Nicole slammed the door behind her and came crashing down. She held her cloth by the side and grabbed it passionately. She lowered her head to her knees and wept profusely. She cried out her eyes.With red eyes and swollen under eyes, she stood up and walked to the mirror. She stood straight and looked at herself in it. All she saw was broken and shattered. She thought to herself, “Is this how I’m going to be treated by Roman? After everything?”Nicole loved Roman with all she had. She felt absolutely disappointed and irritated to see that her lover made a move on someone he had rejected, although not officially because two things were involved. Either he would meet with Genevieve privately and declare it to her face and sever the bonds or wait until the coronation and declare it publicly. She cried and cried as teardrops streamed down her eyes. She placed her two hands on the mirror table, far apart from each other, and looked straight into the mirror at her pathetic self.She let
"Ahhhh..." Nicole screamed, with a pained look in her eyes. She felt great pain running from her chest and through her body."Who the fuck are you?" She asked, in a shaky tone. A tear dropped from her eyes. Her body lay limply on the floor but then she scrambled to stand up to her feet."You want to know who I am?" The shadow asked. Nicole was just hearing the shadow's voice for the first time that night.With a tired sigh through her lips, she shook her head slowly while her fingers tried to grip the dirty stone floor.Slowly, she sat up while she leaned on the wall and her eyes shut for a moment. As she leaned on the wall, she felt a tremendous rush of pain while red thick blood gushed from her heart.At this moment, she felt cold air hit her and she felt goosebumps line her skin. Her eyes snapped open only to see the shadow before her.However, she couldn't see the face. Also, she couldn't even determine if the shadow was a man or a woman, not even from its voice."What are you doi
Roman rushed out of the Packhouse with an angry expression on his face. His heart was drumming in his chest and for the first time in a long while, he couldn't control his emotions. Walking quickly toward a waiting car, he ordered the driver."To Nate's." He said as he settled into the car. He couldn't believe that Nicole would leave him and go to Nate.Also, Roman didn't stop to think why he would think that Nicole was in Nate's house. However, as soon as the driver started the car, he ordered the driver to stop. "Stop the car!" Roman said and immediately he got down from the car.His actions overwhelmed the driver and immediately, he put a call across to Bryce.It turned out that the driver wasn't just an ordinary worker.On the other hand, Roman decided to walk to Nate's house as he didn't want to announce his presence by driving in with a car. Thirty minutes later, Roman was standing before Nate's house. However, he didn't care to knock on the door, he directly barged into the
On the other hand, in Nate's house, Nicole ran after Roman. However, as soon as she got to the front door, she stumbled and fell."Ahhh..." Nicole screamed as she tried to aid her fall with her hand. But then she twisted her hand due to the weight on it."Nicole!" Nate called out as he ran out of the bedroom as well. However, she was sprawled on the floor while she held onto her right wrist. Her face was filled with pain and she felt like she was going to pass out anytime soon.Nate's footsteps were hurried and as soon as he got close to her, he was overcome with worry. "Why do you look so pale? Are you okay?" He asked and then he tried to touch her."Get away from me!" Nicole screamed as she dragged her body on the hard floor. Her face was stained with tears and as she tried to get up from the floor, she fell on her twisted arm again. "Argghhhh..." She groaned in pain but she didn't turn to Nate for help."You need help, Nicole. You're injured!" Nate said, in a loud voice as he was
The rays of sunlight shone through the open window and Roman stirred on the bed. He was naked and the sheets felt warm against his body.However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't open his eyes."W... what..." He said groaning as he shifted on the bed. However, he found his arms cuffed to the headboard. While his legs were chained to the ends of the bed. "What the fuck is going on?" He asked out loud. His mind was fully aware of what was going on, however, he couldn't open his eyes. The bedrooms smelled of a sweet lavender scent and Roman inhaled deeply."You're awake..." A sweet and seductive voice suddenly rang in the air and Roman shivered due to the effect the voice had on him. He had a bad premonition in his heart as to what was going on but he didn't want to confirm it.He thought that Nicole's betrayal had started to make him think crazily. But why was he chained to the bed? He knew Nicole would never do that.However, in the next second, he heard a low chuckle and he froze.
"You can't stop me!" Genevieve whispered against Roman's lips while she continued to ground her wet crotch against his hard shaft.On the other hand, Roman continued to try to restrain himself as he shook violently beneath her. "No..." He said and directly moved his body sideways, trying to turn Genevieve over."Don't you want me?" She asked with a hurt look on her face. She then tried to place soft kisses on his lips. "I don't want you!" Roman spat out without remorse, pushing her away with his shoulder. However, his action didn't give much impact. "But you're my mate! The Moon Goddess has tied our fate together. You're meant to love me." She said, sitting straight up on the bed. A look of hurt flashed in her eyes as her breasts dangled before Roman. Though she was old, there were no signs of aging on her. "The Moon Goddess clearly made a mistake! I am not meant to love you! Never!" Roman spat out. On the other hand, Genevieve had thought that it would be easy to seduce Roman ju
"What...is going here?" Nicole asked, in a croaky tone as she rubbed against her eyes. However, she suddenly screamed in pain as she used her right wrist to support herself. Her foggy brain cleared up instantly!"Careful! You will hurt yourself." Nate said, quickly while running toward her.As soon as he finished his words, her head snapped to look at him and she looked at him with so much hatred."Don't come any closer!" She said, as she held onto her bandaged right wrist. Her expression was a mix of pain and hatred.On the other side of the bedroom, Bryce stared at the duo with a frown on his face, alongside Zarius.While Beth still had a look of disgust on his face. "Enough of your nonsense!" He yelled and Nicole turned to look at Beth. She had never seen the quiet elder look so riled up. Her lips were set into a thin line and her eyes were narrowed."Get ready for the council meeting in one hour!" Beth ordered and immediately he turned around and walked away. While Zarius cast a
"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
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
