Klaus POV.
“I'm sorry but I can't let you through.” Another guard said. “We can't let dogs like you run free here.”
If they called us dogs one more time, I'll have their heads off their bloody necks and hang them on the spear they held.
A scent that has become so familiar waffled through me, calming my anger. She walked into the hall with a dozen women trailing after her.
“You are not supposed to be here Davina. Your father doesn't want us near these dogs.” The older woman beside her said to Davina.
I watched Davina suck in a breath and turned to her angrily. “How can you all be so heartless? My father's commands already show that he wants peace. As his daughter, I-”
Her words got stuck in her throat and I watched her face pale, a gunshot pierced through air and I turned sharply. Nicholas held a gun to the head of the guards that stopped us from getting out.
A smirk curled on my lips.
The women screeched and sped out of the hall, but she remained still. Her eyes widened in shock.
“Alpha, the exit doors are all blocked with guards.” Dean, one of my scouts reported.
“How many of them ?”
“Fifteen guards at each door alpha.” Dean informed me.
There was no way I was risking the life of my men, today. On a normal day, we could be ready for battle on a full scale. Nathaniel had one of us captured, and I am quite certain that would be a leverage against us.
If only…
“Nicholas…” My mate called my name, her tone judgemental. “What are you doing?”
I stalked closer to her, holding her shoulders firmly yet calmly with both of my hands. “I promise you we don't want trouble, but your father has been pushing us to the extreme, time after time.”
She considered my words, a shimmer of understanding sparkled in her eyes. “I'd that guy really sick or it was just a pretense to get out of here.”
I pulled my hands away sharply, remembering the poison. If not for Nicholas' warning, we could have been dead on the floor right now. Something far worse than just a show of pretense.
“The food you served.” I paused, considering her emotions. I couldn't get too soft, this might even be part of their plan. “It was poisoned.”
“Poisoned?” She stumbled backwards, confusion etched on her face. “What poison? I watched them prepare and serve it.”
I frowned. “You didn't know? You're telling me that you didn't know your father planned to kill us by infusing wolfsbane in our food?”
“No! I swear, I don't know.” She whispered, shaking her head furiously. How bad I wanted to reach out to her and comfort her. But for some reasons, I believed her. If she said she didn't know, she truly didn't.
“It's fine.” I caressed her cheek,relief washing through her.
“Why were you looking at me back there?” She asked.
Smiling, I said; “Do I look familiar to you? Or you have this longing to be by my side and always have my attention, like you were doing back there?’
Her face turned a bright shade of red. She nodded and a spark of electricity flooded through me at her admission. I wanted to take her right here and mark her as mine, but I need to get my men out of here first.
And with the plan I had, I would be having Davina by my side longer than I imagined.
“Is there a way out without guards hoisting at the door?”
She considered a bit before nodding.
“Follow me.” I ordered my men with a wave of my hand and they trailed after us. Grabbing Davina by her hands, I increased the pace as she gave us directions.
I knew by now Nathaniel would have known about our escape and litters of guards would literally be everywhere, ready to shoot. But I bet if he saw his daughter, he wouldn't.
“Let me go, I have led you to the door.” She struggled against my hold, but I held her firmly.
“I won't let you go, mate.” My velvety murmur floated between us. I picked her up from her waist carrying her against my chest.
“Break the door!”
Nicholas charged forward, ripping the door off its hinges.
I walked forward into the open air, Davina firmly against my chest. As I already suspected, about forty armed guards were littered around the courtyard. Armed to the teeth.
Davina stilled in my arms, upon realizing what was going on.
“You are holding me hostage to get to my father?”
“No Davina. I would never do that, but I just want to get out of here safely and get my cousin back.” I said truthfully.
“Don't you dare take a shoot!” Nathaniel's voice boomed. I let go of Davina, but still held her tightly.
“What did you do, Father?” She asked to my surprise. It only meant my little mate wasn't aware of her father's plans. While Nathaniel and I exchanged glares, my men moved towards our cars, getting in.
“Let my daughter go, I'll give you anything you want.” Nathaniel.sad unbelievably.
A dark chuckle escaped me. “You think I'll believe you again Nathaniel? You poisoned our food with the only thing that can kill us . And you want me to let her go? I am not doing that.”
“Remember we have Cole with us.”
“And remember, I have your daughter with me. He dies, and she dies.”
Davina gasped beside me, fidgeting with fear.
“Bastards!” Nathaniel growled. “I should have killed you on the spot the moment you stepped your cursed foot on my land.”
“Mind your words Nathaniel.” I urged sarcastically. “Let us leave, alive and young daughter stays alive too.”
I didn't tell him I'll be releasing Davina after. She was my mate, and I would keep her with me. Far away from her father.
Davina Pov.I was still in a state of shock, my whole body resisting the command I gave it. Klaus, the supposedly Alpha of the werewolves, was drawn to me? A pathetic human lady?His gaze ignited sparks through my body. My body reacted in accord to his mere eyes roaming and exploring different parts of my body.My eyes grew wide as I stared at the mansion-like building in front of me. How could a mansion housing werewolves be so grand ? I expected houses, dirt and smoke everywhere with falling buildings.I never expected it to be so grand."We are here." His deep velvety voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I finally understood what was going on here. I have been captured by the supposed man who aroused me in ways I couldn't speak. "Are you going to get down or wait for me to carry you down?" Another sharp voice that belonged to a blonde haired with faintly similar characteristics with Klaus told me harshly."Watch your tone, Nicholas." Klaus growled, like a real actual growl that had
Klaus.Control. I fought so hard to keep myself under check as her scent tempted me. She was under my roof and my care and burying myself deep into her till we became one was more of a priority than the meeting I was in now.Nicholas was currently telling my most trusted men all that transpired in the morning. From his point of view, Davina was the key culprit. He found every means to demean and objectify her, and I won't have any of that."That's enough." I said firmly, all attention pouring on me. "We should be focused on how to get Cole out of their grasp. We have his daughter, I believe Nathaniel would be reasonable." "And are you skipping the fact you are giving her preferential treatment?" Nicholas pressed on intentionally. "Davina is supposed to be tortured, evidence of her pain would be sent to her father and I bet we would get Cole out of there.""I won't let you torture my mate." Gasps and murmurs filled the room. It escaped my mind that no one was aware Davina was my mate
Davina Pov.Honestly, I never thought I'd be at ease in Klaus pack. Though I haven't met everyone here, Rose has been exceptionally kind and good to me, along with Carson.Except Lucas. He hated me and he made no effort to hide it. Being in the enemies pack, I wasn't expected to be loved and act like I was Klaus' bride even though he made it seem so.The door to the room I stayed pushed open, revealing a grumpy Lucas.“Get up, the Alpha wants to see you.” He said monotonously.My heart skipped as I sat up on the bed, “Why?”“I am not here to answer your question.” He replied maliciously. “It's either you get up willingly or I force you.” I didn't like the latter. Lucas doesn't look like someone who jokes with things like this. If he says he's gonna force me, hell he'll do it. I got willingly and let him lead the way.He led me to an open room. Nicholas fixed an angry gaze at me the moment I walked in and Klaus looked at me with so much desire that I almost stumbled on my feet.“Get y
Davina Pov.I have never been kissed in such manner, he pulled me against his warm and hard body structure. My ice cold blood was warmed by him, and a euphoric swirl erupted from the bottom of my abdomen traveling to the mound between my legs.“Mine.” He growled again, passion slipping out from his tone.I tugged on his collar for stamina as I kissed back, his mouth took control. I was not a werewolf, but the heat and flames burning between us was so enthralling. I have never felt this with any of my exes.I felt empty the moment he pulled away, his hooded gaze filled with desire. He took hold of my hand, leading me out of the hall room. His hands were firmly on my lower back, drawing circles with his index.When we reached the door of the room I stayed, he dragged in and shut it loudly. He pulled me again for another kiss, like he has always wanted to do. “Klaus, I can't-”“Oh yes you can mate.” He growled against my lips, swallowing all my uncertainties. “Let me help you get rid of
Davina Pov.I haven't seen Klaus for days after he stormed out of my room. His anger and broken exterior made my heart squeeze with guilt. I was defending a man who was a cold blooded killer with the tag name of ‘my father’.I never knew he killed Klaus’ parents, the mayors of Riverdale just to become the next mayor. It all made sense now, from his hatred against the wolves to the anger Klaus bore for him.“I wonder why the Alpha is keeping her here.” I heard voices outside my door, the moment I walked out to look for Klaus.“This is the first time I have seen Alpha Klaus so vulnerable.” A voice I recognize as Lucas's told his partner.“If not for my respect for the Alpha, I would have killed her with my bare hands.” A chill ran through my spine making my body numb, my face heated so much that my eyes watered.The sign of the door opening had me sprinting to the window , hiding my tears as I stared at the blank sky.“Here you go, princess.” Lucas said with disdain. I knew he hated me
Klaus POV.An angry growl escaped my lips the moment I set my eyes on my traitorous step-brother.“How dare you show up here?” I growled, already closing the room in anger. Nicholas jumped in my front with his hands spread out preventing me from hitting the idiot.“Calm down, Klaus.” Nicholas said, his hands still out. My growl didn't stop either, I wanted to rip the fuckers head off his body.“Why are you protecting him?” I asked my siblings, appauled at their poor decision. He left us for dead and now he was right in front of me offering to him. “You really think he is here to help the pack? He is here for his selfish reasons. Why are you so blind?!” Sandra stepped in, stress evident in her expressions. Her brown eyes looked tired as she spoke.“I know he deserves whatever hate you throw at him.” She started, throwing a glare at Vincent who dared to grin.Why again were they keeping me from tearing his head off his body?She continued. “The case at hand is beyond our personal grudg
Davina Pov.Every morning I wake up I can't help the chills and nervousness that flutters through my stomach. I was in a state of constant trepidation, I was barely aware of anything happening around me anymore.Not to talk of mh longing to see Klaus. Everything about him pulled me into the trance he created my kissing me, touching me in ways no man has.Somone knocked at the door.“I'm coming.” I answered, getting on my feet. While I was busy adjusting my eyes to the darkness, Lucas flung the door open angrily. His nose flared as he flicked the light on.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” He growled. His slid the tray of food to my feet, as he shut the door.I was stunned, lost for words. I shivered at his huge and bulk figure.“I'm sorry, I couldn't see.” “Hell yeah! You couldn't see or you just love taking what's not yours!” He yelled angrily.I frowned at his accusations. “I don't know what I have done to get on your nerves this morning, but I really was trying to get the door a
CHAPTER 13 - DAVINA POV.I stood in my dimly lit room, my heart racing as I faced the last person I wanted to see - Vincent. I knew my father's connection with the werewolves. I was raised behind the high walls of my father's mansion and wasn't even allowed to have any contact with the supernatural beings.Vincent was my boyfriend for three years and he never mentioned anything about werewolves or being in the know of them. Vincent wasn't a wolf, so what was he doing here?This was Klaus' inner chamber, for him to get here... I dragged my gaze up to his face.He smirked, his eyes gleaming sinisterly. "I'm here to see you, Davina."I frowned, incredulous. "How did you even get in here?""I told you I would always find my way to you." He joked.Before I could process my thoughts, I slapped him, anger boiling over. "I don't care how you got here, I don't want to see you. You broke me and went on with your life. Leave!"My chest heaved as I glared hard at him, my fists clenched. I was ov
