Jade Pinkerton's pov

Standing next to Nikolai I peered at his profile and felt my insides churning. My heart felt odd as if it wanted to break out from my chest.

I pulled my hand from his as I rubbed the area and screwed my face as I tried to calm the organ. Curious if being this supposed hunter was what was causing my odd reaction to Nikolai I eyed him warily.

“What's wrong?”

Shaking my head slightly I felt my hand close tightly, my fingernails leaving half moons in my palm.

“What exactly is a hunter? I heard Monica and Thomas mention my mark…Am I not human?” I questioned as I eyed him worriedly.

Shrugging, he explained, “Honestly, I am uncertain. I just know that there is a bloodline of humans who are more equipped with knowledge on how to dispose of cryptids like me.”

Pinching my mouth tightly, I couldn't shake the pissed off feeling that needed rectifying. Wishing to tear apart the two who tried to kill me weighed heavily on my mind.

“I really would like to stab, shoot, or

    Jade Pinkerton's pov A week, that's how long Nikolai has been gone. He left with James and his former troop members to speak with Beta Trent about allowing them to join the pack, supposedly, but I have my doubts. I voiced my worries to Thomas who had joined me in the kitchen during my reprieve from Avery. The sweet child was napping and I needed a blood bag. “You know he loves you, Jade,” Thomas stated, and I nodded. “How's Monica? Is she having any back pain yet?” I asked curiously and he shook his head as he shrugged. “Not yet but Emily told us she will go into labor at any moment.” Nodding with a grin, I bite into the bag and feel my cells spark at the nutrients. The door to the kitchen opened, and Nikolai strode in with a big smile followed by Asher and James. Pulling the bag from my fangs I eyed him incredulously. “Well, hello, stranger,” I muttered, and he chuckled huskily before leaning next to me and pecking my temple. “I've made a positive life-changing dec

    Jade Pinkerton's pov A couple of months later~ Standing awkwardly with an axe in my hand, I gauged the distance to the target covered in snow, then released it. It tore through the frigid air, then buried itself in the bullseye, giving me a smile. Rubbing my baby bump I winked at Nikolai and waddled toward him to see how I'd done. “You're improving greatly, but your balance will change after the pup is born, so you'll need to adjust your stance,” he said softly, and I nodded. “I am well aware, dearest,” I replied with a grin. “I really don't want to be an Alpha, Jade but winning against Jamison is personal for me.” “I know, but I'm going to win either way, so technically I will be the Alpha,” I told him confidently with a smirk, then wrinkled my nose at the stab of pain in my lower back that had crept up once again. I had tried to ignore it all morning but it was becoming more persistent. Eyeing me critically Nikolai asked me if I was getting contractions. Screwing my face I

    Jade Pinkerton's pov “Wait up!” I shouted as disappointment filled me at the sight of him walking away. “I should have stayed as he requested,” I murmured sullenly. “Yes, you certainly should have,” Senay stated, causing my shoulders to droop as I followed Nikolai through the trees. “I don't know why he is so pissy at me. He failed to disclose that he was related to Jake and now Jamison,” I snapped and closed my mouth seeing him waiting up ahead for me. I lowered my eyes from his stern ones studying me as I neared him. “You're angry with me because you left the house when I asked nicely for you to stay?” He questioned, and I side-eyed him, then shook my head slowly. “No, but I am sorry for killing your brother and getting challenged by the other one. I wouldn't have done any of that had I known they were your relatives.” Peeking up at him I was confused by seeing the grin playing on his face. “Please don't call them my brothers. I don't and will never call them family…You, T

    Jade Pinkerton's pov Just as I was about to turn and sprint away I was yanked back by a handful of my hair and hissed. Jamison turned me around to face him. I spat in his face, then narrowed my eyes, seeing the anger ignite within his irises. “Release me! I want nothing to do with you, “ I growled. “Perhaps you don't but I have something I wish from you,” he said in a rough, deeply accented timber. Eyeing him strangely, I shook my head and yanked away from his hold, leaving him with a handful of my dark hair strands. “I'm not interested,” I growled sourly then tore off in the direction of Nikolai's home. The persistent ass was hot on my heels, I glanced up at the tree branches above my head that I was passing. Then, spying a low-hanging one, I jumped up quickly onto it. Running carefully across its length, I went to another branch, then another, and heard Jamison cursing below. “I'm going to shoot you, female! Come down here!” “Fat chance,” I murmured as I slowly eased my w

    Jade Pinkerton's pov The following morning I woke to an empty bed. My stomach sank as my eyes focused on my nightstand to see a long-stemmed red rose and a handwritten letter addressed to me. “Did he leave to get the twin,” I muttered sourly as I reached to grab the note. My eyebrow cocked at his lovely penmanship as I read the note. “Dearest, I will return after I have dealt with the threat. Sorry, I didn't bring you; it wasn't done out of disrespect, but because I didn't want you or our pup to be harmed. Much love, Nikolai.” Studying the swirls of the letters and the ink I swallowed uncomfortably. “Did he write this with ink and quill? How old is he?” I questioned in exasperation. “Nikolai is aged and accustomed to the older generation,” Senay responded with cynicism. “Well, he's amazing in bed for an old geezer,” I chirped as I climbed off the bed and stumbled into the bathroom to shower. As I washed, I debated on whether I should go after him, but my Lycan was

    Jade Pinkerton's pov “Let me get Monica, I want her to stand with me,” I murmured, causing Nikolai to chuckle. “Bring Thomas as well since all four of us are tying the knot. It will be a dual wedding.” Smiling at him I shoved down the bitterness I was feeling over Sofia. After squeezing his hand, I called out for my bestie and her mate, but then glanced at him when Asher came to his side. “Are you sure they want to get married?” Nodding Asher smirked, “Their child needs its father's surname.” My eyes widened briefly as my insides bubbled with excitement, and when Monica sauntered up to me, I burst into laughter. “We are pregnant!” She grinned and looked at me nervously. Nearing my ear she asked how I knew. “Asher told me,” I chirped excitedly and she pouted. “I haven't told Thomas yet.” Asher tilted his head toward Thomas as he laughed, “I believe he knows now.” Monica and I turned to see Thomas's face light up with happiness as he rushed forward to greet my best friend.
