Third Person Pov Liam and Lydia escorted Nicholas into a private room to calm him down after they noticed that he was getting provoked by the chaos outside. After what Banzi said, every member of the pack started to mutter, and everything became even messier when Nicholas got accused of protecting his mother and even going as far as burying her beside his father. It was against the rules to bury a dethroned Luna anywhere near the royal family grave, but according to Banzi's accusation, Nicholas was accused of burying his mother at the Royal family grave even when he knew that it was against the pack rules. Nicholas was very upset when he heard this accusation, and he had almost reacted but just before he could attack Banzi, Lydia stepped in quickly, and held on to him to calm him down before signaling Liam to help her so that they could escort him out. They intended to get him out of the party and get him back home to The Palace, but Nicholas refused to go back home, and he chose
Third Person Pov Liam had given Lydia and Nicholas privacy and gone back to sort out the mess that was created at the party. Nicholas had wanted to be alone because he had a lot on his mind, but he couldn't possibly tell Lydia to leave. He knew that he was the one who kept her here in the first place, and it would be selfish of him to ask her to leave, knowing that he was the reason she stayed behind. Both Lydia and Nicholas were seated on the sofa in the room, and Lydia could sense that Nicholas was worried and unhappy. She didn't know what to say to him that could lift his mood, but she was trying to avoid saying anything that would upset him because she knew that his tolerance was very low at the moment. “I'm so sorry that you have to be here to deal with all of this,” Nicholas suddenly said to Lydia's surprise, and she looked back at home with a confused expression on her face. “And what exactly is it you're apologizing for?” she asked, wondering what it was that he felt sorr
Lydia Nicholas had left to speak with Liam on something that, I assumed, was important, especially since Liam had a serious look on his face and I stayed behind for a while, waiting for him to get back and avoiding going out of the room. I knew that if I made the mistake of going out just to look around, I was going to get questioned by several of the pack members, and I wasn't ready to answer any questions or deal with judgmental stares. I took a good look around the room and then, I proceeded to lie down on the sofa for a bit since I was feeling a little tired and stressed out. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard voices coming from the front of the door. I immediately sat up and paid attention to the voices, and one of the voices sounded very familiar. Nina? I wondered to myself as I heard her familiar voice speaking to someone else whose voice I didn't recognize. I initially wanted to go out to confirm if it was really Nina, but then I decided to wait behind a bit an
Third Person Pov Lydia and Nicholas decided to leave the rooms and head to the forest area behind the hills. Nicholas was sick and tired of several people trying to speak to him at the same time, so he quickly found a way to escape from all of them and propose that he and Lydia leave the rooms should somebody else come looking for him. Lydia didn't bother to object because she was also quite uncomfortable with staying in the room, knowing that a lot of people already realized where they were and could show up at any time to start interrogating her. She had seen Nina earlier after her conversation with Carmen, and they had spoken for a few minutes before she had to excuse herself from Nina because of Nicholas. She assured Nina that she was going to talk to her about everything and explain things to her when she got back, but she still wasn't sure of what she was going to say and how she was going to get Nina to realize that she wasn't who everyone else thought she was. “Hey, are y
Third Person Pov“Are you always so blunt and direct with your questions?” Nicholas asked, unable to believe that Lydia could be so direct without having any sort of filter. The things that came out of her mouth and the questions that she usually asked were things that always surprised him because he couldn't possibly say such things without cringing. “Didn't I just mention a few minutes ago that I'm very expressive with what I want and what I think and yes, I have no filter, and I'm always going to be direct with whatever it is I want to say? Now, since I might not be getting such an opportunity ever again, I'm going to use the one I have not asked questions and I will ask and one of them is, have you ever been with a woman before?” Lydia responded, having no intention of backing down with her question. She could easily tell that he was trying to figure out a way to avoid answering her, but there was absolutely no way she was going to let that happen because his reaction had only
Lydia I unconsciously ran my thumb over the skin of Nicholas's soft lips, waiting for him to claim my mouth in his. As perverted as it may seem, making out with him had been on my mind all night, and I couldn't wait to see how far we would go. I could hear his heavy breathing, and I knew at that point that it was only a matter of seconds before he gave in to temptation. It was actually frustrating to see him trying so hard to hold himself back, but I kept pushing anyway because I had no intention of leaving without getting what I wanted. My fingertips hover over his lips and his knee is pressed against mine with his hands still firmly on my waist. “I've got to give it to you. You really know the best way to get into a man's head,” Nicholas muttered, his breath tickling my already desperate lips that wanted his lips so badly. “It seems I haven't gotten into your head enough since we're still talking,” I replied, frustrated by the fact that he was still mentally strong enough to
Lydia I had definitely woken up on the wrong side of the bed because no matter how hard I tried to snap myself out of my bad mood, I always found myself acting all cranky again and being angry at anything and everything around me. I completely disliked the fact that my mood was this way because it wasn't allowing me to concentrate on the things that I needed to concentrate on, and it was also making me act weirdly toward every person around me.My mood had been this way since yesterday, and I knew that it was because of how things had played out between Nicholas and me. After Nicholas and I got back from the party, we both went our separate ways, with neither one of us bothering to say anything to the other. He was obviously avoiding talking to me and because I had reached my limit of shamelessness, I also made up my mind not to say anything to him and that was how we both got back home without saying a word to each other. Fortunately for me, he already informed Martha that he was
Nicholas “I didn't want to ask but seeing how you're not bringing it up, you've left me no other choice but to ask you the important questions,” Liam spoke up suddenly, breaking the silence in the room. He, Connor, and Alora had suddenly shown up at my place early this morning and as soon as I saw them come here so soon, I knew that they were up to no good.“Didn't you say that you were here only because you wanted to talk about what we were going to do with that priest?” I asked, remembering that was their excuse for coming here when I asked earlier. “Well, since we've already decided on what we're going to do with him, isn't it fair that we talk about something else?” he replied, and I glared at him. “Or you could just leave? Don't you have work to do?” I retorted. “Stop trying to get us to leave and just tell us what happened last night, silly!” Alora hissed from the other end of the couch, where she was lazily munching away on a bag of chips. “And what exactly are you expe
