Nicholson's POV "That's enough." I called out to the she-wolves that laid naked on my sofa. I made a mental note to get the piece of furniture replaced in the morning before I turned away from them."Can we return Alpha?" The woman called out to me and I turned back to them, uncaring of their state of undress."You are whores, are you not?" I gritted out."We work at Madame Elsie's." The woman muttered."No matter what you call it, it won't change the fact that it's a white house and I paid for the entire night with you two so you are stuck with me till morning." I announced before I turned away from them."But you aren't...doing anything. You are just sitting there, going through a pile of files while hearing us..." The woman cut herself off as I looked at her sharply."The only reason you are here is to do exactly as you are told. I've paid for the full night and that means you only leave when I say you do." I commanded but stopped in my tracks when I heard Thea's door creak open.
Amalthea's POV My eyes fluttered open as I heard a creaking sound accompanied by Nic's unmistakable, heavy footsteps outside my door. I slowly sat up from my head and stilled when I realized Nic's footsteps had stopped right in front of my door. My wolf perked at the realization and my heart beat loudly within me. Would he come in to claim me and mark me as his mate? Or was he here because I was his breeder?The thoughts swirled in my mind but my wolf didn't seem to mind either option as long as it ended with Nick here, with me."Go to him." Lux, my wolf, called out to me through the mindlink."And make a fool of myself?" I retorted."His wolf is calling out to me, he clearly wants to be with us as much as we want to be with him. All he needs is a little encouragement." Lux urged me and I bit my lower lip as my eyes strayed to the door. I could hear Nic's ragged breathing and I couldn't help but wonder if my wolf was right. Did he want to be with me as much as I longed for him?"St
Amalthea's POV "Well this is a room fit for a queen." Jade announced as she twirled around my new room. I had to admit the room was pretty big, bigger than my former room, and it was fit for royalty. Why had this room been locked away for so long?"Or a Luna." Jade continued and my heart dropped at her words as thoughts of Nic instantly flooded my mind. If only she knew how ironic her words were and where exactly I stood with Nic right now."Jade, he probably only moved me here because I'm his breeder." I pointed out as I plopped down onto my bed with a sigh...even the bed was softer and fluffier, I didn't know what Nic's agenda exactly was but at least I was benefiting from it."Don't do that Thea, I may not know what happened between you and Nic but it's obvious he's trying to make things right and this is just the start." She wiggled her brows at me.What if she was right and Nic actually wanted to make things right?But if that were the case why had he seemed so closed off when
Amalthea's POV "There are still so many places we haven't been to, come on Thea." Jade whined as we walked back towards the pack house."Jade, we've been to almost every store in this pack, I think that's enough shopping for one day." I muttered as I struggled to carry the bags in my hands without dropping them. Jade had woken up and had been in the mood to go on a shopping spree and of course I had been dragged along with her."You can never over do shopping, Thea, you have a lot to learn." She rolled her eyes at me as we walked into the pack house. There was much movement within the pack house as it seemed some sort of renovation was going on. "What's going on?" I asked Jade as we made our way into her room. Jade's room oozes of femininity in its baby pink colour and princess aesthetic, it fits Jade's personality and honestly I couldn't imagine her any other way."Probably Nic and Callum are up to something." She shrugged as I dropped
Nicholson's POV "I was surprised when Rose told me you summoned me." Callum announced as he strolled into my office."And why was that?" I asked as I leaned back into my chair."I'm usually the one seeking you out. It's good to see that my absence was noted and I was missed." Callum teased and I rolled my eyes at his dramatics."No one missed you Callum but your absence was noted." I looked at him pointedly."Where have you been when we have a pack to run?" I arched a brow at him."You seemed to have a lot going on. I thought you needed some space and that was what I was giving you." He shrugged as his eyes met mine and held in a challenge."A lot going on?" I asked."Ever since Thea's birthday you've been out of sorts." He noted."How exactly does this affect you being here for me as my beta and how we run the pack." I gritted out."As your beta you aren't supposed to hide things from me,you
Nicholson's POV I channeled all my pent up anger and frustration onto the punching bag. I groaned as I could feel my hands blister at the continuous punches I threw at the bag."You've been going at it for an hour, Nic. If you don't feel better by now, I doubt anything in this world can make you feel better." Mikayla called out to me as she walked into the ring.I didn't bother to reply to her but I stopped punching the bag as I tried to catch my breath."When last did I get the pleasure of seeing a sweaty Nicholson." Mikayla teased as her hands slowly caressed my back."I'm not in the mood Mikayla." I moved out of her reach and turned to face her."You are never in the mood Nic, you are always grumpy." She rolled her eyes as she looked down at my blistered knuckles."Come on, we have to treat that." She called out to me as she walked off, looking over her shoulder to ensure I was following."Are you going to k
