LOGINTyson watched Nicholas as he continued to sit on the rolling stool. It was clear he was deep in conversation with his wolf. They were most likely arguing about Rowan refusing to heal Nick. Tyson was doing his best not to show his amusement at the situation. Nicholas was wearing a shirt that was too big for him, and he still had the tissues sticking out of his broken nose. Nick had always had the presence of an Alpha until this moment. Now, he looked utterly ridiculous and defeated in every way. “I smell our mate,” Rowan told Nicholas. “No, you don’t. Olivia is not our mate,” Nicholas replied. His wolf, Rowan, had fallen for Olivia and urged him to claim her as their chosen mate. Rowan knew Olivia was not their mate, yet he kept insisting. “Not Olivia! Someone else. It is faint, but they were in this room recently,” Rowan insisted. “Are you positive?” Rowan huffed and replied, “Of course I am, you blabbering buffoon! Our mate was here, in this room, and we need to find her.” “We
When they dropped below the clouds, Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief. He could see the Obsidian Clan spread out below them, signaling they would be landing soon. Kevin bellowed as they neared the cleared circle they used as a landing and launch pad. Nicholas saw several figures at the edge of the clearing as they touched down. When he hopped off and Kevin shifted, they walked toward the group waiting for them. Nicholas recognized all of them and could feel the anger seeping from their very pores, all directed at him. Jake, Eric, Devon, Joe, and Elise watched the pair intently as they walked up to where they stood waiting. Jake stepped forward and, without warning, punched Nicholas square in the nose, knocking him flat on his back on the ground. “That was for the way you treated Olivia BEFORE you were dosed with magic,” Jake told the Alpha. Jake extended his hand to Nick and helped him to his feet. “Now that we have that out of the way, you need to do everything in your power to ma
Nurse Jerry came bursting into Nicholas’ room, startling Nick to the point that he nearly flipped his chair over. Jerry was shaking and out of breath. Nicholas immediately went on high alert, his wolf, Rowan, trying to push forward to assess what was happening. “Nick, you are going to be going to the Obsidian Clan. You will be leaving as soon as someone from there arrives to get you,” Jerry panted. “Why? What happened?” Nicholas asked. “I don’t know for sure. The part of the conversation I caught involved Olivia and the baby. I wish I knew more,” Jerry admitted. “I’m ready to leave as soon as they arrive. It isn’t like I have anything to pack other than my toothbrush,” Nick said, trying to show he was calm even though he wanted to scream and punch the wall. “Did they say when they were leaving the clan and if they were driving or flying?” “They said they would leave immediately. I am assuming they will drive because the nearest airport
Tyson lay on the bed with Olivia between his legs and on his abdomen. Rose’s blanket was thrown across them, keeping her warm. She had barely stirred when he had changed her into a soft sleeping bra and panties. The doctor would be there soon to perform another ultrasound and examine Olivia and the baby. Tyson had a sinking feeling in his chest as he thought of what Dr. Clark might say about Olivia and the need for her to begin intravenous support and, even worse, possibly a feeding tube. A soft tap sounded on the door. Lucy stuck her head in before entering with breakfast. She was careful to close the door behind her as quietly as possible. She eased the tray of food onto the nightstand before placing a small bowl of fruit next to the fey dragon on the bed near Olivia’s feet. “How are our girls doing?” Lucy whispered to Tyson. “Tired. I’m worried about them,” Tyson answered as he stroked Olivia’s head. I am giving Olivia as much skin-to-skin contact as possible so she can draw ene
Carson Mathews sat smirking at Gavin, the Werewolf High Council guard member who had been put in charge of his interrogation. They had tried everything within their power to get information from Carson about the poisoning of Alpha Nicholas. So far, the man had done nothing but sit silently with an arrogant grin plastered across his face. “What is it you wanted, Carson?” Gavin asked him. “We have evidence that you tampered with Dark Moon Pack records. You had access to the Alpha’s food and drinks prior to him being dosed, and if that isn’t enough, we have your phone records showing you were in contact with a dark witch in the months leading up to all of this. Why? If you tell us why, we might be able to cut a deal.” “What do I want?” Carson laughed, speaking for the first time since he was taken into custody. “I want to speak to Alpha Nicholas Williams.” “What else?” Gavin questioned. “Nothing.” “What if I can’t arrange that?” “Then you get nothing,” Carson hissed. “I will see w
As Olivia awoke, she became aware of something touching her nose. She squinted her eyes before forcing them open to be met with the fey dragon touching her nose with his. It was looking into her eyes, blinking at her. For some reason, she felt like the dragon was trying to will her awake. She giggled as she pulled her arm from under the blanket and rubbed its little head. The head scratches made it sit up and scoot away from her face a little. “I see how it is. Ignore me and toss me aside when you find a dragon cuter than me,” Tyson rumbled into her neck as he kissed where his mark would be later. “How are you feeling, love?” “OK. I’m embarrassed and still sore, but I’ll live,” Olivia answered as she pushed herself tighter into his chest behind her. “Why are you embarrassed?” “I don’t know. What if they thought we were doing some wild, freaky stuff, and I got hurt?” Tyson took her chin and turned her head so she was looking at him. “No one thinks that.
