Nicholas's POV
Something was off but I couldn't place my hands on it. I could feel it. My wolf just wouldn't stop disturbing me. I had to drown myself in alcohol to be invisible to his words.
“Let’s play a game. Truth or dare” Jacob glared at me. I tilted my head to the side. What was this guy trying to do?
“Jake stop your stupid game, we are not here to play” Marcel, my best friend said.
It was the eve before transition day for young werewolves. My friends and I were in the ranch waiting for instructions from the guards on my role tomorrow as heir. I called Marcel to keep me company and he came with my other friends. One of them was Jake.
Last 6 months he had dared me and I did a hostile takeover of his pack and gave it to the beta. It took the intervention of my father and the elders for me to give it back. The recent one was that I had taken his girlfriend. It wasn't exactly my fault.
His girlfriend, the leader of the cheerleading group at school, came up to me. I didn't want to look at her but she begged that I give her bragging rights. While she was kissing me, she took a picture and then Azaria showed up.
I sighed and looked away. Jake was just annoying like a little fly.
“Come on don't try to stop me by saving your buddy, he's weak as fuck. A mummy's boy” he sneered. My eyes snapped to Jake. Oh this asshole is asking for it.
“Jake!” Marcus yelled.
Jake burst into this wicked non rhythmic laughter. “Oh you guys make me sick, always defending him”
I rolled my eyes and cracked my neck. “Is this your way of getting back at me for kissing your girlfriend?”
“You are an asshole”
I snorted. “She’s not even beautiful”
"Well is your beautiful or wait you have no mate because you are infertile” Jake burst into laughter.
As those words left Jake's mouth I tightened my grip on the glass. The last thing I wanted was someone who would piss me off now.
Now was not the time. I needed a low profile.
“Come on man stop!” Marcus argued.
No one said a thing as they waited for me to react.
When Jake saw that no one was ready to give him any reply, he began laughing. He kept his gaze on me as he laughed. I squeezed the palms and my ring broke.
I felt a hand on my shoulders, it was Marcel. He pleaded with me silently. I just stared at him. Deep down I knew Jake was trying to test me. He knew because my dad had warned me not to fight till after the transition ceremony.
"What's funny Jake?" I shot him a death stare but that didn't seem to faze him one bit.
"You know why I am laughing" Jake said as he laughed harder.
"Jake will you stop being an asshole?" Marcus glared at him. I tapped my hands on the table.
They could see that I was already boiling. Just one flip and things will be going sour for Jake.
Because I feared that k might not be able to hold it in if Jake didn't stop.
Jake finally stopped laughing. "So after all your glory, you are not going to have a mate. Huh? “He asked me
I scoffed “See who is talking. Wasn't it you a while ago that was shaking like a leaf when you heard "I was with your girlfriend” Marcel burst into laughter while others chuckled. Jake gritted his teeth,
"Well what can I say? You will never be worthy of the crown because you were adopted" he said smugly.
It's been a rumor that I was adopted by my father, because of my looks. This was something his Friends used in teasing him but it had not been said until recently.
I looked at Jake. My nose flared. Marcel looked from me to Jake. I think he was the only one who knew shit was about to get real.
"Alright that's it" I muttered under my breath. Just like a flash, I grabbed Jake by the throat and started squeezing.
"Hey Nicholas let go of him!" Marcel screamed as he tried to push my hands away. The others tried to push Jake away but I just wouldn't budge.
"I'll teach you a very good lesson!" I barked as I kept tightening my grip.
"Nicholas stop, you will kill him" Shane said as he tried pushing me away. By that time, Jake was already turning blue and gasping for breath.
Then I let go and Jake scrambled to the floor, coughing and gasping for breath. I left the room to cool off.
********************************************************
I took a sip of the Vodka and stared out at the animals eating grass.
“Don't let him get to you” I turned to find Marcel. I nodded.
“I know.” I muttered. “He's an asshole”
“Yeah… if this escalate your dad will be pissed at you”
Just then a guard walked into the room. He bowed.
“Greetings your highness”
“Alright Sam spit it out” I muttered.
“You are wanted in the palace by your father.” He said.
I turned to Marcel and rolled my eyes. “He guess he has”
********************************************************
“What?”
“There's no time Nicholas, it's Already settled, you will marry Alpha Volcans daughter”
“Dad I can't and I won't” I glared at him.
“You will do as I say boy!” Dad barked. “I didn't work my ass off to get the Volcans hope up. You will marry his daughter and that's final!!”
“I said no” I slammed my fist on the table.
“You think I didn't hear of what you did this afternoon? You rascal. “He gritted his teeth.
“Maximus!” I turned to see my mother at the door.
“Linda, stay out of this!” He yelled. I glared into my dad's eyes. The man I have tried my best to please. It’s a pity I wasn't wearing some goody two shoes. I make my own rules.
“You have no mate! You make trouble! You play around with women. Tell me what you are good at, Nicholas Sinclair!”
I clenched my fist and looked away. “I don't want a mate dad”
“Why?”
“I have my reasons”
“You disgust me,” he spat. “If you don't marry the Volcans you are setting our pack up for a war!”
Immediately the door opened again. It was Ashley.
“Dad the rogues attacked during the transition ceremony. Wolves have gone missing” she cried out.
“What?” Dad grabbed his keys. “Where's my beta!”
“Azaria was kidnapped too yesterday” Ashley sobbed.
What? My mate was gone. No way.
I dashed out of the room and straight to my car. “Marcel meet me at the pack boundary gate” I growled into my phone.
“Nicholas, where are you going! It's dangerous” I could hear mum's voice but It was already late.
No wonder my wolf couldn't let me be all day.

A SHRED OF DOUBTAzaria’s POVAshley snorted. “Maybe not for you, Miss Over-thinker, but the rest of us, boring mortals, don't have the privilege of not thinking before doing. Sometimes it’s just—click. Like a spark. And babe, the spark between you two was almost a wildfire.”I rolled my eyes but I was smiling. “You’re sounding like a living romance novel”.“Guilty,” she replied proudly. “But come on, Zari. You’re always so closed off. And I understand you are guarding your heart or whatever—but what if maybe Killian is different?”Different.That word lingered longer than it should have.“Do you want him to like you?” she asked abruptly, now softer. “What if he does? What would you do?”I hesitated. The idea wasn’t unpleasant. Killian had this quiet confidence, the way he looked at me as if he could see through more than I was saying. And of course, I guess I’d have seen how his eyes crinkled just a bit when he grinned or his voice just about faded the next time he said my name.But
Bad Boy Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
A NEW FOUND PEACE AZARIA'S POVThe eastern gardens were less pristine than the rest of the grounds at the palace – more free, a little overgrown in the corners but that made them feel real. Unpolished. Just as nature had been allowed to breathe here.We leaned back on a stone bench, next to a fountain, and the soothing gurgle of water made a great background noise. The sun began to set steadily; shining the gold out on the leaves.Killian didn’t speak right away. He just outstretched his arms behind and his eyes now forever scanning the clouds.“You ever get the feeling that you’re meant for more but you’re just not quite sure what “more” should mean yet?” he asked eventually.I blinked, surprised. "All the time."He stared at me at that point, and there was something in his eyes, curiosity perhaps, or simply a quiet understanding.“I was a lot on the move in my childhood. Different packs, different people. Never really put down roots. But this place … it’s something else about it.”

Beneath the SurfaceAZARIA'S POVAshley went off after he left to check a badly functioning dummy. Killian and I remained there, standing by the red blinking light of one of the motion sensors.“He’s intense,” Killian said finally.“He’s... complicated,” I replied.“Did you two used to be something?”I looked at him, startled. “What makes you say that?”He smiled faintly. “It’s obvious. The type of tension which only can be born out of history and occurs only with such habitual repetition. Or heartbreak.”I didn’t say anything.He glanced at me. “Would you like to talk about it?”.“I really don’t.”“Fair enough.”Silence stretched. Then:“You know,” he said wistfully, sometimes people confuse power with control. But control comes from stillness. Out of knowing when not to strike.”I frowned. “That sounded awfully rehearsed.”“Or wise.” He winked, then looked over and assisted Ashley.I stood there, confused. Annoyed. Unsettled.---Later that same night, I saw the moon slide behind s
Bad Boy Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
When Sparks ClashAZARIA POVAshley had this irritating thing of dragging me into things I had conspired nothing with before. And by annoying, I mean, from time to time even life-saving. Like today.‘Come on, Azaria,’ she had said after school, virtually pulling my arm off. “We will have to check out the newly introduced training gadgets. They’ve just changed them, the motion sensors, they’ve added a bit of an AI dummy which will kind of adjust to your level of power.”I groaned,“Sounds really great to be punched in the throat”.Ashley rolled her eyes. “That’s the point. It, you hit, not the other way around. Now scoot your cute but tired self before Marcel takes up all the cool things’.I let her tow me down the halls of the palace and out into the field beyond the academy and beyond the palace training quarters. The evening wind was a sharp thing, hissings secrets to me that I did not want to know. Similar to how Nicholas hadn’t spoken to me in days. Or how the silence between us wa

Through the FireNICHOLAS POVThe bell rang signaling closing hours, “we gotta hit the training room, I heard they brought in new gadgets.” Marcel said, his voice very hyped.I sluggishly turned to him, “it's barely been a second and you're rushing off to the palace.”Marcel arched a brow, “it's either you carry your royal butt and follow me or you won't get a chance to meet Azaria, she always follows Ashley to check out the gadgets alongside your sister.”I didn’t have any experience with this—to uncertainty. I did not think of myself as the one who had to find his or her way around in moods that don’t come with a manual. I had power, I had charm, for most of my life, I had control. But Azaria made all that sense like dust. And she messed up my foundation with one look, and now, I saw everything through it with even greater clarity: I was falling for her.Hard.I found myself standing at the periphery of the training field with my arms folded as I focused my sight on the horizon wher

Bad Boy Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
Cracks Beneath the CalmNICHOLAS POVAs soon as Azaria walked on by, her shoulders pinched up as if the world had fallen on her, I knew something was wrong. She didn’t speak. Her eyes didn’t meet mine. So when she walked into that room with Ashley, I didn’t think twice, and followed into that room.It was wrong—I know. It was eavesdropping, but the way she.... . My back smacked against the cool wall, I hid near the corner of the hallway as I willed myself to hear every word.At first, it was quiet. Ashley’s voice was low, sharp then. Accusing. Azaria didn’t fight back. The hardest hit was that part. And simply stood there, allowing the words to evaporate through her like paper.Then came her voice. Sharp. Arrogant.“Maybe it's a sign for you not to be his mate.”My heart cracked. That sentence. Had that single sentence not been written, it would have dragged something ugly from me. Without thinking, without breathing, I pushed open the door. The room stilled.Turning like a blade, eye
Bad Boy Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Dreams don't lieAZARIA POVMorning sunlight fell through the half opened blinds, shining faint lines in the room. The remnants of last night’s dream still clouding my head, I blinked against it. My heart was uneasy, my body sluggish; I pulled myself out of my sleep for about half an hour or so, looking blankly at the walls before somehow falling back asleep.But even sleep wasn’t peace.In the morning, I was more silent than I usually was. Aunt knocked, took my room in, asked if I wanted breakfast, and I weakly smiled and declined. Although she didn’t press further, she could tell things felt off but didn’t push me to explain. Watering the vines, dad was out in the garden. Slung over my shoulder was a backpack, and I looked down, avoiding eye contact with him as I walked through the hallway. Not to them, I wasn’t ready to talk about it.I was unsettled by the dream. It felt so real.It was full silence till I walked to school. No fluttering birds. No rustling leaves. Even the wind se

A DREAM OR A WARNING?AZARIA'S POVBrushing cold fingers to my skin were the gusts of wind through the thick canopy of leaves. I gasped, clutching myself thinking I could understand what was happening.But I was dead sure—I was certain—that I had just been in my room. For now, I was standing barefoot in the middle of a very thick forest. The air was damp and heavy. It smelled of moss, wet bark. The dirt path under my feet glowed with the slithered moonlight through the trees."What the hell?" Heart pounding against my ribs, I whispered to myself.It was all surreal, a dream yet the sharp chill on my skin confirmed it wasn’t. I turned around trying to find a landmark, a cabin, anything. However, it seemed to go on forever in every direction and there was little to tell the one path from the next. I was like I was dropped in a looping maze.Carefully, I moved forward, my bare feet crushing twigs and leaves. At every sound, every rustle, my head twisted. I didn’t belong here. I shouldn't
