And he wants me alone in here, for what reason, exactly? It can’t be because he trusts me since he doesn’t even know me. So what is it? I should confront him about it, but I think I’ve seen enough of him for today. Apparently fate doesn’t think so, because who do I see, shirtless and walking in onl
Verena Nothing has really happened for about a week after the incident at Alpha Niklaus’ apartment. He hasn’t walked around half naked in his kitchen, either. I’m not sure whether that disappoints me or makes me happy. I’m settling in nicely, with a routine planned out after I finish work just aft
“Why did I warn you about the plot to kill your sister when I knew nothing about her?” I say, crossing my arms. “You can believe me or not, I don’t care; but I have absolutely fucking nothing to lose by lying.” Alpha Niklaus chuckles and leans back in his chair, while Ares now seems just about read
Niklaus The second she walked into the place, I knew I shouldn’t have asked her to help out. That dress clings to her like a second skin, those legs that go on for miles makes me want to wrap them around my neck. And fuck…she looks perfect in that collar. I’m sitting in the VIP section with my brothers, going over everything for the ‘funeral’ this weekend. My mind should be here, I should be focussed on this and not the beautiful brunette across the room. It’s been five hours. Five fucking hours and all I can think about is bending her over that bar. “Fuck, she’s got him,” Ares comments as he hands me a glass. “And don’t even try to deny it.” I scowl at him. “What is that supposed to mean?” “It means a week ago, you would have banished that Rogue from our territories, and now you have her playing waitress,” he says with a shrug. “Do you want to fuck her that bad?” I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Are you forgetting she has given us valuable information, not only once, but twice
She’s burst into my life, warning me about enemies close to me and saving my sister. Is it because I know nothing about her and she’s refusing to be open with me? “What can I get you, Alpha?” I’m so lost in my own head that I didn’t even notice she’s standing in front of me. She’s wearing a smile that doesn’t seem to be fake, which is something I am not used to seeing on her. That and her eyes are glazed. “Dalmore 62, the entire bottle, please,” I say as I lean my elbow against the counter and watch her work. She’s flushed, so I know she’s aware of my gaze, and when she turns back with a bottle and a pitcher of ice, I can see something’s off. “Have you been drinking?” She blinks and shakes her head, placing both things in front of me. “N-no… I mean, I had a sh–shot with one of the guests, but I know how to hold my liquor—” then she sways and stumbles backwards. I growl and move behind the counter before she falls, gesturing to Laz to come over as I scoop her into my arms. “What’
Verena I wake with a start, my head aching as if I drank two bottles of red wine in one sitting the night before. “Ow…” I trail off as I reach for my cell phone on my nightstand…then my heart drops when I see the time. “Shit, shit, shit!” I exclaim and rush out of bed, only to scream when I see Al
“I die five years into the future,” Gods, that sounds weird. “My sister, who is Lucan’s mistress, killed me after I ended up pregnant with Lucan’s child and he finally decided to leave her.” He shakes his head. “This is fucking crazy, and I don’t know if I believe you.” I shrug. “I mean, I know a
Niklaus “She’s telling the truth,” “I know,” I say, not even looking at Shelby. There was no doubt about it; I could see on Verena’s face just how shocked she was that it wasn’t the Goddess’ doing. I don’t think she’s lying, either. “Have you ever heard of something like this?” Shelby shakes her
