It’s a short drive to downtown Parkerville. Café Rosa is a quaint, mom-and-pop establishment that has been here as long as I can remember. It’s kind of like stepping into a time portal back to old Italy. After a quick search, I find Kyle, who wasn’t hard to spot given that he is the spitting image of Ian, sitting in a booth, and I slide onto the opposite side, joining him. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he is sizing me up a bit.

“What’s up, Kyle?” I didn’t even bother to ask

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~115~Just enough rope.

    Harley~ Morning light spilled through the shades, and I blinked against it as I sat up. The mattress beside me was cool and vacant where Nick had been. As I scanned the room, a rhythmic splashing of water caught my attention. Followed by a heavy sweetness of steam escaping from the bathroom. My sweet mate has a peace offering, no doubt, to smooth over the jagged edges of Delilah's latest stunt. Nick is always thinking of me; I let out a heavy breath that rattled the quiet room. Then sank back into the cocoon of the duvet and snuggled close to his pillow. 'Delilah's face was priceless?!' Rae's voice burst to life, vibrating my still-sleeping brain with a harsh sort of glee. 'She definitely knows who she's dealing with now.' 'Good morning to you too, Rae. She poked the bear and got bitten. But Etta's temper is going to bite Nick in the ass if we aren't careful.' 'Delilah wouldn't dare breathe a word to Titus.' 'If it buys her an ounce of leverage, she will.' Nick stepped out of

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~114~So I creep, yeah.

    Harley~ 'Harleeeeya!' Rae's voice is a sharp vibration rattling my jaw. "Don't do that, Rae." I scolded her against the sudden throb in my pulse. "This explains exactly where Delilah's been hiding. Worse yet, he's Sean's Beta. "Surely to the Goddess these people aren't blind!" "Judging by the way Beta William locks his jaw," I murmured, watching the muscle twitch in his cheek, "at least one of them watches." Across the hall, Titus scraped his throat; his harsh, gravelly voice instantly cut through the chatter. He glared at Delilah as she slid into Sean's empty seat beside him. "As I was saying," Titus continued, his voice dropping an octave, and the room's attention went back to him. We are pleased to announce Reins' next generation. The crowd exploded, a wall of stomping boots and roaring cheers that rattled the silverware. Titus raised a single, scarred hand, cutting the noise dead. "And the union of our eldest son to the woman who made it possible." Delilah froze mid

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~113~Who you trying to fool?

    Nick~ Titus cleared his throat, the sound rough and grating in the quiet room. He averted his gaze and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing thick, silver-streaked hair on his chest. "I'm sure your mother would want Harley to get the best care." His eyes snapped back to mine, sharp and freezing, cutting right through me. "But this is still my pack. The guardians have no authority to interfere here." If my guardian hadn't interfered, your son would be dead right now, I thought. The fabric of the white dress shirt rasped against the plastic hanger as I took it off. "Harley has no interest in your pack," I said, a low rumble vibrating in my chest. 'Nick, control yourself,' Zeek's voice echoed in the back of my mind, tight with warning. 'This is just a trial.' 'Why does he have to push me, Zeek? Titus is not seeking a truce.' 'Our father has every right to doubt us, Nick. He doesn't know Harley, and he doesn't know what she's capable of without her powers.' "If you want to make me an ou

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~112~It’s always a party.

    Nick~ Harley's gaze swept over the dark, hollowed-out geometry of my bedroom. Her mouth tightened into a line, causing a chuckle to rumble in my chest, and I pulled her into me. My lips against her warm skin feel like home. "Come on." Catching the faint scent of stress she's admitting, I steer her toward the mattress. She melts into my lap, her weight settling against my chest with a familiar calm. "How are you holding up?" I murmured into her hair. "You've been on edge since you came back to dinner." My hand smoothed down her bare forearm, and goosebumps bloomed under my fingertips. "I'm alright," she exhaled a shuddering breath that vibrated against my chest, "but there's something wrong here, Nick. Would Sean really take up residency in a different room than Delilah?" My curiosity spiked, and I tipped my chin up to look at her. "He could, if he chose to isolate himself. What exactly did you find?" "It's what I didn't find. Nothing of Sean. Delilah has erased him, and she i

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~111~Hard times at the pack.

    Harley~ Did he actually just say that? Nick's eyes burned into mine, hot enough to scorch. This was absolutely not the second wedding I had envisioned. Lucky for him, that anger was a luxury for later. Right now, my pulse thrummed with the mission of finding the ring. "Well, it's settled then," Ruby said, the sharp smack of her palms breaking the tension. "We'll get started on the plans, but tonight we celebrate!" "Nick, I'm not feeling well. I need to use the bathroom." I pressed a hand over my mouth, forcing a shallow, sickly breath. 'We will discuss this later,' I snapped across our mental link, glaring at him. He bolted upright, his chair scraping against the tile. "No, stay," I said, throwing up a hand, then turning to our host with a tight, polite nod. "Thank you, Luna Ruby, for your generous offer. Excuse me." Nick flinched at one last warning glance, It felt good to be on the case again until the heavy silence of the hallway swallowed me. The air suddenly felt cooler,

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~110~Time's up.

    Nick~ "Ponzie's solemn expression softened into a smile, releasing the tension around his temples and eyes. "Alpha, your daughter is right where she should be. There's been no more bleeding?" Harley looked to me first, her shoulders dropping a fraction before she shook her head. "No, Doctor Ponzie, Nick has been making sure I take it easy." "Well, keep up the good work," Ponzie said to Nick as he accepted the damp cloth. The cool blue ultrasound gel dragged against my skin as he wiped it away. "It's just Rich for you, Mommy." He pulled the stiff fabric of the gown back over my midsection. "And I would like to get a blood sample before you leave." 'I'm going in, cover me!' Harley's voice is sharp in my head as her gaze locks onto the doctor. I'm familiar with the sudden, sharp intensity of the shift, but Ponzie does not know. "Rich, speaking of blood tests, have you run Sean's blood?" Rich froze with the sterile plastic syringe hovering an inch above her arm. He met her gaze

    Nick~ "Sorry, I forgot about calling you back, Kyle." I paused, but this would not get any easier. I took a heavy breath. "The police have confirmed that the stalker has Harley, only they don't know who he is yet." Kyle cursed profusely. "Does the name Steve mean anything?" "Yes, Steven Bala

    Harley~ 'His name is Nick, and don't accept that I believe he will come back for us.' 'I wouldn't have him if he came back!' 'Sure, you're right, Ms. Patty Pillowcase.' My phone rings as I put the car in reverse; it's Belinda, and she tells me that my presence is required as soon as possible.
