Harley~

When Kyle announces his intention to leave, it feels like he flipped the switch on an electric current running through my skin. The hum running through me has me fidgeting with a loose string on my hospital gown. 'Breath in, breathe out.' Easier said than done, while my lungs are burning as if filled with helium.

Nick focuses his attention on me and rubs my hand between his. He'd left me with no choice but to meet his eyes. My insides feel like wobbly Jell-O with the intensity looki

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~95~An ounce of prevention.

    Nick~ Given that Harley tossed and turned most of the night. I'm surprised to wake and find her missing from my arms. A quick scan of the room finds her sitting in the bay window, knees pulled up to her chest, quietly staring out. She'd moved aside the heavy drapes, and in the warm morning light, she glowed. "Harley, honey, you ok?" She glances over her shoulder. "Yeah, just thinking." "It looks deep," I prop up on my elbow and push the blanket away. "What's on your mind, Amante?" "Having Melinda bind our powers so we don't become the next addition to 'freaks like us.'" "You can be my freak anytime," I waggled my eyebrows at her with a wink, but my antics aren't working. "Last night wasn't your fault." "But still it happened because I couldn't control it." "Would you please come here?" She does; her bare feet pad across the floor. My old t-shirt never looked so good, though it's down to her knees. Once she's snuggled under the blanket, close, I kiss her forehead. "You

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~94~Meet the press.

    Nick~ Harley's body remains stiff beside mine as I lead her out of our room. Down the hall, she's dragging her feet across the carpet runner while her breath gets shallow. Enough of this. I stop us and wrap my arms around her. "What's going on, Amante? Are you having second thoughts? It's ok if you are." "Of course not," she traced my jaw with her fingers. "Facing these people again isn't as easy as I thought, that's all." "It will be different this time, and on our terms. Harley, I trust Seth." "If you do, then I do too," she tossed her hair over her shoulder and linked her arm through mine. "Let's get on with it," she took a deep breath. That's my girl! We continued into the den, where everyone was waiting for us. Kyle had two desks and chairs moved together, facing each other in front of the fireplace. The three newsmen already sat at one of them, locking their eyes on us. So what if we're late for the party? One man fiddles with his pen, and they all have notepads. Seth is

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~93~Training day.

    Harley~ How do I let myself get into these situations? Where Nick is concerned, I'm hopeless to deny him any request. And he's right, I need to get a handle on myself if I intend to make things different for Etta.The grass is wet, so I slip off my sandals and barefoot it beside him across the lawn. It may look inviting, but the afternoon sunshine has the soaked greensward as hot as the devil's playground.I'm thankful for the breeze that surrounds us, and I wonder, 'Did I do that?' My chest is pounding by the time we reach the crepe myrtle trees at the back of the lot, where Nick has readied a makeshift target range. He steadies me in front of him. "What do you think?" My hand went to my chest as my jaw dropped. Nick had arranged the various water bottles he and Sofie had dragged out of the house in a row, from smallest to largest. Each bottle had a name: the 5-gallon water-cooler tank he'd chosen to be Ian. All the way to a mini water bottle, I was sure belonged to Kylie, that

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~92~Hit me with your best shot.

    Nick~ Harley is none the wiser as I slip back into the room. I'm surprised, given the screech the oak door made as I eased it closed behind me. At the end of the bed, I shed my jeans, laying them across the ornate wooden trunk. There's still too much light in here for the Princess; I go over to the window and pull the tie-backs loose. Thick maroon blackout drapes give a swoosh as they come together. A seashell night light on the wall comes to life in the darkness; I hadn't noticed that last night. She turns as I throw back the covers with a groan, causing me to freeze mid-air before lowering my body onto the bed. It's only a moment before she squirms herself back into my arms, taking a deep breath. Soon, the bump will separate us, so I pull her as close to me as I can. 'Harley needs a cram session on power control before this interview, Nick.' With a sigh, I snuggled my face into her hair. 'Agreed, Z, we at least need to know what we're up against.' 'How's Rae doing?'

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~91~Mates for life.

    Kyle~ We distract Kylie from the ball and take to the patio's sun chairs while she plays in the sprinklers instead. Bright sunlight catches the water droplets, creating a rainbow effect. Kylie is doing her best to catch them, her giggles filling the air. With a grin, I look over at my Luna. I reach for her and settle her onto my lap, as my heart skips a beat. It's a wonder how, after all our years together, she still gets to me. Her strawberry blonde hair lights up in the sun as the wind catches it. Light freckles across her nose dance as she crinkles it at me. "Have I told you how much I love you?" I kissed her freckled nose. "Yes, but I've never tired of it." Her hair had blown across her face, and I tucked a strand behind her ear. "I've been wanting to ask you about having another baby with me." That drew her attention, causing her face to tighten and her eyes to narrow on me. "What happened to waiting until you were Alpha?" "I've changed my mind. Being here with Harle

  • Bounty for the Lycan Princess ~Nichols~   Chapter~90~Reaping what you sow.

    Ian~ Where is Toby? Even worse than being ignored is knowing that without my wolf, there ain't shit I can do about it. With a string of curses, I cross the room in two strides; the cellarette doesn't stand a chance as I punch the glass door. Blood runs down my hand, and I shake it off before grabbing the bottle of brandy. The fact that I had to call him on his cell rather than use the Pack mind link should have been a clue that something was amiss. The brandy goes down smooth, and my pacing resumes. 'Colt, you son-of-bitch, you'd better heal me!' Nothing! My eyes locked on opening the door. "Where the hell have you been?!" Toby shrugged his shoulders. "I was tying up some loose ends. What's got you so wound up?" The urge to smack him upside the head is strong, but I round my desk and flop down in my chair instead. "Lycan, you're bleeding." "You think I don't fucking know?" After getting a handkerchief from my desk drawer, I slammed it shut. "Why are you bleeding? C

    Harley~ Sauls answered, crossing his arms over his chest. "Harvey Knounch, a local drunk. Witnesses from the bar say he left alone around midnight." Stone adds, "Impound recovered his car from the alley beside the bar. The killer zapped him with a high-powered stun gun. CSI found a piece of the s

    Nick~27 I had never heard the term Harley used to describe her affliction. I wonder if it is a guardian power she does not yet understand. It also puts a bit of a spin on the shindig; there's no telling what she remembers. I'm convinced that she knows Leonard from Ian's pack. Perhaps a bit more i

    Stalker Steve~28Restless doesn't even describe my current affliction. Lenny has kept me cooling my jets for a week. Well, he thinks he has anyway. Man, I was jonesing bad!

    Harley~My head is spinning, and my heart feels like it is pounding right out of my chest, but it's not elephant brain syndrome this time. The short drive from the gas station to the police station wasn't sufficient for me to get a grip on what Nick's kisses do to me or the fact that Kyle had reach
