Nicole's head was filled with different thoughts as she contemplated how to answer her father's question."True! You smell different." Mrs. Liu said, sniffing the air with a frown on her face.Slowly, she turned to look at Dan who was standing outside the cell. She had studied Werewolves for years and she knew they had a particular scent even though they have different scents."Is it what I'm thinking?" Mrs. Liu asked. "What are you thinking?" Nicole asked back, with fear in her eyes. However, she tried desperately to hide her fear."No! I don't think it's what I'm thinking." Mrs. Liu said after a few seconds. She couldn't believe or even fathom the idea that her daughter had a wolf. On the other hand, Mr. Liu looked at his daughter suspiciously. He knew something was definitely wrong but then he couldn't point out what was wrong."You have not answered any of our questions, Nicole." Mr. Liu asked. The couple looked at their daughter with a piercing gaze.Nicole who was now on her
Roman was stumped for a few moments and a frown formed on his face and then a look of realization."Come here..." He gestured toward her with a serious look on his face. Slowly, Nicole walked toward him and sat beside him obediently.He then said, "Repeat your words." His words got her thinking for a moment but then she took a deep breath and then proceeded to say, "Do you think my parents are Werewolves just like me?" After a few seconds, he then said, "It could be." On the other hand, Nicole was still contemplating her words. "You know something?" She started to say and Roman raised a brow at her."How I became a Werewolf is still a mystery to me." She said and then Roman frowned."Didn't the Moon Goddess appear to you?" He asked, still with a frown on his face. "Yes, I did. I get the whole concept about it but then there was one thing she said." Nicole said and then went into deep thought. She tried to recall the exact words of the Moon Goddess, in her dream.On the other hand
There was a deafening silence for a few minutes but in the next second, Mrs. Liu burst into a peal of hilarious laughter.In between her laughter, she groaned as she felt pain continue to radiate through her body.On the other hand, Mr. Liu held onto his head, with a deep frown on his face. Coupled with the pain, he was trying to think deeply about what the shadow just said.However, he couldn't find any logical explanation to fit into it. He knew a lot about Werewolves and he knew a person couldn't just get a wolf. It has to be from birth and granted by the Moon Goddess.Therefore, he concluded that everything that was happening was a joke.Mrs. Liu's laughter came to an abrupt end. The couple moved closer to each other and then looked straight at the shadow."You are lying!" They said, with so much affirmation in their voice."Oh, I am?" The shadow said, with a small smile on its face."Yes! You can't even show us proof. If what you claim is true, we need you to show it. Don't slan
Nicole was standing before the wide mirror as the seamstress and a few maids ran around her.She had a big smile on her face, however, her eyes shone with an unknown light."The dress!!" The seamstress shouted. It turned out that Nicole was only dressed in her underwear and she didn't feel embarrassed about it.She had learned that going naked in the Pack wasn't even a big deal.Soon, the dress was taken out and it looked like it came out from the Victorian Era. Putting on the dress, which showed off her shoulders while pushing up her breasts.Nicole looked like the Queen that she was.Her eyes watered seeing how she looked. "Thank you..." She said, to the seamstress and she nodded."Next! We have to do your hair!" The seamstress shouted and all the tools needed were provided.Aside from making pretty dresses, she was also a hairstylist. She was pretty versatile.Soon, Nicole was all dressed up. Her black hair was made into a braided updo. A medieval hairstyle and she looked really b
"Yes, grandfather." Roman answered, with a small smile on his face.His eyes changed for a split second, as he was still looking at the woman before him. He was so entranced by her looks, that a smile was permanently on his lips. "You may sit!" Nate said and Nicole motioned for Roman to sit down as he was too deep in his thoughts. Soon, Roman and Nicole were seated. They looked regal and the whole hall was in awe.Every member of the Pack was gathered around them, including the elders.On the other hand, Nate had a smile on his face and he said, "We are gathered here to witness the coronation of our new Alpha and Luna." He announced and the crowd burst into loud cheers."Alpha Roman, please, step forward." He said and immediately, Roman stood up. However, he didn't fail to glance at Nicole.He flashed a smile at her and went to stand before the little altar that was created.There was the emblem of the moon and stars on it."You are the Moon, Alpha. You will oversee the Pack like t
It was nighttime and the ceremony was still in full swing.Nicole was now dressed in a white dress and Roman was dressed in a white regal robe.With singing and dancing, they were ushered out of the Packhouse. Roman had Nicole's hand in his as he didn't want to let her go, one bit.At this point, he felt more attached to her, especially after they held the staff of authority together."How do you feel?" He mind-linked her as he wouldn't be able to talk to her with all the cheers and people around."I feel great! Everything feels so surreal, right now." She replied, swiftly. She couldn't believe her eyes. She recalled she used to be one naive girl who would always run around her father. At the thought of her father, the smile on her face crumbled for a minute. However, she felt Roman's hand on her chin and he turned her head to look at her. "You shouldn't think of odd things at this time. Let your heart feel the joy in the atmosphere." He said, with an entranced look on his face.N
Two days ago...There was a loud crackling sound and light footsteps, resounded in the dungeon.Sharp claws drummed against the iron bars of a cell and Ariel shifted in his sleep. A frown formed on his face as he opened his eyes slowly.He had not gotten enough sleep and added to it, he couldn't sleep for days.He felt tortured and betrayed."Who the fuck is that?" He asked out loud, thinking it was one of the guards that had disturbed his sleep. He had a high sense of hearing and the slightest noise could wake him up. At his question, there was silence and slowly he placed his hand on the wall and helped himself up."Who the fuck is there? Show yourself!" He yelled as he was determined to kill anyone that came close.If only he could get out of prison."It's me!" A voice suddenly rang out and Ariel's head whipped in the direction of the voice.He heard the voice from behind, however, he couldn't see anyone, anywhere."Who are you? Show yourself!" He said again. His eyes were red a
Nicole was in Roman's arms as he carried her and ran into the Pack's house.Nate was following closely behind and Roman screamed, "Get the healer, right now!" Everyone was running helter-skelter, as the day of dancing was turned into the day of great sorrow.There was a dark aura around the Pack and everyone wondered if the new Luna was really going to die.Roman rushed into his room and the healer walked in from behind.Immediately, Nicole's dress was torn to reveal her chest.The bullet wound on her chest was deep and it was starting to corrode into her skin. It was a silver bullet!"It's a silver bullet, Alpha!" The healer said, taking out his tweezers from his bag. He took out a syringe from his backpack and Roman's instincts kicked in."What are you trying to do?" He yelled at the healer knowing what a syringe could do in the mafia world."Relax, Roman." Nate called out from behind. "He is not trying to harm her. He just wants to stop the rotting around the bullet wound." Nate
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
