Nicolette's POVMalcom let out a grunt as he walked off from where I was sitting. Seth and Lucas had already left. I had known they had been watching. They weren't very careful with hiding that they were watching me.The pile of burnt wood was starting to grow and suitable logs for burning we're starting to become scarce in this area I had been training in.My level of control had not improved but maybe decreased since I had last worked with my mom all those centuries ago. She always forced me to sit there for hours while blood fell from my nose. The only times she would let me rest was to use the bathroom.She was so fixated on trying to get me to master the control of the elemental powers I had that she barely noticed the points I was about to pass out.My father learned to not bother my mom while training me with magic. All the times I have accidentally sent sharp objects towards his head probably gave him the impression that it was better to stick to training me with my wolf and d
Nicolette's POV"I would really love to stay and watch your precious mate bleed out but I can't take you with help on the way," he said and disappeared with impressive speed.I dropped to the ground where Malcom was laying. If a normal dagger had hit him it wouldn't have affected him but it was sliver.Smoke curled up from his skin from where the weapon was implanted in his shoulder. He laid flat on his back growling at the pain. Tears rolled down my face from the immense pain my body was feeling.The smell of Malcom's blood made my demon antsy. The time he gave us his blood made my demon wanting more. He made himself a target for my demon.I felt the veins to my eyes turn black and my eyes go bloodshot. I close my eyes and take a few breaths until my face went back to normal."You idiot," I whisper to him while I asses the damage that had been done to his shoulder. I lightly touch the dagger and he let out a snarl as it pressed deeper into his skin."You should have called for help e
Malcom's POVShe wanted it to work. She wanted to do it together. She kissed me. I got Doctor Lauren to patch her up while she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't question how she got hurt and worked quickly on her.She was drained. I could make the loudest noise and she wouldn't move at all. I grabbed a fresh towel and a bowl of water and started to clean the blood off of her body.Her body had started to bruise from where he had hit her. I got angrier and angrier with every wound I saw. I should have known that leaving her alone was a bad idea."Lucas," I called through the link. As I waited for his response, I tried my best to rub the dirt off of her too."Yeah?" He finally responded."Find two of our best guards and keep them posted in front of Nicolette's room at all times and find a trustworthy male omega to help Nicolette whenever she's in my house," I instructed."Why male?" He asks. I take the bowl of tinted pink murky water and pour it out in the sink and rinse it and hand was
Nicolette's POV"Hi I'm Nicole," I greet them. They smile lightly and nod."Luna," they say simultaneously. I let out a nervous chuckle and shake my head. I felt uncomfortable that they called me Luna. It makes me feel more important than I actually am."You can just call me Nicole," I said. They nod and I see another wolf standing on the side. His power seemed weaker. Probably a omega."Who's he?" I ask Malcom."This is Elijah. He's going to be here every day except Sunday to watch over you and care for your needs while I'm working," he explains. I roll my eyes and groan."I'm not helpless Malcom," I state. I hated being treated like I'm some fragile little girl. I may look like I'm 24 but I'm 683 and about to be 684 in 11 days."Yes but you like to get yourself in danger," he points out. I let out a sigh and rub my temples as I process what he just did."I'm not happy with this. It's like a total invasion of privacy," I complain. "What do you know about me?""You're a tribrid," one o
Nicolette's POV"Damn it," I groan. I had him and I could've killed him if I had moved faster. I let out a scream and pull the roots of my hair.He has a witch with him and a powerful one too. I could feel their aura, their strength. Whoever they were, they were going to be a hard person to get by."Nicolette?" I heard. It wasn't Malcom's voice so I shouted that I was in my room. Seth peeked his head into my room."I have a favor to ask you while Malcom is off in the woods in a mood," he said. So that's where he went off to. In the woods. I hated fighting with him. I just wanted it to work out."Yeah what do you need?""There's a vampire in the dungeons, says he was chased into pack lands but guards don't believe him. I was wondering if you could maybe do a spell or something to find out the truth?" He asked me. His tone made it seem like he didn't know if I would be angry at him for asking or not."Yeah I can help," I said. He let out a sigh of relief and nodded. He led me to the dung
Third Person POVAll the guards that were getting ready for mid-day training gathered around as they watched the two vampires fighting. Some questioned what the female was.Some had seen her turn into a wolf and some saw her using powers as if she were a witch. Rumor spread around the pack that another fight involving her was happening again.There had been whispers around pack that she wasn't like one of them. Some questioned why she was staying with the Alpha. Morgan, Malcom's bed warmer, had heard all of these rumors about a powerful she-wolf always at the side of King Alpha Malcom, King Beta Lucas, King Gamma Seth, and Queen Gamma Mia.It made her blood boil that the mysteryshe-wolf was the reason King Beta Lucas told her to stay away from Malcom. An order, one she cannot disobey.She followed the crowd of wolves leaving the pack house and into the training grounds. After she had been shunned from Alpha Malcom, she had lost her authority in the pack.Everyone used to listen to he
Malcom's POV"What?" I yell. "And you didn't tell me?" I scooted back from her and look at her."Well yeah I was busy trying to save my best friend's little brother from your games," she said rolling her eyes."When?" I interrogate her. She sighs and holds her hand out with her palm out. A small black cloud burst from her hand. It swirled in her hand an image showed up in it."I think it's better if you see it," she said. She placed her hand on my temple and she disappeared. Instead I was in a closet. Nicolette's closet.I saw everything from her eyes. I could feel everything she felt. The exhaustion from using her powers. Her fear. I could fell the trembling in her body. Everything faded to black as he disappeared and then she appeared again."I'm scared," she said. I saw the tears slowly forming in her eyes. "I'm scared about everything. Gods I'm such a baby." She chuckles a little trying to put on a facade, trying to make herself feel better."It's okay to be scared," I said. I wipe
Nicolette's POVI hopped onto the dirt ground and rip my shoes into the dirt. I still had some energy that I needed to get rid of so why not challenge them."Who wants to go against me?" I smirk. I look up at them and they all whispered to each other like they thought I was crazy. They still think I can't beat them."I will," I finally heard somebody offer. I saw him push his way out of the crowd. He stood in front with a grin on his face."He's the strongest one in this group," Malcom warned me. I roll my eyes and shake my head at him."I single-handedly took your Beta down and you're warning me about a warrior?" I scoff. I signaled for the guard to come into the dirt training ground.I kick my shoes off and throw my socks to the side. He cracks his neck and his knuckles as a sign of intimidation but that's the worse thing you could do."Malcom can you come be referee please?" I ask him. He nods and he comes to the side of the training ground."You can't go growling every time he hits
I could hear her gurgling next to me, followed by giggling and Caden's voice soft as possible and quiet, whispering to her."Are you a pretty girl? Of course you're a pretty girl."He hummed to her and my eyes fluttered open.The sight in front of me made my heart soar. Caden sat against the headboard, he had his knees up and had our daughter lying on them her feet just barely touching his stomach.His huge hand covered most of her chest and stomach. The other hand was held by his index finger, by her.She stared up at him and he softly and gently massaged her stomach whispering things to her."My beautiful Adira."He coed and she smiled at him squeezing his index finger. Her free hand rested on top of her father's.I watched them for a bit longer before sitting up and leaning against Caden. He leaned over and kissed me on the lips, his short beard rubbing against the bottom side of my chin.He pulled back and I smiled at him. He smiled back then we put both our attention on our small daughte
"Thats awful. Thats a no-no. Maybe he actaully lost track of time but he should have been listening to you."She replied and I nodded, wiping my makeup off roughly."Well make him pay, you know what to do."She announced and I nodded. I got into my comfy pjs and we watched N*****x, but I kept zoning out.I really thought Caden and I were getting somewhere, but no, we're just two stubborn hot heads fighting constantly.Maybe he wasn't right for me, maybe it was just, I don't know. Are couples supposed to fight this much?I guess my parents had a really rough patch that they both hate to talk about.But their situation was worse and much more different from my own. It sucked. It really did.I was so confused. I sighed and cleared my mind of my thoughts and tried focusing on happy thoughts.I continued to watch the movie with Ellie until I fell asleep. Three days later I avoided Caden everywhere. I avoided him for three whole days. He began to grow stubble and had bags under his eyes.I began to
The man put both wrists in his one hand and pulled my shirt up, exposing my sports bra.I struggled in the mans grasp and David smirked."Yes, do show them off."He commented and I stopped, letting my head hang.David's cold hand was suddenly on my breast, underneath my bra and I screamed. Caden lunged at him and recieved another punch to the face.I squeezed my eyes shut and looked away."Don't touch her."Caden snapped and a tear slid down my cheek.Suddenly my wrists were released and I fell to my knees. I pulled my shirt down and held myself, my eyes still shut."Get away from her."Caden warned when suddenly a fistful of my hair was grabbed and my head was forced upwards.I looked up at David and he lifted me off the ground. He grabbed my shirt and ripped the fabric.My hands went over my chest while the shards of my shirt fell to the ground. I stared at the ground when suddenly David pulled me into him. He licked the side of my neck and I gagged.He shoved me to the ground and I curled into m
I yawned and sat up, running my fingers through my hair. I sighed and sat there for a few moments before getting out of bed. I got dressed and used the bathroom before going downstairs.I had woke up a bit late so everyone was already eating. I walked into the dining room, ignoring everyones stares. I sat down and ate quietly while my grandma's quietly chatted nonstop. Everyone was silent, and I knew most of them had heard Caden and I.Caden kept his eyes forward as he ate, keeping his gaze away from me. I kept my eyes down as I ate, in the uncomfortable silence. Once breakfast had finished my dad brought my mom, Mason and I into his office."We need to talk about your past with Abram, Adlin."My dad announced and I looked down at my hands."Caden told you didn't he?"I asked and my dad nodded."Abram and I dated for a month when I was sixteen. At first it was ok but then he started trying to fuck me and when I denied him he would call me names and other bad things.Once I ended it he starte
I opened the door and looked into the room. He sat on the couch, his head in his hands."Caden?"I asked softly and his head snapped up so fast I'm surprised he didn't get whiplashed."Are you alright?"I asked and he nodded, standing up. He walked over to me and I looked up at him."Are you sure? You look troubled."I asked again and he gave me an annoyed look."The men are treating me like a fragile doll."He muttered and I sighed."Because you're hurt, once you heal they'll act normal again. We're a family here Caden, everyone cares about each other."I replied and he slightly nodded, not looking at me.It was as if he wasn't even listening to me."I don't need a break."He repeated sternly and I sighed."Caden, you fell over today because you tried leaning on your bad leg. Let me take care of you for awhile."I begged and his face hardened, his eyes snapping down to me in a glare."I don't need a break and I don't need you treating me like a fucking child. I can care for myself, I'm fine."He hiss
"Talking to yourself?"He asked smirking and I glared at him. They took me the other night, instead of killing me and going after Mason and the girls because they decided I was useful.They saw how Adlin had shouted for me, and knew I was important, to her. So that meant I was trusted.The Swedish wanted me to sneak them into the Russian estate so they could take my Adlin. Weaken the Russians.But I wouldn't speak, nor agree to help them so they beat me, tried to drown me, but I still wouldn't reveal anything or help them.He opened the cell and stalked towards me. He crouched down in front of me and shoved my head into the wall.I clenched my jaw and fists. I could hear a ringing noise and he punched my stomach. A gush of air left me and I wheezed. The man smirked and stepped on my ankle. I gritted my teeth and he pulled out his knife.He jabbed it into the bullet wound on my leg and I hissed, glaring at him fiercly. He smirked again then stood and turned his back to me, first mistake. I ki
A group of men walked in and Caden watched them, along with Mason. They spoke Russian to each other, watching the men sucpicously.I didn't know much Russian, but Mason did because of my dad and grandpa. I mean, my dad would teach me if I wanted, but I didn't really want to know.I think it'd be cool for my kids to speak Russian. The group of men sat away from us and the boys looked away.Ellie shot Mason a look and he cleared his throat and began to talk about the restaurant in English. I was full, like really full. We payed the bill and left the restaurant. As we walked out the group of men from earlier, followed us out.Mason whispered something to Caden in Russian and he nodded. We were guided into some random building and Caden kissed me suddenly."Hide with Ellie. We'll be back."He whispered and I opened my mouth to ask a question but Ellie's hand wrapped around my wrist and began to drag me to the back of the store."We need somewhere to hide."She whispered looking around."Why?"I re
"Sorry about earlier."We apologized at the same time. We looked at each other and he smirked."You're sorry?"He asked."Are you?"I replied and he nodded so I did. He sighed then pecked my lips."Let's stop this silent treatment shit please."He muttered and I whispered an ok.He hovered over me and pressed our lips together. He trailed down to my shoulder and I tangled my fingers in his hair."You're parents are gone out again."He muttered and I stopped."So?"I asked and he smirked. What was he getting at?He must have saw my confused look because he sighed."Sex Adlin, I mean sex."He replied and my eyes widened."You're rushing things Caden."I replied and he nodded."Sorry."He muttered then pecked my jaw."At least let me sleep with you again tonight."He replied and I sighed then nodded. "Adlin?"My dad asked from behind the door. Caden fell off my bed and I shoved him into my closet."Yeah dad?"I called and he walked in along with Colton, Arthur and Ivan. They all sat at the foot of my bed."Adlin
I changed into ny running shorts and sports bra. I grabbed my sneakers then went outside of the estate.I pulled my hair up into a ponytail then sprinted down the road. I was breathing kinda heavy halfway, but I kept going.After awhile my phone beeped notifying me that I had sprinted for eight minutes.I turned around and ran back to the house, in total I took sixteen to twenty minute runs each day, depending on how I was feeling. I jogged inside and up to my room. I showered before throwing on some sweat pants and a tanktop.I went downstairs and grabbed a chocolate bar. I never gained weight really, it was because of my fast metabolism.Caden was in the kitchen talking to another man while I ate my chocolate bar, sitting on the counter.Once the man had left Caden looked at me, and I pretended not to see him."Adlin,"He said with his wonderful accent.Mason and I didn't really have accents, due to the fact our parents having different accents. Sometimes I spoke like an Italian, other times
