A Body Bag
Nikola POV
I woke as if I were returning from Heaven. A strange sense of relaxation had come over my body before I fell asleep with Roni in my arms. She was far more astonishing than I had imagined. My wolf was calm as I inhaled her scent.
My stomach reminded me that we had skipped dinner. I gently kissed my mark on her neck. I knew without the healing abilities of a wolf; she will take longer to recover. I felt her body twitch in response to the pain. Instantly regret washed over me.
“Don’t feel bad, it doesn’t hurt, not really.” Roni said rubbing her eye.
“I wanted to wake you up gently. We n

Veronica POV “The ‘scent’ that was on me the other night was his brother.” I said after a few minutes of silence. Nikola put his fork down and finished chewing slowly. I tried to figure out his thoughts, coming up empty. I was relieved when he answered. I didn’t know why I didn’t say something right away. “Have you seen them before? Football games? Fundraisers?” His eyes were fixed waiting for my answer. “Not that I can remember.” I answered honestly. “It could be nothing, luckily I will be around.” He

Veronica POV I expected sporadic sleep thru the night. Something about Travis’s change of heart kept poking at the back of my mind. As soon as I laid my head on Niko’s shoulder I relaxed. I wasn’t sure I would ever grow accustomed to the way it felt when we touched. The alarm began to buzz, before I was able to reach for it, I felt Niko stretch his arm over me. Instead of returning to his position he pulled my body on to his locking his arms around my waist. I was happy to delay leaving the safety of the blankets for a few moments. “Good morning, Angel.” His raspy voice spoke singing to my ears. “I would just like to say staying in bed all day seems like our best option.” He began to leave ki
The Empath's Mate Fear
Nikola POV I sat in my office after updating Peter on the situation with Travis. I knew I would have his support. He knew that wasn’t something I was going to run by him first. Luckily, he trusted me as he should. He made sure I covered everything before heading to Roni’s office. I tried to join him, but he made sure to send me to my own office. I felt Roni become anxious through the bond. She seemed to be overwhelmed for a moment, recovering quickly. Unable to sit still I paced in my office. Suddenly I felt a change in the bond. I couldn’t tell what it was, it was as if she was beginning to reject me or something. Unable to hold myself back, I burst into her office. Roni sat in her ch
The Empath's Mate Doc
Nikola POV As I made my way around the kitchen preparing tea for Roni my cell phone was in my left hand as I texted a few contacts. Not knowing what happened with Roni was causing my wolf to remain at the surface. I didn’t want to leave her to run. I needed to control it long enough to ensure she is safe. Hearing footsteps on the porch I rushed to the door to open it before the knock. I didn’t think the pack doctor would be so quick, the hospital he volunteers at is over 45 minutes away. The tall man standing in the door was not the pack doctor. He looked familiar with ash blonde hair and green eyes. I could sense he wasn’t human. Typically, with vampires we can sense the air change an

As the pain in my head grew worse, I tried to remember the last thing before I blacked out. I was in Nikola’s truck. He went inside because the door was kicked in. My brother is going to kill me for that, I thought. I remembered being in the truck, closing my eyes trying to stay calm. My mind was going a million miles an hour thinking of the possibilities.
