KNIGHT “You’re right.” She breathed deeply and moved forward to get in line towards the exit. The two werewolves were a few passengers away, but they still thought we hadn’t made them. Once we exited the airplane, I grabbed Nirvana’s hand tightly as we sprinted towards the restroom. “Change of plan,” I told her through our link. “I can’t come with you in the ladies room. We go to the exit and let McKaye and Luka block them. Once we get in the SUV, you portal us, and those assholes think we were still in there.” “Excellent plan.” We passed by throngs of people, and I saw them through the mirror, still following us. I sensed McKaye and Luka. They were closer. “Guys, I need you to create a diversion. I think we’ve been followed since Portland. Two guys in a leather jacket and parkas.” “Got it, Alpha,” McKaye said. “I’m seeing them right now,” Luka responded. “Our transport is parked at the left, second row.” “See you soon.” “What the fuck, man?” I heard McKaye. “Look where you
NIRVANA Knight took me slowly. I writhed beneath him. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy it. In fact, I felt every inch of him, every breath he took, every touch of his lips on my skin, and it was overwhelming how sex could make me feel. It was unbelievably and incredibly spellbinding, and it was an exquisite torture, but something was in his head. I tried to move my hips, rocking back and forth, hooked my legs behind his waist, but he was determined to make love with me tonight. It was our first night in his bed. Instead, he pulled his cock out and put it gently through my wet folds, rubbed it against my entrance up and down, and then pushed the head inside. Gasping, I arched my back at the sensation, and I was desperate for a deep and hard thrust. But I felt how thick he was, every ridge and every throbbing vein of his cock slowly intruding me. It was a sweet torture while my skin was burning, my heart was galloping, and my clit was aching. And I was drenched. For a short time, Kn
NIRVANA “Is this really necessary?” I complained as I grew tired of fitting the evening gown I would wear for the pack party. I wanted to flee if I could. Well, I could, but Kailin didn’t have to know it just yet. I felt like this celebration was a waste of time because we now have bigger problems. I would rather start my training, but this was important for Knight and the pack. It was to officiate me as their alpha’s mate and their luna. I didn’t know my duty and responsibility would be a big deal until I read the book about alphas. “Try this one.” Kailin was carrying another gown. It looked divine in green sheered material with corset and flower details. It was not too shiny and glittery, and I loved the off-shoulder design and thigh-high slit. “I’ll put it on.” I stood up quickly and grabbed the hanger from her. “Wow. What happened to my best friend?” “I want this ridiculous fitting to be over.” I went back to the fitting room and put it on. I looked at myself in the mirror,
KNIGHT I wanted to strangle my cousin. She did all this, made me suffer for a few hours without seeing my mate, and my fucking wolf was agitated. I had to go out for a run for half an hour and came back to take a shower. I knew I would see Nirvana tonight at our celebration, and I was excited to tell my pack and the people close to me that I was lucky to have the most amazing mate. My pack members started to arrive at the pack house, which was elegantly decorated with black and golden accents— a chandelier hung low on the ceiling, candelabras and fresh flower arrangements were on the tables, classical music played in the background, and a red carpet was spread on the stairs. “Well, look at you. You clean up pretty well. I’m glad you decided to trim your beard.” Kailin grinned at me, and she wore a beautiful white dress tonight. “You look fantastic, Kailin.” “Wait until you see Vana.” She patted my back. “Nice party. I’m happy for you.” When she was gone, I welcomed our guests.
NIRVANA “What’s going on, honey?” “What do you mean, Grandpa?” The last time I danced with him was when I turned eighteen. I always dreamed of dancing with him at my wedding, but maybe that chance was over. My grandfather raised me, and I was an awkward kid growing up. I didn’t have many friends, or I preferred not to. I always knew I was different, and I chose scribbling in my notebook over going out with girls. I was always a loner until I went to college and met Kailin. Maybe that was why I was still a virgin until I met Knight. I had two boyfriends, and they both were after getting into my pants. Perhaps that was why Axell broke up with me. Before our trip, I was ready to sleep with him once we got to California, but there was always a reason for everything. We were not meant to be. “Vana, why did you want to see your distant cousin? Knight asked me the address.” “After great grandpa Ambrose brought me back to life, I acquired a gift.” “Yeah. I know that.” “And I might f
NIRVANA God, I am so irresponsible. It didn’t occur to me the possibility of getting pregnant. What would my baby be? A werewolf, too? Or a human like me. Could I get pregnant? The reality hit me hard after what we did in the cabin and our bedroom without protection. And it wasn’t definitely the right time to bear a child. With what was going on in the underworld right now, there would never be a right now. Now, it scared the hell out of me. “Earth to, Vana. Where the hell did you go for a moment?” “What?” “The way you stared at me, you didn’t expect you couldn’t get pregnant because he’s a werewolf, and you’re a human, did you?” “Can we not talk about it right now?” “Right. Let’s go to the office.” The door opened. I only expected to see Zarah and Knight, but everyone, including Alpha Frye and Evelyn, was there. My pulse raced. “What’s going on?” “Come in and close the door behind you,” said Knight. I didn’t even touch the doorknob. It shut by itself. “Now, no one can he
KNIGHT We were both naked in bed inside the blanket. I kissed her, and she kissed me back. I knew she was wet the moment we entered the bedroom. It proved to me right when I traced my finger between her folds. She went overboard with the wine, but she wasn’t drunk enough not to know what she was doing. She spread her thighs for me, moving her hips towards my finger as I pressed the rough pad of my thumb, rubbing small circles on her swollen clit. I added a digit, sliding inside her, stroking her wet folds. She shuddered, and broken pants blew my face. “Do you want to come?” I rasped. “Yes, please?” She bit her bottom lip. “Good.” I kissed her lips quickly before dragging myself down. I spread her legs apart and put them over my shoulder, causing her to yelp. I settled my head between her thighs. Her arousal was intoxicating, swirling through my head. I didn’t waste any more time. I started nipping the skin, biting her inner thigh, and my teeth sunk into her tender flesh. She
NIRVANA It was hard enough for me to stay sane with what was going on in their world. I guessed it was part of my world now. Keeping secrets from my best friend was hard enough and could destroy our friendship, and she wasn’t like Grandpa, who would understand why I kept something from him. I loved Kailin like my own sister. I couldn’t afford to hurt and lose her. When we teleported into the office, she gasped and braced on her knees. Then she looked around. I saw the shock in her eyes, and then she turned to Knight. “Ask her.” He shrugged. Kailin then stared at me. “I’m so sorry. I should have told you. I thought protecting you from the truth would protect you from whatever was happening out there.” “Protecting me? Do you know how absurd that sounds? I’m a werewolf. I’m stronger than you. I can run fast, and I healed fast—” “I do, too.” She swallowed hard and kept staring at me. “I’m still a human, though.” “Wait a sec. It doesn’t explain what you just did. Let me guess,
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
