Nicholas

" You've always been closed off, and I accepted it, but this is too much even from you," I ignore my mother's voice as I focus on my exercise. She keeps walking back and forth as I change my routine.

"You are hardly sleeping or eating. It's unhealthy, we should have dinner tonight,"

"I'm fine, Mom," I growl, annoyed at her.

" It's been a week since your mate has been in a coma. You don't talk about her to anyone. How do you feel?" she asks.

My family has been on my case since I found my mate at the border, beaten. They are worried about my well-being since I've been more closed off than usual.

"I hate that you bottle things inside, Nick. You won't explode if you vent or communicate your emotions out loud,"

I exhale and drop the dumbells, and face my dear mother.

" I feel like fucking shit! It's been a week, and we haven't found who did that to her. They hurt her... So badly. I hate myself that I couldn't be there, that she had to suffer while I didn't.

    ApphiaIt's serene. Very quiet. I love the quiet. I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I see is a high, bland ceiling. I scan the room with my eyes, turning my head. I'm surrounded by medical equipment. It's a hospital room—except it looks like a suite and it's airy. The furniture is fancy. There are three people in the room. A young woman and a man chat buoyantly on a sofa on the left while a younger man, a teenager, occupies the other. He's furiously pressing on his mobile phone. "Our sleeping princess is awake!" The girl on the sofa gets up and comes to me with a perfect smile on her rosy lips. She is tall, gorgeous, curvaceous, and has flawless bronze skin. Long braids complement her soft facial features and clear sky-blue eyes. She wears a short blue dress and high-heeled shoes. She stares at me in awe, the look I get when people see my eyes. However, her look doesn't turn to disdain. She seems mesmerized by my eyes. "How do you feel, sweetie?" she asks, her voice

    ApphiaAfter Nicholas and Blade leave, I stare at Lily. She has an amused look on her face. I squint my eyes; it's like she's reading me. I heard the royal family has unique gifts—they all do. What gift does the first princess have? " Telepath," she answers. She elegantly gets up from her seat and walks over to me. " I can read thoughts, put thoughts and images in people's heads, too," she explains; I'm stunned and unable to say a word. " However, I can't read yours, Apphia, and I have tried. It is the first time I've been unable to read someone's thoughts. How are you doing it?" " But you answered my question before I could ask," I murmur. " I just guessed you were thinking it because you realized we were royalty when Nicholas was on the phone," I bite my lips in thought. How come Lily can't read my thoughts? Not that I'm displeased about that. " Are... There people whose thoughts you can't read?" I ask slowly. "There are a few strong alphas who guard their minds, yes. But it

    ApphiaIt's late at night, and I'm in bed, wearing cream silk pajamas. I've never worn such pyjamas before, they feel so soft and wonderful on my skin. I close my eyes to sleep. 'I can't be with you. I'm the future beta of this pack, and if I accepted you, which I couldn't even in the next life, I'd lose my status. And besides, you're not my type,' a memory comes back to me. I'm crying as Gavin says that to me. He's rejecting me! 'I reject you,' that is my voice. I'm standing there, helpless, as I watch the scent of my rejection play in front of me. Gavin Jr was my mate! Tears run down my face. The scenes change, and I'm with Duncan, hugging him, and then I'm dragged away to my father's office. He wants me to go to Amir's pack. I leave the room and find Gavin kissing Calla; there is an altercation between me and that bitch, I run, and Rory follows me to the lake, where he assaults me. Duncan finds me after I've killed Rory; he's telling me to leave and come back when it's safe. He

    Nicholas Apphia had regained her memory and was depressed, refusing to eat. She woke up to nightmares. Lily told me she does nothing but write in her notebook and journal and takes a lot of showers. She locks herself in the bathroom for hours, crying. My heart broke to hear that, so I decided to visit her. I missed her so much. "I'm going to see her," I tell my sister over the phone. She has been staying by her side. I'm scared to leave her alone in fear she might self harm or escape. "Nicholas, what about the necklace? Did you send people to look for it?" she asks. "I did, but they couldn't find it," I sigh. "Oh, no. It has a lot of sentimental value. Poor girl was sobbing when she realized it was missing," she informs me. I hope the staff I sent out to look for it find it. I could do it myself, but time didn't allow me, as I've been in meetings constantly. I end the call and drive to the general hospital. I entered the royal hospital suite easily, as I knew the code. She w

    "Hungry, Apphia? It's thirty minutes past 6, and you normally eat at this time," We enter the VIP suite, and I help her out of her coat. " I've ordered your favorite meal, creamy Tuscan salmon," " I'm not hungry," she sighs and sits on the couch, briefly closing her eyes. "Your poor eating habits are not good for you, Apphia. You need to eat," She's already so thin and fragile, like she could break. " You seem to know more about my eating habits, given this is the second time you are visiting me," she sounds a bit bitter. I stare at her and sit beside her. " Are you upset that I haven't been here sooner?" I ask, humor dancing in my eyes. She turns her face away, " I wish you visited often," she murmurs. " I will," I promise. Our eyes lock, and I have to tame my lycan from pulling her on my lap and kissing her. I feel her heart pounding. Even though she doesn't feel the mate bond, I obviously affect her. We break eye contact when someone knocks on the door. It is the ch

    Apphia A couple of days pass, but I'm still in the hospital. I don't like it. It's starting to suffocate me. I want to leave this place already. However, I don't know how to start my life once I'm out. With Lily's help, I could get a job and rent a place in the city. I've mentioned leaving the hospital and getting a job to support myself to Lily several times, but she dismissed it in a Lily-fashion way. " Apphia, you're not ready yet, and my brother is searching for the man who got away. You have to stay here for your safety, sweetie," she said with a smile. It's like they don't want me leaving, but I'm so done with the hospital already. ... Dr. Hudson and I are on the rooftop. I convinced her to have our usual sessions here today. She insisted on calling Nicholas, and luckily for me, he agreed. I don't understand why they have to ask him for permission. "Apphia, what do you think about the Alpha Prince?" Her question catches me off guard. She's never brought him up in one of

    ApphiaI love trains—I've loved them since I was a little girl! They are so intentional and different from life. I used to watch them in my pack every day after school. They were there at the exact time, and it was... settling. And the lycan city has one of the best trains. " You want to ride a train...?" Knox asks, tilting his head to one side. "Yes, and then we can go back," He seems content with that. I follow him quietly to the station, a ten-minute walk from the general hospital. - The large station has a high ceiling and over three nice lounges. It is neat. We head to the booking clerk to get our tickets. When it's our turn, Knox reaches into his pocket to grab a credit card and puts it on the reception desk. " She wants a train ride to nowhere in particular, maybe around the pack?" he says, bored. The clerk behind the desk sees the golden card, and his bored face lights up immediately. " O—Okay, Mr. Lavista..." he types on his computer and then looks up, beaming.

    ApphiaNicholas is here. It isn't planned, but Knox and I get up simultaneously, our eyes glued to my door. We hear steps outside the door. My heart is pounding in my chest. I'm anxious and apprehensive, but something within me sings joyfully—my subconscience. . The double door quickly opens, and the chattering in the office ceases as everyone gets to their feet, their heads bowed low in submission. Nicholas stands at the entrance, and Blade and Lily stand slightly behind him. The Alpha is looking right at me with his sapphire blue eyes. He is mad yet breathtaking with his tousled hair and undone in a white shirt, collar, and cuffs. I can't tear my gaze away from his beauty. His eyes go from me to his young brother. Seeing them face each other, I see the resemblance between them. They are almost identical, except Knox's skin is fairer, probably getting it from one of his parents. Other than that, Knox is a few years younger. I take a deep breath and slowly walk up to him. His

    I can't feel Ziora anymore. She's gone, leaving me desolate. As we walk upstairs, I realize how grand the castle is with its tall ceiling and wide white marbled hallways. There are paintings on the walls, all expensive-looking. Everything is antique but modern, too. It also has a homey feeling to it that I like. Just what am I doing here? I'm out of my league here. Lily talks about the room she chose for me, but I'm struggling to comprehend anything momentarily. She takes me to a private wing on the west side and stops before a white door. She pushes it open, and Vicky rushes in, spreading her hands in a dramatic gesture. "Tada! Welcome aboard!" I step inside and look around with my eyes. No. It can't be mine. The room is enormous, with two large windows from the floor to the ceiling. In the middle of the room is a large queen-sized bed with white sheets and many fluffy pillows. There is a long cream couch facing the TV on the wall. "Check it out," Lily says with a smile. I fee

    Apphia. Once we leave the station, two black cars are waiting for us on the street, and two men in black suites are standing beside them. I glance at the others. Lily is not too happy and is scolding Knox. "You are such a brat; what were you thinking, Knox? Helping Apphia leave the hospital!" "She was safe. I was with her, and Apphia had a wonderful time. Didn't you?" he grins at me. I smile and nod. "Oh, Apphia, you had me worried," Lily says, stroking my hair gently. "I'm sorry," I say again. "You'll ride with me," Nicholas says. I hesitate. Should we ride in the same car after our heated exchange earlier? I glance at Lily, and she nods with a comforting smile. Nicholas holds open the door, and I enter the back passenger seat. Nicholas gets in, sitting beside me, and my breath gets caught in my throat. The driver starts the engine, and we head back to the city. The car ride is silent. It is heavy, so I speak, "I'm sorry for worrying you," I murmur. Nicholas turns his
