Malcom's POVI woke up to the shouting and screaming from outside of Nicolette's room. The sheets had been thrown around and her scent lingered.The sounds of footsteps were heard next as the slam of the front door rang through my house. I felt a break through the pack's barrier. Someone had gotten through border control. I'm going to need to have a talk with them.I fling the curtains that covered the window open and saw Nicolette leaping through the trees and warriors following her on foot. I let out a growl. How could Lucas just let her go out like that.I fling open the balcony door and jump to the ground and shift into my wolf.My wolf begged for the control. He wanted to be the one to save Nicolette but her safety came before the pride of my wolf.I ran through the trees catching up with Nicolette's vampire speed. The scent of rouges hit my nose as Nicolette came to a stop.I shifted back into my human form and found clothes. The same man that had captured Nicolette the other da
Nicolette's POVThe weight of his knee caused the bed to give in as he cautiously climbed into my bed. My breath hitched as his hand crept onto my waist.The tingling sensation made my wolf beam. I could hear his heart racing as he continued when I didn't stop him."I can go back if you're uncomfortable," he said to me. I thought about my answer and threw my blanket over his body and moved towards his warmth.My demon always dominated my wolf when it comes to body temperature. It is always a pain to be so cold during the winters. His body radiated heat which kept me from shivering.His scent filled my senses as my face presses against his body. His hand was tightly wrapped around waist and slightly held me against him. I felt comfortable in this position. I felt safe. I let out a breath as I let myself fall asleep again.---"Again," she said. I groan as the candle in front of me had burned into a mush of wax again. I peeled it off of the grass and threw it into the pile of melted can
Malcom's POVI watch Nicolette start to devour the hamburger put in front of her, courtesy of Albert coming here on short notice. I thank him for coming and he leaves to go back to his wife. She quickly eats it all and I got Lucas to get more blood bags for her."I'm going to sleep," she mumbled after putting her plate and cup in the sink. I stand up and push in both our seats in."Why? You just woke up like an hour ago," I said as she walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed, again."Yes, I'm very tired," she calls out from the bathroom. I hear the water start to run as I walk out of her room."Looks like I owe Seth ten dollars," Lucas said. I look over and see Lucas standing there with his arms crossed and smile plastered on his face."What?" I asked unamused. He just laughs and points to Nicolette's room."I bet ten dollars to Seth that you wouldn't fall in love with Nicole. Seth bet ten dollars that you would fall in love," he explained. I roll my eyes at my beta. My gamma an
Nicolette's POVNovember 17, the day I became vulnerable around Malcom. My mom appeared in my dream and I woke up crying. I couldn't get myself to stop.I choked while I tried to calm myself down but I just couldn't. I drank some water to stop the tingling in my mouth from crying so much. My breaths became choppy as I breathed in and out. My pillow became damp with my tears as they kept rolling down my face.Somehow, my wolf had convinced me to go seek out Malcom. I missed it. His strong grasp around me as I fell asleep. I yearned for it as he slept in the other room.I should hate him for all the things he's done to fuck me up mentally and physically. I should hate him for putting me through hours of pain when he was with other she-wolves but I wanted it.I stand up next to my bed and sit down immediately. I wanted to convince myself that I was going to make a fool out of myself but I had inky thought that by the time I was next to his door.I took a deep breath before knocking light
Nicolette's POVMalcom let out a grunt as he walked off from where I was sitting. Seth and Lucas had already left. I had known they had been watching. They weren't very careful with hiding that they were watching me.The pile of burnt wood was starting to grow and suitable logs for burning we're starting to become scarce in this area I had been training in.My level of control had not improved but maybe decreased since I had last worked with my mom all those centuries ago. She always forced me to sit there for hours while blood fell from my nose. The only times she would let me rest was to use the bathroom.She was so fixated on trying to get me to master the control of the elemental powers I had that she barely noticed the points I was about to pass out.My father learned to not bother my mom while training me with magic. All the times I have accidentally sent sharp objects towards his head probably gave him the impression that it was better to stick to training me with my wolf and d
Nicolette's POV"I would really love to stay and watch your precious mate bleed out but I can't take you with help on the way," he said and disappeared with impressive speed.I dropped to the ground where Malcom was laying. If a normal dagger had hit him it wouldn't have affected him but it was sliver.Smoke curled up from his skin from where the weapon was implanted in his shoulder. He laid flat on his back growling at the pain. Tears rolled down my face from the immense pain my body was feeling.The smell of Malcom's blood made my demon antsy. The time he gave us his blood made my demon wanting more. He made himself a target for my demon.I felt the veins to my eyes turn black and my eyes go bloodshot. I close my eyes and take a few breaths until my face went back to normal."You idiot," I whisper to him while I asses the damage that had been done to his shoulder. I lightly touch the dagger and he let out a snarl as it pressed deeper into his skin."You should have called for help e
Malcom's POVShe wanted it to work. She wanted to do it together. She kissed me. I got Doctor Lauren to patch her up while she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't question how she got hurt and worked quickly on her.She was drained. I could make the loudest noise and she wouldn't move at all. I grabbed a fresh towel and a bowl of water and started to clean the blood off of her body.Her body had started to bruise from where he had hit her. I got angrier and angrier with every wound I saw. I should have known that leaving her alone was a bad idea."Lucas," I called through the link. As I waited for his response, I tried my best to rub the dirt off of her too."Yeah?" He finally responded."Find two of our best guards and keep them posted in front of Nicolette's room at all times and find a trustworthy male omega to help Nicolette whenever she's in my house," I instructed."Why male?" He asks. I take the bowl of tinted pink murky water and pour it out in the sink and rinse it and hand was
Nicolette's POV"Hi I'm Nicole," I greet them. They smile lightly and nod."Luna," they say simultaneously. I let out a nervous chuckle and shake my head. I felt uncomfortable that they called me Luna. It makes me feel more important than I actually am."You can just call me Nicole," I said. They nod and I see another wolf standing on the side. His power seemed weaker. Probably a omega."Who's he?" I ask Malcom."This is Elijah. He's going to be here every day except Sunday to watch over you and care for your needs while I'm working," he explains. I roll my eyes and groan."I'm not helpless Malcom," I state. I hated being treated like I'm some fragile little girl. I may look like I'm 24 but I'm 683 and about to be 684 in 11 days."Yes but you like to get yourself in danger," he points out. I let out a sigh and rub my temples as I process what he just did."I'm not happy with this. It's like a total invasion of privacy," I complain. "What do you know about me?""You're a tribrid," one o
