Amalthea's pov"Amalthea, is that really you?" Fredrick stared at me with wide eyes."You two know each other?" Nic growled and I slowly tore my eyes away from Fredrick. Nic stared from Fredrick to me with a small frown on his face as he waited for an answer."Yeah," I said simply and ignored Nic's questioning look as he waited for me to explain."What are you doing here?" Fredrick asked as he walked towards me."We aren't done..." Nicholson gritted out, clearly agitated."I'll find you when I'm done, Thea," Frederick stopped in his tracks. I simply nodded but he still stared at me with a hint of confusion in his eyes."Don't you have things to do?" Nic quirked a brow at me but I ignored him and after one last glance at Fredrick I turned on my heels and left.As I walked into my room my mind was still reeling. What was Fredrick doing here?And more importantly what business did he have with Nic?"A penny for your thoughts?" Jade's voice broke into my thoughts."I didn't even hear you
Nicholson's POV "There's an alpha here to see you." Callum announced as he strolled into my office."What does he want?" I rose my eyes from the stack of papers in front of me."He said he needs your help," Callum revealed and I quirked a brow at him."Honestly I don't know what it is about, he said he would speak to only you and he looks harmless." Callum added and I sighed."You know better than to judge based off looks," I told him pointedly."So should I let him in the pack house?" Callum inquired."No, I don't know this alpha and I don't know what he wants. Keeping him out of the pack house would be wiser," I commented as I rose and strolled to the door.Callum walked beside me as i walked out of the pack house and directed me to the alpha."Alpha Nicholson?" The tall man who had been leaning against a car straightened as I approached him."And you are?" I asked, keeping my features blank as I assessed him. Callum was right, the man didn't look like a threat but I would be a foo
Amalthea's POV I lethargically walked towards the library, a mug of steaming hot coffee in hand. Jade and Callum were nowhere to be found and there was no way I was conversing with Nic so that left me with only one option...to go to the library.I paused as I opened the library door and my eyes met Mikayla's who was sitting right where I usually did with a book in her hand. "Thea, I was hoping to catch you." She said, closing her book as I was about to leave the room."I wanted to read but you look like you have a lot on your mind and you need the peace and quiet," I shrugged as I closed the door softly behind me."You are right. I do have a lot on my mind," she replied as she let out a huff."Well then..." I said awkwardly unsure how to proceed."Why do you always seem nervous and fidgety around me?" Mikayla asked after a moment."I do?" I cringed and Mikayla gave me a flat look."Come sit beside me." She patted the space on the couch beside her and I hesitantly went over to where
Amalthea's POV "I've summoned you all here to watch as justice is served." Nic's voice boomed loud and clear across the whole pack. "This wolf has hurt one of our own and by doing so has hurt me and all of you, her actions have created unrest and..." Nic went on to address his pack and I couldn't help but get lost in him. He was clearly in his element as he reeked of confidence and power as he addressed the pack. "Mate," My wolf howled with pride within me and I silently reminded her that he had rejected us, dampening her mood.Nic signalled for the woman to be brought out and after a few seconds she walked slowly as the guards led her to the stakes. Many pack members were riled up and they shouted vile words towards her as she was being tied up.I couldn't place why but as a guard lit a matchstick and lighted a stake, my heart dropped. The woman didn't put up a fight and her eyes met with mine and held. Lifeless...that was the only possible way to describe her stare which was iro
Amalthea's pov"Well..." Jade began as she closed the door and smiled knowingly at me."Well..." I retorted as I turned away from her, desperately trying to hide the blush that was creeping up my cheeks."Did I interrupt something?" She arched a brow at me as she plopped onto my bed."Of course not," I replied too quickly and cringed as I knew Jade would definitely pick up on that.I marvelled at how easily my body came alive whenever Nic was close to me, even now my body still hummed in awareness of him and the close proximity which we stood a few minutes ago."Earth to Amalthea," Jade called out to me and I wiped off the sick smile on my face before I turned back to her. She stared at me quizzically before realization dawned on her after a moment."You are in love with Nic aren't you?" She asked with wide eyes and my heart dropped."What we should be talking about is how I can speak to that woman before Nic does anything to her." I replied, trying to change the topic. Jade stared a
Nicholson's POV Rage surged through me as I paced in my office."Nic, you need to calm down," Callum called out to me but I ignored him."This isn't the time to let your emotions get the better of you." Cal said."My emotions are well under control," I growled as I glared at him."Would have fooled me." He muttered as he rolled his eyes but I ignored him."So what are you going to do now?" Callum asked after a moment."About what?" I arched a brow in irritation as I turned to him."The woman." He looked at me quizzically."She's going to burn...at the stakes obviously." I said with faux calm as Callum assessed me."Thea wants to talk to her." He said after a moment."Absolutely not." I growled."She wants to know why the woman-" Callum began."I said no, Thea is going nowhere near that woman's cell and if she does you'll answer to me," I threatened as rage surged through me."Jade is already taking her there right now," Callum muttered and my nostrils flared as I brushed past him and
