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.
KNIGHT Nirvana almost had the dagger when Chance woke up. In a blink of an eye, he had his fang on my mate’s neck, his hands locking her arms. With my heart in my throat, my wolf urged me to come out. I already felt my eyes glowing. The guys growled, ready to attack and rip Chance’s head off. “Relax!” Archibald became the middleman, stopping us from killing his brother. Tension quickly erupted in the tomb. I felt their anger everywhere, and my wolf turned feral, about to attack and kill, where his laser eyes focused on the one who had his mate. “I will fucking kill you and your brother if you won’t let my mate go. You bloodsuckers, maybe fast, but you can’t take us all down in five seconds.” My anger instantly boiled in my blood as I watched Chance’s teeth grazing against my mate’s skin. “He’s not gonna bite your mate,” Archibald grunted. “Chance, let her go before it gets bloody down here. She’s not your type, bastard,” Sebastien said impatiently. “We don’t have time for this.
KNIGHT “The Excalibur,” I muttered under my breath. “Thor’s Mjölnir,” said Kailin. “No,” Chance replied. Grunted, Nirvana let the dagger and glared at Chance. “You have to give it to me, haven’t you?” “Yes.” “Wait a sec. Why can you hold the dagger without hurting yourself?” Nirvana asked. That was an excellent question. “Remember what I told you about a few people secretly tasked to protect something with their lives, the Keepers? Just like Case, he is tasked and responsible for protecting the key, and I am tasked to keep the journal by birthright, and Chance’s job is to give the dagger to the last female Katzius’ descendant,” Dylan explained. “That makes sense,” Luka said. “Well, it’s been an honor having this dagger with me for almost a century and a half since my father passed it on to me. It’s yours now, Nirvana.” He took my mate’s hand and placed the dagger on her palm. “Protect this with your life and use it to do good.” “Thank you.” She grasped it, and something just
NIRVANA “Oh, my God.” Air stuck in my lungs as I stared at the giant wolf in front of our vehicle. His eyes were pitch black, snarling at us, drooling in black blood. We had two problems. We couldn’t drive to the other line, or the wolf would throw us off the bridge. If we ran it over, it would damage the car, and if the wolf would not die, it would kill us all. Then, we had to walk if we could not find a passing vehicle. “What should we do now? We can’t run over a wolf or change lanes.” Exactly. “Stay in the car, Luka—” “Wait.” Knight was instantly alarmed. “What are you going to do? You can’t fight that wolf, or you get infected if you get bitten, or maybe the scratch is also infectious.” “I know. I’ll be careful.” “No, Knight.” I grabbed his arm. “I’ll run to the woods and let it follow me.” “Are you insane?” The way Kailin looked at me, she thought I was out of my mind. Maybe I was, but I could teleport. “How many werewolves are we in this car? We even have a Lycan royalt
