NIKOLAI"I have to believe that you can be able to stay here on your own?" I said softly, as I opened the door to Andrea’s room.Her fingers softly slid away from mine, at the same moment that our eyes met. I sighed as I stepped closer to her, my fingers lightly touching her hair a bit. Her yellow eyes were so low, and it broke me a bit. How I wish I could protect her from everything."I would be fine, Nikolai. You don’t need to worry about me so much," she whispered.I gave a soft nod. "I’m not too worried because I know that you can take perfectly good care of yourself. Its’s the one thing that I really love about you."Andrea stepped back from me as she tried hard to maintain her composure. "We would talk later. You can go," she managed.I wanted to plead with her even more, but she slowly closed the door. My hands slowly moved to the handle of the door, but all I could hear were her silent tears. I sanely wished that I could go to her in my wolf form. But, it was useless because I
ANDREA'What should we do now? Go for a run?' Kezav mumbled through the mind-link.I sighed as I looked out of my window. I was quite aware that my maids were seated on the floor, waiting for my orders, but it seemed as though they had come for someone else. Maybe, that run might help to pull me back to reality?I wasn’t so sure, but I could only hope that this was the case with me. With a sigh, I turned around and noted that the three had their heads down with their hands busily passing the needle and thread. They were always stitching something. It was insane sometimes."Lily," I whispered, breaking through the quietness.She looked up at once, her hands stalling. "Yes, Luna," she said as she tried to rise to her feet.I signalled for her to sit back. "If anyone asks of me, kindly inform them that I’m at the forest region. There are a lot of things that I need to handle these days. I hope that would be ok by you?" I asked softly."But, would we be...""No!" I said absently. Moving o
ANDREA"Have you gone mad?" Lady Meade screamed at me.I glared at her as I made my way to her. "You’re the one who is crazy for trying to kill your brothers’ mate. You have no shame, but I’m not going to mince words with you right now, because that would be the worst thing that can happen to me considering you killed someone!""Shut up!" She thundered, shoving me back as she made her way around me. I glared at her angrily. She was not going to change so fast was she? After all these time, this woman was still a pain in the ass. Only the goddess knew how many lies she had taken just because she wished to remain at the top. But, I wouldn’t let her use me like I was a fucking joke anymore."Do you believe the nonsense that she is sprouting out?" Lady Meade asked.I turned to my mates, and they were all a block of ice. Lady Meade tugged each of their hands as she went on another rant. "She had always had a vendetta against me because she knows that I knew her ways when she was a slave.
ANDREAThe dirt was my anchor right now, and I wasn’t sure I could be able to breathe normally anymore. I let my hands press against my chest, hoping to push the pain away even more. But, it was relentless and cold against me. This was so unfair, and no-one deserved to be treated this way. Slowly, I rose to my feet, walking back into my room. The accusatory eyes of my mates came back at me in full force, and it was so paralysing. I knew for long that it was a game to them, but for the whole issue to escalate so badly without warning broke my heart so badly.'It’s going to be fine,' my wolf reassured me slowly.'I don’t know, Kezav. I was accused of being a killer by the man that should have stood by me. Is this how life should be?' I asked quietly.My wolf howled as I made my way around the hall. There was no-one around, and I was glad about it. I didn’t need any form of mockery at this time. With sure steps, I walked into my room. Lucinda was trying to make the bed, and I just could
NIKOLAIMy fingers grazed the walls in rage. How could he do this to me? I have never imagined that something would hurt me as much as this did. I had just being minutes from her in my hands."It’s a good thing that she left. That woman is a terror to behold and shouldn’t be a part of our flock. Someone who could kill another is a demon.My stomach clenched at that word. Maybe, it was a good thing that I didn’t go to her. I don’t know how I would have looked to the rest of the pack. They didn’t need an Alpha that was driven by emotions, but someone firm. Raul didn’t know the meaning of that word, but I knew it. With a sigh, I walked down the path walk to the red sign, only for a whistle to catch my attention. I turned around to see it was Lucian. It was as though we all wanted to meet here today. It was just annoying for so many reasons."Go away." I whined.Lucian sighed as though I said something exasperating. He pulled at his shirt lightly before coming over to meet me. "What’s th
LUCIANThe weather was so dull. It looked like it might rain, but I just couldn’t find the heart to get out of my chair, and move to the window. Nothing in my life was working as it should. It was just a complete mess! I grabbed a hold of the coffee, taking a sip of it in a bid to divert my thoughts from the mess that was going on in my life. "Oh, goddess! You’ve cheated me with everything in my life, and now, this is much worse. Though, I said so many hurtful things to Andrea, yet I feel she wouldn’t be a killer. There must be a way to know the truth about the matter so that peace can reign. But, how?" I asked out loud, as I took a sip of my drink.A knock sounded on my door at that moment, and I frowned lightly."Who is it?""It’s Beta Luis, Alpha," came the gruff voice.I groaned as I leaned against the black chair. Damn! I didn’t need any visitors today. I already had enough. Maybe, I should replace Luis with his son. I was used to him, but he shouldn’t be working under me anymor
ANDREAI met Lucian’s eyes, and I could tell that he was a bit remorseful with how things had gone. But, I just couldn’t forget the way he had treated me so badly earlier. With a sigh, I clamped my hand in front of me."I just can’t believe this," Lady Meade grumbled from where she sat behind Nikolai, fanning herself wildly.Gosh!This witch would never cease to amaze me, and I hated her so damn much. Since she came to my life, I have not had a moment’s peace, and that would have to change as soon as possible. There was nothing more annoying than being in this space with her. She was the most annoying soul that I have ever met. "Meade, be quiet," Raul snapped.She scoffed angrily. "Don’t act like those henpecked husband , Raul. Your Luna doesn’t deserve any audience for what she had done. She deserves to be sentenced as the law said for criminals. None of this would change the truth, and she is just a crazy lot." She snapped."I agree. Whatever she has to say would be to save hersel
ANDREAI turned to Brody, who looked like he was about to kill someone as he drove the car. This was all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so vulnerable back there. Now, he was having issues with his mate because of me. It was just not right, and I felt so horrible about it. I would have to do something to change the way everything was moving now. I shifted my gaze away from him and looked towards the darkening sky. Everything was going to be fine if the goddess wills it. I still had faith in her."Are you thinking about what Valerie said back there?"I jumped out of my skin as I looked at Brody. "No... Well, yes," I admitted."You shouldn’t. I have come to understand that she say bitter words, and the best way to keep her under control is to give her back the same venom. I know that you understand more about what I’m trying to say."I nodded lightly. "Yes, I do. But, if I wasn’t there, then none of those things would have happened. I’m really sorry about that, and I hope that you woul
