KNIGHT “Are you going to ignore me the whole time?” We were all exhausted, but we were finally back at the vineyards, and I didn’t want Nirvana to stay angry at me. So far, she was doing a great job of ignoring me. “I need to talk to Kailin. I’ll see you later.” She just took off her jacket and went to the door. “Nirvana, you’re not leaving this room until we talk.” It was not a request but an order. Her head snapped in my direction, her eyes narrowing. “What are you going to do?” “We’ll talk.” “I don’t wanna talk, okay? Not now. I’m tired and need a good friend, and you’re definitely not my friend right now.” “I already apologized.” “Did you? First and foremost, I’m an adult. I’m not your wife. Yes, I’m your mate, but you can’t tell me what to do.” “I don’t want you getting hurt, and we’re not even close to ending this madness. We don’t have a vaccine or a cure for this black virus, and if you get hurt, what will happen to our mission? It’s over, Nirvana. We can’t do it wit
NIRVANA “Who has his number? This has to end today.” Knight was shaking in anger. “You can’t do this out of anger. Let that emotion calmer, and then we can make a plan to deal with this.” I knew what it was like to feel violated and disrespected. “This is our fault, Alpha Knight,” West finally said. “I will do whatever they want just to stop harassing us.” “You will not do such a thing. Travis is an arrogant son of a bitch, and if they think they can scare us because they have guns, they just make their biggest mistake. This can’t go on. It has to end today, and they shouldn’t have laid their hands on both of you.” “What are you going to do, Knight?” He looked at me. “What I should have done a long time ago when they started bullying the twins. I gave them a chance, and they came for us. Now, I have to eliminate one problem at a time.” “I went scouting outside the nightclub. I think they don’t do business transactions there anymore. I couldn’t follow up where they transferred
NIRVANA Travis’s house was in the uphill, and no one seemed home. It was past eight in the evening when we arrived by foot at his property. It was actually lovely. I didn’t know bikers could earn pretty good, but a part of me knew what kind of business his father had. They dealt with illegal fighting clubs and probably drugs, as well. We began climbing the walls while McKaye was handling the electrical power and alarm system. “Stay with me all the time,” Knight said to our link. “I have no plan improvising, Alpha. We stick to the plan.” I followed him as the lights turned off from the house. I wouldn’t ask how Knight owned a smart unlocking device, but I thought it was impressive. I heard the door unlock. We got inside the house while McKaye, Luka, Maddox, Kaleb, Dylan, and the twins had planned on their own. “I can’t see anything,” I complained because werewolves in wolf forms could see in the dark. “You can, but don’t use your power.” “Only when I need it. Got it. Where is
KNIGHT “Is everyone accounted for?” We got back to the curb, where we parked the vehicle. I was still pissed that I didn’t have the opportunity to sink my claws into Travis’s jugular, but if he did not learn from what we did tonight, I would kill him myself the next time he tried sending his message again. “Yes. We’re good.” McKaye was the last one to enter the SUV. “I should have killed that son of a bitch.” “Consider this as a win. If he will try again, you don’t have to ask permission from me.” I pulled out from the curb to the main road. “I tried hard not to kill him. He deserves to die, but we have a worse enemy than a thug like Travis.” “He peed in his pants, though.” I heard the pride in West’s voice. “Yeah. He will probably have nightmares for the rest of his life.” Dylan did a high-five with West. “If only you’ve seen the living room.” Maddox shook his head in amusement. “His men were running everywhere. I say they deserved what they got. They are all sick sons of bit
NIRVANA He fucked me hard. I could still feel him inside me and how every muscle in my body tensed. Knight was true to his words. He didn’t give me time to breathe until he was thoroughly done with me. He flipped me over, fucked on four, ate me like he was starving until I came in his mouth, but he wasn’t done. He bent me over, then I was on my knees as he fucked my mouth. I’d never felt so full and exhausted, yet I was wearing a satisfied smile on my lips. Then I woke in the morning with the bright sunlight streaming through the open curtain. Stretching my body like a cat, I felt all tensed muscles were still there, reminding me of what we had done before we fell asleep. Then, I burrowed my face on his chest with a happy sigh. After he fed me breakfast in bed, he let me do my thing in the bathroom while he worked in his home office. “I talked to Zarah and Sebastien last night. He said your grandfather could stay at the castle while this problem with the black virus is unsolve
NIRVANA “It’s not all about the moves you learned. You can be fast or stronger, but what you need are tactics and strategies.” “Tell me, how can I defeat Cyrius?” I rolled my eyes. “He just moved a finger, and I was thrown away, and he stung me with his venom. “Your heart will win against Cyrius, Vana. You have a heart, and he doesn’t. Remember that. Now, let’s start over.”*** I found myself sitting on the bench alone. I was exhausted from the training but didn’t think I had learned anything. Don’t get me wrong, McKaye was a good teacher. It was just me who was too eager to be an expert when fighters and martial experts had years and years of training and still never stopped. “Hey.” I felt a kiss on my shoulder, startling me. “What are you doing here alone?” “I don’t think I can do it, Knight.” I looked at him, and he almost caught me off guard. He was hot and handsome in his dark blue suit with sunglasses on. He smiled as he saw my reaction. He knew how good-looking he was, a
KNIGHT “That’s a good idea. You two need a little time for yourselves before things get crazy.” I was grateful Kailin had come to the office earlier, but that was not why I took her with me. “You think so?” I picked the first ring that caught my eye. It was a three-carat diamond brilliant-cut engagement ring. “Nah. That’s too classic. She’s a gorgeous woman. Try this one.” She pointed at the pear-shaped cut with the stone, one carat bigger. “You can afford any size you want. Vana has slender fingers. This is perfect for her. Do you know her ring size?” I picked the ring up at eye level. I didn’t measure Nirvana’s finger, but I knew this would fit perfectly. “Not exactly, but this is perfect.” Kailin smiled. “You know, I’m proud of you, cuz. Weeks ago, you rejected her because you thought she was better off without you, and now you’re madly in love with her. You’re picking a ring. Did you tell her how much you love her?” I frowned. “She knows how I feel.” “Wait.” She held my arm
KNIGHT I held her hand, squeezing it. “Nirvana, I want you to have fun. That’s all. And this is for you. I’ve been a terrible mate for you lately. We were too busy trying to save this world, and I realized I neglected our personal lives. Just don’t get too drunk, okay?” I instantly felt her emotions— she was upset. “Fine. Have fun, too, Alpha. I need some air.” “Don’t go far.” “I’ll be just outside.” She left. The pain settled in my chest. Now, she would not accept my ring. I just fucked up my plan. “So when are you gonna pop up the question?” Kailin came over. “I just fucked it up, K. She heard our conversation, and I didn’t know how to lie to her. And these assholes are useless and didn’t even back me up.” I grunted as I rose from the stool, grabbed my drink, and downed it empty. “Where are you going?” “To find my woman.” I followed where she left the exit, outside the testing room, but she wasn’t there. “Nirvana?” I looked around, but I saw nothing and felt nothing but co
