“He’s on the training ground.” The guard I asked about Nikolai’s whereabouts said to me and from his facial expression, I could tell that I wasn’t the only one who hated Nikolai.
Walking as fast as my legs could carry me to the training ground that it felt like I was running, I bumped into someone and without lifting my gaze, I apologized.“Get back here!” An unfamiliar voice barked at me before pulling me back, “you just fucking bumped into me.” She added and I could tell that she was more pissed than I thought.“I’m sorry.” I apologized politely this time. I took my time to take in her features and she just might be the prettiest lady I have ever come across. She doesn’t look familiar and that told me that she was probably a visitor.Her lush hair fell radiantly on her shoulders and she could easily make every lady in the pack look like an ugly goose just with her regal beauty.Her face was a perfect oval shape and her high cheekbones were exotic. Her nose was straight, perfectly long and charming.“It’s fine,” she brushed me off, making me blink as many times as I could, “I’m looking for Nikolai, do you know where he is?” She asked and I was taken aback.What does a perfectly looking girl want with a jerk like Nikolai?“I’m sorry but who are you?” I asked like it was any of my business. All I was supposed to do was lead her to Nikolai without any questions because that was also part of my job.“I’m Jenna,” she introduced herself to me, “I’m the former beta’s daughter and also Nikolai’s girlfriend.” She finished and I gasped.There’s no way I just heard her right. Nikolai is not capable of a relationship and if what she’s saying is right then that means Nikolai had been cheating on her.“Jenna, I….” I wanted to tell her what I thought of Nikolai and how he’s been shoving his cock up the maids' pussies when she wasn’t around in order to ruin their relationship but everything I wanted to say got stuck in my throat when Nikolai appeared.His body glistened with sweat from his intense training and for the first time, I felt my pussy throb. My body reacted to the sizzling heat that was coming from Nikolai.“Babe,” Nikolai said as he pulled Jenna into him and kissed her so passionately that I felt my blood boiling, “I didn’t know you were coming.” He finished.“I wanted to surprise you.” Jenna responded, trailing a part with her fingers from Nikolai’s lip until she stopped on his cock and I gagged.“I missed you.” She chuckled, making me feel like yanking my own hair out of my head. Watching them was hurting and my only guess was that it was hurting because of the mating bond.“Take Jenna’s bags to the room close to mine,” Nikolai ordered me, “that way we’ll have easy access to each other.” He finished, turning to Jenna this time and kissing her all over again.Nala whimpered and I felt pain like electricity surging through me as I took the bags from Jenna. With no other choice, I helped her set her room up right beside Nikolai’s and it didn’t take long before I finished setting up.On my way out of Jenna’s room, I turned to see Nikolai waiting for me in the hallway. My brain kept screaming at me to go back into Jenna’s room but I remained where I was standing.He took a step closer to me and I took one back until my back hit the wall, leaving me with nowhere else to go. The smell of his pheromones was so alluring that I wanted him to take me right here and now but I shook the thought out of my head.He’s a horrible man and I hate him but my body was disagreeing with me and I hated to admit that he has such huge effect on me.I want him.“Don’t feel so bad, Lilliana,” Nikolai’s seductive voice sounded like music to my ears and I melted inside me, “I have plans for you too.” He added as he bit his lower lip.His fingers moved a loose tendril of my hair to the back of my ear as he lifted my head so that I was going to he staring right into his eyes.My knees felt weak and my legs threatened to be unable to carry me any longer. If I remained in front of him, there’s no telling what I’d do.Shaking the thoughts out of my head, I tried to pull away but he yanked me back into him and I lost my footing as I crashed on his chest.The sound of his heartbeat was so soothing that I didn’t want to pull away from him but I have to. I can’t let him know what he was doing to me.To my body.He must have known what he was doing to me already, how much effect his presence has on me because his eyes didn’t stop feasting on me, it felt like he was eating me up without pulling my clothes off and I could feel heat rising from within me.“You can be my sex slave while Jenna remains my chosen mate.” He finished and I swear I could hear multiple bells ringing in my head as fury overcame me.Although he’d rejected me, I never accepted nor did I reject his rejection so I could feel the intense pull from the bond pulling me to him.Fighting the mating bond, I summoned all the strengths that I had left in me and pushed Nikolai so far away from me. My breathing had paced and I could feel my heart thrumming so loud in my chest that I could hear it in my ears.“I would rather die.” I spat before storming out of the hallway as fast as I could.Nikolai’s POV“NIKOLAI!” Lilliana’s loud and alarmed voice reached me in the bathroom where I’d gone to take the ointment for her back.I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that she’d already probably seen the mark on her back. Hurried, my feet padded back to the bedroom and I walked in to Lilliana freaking out.Her towel had dropped to the ground and she had an obvious look of terror on her face. Tears already welled up in her eyes as she stared at me.“W— What’s going on? How did these marks get there? What’s happening?” She asked, freaking out and thrown into a world of confusion.“Calm down, it’s nothing serious, I promise I’ll get to the bottom of things and we’ll get something done about the claw marks.”“Do you even hear what you’re saying?” She screamed and I could’ve sworn that my eardrums bursted with that loud sound.“They are claw marks on my back and you’re asking me to calm down,” she screeched, “how did they get there? What’s happening? Do you know something?” She bomb
Lilliana’s POVGroaning, my eyes fluttered open and I stretched out to feel Nikolai beside me. His eyes were closed and his sleeping features were hotter than ever.Everything seemed peaceful and as the memories of what happened last night flooded my mind, I felt myself melting.We’d left the dinner hall and had a really good time before falling asleep. A smile formed on my lips and I moved Nikolai’s hair away from his face.“When you stare at me like that, it makes me want to eat you for breakfast.” Nikolai’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as he pulled me into him.“Maybe I won’t stop staring at you like that then.” I threatened and I felt his cock kick against me.“Well, Good Morning.” I smiled, grinding against his cock and feeling it grow even harder and an inch longer.“Stop doing that, you still look exhausted.” Nikolai warned but stopping was the last thing I wanted to do.I’ve been feeling unusually horny these days and right now I wanted him to fuck me but he seemed too w
Lilliana’s POV“I’m sorry,” I muttered an apology to Kieran with no idea why when he’d just told me that he hoped Nikolai would treat me right.I don’t know why this man seems to think that he has to have a say on my relationship and I hate the fact that whenever he says things like this, he says it with so much confidence.It’s almost like he’ll be waiting in a corner for when Nikolai messes up so that he could tell me that he did warn and tell me so.“Also, Nikolai has always been treating me right, I don’t doubt the fact that he’s going to do so tonight too.” I smiled and Kieran nodded.“Right, I’m sorry about that, I just say things without thinking.” He apologized, smiling as he walked me to the entrance of the hall.“You should go now.” He finished and with a nod, I walked closer to the entrance before turning to look at him but he only urged me on.If anyone had told me that Kieran could be this nice and this much of a gentleman, I would’ve argued because he has always been a j
Lilliana’s POVI was still stuck behind the big oak tree with Kieran, the night was silent, peaceful but there was nothing peaceful with being either Kieran.I’d just seen him walk into the dinner hall clinging onto Jenna and I know I shouldn’t care but I couldn’t help the multiple questions that kept running through my mind.Are they dating now or their date was supposed to end as soon as the dinner was over?Sighing, I pinched the bridge of my nose and couldn’t believe that I was stuck with Kieran of all people, my heart raced and I felt uncomfortable.“What were you doing in the bush all alone?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I shuddered, “you could’ve really gotten yourself killed, Lilliana, what were you thinking?” He added.Turning my head to look in his direction, I felt the hairs at the nape of my neck curling as the cold breeze grazed my ear like the touch of cold fingers.The last thing I wanted was to get myself engaged in a conversation with Kieran, even though
Lilliana’s POVWalking as fast as my legs could carry me, I could feel my heart racing and I knew really well that it was because of Jenna.She was the last person I was expecting to see and I can’t just stand being in the same space as her.I felt bad for judging too soon too because a part of me felt like Nikolai didn’t really know that she was going to show up to the dinner.The sound of my phone ringing jolted me out of my thoughts but I continued walking since I already knew who was calling. It was Nikolai and he had called multiple times already but I’d decided to ignore the calls.I wasn’t mad at him or anything because I knew there was an explanation for everything and in Nikolai’s case, he didn’t know she was coming but I also can’t bring myself to go back there until I’m calm.Finding a place to sit, I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. I didn’t want to wander too far off because Nikolai might try looking for me.The fact that everything looks familiar calmed me do
Nikolai’s POVThe night was going smoothly and having Lilliana in my arms felt like having heaven within my reach and when she hugged me.Goodness, when she hugged me, it felt as though time had stopped and it felt so good. I was so afraid of moving that I couldn’t even breathe.She felt so warm and her body felt really soft pushed up against me, I wanted to keep holding her without ever letting her go.My heart pounded and I could hear the gushing sound of my own blood as it rushed through my veins, spreading to every part of my being.Closing my eyes, I took in a whiff of her delicious scent and I wanted nothing to take away this moment.The urge to keep her close to me was insane, I didn’t want to let go of her, I wanted to maintain that proximity, to keep loving her and overall, to protect her. I felt her muscles tensed and I could feel that something was wrong as she pulled away from me.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” I asked but she looked so lost that she probably didn’t hear w
