“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Fifteen : “ Connection”
Nadia's POVI wanted to tell him everything.But I couldn't.The emotion that splayed across his face when I asked him to not force me to tell him made me want to cry. He seemed really hurt by my rejection of information. I knew that he wouldn't be the type of man that could be fooled easily, but he even exceeded my expectations by catching onto something within a mere half an hour of being alone with me.Oh, how I wish I could say something..I sigh as I look around the pack training area where the BBQ dinner is in full swing, as I lean on one of the fences near the perimeter, looking in. Nathaniel and I had walked back in silence after the moment at my house in my music room. We didn't haveanything else to say to each other, it seems. He had thanked me for taking him around and then had gone to go talk to Tobias and a few other members of his guard before starting to mingle with the rest of the pack members here, and I was alone yet again.I continue to look at everyone mingling, l

Nadia's POVIt's now been a few days since Alpha Nathaniel arrived, and thankfully it's been quiet. Alarik and mike haven't even been bugging me as much as they usually do, and I really only have Nathaniel to thank for that. His presence has lessened a lot of my daily torment.I don't know what I'm doing concerning my escape.My bag is still packed and sitting by the window, but honestly, I don't think I'm going to be leaving anytime soon. Everyone is on high alert, so there is no way that I would make it out unnoticed.The tension is thick, since Alpha Nathaniel is so stone faced about what he's thinking. He is to let mike and the pack know if he is approving the merger by the end of his visit. No one has any ideaof what he's heard or seen, and if he has heard or seen anything, he's doing a hell of a job keeping his poker face intact.I sigh loudly as I roll over in my bed.Even I'm confused and in the dark. I've been trying to not think of it, but the way the Nathaniel interacts wi

Nadia's POVMy heart beats wildly in my chest as my eyes meet his. He saw the whole damn thing Or at least I think he did. I don't want to have to explain what the hell just happened. Not after I just got my ass kicked in front of him.That's what you're worried about?I stand there, frozen just looking at him.What the hell do I do?I don't get to choose, as Nathaniel and Tobias both make their way over to me. I don't even bother running away, not like I could anyway. They've got their wolves, I don't. Obviously, Nathaniel gets to me first and I watch as his eyes scan over me, clearly checking me over to see if I'n okay.Before he can speak, I do. "I’m okay." My voice comnes out barely a whisper, the embarrassment and anxiety taking over."Nadia. What happened?" Tobias speaks, drawing my attention to him. His eyes are soft and full of worry. I try to shift my weight and stumble, and both Tobias and Nathaniel grab alhold of each of myarms to steady me. I hear an exasperated sigh come

Nathaniel’s POVI pace around my room at the visitor building whileTobias is sitting on the small couch in here. I could hardly sleep the night before, and I called Tobias into my room to discuss things since mny mind is racing and it's taking a lot of my willpower to notjust go over to Mike's office, raging at what happened the night previous with Nadia."She's bound with silver. That's such an ancient punishment.""It's also pretty much illegal. No packs have used that punishment since the war with the witch covens' generations ago." I state and he gives me a Solemn look."The question is, what did she do for Mike to apply that punishment to her? I looked into our records and there isn't a report of anything severe from this pack. A few thefts and other small petty shit, butnothing that even comes close to needing to bind a wolf with silver to suppress them.""I'm wondering the same thing, But we know Mike won't admit it, and as the things look now, Nadia won't either. We might be a

Nadia's POVMy heart pounds as I walk out of the elevator, my shoes scuffling the carpeted hallway as I make my way down to Alpha Nathaniel's room. I really debated coming over here still looking battered and bruised, but as Gabby and Evie said, I really should say thank you to them for looking after me and making sure I got home alright after Mike's beating.I get to the end of the hallway, and I stand and stare blankly at the door. A few moments pass while I try to contemplate what I could possibly say to Nathaniel."Hey thanks for saving my ass..Good lord. I can't do this. It's embarrassing enough that I did get my ass beat with him watching, but now I've gotta relive it again? I shake my head. With my fear getting the best of me, I go to turn away from the door and walk away, but I stop as the door opens suddenly and I'm face to face with Nathaniel and all his blue-eyed glory. He's in a black t-shirt and blue distressed jeans, his hair damp and slightly falling in his face.We st

Nathaniel's POV"The Alpha will be with you shortly." Alarik tells me as I wait inside Mike's office to inform him that Nadia will be coming back with me to help prepare for the mating ball. The disdain in his tone as he speaks to me is evident, as I'm sure he's just as angry with me for my decision regarding the pack merger as his Alpha is.I'm slightly distracted as my mate is still back in my room, sleeping peacefully. I checked on her before I left as I was worried about her head injury from the piece of shit I'm currently waiting for. She seemed okay, and it took a lot for me not to crawl in besideher. I've been surprised at my degree of restraint with her. I know the moment I don't have to hide how I feel, the floodgates are going to open, and I won't be able to keep my hands off her.It's the next door behind the desk in the room opens and Mike enters. I adjust my stance as I stand in front of the desk, crossing my arms. Mike glances at me, noticing my stance immediately."Can

Nadia's POVI hum lightly as I look out the back window of the limo as it drives up whatever road we're on. We've been on the road for quite a while. I forgot really how much distance is in between our packS and the human towns. Honestly, I haven't been out of the packlands much since the incident, so all this territory is new to me. Still, it isn't too interesting, mostly greenery and old, tall trees lining the side of the road.Nate has hardly said a word on the trip so far, he's been on his phone taking multiple calls which I can only assume is due to the reason that he needs to head back to the palace a day early. I'm curious as to what could be so urgent that he had to rush out of Pure Moon like it was on fire, but I mean it really isn't any of my business. I'm a guest traveling with him, not his personal assistant or anyone close to him to even be privileged to know.I continue to hum quietly, losing myself in the melody of the song until I see lights, and sure enough we're ente

Nadia's POVI can't believe I was so clumsy, yet again. Nate caught me before I made a complete fool of myself, and as embarrassing as it was, I was thankful that I didn't hurt myself. But the weirdest thing? We stared at each other for such a long time after he helped me up. Complete silence but burning stares. I know I'm feeling something for him, but I can't let it continue. He's unmated and the King for fuck's sake.The way he looked at me, held me has been playing on my mind since we got back into the limo. I've been trying my hardest to not look at him, best my eyes and mind betray me, and I do something stupid.I want to kiss him, feel him hold me again…I sigh quietly and try to focus outside again, but Nate draws my attention to him by clearing his throat.I turn my head and notice that he's looking at his notepad that he's been using when he's been on his calls. He's sitting so casually beside me, leaned back into the limo seat with his left leg up with the right stabilizing

“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Forty-Four: “Bonded in Silver”
Nadia's POVI still can't believe it.I'm Nathaniel's mate.I'm still getting used to seeing all the pack members bow and address me. They've been doing it over the past few weeks and honestly, it continues to baffle and wonder at me. I'm mated tonot justa royal, but the future king of our race.Nathaniel has completely gone back to the endearing, loving and sexy man that I'm used to, and thank God because now that I know we're mates, I can't keep my hands off him. We've beenspending every waking moment together between his work and he's been showing me around the packlands and allowing me to help him with his pack work in a more official capacity consideringIt's now my pack too.We've briefly discussed making a trip out to the witches' coven to see about getting my cuffs removed and accept our mate bonds once they're off, which I am extremely excited for. These cuffshave been the biggest burden and hurdle for me in terms of coming back into myself and the woman I know I can be.I'
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Forty-Three: “ Shock and Awe”
Nadia's POV"What?" I say, bewildered as what he told me sinks in. "I'm...""You're my mate, Nadia." Nate says lovingly but with hurt in his voice."You've known this entire time?" My voice shakes with emotion, and he nods. "I've known since the first day we met."I back away and bring my arms up, lightly touching my cuffs."I never felt anything because of these.""Most likely. But I think you felt some sort of connection, just not as a mate bond.I look at him, tears still streaming down my face. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I see the pain cross his face and I know it must have been difficult for him to keep this hidden and as shocked as I am, I'm sure he had his reasons."Come into my room, let's talk." I nod and follow him down the hallway. We enter his bedroom and we sit on the bed together, the darkness of the blacks and grays of the room aligning with how I feel at this moment.Nate takes my hands in his and I look directly into his eyes as he speaks."I didn't tell you rig
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Forty-Two : “Admittance”
Nadia's POVI'm angry. It's been two days since Nate just walked away from me without an explanation, and I've been avoiding him. I don't understand how he can just keep playing with my feelings this way. The retreat was absolute bliss, and ever since we came back, it's been an utter shit show.I'm sitting in the music room, plucking away on the piano, trying to sort through my feelings.Confusion.Anger.Attraction.I've never been so emotionally confused in my entre life, and this is proving to be hard to navigate. I want to yell, scream, and kiss Nate all at the same time and it’s driving me insane. I sigh, beginning to play andI hear the door open, and I stop and turnto see who is coming in and I see the familiar face of Lynette."Heya stranger." She says with a smile and I half smile back."What's wrong?"I shake my head. "I don't even know."Let's talk about it, like we usually do." She comes and sit beside me on the bench, andI nod and sigh loudly. "It's Nate.""What happened?
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Forty-One: “Crystal Moon”
Nadia's POV It's still hard to believe that I'm living at Nate's packlands.It's been weeks since my incident and there's been not a single sound about our departure from Pure Moon, which Nate has found highly suspicious. Surely if three of your own pack members just up and disappeared, you'd look for them, no? Apparently to Mike, it's a no.Honestly, I don't care as much about it at this point. This is the freedom that all three of us have been wishing for a very long tỉme.Not looking over our shoulders.Not worried about our actions.Not getting verbally or physically abused.The pack has taken us in fully, and it's like we were a part of it this whole time.Now that I've healed fully from my wounds, I've been helping Nate with his pack work, almost like an assistant or secretary. I help keep track of his meetings and help him organize his paperworkfrom other packs and inform him when he gets new requests, Organizing them by importance and whatnot. It's been a steady pace, and I'
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Forty: “ New Territory”
Nadia's POVI can't believe this is happening.We're part of Nate's pack now.It's only been a few days and I'm still recovering from my attack, but it feels like we've been here this entire time. Gabby and Lynette have their own suites now and have fallen right into place with Nadine and Tobias.I'm still in the medical wing as I had a small setback with my stab wound, I accidentally pushed myself a bit too hard during exercise and ripped my stitching open, so now I'm on light movement until it heals. Everyone has been visiting me every single chance they get, and Nate has been texting me every moment he isn't in here with me.It's sweet.I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders in telling Nate the entire backstory of my life and how I came to be in this present moment. It surprised me that he immediately knew something was off like Gabby and Lynette had been saying for years, but I'm glad it’s out now.He also made a full incident report on my attack based on what I told
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Thirty-Nine : “Battered and Bruised”
Nathaniel's POVI'm restless.I haven't slept.Nadia hasn't woken up. It's been four days since her attack and she's still unconscious. Nadine has said she is healing at an accelerated rate now thanks to my blood transfusions, but it's hard to know how much damage was done until she wakes up.So far it hasn't been positive.I've gone to visit her every chance I've gotten. Gabby and Lynette haven't left her side and said that they would let me know if anything changed. I wanted to be by her side this entire time, but I've had to keep to my duties and run my pack. The pack is uneasy due to my unease with her condition. They know she's my mate and their Luna and the despair I feel from them knowing she's been injured maliciously has been a heavy burden to bear. I sigh as I sit at my desk in my office, mindlessly going through papers on my desk, I try to think of our happier moments, and I'm startled when Lynette bursts in."She's awake."Nadia's POVNadia. You're stronger than this. Open
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Thirty- Eight: “Broken”
Gabby's POVI help Evie lift Nadia up from the pavement and into the back of Tobias' car. Evie supported her on the left side and me on the right, her still body laying over both of us, the metallic stench of her blood filling my nostrils. I keep my hand pressured on her wound as it's still bleeding, disgusted at the fact my friend's blood is seeping through my fingers from an injury that someone else did to her.Mike must be behind this, but until Nadia recovers, we Won't know exactly what happened to her and who actually did this to her.If she recovers.I glance over at Lynette as Tobias takes off, and I see her face is wet with fresh tears as she strokes Nadia's head that is on her lap. She's still alive but barely. Her heartbeat is faint. Evie is covered inNadia's blood just like me, and my wolf lashes out in my mind in intense anger. "If she doesn't survive, I'm going to kill him." The coldness in her voice is highly apparent, which is a drastic difference from her usual bubbly
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Thirty-Seven: “River of Fire”
Nadia's POVI pace around my room, trying to pick an outfit for the show tonight. I've got three options pulled out; black ripped leggings with a long black sleeved fishnet top over a white tank top, my red baby doll dress with fishnet stockings, or acid washed jean capris with a black corset.I pace, looking over each option and ultimately decide on the red dress and stockings. I kept my set for tonight chill, so I won't be moving around too much. Plus, I know Nate would like it.I can't kid myself; I'm dressing up for him.I get changed, making sure to put my favourite perfume on and sit down to do my makeup. I decided to do heavier winged liner, mascara, a nude lip, and a little bit of pink blush. I tidy up my brows and fill them slightly and add some highlighter to my cheekbones.I style my hair, pulling it back into a half pony with me pieces out to frame my face.I stand and take another once over when I hear a whistle. I turn around and see Evie in my doorway, all dolled up her
“Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King Chapter Thirty-Six: “Yearning”
Nadia's POVIt's been a week since I returned from the retreat with Nathaniel, and I'm missing him.Missing him a lot. More than I really thought I would.We've been texting every single day when he's got time, but it's nothing like being in person with him physically. We're planning to do a video call this evening once he's finished up with a meeting so at least I'll get to see him in some capacity.As for life back home, well..Mike and Alarik haven't laid-a hand on me since I've come home, making me think that Mike listened to my threat and has backed off for time being. At least, I hope. I'm still doing all the normal dutiesthat he asked of me before, but it seems he's finally leaving me alone to do them. Gabby and Lynette have told me that I probably should keep my guard up still, which I am, but this is a welcome feeling to not have to worry as much.I walk outside of the house and make my way to the garden, and I make sure to do the zipper up on my sweater as I walk. It's star
