"Are you ready?" Nate asked, with a small frown on his face.He already had an inkling of what to expect in the council meeting. The fact that he was supposedly entangled with Nicole was a big deal. However, he knew she would take most of the brunt instead. "Yes..." Nicole said, looking down to see she was dressed in a short summer dress. She wondered who had changed her clothes from Nate's. She then chastised herself for failing to notice this change."Don't worry, the servant took care of you." Bryce said, noticing her dilemma. At his words, Nicole let out a small sigh of relief and immediately she stood from the bed. However, she was careful not to use her right hand for anything.As soon as her feet touched the ground, she was a bit wobbly but then she was quick to stabilize herself.On the other hand, Bryce followed every one of her movements. He was worried about Roman but deep down in his mind, he reasoned that only Nicole could fish out Roman. It wasn't that he liked her t
"What?" One of the elders let out a surprised tone. His hands immediately moved to take some of the photos.Soon, the photos were spread around and almost all the elders had a look of disgust on their faces. However, Zarius who had been silent looked at Nicole with an unreadable expression on his face.On the other hand, Nicole wasn't bothered outwardly, however, her heart was beating wildly and Zarius could sense it.The photos ended up in Bryce's hands and he took a fleeting glance at them.He then threw the photos on the table and Nicole was able to see the content. Her face changed immediately and her heart broke. Her eyes were glued on Roman who was in one of the photos. At that time, he had not shaken her awake. She could see the disappointed and pained expression on his face. At this point, she knew she had let Roman down, unknowingly.The elders were watching her like a hawk. They could see she was still analyzing the pictures and Ariel had a wide grin on his face.However,
"Roman is my lover and my mate! I would never try to harm him!" Nicole fired back. Her hand gripped one of the chairs as she was extremely angry. "He is not your mate! Genevieve is his rightful mate and she is supposed to be the next Luna!" Ariel said as he held onto his back. Though he's one of the strongest Werewolves in the Pack, Nicole had dealt him a big hit."Roman has rejected Genevieve! She's not his mate." Nicole replied, with a stern look. "Has he rejected her officially? Did Genevieve accept the rejection?" Ariel asked, in a taunting tone.His words caught Nicole off guard and she turned to look at Bryce. Though she had sufficient knowledge about Werewolves, she didn't know about that.As soon as she turned to look at Bryce, he gave her a complicated look. Nicole's heart shattered as she realized she had taken things too lightly. "So what? He still does not want Genevieve!" She turned around immediately, with an equally taunting grin. "You're sick!" Nicole added and th
Roman groaned on the bed as his eyes struggled to stay open. "You like this, huh?" Genevieve said, with a small smile on her face. However, her face was filled with pleasure as she rode continuously on him. There was a series of slapping sounds as her wet crotch collided with his hard shaft."Hmm... you're so much bigger than your grandfather." She said, shamelessly. Her wet walls tightened around Roman's shaft lewdly while her eyes rolled. On the other hand, Roman gritted his teeth as he tried not to feel the pleasure of having sex. He felt like he was defiled. "You will never have my heart!" Roman said, his eyes narrowed in anger."Oh, I do not need your heart." Genevieve said, as her eyes shut tightly. Her legs clamped around Roman's waist as her juices flowed.She rode herself to orgasm."I just want to become Luna!" She said, as she slowly detached her garden from his shaft.His shaft came out with a loud pop and immediately, it became flaccid. He had no emotions attached to
"Ahhhh...." Ariel screamed as pain coursed through his body. There were claw marks on his face and he looked at Nicole in horror.In the next second, he stared at her hand and was shocked at how she was able to morph. "Aren't...you human?" He asked, in a shaky tone. He then looked from Bryce to Nate. He expected them to be surprised by what was happening but then they looked calm. He was silent for a moment as he looked back at Nicole. Ariel couldn't believe that a mere human would suddenly possess Werewolf abilities. "She is a monster! Can't you see?" He screamed and then suddenly winced in pain. Nicole had caught hold of his neck and his face started to turn red."You don't need to know if I'm a monster or not..." She bent down and said. Her voice was as low as a whisper but terrifying. Her breath fanned his neck but it seemed like she was spitting fire at him. At this point, Ariel realized he had gotten into what he shouldn't have.Shutting his eyes, he could feel Nicole's terri
There was silence in the dungeon immediately after Ariel finished his words."Have we met with a dead end now?" Nate spoke out, as his fingers drummed his chin. On the other hand, Bryce had a complicated look on his face.Also, Nicole didn't want to think she was at a dead end. She needed to find Roman by all means and Ariel was their only lead.Guards have been dispatched to find him but he is nowhere in the Pack. All traces of him have disappeared."You don't know who is threatening you?" Nicole asked, after a minute of silence.Ariel nodded his head at her question while groaning in pain. "What did this person order you to do? Kick me out?" Nicole said, hitting the nail on the head. Ariel tried to avoid her eyes as he was greatly embarrassed now.Not only had he confessed his greed, but he would also have to say how he tried to sabotage Nicole."What do you know about my presence in Nate's house? Do you know about the shadow that was sent to attack me?" Nicole asked, in a heartb
It was nighttime and Ariel was bundled into a black car by Nate and the guards.While Nicole and Bryce were sitting in another car.They didn't want to take the chance of running in their wolf form toward the cottage.It was going to be easy for Ariel to plan an escape.In Nicole's and Bryce's car, Nicole was nervous as her hands clenched and unclenched on her thighs."Stay calm!" Bryce said, suddenly. He turned to look at Nicole and then turned to look outside the window immediately after the car started. On the other hand, she was speechless and didn't know what reply to give to Bryce. But then she said, "I'm just thinking about random things." "Also, I hope we find Roman tonight." She added and then laid her head on the headrest.The car turned silent after this as they drove on the road leading to the outskirts of the Pack, where the cottage was located.__Genevieve was pacing all over the room while Roman's eyes were half closed. He was incredibly weak at this point and Genevi
A gust of wind blew across Genevieve's face and immediately she felt a presence by her side."Hello, Genevieve." A deep voice boomed and it was Nate.Swiftly, without thinking twice, she twirled her hand and a dark light appeared. It was like the wind and she blew it across Nate.However, Nate was quick to dodge and his eyes turned red. At the same time, a few specks of light appeared on Nate's hand and flew toward Genevieve.As soon as they touched her, they turned into sharp small blades, slicing her skin."Ahhhhh..." She screamed as she looked at Nate in horror. Her body was covered in cuts and they dripped with blood."What exactly are you?" She asked, pointing a shaky finger at Nate as she staggered backward.Nate's real identity was not really known to the Pack members. They just saw him as an elder. "You wanna know?"A calm voice said from behind Genevieve and she got startled.She was about to talk back but her neck was suddenly held onto."Hello, I'm Nicole!" Nicole greeted,
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
