All Chapters of DEVIL'S TRAP: MARRIED TO THE VETOED ALPHA: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Tiana sat on the bed waiting for Nicklaus to come after eating dinner without him yet another night. There were a lot of things they needed to talk about but she didn't want to fight with him again. Because that's what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?His voice echoed in Tiana’s head. She never thought of him as a beast she just thought that he was different. He looked hurt before walking out of the dining room as if he didn't want to see her again and she wondered if he really wouldn't come. Would she have to sleep alone again? she didn't even get the chance to thank him for bringing Sandra and MargretTiana decided not to sleep alone and go look for him. She looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Where could he be?"Do you know where I can find his highness?" she asked a guard."He is in the barn, Your highness."she made her way to the barn where she found Nicklaus feeding his horse. It

Laying in the bathtub as Margret washed her hair after Nicklaus had left to let her sleep some more. She knew that Margret wanted to ask something but didn't know if she should, so she was silent."He kissed me," Tiana said. Margret’s eyes sparkled."Really? Finally!" she said, "How did it feel?""It felt..." she remembered when their lips touched the warmth that spread through her body and when their lips separated the emptiness and coldness that came with it. She wanted more, "It felt good," she said."But you just kissed nothing more?" Margret asked."No,""Don't worry there will be more," she said."Maggy?""Yes, my lady,""How does the first time feel?" Tiana asked. Margret sensed that she was worried it would hurt and that she wouldn't like it. Just the thought of being naked in front of a man made her cheeks burn."Don't worry. I am sure his highness will be gentle since he seems to care for you" Margret said reassuring her "trust me, no man would have waited so long for the wo

We sat leaning against a tree after Nicklaus told his men that they should rest for a while. Tiana knew he was doing it for her."Where are we going?" she asked."To Nephus, To your family." He was going to ask her father to help in this war between brothers. "Will you really kill your brothers?" she asked carefully."Yes" he said without hesitation. She shivered at the thought."Even your nephews?" he clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, then opened them again."I won't have to kill them because my brothers will."Why? They are just kids. Why kill your family for the throne? That's something she could never understand.Standing up "we should continue" he said. They continued their journey and reached there at night, after riding the whole day.Tiana’s brothers were the ones to welcome them. They spoke mostly to Nicklaus, ignoring her totally. She wasn’t expecting more. They were never close. Their family always separated men and women. While men were respected, almost worshipped wom

They were riding fast through the woods after leaving her father disappointed for failing in his mission to make her stay.“Are you sure you want to come with me?" Nicklaus had asked. "Your life will be in danger."Tiana had decided that she would rather live in danger than live like a dead person, but that wasn't the main reason she didn't want to stay. She didn't want to stay because she wanted to be with her husband."Feeling alright?" Nicklaus asked after slowing down."Yes, I am fine. I think I am getting used to it" Tiana said, slightly delighted. "Where are we going?""To Crescent pack" he replied. Crescent, a pack known for its wars, slavery and prostitution. Their alpha was a cruel one with a thirst for blood and appetite for women. It is said that he takes a new wife and a new concubine every day and that liquor, parties and sex are a part of his daily life and everyone else's living in the pack."Are you sure it's a good idea to go there?" Tiana asked, she heard about Cresc

Back in the room;Tiana laid in the bathtub filled with hot water, thinking about what the guards had said about her. She shouldn't have slapped Nicklaus in front of his men. It was disrespectful, and still he hadn't got angry with her.Nicklaus was asleep when she came back to the room, so she asked a maid to prepare a hot bath for her. The hot water was soothing, relaxing her tense muscles until it felt like a massage and in a moment it made her fall into a deep sleep.She woke up shifting in the bed. The soft satin sheets rubbed against her skin and she realized she was not wearing much. Tiana quickly sat up on the bed and lifted the sheet up. She was only wearing a towel, her shoulders, legs and thighs were bare. It took her a moment to remember that she was taking a bath earlier and fell asleep and now here she was. How?A sound made her look to her side. Nicklaus was sitting in a chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he studied her with those extraordinary eyes. He was the only
