登入What do you think is going to happen between Nicholas and Ambrose?? 🤔
{ Nicholas POV } I stepped aside, and he strode in like he owned the place—actually he did; the building was one of the many rental properties owned by the Crescent Moon pack. I'd realized that when I moved in, Dorian booked the place, so staying here wasn't intentional, but I guess Dorian knew how to plan coincidences. “So…” I started, shutting the door, “What brings you here?”“Taking an apartment on one of our properties, huh? Is that a strategy to get closer to my sister?” Ambrose said, already relaxed on one of the couches, his voice cold. “Funny,” I chuckled, taking a seat on one of the couches across from him, “actually, I heard your houses had the tightest security and perfect interior decor, so why not?” A smug smile formed on my lips. He eyed me warily, and it only made my smile grow wider. “You care for a drink? I got whatever Roseville stores had to offer.”“And you think offering me a drink is the best decision you can make after catching you touching my sister.” Ambros
{ Nicholas POV } She came.I'll admit, I wasn't entirely sure she would. Elena Rivers strikes me as the kind of woman who does the opposite of what you expect just to prove she can. But came, right on time, coat pulled tight against the cold, arms tucked in pockets. Kyle was insufferable the entire walk to the border. I'd stopped responding to him by the time I spotted her pacing.She didn't hear me coming. I stood there for exactly three seconds watching her mutter something under her breath, probably cursing me, before I announced myself.“Hey.” She turned and I felt it. That pull. Same as always. Worse than always, actually, because this time she was sucking me all in with her gaze—she scanned me from head to toe, lips slightly apart. I chuckled to myself at her reaction, she had it every single time we met, she could feel us but why she hasn't recognized us yet still unravels me. As much as I hate to admit—I wanted her. Simple as that and complicated as hell. I wanted to claim
[Elena's POV]My pulse quickened. I didn't need to think twice to know who sent the letter. Nicholas Hale, my handsome stalker. What hat does he want now? “You should go.” Lia muttered. “Of course you would say I should go.” I rolled my eyes at her, and she huffed. I looked outside the window to see if there was any trace of someone lurking in the shadows just in case Mr. N followed us back home today, but there was nothing; everything seemed okay. I heaved a breath and closed my window shut and threw the note into my drawer, then headed for the bathroom. I had showered for thirty minutes straight; the warm water felt so good on my skin I didn't feel like getting out. My head felt a lot lighter now, at least now I could think straight and feel the slight sting in my palm from where the glass had pierced. It should be fine before dawn. I quickly changed into my nightgown and headed for the door. I need to speak with Ambrose. The sound of my footsteps echoed through the hallway
[ Elena's POV ]His hand was still on my face when Ambrose found us. I did not hear my brother coming, I was too caught up in a pair of amber eyes and the warmth of a thumb brushing the last of my tears away. The sound of his voice snapping mid-sentence was what brought me out of the spell."Elena where the hell have you—"A pause. Then silence.I stepped back from Nicholas so fast I nearly lost my footing in the heels. Ambrose stood at the garden entrance, eyes moving slowly from my face to Nicholas, then down to the hand that had just been touching my cheek. His expression did the thing it does when he is calculating—perfectly still, giving nothing away and that was somehow worse than anger."Ambrose—" I started."Who is this." It wasn't a question, he never asked a question in this tone. “Don't be ridiculous now, you saw what happened, Ambrose. He caught me when Lucan threw me.”“And so fucking what if he did.” He huffed, walking towards where I stood. “Ambrose?!”“Just be quie
{ Nicholas POV} I didn't know if it was instinct, Kyle, or just me, but I ran here as soon as I could to catch her from hitting her delicate skin against the hard tile. “I got you.” weře the words that left my lips the moment I gripped her waist with my hands. She was so frightened, she held my neck like her life depended on it, her eyes closed tight, chest heaving. That bastard had flung her with such force that shouldn't be used on a woman. Not just any woman—my mate. My anger was blazing hot. Kyle was going wild inside me. I had to force him to stay calm; going feral won't help right now. The crowd stood in awe, their brains probably trying to process how to react to the situation in front of them. Slowly her breathing became steady, her beautiful eyes fluttered open—meeting her gaze calmed Kyle instantly. Her expression was quite unreadable—shock mixed with something that looked like relief, like she was glad I came to save her.“Nicholas,” she muttered, slowly losing her g
{ Elena's POV } My world seemed to tilt as Lucan and Melissa descended the stairs arm in arm. I fought hard the tears that threatened to spill out. My gaze stayed fixed on them no matter how hard I tried to look away. My surroundings blurred—the applause, cheers, laughter; it all faded. Only the sound of my chest heaving heavily and Lia's panting remained. Lucan was clad in a black tux, as handsome as always, while Melissa wore a silver ball gown that looked similar to my wedding dress—how pathetic trying to copy me. Lucan’s head turned, and for a split second, his gaze locked on mine. Time paused, like everything stopped moving, my breath caught, a knowing smile touched his lips as if saying, ‘I knew you would come,’ then it's gone quickly. I almost convinced myself that I imagined it. He continued down the stairs, Melissa clinging to him like a second skin. My breathing was erratic. All the emotions crashed down on me at once like tidal waves—pain, anger, revenge, betrayal, and d
[Nicholas's POV ]I stared at the rare beauty in front of me, deep brown eyes drowning into mine like she couldn't have enough, smooth pale skin smothered with drops of water, her wet long hair clung to her skin, damn....she had only a towel on, it seemed she just came out of the bathroom. My eyes
Elena's POVHis large frame filled the entire doorway; his chest heaved as he had run the whole way back. He was still in his warrior gear and there was mud on his boots.The next thing I know, he's right in front of me, engulfing me in a warm embrace. “I was so scared Lena, thought I lost you,” he
Elena's POVAnother growl thundered and I knew for sure something was definitely wrong else what would make my father summon the entire pack at this time of night. “No…nothing should go wrong now, not after all that happened. Spare us Moon goddess.” I prayed silently. Taking a deep breath, I star
Elena's POV The forest was too quiet. No crickets. No wind. Just the sound of my heart pounding like a war drum in my chest.I don't know how long I've been running, but I know I'm close to the borders of Roseville, the most dangerous part of the city, prone to frequent rogue attacks. I had to sto
