NIRVANA “What the hell is going on between you and Knight?” Kailin just bombarded me in my room. Of course, no matter what, she was team Alpha Knight. The way she looked at me right now was filled with accusations and blame. Admittedly, I got too carried away with my anger. Instead of protecting his pack, he was away locking me up. Yeah, I blamed him for the attack. He should have been here with them. I should have been here for everyone. “Vana!” She shook me when I ignored answering her question. “Why don’t you ask him?” “You’re my best friend.” “And he’s your cousin and your alpha.” I arched a brow at her. “I just want to hear it from you.” I faced her. “Where’s Dane? Haven’t you seen him today?” She shook her head in annoyance. “Dane is working.” I smiled. “So, you two have mated?” “None of your business.” Her reply was defensive. At the same time, she blushed. “I don’t see his mark on your neck.” “Vana!” My smile faded. “I’m sure you know the answer. If I were here,
KNIGHT She still hated me. She did not even try to pretend or hide her anger. It hurt a lot, like my chest was always clenching, even though my ribs were already healing. My wolf was the one suffering from what I did. I gave her enough time and space she needed, but it didn’t change anything. “Nirvana did not come with you?” Califf asked as we both headed inside the council building. “I did not tell her what the meeting is all about.” “Let me guess, she’s still pissed at you.” “She hates me. It won’t change the fact that I betrayed her trust.” “You’re hurting, Knight.” “Damn right, I am. The world is on the brink of ending, and so does my marriage.” I let go of a shuddering breath. “Your bond is stronger than anything. Apologize properly, make her feel she’s wanted, and show her how much you love her. I know alpha’s pride, but sometimes, you have to swallow it for your mate’s sake. I did that many times for Shadow.” “Thanks.” We underwent an extra security check before going
KNIGHT “So? How do we find his bloodline?” The Vegas alpha shrugged. “He’s an arrogant son of a bitch.” I chuckled at Califf. “He should have not come here.” “Or maybe he will stop spreading this plague if we just turn over the dagger and Katzius’s descendant to him.” “Is that what you want, Grayson?” Califf grunted. He was still pissed for turning us down and breaking the alliances with us. “Do you think this virus will end? I don’t think so. He will rule our world, and no one will be safe and free. And you just signed your death warrant. He will control you, all of us.” “Yeah. That could work as a damage control,” Vegas Alpha agreed. “We will make a deal.” “You want to make a deal with someone like Cyrius? Are you kidding me?” I finally spoke. “Yeah, right? Because he will keep the end of the bargain.” “Maybe we should set up a meeting with him then and ask him what he wants.” “He wants to rule the underworld,” Victor said, “and if you’re willing to turn the underworld like
NIRVANAAfter I knocked down two guys guarding the door, I opened it. “Come on! Faster.” I got in and threw alphas outside, who had just been knocked out with the gas. It instantly made me cough. My nose and my eyes burned. Whatever was there was so potent that even as strong as an alpha could lose consciousness instantly.As the alpha rushed outside, I went to the other exit door, but Knight and Califf had already dragged a man with them.“Looks like we all have the same idea, Nirvana,” Alpha Frye said.“How about Grayson?” Knight asked, even if they already knew the answer.“He’s ready to be skewed.” I found Grayson lying on the floor in the pool of his blood. “That son of a bitch.” Califf grunted before turning to me. “How did you know we’re in trouble?”“In this chaos and threat, putting alphas in one room is always a bad idea. I wonder who came up with this meeting.”“We should ask Victor,” Knight suggested as we headed back to the alphas.“Hey, Alpha Knight.” The cocky alpha
KNIGHTShe still despised me. I could feel it, but she did save us all alphas, and now everyone was indebted to her, and we just acquired allies because of her bravery.I wanted to hug her, kiss her, and make love with her for the job well done, but that could wait. I broke her trust and didn’t know how to regain it.I just missed her. My wolf missed her. My wolf became restless without physical contact, so I sneaked into her room after dinner. I slept beside her, only to be woken up by a moan. She must be dreaming— a wild dream.“Nirvana?” I slightly nudged her, and she jolted to wake up, her chest heaving.Seemingly disoriented, she turned to me, horrified for a second. “Why are you in my bed?”“I was too tired to go home, so I decided to sneak in,” I told her the half-truth.“Really? You couldn’t ask anyone to drive you home?”“No, sweetheart. Unlike you, you can jump into places in seconds.” I lied back, hoping she let it go.“Unbelievable.”“Believe it or not. We worked all day,
NIRVANAOnce I finished writing the letter, I wiped the tears from my cheeks and folded the paper before I texted Zarah.My phone buzzed in my hand. Her name popped up on the screen.I picked up her call. “Hi.”“What is it this time?”I chuckled. “I can’t call just to say hello?”“No. What do you want?”“I have something I want you to give it to Knight if something happens to me.”“No. I’m not doing that, Nirvana.”“Please, this is important to me.”There was a long pause before she replied, “You better not die.”“That’s the least I want, Zarah, but just in case.”“Fine. I’ll drop by sooner. Anyway, what you did at the council was brave. I’m proud of you.”“Thanks, but?”“How are you and Knight?”“We’re okay.” I didn’t have to tell her the truth. She knew it anyway.“Yeah? That sounds like it. You have to forgive your husband, Nirvana. It’s not that he cheated on you, but what he did was to protect you. I would have done the same thing to the people I love. It may look like betrayal,
KNIGHT“Knight, get out of there now!” Nirvana sounded panicking over the phone.“What’s going on, Nirvana?”“I don’t have time to explain. Just get out of there and come directly to the vineyards.”For a moment, I froze until she screamed, “Please!”“All right, sweetheart.” I just hung up the call when everyone in the building screamed.I quickly linked Luka, who was waiting in the parking lot. “Ready the car. Something’s going on.”“Yes, alpha. The werewolves are coming after you. I just hit a wolf but saw five more entering the building.”“Shit. Return to the vineyards if I don’t make it there in three minutes. They need you there.”“No. I’m not leaving you behind. Luna and the others can handle themselves. You’re my alpha.”“Damn it, Luka!” I dashed outside my office only to be halted on the spot. One of my staff was on the floor, lying in his own pool of blood. Everyone erupted into a frenzy, screaming and running in different directions to save their own lives. I smelled a lot o
NIRVANAMy patient was so stubborn. The moment we went back home, he had a lot of complaints. When I told him to rest, he did the opposite, showing me how hard he was and had my mouth watering.My dream instantly flashed in my mind. And Knight just read my thoughts, causing him to smirk. If I could shut him up by giving him an orgasm, so be it. We ended up naked, and I was riding his cock.“This is a bad idea,” I said through gritted teeth.“You said it yourself. We needed more than a hug.” He bit his bottom lip to control his movements, but his muscles were straining.“You know that’s not what I meant, Knight.” But I knew myself. I missed him and was too needy, greedy, and desperate.“I know.”I opened my eyes to fire a retort, but I ended up moaning as his thumb went to my clit, stroking and teasing the sensitive bundle of nerves.My heart pumped so hard, and I rode him faster, bouncing above him. I pressed both hands on his sides as I leaned closer to kiss his lips.He kissed me ba
