Nicolette's POVI look up and see Malcom staring at us."It's a friendly hug, he told me about his mate," I tell him. He nods and walks away. I back away from him and wipe the tears off of his face."You'll find someone," I smile lightly. "It just won't be me." He nods wipes the rest of his tears off of his face."I probably look so unmanly," he chuckles standing up. He puts his hand out and I grab it and pull myself up onto my feet."You don't want me Lucas. I've made such a mess of my life that I can't even look to find where I should start to clean it up. I'm so broken the no broom would be enough to sweep it all up," I lightly smile."You're in luck because I know who can fix you," he said. I roll my eyes because I literally just told him that I can't be the person he picks."I told you n-.""Malcom," he cuts me off. I looked at him with confusion. "He's broken too. They say that something needs to become more broken before it can be fixed. Nicole, he's the broken that's gonna make

Nicolette's POVI woke up two hours later and slipped out before Malcom could stop me. It was 6 now and I thought the royal guards were in physical therapy now. I put a wall between our link and made my way to the building.This would take a lot of energy from me but I needed the royal guards to help on the 30th. I had lost a lot of precious time and needed to start planning now. Whoever planned this know that my last day is the 30th and that is the last chance they have before I may disappear from the world, I haven't decided if I would stay or leave yet.If I were to be logical, I should stay. I have my mate's mark on my neck and if I leave, my wolf would become depressed eventually. If I stay, I would be seen as an unfit ruler. I'm more witch than werewolf and also being a vampire may cause conflict. So, I haven't decided yet.I walked in silently and saw all of the royal guards doing the exact same thing they were doing the other day, like clockwork. I spotted the wolf I healed the

He asked slowly as if he already knew the answer but wanted to hear it from her. A stray tear created a stream down her face that led the other tears follow through the path the first tear made."T-the dark magic showed me that I was going to die. I saw a woman there but she had no face. There was one face that I recognized though, Henry," she said. He could feel her fear in the room, not only through their link. She always spoke about how she wanted to die, but now that she is going to die, reality set."I'm scared," she whimpers. She let down her walls and let Malcom in. She let him comfort her because for once she didn't know what to do. She had grown to love the pack she once resented. She had loved a pack she only knew a select amount of people and a few places, but she felt the need to protect all of

⚠️ Sensitive Topics⚠️Third Person POVNicolette found it weird that they had both disappeared and Malcom didn't have a clue of what they were doing. We walked back to his house in silence. The sun was starting to set and the blue sky turned into a orange and yellow mess.As we got closer to his house, Nicolette sensed a familiar presence but she knew he wasn't supposed to be here. She sees Beck arriving at the front door of Malcom's house."Beck? What are you doing here?" She calls out to him. A smile was plastered on his face as he turned and saw her. He ran up to Nicolette and pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him but then a low growl was heard through the silence."He marked you," Beck whispers into Nicolette's ear. She nod and he backs up a bit, not wanting to cause any trouble with the Alpha King. "I was told to come here but I don't know why. I assumed it was you but I don't think you knew I was supposed to come." Nicolette glances up at Malcom and he shrugs.He

She found the crackling calming while she thought about tomorrow.She felt like there should be more of a plan than going in blindly. Was she prepared? Did she think this fight through? Nicolette already knows what is going to happen, they made sure of that.When the dark magic infested her, it showed her an scene. She hadn't told Malcom about this 'vision' but she knew it was bad.
