Nikolai's POV"So what is the problem that you couldn't do anything yourself or couldn't ask a surrounding pack?" I ask in annoyance. I cannot stand this wanker. I certainly can't stand his brother, who is, - Thankfully- not here.I don't think I would have been able to hold myself back and not kill the bastard if he were here. When Jade died, I thought it was an accident. Until I found her phone and saw several (obviously) drunk messages and missed calls from Nolan fucking Matthews, Gamma of the High-Claw pack, telling her he didn't mean to hit her that hard and that he was sorry and hoped she recovered like the last time! One of our closest friends died because he hit her so hard she died from it, and I bet his sorry ass never knew that she didn't live. I will never forget his voice. The slur of his words and the laughter in the background. I will never forget the moment I entered her room with Rem, when I knew she was not sleeping.Whatever I had eaten the day before came up as I
Sierra's POV The mood in the car is a lot. It's tense, and I don't do tense, but no matter how I put it, it's a lot to go on with. We started our journey late in the afternoon yesterday, after Nikolai had visited the office, and then we stayed at a hotel just off the border of Idaho. It wasn't big, but it was also nice. I have never slept in a hotel before. My dad worked long hours, and my mom never wanted to leave unless my dad was there.I never minded. We spent a lot of time together when Dad was working, and when he got home, we did things as a family. I couldn't have asked for better parents."Are you sure about this baby-girl?" Nikolai asks me as he wraps an arm around my back.As the minutes tick down and I see the signs for my hometown, the same hometown I haven't been in since I was pre-teen Sierra, I find myself getting sicker and sicker with nerves.Not the kind of nerves where I feel like I'm going to get caught or anything, but the kind of nerves where I'm sitting in a p
Chapter 66: Badass in the making. Sierra's POV"Can you focus for five minutes?" I ask with a defeated sigh. I love this man. In a very short amount of time, I have become obsessed with him, and it isn't because I find him to be my saviour or my hero. I don't. "Sweetheart, I am focused, but when you talk about all of this...it makes me hard", he says, pointing down to the obvious bulge in his slacks. He's off to a business meeting at the tech company today with every intention of gaining a new sponsor.In the bedroom, he's been teaching me all the things I want to learn that he may like. Things that I would never ask, but he offered because he knew deep down that I wanted to give him pleasure, even though he claims it's all good and that I don't have to. "Well...we can't have that now, can we?" I tease, standing in front of his desk in my oversized hoodie, leggings and my signature fluffy socks that he got me for Christmas."No. No, we can not," he says with a smirk on his face, bu
Chapter 65: Nikolai’s POV“What?” she asks as I stroke up and down her face. Her body is rigid with emotions, and I can feel her anxiety. She knew they would say no. She knew that it would be a challenge to get everyone to accept her request because they care.She's not had someone or a pack to care about her in a very long time, but right now, right here, she's experiencing first-hand how a life with me—surrounded by the people who love and respect us the most—can be. She's seeing it with open eyes.Fear is a very fragile emotion because if your enemies see the fear sitting deep in your eyes, they can use it to their own advantage, and that could be game over. “You showed them that you're capable of making a choice. That you would put your life on the line for them the same way they took their oaths to protect you at whatever cost” “I know it's a big choice, but-”“Baby-girl, I had every ounce of faith in you. Now come. Let's go and find a reasonable disguise for you,” I tell her
Chapter 64: It's a No.Sierra's POV"No", Maeve says stubbornly. "My answer is a firm no because we love seeing you safe. Fed. Happy," I knew she would be the first to say no. Well, actually, I thought it would be Eric or Joey or even Mike, but it had to be the one who I also looked at as a mother figure to me. The one who gave me grace when I thought I was messing something up, gave me time when I needed a shoulder that wasn't a male. No offence, Nikolai. "I have it all worked out. I have the blueprints, which could be used and are still up to date, because Alpha Zade refused to spend the money needed to guide his pack into safer grounds when something happened. If something happened, I say fighting my own tears because I'm a grown adult wanting the approval of around 20 people seated at the table. "Honey," Mike starts to say, but when he sees my defeated look, he sighs and stands to come around the table. Nikolai is seated at the head of the table with a smugness about him. He kn
Sierra' POV"Well, Sweetheart...I beg to differ, so you're going to listen to what I am going to tell you to do, and you are going to do it and thank me afterwards."Holy all mother of goodness. His words have always been the trigger I needed to get myself off. If there were any other way to do it, without him talking dirty to me and being inside my head, I would, but when he speaks to me like that, in that tone and those god damn muscles out on show, I could honestly combust on the spot. "Yes, sir", I say with a slight tremor. Not because I'm scared or anxious, but because I am so turned on right now that it's hard not to think about or do anything else."Good girl", he drawls the words out when he speaks, which only makes me wetter than I think I have ever been. Honestly, I could gush at his words alone. "On your knees,, He commands, and I'm more than happy to oblige to his command. I think at this point, I would do just about anything he asked of me."Are you listening, sweethear
