As Genevieve's voice boomed in the air, the trip froze as they looked all around. However, they couldn't spot her."Show yourself, Genevieve." Roman thundered. He was becoming too impatient. He just wanted to find his Nicole."Oh, dear Roman. I see you are here, mate." Genevieve said, her voice containing a tinge of amusement.Roman cringed due to the way she called him mate. At this point, he detested the idea of being a mate to someone. Slowly, a dark light started to form before them, and before they knew it, she was standing before them in a black dress and a veil covering her face."It's good to see you all, again." She said, like an amicable hostess.Immediately, Nate snorted as he tried to feel the energy in the air. He wanted to know if Nicole was close by. In the next second, he could feel a faint energy belonging to Nicole. At this point, he knew they didn't have much time.The trio looked around but they couldn't spot any traces of Nicole. The image Roman had seen in the m
There was loud cackling in the air and Genevieve stood above Roman who had fallen onto his knees. She had a sword stained with Roman's blood, in hand. Her dress was torn and parts of her pale skin were visible.On the other hand, Nate and Bryce were nowhere to be seen.Nicole and Roman were now left to face Genevieve, together."W..what did you do?" Nicole cried out as she saw blood dripping down Roman's neck. His face was turning pale due to blood loss."Oh, you are awake!" Genevieve said with a smile."I guess the ritual worked then!" She added. It turned out that alongside capturing Nicole, she had been performing a series of witchcraft experiments on Nicole.Genevieve had originally taken a vial of Roman's blood. She had planned for Roman to mark Nicole and then she would break the bond using the blood bond she had created using their blood.That was how Roman's blood was effective on Nicole."You are not going to get what you want, Genevieve!" Nicole said, through gritted teeth.
Genevieve's eyes widened in shock and then her face was filled with pain. Her face turned pale as Nicole twisted her claws in Genevieve's chest."W...what... How..." Genevieve tried to say but then her eyes were starting to close. Nicole's eyes shone with victory and her full attention was on Genevieve.However, the witch wasn't about to give up. In the next second, she stretched her hands and dark light shot out from her fingers.Nicole moved to the side quickly, however, she was still hit by the light from one finger. "Ahhhh..." Nicole screamed as she was pushed a few feets away. She couldn't steady herself and she fell from the altar.Her back hit the ground with a loud thud and she groaned in pain. On the other hand, Genevieve's eyes were half closed. But then she could still stand on her wobbly feet.Her hand clutched her chest which was dripping with blood.She tried to heal herself but it was slow.At this point, she could heal herself with her powers because she was too wea
It had been days and Nicole had been in deep sleep.Her body was wrapped in thick bandages as she lay on the king-sized bed.Roman was seen pacing around the bedroom while the Pack's healer attended to her."Any complications?" Roman asked as soon as the healer started to pack up his things."No complications." The healer said, going to stand before Roman."Then why is she not awake?" Roman asked, with worry written all over his face.He knew Nicole had a wolf now and she was supposed to heal faster.He didn't know what was happening."How have you been treating her?" He tried to ask because most members of the Pack still thought of her as human."I have been administering normal human treatment. Things should get better soon." The healer said.At this point, Roman realized the healer was getting things all wrong."She is not human!" He said, surprising and confusing the healer at the same time."What do you mean?" The healer asked, with a frown on his face."I mean she is a Werewolf!
"Nicole!" Roman yelled, with a surprised expression on his face. Quickly, he rushed toward the bed with a happy look on his face."Are you okay?" He asked, immediately he got to her side. He sat on the bed, slowly and looked straight at her.A frown formed on his face when he realized he couldn't even touch her skin, to check her temperature. Everywhere was covered.However, Nicole continued to look at him, listlessly.Roman was a bit confused as to why she was like that. He was about to mind-link the guards to get the healer but then he saw her moving. "What do you want?" He asked, holding onto her. He didn't want to hold on too tightly because of her wounds."W...a..." Nicole tried to say but it was hard forming a word. Her lips were cracked and her throat felt clogged. The bandage around her body was too uncomfortable and her brain had been dormant for days. "You need water?" Roman asked, immediately after he reasoned a little bit.Nicole nodded slowly and immediately he dashed
As she continued to push against him, Roman held her close.His hold around her waist tightened and his hand found its way into her hair."Let it out! However, you want." He said as he endured her hits and pinches. After a minute, Nicole started to calm down. However, her lips trembled and her sobs increased.A torrent of tears ran down her eyes and yelled, "Why?!" She said. She had been acting really strong and she endured all the blame, pain, and accusations thrown toward her."I'm sorry!" Roman said and that was all he could say. His eyes were red and somehow he could feel Nicole's pain. His brows furrowed for a second as he tried to reason what was happening. On the surface, everything still looked the same but then they had been tied by a blood bond by Genevieve. The experiments and rituals she had performed using Nicole.Nicole continued to sob against Roman. Her face was stained with tears and his shirt was soaked and dirty. Slowly, her sobs turned quiet, and slowly her eye
"Genevieve?" Roman asked back with an uncomfortable look on his face. There was a frown on his face and it deepened.He didn't feel good that Nicole was asking about her. "Does she not trust me?" He asked himself."Yes, is she really dead?" She asked, with a frown. Her eyes moved, searching Roman's face for any contrary expression."We left her by the riverside." Roman said, and Nicole frowned."Did she really die?" Nicole asked, worriedly. She started to wonder why they would leave her by the riverside, instead of just burying her six feet under the ground."Yes, I killed her myself." He said, without remorse. However, he was curious to know why she would ask about Genevieve now."Does it have anything to do with her dream?" He asked himself."Do you think she might still be alive?" She asked, with wide eyes. She then clutched onto Roman's still-wet shirt. What she had seen in the dream was too vivid and too frightening.Why would a dead person appear to her?"I know she is dead! I
Roman was speechless for a second. He looked like he couldn't believe what she was saying for a second. "What do you mean?" He finally asked, with a frown. He didn't despise the idea of the soul bond. At least, he would be able to think that he was bonded to her. "I mean..." Nicole started to say, however, her voice drawled out. She tried to find words to piece together, in her head. "All Genevieve wanted was for me to suffer." She said and Roman nodded slowly.However, he still didn't know where she was headed."And then...?" He asked. "She made the soul bond so I could suffer." She repeated."She was very certain that she was going to have you. She had planned to get me killed eventually, however, she wanted me to die in a more cruel way." She said, in one breath. Roman looked lost for a moment, however, in the next second, his eyes turned wide.He realized what she was trying to say all along and immediately, he drew her into his embrace."I'm sorry, Nic." He said, burying his
