NIRVANA
“Anyone there?” I bent over to see who was on the other side but saw no one. Until a giant brown wolf appeared that almost gave me a heart attack.
With my breathing stuck in my lungs, my heart pounded so hard, and my feet seemed rooted to the ground.
My gaze was still glued to the wolf, and I had no idea there were wolves around here.
And then the cracking sound of something broken pierced my ears— it sounded like bones crunching and excruciating. Goosebumps erupted all over my skin.
Shocked, my eyes bulged out, but I couldn’t manage to blink or breathe until my lungs almost exploded and my chest began to heave.
The wolf deformed before my very eyes. The bones cracked, and from the four-legged animal, it turned into a two-legged naked human in just mere seconds.
It was not real.
I was just dreaming, or the shadow was playing tricks with me.
This was impossible.
“Oh, no, no.” Shivering, I stepped back with my shaky knees and immediately crashed into something huge, like a tree trunk, making me yelp in shock.
I jerked back, my heels tripping off, losing my balance. Before I could fall and land on my ass, big hands reached out, enveloping me like a warm blanket.
“Easy.” The familiar, pleasing, deep ramble somehow eased me. “You shouldn’t be here alone.”
I looked up, stared with wide eyes over a profound sense of shock, and met his forest green gaze, his eyes electrifying under the moonlight, almost mythical. My chin trembled as I choked out a gulp of air into my lungs. I closed my mouth.
“Breathe, Nirvana,” he said calmly, eyes raking through my face. “Or you’ll pass out.”
I swallowed hard and shook my head.
“Hey.” His voice was laced with concern, enough to convince me he was sincere. He swiped hair on my face, tucking them behind my ear. “What happened?”
“L-let go of me,” I whispered in horror.
“You’re shaking. Let me take you back to the house.”
“Just let me go.” I gripped his arms with my trembling hands.
“You look like you’ve seen something around here. You’re in shock.”
“Get off of me, Knight. I mean it.” With all the weirdness and something supernatural, I saw tonight that terrified and shocked me, I took all my strength and pushed him on his chest.
“I just wanna help you.” He gaped in disbelief. His expression unfolded a sense of dread.
I scoffed. “You’re joking, right? Earlier tonight, you can’t wait to get rid of me. Why are you here all of a sudden? I don’t need your help.”
“Nirvana.” His voice seemed filled with misery, almost believable.
“Like what you wished for, I’m leaving early in the morning. If I could find a flight tonight, I’m already out of your hair right now.” My knees wobbled as I walked away from him, but it wasn’t from an unexplainable thing I saw. It was from anger.
“You’re leaving without telling Kailin.”
“This is what you want, right? You think I’m a bad influence and not rich enough to be your cousin’s best friend.” I stopped and faced him. “I couldn’t think of anything I did wrong. Kailin and I have been friends since college, but you clearly hate my presence in your miserable kingdom.”
Before I could walk far, Knight was on my heels, reaching out, grabbing my wrist, and whirling me around. He pulled me against him, took the back of my head with his hands, and growled— an animalistic growl with a heated look in his eyes. “You think this is easy for me.”
I wanted to laugh out loud, but I was more confused than I had the strength to comprehend what he said. Yet I was so mad right now I began to shake.
“I, Knight Orion Blackwell,” he started chanting, which confused me even more. “Alpha of White Moon Pack, reject you, Nirvana—”
“I wanna chop your head off and use it as a soccer ball because right now I’m infuriated at you, you weirdo, arrogant, selfish son of a bitch!”
NIRVANAThree months laterThis man wrecked me in every way possible, in a good-to-be-true way. The private island Lycan Alpha King Sebastien owned was more beautiful than he described, and we were here for the third day of our honeymoon. Yes, honeymoon. Knight asked me to marry him again, and I said yes before he could finish popping up the question. And here I was in bed, legs spread at his mercy. His searing gaze burned my skin. He stood at the foot of the bed, naked, and my hungry eyes devoured him. He was perfect from head to toe, and those muscles and his long thick erection in his hand with a small drop glistening in the slit of his crown.I licked my lips, squirming in bed. Knight knew precisely how to drive me crazy. My hands fisted above my head. No matter how I struggled, the rope laced with magic he used to tie didn’t even budge—no thanks to the book of spells my mother’s own. Dylan sent me a box full of my mother’s books and tools. Knight found out about it, and he u
NIRVANAI smiled at Carter. “Yeah. I’m a werewolf.”“You look wonderful, Vana. If he’s over you, come find me.”“Cut the shit, Archie.” Knight chuckled as he hugged Archibald. “Glad you could make it.”“I would not miss for the entire world,” Chance was the one to reply.Kain and Dane were engrossed in their conversation at the corner.“Hey.”Kain hugged me. “I thought we lost you.”“So do I.”“We wouldn’t be here without you.”“You all keep saying that when it was more of a team effort.” I patted Dane on his arm. He remained at Kain’s pack of assassins to protect Kailin and our allies. “You take care of my best friend, or I will rip your throat out.”“You can stop threatening him.” Kailin, in her beautiful blue gown, came and kissed me on the cheek. “I will be the one to rip his throat out if he betrays me.”The tapping of a spoon on the glass caught my attention. The whole pack house went silent, and the music stopped. Our attention went to Victor, Lennox, and my grandfather, who no
NIRVANAI shuddered at the loss of his thick dick inside me.“On your knees, Nirvana.” He growled. His breathing was rougher.“I don’t bow nor kneel to anyone, but sure.” I was too eager to do as he commanded me to, so I moved to my knees and faced him.“Open your mouth for me.” His eyes almost glowed. His jaw locked harder, every part of his body tensing.I opened my mouth as he gathered a fistful of my hair and gripped it, pulling me closer to his erection.“Now suck me.” He flexed his hips as he shoved his cock past my lips.I took it too eagerly, one hand gripping the base, the other on my knees, balancing myself on the bed. I swirled my tongue around him, sucked, and stroked him.My mouth stretched around his girth. I struggled to breathe through my nose, my eyes watering as I tried to accommodate him without gagging.“Relax your throat. You can take all of me.” He pushed my head into his cock, and quickened his thrust until a guttural groan erupted from his throat.He threw his
KNIGHTI stopped at the edge of the bed and watched Nirvana strip off her clothes one by one. Nothing fancy, even her skin tone bra, but her body, though, the sexiest and hottest fucking thing I’d ever seen, always would be and forever.She was on the last thing, her cotton panties, and there she was, the same body and curves I’d felt many times against mine, and the same woman I fell in love with over and over again, smiling at me as she spread her legs wide apart, revealing her always smooth and waxed pussy.Her cheeks flushed as she slid her hands between her thighs, and a low groan rumbled from within my chest as she let go of a shuddering moan.I found myself gripping my erect cock, stroking it. Locking her searing gaze against mine, she lay on her back, inviting me into bed. She didn’t have to do that because I intended to join her and make her feel what I longed for over a week.I crawled into bed, joined her, and braced my forearms on either side of her shoulders. Then I held
NIRVANA“No freaking way! That’s impossible.” My eyes grew wide as I stared at them one by one.“Is it, though?” McKaye said. “We trained for months.”“To fight that freaking monster?”“Your bloodline is some kind of link to an ancient warlock from Greece,” McKaye explained. “And you were the only one who could kill that son of a bitch.”“Yeah. My mother’s side from my grandmother were witches.”“And you don’t have a gift?” Knight asked me hesitantly.“No. Why? Should I?”He glanced at Zarah.“You’re a witch, Zarah. Can’t you jag my memory or something?”“It doesn’t work that way.”“Then I’m sorry to disappoint you, guys, but I don’t remember fighting an evil warlock named Cyrius.”“What about him?” Kaleb, the beta, tipped his chin at the alpha.Alpha Knight finally groomed himself, looking hotter and smelled so good.I couldn’t help but smile, and every time I looked at him, my heart skipped a beat. “No.”“You’re lying.”“Excuse me?” I arched a brow at him.“I can hear your heartbeat
KNIGHTWhen Kailin called urgently via our link, I thought someone was in trouble again in the tasting room, like the twins.I had struggled the past week without Nirvana, but I never gave up searching for my mate. Scratch that. I once considered jumping off the cliff, and there may be a minuscule chance she would appear and come to save me. But somehow, her promise kept my sanity intact.Everyone helped me check for the lost women or unclaimed bodies in every morgue in the region, but none of them was Nirvana, and I couldn’t find a record of her death either. I felt so relieved and hung in a thinner thread as the days passed, and there were still no signs of her.The underworld was back to normal— no more viruses or killings, thanks to my mate, and my uncle was offered a job at the council while I barely hung in there and not dealing with my loss. I barely slept, or I found myself in the woods mourning. I lost some sense of self-love and belongingness. I couldn’t work, and I hadn’t
