Niko POV:

The night sky hung around me, no stars or moon to be seen. I loved nights like this. Cloudy, slightly breezy, silent, and dark. It was perfect for me. I had never been one to enjoy what most did. I didn't enjoy the sunshine or the birds chirping happily in the trees. I hated the beach and evening walks through the park. I hated the heat. I chuckled to myself as I thought about everything I hated. Come to think of it, I had grown to hate just about everything.

Except for her.

Justice.

I typically disliked interactions with people of any sort and avoided them as much as possible. But Justice...she was different. I didn't hate her. I couldn't say I absolutely liked her either, though; however, I didn't hate her, and that was a first. I suppose that's why I'm so drawn to her. That and she's gorgeous. You can tell she's had a hard life. The way she responds, or doesn't respond, as if she is afraid of the consequences of speaking her mind. She isn't from money; that much was clear

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 20

    Justice POV:I pulled on my comfiest pair of grey sweatpants, a solid black tank top, and a matching grey hoodie. I looked at myself in the mirror, not too surprised to see dark circles under my eyes and my skin pale and dull. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and quickly brushed my teeth before heading to the living room and calling Niko. I stared at the empty walls and packed boxes while I waited for him to answer. Any time I've called, he's answered by the second ring at the latest, but this time he didn't answer at all. Doubts started filling my mind, making me wonder if he was avoiding me. Maybe he decided I'm not worth the trouble. That would be okay, I thought to myself. In reality, I knew I wasn't the easiest right now. I met him at the worst time possible, I think. In the midst of drama and heartache. A few minutes later, my phone rang, Niko's name flashed across my screen, and suddenly, my palms grew sweaty. I wasn't nervous when I called him the first time. I was read

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 19

    Niko POV:Well, I feel confident saying that Pixel has learned a valuable lesson tonight. I smiled proudly as I wiped the blood from my hands. He will never so much as look or drive anywhere near Justice again, and he also will not ever try to collect owed debts from family members...the children of the adult addicts specifically. He should never have done that in the first place. I doubt he'll front anyone again after tonight. I left Dale to deal with him with strict orders to keep him alive. He is one of my best sellers after all, so I don't want to have to replace him. I hopped in my car, debating on what I should do. My wolf wanted to go to Justice; part of me did too, but I wasn't sure exactly where we stood after the incident. I never got to take her out for her birthday, and I doubt she'd want to now. I don't even want to anymore. I'll give it to her, though. It seems she's trying to be braver lately, as if she's got something to prove. Who she's trying to prove anything to,

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 18

    Justice POV:I walked through the house, turning off every light after ensuring all windows and doors were locked. I peeked out the blinds carefully and spotted Niko sitting and watching from his car. I couldn't help but wonder how long he planned to stay out there. He's done so much for me since meeting him. But something is screaming at me to pump the brakes. It just doesn't make any sense. While he's been nothing but nice, mostly, there is something about him that I can't quite put my finger on. I get this feeling that there's a whole other side to him that I have yet to find out about. He's young and has money that most older adults don't have. Sure, young adults can become rich or well off, but it's not common, especially in this small town. He keeps his family a secret, yet he already knows so much about mine. My phone dinged, alerting me to a text.Niko: If you need anything, let me know.I couldn't help the smile that crept across my face. While I had my doubts about him, my

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 17

    Niko POV:I attacked, successfully knocking my mother from his grip. But she didn't run as I told her to. Of course, she didn't. Women don't listen. She shifted right along with me, adding to the chaos. The only problem was that my mother was an omega with no combat training. Instead of helping, as she intended, she actually made it worse for me. I couldn't focus on just fighting off my father; I had to split my attention to make sure she was okay, too. One thing you never want to do is lose focus when you are fighting, especially against a seasoned alpha like my father. If I'm being honest, I never once thought I could win against him. Not at this age. But I did believe I could at least save my mother... if only she'd listened and run when I told her to. But she didn't listen, so it was all for nothing. The ass-whoopin' I took that night will stay with me forever. I really thought I was going to die that night, and I'm surprised my mother made it out alive at all. But she barely di

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 16

    Niko POV:Now it was time to pay Pixel a little visit. The sky was dark, no stars shining or moon lighting up the night. I loved nights like this. Dark. Just like my soul...according to my home pack. They had just gotten used to a soft alpha, which is the only problem. Life was good when I was young. Rough, sure, but I wouldn't change a thing about it. That's what made me so strong. My mother, my dad and Alpha's first mate, was very caring. She loved the sun, flowers, gardens, birds, literally everything happy. My dad, not so much. He and my mother were young, only eighteen, when they met and mated, and they had me right off the bat. She was a stray my dad had met one day near our border. Her parents were killed when she was young, and she'd been roaming around since. She had a free spirit, she always claimed. My dad was on patrol when he found her and took her in without hesitation, though Mom did make it clear when she told the story that she gave him a little bit of a fight at fi

  • Justice in Bloodlust   Chapter 15

    Niko POV:I sat in my car down the street from Justice's house, feeling a mix of frustration and concern after the whole day. I don't know what it is about this girl, but she's getting to me. Sometimes, in a good way, and sometimes, in a bad way. I immediately went straight to her house when she called about Pixel. The dumbass wouldn't answer his phone when I called him, so what happened next was on him. Justice has no idea what all I do, and I plan to keep it that way. But I couldn't believe how ungrateful she was.She had the nerve to talk to me the way she did in her driveway. It was everything I had not to teach her a lesson. My wolf is the main one wanting her, though she almost tried his patience too. I've been told I have an anger issue, but that's not how I see it. I have zero patience for disobedience. I have zero patience for bullshit. As an alpha wolf, I don't believe in backing down in any way. It doesn't matter what the situation is...What I say goes, and I have the stren
