Nick's POV
I never knew you had such a really cute cousin,” Ella said flirtatiously while batting her eyes sexily at me.
Me, cute? I pondered within me! L while trying to hide the stupid cocky smile that lingered at my side lips. Well, that's a first. I wonder if she will still think so if she gets to know who I am.
That I was born a bastard.
“hi my name is Bella, she said extending her hand for a handshake.
“Hi” I replied as I stretched my hand to join hers in a friendly handshake, well at least that was what I thought, till I felt her thumb caressing the back of my hand.
My eyes lingered a moment on her thumb before stylishly pulling my hand out of hers.
“do you mind joining us later today at my house, I'm organizing a little get-together” she quickly added, even though I think she looked great but I found myself not feeling her vibes?
Nevertheless, I was not going to turn down
Kyle's POVAs we walked quietly to Bella's house, I couldn't help but notice the storm of emotions going through my body. The intense desire to be protective of the bastard. I certainly do not understand why I felt this way and I was doing all I could to keep my emotions in check.His walking closely behind me did not help my course, his scent was the only thing that enveloped my entire nostrils, and each breath I took in made me hunger more for his scent.All I wanted to do is be wrapped up in his big strong hands all day and stare into his deep mysterious hazel eyes. I kept reminding myself that he was my brother and that it was wrong of me to be having this type of thought towards him. My heartache each time I thought of him as a brother and it drove me nuts.My entire thinking faculty was a mess.Maybe it is a good thing that Bella likes him, I know too well than to touch anything or anyone that belongs to her.
Miranda's POV"stupid dumb motherfuckers, how could you have left him there, where the fuck is he right now?" I snared at the stupid werewolf hunters who I gave the simple task of eliminating the bastard.How could they have been so clumsy to leave his dead body out in the open?It's been two good weeks since I told them to find the remains of the bastard, two good weeks and they came back with nothing. How the hell am I even sure that he is dead."I'm sorry ma, we thought that leaving his body for the wild beast to clean up would be a perfect idea and that might have been what happened," one of the hunters said in a calm submissive voice."you should have waited for that to happen to make certain that it did happen and not make up mere assumptions" I scolded them as if they were kids.I was so freaking furious, a little mistake can ruin everything I have worked so hard for over the years to build. I do know for sure
Nick's POVThe last two weeks have been anything but fun. Kyle has been avoiding me like a plague and it hurts.I'm like a dog impatiently staring at a juicy bone but can't have a bite from it. I thought that as each day passes by, she will come to know me more and understand the fact that I have nothing but genuine love to offer her. But, for every step I take closer to her, she takes several steps backward from me.I don't understand because I can see that she likes me a whole lot, I don't know why she is fighting it. I sighed tiredly as I threw the stone I was holding into the woods, my head was beginning to spin from all the thoughts going on inside.It was a beautiful evening just before sunset, I was sitting on a wooden chair outside the house. I have long decided that I will be going back to my old pack to check up on Simeon. There is this little spark of hope within me that he is alive somewhere.I have even tried mi
Kyle's POVHave you ever felt your heart yawn for something, someone, just anything that your heart desperately needs? But you can't get it, even though it is so close to your fingertips?You know so well that it is wrong to try to get it and yet your heart tells you to go for it. My heart, body and all within me craves for the bastard even though he is the son of my mother.I don't understand why I am having these abominable thoughts towards him. I want to run very far away from him and yet I want him so close. I most times pretend not to be affected by his gazes, his gentle touch, and his husky voice. But in reality, I want to kiss him and have his hands around me.I have not for once forgotten the kiss we both shared on the night we were coming back from Bella's house. His lips were full, soft, warm, and satisfying.I have never kissed a man other than the one that is a jerk of a boy called Richard. But with the bastard, I am ready t
Nick's POV “It's Miranda, and you know very well why she would be after you,” I said to Kyle while locking eyes with her. It seems my words had more effect on Kyle than I anticipated as she looked like someone who has just been thrown into outta space. The mention of the name Miranda has always had the type of effect on the people of our pack. People back at the pack dreaded her name like a plague and the reason is not far-fetched. But I use to think that Miranda and Kyle were friends or that they had some sort of understanding. “You never got to tell me why you left the packhouse and what you were doing at the spot you found me?” I said to Kyle, who seem lost in thought. I figured there has to be a reason as to why Miranda is all out to get her. If Miranda in any way bought kyle's story of being Richards' mate, then Miranda won't stop till she has seen gotten hold of her. “I told you I was coming to see my mother,” a pissed-off Kyle snared at
Nick's POVIt was sometime midnight and I was sleeping on the couch when I heard someone gasping and groaning in pain. I opened my eyes and listened to where the sound was coming from, only to notice that the sound was coming from Kyle's room.I panicked and quickly rushed over to her room to see Vanessa, I mean my mother applying some herbs all over Kyle trembling body. “What's going on?” I asked as I move closer to her bedside. Kyle was gasping and stretching so vigorously and Vanessa was doing all she could to stabilize her.“She is having one of her seizures,” Vanessa said, while still busy with what she was doing“How can I help,” I asked in fear“Hold her both legs together very tight, don't worry she would be fine soon” she replied quickly.After about five to ten minutes later, which is an actual sense felt like years later. Kyle was peacefully asleep. I let ou
Nicks POVIt's been two days since we started waiting for Kyle to return home. Vanessa said that Kyle was fond of running away from home and that she would return soon. I don't know why she would want to run away now that people I suspect are working for Miranda are looking for her everywhere.My heart tells me she is in some sort of danger and the fact that we have not been able to see her through Vanessa's magic mirror sort of confirms my fears.Vanessa said that she has always been keeping track of Kyle's movement over the years through the help of the magic mirror and she finds it odd that this is not the case this time. She said the only place that Kyle can be without being seen must be heavily rooted in dark magic.I have tried tailing her scent but the air is as clear as a crystal. There is no iota of her present anywhere around the little town.The other person that came to my mind was Harry, I have seen and spoken with hi
Nicks POV “How long do we have more to get there? Have you ever been there? How dangerous are those men? Do you know I can turn anyone into anything I want?” Harry kept asking over and over again. The dude talks too damn much, his voice was seriously driving me nuts. “Remind me once more why you are carrying so many loads in your bag,” I said to Harry who was panting heavily behind me. I could tell he was very tired from how lazily he was dragging his feet from behind me. If his legs were tired, his mouth seems not to share from that tiredness as he has been talking none stop. I was beginning to regret the decision of allowing him to come with me. His backpack was filled to the brim like one going on a long vacation. “I will need most of the things in my bag for casting and breaking spells,” he said while trying to catch his breath. I wonder the spells he plans on breaking, only if he knows that magic and any sort of witchc
Nick's POV“Be gentle with her” I shouted at the nurses while they wheeled Kyle to the delivery room.I have been told that she was having contractions and that was why she was in so much pain.I had previously told kyle that we should use magic to minimize the pains, but she had outrightly rejected that offer.I hate to see her in so much pain.We had an eventful evening yesterday, only to wake up to a scream from her this morning. I was beyond stunned to see that she woke up in terrible pain.One of the reasons I was surprised, was that we were not expecting the kids in another two to three weeks.I asked her what was wrong and she said her water had broken, at first I didn't understand what she meant until she almost ripped my flesh out from her tight hold.“The babies are coming” she groaned and that was all the switch my brain needed to start calling everyone for help.The hospital emerge
Six Months LaterKyle's POVWho knew being pregnant with a twin baby could be so much fun and exhausting.It's amazing how the journey to motherhood transforms and elevates one's body, mind, and soul.With just six months gone, my bump is so huge that you would mistake me for someone giving birth in the next one hour.I have had my potions of fainting spells, terrible mood swings, vomiting, cravings, and all you can imagine. It's a miracle that I have not added up much weight. We are having twin boys and we are yet to decide their names. Nick is going overboard buying every single thing tagged Mother care in all the maternity shops.He spends every opportunity he gets with me, talking with his babies in my Tommy. They have grown so used to his voice that they always kick whenever they hear him talk.The entire pack is excited and lots of people have been sending in gifts from different places.We hav
Nick's POVI stood up from the chair I had barely sat on for thirty seconds, to start walking the reception hall of our pack hospital aimlessly.If my fingers could pull out my hair, it would have, due to the countless number of times I had run my fingers through it. The doctors and nurses were running around, and the wait to know what was happening was killing me.What happened to her, has she been poisoned and who did this? These and other questions rushed through my mind.I will not spare anyone who dares me, I will not rest until I see such a person entire linage wiped away from the surface of the earth.Simeon stood looking speechless and nervous. His head is tilted up with his back resting against a wall.He had rushed down to the hospital as soon as he heard Kyle was not feeling well.It's been fucking one hour since we arrived and no one has told us anything as regards her condition. I can see tension a
Nick's POVThe party was going on smoothly as everyone was seen having fun. Some of the various heads from the other packs are seen talking in groups while others just enjoyed the flow of the party. I have been told there were a few humans in the party that came for some adventure. Humans normally do not pose a threat, but vampires we can't tolerate.Those peeps have a messed-up appetite, one minute you are their friend, and the next you are their meal.I know they can't harm me, so also my mate. But, for the safety of my pack members, they are not welcome.I had specially made sure that 'vampires not allowed' signs were up at the various entrance.The party was split into two, one was been held in the Pack hall, while the other was been held outside the hall.The one in the hall was mostly attended by the elders and leaders of the packs under my rule, while the party outside was specifically for the young and carefree.
Nick's POVA week has passed since I returned from the cursed mountains and the pack has gradually begun rebuilding itself.A lot of things have changed since we got back, a few people who felt they needed to go their way were given the opportunity of leaving but with the option of never returning.These categories of people were mostly those who had a strong tie with either Miranda or Richard.We are also yet to hear from Richard and Bella and it is safe to safe that they are gone for good.Harry has since returned to the human territory as he needed to see his mum and tell her a final goodbye as he has decided to come live in the pack with us.We are still trying to help Simeon get back his tongue, but he honestly is getting so good with his sign language. He also can communicate efficiently now with his mind link as he has let go of much of the trauma he suffered.I guess the feeling of having your best frie
Nick's POVAfter six days of traveling none stop, we were tired. But we finally got to the cursed mountains just in time to see Black and his entourage arrive.I had traveled along with Harry, while Simeon and Kyle stayed back to protect the pack and to free all those that have been wrongly imprisoned by Miranda.I don't know how, but Black has managed to recruit more rogues as the men with him numbered over a hundred.The untamed beast barked viciously at us as soon as they spotted us. Their eyes feasted on us as prey to their predator.“So what do we do now,” simeon asked in a shaky voice.No one needs to be told that Harry has never been to a battle, his trembling and shaking legs give him away so easily.“I thought you knew everything,” I said to him teasingly.“Yeah, I do, but you are the leader here,” he said taking steps behind me.Honestly, the bravest of hearts would faint at the sight of thes
Nick's POV “How can you not recognize me, you scum,” the old man said, as he stared at us with his eyes wide open and his eyebrows raised.I looked at Kyle to see if she knew the old man, but it appears she was as completely lost as I was. I was puzzled as to why this old man was insisting I knew him when in reality I had no fucking idea who he was.Maybe he thinks I am his long-lost son. But fuck it, he is old enough to be my great grandfather.“Humans are so predictable but, never did I imagine that wolves could forget an act of kindness in such a hurry,” he screamed at our faces, groaning and sighing dramatically.Honestly, I was getting bored of his melodrama as I still had a lot of things to take care of. One of wish was to find Harry and bury Miranda.Meanwhile, our dear squirrel was busy making all the squirming sounds in the world.“Please can you let the squirrel go?” I asked as I felt that poor Simeo
Kyle's POV“Mother!”I screamed unconsciously as I saw Miranda lying in a pool of her blood.Richard was holding a bloody wood with both hands while towering over Miranda who lay down lifelessly.Bella stood right beside him wearing an evil smile. I saw her mumble some inaudible words to Richard, while he continued his onslaught on his mother.Miranda was not moving and I feared the worst. Richard continued hitting Miranda on the floor, and Bella was doing nothing to stop him.My presence did not deter them.I ran towards them as fast as my legs could carry me. As soon as I was closer to them, Bella threw me a magic spell which I quickly stopped with the wave of my hand.She seemed surprised that I was able to stop her evil strike and her once confident face turned red. She looked at me angrily as I rushed over to where Miranda was and discovered she was dead. I came late.“Why did y
Miranda's POVThere was a lot of commotion in the hall and even though some of the guests appeared to be terrified of the rogues, they still could barely keep their cool.Such is expected as everyone would have wanted to see me announce Richard as the incubate king. But then, many of the alpha leaders would have objected and thereafter declare their intention of becoming the alpha king.I do not trust black, but that does not mean I should delve into a deep blue sea, unsure of what I would find.There is a popular saying that the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know.I looked at Richard and all I could see in his eyes was pure anger. I felt utterly stupid for what I have done, as I felt that I should have told him first. But the truth is, I hardly ever see him these days. Ever since that witch girl called bella came into his life, he barely has time for me, his mother.They are either shopping or picni
