KNIGHT “Don’t make this difficult for yourself, Alpha Knight. You know we can still get to her without your help. Now, where’s your mate?” I was proved, had been questioned for almost an hour by the same man who went to the vineyards, and he hadn’t given up. Eloh must have been pressuring them to get to my mate. “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t know where she is?” I was telling the truth because I didn’t know where Zarah took her. “You can access and probe my brain. Go ahead. Like I told you a thousand times, I don’t know where she is. We can do it all day, and you will get the same answer.” “I know you are protecting your mate. That’s what we do, but if you continue resisting us—” “What? What are you going to do?” I didn’t like it when people threatened me. “Do you think I wanted this to happen? I was just happy when I found my mate, and then three days ago, she was wanted and treated by your people like a criminal, and now she’s gone. Are you threatening me? I’m co

NIRVANA“I’m going to Italy, but I’ll be back on Tuesday. You have everything you need, and please don’t burn my house down. Call the second number on that phone if there’s an emergency.”“Who’s number is this?”“Just in case of emergency.”I shrugged. “Three days, huh? You miss the Lycan King.”“Don’t ever attempt to get out of this house.” She retained her calm demeanor and looked at me as if she read my mind that I might try.“How could I? You blocked every hole in this house with your mojo.” I rolled my eyes. “Is there a trigger or something—”“What did I just tell you?” She sounded more like a mother than a witch who saved my life many times than I could count. “The study is open. I suggest you read books, but don’t touch the Grimoire.”“Why not?”Irritated with my inquiry, she shook her head.“I know I’m a pain in your ass, but my mother was a witch. Maybe something inside my brain can make a certain spell work.”“Don’t even try. I’ll see you soon.” That was it. She had just wal

NIRVANA I was quick on my feet when a car parked beside the road. My instinct told me to run, and I walked faster away from the vehicle. It was thirty minutes since I last talked to Kain, and he hadn’t called me back. “Nirvana!” I sucked in a breath as I stopped. I became the person I didn’t recognize anymore as paranoia and cynicism sank in my head. I felt terrified, in pain and sorrow these days. I couldn’t remember feeling safe, even in a room with a locked door. “Nirvana, it’s Kain.” I heard him following me, and that voice was the same voice I heard in Inverness and over the phone. I turned around, and it was Kain, the very same man we found outside the pub. I ran and threw myself at him. I never felt so relieved that I cried in his arms, and he gave me a bear hug, patting my back. “Hey. It’s going to be okay. I drove here as fast as I could.” “Thank you.” All I could say was as I pulled away, wiping my tears. “Let’s get you in the car,” he said, opening the door to the p

NIRVANA “No matter how important it is, it can’t wait.” His tone was irritated. He was hard, his cock almost straight between his thighs, veins protruding, precum glistening. “But—” “For fuck’s sake, Nirvana. It can wait, and no buts even if the world ends in an hour. I need to be inside you.” He glared at me with fury blazing in his eyes. Pissed off, and the horny alpha looked good on him. He looked hot, and I was melting with the intensity of his gaze. “Fine. I fucking badly want you too.” My admission made his eyes glitter dangerously. I lied in bed, opened my legs apart and placed my hand on my pussy, and started pleasuring myself. I sucked in a breath as my finger touched my sensitive tingling clit. My mouth went dry as I imagined I was licking the tip of his cock with a bead of precum in it. “Fuck.” All he could do was stared down, grabbed his dick, and started stroking himself. His eyes darkened, his muscles flexing. When a moan slipped from my lips, he cursed under his

NIRVANA “Let’s get married, sweetheart.” It still echoed in my ears. It shocked me. Gaping, I waited until he took it back, but it didn’t happen. “I’m sure Sebastien has connections to process our documents.” “You want a civil wedding?” “Yeah. I want to do it right with proper documentation.” I held his hands. They were cold. “Baby, are you nervous?” “Yeah. I’m afraid you might disagree.” “We’re getting married in the States. Period. And yes, let’s get married today or tomorrow. Whenever we can.” He kissed me again so badly his hands shook. I placed my hands on his, moved my lips, and instantly melted against him. *** I watched him take off his shirt. His majestic abs were on full display, and I itched in anticipation of feeling those ripples of hard muscles against my fingertips. “I have to go out for a run.” “Do you know this territory? Shouldn’t we be avoiding running into someone or another werewolf?” “I’ll be fine.” He worked on pulling down the sweatpants, not cari
