Bryce, who had frozen due to shock, turned around to look at Roman."What about them?" He asked. However, it wasn't a secret that Bryce had taken over the mafia through a series of actions and violence."They attacked the base." Roman said, and then proceeded to walk toward Bryce."That old man is still alive?" Bryce said, in surprise. However, a creepy smile crept onto his face.He could remember how he had turned everyone against the head of the mafia at that time. But then Bryce didn't regret his actions one bit. At that time, he had arrived in the human world, to take refuge.However, he couldn't just stay idle. As a wolf, he liked to be in control and be territorial.The only thing he opted to do was take over the mafia.Also, he didn't feel guilty as the Vyrons ruled with a cruel mind. Roman had been standing a few feets away from Bryce and he watched the varying expressions on his grandfather's face."Do you have any information on them?" Bryce asked as his eyes shone with a
"You weren't ready for that, were you?" Roman asked, with a wry smile on his face. He wanted to stay and relish his grandfather's expression but then he needed to find Jamie.In the next second, he walked out of the door. For a moment, he felt guilty that he had left Bryce in a messed up state, but then Bryce had it coming for him.As Roman walked down the hallway, he tried to locate Jamie but she was nowhere to be found.___On one side of the mansion, Jamie was standing close to the floor to ceiling window, overlooking the dense forest just behind the mansion.Her heart lurched in her chest and she didn't know whether to count Roman, leaving, as a betrayal.However, she knew he wasn't at fault.She realized she should have suspected something was going on. Ever since they saw the strange letter that Nicole could read.She should have suspected that he was called upon by his Pack. With a sigh through her lips, she shut her eyes as she tried to fight her tears from falling."I'm not
With a big smile on her face, Jamie followed after Nicole. However, there was still a nagging feeling in her heart. Shifting was a foreign thing to her and she didn't think it was going to happen."Are you sure about this?" Jamie asked as she started to wonder how Nicole was going to run with her.She didn't know Nicole had a wolf now. She thought she was just an ordinary human."Sure..." Nicole answered simply. Also, she was trying to mind-link Roman to inform him about what she wanted to do. She had never tried to mind-link a person, so it was surreal.In her mind, she tried to call onto Roman. However, it didn't work for the first time. It felt like she was going through a block."Do it again." Kyra said, in her head. While leading. "Roman..." Nicole called out again, through the mind-link, following her wolf's orders."Nicole?" Roman's voice came through and a smile slipped onto Nicole's face."Are you okay? Where are you? Have you seen Jamie?" Roman asked, in one breath. Though
Roman continued to place soft kisses on the crook of her neck while Nicole gasped. She gasped due to his touches and also, due to his words.Though she loved Roman, she had not thought about the idea of marking. She knew what a mark meant as her father had made sure to educate her on things about the Werewolves."Please..." Roman pleaded, in a seductive tone. His voice caused shivers to run down her spine and she held onto him for dear life.At this point, she was at a crossroad. She didn't know if she was ready to handle all the raving emotions caused by the mate bond."Hmmm." Nicole moaned suddenly, as Roman started to rub his shaft against her wet entrance.Her eyes rolled as he continued to tease her and fingers dug into his skin. "Make love to me, Roman." Nicole said, in a tone filled with intense desire. Her legs immediately wrapped around Roman's waist and she drew him closer.The tip of his rod slipped in and he felt like he was going crazy.Nicole did things to him like no o
Nicole was dumbfounded at Jamie's words. Her heart was beating really fast and she couldn't make any sense of the dream she had.She couldn't think of anyone who would want to harm her. Also, she doesn't know any lady who would be a witch like the one she saw in her dream."Are you okay?" Jamie asked, as a frown started to form on her face. She could hear Nicole's fast beating heart and she knew something was wrong."I had a dream..." Nicole said, in a low tone. "Where's Roman?" She asked and tried to cover herself up.She wasn't shy of staying naked before Jamie but then she felt an overwhelming sense of chill."He is with the elders. You all will be leaving by nighttime." Jamie said, with a small smile on her face. However, her eyes depicted the sadness she felt."Alright." Nicole said, not detecting Jamie's hidden emotions. She was still confused about the dream she just had.In the next second, she stood up and didn't wound the sheets around her in time."Wow! You both had a real
"What! Why would I back out now?" Nicole asked, through the mind-link. Her eyes were narrowed as she looked through the window. They were already high up in the air and she didn't know if she would have to jump out if she decided to back out."You're obviously not ready to become Luna. The dream you had, do you realize how weak and pathetic you were? You were wolfless." Nate said and Nicole stilled.It was true! She could recall how weak she was and also, she was wolfless. A wolfless person couldn't be any more weak. "But I have my wolf now!" She said, in an irritated tone. For some reason, Nicole didn't want to agree to the fact that she was weak. "You can still lose it, later on." Nate said, in a taunting tone.Nicole then realized that he was right. The fact that she had that dream could as well mean that she could lose her wolf and she would be captured.But who would want to do that to her?"Are you ready to back out? If you just say the word, I'll send you back to the human wo
As soon as Nicole was introduced as the future Luna, there was a deafening silence and she turned nervous.Her hands clenched into fists and Roman wound his hand around her.Someone, she hated Roman's actions as everyone would see her as someone who could only be relevant in his presence."Welcome, Luna." One of the Pack members suddenly said and the others started to welcome Nicole as well.Though she knew their welcome greetings to her were just on the surface, a smile crept onto her face and she waved at them. Looking at them, she realized that she couldn't spot anyone ridden with old age within them. They usually stopped aging but then the older Werewolves aren't as strong as the young ones.In the next second, Roman and Nicole continued to descend the plane while she maintained a smile on her face. On the other hand, Roman had a cold look on his face. As soon as they descended the plane, they were led toward the Pack's mansion with the elders trailing behind.As they were about t
Immediately Nicole's voice rang out, Roman's eyes widened in horror and immediately, he pushed Genevieve away. Her body swayed heavily and in the next second, she landed on the hard floor with a loud thud."Nicole! This is not true." Roman said, immediately as he started to walk toward Nicole. His face was filled with worry, regret, and anger. But then she couldn't take out the image of Genevieve kissing Roman out of her mind."I..." Nicole tried to find words to say but then her eyes turned cloudy. Tears started to pour down her eyes and she continued to step back, trying to distance herself from Roman."I'm sorry." He apologized, and immediately he took a large stride toward her and caught her by the hand."Tch..." They heard Genevieve snort, however, Roman didn't care to look at her. But then Nicole was curious to know what was going on in Genevieve's head. Her eyes were trailed on her lover's mate and her heart clenched in pain."An Alpha doesn't apologize, mate." Genevieve said,
After Mrs Liu had dispersed the substance into Nicole's body, Nicole hasn't stopped from proclaiming that she isn't mated to Roman and likewise wasn't meant to be his Luna.She had left the healer's quarter without his knowledge since he wasn't back yet, with the thought that she'd wake up after a long time.As soon as she left the quarter, the way she behaved made every one who saw her assume she had run mad again. It was looking more like a psychiatric patient who had luckily escaped her prison."Who said I am mated to Roman?" She scoffed. "I don't like him, I don't fancy any thing about him. Why on earth would you think I would want him as a mate? Well, I ain't interested in any of that, and I don't want to be his so-called Luna, okay?! That shit should go to hell as well."Some guards had tried to stop her and take her back to the healer's quarters but she insisted. "Don't you even touch me or I'll strangle your neck to hell." She threatened."I don't need Roman. I don't want his
Nicole was standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, in Roman's study. There was a bottle of wine in her hand and her eyes were red.Her face was pale and she looked like she would pass out any moment from now. "Luna!" Zarius suddenly called out from behind as he walked into the study. His eyes were filled with so much worry for her. However, he didn't get a response from her, as she was lost in thought. "Luna!" He called out again as he moved closer to her. A few seconds later, she turned to look at him, with raised brows. "You are needed at the daycare!" Zarius said, with a serious look. "I'll be there!" Nicole answered coldly and then turned to look back at the window. For days she had been shuffling between the bedroom and Roman's study. She also tried desperately to avoid her parentsZarius stood there for a few more seconds. Slowly, he then turned around to leave but he halted his steps when he heard her voice. "Where are my parents?" She asked and at this point, she
The meeting room went into a pin-drop silence as Scar lay on the floor, with blood oozing out of his head continuously. However, the others weren't fazed. It wasn't the first time they had seen such a level of killing. As soon as they heard Roman's question, they spoke up, "No Boss!" Their voice was chorused and there was obvious fear and respect in their eyes for Roman. "Let's proceed!" Roman ordered as he sat back down on his chair. Immediately, Lucas proceeded with his informal presentation, "The import of goods has been on the low as Azazel has taken over half of the market!" He said. As he continued to say what had been happening in Roman's absence, Roman felt uneasy in his seat. His hands were clenched into tight fists. Everything his grandfather had worked for, was slowly crumbling. Minutes passed and Lucas was done talking. He looked up at Roman, waiting for his next order. "What information do you have about Azazel and his organization?" Roman asked, with a serious lo
Roman and Jamie drove speedily into the Salvatore mansion. He had a fierce expression on his face while Jamie had a big smile on her face.There was a row of men dressed in black, standing before the mansion's entrance. Immediately the car stopped, and one of the men rushed forward and opened the car door for Roman. "Welcome, Boss!" He greeted him with a deep bow. His voice was filled with so much enthusiasm and immediately Roman stepped out. The men all bowed, "Welcome back, Boss!" They chorused, in a loud and respectful tone. They had missed the era of Roman as the mafia head. Even though they were happy to see him, they kept on stoic faces.On the other hand, Roman was filled with so much nostalgia and he felt like he was home.He felt more at home here than in the Pack."Where is Lucas?" He asked, in a cold tone as he looked all around. On the other hand, Lucas had stealthily walked toward Jamie's side of the door."Welcome!" He greeted her, with a slight smile on his face.
An hour passed and Nicole was before her parents' ward. She was absolutely not ready to see them but then she couldn't avoid them. For a moment, she started to sympathize with her mother for her injury. But then she was stable now and she started to think why Roman would just suddenly attack her mother. She couldn't fathom what reason he would have.He had the power to kill them off a long time ago but then he didn't. All because of the love he had for her. "Do you want to go in, now?" Zarius asked from behind.He was diligent in looking after her as it was Roman's most important instruction to him. "Yes." Nicole answered, with a shake of her fingers.Her lips quivered as she took a step forward and swiftly, she turned the doorknob shakily.As she walked in, she spotted her mother laying on the bed, with a smile on her face.She looked rosy and not like someone who had been injured.As she took another step into the ward, she glanced at her father. He had a serious expression on
Nicole opened her eyes with a start and she felt a stabbing pain in the back of her head. Her eyes were as clear as day but then her head was in a mushy state.She couldn't remember what had happened the night before. The rays of the morning sun shone through the windows, as Nicole continued to reel on what had happened. A few seconds later, the scenes of last night started to flood in her head. Her eyes widened in shock as she remembered what she had done.Immediately, she shot up to her feet as her heart thudded in her chest.Last night, while Roman was in the study after Nate left, Nicole had gone to see her parents. There she found her mother bleeding from her stomach. Without thinking twice, she had rushed back to the room to look for Roman, however, he wasn't there. She was livid and it felt like she was going to kill Roman. She was overwhelmed by an emotion she didn't recognize. "Roman!" Nicole yelled, with fear in her eyes as she dashed into the bathroom to look for him
"Shit!" Roman cussed as Nicole dashed toward him with a crazed expression. Her fingers were lengthened and before long, she was before him.She stretched her hand in a bid to attack him but he was quick to hold onto her. "Ahhh!" She screamed as she tried to get hold of his neck. Her eyes were red and it was like she had been possessed. Her real self was locked deep within her mind."Nicole!" Roman yelled as he held onto her tightly. He used most of his strength to restrain her as she was unimaginably strong. He was trying to bring her back by yelling her name but then it wasn't working."How dare you!" She yelled as she struggled against him. The indignant feeling in her eyes was strong.At this point, Roman knew she was going crazy about something."What are you saying, Nicole?" Roman asked as his grip started to loosen around her. Swiftly, she took hold of the opportunity and dragged herself out of his hold. Their hands struggled and Nicole jumped, with so much force. She toppl
"What do you mean?" Roman asked, with a frown on his face. His brows were scrunched up, in confusion. Immediately, he moved closer to Nicole and sat beside her.Taking hold of her hand, he could see how pale her skin was and he was filled with worry. "She is being controlled!" Nate said but then his tone was filled with uncertainty. His eyes were narrowed and in the next second, he folded his arms."What do you mean she is being controlled? She has a mind of her own." Roman said but then he wasn't even a hundred percent sure about his words. He had also noticed that she wasn't herself. "Yes! She does but it doesn't seem so." Nate replied. "Can you find out who is controlling her? Or is she feigning it?" Roman asked. He started to think in all directions, not knowing what to do. At his words, Nate sighed and then said, "Unfortunately, no. I can't even find a trace of any unfamiliar energy." He replied. Hearing Nate's words, Roman frowned. He started to wonder how the seer had fou
"What do you want?" She asked, immediately, with an indignant look. On the other hand, Roman was greatly surprised to see her in the bedroom. He was damn sure she had been in the study a while ago."Did you leave the bedroom?" He asked, with a frown on his face, ignoring her question."What do you mean? I never left! You want me to leave now?" She asked, and then crossed her arms. Her eyes shone with defiance and she was ready to refute anything he says."What?! No! I don't want that!" He said and then took a step back. He wanted to see if she was really fine but then he didn't see anything wrong."Maybe I was seeing things!" He said to himself and was about to turn around. He still could sense a different energy coming from her and he wasn't about to have a brawl with her. As he took a step forward, Nicole's voice rang out, "When are you releasing my parents?" Her eyes were filled with so much authority and her tone was fierce. It wasn't like she was asking him to, she was demandi
