Today had been different from what I was expecting. Having Mary follow me around wasn’t as annoying as I thought it would be, in fact watching her and gaging her reactions to my world was entertaining. I was intrigued throughout the council meeting. Mary’s head had popped up a little when they mentioned Human Mates, and I began to wonder if that was a conundrum that she hadn’t heard of yet. It seemed that more and more frequently wolves were discovering that their fated mate was a human, the fae were also discovering their mates in the human realm as well. Could it be possible that Nikolai, the strongest of them all, was mated to a Human, someone so fragile. Nikolai refused to think about it. There was no way the fates would mate him to her. They knew the life that Nikolai led, one full of danger and violence at every corner. If Mary was his mate, then the fates had a fucked up sense of humor. I continued to think about my day with Mary by my side, as I was patrolling the Werewolf- F
After laying down pouting in Nikolai’s bed, I figured I could make better use of my time, as I began to rifle through Nikolai’s belongings, hoping that maybe I would be able to find something useful either to help with my escape or help when I am free and searching for the wolves that murdered my sister. At the thought of Anya, I felt a familiar ache in my heart. She’d died so young, she had so much life left to live. I pushed the heartache I felt for Anya away, I’d later use that pain when I faced her killers. My search through Nikolai’s closet had been for nothing, the only thing I found was that Nikolai was very particular about the way his clothes were organized, each item was separated by category, the dress shirts with the dress shirts, the pants with the pants, the suits with the suits, the jackets with the jackets, and so on and so forth. Then each category had its on sub category, separated by sizing, color, and length. Part of me, wanted to rearrange the closet and see how
Hello little fighter.” Growled the sound of a voice I hadn’t been expecting to hear again so soon. I took a deep breath, trying to find my courage before turning around to face my enemy. “What are you doing here wolf?” I asked glaring at Beta Daniels.“I’ve come to fetch my prize.” Beta Daniels smiled wickedly, his wolf flashing in his eyes. I felt goosebumps cover my entire body, I was terrified and I knew I wasn’t going to make it out of this alive, if I tried to fight, but I’d be damned if I let a werewolf take me alive. If I could just get to Nikolai’s bathroom, then I might be able to find a weapon to at least inflict some pain on the wolf. I heard a loud bang outside of Nikolai’s room and then a vicious growl. The palace was under attack. The wolves had laid siege. How the hell did they know Nikolai would be away tonight, were they behind the murders between the werewolf-fae border? Had this been a calculated plan to get Nikolai away and steal his throne. “Where’s the King?
As soon I materialized in my room, I saw red. How the fuck had a wolf gotten into my room, and why was he attacking Mary. My aura lashes out, my beast wanting to destroy the wolf who had his hands all over what was ours. The words came out of my mouth before I could stop them. “Get the fuck off my mate.” “Mmm..mmm… mate?”the wolf stuttered, finally realizing the exact amount of danger he was in. Mary raised her head and looked up at me with a questioning look. I knew she wasn’t going to let what I said go and I would have to explain it later, but right now I needed to deal with these damn mutts who thought they could take over my fucking throne and rape my mate. I let my beast loose, allowing him to attack the wolf. We tore him off of Mary, and slammed him into the wall with enough force that it cracked the wall, bits and pieces falling down, exposing some of the bathroom. The wolf let out a small whine, before retreating completely, leaving his pathetic human to finish the fight
I followed Kade quietly to the Queen's suite, my mind racing with the events that had occurred today. Nikolai had called me his mate; what did that entail, and why had the Beta wolf stated that I was a weakness to Nikolai? Would I become a target for his enemies? Was my life in more danger now than it had previously been. Would whatever relationship I had with Nikolai differ from what it was currently. When I reached the Queen's quarters, I was greeted by a shriek; my heart skipped a beat, thinking someone had been injured. "Mary," Nevaeh screamed, engulfing me in her arms. "I thought something terrible had happened to you; Kade had said something had occurred in the King's chambers and that his presence was needed, and when he dropped me off in the Queen's room, and you weren't here…" Nevaeh sobbed, "I thought, that perhaps that Nikolai had lost control of his rage, due to your obtuseness of behaving, and he'd killed you." She continued to sob, pulling me into a tight bone-crushing
I pulled away from Mary, hesitating; I wasn't sure if right now was the appropriate time to be doing this. I didn't want her to wake up tomorrow morning and regret it, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask her as I pull away, staring into her eyes, looking for even the slightest trace of hesitation. Mary reached up and grabbed my neck, bringing my chest back against hers; I could feel her taut nipples through my shirt. I could smell her arousal and her ache for me. It took everything I had to wait for her confirmation that this was what she wanted. "Yes, Nikolai, I'm sure." Her voice huskily responded, "Please make love to me and help me forget." Her lip trembled slightly; I wasn't sure if it was because of tonight's events or because she was afraid I would reject her. I placed my body weight softly on top of hers, my arms beside her head to help keep me propped up a little. "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," I whispered in her ear; I could feel the heat of he
The wolves were getting anxious. I don’t know how long my brother and I will be able to continue our false pretense of being on their territory. “Tell me dragon shifter, why is King Nikolai so interested in the mate bond.” Purred the Alpha Wolf. “I am not sure.” Draq responded with his voice and face void of emotion. “Tell me seer,” the alpha wolf sneered, standing from his chair, causing it to go flying backwards and he placed his hands roughly on the desk, leaving an impression, “does this have anything to do with the blood slave he has hiding in his chambers.” My gaze flickered to my brother’s for the briefest of moments, how did Alpha Ash know about Mary. And how did he know Nikolai kept Mary in his chambers, was there a mole in the palace. Only Nikolai’s most trust advisors were allowed on the kings floor, surely one of them wouldn’t have traded the King’s secrets. I was unable to hide my emotions quick enough at the shocking mention of Mary, the Alpha wolf smiled slyly. “So
Nikolai has been incredibly distant since the night we made love. The only time I see him is at night when it’s time for bed, and even then, it’s nothing romantic. It’s just a formality with his need to protect me. He hand’t even fed from me, and it made me curious, if not a little jealous, as I began to wonder where he was getting his blood from. I tried not to let his distance bother me. It was better this way. I wouldn’t be tied to him and I could still avenge my family’s murders, as soon as I was able to get out of this prison. It seems like a strong word, but since the attacks, that is what the palace feels like. I’m only allowed to leave the confines on the King’s quarters to attend meals. I was no longer allowed to go to the village or even walk around the gardens. The only visitor I was allowed was Nevaeh, and she seemed to be coming around less frequently as if she didn’t want to be associated with me, a nobody. Nikolai had ordered guards to escort me and wait for me outside
