Frederick*“Increase the security around Nicole. Now that everyone knows that she is pregnant with an Alpha heir,...."I was cut in half by my beta.“That is already done, Fred. Two of our best guards have been appointed around her. Among them, one is female, and another is male. I would have appointed some more, but then she would have felt suffocated around them.”"Hmm." I nodded my head, knowing Nicole didn’t like being surrounded by guards, but that was now her life.“I can’t say much about everyone, but most of the pack members are happy with the news of Alpha Heir. You’re going to be thirty-one now, so the future of the Alpha was a question mark in case anything would have happened to you,” he updated before changing the topic. “I heard that you’re celebrating your birthday this year."“Are you spying on my life now?” I asked sternly.“Your Luna is my mate’s sister, and you know these women,” he said, shaking his head. “And because of you, Tess keeps arguing with me,”“Huh?”“Why
Nicole*“He knows that Paige is his mother?" Mom asked in surprise.“Shouldn’t he know that?” I asked in surprise.“He never confronted me about that,”“You haven’t given birth to him, but he has your behaviors,” I pointed out with a smile. “By the mom, why did Aunt Paige?"“Let’s not talk about it, Nicole. And it will be better if you keep your curiosity at bay, or you will end up ruining Paige’s life." She snapped at me, making me sad. She sighed before speaking. “It’s not that Paige’s life will be ruined, but it won’t be good for Fred as well."“If you care for Fred even for 1%, then don’t mess with the past,” she warned me.“Okay, Mom,” I agreed, but a curious cat inside me wanted to fight the answer to my husband’s questions. I was getting bored, so I dialed Aunt Eva’s number, asking how she was. She had the power to control the time. I bet she would know the answers that I was looking for.But before I would get a chance to ask anything, she told me about her plan to have a girl
Nicole*My stomach sank as I realized what I ended up saying and what kind of personality Frederick’s father had. Her eyes widened, and her heartbeat quickened.‘He had raped her,’ Anika muttered.That was why Aunt Paige thought that his son would follow his father’s path. Not that I could tell her exactly what he did because it was our thing, and I knew if that truth were out, then everyone would get a mouth to say that he got his real father’s genes.But I knew what kind of person Frederick was! He was a manipulative person, but he never forced himself on me. Whenever I said no, he knew that he had to stop, and it was something I liked the most about him out of all the qualities."How did you... who told you? Since when?" She whispered in shock, looking around and making sure that nobody heard us. "Did Aleena...." She tried to use her mind to find out how I learned this. Little did she know—even her son knew this truth.She quickly reached for me, grabbing my arms. “You have to keep
Nicole*“I have heard that Fred is training you,” Aunt Eva said while we were taking a morning stroll.“Nothing much. Just a little self-defense with a double stick in case of any danger. Mom will be the one who trains me physically,” I replied, thinking about him. I hoped he would return tonight because I missed him a lot last night. That was a different thing that I lied to him about before disconnecting the call.But he knew the truth, right?Still, he asked me to prove it by stripping, huh?“I want to see how much you have learned." She asked, to which I shook my head, telling her that I was just a beginner in this. I was glad that she didn’t persist.After breakfast, I spent my time with Grandma Emma, learning his signature dishes and the dishes that Fred loved a lot.“And there I thought you were interested in me, not in my old brother,” I gasped, hearing Evan’s words as he joined us in the kitchen. Grandma Emma chuckled at his words, and when he hugged her from the back, restin
Nicole*I was about to get ready when Mom mind-linked me, ‘You still talked with Paige about it, don’t you?’‘No, Mom. I…’ I stopped myself from apologizing. ‘Yes, I did. She came to me out of nowhere and started asking stupid things related to Fred and my relationship. So, I couldn’t stop myself,’ I explained before adding, ‘And I’m not sorry for that.'‘Your tone is changing, girl. You do know to whom you’re talking, don’t you?’ Mom asked sternly.‘I know. I’m talking with a mother who would have scratched any person’s face with her claws for saying rubbish about her son. That’s why I did your work in your absence.'‘Fred doesn’t need our protection,’‘I also know that, Mom. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to be protected. I can now understand why you have hidden the truth from him. You’re protecting him mentally and emotionally, and I promise I will do the same.'‘I know. Paige told me how you shut her mouth and lost your temper when she asked that question,’ Mom chuckled. ‘I
Frederick*I mind-linked Nicole’s bodyguard but couldn’t connect them. Evan sensed the sudden change in mood.“What is it?”“Nicole’s life is in danger,” I said, not mind-linking Nicole. Because doing that meant distracting her, and I didn’t want to do that. Before I could have said it, he quickly mind-linked. Moon Goddess knew whom, but I hoped he would mind-link Aunt Eva.“I’ve mind-linked the guards to reach the cafe as soon as possible.”“What about others? Aunt Eva?” I asked desperately. She was half a vampire. She could reach there within a minute. But I learned that she wasn’t in the pack. In fact, no one was in the pack house right now except for Grandma Emma and Grandpa. Danish and Uncle Daniel were on a hunt, and the other females were also at the packhouse.My jaw clenched upon hearing this. What was the use of leaving her with family when no one was around her when she needed help? I knew I was getting mad at them unnecessarily. But could anyone blame me? I just felt the l
Nicole*As much as I was now relaxed, I didn’t kill Justin, even though I managed to shoot him. None of the family members liked the fact that a dark witch silently observed me. They were strong as well as dangerous. Not to forget, Nonna didn’t have a good track record as well.“Are you in contact with her, Nic?” Frederick asked, to which I shook my head, but when he glared at me, I nodded my head.“I don’t contact her, but whenever she calls me, then I don’t mind receiving her call,” I whispered.“When did you talk with her last time?”“Today,”“Don’t tell me that you talk with her on a daily basis,” he growled at me. Tears dwelled in my eyes out of nowhere. He sighed and pulled me into his arms, and I started sobbing instead of feeling good. “I’m sorry,” he apologized, caressing my hair.“Do you know that Zahara is hospitalized? Her mother told me that she tried to commit suicide by hanging herself in the fan, but I now doubt that, recalling what she did with you that day. " I was t
Nicole*Evan kept grinning like a fool while I fixed my room because it was a total mess, and all thanks to my husband for that.“Help me,” I snapped, to which he dramatically bowed and started folding Frederick’s shirt. I wouldn’t lie, but I was surprised to see that he knew how to do that because he didn’t look like a man who had ever done any household work like those spoiled brats playboy-type people.“You can sit here and relax! I can handle this,” he said, making me sit on the bed as I bent to pick up Frederick’s blazer, which was on the floor. “You can instruct me where I should keep these, okay?” He added next.“I’m impressed that you know something other than using your mouth unnecessarily,” I mocked him.“Well, I’m good at many things, but I’m going to show most of them only to my mate,” he winked. I wouldn’t lie, but my innocent mind, which my man now corrupts, made me think about sex. I shook my head to get rid of that thought.‘Naughty and horny Nicole,’ Anika teased.“I’
