Ed Nygma Gotham Novels & Stories

Nyx's Pov Alden kept his eyes on the road, and I leaned back slightly, wondering what he had to do with me. He had found me even before I was able to find him. Alden Black Lombardi. A ruthless mafia lord who killed with cruelty and didn't care about anything else other than what he wanted to do. Gary was supposed to lead me to him, but instead, he was killed and I was captured by this guy instead. So, obviously there was going to be a change of plans.

Getting dragged away from the area, I cringed, hearing the hacking sound and muffled gurgling scream that came from Mister Smith. “That's a pretty brutal thing to do over not getting paid,” I commented. The Alpha huffed and said,” We rely on funds to keep us alive so Miss it is very essential,” Giving him a raised brow, I asked him if my ransom would help them live because I was certain that it would cause his death, making him jerk me to a stop. “Who are you,” he demanded sternly. “I'm Athena Blackstone, the daughter of Derek and Gwen Blackstone and the mate of the Lycan King Gavin Montgomery,” I stated firmly and watched his eyes narrow at me.

“Looks like we’re eating wolf meat tonight.” The adults looked at one another and stared at the boy’s expensive belongings. The brooch that bore the Nyth family’s insignia was plastered in his suit. And they thought for a moment it was fake. You see, the Midnight Legion pack that resides in the Black City do not know much about the family of their Alphas. The Nyth family was very private, that sometimes, others doubt if the Alpha had sons at all. The only son they knew was the infamous and ruthless soon-to-be Alpha, Ajax Nyth.

His desperate howls rang through the dungeon. Angelina came to me immediately after she left the dungeon. She sat across from me with an obsequious smile. "I can give you the ledger for all of the Passinis' core businesses, along with everything my Padre runs, Signora Valerini." "What do you want in return?" I asked apathetically, lounging on the couch and toying with a handgun. "I want out of this city and five million dollars to start over," she answered, her eyes burning with greed.

A smile washes over my face as his rough voice floods the space, and I can just imagine his tired, haggard face. “Because not only are you the weapons manufacturer,” he continues, “you’re also a Nero. And you’ve managed to bag the only other Nero in the galaxy they know about. I think you could stand to learn a little humility, Nova.” “Slag, Edan, you’re alive!” I say, relief flooding through me. “Are the others okay?” “What the void, Nova?” Zayne’s voice speaks through the overhead sound system. “You can’t just go and disappear like that and then make a major outing on The Black Hole of Truth. Are you trying to give everyone a slam heart attack?”

Unsurprisingly, Alpha Romano ignored my question. He had Nigel drive me back to the mansion while he rode in the second car. Through the drive back, Nigel was quiet, and so was I. He was a part of the mafia and had seen what his Alpha Don did to me. I was visibly shaken after watching the women get picked up by men who had the highest amount to pay for them. “Are you alright, Luna?” I heard Nigel ask. It was then I realized I had been crying. Wiping away the tears furiously, I turned my head to the window so he couldn't see my face from the rear view mirror.

"...she has made me wait long enough." He disappeared and I gasped. Just how many wolves had magic One heartbeat he stood beyond the gate. The next he was inside the city walls, only a few yards away. Standing directly in front of us and before anyone could react he reached toward me and grabbed my throat. Nyra !!!! Was all I heard as my vision went black

My body grew cold as I saw my mother lying in a pool of blood with a white piece of paper attached to her scarf. Gotham took the paper and started to read out the content, "A gift~"

With a thoughtful smile, she ordered the servant, “Bring out some cashew nuts and almonds.” Little Tally cheered, “Almonds!” It was too late for Naya to say no as a small plate of almonds appeared before her. Gabriel scratched the back of his head while saying, “Enjoy.” Naya stared at the nuts then looked at the people of the Onyx Pack who only had ten members. The strange feeling she had earlier slowly returned, making her gaze soften slightly. The mainland that she thought was full of atrocities… Perhaps, not all of them were like the Crimson Stone Pack and West Wood Pack…

"He is only as safe as your heartbeat, Elena. But tonight, we don't want his life. We want the girl’s Potential." She pointed at the altar. "Place her there. She must spill the shadow-blood to open the gate. The Abyss is hungry for its Queen." "No," I stepped in front of Nyx. "That wasn't the deal. You said she was just to come here!" "The deal is whatever I say it is!" the witch roared. Suddenly, the trees behind us exploded. BOOM. A massive, golden wolf—larger than any I had ever seen—burst through the brush, followed by a dozen elite warriors of the Blackwood pack.
