Masuk{ Nicholas's POV }“Touch me. Please”Three words. That was all it took for every instinct in me to demand I pin her down, rip her clothes and take her until she couldn’t form another sentence but I forced myself to stay still.I needed to take things really slow with her. She had just started trusting me and trusting she could be loved for real this time and I don't want to ruin things. Even though it's so hard to not lose it being this close to your fated mate who doesn't even recognize you as theirs.It was the worst form of torture any wolf could face. Kyle was something else entirely—pacing and snarling inside me, slamming against my control, he was desperate to claim her right there and finish what we started.I stared at her back as she rolled to the other side. I noticed her shoulders go stiff the moment she clicked on the screen. Curiosity got the better of me. I shifted slightly, trying to see the screen. I couldn’t read the message, but I caught the name—Alisha.She had
WARNING ⚠️ THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. { Elena's POV } “Elena?” Nicholas asked, his voice low.I swallowed. “Just… touch me.”His eyes darkened. “Where?”My eyes dropped down between my legs. I wanted him there, even though I was to embarrassed to say it. He searched my face for a second. “You sure?”“Yes.” I nodded, eagerly. My voice came out small. Something shifted in his expression softer, but heavier at the same time.He kissed me again, slower this time, while his hand slid down from my neck, over the lace of my singlet, his fingers squeezed with one of my nipples, it already hard. A small sound slipped out of me into the kiss. Then his hand went down to my shorts, under the hem. His palm was warm against my bare thigh. When his fingers brushed between my legs, he went still.“No underwear,” he said, his voice rough.My face burned. “I wasn’t expecting anyone.”“Fuck.” He made a deep sound and kissed me again, then he brought his fingers to
{ Elena's POV } After having the maid bring my lunch up to my room—didn’t want to face any more weird confrontations with Ambrose—I was on my laptop all day, trying to get into the list of websites Alisha, my personal ally and head of my source team, gave me to look up the Black Daggers. I had tried searching on the internet but got nowhere. Every page either showed me things I already knew or just went blank. Someone had really taken their time wiping the Black Daggers off the internet. Left with no other choice, I called Alisha, but she was buried in her own problems and the rest of the team weren’t much better at hacking than me. No. I think I’m a little bit better. Just one tiny bit. So I decided to try myself. An hour passed. Two hours. After three hours, I gave up and shut my laptop in frustration. I couldn’t get past the security on any of the sites. They were stronger than anything I’d handled before. Now I truly regretted skipping those hacking classes. I let out a
{ Elena's POV }Twenty minutes later I was back at Crescent Moon Manor. I dropped onto one of the couches in the sitting room.“Your lunch will be ready soon, ma’am,” one of the maids said as she passed by.I nodded at her and tried to relax, but the door burst open almost right away.“Ambrose, what the heck,” I said, almost standing from my seat.He didn’t answer. Just sat on the couch across from me.“What happened?”I stared at him. “I don’t get it.”Ambrose chuckled and it wasn't sweet. “First he calls you babe. Then I spot bite marks on your neck. Then you get jealous because he accepts another woman’s opinion—his childhood friend, for goodness’ sake—and then you pecked him on the lips right in front of us.”My mouth dropped open.“I repeat for the very last time,” Ambrose said, his tone serious now. “What happened?”My fingers fidgeted with the edge of the pil
{ Elena's POV }“And that's not all.” Nicholas continued.My eyes went wide. He really had to be kidding me.“What in the actual fuck did he do again?” Ambrose muttered, leaning forward.Nicholas looked between Ambrose and me, then sighed. “He's been watching us the whole time—our movements, everything we were doing.”He brought the laptop closer. “See.”I pulled the laptop toward me and my breathing stopped, Ambrose stood up and came to my side. I noticed his breathing paused for a second too. We exchanged glances and stared back at the screen.Ambrose was speechless and I was even more speechless than him.MK has been watching us this whole time? What the hell.But why?I dropped the laptop back on the table and turned to Nicholas.“Do you know where we can find him?”Nicholas shook his head. “Find him? That’s a very hard and almost impossible task, Elena.”“Why though?” I rubbed my temple. My head was throbbing now.“Because he's the head of one of the biggest crime organization.”
{ Elena's POV } I kept staring at the passage after Renaya left, following after Nick. I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to tell him or what they could possibly be discussing or why he even left the sitting room in the first place. Faint sounds of talking was the only thing I could make out after straining my ears for the past five minutes. Childhood friend, huh? She's been acting all touchy and way too familiar with Nicholas and it's making my stomach ache. “He's mine.” Lia growled. “Shut up.” I snapped back. She whined and settled back down. I don't why I'm letting myself react like this. Where's that entitlement coming from? It's not like I'm his girlfriend or mate. We're just getting involved with each other. And Renaya is just his childhood friend, right? I tore my eyes away from the passageway and brought it down to my knees. Gosh Elena Rivers! Get a grip.“Hey.” Ambrose said, looking up at me. “What?” He scouted closer. “You've been staring at the passage sin
[Nicholas's POV ] I strode out of the room and flung the door shut with a loud bang. Her sobs followed next. For a moment, I felt regret; a part of me wanted to go back and apologize... but no!It had to stop one day and that day was today."You did the right thing," Kyle said in a reassuring tone.
[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
