All Chapters of “Nadia Shackles” Tied To The Alpha King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nadia's POVI hum lightly as I look out the back window of the limo as it drives up whatever road we're on. We've been on the road for quite a while. I forgot really how much distance is in between our packS and the human towns. Honestly, I haven't been out of the packlands much since the incident, so all this territory is new to me. Still, it isn't too interesting, mostly greenery and old, tall trees lining the side of the road.Nate has hardly said a word on the trip so far, he's been on his phone taking multiple calls which I can only assume is due to the reason that he needs to head back to the palace a day early. I'm curious as to what could be so urgent that he had to rush out of Pure Moon like it was on fire, but I mean it really isn't any of my business. I'm a guest traveling with him, not his personal assistant or anyone close to him to even be privileged to know.I continue to hum quietly, losing myself in the melody of the song until I see lights, and sure enough we're ente

Nathaniel's POVI watch as Nadia walks beside me as we enter the palace with Tobias following behind with Nadia's bags. My mind is still swimming with thoughts that threaten to undo all my self-control. The kiss between us was pure and welcomed insanity. Feeling her on top of me, fighting for dominance? Pure primal nature and I wanted more.I can't help but chuckle as she turns slightly to look at me, her eyes widened in shock and awe."This is." she trails off, turning herself in every direction, clearly still in a state of bewilderment at what I can only assume is the furnishings and overall state of the palace having not stepped footin it before.The main hall is decorated with an assortment of expensive paintings and decorations on pure white walls, with marble flooring – white with streaks of black and silver. Dark wooden accented tables and stands with roses and other flowers litter the main entrance, matching the giant archway that leads into the next part of the palace.We're

Nadia's POVIt's now the day before the mating ball. I've been here at the palace for almost a week. Nathaniel and I have spent a lot of time together regardless of his duties here, and it's the most content I've felt inyears. He treats me kindly, respectfully and like an actual person. We've gone for walks around the palace, eating dinners together in his wing and watching movies before retiring to bed.I don't want to leave. This has been the escape I've been looking for all along.I'm nervous for when the entire pack arrives tomorrow, but it's like some of my sense of self has returned this week. Mentally, I feel stronger, more like myself again. I know that without Seles I won't be whole, but at least I'm feeling better than I had when I had decided to leave and become a rogue.Something about Nathaniel just draws me to him. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm not complaining.I keep thinking to myself as I walk into the ballroom, now complete with the mating ball and head to th

Nadia's POV"Wolfsbane?" Tobias asks quietly, and Nathaniel nods. Tobias, Gabby, and Lynette have now joined Nathaniel and I back in his wing in the main living area. Nathaniel is pacing back and forth inthe open space between the couch and wall- nounted TV, Evie is sitting beside me on the couch and Gabby and Tobias are opposite of us on the other couch. Nathaniel had mind-linked Tobias and asked him to grab Gabby and Evie to let them know too. The anxiousness and concern filling the room is maddening, but soon the silence is broken. "You know it's completely possible that a certain someone did this." Gabby states plainly and I sigh."You think Mike did it." I say, and Gabby nods briefly before going into his reasoning. "Nadia, he's been going after you for years. You coming here away from his abuse and mistreatment? I wouldn't put it past him to make this kind of move as punishment.""There's no way to prove it. There are at least 150 wolves here from three different packs." Evie

Nadia's POVI walk into the bedroom that Nate and I are staying in and drop my bags on the far side of the room, near the curtain-covered window. They land with a soft thump, and I turn around and take the room in.It's a simple design, with cream-coloured carpets, deep wine painted walls with a matching large bed in the center. The sun is shining through the sheer curtains, illuminating the entire room. On the far side near the door is the entrance to the separate bathroom, and beside that is a sliding door closet, which is where Nate is standing currently with the door open. I watch as he grabs some hangers from the closet and sets them on the bed, then lifts his suitcase onto the bed, fluctuating with the change in weight.He looks at me then, smiling. "Is there anything you need to hang up on?"I think to myself as to what's in my suitcase and I nod. Turning around, I grab my suitcase off the floor, and place it on the other side of the bed and open it. I pull out my dresses and s
