"Calm down! Roman." Bryce said as he watched Roman pace around the room. His face was troubled and at that moment, he felt useless.

"I can't be calm, grandfather." Roman said and then closed his eyes.

Slowly, he walked toward the bed and sat on it. His days on that bed were horrible.

They were still in the little cottage as they didn't know where Nicole had been taken to. They couldn't alert the guards to look for her as they knew Genevieve was way beyond the guard's comprehension.

There was silence for a few minutes and Roman looked at Nate who had been standing by the window. He had been there for minutes, looking into the darkness.

Roman didn't know what to feel about Nate. However, at this point, he knew better that there was nothing going on between Nate and Nicole.

Genevieve had hinted a few times that everything was a setup. He couldn't even comprehend how she had done it. He felt stupid for being swayed.

Stopping all these thoughts in his head, Roman knew that only Nate could

The veins on his head bulged.Bryce was rooted to the spot while Nate had a confused look on his face."This is not happening..." Roman said, again and then moved closer to the body. Nicole's eyes were opened and he could see the anguish in them. That was what she felt before dying."I'm sorry!" Roman said, and fell to his knees. His body trembled and he felt like countless knives were piercing his heart.As he tried to touch her body, his hands shook greatly. He couldn't even bear to touch her.However, a few seconds later, he touched her and he felt how cold her body was."I'm sorry, baby." He said, holding onto her hand. His eyes were red but there wasn't a single drop of tears. However, his heart was bleeding."I brought you into this mess, forgive me." He said. He started to think that if he didn't bring her back to his Pack, she wouldn't encounter trouble. She wouldn't encounter Genevieve."I'm sorry fo

    "What do we do now, Nate?" Roman asked. Deep down in his mind, he wanted to rush into the house and get Nicole out, if she was actually there.However, he knew things were much more complicated than that. On the other hand, Nate stared unwaveringly at the house. There was a frown on his face but then he knew Genevieve wasn't in the house. That meant that Nicole was also not in the house.However, Nate had anticipated that."We need to go in."

    As Genevieve's voice boomed in the air, the trip froze as they looked all around. However, they couldn't spot her."Show yourself, Genevieve." Roman thundered. He was becoming too impatient. He just wanted to find his Nicole."Oh, dear Roman. I see you are here, mate." Genevieve said, her voice containing a tinge of amusement.Roman cringed due to the way she called him mate. At this point, he detested the idea of being a mate to someone. Slowly, a dark light started to form before them, and before they knew it, she was standing before them in a black dress and a veil covering her face."It's good to see you all, again." She said, like an amicable hostess.Immediately, Nate snorted as he tried to feel the energy in the air. He wanted to know if Nicole was close by. In the next second, he could feel a faint energy belonging to Nicole. At this point, he knew they didn't have much time.The trio looked around but they couldn't spot any traces of Nicole.

    There was loud cackling in the air and Genevieve stood above Roman who had fallen onto his knees. She had a sword stained with Roman's blood, in hand. Her dress was torn and parts of her pale skin were visible.On the other hand, Nate and Bryce were nowhere to be seen.Nicole and Roman were now left to face Genevieve, together."W..what did you do?" Nicole cried out as she saw blood dripping down Roman's neck. His face was turning pale due to blood loss."Oh, you are awake!" Genevieve said with a smile."I guess the ritual worked then!" She added. It turned out that alongside capturing Nicole, she had been performing a series of witchcraft experiments on Nicole.Genevieve had originally taken a vial of Roman's blood. She had planned for Roman to mark Nicole and then she would break the bond using the blood bond she had created using their blood.That was how Roman's blood was effective on Nicole."You are not going to get what you want, Genevieve!" Nicole said, through gritted teeth.

In the next second, she stretched her hands and dark light shot out from her fingers.Nicole moved to the side quickly, however, she was still hit by the light from one finger. "Ahhhh..."

    It had been days and Nicole had been in deep sleep.Her body was wrapped in thick bandages as she lay on the king-sized bed.Roman was seen pacing around the bedroom while the Pack's healer attended to her."Any complications?" Roman asked as soon as the healer started to pack up his things."No complications." The healer said, going to stand before Roman."Then why is she not awake?" Roman asked, with worry written all over his face.He knew Nicole had a wolf now and she was supposed to heal faster.He didn't know what was happening."How have you been treating her?" He tried to ask because most members of the Pack still thought of her as human."I have been administering normal human treatment. Things should get better soon." The healer said.At this point, Roman realized the healer was getting things all wrong."She is not human!" He said, surprising and confusing the healer at the same time."What do you mean?" The healer asked, with a frown on his face."I mean she is a Werewolf!

He was about to mind-link the guards to get the healer but then he saw her moving. "What do you want?" He asked, holding onto her. He didn't want to hold on too tightly because of her wounds."W...a..." Nicole tried to say but it was hard forming a word. Her lips were cracked and her throat felt clogged. The bandage around her body was too uncomfortable and her brain had been dormant for days. "You need water?"

    As she continued to push against him, Roman held her close.His hold around her waist tightened and his hand found its way into her hair."Let it out! However, you want." He said as he endured her hits and pinches. After a minute, Nicole started to calm down. However, her lips trembled and her sobs increased.A torrent of tears ran down her eyes and yelled, "Why?!" She said. She had been acting really strong and she endured all the blame, pain, and accusations thrown toward her."I'm sorry!" Roman said and that was all he could say. His eyes were red and somehow he could feel Nicole's pain. His brows furrowed for a second as he tried to reason what was happening.

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."

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!"

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.

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!"

    "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.

    "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?"
