◼Rose POV◼
After my small talk with the witches, I went and look for Nikolas. Jordan also agreed with what the witches told me and told me to go. So now here I am, heading to Nikolas’ kingdom. I was nervous for a reason.
Before leaving, I left Jordan in charge of getting everything settled in the clan and looking for Liam. I haven’t been able to find him. Where was he?
I’ve been racking my mind, but I can’t remember. I felt frustrated because I needed to know what had happened. Then, last night as I was getting ready for bed, I noticed my eyes shifting from color. Grey and black swirl inside me.
I was surprised but knew my monster was around. I have been feeling the twitching in my arm more than usual.
◼Nikolas POV◼ I was utterly shocked. This woman was stronger than anyone I have met. Of course, I had missed a couple of things, like her weapon. But, it still intrigued me about where she got it from. Her weapon wasn’t visible, so where did she hide it? Feeling her whip around my neck had me thinking of a plan to escape. This was no longer Rose but her other personality. As a small light bulb turns on in my head. I let the words slip out. “You… Give Rose back,” I stutter. The whip around my neck tightens. “Hey, freaking monster, let Rose come back, or should I say, let your other personality come out,” I said, smirking. Looking up, I se
◼Rose POV◼ I woke up feeling sore. Lifting my head, I try to look around. I don’t know what time it was, but it was pitch black. It seems I had slept in a lot. Trying to recall what happened, I remember my steamy moment of sex with Nikolas. Blushing, I cover my face with the bedsheets. Then, remembering where I was, I sit up and look to my side. Nikolas laid asleep with his arm extended next to me. The bedsheets just covered his waist. Gulping, I scan his body, my eyes roaming the Greek god that laid next to me. Ripped arms and chest and a sexy v line that made me have naughty thoughts had me feeling flustered. I still couldn’t believe I had sex with him again. But this time, I recalled what happened, and I felt embarrassed. It was different. This felt special.
◼Rose POV◼ Turning over, I feel my side empty. Slowly, I open my eyes and see that I’m alone in bed. Nikolas was now were to be seen. Sighing, I sit up and ruffle my hair. I must look a sexy mess. I didn’t know what time it was, so getting up, I head to the bathroom and take a quick bath. Once out, I remember my dress is destroyed. Looking around, I stare at Nikolas walk in the closet. Wandering around, I get something to wear. Rummaging around, I find a long sleeve shirt that fits me perfectly. Fixing my bra, I dress. Deciding to wear my shoes, I sit on the floor to fix them when something catches my attention. Stopping what I’m doing, I stare at the glass box on a shelf. What was inside the glass box caught my attention so much that it called for me? It entranced me. Slowly I approach it and, touching the box, I see it glint. Were
◼Nikolas POV◼ Hearing that Rose was awake, I headed to the dining room. But didn’t expect her to act scared. Instead, something was on Rose's mind. I don’t know what bothered her, but knowing she didn’t completely push me away calms me. Once my work finished. I headed back to my bedroom. I was eager to see Rose again. Opening the door, I enter quietly. Rose said earlier she was tired, but I froze when I saw what was on my floor. Rose sat on the couch watching tv, like nothing in the world bothered her. “What happened here?” I asked, baffled. “Oh, you’re back?” Rose said as she pops a cookie into her mouth. Frowning, I look at her and the
◼Nikolas POV◼ It was the second day, and I have barely seen Rose. After our small talk two days ago, I haven’t crossed a word with her. However, I would still notice her staring at me from afar. I wished to approach her but was afraid of making her get pissed. What Rose asked for made me think a lot. I couldn’t stop being king. I was the leader; I had a kingdom that depended on me. I knew many of the clan’s favor for Rose in becoming the new queen, but I wasn’t planning on giving up easily. Distracting myself at work, I see it's lunchtime. The guard informed me Rose was in the garden, asleep. I don’t know why she had come, but she had barely done anything. I didn’t dare ask her; she was my mate and having her do what she liked made me
◼Nikolas POV◼ While I was in the meeting, my butler came over to notify me that Rose left the palace grounds. Cullen, seeing my reaction, stopped the discussion. Earlier I had received word from the spies that hunters were roaming the zone. Especially Rose’s clan. I didn’t know if Alpha Maximus had notified her, but I needed to know, so I called him. He was brief, informing me that his men were on the lookout. Hunters were not just on Rose territory, but his. It intrigued me to know why they need to find that treasure. It confused me as to where I would ask Rose about it. Now here I was trying to get ahold of Rose, but she wasn’t answering her phone. I tried calling Alpha Maximus, but it wasn’t going through. Something was telling me that Rose would be in danger. Ordering some of my m
◼Nikolas POV◼ After the news of me being a father, I headed back to my room. Alpha Maximus and Cullen insisted on me resting. I had asked them where Rose was; I needed to see her. But they denied my request. Both of them said it wasn’t time to visit her and it would best for me to recover. When I asked them both how long I’ve been out, they told me it’s been four days. It shocked me knowing that I was unconscious for that long. Cullen had affirmed to me he was handling the palace. No one knew they hurt me or that something happened to Rose. There were enough rumors of Rose being dead, and one more would stir chaos in the vampire’s clan. Cullen also told me Liam was awake and fine. After a long recovery, Liam was back. He was taking care of Rose’s clan and her. Alpha Maximus has briefe
◼Nikolas POV◼ It’s been a week since we had our small talk with Liam. I haven’t been able to see Rose. Last time Liam explained it would be best not to see her, not because she was hurt, but where she was located. It seems Liam was keeping Rose away from everyone’s eyes. The only ones aware of her were Alpha Maximus and Liam himself. He told me once Rose was awake, he would let me know immediately. Rose needed to rest a lot so she could recover. According to Alpha Maximus, when he found Rose, she was on the verge of death. The wound on her chest was so deep and so big that she had bled out. The weapon the person also used had poison and silver. That’s another reason I was healing slowly. The wound had touched Rose’s heart. Making her fall into an immediate coma. It worried me after he
