(Nikita's P.O.V.)"Don't hesitate. PUNCH!""B—But...""One more 'but' from you, and I'll find a new partner to pair with."My threat made Manuel put his hands into position. He threw a punch. I swiftly dodge his attack, locking his hand in my arm, and using my kick to limp his leg. He collapsed on the ground, knees first. I hurriedly moved my hand to his head."A—Arghh!" he whimpered.I chuckled as he tapped my arm to release him. I really hope he's not faking this because I swear, I would really snap his neck."H—Hey! That's enough. It hurts already," he yielded.I loosened my grip. He immediately gasped for breath. I looked above the twilight sky. It's getting darker. We should go back now.I picked up my tote bag from the grass, pulling it to my shoulder. "Come. Let's go to dinner," I invited him.He blinked his eyes.*******************************************Manuel and I found ourselves in a nearby pub house. He was a little hesitant at first, but when I told him that I'd go alo
(Nikita's P.O.V.)The first day of the competition has arrived. Everyone who has marked this date on their calendars is expected to watch the parade. All the contestants will be parading in the entire Ambersley territory. Our goal is to find fans to root for us... which I believe is the hardest part to be honest.How am I supposed to get all of them to like me? I'm not good at waving my hand. I'm sure that no one would waste their time to vote for me."C—Can you help me?" Manuel asked. I moved my eyes away from the window to look at him. My eyes went down to the neck tie on his hand. "I can't tie it..." he mumbled. I rolled my eyes. He's really a piece of work."And you think I wear tuxedos to ask for my help?" I sarcastically said.His ears turned pink."N—No... You wear dresses, and you look astonishing."I didn't know how I would react to what he said, so I just grabbed the neck tie from him to break the awkward silence. I pulled his collar to level his neck to my face."We'll see
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Shit.That wasn't supposed to happen. Why did he kiss me?!"I—I'm sorry, Nikita! It wasn't me. It was my wolf. He took control. I couldn't stop him!" he desperately explained as he chased after me, while I marched to the nearest powder room.He couldn't stop him?! What kind of nonsense is that?! He is the owner of that body. He should be able to take control whenever he wants. Why don't he just admit that he wanted that to happen! I frustratingly kicked the door open. Manuel had no other choice, but to wait outside.To be honest, our lips didn't touch. But I don't know why I'm getting so worked up. I just feel so annoyed about it. Like I knew he wasn't supposed to do something like that to me. Like I'm afraid that someone would see and get upset.I'm not thinking about Trojan, right?The hell with him. I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck even if I kiss all the men in town."You should kill him," my wolf angrily said inside my head."Tala!" I scolded.I could feel her rag
(Nikita's P.O.V.)"I just saw you guys at the parade. You've got lots of fans, huh?" she said. I stared at her quietly. She looks prettier up close. Now, I understand why they call her the most beautiful contestant—Just heard it from my way back.Manuel and I glanced at each other. He smiled sheepishly. This means I have to do the talking as usual.I cleared my voice. "Not really. We're not as popular as you are. By the way, he's Manuel. It's our greatest pleasure to meet you..." I replied, smiling sweetly at her. It makes me wonder if she doesn't know about me being Alpha Lucia's daughter, or maybe she just doesn't care? After all, whoever your family is doesn't matter here."Awww! Thank you. Actually, you're not the first one to say," she chuckled. My face automatically turned sour.Okay? That sounded proud.I think she's going to be our main opponent for this competition. She's got the looks and the popularity. I'm about to find out soon if she also has the skills. But first, I nee
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Today is the day of the first elimination round. I gathered all my courage to stand up here in the Circle today. Actually, we're not the first one to battle. We're still waiting for our turn. We're in the sorta last section of the contenders.I know that I did my best in practicing for today's fight. I also trust my partner about this. I know that we'll do great. But you can't blame me for being nervous. After all, if I lose this round, then that means I will forever lose the chance to be the leader of my pack. It would also change the family line of the thrones in Ambersley forever.I felt a strike of pain ringing in my head. I shook it off. Just thinking about it is already hurting my head."I told you not to think about it that much, didn't I? You should keep calm." I heard Manuel's voice spoke beside me. I glanced at him.My face transformed into a goofy smile again when I saw the state of his face. He had paint all over his face as per the arranger's instruction
(Nikita's P.O.V.)The rulers of the game will be the ones to choose our opponents. I'm already here at the Circle, shaking inside. I don't know if it's just the coffee that I drank last night, but I honestly feel nervous. On the other hand, Manuel was just cool. Silent. Still. I wonder what's going on in his mind? Is he also like me? Is he also nervous? Or is it really just me alone?JUST CALM DOWN, NIKITA. You know you did your best in training. There's no reason for you to doubt your skills now.You can do it..."The black pair will be competing against the red pair. Enter the battle Circle Juñio and Crizelle of division four!!!" The female ruler announced. Two unfriendly looking people came on the battle ring. Each of them are wearing a frown, and I can already tell just by looking at them that they will not give us a chance to win the battle.I pursed my lips when the Crizelle girl flashes and smirk on her face.She already looks confident.*PREEEEEEPPPP!!!!*I went into my positi
(Nikita's P.O.V.)"I'm fine...""Are you sure?""Of course.""You don't have to force yourself—""You heard me, Manuel. I'm not going to say that again."He had no other choice, but to keep silent. He quietly followed me to the hallways. I could feel weakness in my legs, but I'm trying so hard to keep them walking. I smiled upon seeing Omegas who knows me. They excitedly presented their notebooks to me. At first, I didn't know why, but when I laid my eyes on the pages. That's when I see a portrait of mine."Wow! This is impressive." I wasn't able to contain my happiness. This is the first time someone actually took effort to illustrate me.I turned my head to glance at Manuel who looked really happy for me. He nodded his head like he was the proudest. I showed him his cute wobbly face from the pages.He chuckled softly.I signed the portrait as per their request. I can still remember what they told me about how I become their inspiration. Because of me, they start to believe that Omeg
(Trojan's P.O.V.)"I love her. It's true. And I am already desperate to the point that I would call a meeting to my rival just to have her back," I vulnerably said. Ron stared at me silently. I couldn't read the emotion in his eyes, but I know for sure that he is trying to balance me.As an Alpha, I could easily banish Clara whenever I like. But I don't want to hurt the baby inside of her womb. It could be mine—my future heir.But I just can't give up.I love Nikita."So, you're telling me that I should help you because YOU LOVE the girl that I LOVE," he replied putting emphasis on his words.My jaw clenched. I knew that it would be impossible to get him to help me. But what can I do? He's my last hope. Father is doing everything in his power to stop me from reaching Nikita.I may be the most powerful Alpha in the pack, but I still can't risk to put my mate's life in danger.She will forever be my weakness.One minute of silence, and he finally gave up a sigh. He nodded his head like
(Nikita's P.O.V.)This must be one of the most expensive celebrations that I have ever had. Trojan thought that it would be such a nice idea to rent the whole island just for our family. We're not even close to fifty. He's so silly.Trojan and I are about to get married for the second time. I am very excited. It's not the first time, but it will always feel so exciting just like the first time. Manuel grew up quickly. My belly is also quite big now. Everyone started noticing our second baby. They're guessing what gender would it be.Personally, I want a girl. However, Trojan wants another boy. I really think that it would be chaos if all our children are boys. Imagine a household run by boys. I should call it just a household only because boys don't do household chores.I would love someone who i can play with. Someone who can wear clothes that don't fit me anymore. Yes, I am talking about a daughter.The place is very nice. Nature must be one of the most beautiful creations in the wo
(Nikita's P.O.V.)At the end of the day. We won against Clara, and her evil acts. They later found the Pack Healer. It turns out that just like me, he was also trapped in a bottle i couldn't come out. It is all thanks to Ron's equipment. It is an invention made to track dark power creations. As it turns out, the dark power is limitless. The Snow Moon pack promise that they are going to conduct a deeper study about the dark power and its black magic.About Ron, he finally came back. I heard that he tried to live in the human world for some time. He had a vacation by the beach where he stayed there for almost two months.Ruby found a boyfriend in the human world. What a coincidence because that guy was Justin—Trojan's human friend. Looks like Ruby's party animal personality resulted in something good anyway.I can still remember when she told me that all the guys that she likes always die. She said that she found a way to escape that curse. Apparently, that curse is only applicable to w
(Trojan's P.O.V.)I noticed how Nikita is walking very slowly. It's almost like her legs were stiff. I am thinking whether I should carry her, or not. But knowing Nikita, she never likes being treated like that. But I also don't want to see her struggling to walk."Are you okay? Do you want me to carry you?" I asked. Nikita looked at me with her big round eyes."Yes."Ohh.... Well, I guess, she's really having a hard time walking by herself. I decided to pick her up using both of my arms. She wrapped her hands around my neck, pulling herself closer to my face. I stared at her, while smiling sweetly. I don't know if it's because of the attack, but I just found her sweeter than usual. She let me carry her. She's pulling herself closer to me, which she doesn't do all the time. What is going on?"Do you want to go straight to our son?" I asked.She tilted her head like a doll. I looked at her confusedly."Yes."She's giving me brief replies."Well... How about I just take you to the bath
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Her face looks older. Her straight long hair has gotten shorter. She looked so different from her previous self. I don't know what happened to her, but I'm sure that she's been through pretty rough stuff."Why are you here? And what happened to you?" I asked confusedly. I prepared myself for her attacks. We thought that she's dead already. She hasn't shown herself for a long time. And now she's coming back looking thirty years older than before. "Trojan will know about this. I'm giving you the chance to run away. He's not going to let you live."I felt chills running down my spine when I heard her terrible laugh. She's laughing like a fucking witch."Wahahahahah! You smelled the same. You smelled like the weak. Wahahaha! Do you want to know what happened to me? Do you really?" she playfully asked. I looked at her confusedly. How do I tell her that the only reason I am curious is because she looked like she didn't bath for years."Just get out of here."I was about to
Three weeks later....(Nikita's P.O.V.)Being a mother was the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I'm not going to lie. It's of the hardest. There are times when I have to forget myself just so I can take care of my pup very well. Unlike humans, werewolf babies grow swiftly. That's why in just three weeks, out baby is already starting to walk."What color would you like, Manuel?"My son pointed at the red flower. I picked it up to add it on the vase that we were filling.Yes, we named him after Manuel.It was challenge, making Trojan agree with my choice. But I told him how Manuel helped me so much, and eventually agreed.I looked at the door when it opened, and my Beta came in with a bunch of more flowers. She put it on the table tiredly. I chuckled at the thought of her being tired from picking up flowers. I thought that it was cute because until now, Trojan is still giving me a bunch of flowers.And Manuel and I are using it as an activity, so that they won't be put
(Nikita's P.O.V.)We found out that Alpha Leon was planning to get rid of me with Alpha Robert. He freed him. That's why Clara was able to have men, equipment, and everything he used that time to try to kill me. He couldn't sleep for days after finding that one out. The rumours about me being the one who killed Lea stopped.Ruby apologized to me. She said that it was her emotions, and her toxic attitude of finding someone to blame when she's in a tight position. I really don't mind. To be honest, I am also blaming myself. I think it's my fault that it happened to Lea. Had she not protected me, then she would have been still alive.I'm going to grant her one request. I'm going to take care of her nephew.By the way. Ron didn't come to her burial. He was nowhere to be found. I asked Gill if he had found him, but as it turns out, nobody knows where Ron is located right now.He must be in so much pain. Lea loved him genuinely."The Alpha will announce an important announcement at the stag
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Seeing her die slowly died in front of me. I wasn't able to control the raging powers in my veins. I felt the heat on the tip of my fingers, my eyes glowing, and a black smoke surrounding me. I transformed into my wolf form.Clara's men rushed to attack me in their wolf form. I growled, and didn't back down to the fight. There were more than ten of them, coming all together to attack me. I used my Omega speed to run past them, making sure that I will be able to bite their legs. My goal wasn't to kill them fast. My goal was to kill them slowly like how they did to Lea.I let her watch how I killed all her men one by one. I mauled their legs, broke their bones, and snapped their necks. I was kind enough to roll one of her men's heads towards her. She panicked when it touched her foot.It didn't take me five minutes to kill all of them."Arghhh!!!"*Shhhheeekkkkkkk*I whimpered when she sprayed something on my face. It burned my eyes for a second, and when I turned to l
(Trojan's P.O.V.)"WHERE IS NIKITA?!" I frantically yelled at the guards who were assigned at the gate that night she disappeared. Nobody saw her leave. Not even her Beta.The last time she was seen was when she asked my Beta to summon me, but wasn't able to deliver the message to me because a sudden group of unidentified men attacked him inside the territory. He was found unconscious.Whoever planned Nikita's abduction planned it perfectly.But the only question I have is how they managed to make Nikita come with them without her suspecting that they are kidnappers. I have suspicion that the person who abducted her is someone that she knows. Someone who can easily access her way in and out of this pack. Someone who is close to our heart, but is a traitor."F—Forgive us, Alpha. We swear that Luna never went through the gate that night she disappeared," one guard responded.I clenched my fists.I have been trying to use my mind-link to speak with her, too, but it's not working. I can't
A week before the incident...(Lea's P.O.V.)"You want me to lure her there?" I asked in disbelief. The woman standing across the room nodded her head. I looked at her confusedly. How should I tell her that no matter how much I'm envious towards Nikita, I would never dare to cause her any harm.I still see her as my sister."That girl doesn't care about your feelings, Lea. She knows that you like Ron, but she's still wrapping her fingers around him like she's saving her for later. Don't you see how she's playing all of you in the palm of her hands? Am I really the only one seeing that?" she sarcastically said. I bowed my head. I never told Nikita that I like Ron. I have always been secretive about my personal feelings for others. That's why I always find myself being left out.But would it make a difference if I told Nikita? If she's my real friend, then I don't have to tell her, right? She'll know.Clara is right.Nikita knows how to play all the people around her, manipulate them, a
