Nick’s POVBeing forced away from Soma, I was not happy. I wanted to shift, but she doesn’t know my secret, and those vampires probably had some kind of herb to weaken me. I tried to break free from the handcuffs, but I could feel they were coated with something. Either they knew what I was, or they played it safe because of the werewolves in the area.“Where the fuck are you taking me?” I snapped at the Detective. “That fucker hurts Soma, I’m going to kill each one of you slowly.”“Relax mutt,” he said looking at me in the rearview mirror. “He’s not going to hurt her yet, but in time he will. We need her.”“Yeah like the Lycan King is going to stop killing you blood demons.” I spat at him.“You never know, especially how valuable she is,” he said with a smile on his face.I wanted to rip it off and eat it before he died, but I knew I had to keep my cool in case this blood bag wanted to try something funny. I knew I had to get in contact with my other brothers and let them know things

Lycan King Gideon’s POVI paced the floor, I knew my best warriors were out there looking for the girl. Nick showed the most promise. The girl he mentioned had a certain smell almost faint, I wasn't sure if it was because she was among the humans too long, or if her father had something to do with it. I needed to find out which it was.Heading to the island that Nathaniel was exiled to, I wasn't even sure he was alive, the last time anyone had seen him he wasn't too well off. Pity too he made a good warrior until he met his human mate, I hated her, and I hated him worse since he took something special from the Lycans.“Nathaniel,” I called. “I know you’re around, I can smell you.”“Gideon what do you want?” he growled coming out of the bushes.“It’s King Gideon.” I snared.“Not to me, remember you’re the one that forced me here, you’re the one that exiled me from the Lycans.” he spat.“Yes, I did, because you betrayed us,” I said shifting myself. “Now I come to ask you about your daug

Oliver’s POVFinding Soma was safe at the hospital, I relaxed a little. However, Drew was going crazy because he wanted to be there with her. I knew that would be a bad idea, and it would make her think we had something to do with this.I needed to wait until her friend came back and tells me what is happening. I hoped she doesn’t think I was a part of this and told the police who did this to her. I knew it was Marks, but I couldn’t prove it as there was nothing in the cabin that gave away who it was. Still, I needed to figure out how to get him to admit to it, and hopefully, he will be locked away in a garlic chamber and killed slowly, but that was only wishful thinking.“Don't worry Oliver she is fine,” Micah said coming into the office.“You don’t know that, and you don’t know what she is going through at the moment.” I snapped at him.“Well if you would have told her what and who you were this may have been avoided.” he countered.He was right, had I been honest with her and told

Nick’s POVSeeing Soma the way she was, I didn’t like it. I still wasn't sure what they used on her eyes to make her blind. I needed some help and wasn't sure King Gideon was going to do anything for me, not unless he gets the credit for it. I wondered what he was doing right now, probably feeding his fat face and enjoying not having to worry about being in the war.I hated having to leave her at the hospital, but I needed to speak to her mate, and that was something I hated to do. He wasn't going to be happy to know he will never be with her. Once King Gideon comes for her, she will be forced into our world and she will be forced to reject him. I hated being the person in between them, but this was how Lycan laws here, there was no room for compromise.Arriving at Soma’s store, it was dark so Detective Marks didn’t mess with it thankfully. I glanced over at the coffee shop, I could see the silhouette of someone standing near the window, I am assuming it’s Soma’s mate.Walking across

Soma’s POVI wasn't entirely sure I wanted to go on a date tonight, I was already scared of Detective Marks, and it seems he and Oliver have some history. Maybe I should hear him out and see what he has to offer, I can’t keep dealing with Detective Marks and his craziness.“Are you okay?” Nick said shaking me out of my thoughts.“Yeah I am just thinking about tonight, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to go on a date after what just happened,” I said shaking my head. “I think you and Oliver can go and hang out, I just want to go home and hide.”“No Soma, you need to hear him out. He will protect you as long as you let him.” Nick said shaking his head. “I know you think you’re alone here, but you’re not.”“Yes I am Nick, Oliver can just walk away from this, and I will still have to deal with Detective Marks.”“No I think you are reading Oliver wrong, I don’t like the guy because he’s a war- he’s different, but I think you should give him a chance,” Nick said walking over to the window.
