As Roman walked down the hallway, he had a deep frown on his face. Jamie's question continued to resound in his head. Actually, he had noticed certain things about his grandfather.He would always get lost in his thoughts and he was easy to withdraw from conversations. Also, Bryce had been keeping to himself, a lot, lately which was unlike him. As Roman got to the door of his bedroom, he shook off those disturbing thoughts from his head. He decided to talk to his grandfather later on.Turning the doorknob, he walked into the bedroom, to see Nicole on the couch."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" He asked, with a frown on his face."I'm fine..." She answered, simply, folding her arms."Are you okay?" He asked, walking toward her and then sat beside her. He could read her expression and he knew she definitely was not fine."I feel like I'm useless here. Sleeping on the bed for a whole day doesn't make sense at all. I am the Luna now and I should perform my duties as one." She said, l
Immediately Nicole heard Roman's voice, she came to an abrupt stop. Her eyes widened as she almost stumbled."Ahhh..." She screamed as she tried to hold onto the wall. However, Roman was quick to catch hold of her by her waist.Slowly, he took her up in his arms carrying her toward the bed."That was so close." Nicole whispered, still with wide eyes. Her eyes shut immediately thinking of how she would have fallen heavily to the ground. She would have bruises all over."Are you so scared of a simple fall?" Roman asked, in a teasing tone. He then placed her on the bed, slowly."It's not just a simple fall!" She said, with pursed lips."Oh...you are a strong Werewolf, you shouldn't be scared of falling." He said, with a low chuckle."Then why did you catch me?" She asked back. "I didn't want you to fall." He said, quickly with a small smile on his face."Well, if you think I'm strong, you shouldn't have caught me then." She said, with a taunting smile on her face.Roman was silent for a
Immediately Nicole turned to see Jamie, she jumped up to her feet, "Jamie!" She screamed and dashed toward her.On the other hand, Jamie was quick to meet her halfway and then gave her a tight hug. A few seconds later, they broke the hug and then she said, "Is it weird to say I miss you, huh?" "Oh no! I missed you a lot." Nicole said, with a grin. However, the duo noticed that everyone had gone silent.The workers and maids all had their eyes on Nicole wondering why a Luna would run around that way.On the other hand, Roman was trying so hard to control his laughter while Jamie only held onto Nicole with a sheepish grin."Uhhh..." Nicole tried to say something but then the eyes on her were just too much. Immediately, she spotted Lucas who was a few feet behind Jamie."Hi, Lucas. You are here." She greeted him and then waved at him."Hello, ma'am." Lucas replied, with a small smile on his face.His eyes shone with appreciation once again, knowing she was the one who had saved him when
As Jamie fell forward, Lucas embraced her with a calm look on his face.His hands tightened around her as he patted her back. "You scared me!" She said, pulling away from him. Her eyes looked up at him, with tears in them and he swallowed.To Lucas, she didn't look like a person heading the mafia.She looked like a pure soul to him. "I'm sorry..." He apologized, in a low tone. Ever since Roman and Bryce left for the Pack, the two had gotten closer. They had to go on missions together and visit the base together.All in all, they did almost everything together. "It's okay," Jamie said and then stepped away from him.She felt a little conscious of herself at this point and then looked around the bedroom."What are you doing here?" She asked, with a confused look on her face. "I'm going back to the base, tomorrow," Lucas said, suddenly and Jamie frowned."Why?" She asked, immediately with a frown. Her eyes narrowed and she didn't like what he said one bit."Roman has asked me to go
"Lucas..." Jamie cried out, with her eyes shut and her mouth gaped open.Her thighs were quick to wrap around his waist and then she started to rub herself against him. On the other hand, Lucas let go of her boob with a loud pop. He then looked directly at her and whispered, "Look at me, baby." His eyes shone with emotion as he saw the intense want, on her face. Her eyes snapped open at his words and she looked directly at him. "Lucas..." She cried out again as she continued to rub against him, sensually. However, she wasn't getting the satisfaction she needed as his clothes were in between them. "You taste delicious, baby." He said, contrary to what she wanted. He then placed a kiss on her cheek. But that was not what she wanted.Swiftly, she placed her hand on his shirt and started to undo his buttons."Give it to me, please." She pleaded, in a desperate tone. In a few seconds, she was done with his buttons and she was quick to take his shirt off him. "I'm all yours..." He whi
There was a heavy silence between them as Roman continued to hold onto her tightly. He was dismayed as well as confused. He didn't know what to say to her, knowing the possibility of their children, not having mates was high. "What if it doesn't happen?" Roman asked, suddenly, holding onto her face.A tear leaked from Nicole's eyes and then she said, "What if it happens?" At her words, Roman went quiet and he swallowed. Also, to him, he never thought he would have a mate. The curse had been broken over him but then he wasn't sure if his children would share that privilege."What do you think we should do?" Nicole asked, with a frown, looking up at him. Her hands clutched his clothes, as she was desperate. "I'll think of what to do, Nic. First, we need to be sure that they would suffer the same fate." Roman tried to assure her. He then continued to say, "You shouldn't worry too much." He then placed a kiss on her cheek.Slowly, she nodded and rested her head on his chest and befo
"What mistake?" Roman asked as he walked into the study. His eyes were focused on Nicole who was seated, with a distraught look. "It's nothing!" She was quick to say and he raised his brows. He then started to look around, with a confused look on his face."What are the toys for?" He asked, confused and Nicole was quick to jump to her feet while Jamie stood behind. "It's nothing! I just bought them for fun!" She said, quickly. She had been eager to start her daycare but Jamie's words made her rethink."Are you sure?" Roman asked, with his brow arched. His hands were folded behind him and he looked from Nicole to Jamie."Care to tell me what's going on?" He asked, both of them. However, they were skeptical about telling him. There was silence between the trio for a moment and then Nicole sighed, dejectedly. Her eyes were downcast and she sat back down on the chair. "It's just that..." Nicole began to say. Her tone was low and on the other hand, Roman was ready to listen to her.He
Nicole had rushed out of the study, while Jamie had stayed back, promising Nicole to meet up later. "What's wrong?" Roman asked, with raised brows seeing the way his sister looked at him. He knew she was about to say something. "Uhmm." Jamie said, as she didn't know how to place her words. However, she was desperate to get answers to the questions bugging her mind. "When did Lucas leave?" She asked, finally with an expectant look on her face. "Oh! I made him leave early enough!" Roman asked, in a mysterious tone. His eyes searched her face for any distinctive expression. He could also hear how her heart beat wildly. He had his suspicions about what was going on but he didn't know how to confirm it. "Oh, you did?" Jamie asked and then glared at him for a moment. She realized that he was the one who didn't let her spend her morning moments with Lucas. "Oh, are you angry about that?" Roman asked, with raised brows. "No! Of course, not!" She yelled and then made to turn around.
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
