MATED TO ALPHA KING chapter forty three
Vanessa’s P.O.V “Relax, Vanessa . I’ll answer all your questions, but just one at a time.” Nick said with his soothing and relaxing voice. “And remember, we’re all on the same side now. You made sure of it or have you forgotten.” He continued. How could I forget that I had negotiated a peace treaty between Alpha Marcus and Alpha Ace and their packs . “To be honest, am a bit disappointed, I thought you’d be happier to see me . We shared some good moments back then.” Nick said as he glared into my eyes. “I won’t lie. Am glad that you are here but it is your motive that makes me doubt your presence.” I answered. “You know I’d never do anything that may bring you harm, I just wanted to get closer to you and this was the only way.” He admitted and I could tell he was being genuine. Nick was the only genuine friend I had made over the years and something about him always drew me to him but there was always an obstacle ahead of us. Maybe something about the forbidden fruit made me crave mor

Vanessa’s P.O.VLeah’s wolf was long and lean, nearly twice the size of a normal wolf. It walked low to the ground and was covered in solid black fur that rose up high along its back. Intimidating as the animal was, it wasn’t the size or shape of her wolf that had stopped him, it was the eyes. The way her black eyes glowed among her dark fur was unimaginably horrifying. Looking into those deep black orbs felt like looking into the face of death. It was disturbing and dark and soulless. Even I felt a chill rip through my chest as the beast approached. Suddenly my world began to spin. I had felt something similar before, back when i was taken against my will. I gasped in recognition. He was trying to teleport us out. To where? I didn’t want to find out. “Leah!” she cried. And by the time the word had left her lips, the wolf was already there, sailing through the air. I could feel the heat as the wolf dove above my left shoulder and straight into the face of my captor. The impact k

Vanessa’s P.O.V A tightness formed in my stomach, realizing I had been the one who killed him. “Though they have never attempted to breach the complex before, they’re clearly becoming desperate now. We need a way to secure our borders. I’ve spoken with Aria who believes she knows someone who can help. Aria.” He looked over at the beautiful blonde.“As lycans,” Aria began, “you all have incredible speed and strength. There is no question of how you can handle everyday threats. The Collectors have put us in an interesting position by pitting us against a magic we do not possess. It’s time we started to gathersome magic on our side as well.” Aria’s gaze fell onto me. “While Vanessa is extremely powerful, she is still a new Celestial and cannot be expected to defend us all single-handedly. I will be contacting the local covens in hopes of recruiting new Chosen to our cause. In particular, we are seeking someone who can draw wards to defend our building. This would keep the Collectors fr

By the time Vanessa crawled into bed, she was exhausted. Nick remained in an armchair in the corner of the room, insisting he needed very little sleep as a lycan. Vanessa was too tired to fight him, and sleep soon overtook her. She was running through the cave, screams echoing around her. She saw swirling white eyes in the dark, a voice overhead. “If she doesn’t change soon, she’s of no use to us.” Another scream rang through the air. Ice crawled up Vanessa’s arms, leaving behind bubbled flesh. Something glowed in the distance. A cold breath whispered in her ear, “Soon you’ll belong to me.” Vanessa shot awake, gasping for breath. Nick was on her in seconds. He planted his hands on either side of her shoulders. “It was just a dream,” he soothed. Tears streamed down Vanessa’s cheeks. They sparkled then froze in place. “They’re coming for me,” she sobbed. “I could feel it. They’re trying to get to me. He said it, he said…” Nick pulled her to his chest. She leaned into him, and cried.

Vanessa was returned to her apartment by Leah. Nick apparently had to take care of some things for the Alpha. A few minutes later, she heard a knock at the door. Her heart beat wildly as she pulled it open. Instead of Nick, a squealing Aria came running inside. “What an exciting day!” She grabbed Vanessa by the hands and walked her over to the couch. “So tell me about this Traveler. He’s a gypsy right? Is he cute? Can he teleport anywhere? Maybe he’ll teleport me out of here so I can finally get some…” Aria was speaking so quickly, Vanessa didn’t even have time to respond. “Speaking of which.” Aria’s eyes glittered, “So you and Nick, huh?” She stared at Vanessa eagerly. “Please, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Aria tilted her head, those deep blue eyes burning straight into Vanessa’s guilty soul. “Okay, fine!” Vanessa relented. “Some stuff happened.” “Eeep!” Aria squealed. “I need to know everything, all the juicy details!” There was another knock at the door. “But first…

Vanessa awoke the next morning with a terrible headache. She was still dressed in yesterday’s clothes. Flashbacks of takeout and sake bombs came flooding back. I’m going to kill Aria , she thought as she staggered toward the kitchen. Water was the only thing on her mind right now. Using her powers, Vanessa created a small, packed handful of ice. Holding it to her throbbing head, she crawled out of the bedroom. “Good morning, drunkface!” chirped a cheerful, and seemingly un-hungover Aria. “Geez!” Vanessa startled, her heart beating a million miles a second. Adrenaline jumpstarted Vanessa’s body and mind. “What are you doing here?” Aria only smiled one of those gorgeous pearly-teeth smiles. “I stayed the night, silly! You slept in, so I went and got us donuts!” Vanessa sighed and let out a grumbled string of curses while also including the words Aria, sake, and no more girls’ nights. Aria only laughed. “It’s so easy to forget you’re not a lycan! My metabolism basically burns off the a

It was then that Vanessa noticed the two women next to Laurie. One was an elderly woman, her skin wrinkled and drawn. Long grey hair trailed down her back. A variety of glittering rings covered her arthritic fingers. Though the body had aged, her bright mossy eyes gleamed with vitality. Next to her was a younger woman, probably near Vanessa’s age. She had soft-looking red hair that fell past her shoulders, and striking turquoise eyes. The fiery-red hair and brilliant eyes shone brightly against her pale, freckled skin. She was one of the most unique-looking people Vanessa had ever seen. “Please give a warm welcome to Matlena and Brona. They have come to help us strengthen the complex and protect those within it.” The older woman’s gaze moved to Vanessa. She studied her carefully. Vanessa did not feel the need to look away. A maternal energy radiated from the woman they called Matlena. She spoke with strength behind her aging face. “We are glad to be here and happy to help in this ma

That wasn’t what made Vanessa’s jaw drop. The room was made entirely of glass. It extended beyond the building walls and onto a gorgeous glass overhang. Vanessa walked to the edge of the glittering balcony and looked up. Encased completely in its transparent material, she could see an expanse of soft blues and fluffy white clouds. It was almost like being outside as she stared up at the sunny Georgia sky. “What is this place?” Vanessa asked with wonder. “It was Marcus’s mother’s. She loved all things green.” There was a sadness in Nick’s voice. They took a seat on a small stone bench as they began to eat their sandwiches and fruit. “What was she like?” Vanessa asked between bites. “Marcus’s mother, I mean.” Nick smiled. “She was beautiful and kind. There was a gentleness to her nature, and at the same time a deep strength. She was generous, and just, but she also didn’t take any shit from the Alpha or anyone else.” “Hmm sounds a lot like Aria, minus the foul mouth and no filter.”

The other lycans began to pay attention, calling out to her. She coated fur in ice, and slid frozen weapons in the direction of any lycan in human form who could wield one. The high body temperature of the lycans meant they quickly burned through their frosty axes and swords. Vanessa was working overtime. She began to feel drained and depleted. Her arms were heavy and her body began to feel cold within. Nick ’s wolf watched her intently. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He darted away and into the entrance of the complex, and just as Vanessa was beginning to think she had used up her powers completely, a wave of warmth and energy surged through her. She turned to see Laurie, her blonde brow furrowed in deep concentration. She gave Vanessa a small smile and nod. Lance’s wolf circled Laurie protectively. He did not look one bit happy about this arrangement. Nick returned to Vanessa’s side, ready for another round of ice. She called upon her powers and this time they returned. T

“Aria!” Vanessa yelled. Where had they gone? Where had he taken her? Magic flooded her veins. Without another thought, she hurled a wave of ice toward the disgusting bald man. It hit him with such force that his body flew up and straight through one of the glass walls that made up the complex’s entryway. He hit the stone steps outside with an audible crash and did not move again. As Vanessa turned her gaze she caught sight of Nick . His eyes met with hers and she opened her mouth to speak. Before she could warn him, the air around them crackled. An army of Collectors appeared. A large group surrounded the outer lobby while a small group appeared within the lobby itself. Fear struck Vanessa so strongly she could barely think. The lycans reacted in an instant. Some chose to shift into their wolves, while others remained in human form and used the weapons they had in hand. Leah dove at the Collector nearest to Vanessa, shifting into her lean black wolf in midair. The man screeched as s

Vanessa felt so helpless up here. She understood their reasoning, but still wanted to do more. For now she would have to wait, pray, and hope everyone was safe down below. T he lycans worked efficiently. They had been able to assemble their teams and lock down the complex within half an hour. It was a reminder to Nick of why they trained so hard and how important it was to do so. After securing the inside perimeter, they went outdoors. The scene that met the lycan teams looked like something out of a horror film. The second Nick exited the complex his senses were assaulted by the smell of blood and decaying flesh. The victims were scattered all around the property. The first girl he saw was a small, young brunette. She had long dark hair and large blue eyes that stared up at him accusingly. Her body was so badly mangled that he couldn’t have guessed the original color of clothes she was currently wearing. Deep crimson covered her broken form. The lifeless woman lay at an unnatural an

“Don’t worry about Aria.” He spoke in a gentle tone. “We have plenty of time before we need to think about kids. Let’s just enjoy tonight and worry about all of that later.” His breath was coming out in frosty puffs now. “I can’t do it,” Vanessa said. “Can’t do what?” She finally turned from the window to look at him. “I can’t have kids with you. I can’t do it. I won’t do it.” Nick looked stunned. “Why are you saying this?” Tears streamed down Vanessa’s cheeks. “Do you think I want to have little monsters? To bring them into this world?” “Monsters?” echoed Nick , his jaw tensing. “Yes, monsters! What do you think would happen if we have kids?” Nick was quiet. His eyes burned into hers. “I didn’t realize having lycan children would be so unappealing to you.” Vanessa stared at him, his words catching her off guard. “I guess lycans are good enough to save you, train you, and fuck you. God forbid you have a lycan ‘monster’ child of your own.” There was so much venom in his tone

He gave her a mischievous smirk. “You’ll see.” Vanessa let out a small sound of protest. “First, you need to take a shower and get ready for dinner.” “Dinner?” she asked. He nodded. “Dinner, at Alpha Marcus ’s place.” Vanessa couldn’t hide her surprise. “In the penthouse? But why?” Instead of answering, Nick bent down to capture Vanessa’s lips in a deep kiss. She felt dizzy as he pulled away. “No more questions. I’ll pick you up at seven thirty,” he said as he dropped her off at her door. He bent to give Vanessa one last kiss. “You’re not coming in?” She frowned. “I’ve got to meet with Aria. She’s been bombarding me with party planning all day.” Vanessa laughed. “She can be very persistent.” “Yes she can be.” Nick rubbed his temples. “I’ll be back at seven thirty.” “See you then.” She watched him head down the hallway, his tall frame moving with long purposeful strides. Damn he looked good from behind, from the front, in a suit, in his sweats, in nothing at all. Nick stopped

Vanessa shook her head. “The Collectors are looking for me. We can’t leave the complex. We can’t go outside Matlena’s wards.” “We’re not leaving the complex. Lucky for us there is a gorgeous unused banquet hall right here in the building!” “What? Why is there a banquet hall at Ulric?” Nick was the one who answered this time. “There are often times when Alpha Marcus is forced to entertain other large partners, businesses, and even other Alphas visiting the territory.” He grimaced. “Not to mention a surprise visit from the Infernal Council.” Aria clapped her hands together excitedly. “Exactly. All we need to do is give it a few decorations and voila!” Vanessa could tell by the way Aria said ‘a few’ decorations that it would be anything but a small amount of decor. Aria had a flair for the dramatic, and Vanessa could only imagine what kind of over-the-top antics were in store. Nick put up a hand to stop Aria from saying more. “We can’t just let a bunch of florists and caterers into

“Hello again, Ice Queen.” Lucas gave her a warm smile. He was awfully dreamy with his blond hair and Aussie accent. It was a stark contrast to Nick ’s jet-black locks, which Vanessa preferred. “I hope you’re ready for today’s lesson.” He gestured toward the vast collection of swords, knives, crossbows, and other weaponry. “Honestly this is not my area of expertise.” Vanessa laughed. “I don’t think I’ve ever used anything in this room. You really think I’ll have access to all these types of weapons in the middle of a real fight?” He cocked a blond eyebrow in Vanessa’s direction. “You don’t need access to them. All you need is to know a little bit about their make-up, and how to use them.” Lucas continued, “Vanessa, I think we can channel your powers. If you could learn to give shape to your ice, like you do with the shards, you could be capable of making any type of weapon at will.” Vanessa felt a rush of nervous energy. “You want me to make weapons out of ice? What if I can’t do it

As do you.” Nick felt the air around him shift from anger to sadness. “Your mate is out there. I’m sure of it. You will have what I have, but it will not be with Vanessa.” A dry chuckle escaped Alpha Marcus ’s lips. “It makes sense why my wolf never took to her. The damn thing has been unbearable recently.” “Give it time. She’s out there.” “We will see.” The air of the office lightened significantly. “Are we good?” Alpha Marcus nodded. “We’re good.” T he following morning came too soon. Nick had planted a quick kiss on her sleepy lips before slipping out early to meet Alpha Marcus . Vanessa was so content with Nick that she found it easy to forget all about the Collectors and the turmoil they caused. About an hour after Nick left, she got up to use the bathroom and found a small wrapped package on the sink. She opened it and gasped at what she found inside. A note read, ‘For my silver-haired goddess. It belonged to my grandmother. I can’t imagine a better use for it than brushin

Nick …” she whimpered. “Please.” He brought his mouth up to capture her lips in a feverish kiss. Nick released his hold on her wrists, quickly unbuttoning his pants as he discarded them with ease. Staring deep into Vanessa’s green-grey eyes, he planted his hands firmly on the backs of her thighs and lifted her off the floor. Vanessa wrapped her legs around his waist, as he pressed her back harder up against the wall. She rocked back and forth, the friction between them feeling delicious and tortuous at the same time. Nick reached a hand between her thighs and guided his tip to her entrance. Without waiting for him, Vanessa pressed her hips up and forward, burying his hard length inside her. Nick growled and gripped her hips more tightly. Slowly, he began to move in and out. The rhythm continually increased as Vanessa gripped his shoulders and begged for more. The sensation of fullness when Nick was inside was absolutely mind blowing. She buried her hands in his shaggy, jet-black hai
