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
NIRVANA I didn’t know why I felt emotional these days. I quickly got upset over something. I shouldn’t have eavesdropped their conversation. Boys were boys, and they had the right to their own privacy. Yet, here I was— upset. I just had this feeling that they were talking about me or this black plague pandemic, and being the sacrificial lamb did a number on my head. I became paranoid. I walked out of the party that Knight threw for me. I was having fun earlier, and now I had ruined one thing I should value the most—his trust. I drew a deep breath as I sat on the ground. The night was supposed to be perfect— beautiful moonlight, nice weather, fresh air, and I had the people I cared about. I sent a text to my grandfather. VANA: I missed you, Grandpa. I wish you were here with me. Call me soon. I love you. I was so caught up with my moping that I didn’t notice I wasn’t alone anymore. The first person I saw was Phin. “Hey. I’m sorry I didn’t even come to check up on you guys. H
KNIGHT “We should hurry up. They haven’t gotten that far if they’re on foot.” Kaleb just got back with a rifle over his shoulder. “Give me a moment.” Zarah closed her eyes as she held on to a bead bracelet. They will be heading north.” “North? Towards the mountain?” “Yes. They will probably rest for a while or wait for their contact. I’m sure they’re not working alone.” “They will be safe from humans. And it’s basically hard to track out there.” I found Zander in the crowd. “Go bring us some clothes, and follow us. Take Maddox and the twins with you.” “What about us?” Roisin asked. I took my jacket off and gave it to her. “Stay here with the girls, and don’t leave this place unattended. Contact Uncle Lennox to double the guard in the pack house. The rest will come with me.” “We’re coming with you.” Shadow looked up at me. “You don’t have to come.” I couldn’t risk her even if she were stronger. Considering she was also a princess, the royals would come after me if something te
