Jade Pinkerton pov

Looking at the tray before me I glanced up and watched Nikolai rise to leave me with his own food. I wanted to question him more about my dad but it was obvious that it was a sore subject for him. He headed into his office while I looked at what was on my plate.

My stomach gurgled as I lifted the chicken leg and took a big bite.

“Mmm this is good, my compliments to your chef,” I announced and heard Nikolai grunt.

“Guess someone pissed on yours,” I muttered sourly and heard him rolling his desk chair backward into the bedroom with the food tray balancing on his lap.

Glancing up at him, I noticed that he was chewing on a T-bone that hung from his mouth.

He ripped it away then eyed me.

“I'm trying to enjoy my meal, okay, chatty Cathy. I enjoy having my meals in peace; otherwise, I would be downstairs with my men,” he asserted. I took another bite of the chicken leg and nodded as I lowered my eyes from his intense ones.

I continued to watch him eat like a savage

    Jade Pinkerton pov Feeling him finally licking my neck, I closed my eyes, savoring the jolts of pleasure it caused. “Please don't try to run away from me again,” Nikolai growled softly, causing me to crack open my right eye and peek at him. “Why would you ask me that?” I questioned as I turned to face him. He lowered his eyes and muttered, “Just don't, Jade.” Studying his attractive features I exhaled softly. “If I agreed not to run away, may I stay out of the cage and be able to sleep on this couch at least?” Rolling his eyes he heaved bitterly, “Were you not listening to me before? We're leaving this place and going to another one of my houses. I don't need you running off and getting lost in the forests there.” “Aw, you really care about me…will my friend also be coming, and Jesse too?” Nodding his head, he explained that Thomas and Jesse were part of his household and traveled with him wherever he went, which made me smile. “Great, I like them both and always w

    Jade Pinkerton pov Struggling to raise my legs, climbing the steps seemed impossible. I hissed as I looked up at Jesse. My thoughts of escape had been thwarted unintentionally. “I'm not going to turn into a vampire from Thomas's scratch am I?” I asked worriedly. Furrowing her brow she laughed nervously and waved at me dismissively. “Oh no, you would need to receive an actual conversion bite with the venom of someone who really wanted you to convert. So a mate or a really ancient vampire or werewolf to experience the change. I'm certain that you just got a bit infected from Thomas's dirty claws since all he does is tend to your friend. I will get you to the Commander's bed and bring you up some hot chicken broth. I believe that it helps sick humans.” I was happy that Monica was being cared for but loathed being ill. Although the thought of sleeping on Nikolai's comfortable-looking bed instead of the hard floor made my feet begin to tread up the steps. “When is he expec

    Jade Pinkerton pov Leaning against the cage, I looked up at the bedroom door opening slowly, and the young servant girl, Jesse, peeking inside. “Do you want to talk?” She asked me quietly and I gave her a confused scowl. “What is there to talk about?” I questioned rudely. Giving me a pout she scurried inside and then pushed a chair toward my cage. “I overheard you telling the commander that you were bored, and since I'm all alone here now, I'm bored as well,” she said curtly as she sat and faced me. “How old are you even?” I asked bluntly. Fiddling with her hands on her lap she sighed. “I'm sixteen and my mom was killed at the warehouse in your town…I was told you were responsible,” Jesse ground out as her strange colored eyes rose to my startled ones. “I, I uh, I was trying to save people,” I blurted, and she tilted her head as she studied me. “By killing mine?” “There were others who were fighting back. So it wasn't just me,” I lied while my mind pictured the

    Nikolai Romonav pov Marcus gestured for me so I left Jade staring after me in the cage. “The redhead is still going through the conversion, and Thomas suggested that we submerge her in an ice bath to lower her core temperature. None of us has been witness to a human successfully making the change,” he said softly. Furrowing my brow, I glanced back at Jade, straining to listen, so I told him to head to the hall while the others vacated my space. “Thomas believes that she is his mate?” I inquired and Marcus nodded. Unease filled me with the possibility of humans being mates with our species, and I felt Ares grow angry within me as I thought about Jade possibly being mine. Vincent, my vampire, was telling Ares to open his heart and give her a chance but my Lycan was standing firmly in his disgust. “There's something off with that female,” he asserted within my mind, causing me to furrow my brow. Both had been giving me a headache since I first met the young woman. “Stop

    Jade Pinkerton pov Standing up on my shaky legs I pulled on my crotch wedgie and glanced at the balcony doors. Just as I was about to open the glass door Nikolai asked me what I was doing. “I just wanted to get some fresh air,” I stated. “Leave the door open to air out your loose morals,” he asserted and I eyed him incredulously. “What?! You bit me and caused my hormones to go haywire!” The ass stood there eyeing me with narrowed eyes and a stern frown. “I want nothing to do with you or whatever game you're trying to play with me, Mister nor do I have control over how my body reacts to you snacking on my flesh,” I stated firmly and stormed out onto the patio in a huff, leaving him with his mouth hanging open at my words. “I don't care if he's some weird cryptid high commander…as far as I can tell, he's just an ass with a superiority complex,” I muttered sourly to myself as I paced the patio. I peered back at him, certain that he had heard me with his dog hearing but
