Semua Bab Alpha Nikolai: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Celia’s POVI bit down hard on my lip, trying to keep the moan in. But as he pushed deeper, my resistance broke as I let out the moan, clenching the silk sheets tightly.“Look at me,” Nikolai said with a voice dripping with want.I forced my eyes open, meeting his intense gaze. The same eyes I’d caught earlier that night at the pack gathering. The ones that had made my breath catch because the Alpha, our Alpha, had actually been looking at me.He moved again, and another sound escaped my throat helplessly.“That’s it,” he murmured, sliding his hand up my thigh.I knew I shouldn’t be here. I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was nothing other than an orphaned omega who had spent her days scrubbing floors and taking orders. I didn’t belong anywhere near Nikolai Rydor’s bed, much less under him. But when he’d come up to me at the gathering, when he’d leaned close and asked me to follow him, I just couldn't say no. My whole life, I had been invisible. And suddenly, someone like him saw me.I

Nikolai’s POVI adjusted the plain cloak around my shoulders, keeping my head down while I moved through the crowd. The morning sun was scorching a bit higher than it should be for a morning sun.This had been something I’d started doing a few months back. Disguising myself as a trader or merchant and slipping into these border towns unannounced. It gave me a perspective I couldn’t get from pack reports and official channels. I could see how our commerce actually functioned, what traders said when they didn’t know the Alpha was listening, and where the weaknesses in our trade routes were.That day, I had joined a caravan of leather merchants heading to Bravemont. The traders thought I was just another handler hired to help transport goods. They talked freely around me, complaining about road conditions and tariffs, while gossiping about other packs.“You coming or what?” one of the traders had called back to me. I nodded and followed them toward the main market square where they were

"Move," his beta ordered me, forcing me into the carriage that held all of their purchases.I stepped forward, my hand tightly secured by Marcus's grip. The trinkets I had just bought, clinked in my bag. Perhaps, Nikolai would like them as a gift to himself.I kissed my teeth heatedly, mounting the ledge, as my foot wavered. I just had to hoist myself up and into the carriage.I grabbed onto the door, keeping my movements steady.'Fuck,' I cursed, realizing a moment too late, that it wasn't drilled into the ground.My foot swung off the ledge, and I was flung into midair. I flared my arms, grabbing handfuls of empty air to break my fall. But there was nothing.Jeez... the baby! My hand flew instinctively over the bump. With how high up I was, a back ache would be the least of my problems.But my back struck something solid. I wheeled around, and caught Nikolai's gaze. His arms were wrapped around me, almost completely shielding me from the fall.My wolf growled softly, recognizing hi

Nikolai's POV"The state of the Northern pack is in disarray. There has been a disorganized rearrangement of their distribution system..."I scribbled onto the paper, taking mental notes alongside. The pack's state had gone down, due to the recent increase in border rivalries. I needed to see to that."There are measures we can take to reduce the number of inter-pack disputes... I've written them down.""Great job! You did well, Alan! Have Marcus see me as regarding that." He beamed at my praises. He was my newly appointed secretary.Leah had bluntly refused to let a female run around here soiling the air with her wolf scent, claiming to be my secretary, and so we settled for Alan. And honestly he was more efficient than I'd supposed he'd be.Alan retreated, bowing curtly at the door. My wolf growled restlessly. She had picked up Celia's scent from the moment she woke up. I could hear her voice in my head urging me to 'pay her a visit'.She had never been able to rest ever since she'

Nikolai's POV:"She hit the baby." I had never feared those words as much as I did now. Ragnar's growls heightened with the sense of my mate's blood.Fuck. I shouldn't have let Leah out of my sight.I touched her forehead fearfully, but as expected she was burning hot. I scooped her into my arms, leaping through the branches and trees.That freaking omega! I found it hard to believe she'd throw away the life she had now to hurt my mate!Nobody dared touch Leah! I was her protector, and yet I'd let her be defiled by a wolfless omega!Mother and Fiona were right. After she birthed the child, she'd have to be executed for her crime of deserting the pack.Leah's lips muttered something quietly, as she tightened her wrists around my neck. I couldn't bear to look at her. Ragnar's pangs for Celia had overridden my judgement. I brought my ear to her lips, hoping to catch her words, but she was silent again.The line of the trees disappeared and I leapt to the ground, my wolf retracting. T
