Bonnie “I don't understand.” He's just thrown a major curve ball at me and I have so many things I want to say but at the same time, I feel speechless. “I thought you… you didn't want me as your mate?” He runs his hand through his hair before letting out a long sigh. “It was never that I didn't want you as my mate. It was never personal to you, I just didn't want a mate full stop. Well, I wouldn't allow myself to. It's all so complicated." He lets out a huff of frustration seeming to match the frustration that I feel inside of me. "It's complicated how? I don't understand?" He has to explain this because there's no way I can figure it out alone. "Do you remember how I said that Lottie's arrival was not your usual story?" I nod. "Well, her arrival and my whole complicated mate situation is kind of an all-in-one thing." I understand what he's trying to say... I think. "I know you want to know the story and I will tell you but to tell you about that... Well, not many people know about
Alpha NicholasI'm livid! I'm so mother fucking Goddam angry I swear I could tear apart this entire room and not even blink an eye. Who the fuck treats anyone like that? Let alone their own blood family, let alone my mate! I just don't understand it. She's so beautiful inside and out, so kind-hearted it's sobering, and yet those worthless pieces of assholes think that it's okay to do that? Well, I can guarantee that it won't happen again. NO FUCKING WAY! Even if she doesn't want to be with me, then I will make sure she gets somewhere safe, hell, I'll hire her a bodyguard for the rest of her life if I need to, but no matter what they don't get to hurt her again."Are you ok, Nicky?" Her sweet voice brings me back to the present but she must see more on my face that I don't mean to show because she suddenly shrinks back from me and that one move alone is enough to bring me back to my senses. "No, Bonnie, Please don't do that. My voice is harsh but I try to keep my tone calm and as soft
Alpha Nicholas As soon as we hit the forest I stop and curse myself. What the fuck am I thinking only having Lottie with Bonnie? Yes, she is more than capable of protecting both her and Bonnie and when it comes to my pack both of them couldn't be any more safe but I still have Bonnie's father and sister on my land and I don't fucking trust them, not one bit! Those 2 girls are the most important women in my life and it's my job to protect them. Of course, I love my mom but my dad always has her protected so I don't need to worry too much.Luckily for me, I have Will here with me and as my Gamma, it's his job to have control over the warrior's patrol shifts. "Will, do you know if Ryan and Tony are on patrol today?" He stares up at the sky as he thinks before shaking his head "No, they are on the night shift tonight on the East border." One thing about Will is his incredible memories of the patrol rotas, rarely, he doesn't know who's on patrol and when. We have a lot of warriors and for
Alpha Nicholas 12 years old "Come on, Nicky. It'll be fun!" My best friend Tony whines. We're sitting in the breakfast hall filling our stomachs before school. There's a school field trip today only he doesn't want to go, and neither do Ryan, Cole, or Adrian. We all attend high school in the local town which holds a mixture of students including humans, werewolves, and even some witches and while both the werewolves and witches are fully aware of each other's presence, the humans have no idea about any supernatural existence and that's just how we like it. There has to be an extreme reason for telling a human that you are supernatural or you can get in serious trouble. "I don't see how going into another territory intentionally looking for a Rogue pack is fun. Have you forgotten how dangerous they can be?" I see the flicker of pain flash across Ryan's face and as much as I don't want to drag up his painful memories, I need to make Tony think about this. Ryan's dad was killed by Rog
BonnieSitting here listening to Nicky's story is intense. He hasn't told me a great deal yet but still, I can already feel that there's so much more to come. There are so many things running through my mind right now, so many questions but I am afraid to ask him yet as I don't want to distract him and have him change his mind about telling me his story. "So what happened next?" Yes, fine, that was a question but it's different. He looks up a little startled and I feel bad for doing it when he is so clearly lost in his thoughts as he shifts in his chair while keeping ahold of my hand."We walked for miles through one of the biggest forests that I have ever seen without hearing or seeing anything. For a moment I was wondering if we were even in the right place after all, the last thing we needed was to be in the wrong place and to get into trouble for nothing. Don't get me wrong, we were all more than happy to spend all day helping our best friend locate that place, nor did we have a p
Alpha Nicholas"We think so. The Rogue confirmed that Lisa had been using magic to help the pack and he also knew that she could easily cast a spell to put someone in a trance without even being too close to someone. A couple of years after they all disappeared, we heard that Lisa had planned it all. She was the one behind getting Tony to the pack that day but she didn't plan on him bringing anyone with him so when she saw a teenage boy in the forest at the right time she cast the smell and started running.""Only she hadn't stopped long enough to confirm it was Tony and instead cast the spell on Adrian and by the time he had gotten to them it was too late for her to do anything about it, and sending him back was a no-go, so they decided to keep him. No one has seen or heard from him since. Of course, we tried searching for him for almost an entire year but we suspect that after we had destroyed their business they disappeared to another country.""Wow, that's a lot to take in!" I giv
Alpha Nicholas"Going through all of that… I can't imagine how you even begin to move past it and what happened with Lottie is just mind-blowing but you said… You said that your reason for not wanting a mate was connected to Lottie, but if you never met her mother and she wasn't your mate then I don't understand.""I didn't meet Lottie's mom until she was 7. One day while she was in school her mom showed up at the pack house. She was dirty and smelly and looked like she hadn't eaten in months. At first, I thought she needed help but I couldn't have been any more wrong. Well, she did need help because it turned out that she was on drugs but she didn't want any help with that.""Did she come for Lottie?""No, she came for money. She turned up and demanded money for Lottie or she would take her and leave. There was no way on earth that she was taking my daughter so I paid her, I essentially bought my daughter from her. There were other ways around getting rid of her without paying her bu
BonnieI wasn’t lying when I told Nicky that I knew that he needed to go and run, I could feel how tense he and his wolf were and I knew neither of them would want to lose their temper in front of me or Lexi but that wasn’t the only reason I convinced him to go. The truth is I needed some time on my own to work through everything.Don’t get me wrong, I’m so happy that he told me everything that he did and while it does explain a lot of things, it does still leave me with some questions but they’re questions that I don’t think he’ll be able to answer, not really or maybe he won't want to, I'm not sure, so for me to try and figure them out for myself I needed him gone because when he’s around it’s hard to breath, never mind think.Take away the asshole side that he carries around or at least the asshole side that he can appear to have and you’ve got everything I could have ever wanted in a mate. He’s tall, strong, and incredibly handsome. He clearly loves his family, pack and of course,
