To my dismay, I didn't find Nicholas because as soon as the match ended, Lucas escorted me back to his car.We sped home without either of us saying a word. The silence sat heavy between us, thick enough that I could hear my own pulse in my ears. I stared out the window, watching the forest blur into darkness, and wondered if he could hear my heart beat from where he sat.Before I knew it, I was back in the dusty palace, waiting to be saved like some helpless damsel.I dropped onto the bed and watched the ceiling, feeling the seconds tick by and drag out like a snail crossing the pavement. Every creak of the old building made my chest tighten. I kept replaying the match in my head, the roar of the crowd, the look on Lucas's face when it ended, anything to keep my mind off how alone I felt.I was drifting into sleep when there was a low knock on my door.I expected Naomi. Instead I found Alec on the other side, and for a second my brain refused to catch up with what my eyes were seeing

Nicholas POVI know it. I'm being unreasonable. I know it deep down.I'm asking too much of her.Michelle Meyers isn't a simple woman.The first time I saw her, I knew that.The way she challenged me despite being an Omega told me everything I needed to know.

The people who had terrorized our pack and killed his best friend had finally met justice.I, on the other hand, was just relieved this whole nightmare was over.That finally, after everything, I could just sit and breathe.Nicholas was sitting beside me on a large rock in the middle of the forest while pack members carried the bodies away.“So,” I said slowly, “you think we'll finally catch a break?”Nicholas smiled, shaking his head as he looked down.“Honestly, I have no idea.”“Well, I'm praying we do, because I can't take another adventure. I'm all out of one-liners and dark humor.”Nicholas laughed softly before turning toward me.“You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize there's so much about you I don't know. But I want to find out everything.”I smirked.“That's a bit ambitious.”He winked.“Yeah, but it's a challenge I'm willing to take.”I laughed softly before resting my head on
