesh and the vines ripping into m
NIRVANA“Asina? Wow. You are gorgeous.” I was surprised to see her standing before me. For the first time, she showed me herself— a beautiful and tall woman with straight long, dark hair, brown eyes, and a smile that could bring men to their knees. She was truly captivating, a real strong heroine in a white flowy dress. “Am I dead?”“About to if you won’t wake up.”“I can’t. There’s too much pain and loss. I can’t do this, Asina. I’m too weak compared to his power. He killed everyone I loved, and I want to die along with them. I give up. And you leave me alone there.”“Nirvana, you take it all wrong. You don’t need me to win the battle against Cyrius. All you need is your courage, your strength, and your heart.”Frustrated, I sobbed as I fell on my knees. “He is powerful to stop, and you’re telling me to use my heart and my strength? I don’t have strength anymore. I can’t even level a percent of his power.”“Because you believe you can’t.”“Are you kidding me right now?” I growled in
