What the hell!
How did she know? She’s looking at me with so much anger and mistrust. Did Aurora betray me? Everyone is staring at me, and Jackson looks like he is two seconds away from wringing my neck.
“Well? Are you going to answer me or sit there like a fish out of water?” I gulp, I know Jax heard.
I think that’s the only reason why the hateful look he is aiming at me is starting to fade from his face.
“I…I…how?” I sound like a blubbering idiot, but she has me stumped. She is loving every minute of this, judging by the smirk on her beautiful face.
“Oh, you mean how did I know you and Aurora are both lying assholes? That’s easy, I have a secret power for sniffing out the bullshit!” There is so much venom lacing each of her words.
Aurora has a hand clamped across her mouth in shock. So she didn’t rat me out after all…who did, then?

Ryan's POVI can see the look of heartbreak on Jax’s face. He’s devastated. He thought I was his mate, only to be told that I wasn’t, and to make matters worse, his true mate has rejected him. Jackson’s expression changes from heartbreak to betrayal. The woman he trusted so much has lied to him and broken his trust in the worst way possible. No one says a word as we wait for Jax to process the information and all its ramifications.“I think we should forget about this conversation and move on to figuring out how to help Ryan.” I was grateful for the subject change, but at the same time, I would love to slap Chase for bringing the attention back to me. So, I did what any grown-ass woman would do at that moment—I stalled.“I think we should all take a break and reconvene tonight. It seems like we could all use some time to ourselves.” Everyone quickly agreed and started shuffli

Nico's POVI see the moment she processes my words—her face falls and her beautiful hazel eyes with the peculiar yellow ring start to glisten. I fucked up big time, and I know I have just broken her heart more than any person has ever done before. I just told her that the man she thinks she loved was meant to kill her, not love her.She was never his to love, and he fucking knew it; he betrayed me by seducing her and making her love him. My blood starts to boil as I think about his conniving ways, and I clench my fists, trying to control the rage coursing through my veins.“Thank you.” What the fuck is happening here? Did she just thank me?“I don’t understand? Why are you thanking me?”“Because for the first time, you haven’t lied or given me half-truths. You were honest. I appreciate your honesty, even though it hurts me. Can you please expl

Ryan's POVHis touch was like fire, and my body felt so hot and needy from his proximity. I couldn’t think about him being this close to me. I was hurt, so hurt, from what I had just learned. Looking into his violet eyes made me feel things I shouldn’t feel. Kai had just died, and here I am begging Nico with my eyes to kiss me or fuck me. I was trying to shake myself out of my thoughts and pull away, but I couldn’t. I was a prisoner, and he had the key to release me. His eyes kept jumping from my mouth back to my eyes; he was contemplating whether or not he should kiss me.I wanted him to kiss me. If he did, I could escape my thoughts for a while. I knew I could get lost in Nico; he constantly hurts me with his lies, but he was the only one who could mend me. Nico was slowly leaning down, so close I could feel his breath on my lips. I snaked my tongue out to moisten them and his eyes followed my movement, his eyes turning so dark they

Nico's POVI didn’t look up when Ryan left the room. I couldn’t. I could tell Jax and Dom both stayed behind, but I couldn’t look at them either. If I did, they both would know the truth.“She’s your hugacko, isn’t she?” Trust Dom to put the pieces together. I heard Jax’s sharp intake of breath. Well, now they both knew.“Does she know?”“No, I haven’t told her. I don’t want that to have any sway in her decision.” I knew as soon as the words left my mouth they were both going to be pissed.“You need to fucking tell her, Nico! She has a right to know.” I stood and marched over so Dom and I were toe to toe. I needed him to see the look in my eyes.“It is my burden to bear, not yours.”“So you’re just g

Ryan's POVJackson turned and snapped—I mean, full-on went to bite Nico.Nico quickly jerked his hand away and stepped back.Jax was shaking and trying to take deep breaths. His hands were turning into claws.I gasped.Jax spun toward us and his eyes had turned yellow. He started growling again. He took a step in our direction, and I froze.Nico jumped in front of Jax, shielding us from his view."Brother, you need to calm down. Aurora is safe, and she’s here with you now." Jax didn’t reply; he just stood there, staring at Nico.Hair burst from the pores of his arms, and long gray hair was present on his legs, too. Jackson was going to shift, and I felt like I was going to piss myself. "Aurora, you need to talk to him; you’re the only person he is going to listen to at the moment." Aurora raised from her seat, no sign of fear on her face at all. She didn’t even see

“I shouldn’t even be saying this, but you can still turn around and run, love. You owe my realm nothing. You owe me nothing. I’m a selfish bastard, I admit that, but I would never force you to marry me. Do I want to marry you? Yes, I do. But you’re so young and have your whole life ahead of you. If we marry, you will be expected to return to Farrarie with me and rule by my side. You will be Queen.” Fuck, I didn’t think of any of that. I would have to leave my realm and live in his. Though, it’s not like anyone here would miss me, aside from Alex and Chase.I would have to leave everything I know and move to a whole different world. Part of me was scared shitless and another part was longing for the adventure that move would bring. It would be a new beginning for me, a fresh start where no one would know of my past. I could start over.“As scared as I am with this whole unlocking my power thing and

Nico's POVI know she is hiding something, but I can’t figure out what. Her cousins know her secret, I’m sure of it. They never questioned her exit, and they always questioned her whereabouts. I needed to figure out her secret; she knew things she shouldn’t.Before I could get more lost in my thoughts, a bread roll hit me in the side of the head, snapping my gaze to the left and glaring at the asshole who dared to throw anything at me. I wasn’t surprised to find the asshole was none other than Chase. The prick had a smug smile on his face that had my hand itching to slap off.“Now that I have your attention, your majesty, what do you really have planned for your wedding with my cousin?” He’s a smart fucker, I give him that, but I couldn’t let on that I had ulterior motives for my wedding day.“I have no idea what you mean, little witch.” His play

Ryan's POVAfter I left the mess hall, I made it back to my room in record time. I quickly made my way over the bed and grabbed the small vial Alex had given me. Without hesitation, I drank it and laid down. A short while later I was being shaken awake. I blinked a few times, trying to get my eyes to focus, and when they did, I saw both my cousins standing by the edge of the bed.“Did you do it? Is it done?”“Yes, Alex, he’s coming to us now.”“Okay, we need to be ready. Are you ready to tell the others the truth?”“Yeah…I think so, Chase. I understand a lot more now, and when he is woken he can help me understand more. He is a key piece in this war; I needed the others to think I was scared and uncertain about marrying Nico blindly or else they would have asked too many questions. Nico is very bright, and he would have

Ryan's POVI avert my eyes from Dom’s face so he can’t see the truth; the truth is Dom is right. I am scared of what I am feeling for Nico.“Take it from someone who has been where you are, babe—don’t run, embrace it.”“How have you been where I am?” I sound like a bitch, but come on. Look at Dom; what stupid woman would run from him? He’s beautiful, with those violet eyes, sun-kissed skin, and shaggy silver blonde hair that you wanted to run your hands through. He was a handsome man, but he was also kind and caring. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.“I was in a similar situation many years ago, and I was too much of a coward to admit my feelings. I lost my chance with the one I crave, but you haven’t lost Nico, there is hope for you two. I see the way my friend looks at you, and I see the way you look at him. You are both s

Ryan's POVStevie’s coming, Nico hid something from me again, and Stevie wants to kill Nico. I keep running those words through my head on a loop. What did Nico do? Why would Stevie be coming here? Has she had a change of heart? Oh my God, Kai will have to face her. I didn’t even think of Kai.As soon as Aurora finished telling us her vision, I left the mess hall and returned to my room, needing some time to sort my head out and prepare for my sister’s arrival. Now I had to read the letter from my dad that Nico somehow has. Why does he keep breaking my fucking trust? Speak of the devil. The man himself has just walked through my bedroom door, without knocking.“When a door is shut it means you need to knock!”“I didn’t knock last night, and it seemed to work out well for the both of us.” The fucking cheek of this arrogant asshole!“I was

Nico's POVAs soon as she drifted off to sleep, I chanted the spell to bring us back to her bedroom in Jackson’s compound. The sun was already rising, and I knew sleep would evade me. I had never felt like this for anyone in my many years of being alive. I laid there, just looking at her sleep in my arms. Her tiny body was nestled in the same position as it was before I took her to our dreamland, and I ran my hand up and down her side, just needing to feel her. As soon as she learned the truth about what I had done she would hate me.I am the reason she is here. I don’t have the balls to tell her the truth, but I know I need to find a way before Kai tells her. I lay there watching her sleep for so long that I must have drifted off too, jerked awake some time later by a constant knocking on her door. Before I could untangle myself, the door smashed open and slammed against the wall. Ryan sat straight up, ready to scream until she saw it was

Ryan's POVOh my God! I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Nico made me come so hard, and fuck did it feel good. He nestled himself between my legs and leaned down to capture my lips in a searing kiss that felt like he was branding me. I could taste myself on his tongue, and I’m not shy to admit that I loved the taste of me mixed with the taste of him. I felt his hard bulge nudging my pussy as he was grinding his pelvis into me. I needed him inside me now.“Nico, I need you inside me now, please” The smug bastard loved it when I begged.“You want me to put my cock in this beautiful wet pussy, love?” I loved his dirty talk, it always made me more needy and wet.“Yes!” It was the only reply he needed before he was stripping himself of hi
A Witch's Nightmare - Dream Trilogy Book 1 Chapter 59
Nico's POVAfter Ryan left the mess hall, everyone continued to chat amicably about their lives. I noticed Kai had been very quiet for most of this. It was strange, considering he normally added his version of events when I, Jax, or Dom told a story of our youth. However, I didn’t have time to worry about his salty-ass attitude—this might be my only time to ask Ryan’s cousins some things about her. I made my move when there was a break in the conversation.“Were Ryan and her sister close, even though they lived apart?” Both of the warlocks’ faces dropped at the mention of Ryan’s twin sister. Chase was quicker to recover from the shock and answer my question.“Stevie and Ryan were closer than anyone I know. Even though they lived apart, they would always find a way to see each other or talk on Ryan’s hidden cell phone. It would destroy Stevie when she couldn’t sp

Ryan's POVI felt Nico tense. Now he understood what I was trying to say. I knew Kai had hoped to return to his homeland after Randall was defeated, but now he could never go home. I abused his trust in me, and Kai was never going to forgive me.“The spell you cast, though—Kai said he told you what spell to use. He would never use a spell that would block him from returning home.”“I didn’t use the spell Kai told me to use.”“What? Why?” I could hear the anguish in Nico’s voice; he was devastated his brother could never go home.Even after their big falling out, Nico made Kai exempt from the spell he cast in Farrarie after Randall kidnapped Sophia.“Because my dad told me the spell Kai wanted me to use would never work.”“There has to be more to it than that, love.”

Nico's POVI heard her gasp as the portal closed behind us. Was that gasp because she was happy I brought her here or was she pissed off because this was the place Kai had brought her, and where she thought he died?“Nico, I…I—” Dammit, I made a huge mistake bringing her here.I bowed my head, feeling defeated, letting my black hair hang over my face, shielding my eyes. Nothing I do seems to make her happy.Instead, I have a knack for pissing her off“I’m sorry, I’ll take us back now.” As I turned around to open another portal, she grabbed my hand. My eyes shot to hers. She had a beautiful, shy smile on her face, and her eyes told me what she could not. She was glad to be here but unsure what her next move would be.“I’m shocked you brought me here. I have never been to Lake William before. Well, of course, I have, but only

Ryan's POVI was standing between Nico and Kai.Kai was trying to sit up to assess the situation better. I placed my hand on his chest and shook my head. With a huff, he laid back down and didn’t try to move again. Sophia and Dom were still standing in the same place.Jax, Aurora and my cousins were standing on the other side of the bed.Jax was standing slightly in front of Aurora, ready to shield her if Dom did shift.“Deep breaths, Alpha, I don’t want to have to throw your wolf around as well.”Dom laughed at Sophia’s words, which is what I guess she was hoping for, as some of the tension in his back and shoulders started to ease. He wasn’t fully calm yet, but a lot calmer than he was a minute ago. His laughter stopped abruptly, and tension returned to his body.“You’re right, Soph, I deserve so much worse. I will spend my life making it up to

Nico's POVI’m sitting here, staring at her and the way she is running her hand through Kai’s hair. Since when did she stop being angry at him and when the hell did they become friendly like that? I knew they were close in her dreams, and just thinking about Kai having his hands on my woman made my fucking blood boil. I hate the way I’m feeling, like I’m some insecure child. I have never felt like this before about anyone. I hated Kai just for having her hands on him.“Could you stop fucking touching him? He’s alive, yay! That doesn’t mean he needs you to constantly fucking pat him like he’s your pet.” I snarled, shocked at my own outburst.I saw the others staring at me with wide eyes. Dom and Jax both looked like they wanted to laugh. I narrowed my eyes at them until they looked away. I returned my stare to Ryan and found she was glaring at me. The look she was giving me to
