Nikolai We hurried back into town and met up with the rest of the pack. /"What did you see?"/ I asked Marcus. /"I saw a demon luer a young woman into the shadows over there,"/ he started, nodding his head towards the alleyway between the two buildings. It was dark and foreboding. A natural spot for demons to lurk. From what we had seen so far, and from what Pete told us, Desdemona had recruited demons to hunt for her. It seemed odd she would rely on others to bring her sustenance instead of hunting herself. Could she be injured and recovering? She had been in purgatory for decades, and the archangels would have only given her enough sustenance to not die. Maybe she was too weak to hunt yet? /"When I snuck up to investigate, to see what he was doing to the girl, I noticed the second demon. They put the woman in a trance and one picked her up. They spoke little but did mention it was nice hunting her prey, torturing them before giving them to Desdemona and then feeding on the bodies
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.10: The Wedding
Yen There was a lot to do, this week which meant the days went by quickly. Far quicker than I wanted it to. I dreaded the weekend, when I would come face to face with Ron for the first time since our breakup. I really didn’t want to ever see him again. At least not at such an occasion of love and happiness. It would just remind me of the dreams and happiness that had once been in my own reach, and was heartlessly ripped away by his infidelity. Not to mention, I still didn’t know if I carried his child or Nikolai’s. Which made it all that much harder. Honestly, I wasn’t sure who I would rather have as the father: a cheater or a complete stranger I knew nothing about. I met Char and the other bridesmaids in the middle of the week for the final fitting of our bridesmaids’ dresses. Thankfully, that went smoothly. I wasn’t sure if I could have gracefully handled any hiccups now. When Friday came around, I took a much-needed day off. As per my request, Peter hadn’t booked any readings
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.11: Spilled Beans
Yennifer I hardly slept that night. Ron blew up my phone for several hours while I cried on my bathroom floor, snuggled up tight with Ragnar. Charlotte and Lucinda joined the chorus of calls and texts shortly after Ron started his barrage of messages. Which meant, he had gone to them and asked them about my pregnancy. Which wasn't what I wanted to happen. Today was about Lucinda. Not me. But the beans had been spilled anyway. While I hadn't been the one to say something and ruin Lucinda's wedding, I still felt as if I played some part in taking the spotlight away from her big day. I was afraid to read the messages from my two best friends. Afraid they would curse me out for my unannounced news. Or say I should have told them about it sooner. I hadn't wanted to say anything for a few reasons. One of them being the obvious: not wanting to ruin Lucinda's big day by drawing attention to myself. The other, I was still in the first trimester. My OBGYN had been blunt when she told me
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.12: The Estate
Yennifer “Ugh! I don’t want to go,” I huffed, talking out loud to myself the next morning. “I don’t know if involving Nikolai is the best option.” I knew I was trying to talk myself out of going. I was nervous and anxious as all get out. Nikolai was a virtual stranger. Which wasn’t doing my nerves any good. What if he reacted negatively to what I had to say? What if he demanded I get an abortion? What if he was married and I was a threat to his relationship and decided to murder me? My mind was running a mile a minute with realistic, and un-realistic, scenarios. Well, not that un-realistic thanks to the true crime documentaries I tended to watch and listen to. Nothing was impossible or improbable. Which was scary. Maybe going to Nikolai’s wasn’t the smartest thing. At least not by myself. I barely knew the guy. But that didn’t stop you from sleeping with him, my mind reminded me. Whatever! I’ll just let Pete know where I’m headed. I didn’t want to reach out to Char just yet
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.13: The Library
Yennifer I was way out of my league. Why did I ever think this was a good idea? I had stepped out of my truck and was staring up at the profoundly striking architecture of the De’Aubery Estate. I’d only seen a few small, grainy glimpses of the house in newspaper articles about the former tenants. Those pictures had not done this place justice. I knew Nikolai was the Russian millionaire. I’d connected the dots early on, and had kept it secret from my friends, unsure as to how they would react. Plus, I hadn’t ever meant to build any kind of relationship with him before I found out I was pregnant. What was I doing here? What would a Russian millionaire do with a pitifully poor American woman who had nothing to offer other than the burdens of a child? As I was about to scurry back into my truck and make a mad dash out of there, the glossy-painted black double doors—that did not fit in with the rest of the house—opened and Aaron stepped out. “Hi there,” he called out. “What can I he
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.14: Admission Of Love
YenniferA seriousness washed over his features."You're pregnant?" He clarified. Behind those stormy, grey-blue eyes, I saw him processing the news I just laid on him.I nodded."How long have you known?""About a week. I'm just under six weeks pregnant," I rambled, my gaze dropping from his as my heart rate picked up speed. I was waiting for his rejection. For him to tell me to get out and leave and never come back. I had no right to be here. I had no right to seek him out after our one-night stand without strings attached."Lapochka." The way he whispered the endearment made my heart skip a beat. His voice was deeper and filled with tenderness. He reached over and placed a hand over my worrying ones. The contact was both soothing and electrifying, which made no sense. My gaze flitted up to his, hope buried deep in my chest.It was strange how I never really cared what Ron thought. I never once worried ove
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.15: Decisions
YenniferI’m in love with you….His words rang through my mind. Over and over again.I was frozen, unsure how to respond.My heart rate increased. Though, not necessarily in a bad way.I wanted to be disturbed by his confession.Yet, I wasn’t.And I think I was more concerned by that than anything else.The helpless romantic in me was thrilled by this, while the rational side of me was throwing red warning flags.Love at first site wasn’t something that happened in the real world. Especially to women like me. It was only something that happened in my romance novels, I reminded myself.“I know it comes as a surprise, Yen, that someone could fall head over heels in love with you so quickly," Nikolai started, saying the quite parts out loud. "I know it isn’t something that usually happens.”“It doesn’t happen.” I snapped out of my daze, gently extracting my hand from his, knowing his touch would continue to distract me. I was so torn. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to run as far away
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.16: Put Down
Nikolai /“Well that went well.”/ Aaron teased as I stood on the porch, hands in my pockets, while I watched Yen drive away. Sure it had, I grumbled to myself. She was on the defensive. I moved far too quickly for her comfort. Normally, I didn’t fumble like that. With her, my senses were a jumbled mess. That was okay. I was sure, one day in the future when we were older, we would look back on this day and laugh about it. /“Don’t you need to get going?”/ Yuri asked. Yes, I did. Sighing heavily, I started stripping. I wasn’t looking forward to sleeping in the kennel again. Not when I was so close to my own damn bed. But I knew how much Yen needed the wolfdog in her life right now. She would be devastated if he disappeared. Not to mention, I would do anything for her even if it came at the cost of my own discomfort. I raced back to Yen’s house, praying she didn’t hightail it back. Luckily, I got back with a few minutes to spare. I laid down on the rug in the living room and proce

NikolaiI dutifully stayed there, nuzzling her and allowing her the space she needed to get it all out of her system. It took a good long while before her cries died down. I felt the exhaustion wash over her like a tidal wave and smelt the adrenaline crash. Her body slowly went limp as she drifted off into an exhausted slumber, leaning on the tub for support.I would wake her at some point, however right now all she needed was the chance to allow her mind to calm down and heal, and to help move past whatever demons were riding her hard. Only time could allow that to happen. And sleep would be more beneficial than anything else right now. I was afraid if I woke her up and tried to get her to bed, she would remain awake and allow her mind to continue to spiral.Shifting my body ever so carefully, I started softly licking at the open wounds that were still seeping on her thighs. The taste of her on my tongue was euphoric and made me w
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.30: Scars
*Trigger warning: This chapter contains a self harm scene. Readers be advised.*NikolaiI walked my Escalade, unsure if Yen would watch me or not.Aaron had been hiding in the far back of the vehicle so he could drive away and make it look like I had left, while I raced time to get back inside before Yen freaked out. It was hard playing both parts of a supportive baby daddy and a loyal wolf dog to the same woman.I also had Dimitri on standby. Due to his relation to me, we had similar colorings and he could pass off as Ragnar in a pinch if Yen had asked me to stay.All these necessary precautions taken because I had to keep Yen as far out of reach of the immortal world as possible. Plus, we weren’t ready for that revelation in our relationship yet.At least it was quiet out on the town tonight. The few wolves I had scouring the streets hadn’t reported anything being out of the ordin
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.29: The Ride Home
YenniferThe cogs in Ron’s mind turned before they clicked. “You’re the one-night stand? The other possible baby daddy?” He sounded incredulous, as if he couldn’t believe it.“Yes.” Was Nikolai’s rather aggressive, one word response.A multitude of emotions ran across Ron’s face before he turned up his nose, as he usually did when he was beat in an argument, and slammed his indifferent mask in place. Glowering past Nikolai to me he opened his mouth to speak. Before any words could come out, Nikolai moved so Ron’s view of me was blocked. “If you have something to say, you say it to me.”The threat was there, and while I should have been turned off by it, I wasn’t.Ron seemed to chew on his words before saying, “I’ll call you later, Yen.” And with that, he stalked off, got into his vehicle and sped away.There was a moment where Nikolai kept his back turned to me after Ron had taken off and I couldn’t help but wonder if he was contemplating his life’s choices. Seeing as how trouble kept

Yennifer“Yen, get back inside!” Ron ordered, following me out.“Leave me alone!” I threw back over my shoulder, marching away.“You are insufferable, woman! Do you know how embarrassed and ashamed I am right now because of you?”I tried not to let his words affect me, but they were starting to wear me down.Was I the problem?“I bought you a beautiful dress, took you out to a fantastic upscale restaurant, and this is how you repay me!? By throwing a temper tantrum over the food?”“It’s not the food that is the issue!” I snapped back, spinning around to face him. The audacity of this man!“It absolutely is!” He snapped back. “I was thinking about you and the child! You have to think about what you eat, Yen. From now until you give birth! You have to be healthy and strong for our child! And everyone in their right mind can take one look at you and know you aren’t healthy. Look at you!” he exclaimed, his gaze moving down my body almost in disgust. “You’re fat Yen. You aren’t eating righ
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch. 27: Dinner Disaster
NikolaiI wasn’t all that enthusiastic about Yen going out on a date with her ex.The man had broken her in more ways than she was willing to admit to. And, while he did have an eye for fashion, I could tell the dress wasn’t something Yen would have picked out for herself. Yes, she looked stunning in that dress, however Ron should have taken her preferences into account. He knew she wouldn’t feel comfortable in that dress. He knew she would feel far more vulnerable too, which was probably part of his scheme.I anxiously waited at the door for several minutes, trying to decide on what I should do before I made the rash decision to follow them. I needed eyes on her to know she was okay. I just had this gut feeling Ron was up to something.YenniferThe first few minutes of the ride started out well. We made idle chit-chat before the awkward silence descended on us after we ran out of ‘safe’ topics to talk about.Thankfully, Ron turned on some music.I was thankful when we arrived at the
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.26: Different Sides
Yennifer“So what’s the history between you and Nikolai?” I asked Pete the next day at lunch.His face pinched sourly. “Not much. Just acquaintances.” Was his short, and annoying reply.I wasn’t satisfied with that answer and knew there was more. Though, I wasn’t sure if prying was the right thing to do. So I decided to go with a different question. “Do I have to worry about him hurting me?”“No. Not intentionally,” Pete grumbled.“Why do you dislike him so much?”Pete sighed loudly, as if he was frustrated by this conversation, and pushed his half eaten food away. I wanted to feel bad, but I wanted to know what the beef was between these two more. It wouldn’t do for a best friend of mine to clash with a potential love interest.He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms and held my gaze as he contemplated his answer. “The best way I can describe it is: we are from different sides of the track.”“And who’s from the wrong side?” I teased, though genuinely curious.“That depends on w
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.25: Plans
YenniferI tried not to overthink how Nikolai knew where I worked.He didn't seem like a stalker, but I was a little uneasy about it.I didn't say anything to Pete, though I did ask him if he and Nikolai knew each other. Pete only said they were acquaintances. He wouldn’t say anything more on the subject, so I dropped it.The rest of the week went by without incident. The businesses were rather quiet. I had my regular clientele come in and a decent number of walk-ins, but it was noticeably slower.Friday afternoon, when I was on my lunch break, Ron called me.“Hello.” I answered, clipped. I was still upset about what happened earlier in the week.“Hi Yen,” Ron greeted sweetly, and I knew he was going to try to sweet talk me into forgiving him for what happened earlier this week.“What can I do for you?” I asked, not really wanting to talk with him right now. I wasn’t in the mood for any of this. I was tired, grumpy and the nausea hadn’t eased at all today. All I really wanted to do was
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.24: Intense
YenniferHis mouth descended on me with a vengeance. My legs were instantly weak and it took effort not to crumble at the intense pleasure coursing through my veins. Passionate heat coursed through me in waves at the sensational onslaught hijacking my mind and body.His tongue licked and lavished my freshly waxed pussy. I loved how I could feel the rough stubble on his face against my soft sex. The roughness of his tongue moving from slit to clit and back down again in a tantalizing pattern had my eyes nearly rolling into the back of my head. I gripped the edge of the counter hard enough my knuckles turned white.It was such an erotic feeling.His arms tightened around my thighs, his hands gripping my ass cheeks before gently slapping each one. Then, he fiercely pulled me flush against his mouth as he shook his head, scraping that stubble over the most sensitive parts of myself. I gasped at the sensations rocketing through my body. No one had ever eaten me out like this before. It had
A Fated Mishap with the Silver Wolf Ch.23: Challenge
Yennifer “Don’t threaten me with a good time, lapochka.” Nikolai’s growled response hit me in all the right places. My heart leapt in anticipation while my body responding immediately. The wonton passion swamping me was intenser than anything I had ever felt before. Which was incomprehensible. I knew my libido was high. I knew what I liked, even if I didn’t necessarily say the quiet parts out loud. I wasn’t sure what response I had been expecting from Nikolai, but it wasn’t that. With Ron, and my previous partners, they hadn’t been able to handle this kind of foreplay, even though it turned me on like nothing else could. Nikolai, however, understood the assignment. He didn’t wait. Grabbing both of my wrists, he pulled them above my head. Holding both of them in one of his hands, he dropped his other hand to my waist and walked me backwards with purpose until my back was pressed firmly against the wall. His lips descended on mine in a fiery kiss that was toe curling. With my
