NIRVANA Our mating was complete. His emotions rushed through me unimaginably, like an ocean, like a freight train barreling down on me. His presence in my thoughts crushed in like an avalanche. Convulsions of pleasure rippled through me and went on and on, and I felt like I was in the Milky Way. His mouth returned to where he marked me, running his tongue through the sensitive flesh, his hips rolling. He picked up the pace as he growled and thrust and thrust until he stilled, roared like thunder, and his body shook around me. I felt like freefalling as the aftershock eased. My eyes fluttered close, catching my breath, and he helped me lie in his arms. “Can you feel me?” he whispered in my ear. My skin was still sensitive. My body still hummed after the orgasms he gave me. I cracked my eyes open and stared at him. “I feel you everywhere. How is this possible?” “Close your eyes and open your thoughts. Let me in.” “How do I do that?” “Just relax, Nirvana.” He ran the back of hi
KNIGHT “Sweetheart?” She didn’t say a word as she settled between my legs on her knees while I was on the sofa. My heart pounded so hard as if it were trying to break out of my chest. She yanked down the zipper of my jeans, fisted my cock in her hand, and moistened her lips, making me groan. Darting her tongue out, she licked the slit on my shaft. I sucked in a sharp breath. “Fuck.” She wasn’t only the most beautiful creature when she came, but kneeling before me as she was about to blow my mind was a refreshing memory that I could never forget. As those eyes danced with humor, she took me by her throat. I was not, by far, an average size. I knew my cock, and she struggled a little. Knowing she was a virgin, I could bet my bike, she’d never done this before, probably watched porn. That was how she learned to deep-throat me, but I wasn’t complaining. In fact, it was perfect, and I was instantly hard as steel. “Take it easy.” She moaned against my girth as she did a good suck.
NIRVANA I tried to meditate, but I was too distracted to focus. I could hear Knight talking to Zarah on the phone. I took a deep breath again, closed my eyes, and blocked everything around me. Breathed in and breathed out. Slowly, I challenged my mind to focus on one thing— my breathing when my mind went wandering. “Let go,” something in my head told me. I breathed out. I thought of the pile of wood outside, the smell of earth, the dampness on the ground, and the fresh, chilly air. I took my place there. I started to be aware of everything in the room. Tingles erupted across my skin. Something powerful force engulfed me, thrumming around me. I felt the wind blow me, my hair flying, and my surroundings suspended like a clock stopped working, and the world stopped spinning. My breathing seized. My heart pounded, and the brutal swiftness of motion should terrify me, but then I sensed a comfort in it in that light motion. Then I felt the moist soil under my skin, the wood splinters
KNIGHT She managed to take us to a place in one piece, under her own control. Finally, she made some improvements. I knew Nirvana was strong, and despite her defiance and doubts, I never doubted she wouldn’t stop figuring out what she could do, and I knew she would make a huge difference in our world. She should have anticipated the other packs out there, and she just brought us to a dangerous pack in Alaska. When five men appeared from a distance, my wolf turned protective, stirring and growling inside me. He became agitated, and my fangs tickled in my gums. My claws threatened to claw their way out. Then I noticed the tall man in the center. He was, without a doubt, the alpha. I had yet to learn how big their pack was. I knew many packs, my allies, but none were in this area. “We’re lost in the woods. We didn’t mean to trespass.” I wasn’t lying, but they could not know about Nirvana’s gift. “I can smell you from afar.” That must be one of the enforcers. The alpha hadn’t spok
KNIGHT We followed their instruction despite my wolf’s defiance. It was not about how we could survive. It was about making peace with them if they would give us a chance to talk. But I would take my chances if they lay a hand on Nirvana. A few minutes later, the big house came into view— a country house in the middle of the woods, almost covered with snow, but the enforcers did not take us there. They turned left. They were putting us in one of their cages as their prisoners. “I’m so sorry, sweetheart.” “It’s all right.” I was right. There was a small cave. It wasn’t so much a prison cell as a cave gated with an iron door. Only a single yellow lamp reflected the iron walls, which were probably five inches thick. I ignored the horrible smell inside. Someone must have died here, and they left it rotten to torment their prisoners. “Get in, or I will rip your mate apart,” said the head of the enforcers. “At least give us five minutes to tell your alpha that we didn’t end here on
NIRVANA I didn’t realize I was sensitive to silver, just like werewolves, until today. I could feel my body giving out. I shivered when my skin was so cold while my inside seemed boiling like molten lava. The cage didn’t help either. It was sickening. It smelled like rotten animals. The longer I stayed there, the more horrible the smell became. The cave must be spell-protected. I couldn’t reach Zarah to ask for help, and my necklace was useless. Knight was also in pain. Despite how hard he tried to hide the pain inflicted with silver, I still felt it. We shared a bond, and we shared thoughts in the first place. I tried to block him, but somehow, he became my anchor, my hope, and he was the only thing that gave me a reason to stay strong and keep my mind sane. If it wasn’t for him, keep telling me not to expose my ability. I’d already fought these werewolves to protect us. At the back of my mind, I was so full of myself, thinking I had mastered my gift. Instead, I put my alpha in
NIRVANA “You can trust my sister. She just found her ability two years ago. Evelyn has a gift to see someone’s true nature by touching them.” “I don’t mean to frighten you,” I told Evelyn as I grabbed the cup and sipped the tea. “I came from a long line of ancient werewolf and Sybil.” “As in the seer?” He stared at me. “Yes.” I nodded at Alpha Frye. “But she was cursed before she was even born. So, she was human until recently,” Knight explained in a less complicated way. “What happened?” “After discovering your existence because my grandfather chose to raise me like every other human. Then apparently, Knight is my mate. So I went with him to California. Zarah has a theory that to break the curse done by an ancient, powerful warlock, maybe a true love kiss could break it.” “But she died instead.” “Goddess.” Evelyn gasped. Alpha Frye didn’t even blink. “My soul hadn’t crossed just yet. My great-great-grandfather, whom I thought was dead, brought me back from the dead. He put
KNIGHT “Thank you for everything, Alpha Frye.” I reached out for a handshake. “We did nothing, Alpha Knight. Don’t forget to reach out if you need anything; if you’re going to war, my men and I will be there behind you.” He shook my hand firmly, placing his hand on top. “I mean it, Alpha Knight. Consider us your friends.” “That means a lot.” “And you, young Luna. The only advice I can give you is this. If one thing can win good over evil, it is your love for the people you care about to motivate you, to keep you standing, and the sacrifice you will make for them; even a great evil would never do that.” Nirvana hugged him and sighed. “Thank you so much.” She then went to Evelyn and hugged her. “Don’t wait till you don’t have any more time.” We walked out of their house filled with hope, and the wisdom they shared with us somehow lightened the heaviness in my chest. Once we were far enough, Nirvana held me in my arms, and I felt that tingle again. This time, she did it with flyi
NIRVANAThree months laterThis man wrecked me in every way possible, in a good-to-be-true way. The private island Lycan Alpha King Sebastien owned was more beautiful than he described, and we were here for the third day of our honeymoon. Yes, honeymoon. Knight asked me to marry him again, and I said yes before he could finish popping up the question. And here I was in bed, legs spread at his mercy. His searing gaze burned my skin. He stood at the foot of the bed, naked, and my hungry eyes devoured him. He was perfect from head to toe, and those muscles and his long thick erection in his hand with a small drop glistening in the slit of his crown.I licked my lips, squirming in bed. Knight knew precisely how to drive me crazy. My hands fisted above my head. No matter how I struggled, the rope laced with magic he used to tie didn’t even budge—no thanks to the book of spells my mother’s own. Dylan sent me a box full of my mother’s books and tools. Knight found out about it, and he u
NIRVANAI smiled at Carter. “Yeah. I’m a werewolf.”“You look wonderful, Vana. If he’s over you, come find me.”“Cut the shit, Archie.” Knight chuckled as he hugged Archibald. “Glad you could make it.”“I would not miss for the entire world,” Chance was the one to reply.Kain and Dane were engrossed in their conversation at the corner.“Hey.”Kain hugged me. “I thought we lost you.”“So do I.”“We wouldn’t be here without you.”“You all keep saying that when it was more of a team effort.” I patted Dane on his arm. He remained at Kain’s pack of assassins to protect Kailin and our allies. “You take care of my best friend, or I will rip your throat out.”“You can stop threatening him.” Kailin, in her beautiful blue gown, came and kissed me on the cheek. “I will be the one to rip his throat out if he betrays me.”The tapping of a spoon on the glass caught my attention. The whole pack house went silent, and the music stopped. Our attention went to Victor, Lennox, and my grandfather, who no
NIRVANAI shuddered at the loss of his thick dick inside me.“On your knees, Nirvana.” He growled. His breathing was rougher.“I don’t bow nor kneel to anyone, but sure.” I was too eager to do as he commanded me to, so I moved to my knees and faced him.“Open your mouth for me.” His eyes almost glowed. His jaw locked harder, every part of his body tensing.I opened my mouth as he gathered a fistful of my hair and gripped it, pulling me closer to his erection.“Now suck me.” He flexed his hips as he shoved his cock past my lips.I took it too eagerly, one hand gripping the base, the other on my knees, balancing myself on the bed. I swirled my tongue around him, sucked, and stroked him.My mouth stretched around his girth. I struggled to breathe through my nose, my eyes watering as I tried to accommodate him without gagging.“Relax your throat. You can take all of me.” He pushed my head into his cock, and quickened his thrust until a guttural groan erupted from his throat.He threw his
KNIGHTI stopped at the edge of the bed and watched Nirvana strip off her clothes one by one. Nothing fancy, even her skin tone bra, but her body, though, the sexiest and hottest fucking thing I’d ever seen, always would be and forever.She was on the last thing, her cotton panties, and there she was, the same body and curves I’d felt many times against mine, and the same woman I fell in love with over and over again, smiling at me as she spread her legs wide apart, revealing her always smooth and waxed pussy.Her cheeks flushed as she slid her hands between her thighs, and a low groan rumbled from within my chest as she let go of a shuddering moan.I found myself gripping my erect cock, stroking it. Locking her searing gaze against mine, she lay on her back, inviting me into bed. She didn’t have to do that because I intended to join her and make her feel what I longed for over a week.I crawled into bed, joined her, and braced my forearms on either side of her shoulders. Then I held
NIRVANA“No freaking way! That’s impossible.” My eyes grew wide as I stared at them one by one.“Is it, though?” McKaye said. “We trained for months.”“To fight that freaking monster?”“Your bloodline is some kind of link to an ancient warlock from Greece,” McKaye explained. “And you were the only one who could kill that son of a bitch.”“Yeah. My mother’s side from my grandmother were witches.”“And you don’t have a gift?” Knight asked me hesitantly.“No. Why? Should I?”He glanced at Zarah.“You’re a witch, Zarah. Can’t you jag my memory or something?”“It doesn’t work that way.”“Then I’m sorry to disappoint you, guys, but I don’t remember fighting an evil warlock named Cyrius.”“What about him?” Kaleb, the beta, tipped his chin at the alpha.Alpha Knight finally groomed himself, looking hotter and smelled so good.I couldn’t help but smile, and every time I looked at him, my heart skipped a beat. “No.”“You’re lying.”“Excuse me?” I arched a brow at him.“I can hear your heartbeat
KNIGHTWhen Kailin called urgently via our link, I thought someone was in trouble again in the tasting room, like the twins.I had struggled the past week without Nirvana, but I never gave up searching for my mate. Scratch that. I once considered jumping off the cliff, and there may be a minuscule chance she would appear and come to save me. But somehow, her promise kept my sanity intact.Everyone helped me check for the lost women or unclaimed bodies in every morgue in the region, but none of them was Nirvana, and I couldn’t find a record of her death either. I felt so relieved and hung in a thinner thread as the days passed, and there were still no signs of her.The underworld was back to normal— no more viruses or killings, thanks to my mate, and my uncle was offered a job at the council while I barely hung in there and not dealing with my loss. I barely slept, or I found myself in the woods mourning. I lost some sense of self-love and belongingness. I couldn’t work, and I hadn’t
NIRVANA“Grandpa! Where the hell have you been?”“Vana?” His eyes widened like he’d never seen me in years. He ran in my direction and squeezed me into a tight hug. “Oh, Goddess. Thank Goddess.”I chuckled as I hugged him back. “It’s only just been a week, Grandpa. You’re overreacting.”He looked me in the eye from head to toe, cupped my head, and kissed me on the cheek, and he was about to get all teary-eyed.“We don’t do that, Grandpa. Where have you been, anyway? I was worried when you did not pick up my call.”“What do you mean?” There was pain, confusion, and relief in his eyes.I slumped my ass to his couch. “You’re acting weird. What’s going on with you? How’s the pack anyway?”He came sniffing me, making me freeze. “You’re a—”“A werewolf?” I scoffed. “Yeah, since birth. Duh. You taught me how to shift. Don’t tell me you suddenly forget about it.”There it was again, the staring, and then he smiled. “I’m proud of you, kiddo.”“Of course, I just sold two pieces of my paintings
KNIGHTGasping for air, I woke up on the ground. The blood’s bitter, sweet, metallic taste dried on my mouth.A shudder of terror rocked through me as I got up. It felt like a new day, or nothing happened last night.Trees stood tall, leaves dancing against the soft breeze. Sunlight streaked from the sky.I saw broken trees on the ground from a distance, a reminder that something had happened around here last night.“Guys!” I went to Califf, shaking him. “Cal, wake up.”He sucked in a breath, staring at me. “What happened?”“I have no idea.”Luka and McKaye stirred and froze as they realized we were still in the forest.“What the hell?” McKaye looked at his naked self.“Did we win?” Sebastien dusted the dirt off his body.Alpha Frye came from behind us, confused, eyes roaming around. “I think she did it.”“Fuck. Nirvana. Where is she?” Terror filled my chest. “I can’t feel her.”“We’ll find her.” Michael, Grady, and Ryden went separate ways to find Nirvana.“Nirvana!” I called her nam
NIRVANA“Asina? Wow. You are gorgeous.” I was surprised to see her standing before me. For the first time, she showed me herself— a beautiful and tall woman with straight long, dark hair, brown eyes, and a smile that could bring men to their knees. She was truly captivating, a real strong heroine in a white flowy dress. “Am I dead?”“About to if you won’t wake up.”“I can’t. There’s too much pain and loss. I can’t do this, Asina. I’m too weak compared to his power. He killed everyone I loved, and I want to die along with them. I give up. And you leave me alone there.”“Nirvana, you take it all wrong. You don’t need me to win the battle against Cyrius. All you need is your courage, your strength, and your heart.”Frustrated, I sobbed as I fell on my knees. “He is powerful to stop, and you’re telling me to use my heart and my strength? I don’t have strength anymore. I can’t even level a percent of his power.”“Because you believe you can’t.”“Are you kidding me right now?” I growled in
