Cyra POV
As the plane landed in Norway, my eyes were glued to the scenery. The tall mountains stretched as far as my eyes could see. The winter frost melting away as flowers began to bloom. It was the most miraculous site I could imagine.
Nikola’s hand was wrapped around my own while I nearly vibrated in the seat waiting to exit the plane. I wanted to run everywhere. See everything. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to discuss our future. I had finally decided I wanted nothing more than to marry Nikola and become Cyra Seeds.
We agreed before leaving our estate that we would have a ‘Theo-free’ trip. Jessie and Theo would be in Oxford for the next few days visiting anyways. No time for an
Theo POV A couple hundred meters away we came to a small clearing. I did my best to listen for anyone close. My smell was nothing compared to a wolf, using it seemed ridiculous. Due to Jessie’s suspicions I decided to at least try. Coming up nothing, I nodded for him to begin. He threw a few punches, clearly releasing anger and not using his brain. I dodged a few times before turning and landing my own attack. I knocked him down causing him to huff. I chuckled on the inside. He was a wolf, having no clue. It would be a privilege to see him shift. “You need to use your brain. Stop letting your anger control your movements. It’s sloppy and beneath you.” I said before lunging towards him.
Theo POV “I am here to protect him. Clearly you shouldn’t hire me.” I spat at the woman still arguing my presence on the pack lands. “You can call your Alpha; we have permission to be here. Though our visit was scheduled for tomorrow.” I informed. “Oh, you are Prince Theo. Is this…” The doctor paused briefly. “I was told Alpha Nikola’s son was only 17, not yet shifted.” She looked at the boy still in wolf form. “Until now.” I spoke relieved I was finally getting somewhere. “He shifted during the attack. He was crushed. Have you ever seen a wolf remain in form unconscious like this?” “
Theo POV As the doctor finished examining Jessie’s bruises, Sage paced eagerly in the corner. I could tell something happened to them both when she touched him. From her reaction, she didn’t have the answers to my questions. The doctor took Finn and Torvi into the next room leaving Sage and I alone, once again. I don’t think she was aware of my presence. She kept her eyes on Jessie’s badly beaten body. I could tell she was feeling helpless. “If what you say is true. Is it not better for you to be touching somehow? I have heard of Nikola helping Cyra in the same way.” I tried to be helpful, unsure why.
My name is Veronica Sloper, my friend’s call me Roni for short. I spent my entire life being an outcast, so to speak. I was never completely forgotten or left behind. That would have made my life easier. If my life would have been a movie, I would be the extra they forgot to add my name to the credits. I come from a big family, there are 5 of us kids and probably around 40 first cousins or so. You would think that would have helped me feel happy and loved but it just caused an emptiness. My large family that once was so loving towards me in my childhood years, faded into the background during my early teen years. By age 16, I accepted my fate and desperately wanted to find a new family in friends. I never had any plans, making me the perfect “fallback friend”. If someone got grounded or bailed, I wou
The next few days went by without any other messages or notes. I was starting to think that someone did it just to see how I would react. I shoved it in the back of my mind and tried my best to forget about it. On my way onto campus the next day I parked in my usual spot and headed into the building. “Good morning Jeremy!” I said noticing my favorite security guard. “What brings you here today? I thought you were on rotation for the mathematics building this month.” “I go where I am needed.” He joked posing in a superhero stance with his hands balled into fists on his hips. “I guess there is a bug going around.” He shrugged chuckling to himself. “Well… I am happy to see you have avoided it so far. Don’t forge
I was nervous on my way to the director’s office. Today was just a formality for the previous department to give the replacement a run down. His last day is today so I am not sure what is going on, sweat started to form on the base of the back of my neck. I took a deep breath before knocking on the office door. “Come in.” He called from inside. “Oh good! Veronica, please have a seat. I have a special assignment for you.” Dr. Theodore Travis said with a smile. I didn’t realize he knew my name. I looked over and saw another man sitting in the office. He was older, around 60 if I guessed, gray-brown hair with a matching beard. More fit than your average lifelong research professor. His eyes were a strange amber color. &nbs
“Hey Janette, I don’t mean to bother you. I was looking over the contract and I’m positive there’s an error with my salary.” I said handing her the papers. She flipped to the correct page and looked it over, clearly for show. She picked up a pen from her desk and set it onto the contract in front of me. “There is no mistake, was that your only question? I suggest you sign before someone stops you.” She said with a sly grin and a quick wink. I was shocked. Thankfully, my body seemed to know what to do. I picked up the pen signing the new contract before Janette notarized it for me. She said the raise would be retroactive, apparently, they felt I was underpaid for the last 2 months. She produced my copy before sending me back into my office to finish settling in. I cleaned my morning away worki
The next morning, I woke up with more energy than expected. I had tossed and turned all night long replaying my afternoon with Nikola. My whole body wanted to see him again and feel him close to me. I was confused about this new…pull. Why was I feeling this way towards a stranger? The feeling was an odd comfort but nerve wrecking at the same time. I threw on my sports bra and my leggings and headed out the door for a run. Nothing would help me sort my thoughts like a run. The sun was still sleeping the air was cooler, around 60 degrees. I rounded the tree-filled lot on the corner and heard something large move. I stopped looking towards the woods. I left my phone behind today, wanting to enjoy the sounds of nature and a little quiet. I took a few steps towards the woods listening. After determining it was nothing, I shook it off and continued. I was out for around 45 minutes; about 4 miles. After an extra-long shower, thanks to my daydreaming of Nikola, I arr

Cyra POV The entire castle looked as if someone has designed it from a fairy tale. There were ribbons, candles, and flowers covering the castle and all the lands. My dress showed my pregnancy a little more than I would have liked. I was roughly around 18 weeks along with a belly to large for my body. The silver covered my skin, leaving my back open with a see-through lace. Nikola took me to my seat outside in the beautiful garden. The flowers were all in full bloom around us. I saw little lights dancing around as the sun began to set. I couldn’t believe in a few minutes; my daughter would be walking down the aisle. I noticed a wilted flower on the chair beside me. I gently placed my hand arou
Cyra POV After lunch Niko and I retired to take a nap. All the heightened emotions of those around me were starting to wear me out. Especially since the babies seemed to be feeding off the same energies. They were moving around as if I was already about to give birth. I woke before Nikola. I didn’t have the heart to move and wake him. He had something on his mind lately. I knew if I tried, I could figure it out. I didn’t want to invade his privacy. I couldn’t imagine what it was like to be on the opposite side of my gifts. “Angel, are you awake?” He said nuzzling my neck. “I was trying to let you slee
Nikola POV The last couple months had flown by. Cyra and I had been travelling back and forth to Occultatum. King James had been oddly helpful. I still had a feeling like there was something else he wasn’t telling us. Cyra trusted him too much in my opinion. My mother and Art called me just over a week ago. They had decided to relocate to our new back here in Ireland. I hadn’t told Cyra yet. I wanted to announce it at Torvi’s wedding this weekend. I knew she would be over the moon. I just hoped Art would take me up on my offer. I knew he never had any intentions of becoming a leader of his own pack. Peter had tried multiple times as well as other packs across the globe. He wanted to train war
Cyra POV “Good morning!” Sage cheered as she entered the living room. “Hello there. Surprise visit?” I questioned keeping my tone cheerful. “I just wanted to come see you early on the big day. How do you feel now that you’re about to give birth in a few months as your son graduates high school?” She chuckled. “Very funny. Honestly, it seems like this is the way it is meant to happen. Fate and all that.” I smiled back at her pulling the muffins out of the oven.&
Theo POV Finn and Torvi escorted us to Alpha Nikola’s new estate. Alpha Nikola… I couldn’t catch a break. It’s not that I wanted him to fail Cyra as a mate. I wanted the best for her. The jealousy that crept to the surface when I should be happy for her as well as Nikola was more than I could bear. I wanted to be happy for Nikola. If I was being honest with myself, he was more than I could have wished for in a companion for Cyra. Myself aside. I knew I wasn’t good enough for her. She deserved so much more. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. I had thought about it for a while now. I tried to speak with Nikola on the matter; he completely disregarded me. For someone who always h
