KNIGHT “Do you believe him?” I asked Nirvana through the link. “Yes. Do you?” “Yeah. I think he’s telling the truth. Are we sure he’s on our side?” “One way to find out.” I wished I could read his mind. “Why didn’t you tell your alpha?” “Oh, I did. Not about the sword. I asked him that we should do something before one of us gets infected with that black virus.” “Black virus?” “Well, what do you call it? No one can treat that thing except maybe the person who did it. If he’s even a person. It’s like the virus is linked to him. The hospitals denied having such patients. The local government tried hard to hide the situation from escalating to avoid mass panic, and how do they explain it exactly? When it’s something beyond their comprehension. And this is not good for us. This virus will expose our world to humans.” “What did your alpha say?” “He said it’s beyond his capability. He only warned us to be careful.” I took a deep breath before I picked up my phone and dialed the We
KNIGHT I straightened my stance. “Huh. You read the journal,” he specifically told Nirvana. Then you know what you must do. Does he know?” “What should I know?” I asked Nirvana. “Yes. He knows. Katzius’ bloodline wielded the dagger and the only bloodline who could kill that son of a bitch.” “There’s more to it than that. You know that, right?” “Yeah.” I heard a racing of Nirvana’s heartbeat. “Is there something you’re not telling me, mate?” “You know what I know so far, but I doubt Dylan knows about the wolf spirit.” “What is wolf spirit?” Luka asked. “Guardians. They are spirits and protectors who restore balance in our world. Like a wolf spirit, for example, the spirit comes to a person with a pure heart, and that person becomes the protector, but they are powerful enough to make humans extinct,” Dylan replied. I don’t believe it until I see one. I believe they walk amongst us and protect the human race and underworld when in endmost threat.” I ignored the hair rising all
NIRVANA I had to walk out when Knight took the box from me. Dylan knew something more than he let on, and if he went to New York to talk to my grandfather and came all the way here, maybe he really wanted to help, and he could help us fight this war. I found myself sitting alone in the woods where McKaye trained me. I still had so many things to learn, and we were running out of time. My hearing caught up. I heard footsteps and twigs breaking. “Should I leave?” “No. Sit with me.” Dylan sat next to me, picked up a piece of grass, and started playing with it. “I’m sorry, Nirvana. This must be difficult for you.” “You have no idea, and I have no one to talk to.” “Well, I am here. I know you all don’t trust me, but my only intention is to help you not end this world, our world. If I could trade positions with you, I would already have done so. At least I have nothing to lose, and my friends will understand.” “How much do you know about the Guardian?” “Not much. There’s nothing w
NIRVANA He gave me a whining reply. “Wait. What do you mean by that? We can’t talk through our link?” I slightly scratched the thick fur on his jaw. “I take that as a yes, but we haven’t showered together, and they said sex in the shower is good,” I whispered the part in his ear. His ears pointed up. His eyes widened at me before he groaned. I pressed my head against him as I breathed deeply. “You’re a big bad alpha. I can’t believe I’m talking to you in your wolf form. Do you know I dreamed about you twice? And you’re actually handsome even if you’re a wolf.” I laughed at the last part. “If someone sees me hugging and talking to a wolf, they think I’m going crazy. Wait. If there’s a horse whisperer, should it be, there’s also a wolf whisperer. He grunted. I kissed him on his jaw before I got up. “Let’s go, big guy. We have a lot of work to do. See you back at the pack house.” Thirty minutes later, Knight walked towards the living room, came to me, cupped my face, and kissed me
KNIGHT Nirvana still had the sword in her hand. After the patterns on the blade lit up, something clicked. “Did you hear that?” McKaye asked. He and Kailin took steps back away from Nirvana. “Relax. It’s not Gabriel’s sword,” Dylan’s said. I was impressed he knew a lot more than we did. Maybe it was fate, or that was why Nirvana’s mother advised her to learn about her ancestors so that her questions would be answered. She then inspected the handle, which somehow had an almost unnoticeable gap between it and the blade. She pulled it apart, and the key fell on the floor. “The key.” I picked it up. Thankfully, it didn’t electrocute me or burn me. It was a skeleton gold-plated key with a wing handle. “Yes. Now, all we need is to find the blood dagger.” “How do you expect us to find it, Dylan?” Kailin asked impatiently. “We need a witch, and I happened to know a good one.” He picked up his phone. “I’m calling Zarah.” “Zarah?” “You guys always do this? Like a choir?” He looked am
NIRVANA “Ahh!” He sunk his teeth into the flesh of my ass. I thought I was dreaming until the pain was becoming more real. Then he licked the spot where his teeth marked me. As my skin got hotter, I lay on my tummy, my cheek against the pillow. As if he knew what I wanted, he came over my back, pressed his rigid cock between my butt cheeks, then kissed me all the way from my shoulder to my neck, sucking the spot of his mark. I didn’t know why it was always sensitive in that part. I moaned as Knight slowly rocked his cock while nipping and licking the shell of my ear, and then he whispered, “Do you like morning sex?” I still remember how he fucked me in the bathroom, and we continued it in bed until I finished with two more orgasms. This man was relentless with a voracious sexual appetite. “How would I know?” Arching my ass at him, I was up for anything he wanted to do to me before we started our breakfast and got ourselves busy with pack business. I just woke up horny, and I woul
NIRVANA I’d never been to Cumbria, let alone England. The weather was chilly. Archibald castle was built on a highland with greener grass, surrounded by a moat, like one of those featured in a popular historical drama series. It looked surreal. I expected a Dracula’s castle with a dark and Gothic theme. This one, though, was exemplary. “Don’t show off. Stay calm, and remember we’re his guests and want something from him, even if he throws insults.” “Is he that terrible person, Alpha King?” I asked. “When he’s not in his mood. By the way, his guards are humans.” We arrived at the gate after walking ten minutes from where Zarah sent us through the portal. “Lord Archibald is expecting us,” Alpha King said, and these are my presents. He showed two cases of his wines carried by Luka and McKaye. “I’ll assist you to his study,” the other man, older than the blonde at the gate, said. The thick double doors cracked open. The interior of his castle was magnificent—gorgeous was an under
NIRVANA “Ah, yes. My apology, Bastie. You’re looking for a knife, and your beautiful witch led you here. Where’s Zarah, by the way? I haven’t seen here in a while.” Still holding a glass of blood, he sat and crossed his legs before the Alpha King. “We’re a bit in a hurry, Lord Archibald. There’s a serious matter left in the US that’s escalating fast.” Knight turned to a serious alpha that I didn’t see often. His stance remained strong, confident, and admirable. “Is it about the virus infecting beings?” He turned in our direction. “As a matter of fact, it is.” “Huh.” He slightly nodded. “It is everywhere. A friend of a friend of mine in Germany rotted to death. He was bitten by a werewolf.” He pointed a finger at us. “I know your fangs are deadly, but we don’t die like what happened to him. Here, look at this.” He showed Sebastien the video on his phone. Knight and I went to watch it. My hand flew to my mouth. I was horrified to watch a person dying, but this one was a nightmare.
