The Red Wolf's Slave Mate The Bigger They Are
NICO“You have to calm down, Nico.” Victor pleaded. His face, still bloody from Mariana’s attack turned pale when he saw the look in my eyes.“Calm down?” With one hand I sent the kitchen table flying and crashing into the back door. Broken glass and ceramic crunched under my boots. I lifted Victor up by his neck and pushed him to the wall.His eyes bulged out of their sockets. I wanted to crush his windpipe. How dare he take Darina to that monster? I trusted them to look after her, to keep her safe.Mariana screamed at me to stop. “Nico, don’t! Victor only did what she asked him to do.” Mariana hung onto my arm.I dropped Victor to the ground where he lay fighting for breath. I turned on my aunt. She shrunk back from me.“And you!” I snarled at her, pointing, “Keeping the truth from me all these years. Everyone in the pack treated my mother like a whore and me like trash. And you knew…”“I promised your mother and I did it to protect you, Nico.” Mariana fisted my shirt in her hands.

“We share the same DNA but that is where it ends. You are nothing to me.” I huffed, holding the sharp steel against his throat.Darina screamed and pulled away from Victor. She ran to my side. “Don’t Nico. It won’t change the past.” Her soft hands closed around my hairy claw. I didn’t want her to touch me, didn’t want her to calm my rage. He deserved to die.“Get back!” I growled at her. She was dangerously near the beast, and I didn’t trust him not to use her against me.“Think of the future, our babies.” She knelt next to me, seemingly oblivious of the danger she was in; big grey eyes stared up into mine. “Don’t Nico. You are better than this.” She took the poker from my claw and placed her cheek against my palm. I felt the anger leaving my body as I caressed her soft skin.No! I grabbed her off her knees and threw her to the side. She slid across the floor, the poker clattering on the stone floor when it flew from her hand. I was on him in flash, my claws digging into his neck.“Wh

DARINA“Stupid, stupid girl! Going off like that and making me lose my mind!” Mariana laid into me the moment I stepped through the door. She shook me by the shoulders then hugged me. “What would I say to Nico if that beast killed you, huh?”“I’m fine and I’m sorry, Mariana. See, one piece.” I gently extracted myself from her steely grip.“For now.” Nico grumbled next to me.All the way back to his aunt’s place he didn’t speak a word to me. The icy looks he sent me warned of punishment to come. A delicious shiver went up and down my spine, but to be honest I was also a tiny bit afraid. For all his gentle words of love he was pissed as hell at me, and I’ve seen how violent he could be.“Glad you’re back, Alpha Nico.” A burly, darkhaired man greeted us, “Luna.” He bowed his head to me.“Luna?” I looked at Nico. He didn’t answer. How long would he give me the cold shoulder?“Alpha the warriors are getting impatient.” He took Nico to one side, and I went inside with Mariana.“Warriors?” I

It was good to be back, to see the familiar countryside again, smell the scent of home. Sal and Katherina welcomed us back.“Hell Boss, I thought you were never coming back. The rest of the guys are giving me all kinds of shit. And the girls at the club…” Salvatore bombarded Nico as soon as we set foot in the door.“Sal,” Nico pinched the bridge of his nose, “at least give us five minutes to breathe.”“Sorry, Boss. You’ve never been gone this long. And things just go to shit when you’re not here.”Katherina eyed the unknown band of men who came in with us. Not that I blame her, all of them were insanely hot-looking guys, tall and muscular.She whispered to me: “Are these Constantin’s men?”“We are Alpha Nico’s warriors Miss.” One of the young males said, “Constantin is no longer our Alpha.” His eyes roved over Katherina’s form, and he smirked appreciatively.Sal noticed it and glared at the younger man who returned his stare with his own, one eyebrow lifted as if challenging Sal.“The

“Wake up, Sleepyhead.” Nico whispered next to my ear, showering kisses all down my neck to suck and lick at his mark.I moaned, “Let me sleep just a little bit more…” my body was exhausted from last night’s lovemaking. I wasn’t sure I could move or wanted to.Nico chuckled softly, torturing me with his tongue and his hands roving over my body. I turned to him, opening my eyes only slightly. My eyelids felt like lead.“You’re a devil.” I groaned. “I don’t think I’d be able to get up.”He laughed deep in his throat. “I’ll take that as a compliment, baby girl.”I noticed he was fully dressed, grey Armani suit, light blue shirt, and matching tie. His hair was slicked back, and his beard neatly trimmed, picture perfect.“How long have I been asleep?” I sat up and stretched, yawning. He got off the bed and picked up a tray from the table.“Too long. I brought breakfast,” he said grinning at me.“Oh. I thought you were breakfast,” I giggled, taking the tray from him. He lifted one ginger bro

Was he abandoning me? I jumped up and walked back to the mansion, my heart in pieces. So much for being his soulmate. I hadn’t reached the metal gate when I was yanked back forcefully against his hard chest.“Don’t walk away from me, baby girl. I wasn’t finished and you’re jumping to conclusions already.” Strong hands on my arms turned me around to face him. I struggled in his grip, turning my face away. There was no way I wanted to hear him out.“Let me go! How can you say you love me only to throw me away like some used up toy? And what about these babies, your pups!” I shoved him in the chest, but it was like trying to move a mountain.“Listen to me for fuck’s sake! I’m not throwing you away, dammit. I want you to go to your mother and find out where the fuck your father is.” He forced me to look at him. Steely fingers gripped my jaw.“What do you mean? Where is my father?” Damn him, he could have started with that.He lips lifted in a sneer. “Gone. Vanished. Same time the fire sta
Last Updated : 2023-01-10The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Up in Smoke
NICO Leaving her there was the hardest thing I had to do. The look on her face before she walked away… I almost grabbed her and drove away. But she would be safer there with her mother. Fucking Alexi. I know I said I wouldn’t kill him, but he asked for this. Setting fire to the drugs was the last straw. The Colombian Cartel wasn’t to be toyed with. They’ve paid and expected delivery and he knew they would come for me if I didn’t deliver. Didn’t he care about his daughter?I stood waiting for Zane at the arrivals at Heathrow. He’d stuck out like a sore thumb he’s so damn huge. Asking for help wasn’t easy. I only did it for Darina and the pups. As far as I’m concerned, he’s nothing to me. He’s just a means to an end. If he killed Petrov, I could get my group back together and he can go back to his pack. I wanted no part of it.When all this is over, I’ll planned to go back to Constantin’s pack and appoint another Alpha. My life was here in London. Darina wanted us to start a new life s

DARINA“I’m sure I haven’t heard you correctly. You didn’t kill Daddy. Did you?” I was losing my mind. This can’t be happening. I’ve entered an alternate reality. Yes, that must be it. I pinched myself. It hurt.Mama watched me, her face a mask. “I did. He went to set fire to the factory but when he returned, we had an argument.”“No, no, no. Are you sure he’s dead?” images of my father lying injured and bleeding to death flashed through my mind. I ran upstairs with Mama following. I couldn’t picture my mother, the soft loving mother I knew, holding a firearm much less shooting my father.“You don’t want to see him like this, Darina.” She caught hold of my arm as I pulled the stairs down in the upstairs passage.I shoved her away from me, growling, my canines elongating, the she-wolf ready to defend. I remembered Mariana’s warning not to morph into my wolf. Mama gasped, staggering away from me. she blinked once, twice, uncertain of what she saw. Fortunately for me the passage was diml

The Red Wolf's Slave Mate A New Beginning
The atmosphere in the living room was tense as seconds ticked by waiting for Nico’s reply. His arm around my waist tightened and trying to calm him, I stroked his broad back, feeling the muscles contract under my palm.But then he spoke. “Zane, Mariana, I don’t want my children to grow up not knowing where they came from. I want them to know their grandparents.”I blew out a deep breath I never knew I held in. Nico looked at me and back at them. “All these years knowing what hell we’ve suffered at the hands of Constantin and yet you did nothing. It’s hard to wrap my head around it, knowing that I am your son.” The lines around his mouth deepened while he looked at Mariana.“I didn’t know everything, Nico. You know he never allowed us to visit.” Mariana stepped away from Zane who went to sit down with Anthony by his side. Anthony put a comforting hand on Zane’s thigh and Zane covered his hand with his own.Mariana reached for Nico. He made no move to go forward. “I never wanted to give
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate The Truth
DARINAWhat was taking so long? “I can’t stand it anymore. They should have been here already, Sanda. Something’s wrong.” I was in panic mode, pacing around the living room.“Slow down, my love. Nico won’t let himself get caught. You’re making yourself ill.” Sanda smiled serenely back at me, lounging on the couch.“I don’t know how you can just sit there so calmly. We should have gone with Zane.”“Darina,” Mama came into the living room with Daciana on her hip. “Is Lycas with you, because I can’t find him.” Daciana held onto Mama’s neck with her little fist in her mouth, giggling at us.That boy would be the death of me. “I left him in the playpen together with his sister, Mama.” He must have transformed again. I sighed. Using the mind link, I sent out messages to the pack to help find my small wolf cub. “I have a mind to spank his little behind.” I said, storming to the front door.“Boys will be boys.” Sanda laughed. “He’ll turn up when he’s hungry.”“Someone lost a pup?” Nico filled
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Resurrection
“Can everyone just calm the hell down!” I glared at Zane and Sanda. My grip on Darina tightened as I held her around her waist with her back to me, hiding my erection. She didn’t struggle but leaned back against me ever so slightly. “I get it, you are mad at me. I fucked up. Maybe.”That earned me a snort from Sanda and Zane’s eyebrows raised a few inches. He stood with his arms folded across his broad chest and I knew from the look in his eyes he was considering breaking a few bones.“But as soon as the dust settles and we’re all back at Romania, we can go on with our lives. Just like you wanted. No more humans trying to get us killed or wanting to use our pups for lab rats. No more Mafia. Okay?” By the gods! What more did they want from me?Sanda came towards me. “Idiot.” Her hands on her hips, she glared at me, “You should have trusted us.”“Sanda’s right.” Darina wriggled her way out of my grasp. “That’s not how you treat us, your mates. We don’t keep secrets from you.” She went t
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate A Wolf in the Stables
NICOA few days earlierJohn wasn’t kidding. That blast knocked the shit out of me, also, burned off my clothes. I guess I should have moved further away before I pressed the button. Then I heard Sanda scream, and it took all of my willpower to stop the wolf from rushing back to comfort her.Our mate was in anguish, and he fought me with everything he had to go there. She was crying, screaming my name. I dug my nails into the earth and clamped my jaw shut not to cry out. The wolf turned his back on me in disgust.We’ll go back when it’s dark, hide in the stables. I tried to placate him, but he huffed and turned away. My blood turned to ice when I heard the men screaming for Darina to stop. Oh, no! She ran towards the burning wreck! That was when the wolf took over. There was nothing holding him back. He rushed towards the blaze, but the heat was too much. Whining he backpedaled.But then Sanda came, and I heard her say that no one could survive that. I reigned the wolf in hard. Patie
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate The Funeral
The day of Nico’s funeral came, the day all of us dreaded. Zane, silent as a ghost, moved about the mansion, looking but not seeing, touching things but not feeling. I had no words for him. Because I felt the same. Mama knew better not to touch me or look at me with pity. She only did that once and I snapped at her. I needed to be strong for my babies and for Sanda. She needed me more than ever. More than once I found her in the bathroom, hiding in a corner, crying. I’ve never seen my dear one so broken.“What makes it so hard for me, is that I could do nothing to protect you or Nico.” She said through her tears, “I’ve failed both of you.”I took her into my arms and stroked her tear-streaked face. “Nonsense. Stop this. If we have to blame someone, blame Nico. His arrogance got him killed. Nothing else.” I kissed her trembling lips, closing my eyes, because I didn’t want her to see how deep the hurt was that I felt.So many cars, so many people coming to his send off. All of his assoc
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Grief
DARINAMen running, women screaming and above them all I heard Sanda’s voice lifting into a howl. I crushed the twins to my chest, wide-eyed and terrified. My legs wanted to run, to see what was happening, but my brain refused to cooperate.Katherina ran to me, clutching her belly. “Darina! Oh, my God!” She fell down at my feet, sobbing.I was frozen like a statue with the twins in my arms. They cried just as hard as Katherina. She looked up at me. “His car… oh, my God, his car…”Something snapped into place in my brain. “Whose car?” Nico and Sal went out early that morning. I put the twins down next to Katherina and my legs carried me out of the house.When I saw the inferno in front of me, I sank boneless to the ground. “No. No. No.” I couldn’t believe it. Not Nico. Not my mate.Sanda ran to me, her face contorted with anguish. “Darina, he’s in there. We have to get him out.” She screamed at me, but my ears refused to hear.“It can’t be. No.” I clawed at the earth beneath me. Sanda
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Being Dead
NICOHours earlier“Are you sure about this, Boss? I mean, why do this now when everything is going so well? We’ve destroyed our enemies and we have control over the city once more.” Sal tried his best to convince me to discard my plans. Although he did everything I asked him to do, he wasn’t happy about it. Which was fine by me, he didn’t have to like it.The meeting with my associates went well. Business was picking up and the money rolled in. Problems with the cops and the feds were minor. Most of them could be bought, it was just a matter of the right price.Sal and I were having lunch at a bar in London, going over the plans for my death.I touched Sal’s shoulder. “Yes, Salvatore. I am doing this for my mates and my pups. Zane is right, I don’t want this life for my children.” I twirled the glass in my hand, staring at the golden liquid. Besides, I owed it to my pack because of all the trouble I caused.“But you lived for this, for our business.” Sal groaned, “I can’t do this wit
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Mostly Human
DARINA I can’t believe the arrogance of this man! Acting like he is invincible or immortal for that matter. Sanda followed Nico around like a watchdog, she never says it, but I know she loves him with every fiber in her body, just like I do. Thank the gods for the twins, because I would lose my mind worrying about Nico and our safety.“He just received another threat, I heard when he answered his cellphone.” Sanda came into the nursery where I had just bathed the twins and put them in their cribs. “The voice was disguised, like they used some kind of machine.” She plopped herself down onto the rocking chair, holding Daciana’s pink unicorn on her lap.My hands stilled on the clothes I folded. “Sanda, if you continue trying to be his bodyguard, you’ll make yourself sick. If anything should happen, there’s not much we can do about it, is there?” I made my voice sound casual, but my stomach clenched with anxiety.She glared at me like I was crazy. “Don’t patronize me! You’re just as worr
The Red Wolf's Slave Mate Death Threats
“You have officially lost your mind.” Salvatore spat out his cigarette. “What the fuck’s wrong with you, Nico?”“Lower your goddamn voice.” I growled at him and pulled him after me down the steps. “I don’t want the girls to hear us.”He pulled his arm out of my grasp. “Well, I think they should. Talk some sense into your…”“Salvatore!” I let my Alpha aura wash over him and he submitted at once, dipping his head in deference. “Let’s take a walk to the stables.”He followed me, silenced by my authority. It started to rain, and I lifted my face to the cold, grey sky. I would miss this place. This was the first place where I felt I belonged.Sal drew his hand through his dark mop of hair. “Please tell me you’re not serious.”“Dead serious. I want to fake my death. But it must look believable.” I went into the stables, inhaling the warm scent of hay and horses. There was no way I was going to leave my horse here.Salvatore looked at me as if I had grown horns. “How the hell do you expect m
