Nicolette's POVEverything hurt. My whole body ached. I could barely move my leg without something hurting. The pain grew worse and worse everyday. I groan as I reach for my water on my bedside table.It has been about 6 days since my heat ended, and i rather be in heat than have bruises all over my body. It hurt my wolf worse than me. She had to deal with the fact that her math, her other half, was cheating on her. I honestly didn't care because I knew better."When I first met your dad, we were both at the meeting between the werewolves, vampires, and witches," my mom started to tell me. I was maybe 42 years old at this time. I had already stopped aging at 21. I was supposedly supposed to find my mate at 18 but after 23 years, I kinda gave up. My mom would always tell this story."My mother was leader of the coven at the time and your father's father was Alpha of the Crimson Shadow Pack. We sat in the audience watching all the three Royalty leaders as they talked in the meeting. I w
Nicolette's POV"Y-you taught my mom?" I start to stutter. She would never tell me who taught her and I never knew the reason why."She never told you?" She questions. "Huh, anyway yes I did teach your mom. I was never part of a coven and I stumbled across your mom when she was still learning how to control her powers. Everyday I would find her in the woods and I would teach her something new about magic.""So what about the spells. That book that she has filled with nothing but spells. You taught her all of them?" I ask her. The book of spells I've kept since my mom died. Were they all Denali's spells."Oh no," she laughs. "She found and made all of those herself. I guess that's means I didn't teach her everything she knows. She spent a lot of time finding and making those spells.""Did you um know when I was born?" I asked her. She shakes her head and leans back in her chair. I felt uncomfortable siting next to her while she told me about my mom. What if she was lying to me? What if
Nicolette's POVRemembering what happened before all I could see was darkness. I've been sitting in the dark trying to come up with reasons on how I got here. I tried to reach through all my memories, trying to find out why the logo on that syringe looked so familiar.You know how in movies a character is in the middle of telling a story and it flashbacks to that memory. Then, the person the character is talking to says something that is not what happened in the memory but what someone in real time actually said.I was thinking of a memory with my mom then suddenly, her voice was replaced with a long ringing noise. I let out a gasp and my eyes opened to see a ceiling with cheap paneling and fluorescent lights.My leg had waves of pain going through it and I felt like I was missing something. I move my head slightly to the right and see needles stuck in my body that led to machines.I tried to reach for my wolf but she seemed weak. I lifted one of my hands, doing a simple spell, but no
Nicolette's POVAfter a few hours, most of it had passed. I spent those hours watching the sun set and worrying about my house. I tried to practice some simple spells, but my energy was too drained. I watched the moon come out. It's a few days to the full moon, but I doesn't really affect me.I heard the howling of wolves under the moonlight and listened to them hunt. I looked at the digital clock on the cabinets across from me and it read 1:27 AM. There was a soft knock at the door and my head snapped over to it."I'm going to leave for tonight. If you need help, press this button," Dr. Lauren said walking in. "If it's an emergency, press this red button. A doctor will come up here and notify me."I nod and she cleans up a bit and left me a glass of water next to my bed. I press a button on the side which dimmed the lights. The howling went on but I didn't mind.I haven't been near werewolves in so long, but I needed to leave. If I stayed here too long, more people could find out. I'
Nicolette's POV"All you can do is just stand there and watch me in pain. You're just going to keep doing it. I can't die from this, but it feels like I'm dying. Let me out of here," I growl. He growled at me using his Alpha tone. He didn't like being ordered around."You're growl doesn't affect me," I growl with more dominance than he did. "Keep having sex with your she-wolves. Just let me go. Let me be in pain in the comfort of my own house. You don't ever have to see me again.""Why don't you just reject me?" He asks."Because my mother didn't raise me to be that type of person," I growled back. I stood up mumbling to myself and faced the long, thick silver bars and lifted my hands towards them. I said a spell and let my eyes glow. The metal bars started to bend and create an opening.Malcom realized what I was doing and leaked but I moved one of my hams away and help him back.I brought my wolf forward and ran towards the window. My body crashed through the window and I shifted in
Nicolette's POVGuards were stationed in front of the cell I was put in. There was a small hole at the bottom of the call to slide small portions of food under it.The guards had masks over their face to protect them from the wolfsbane. Even though vervain doesn't affect me as much, it was still effecting me. They never stopped pumping contaminated oxygen.I leaned against the only non thing silver in this cell, a rock wall, but there was a wall of pure silver behind it if I try to escape.What if I just leave my hand on the silver? Technically it won't kill me. I brought my demon out and let my eyes glow red. I sat up and walked over to the bars. I grabbed them and started pulling. It burned the crap out of my hands. Steam started to come up from where I was touching it. It started to pull apart but the pain got to me."Why would you do that?" I heard someone say. It wasn't anyone I recognized and it wasn't the guards. I look up from my hands and see Lucas, the beta."Well any natura
Nicolette's POVI woke up again. I hate this. Waking up repeatedly after being thrown into the darkness. It was the same room. The same bedroom with the bars blocking the windows. This time, the bars were bent back and they were thicker.I played with some simple spells and realized I had my powers back. I sat up with a smile and pointed my hands at the bars."Incivin-va-mu," I whispered. The bars started to pull apart. I heard a cough behind me and I let out a scream and fell of the side of the bed, pulling the sheets down with me.I stood up quickly, recollecting myself, and lifted my hands ready to say about her spell."Woah," Lucas said lifting his hands and standing up quickly. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I let out a sigh and put my hands down and lug the sheets back onto the bed."Great now I have a guard dog. Just let me go back. I'm so tired and I have things to take care of. The blood in-" he quickly ran over and covered my mouth with his hand. I licked his hand and h
To clear up something, last chapter, I may have put Logan instead of Lucas. So, Lucas is the Beta and I Changed the Gamma's name to Seth that way I wouldn't get mixed up. That's a mistake I made so please forgive me。---Nicolette's POVI walked out into this large house after seeing Lucas walk out, I decided to look around whatever this was. I look up in the hallway and saw detailed carvings into the ceiling.I couldn't get the smell of Malcom out of my senses so I made an educated guess that this was his house. I realized I can't remember the last I had blood. I wandered around this large labyrinth until I found a large kitchen.Compared to mine, there was so much more things I could do. I opened he fridge and saw three blood bags in the vegetable box. I smile and grab one and bit a corner out so I could drink it.I shut the fridge and drink the rest of the blood. I realize that Malcom probably wouldn't want his house to smell like blood, but why should I care. I groan. My wolf want
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
