NIKOLAI

“WHO THE HELL are you?”

I set the bottle down, shoving my hands into my pockets, letting the silence stretch between us. I tilted my head, letting my eyes stay on her, watching every flicker of emotion cross her face.

I didn’t answer right away and she Just stood there, jaw clenched so tight I thought it might crack. Her eyes roamed over me—calculating—like she was trying to piece me into some world I didn’t belong in.

I smirked.

She could smell him on me. That much I knew. I could see it in the way her gaze flickered, the tightness in her jaw. Her mate. Her fucking husband. The thought almost made me laugh.

“You’re human,” she finally said, her voice tight, clipped.

“And you’re his wife.” I let the words hang in the air, watching her reaction like I was savoring a slow burn.

A breath left her, but she didn’t speak. She just stood there, staring at me with those cold eyes, anger rolling off her in waves. Then, she took a step forward, her heels clicking on the floor, challengin

Such a great chapter as always, gosh these two belong together, there has to be some way the pack will survive without Claude there because I don’t think Claude can take been around his so called wife and Nikolai is truly more his mate than she is

    NIKOLAIHIS LIPS PARTED like he wanted to speak. He stepped forward—once, then again—until Ava’s voice cut through like a blade dipped in venom.My gaze snapped to her. Then down—to the swell of her stomach.“What is going on here?” she asked, voice high and trembling, layered in forced confusion. “My mate and I were brought over from our home and…” Her words died mid-sentence.She saw me.Her eyes locked on, widened—recognition like a blade to the gut. She wasn’t looking at a man. She saw the devil. Good. I tilted my head slightly, expression unreadable as I looked at her.“A human is here?” she spat, like the word tasted wrong in her mouth. Her lip curled, and she scanned the room as if the joke would reveal itself.One of the twins—the councilman seated second from the right—arched a brow, unimpressed. “This human brought evidence,” he said crisply. “Of crimes committed against your mate. Verified recordings. Multiple voices. CCTV footage. Including yours.”Ava scoffed, her posture

    NIKOLAIFOUR MONTHS AGOWhen I woke up, he wasn’t there. Not even a fucking hair strand out of place. Just gone—like he’d never existed. And what did I find out? That my Claude had been pinned to the ground like an animal and taken. No warning. No chance to fight back. Snatched and dragged away.Gone.And that was it.I tried. Christ, I really fucking tried. I did everything I did the last time—tried to slipped in, tried to tracked him, tried to used Enzo, used everyone I fucking could. Nothing worked. They were ready this time. Had it locked up tighter than a damn vault, and all I could do was watch the gates disappear right in my face.That was four months ago. And every single day since, I’ve been crawling up the walls. I haven’t slept right. I haven’t breathed right. Not without him beside me. Not when I had it all laid out—everything. A plan that would’ve worked. A future. Him in my arms, my bed, my fucking life. He marked me. He chose me. And they still took him.“Fuck,” I mutt

    CLAUDEI DIDN’T KNOW how long I sat there, staring at the contract in my hand. The words blurred—standard terms, nothing special. Borders. Alliances. Trade agreements. Rules that made sense on paper but meant nothing without real trust.I glanced at the window to see the sun had already dipped below the horizon before looking at the paper again.But it wasn’t the paper that mattered. No, it was what wasn’t written. What Elli had said.Nikolai was alive.That words hit harder than any punch I’d ever taken. My fingers clenched until the edge of the paper crumpled. My chest locked up, pressure building so tight it felt like something would crack—but the air wouldn’t come. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t feel my lungs. Just that tight, suffocating ache.I dropped the contract on the table and pressed my palms into my eyes, forcing the tears back. A laugh slipped out, low and rough, but it broke halfway through—a sob catching behind it untill it hurt.Because it was real. This was real.I sho

    CLAUDEI WOKE UP choking on nothing.Air that was too thick caught in my throat like I’d swallowed glass in my sleep. I sat up too fast, chest heaving like I’d been drowning and only just remembered how to breathe.Nikolai.My hand reached out before I could stop it—searching for the space beside me. Cold. Always cold. He wasn’t there. I wasn’t there. I didn’t know if he was alive.I couldn’t get to him.Couldn’t reach anyone. Couldn’t get out. Couldn’t do a fucking thing but exist inside this rotting silence. This feeling that gutted me from the inside out.A growl sound crawled out of my throat. I shoved the sheets off like they burned, like I could shake it all off my skin too fast. Three months and nothing. Not a word. Not a whisper. Just the memory of his blood on my hands and the sound of my own screaming.I slammed my palms into the mattress. Pressed down. Hard. Like pressure might force the madness back into the hole I’d stuffed it in. It didn’t. My fingers curled into the she

    CLAUDESHE WAS ALREADY waiting when the car stopped.Ava.Pretty as a painting. Not a hair out of place, makeup soft and pink like innocence still lived on her skin. She stood just a little too close to the door, like she wanted to be the first thing I saw. Like that was supposed to mean something to me.It didn’t.The door opened, and I stepped out. She smiled, soft and sweet, like she had rehearsed it in the mirror.“Claude,” she said, voice breathy like we were lovers, like we weren’t the wreck we always were. Like she wasn’t the reason for everything that had shattered inside me.Her hands were warm when they found mine. Too warm. Too eager.I didn’t grip back.She didn’t care.She tugged my hand with both of hers, pressing it against her stomach. Flat. Smooth. Nothing there yet. Just fabric and skin and something so small, too small to feel, something that had me clenching my jaw because I hated it. Hated her. Hated what she was doing.But she smiled like it was a blessing.“They

    CLAUDETHE CUFFS CLICKED open.They took their time about it—one wrist, then the other—like it mattered now, like it would somehow make a difference after everything they’d already said to me.I didn’t move.Didn’t lower my arms.Didn’t speak.The burn where the metal had bitten into my skin pulsed faintly, but even that felt far away—like it belonged to someone else. Everything did. My body. My breath. The air I kept forcing into my lungs even though every inhale scraped like glass.They banned me.From seeing him.From touching him.From Nikolai.I stood there like a ghost in my own skin, listening to the silence stretch. No one spoke to me. No one looked at me. It was like once they’d ripped him from me, I stopped existing.Good. Let me vanish. Let me fall apart somewhere they can’t see.“Move.”A hand landed on my back. I flinched so hard it rattled my chest. But I moved. Legs stiff, joints barely bending, like I’d forgotten how to walk. Like my body was still back in that room, i

    CLAUDEI HAVEN’T SLEPT. Not really. I might’ve closed my eyes once or twice, but it didn’t count—not when the nightmares didn’t wait for sleep to drag me under. Didn’t count when every soft beep from the monitor made my heart lurch, when silence stretched too long and I thought—this is it. He’s gone.But Nikolai still hadn’t opened his eyes.They said he was unstable.Said the poison from the blade was flushed out but now all I had to do was pray.Said it like it meant something, like their words could undo what I saw—his blood, too dark and too much, slipping between my fingers while he laid there. I didn’t care what they said. He was still here. Too still. Too pale. Too wrong.The bed barely dipped with his weight. His chest rose and fell, but it was shallow, mechanical, like his body had forgotten how to breathe without fighting for it.I sat curled at the edge, knees tight to my chest, arms locked around them like I could keep myself from falling apart. My palms had been covered i

    CLAUDEI DIDNT FEEL the ride.I didn’t feel the hands on me or the arms that held me down when I fought like a cornered animal. I didn’t feel the cold of the floor under my knees or the sting where my nails broke skin, clawing at the cement, at my own skin—anything that wasn’t him.What I felt was the bond.Or what was left of it.Fading. Dimming like a dying star. The tether we’d only just built peeling thread by thread.He was slipping through my fingers, and I couldn’t stop it.I couldn’t fucking stop it.My body shook with it—with pain, with anger, with fear so sharp it chewed through my ribs like acid. The moment they ripped him from my arms, something cracked. I didn’t know if it was in my chest or my head or my soul, but it broke and I couldn’t find it again.And when the metal door slammed shut behind the men working on him—Enzo’s people, his men, strangers who weren’t bleeding, who weren’t me—I hit the wall and slid down, my back scraping raw as I dropped.I curled into mysel

    CLAUDEI SIGHED—FOR what had to be the hundredth time today. I’d eaten, showered, done everything I was supposed to do. And now… now I was just waiting. It hadn’t even been four hours since he left, but the quiet was starting to press in, and I was already tired of sitting here, pretending I wasn’t checking the time.Like I wasn’t curious what had him leaving early in the morning.I pushed myself up from the couch and made my way to the elevator and pressed the button to the lobby. When the door opened, the noise hit fast. Loud. Busy. A mess of conversations, suitcases rolling, heels clicking. I kept my head forward and moved through it.Then I stopped. Every part of my body freezing. My ears twitching and my body on alert.It felt like I was being watched.I turned quickly, sniffed the air, tried to find who it was but all that hit me was the scent of heavy perfumes and sweat.“Claude,” A hand touched my shoulder and I jerked, turning, my eyes wide before a breath left my lips and th
