Syrill's POVWe spend the next few weeks searching for any trace of the old woman who took Nikki's baby. And finally, after weeks of searching, we hit a dead end. We've talked to every old woman in the pack and followed every lead, but we still can't find Nikki's baby.I can feel my frustration mounting as the days pass with no luck. We've gone down every lead we can find, and there's still no sign of the old woman or Nikki's baby. I can see the pain and sadness in Angela's eyes, and it breaks my heart.But we can't give up. We owe it to Nikki and her child to keep searching. "We'll find her, Angela," I say, trying to reassure her. "We won't stop until we do."Angela nods, and I can see the determination in her eyes. "We'll find her," she says firmly. "We have to."We continue our search, turning over every stone and following every lead. But the days turn into weeks, and we still have no luck. I can see the toll it's taking on Angela as a mother, and I know that I have to be strong f
Nikki's POVGoing straight to my home would be the worst thing for me to do. I wouldn't want to sulk and wallow in self pity as usual, so I decided to go straight to my saloon. I arrive at my salon and get to work immediately, feeling a sense of relief as I immerse myself in the familiar routine, going around and monitoring my girls on their duties. Just then, a girl, one of my customers, walks in with a guy by her side. I can't help but notice how attractive he is. They sit down in my chair, and one of my girls took her and begin to work on the girl's hair.Just the first time he has ever been around here with her. As my girl continus, I can't help but sneak glances at the guy from my seated end. He seems to notice, and flashes me a charming smile. I can feel my cheeks flush and my heart race. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I can't help but feel like there's some chemistry between us.I walk up to the girl, welcoming her like I do to all my customers each time anyone of them c
Lillo's POVAs I walk alongside Marcus, he starts a conversation about Nikki, the salon girl. "You know, Lillo, I can't believe how lucky I am to have found Nikki. She's amazing, isn't she?"I nod, knowing exactly how he feels. "Yes, she is. She's one of the strongest and most talented women I know."Marcus looks at me, his eyes shining with a mixture of love and admiration. "You know, Lillo, ever since the day I saw Nikki, I felt drawn to her. There was something about her that I just couldn't resist."I smile, happy for my friend. "I'm glad that you finally found the one you've been looking for. You deserve to be happy, Marcus."He nods, squeezing my hand. "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her. She's my true mate, Lillo. The one I've been longing for all this time."I feel a sense of joy for Marcus and Nikki. It's clear to me that they are meant to be together.We walk in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company. Then Marcus speaks up again.
Marcus's POVAs I walked hand in hand with Nikki through the park, my heart was racing with anticipation. I couldn't wait any longer to mark her as my mate, the woman I'd been searching for my entire life."Nikki, I know we said we would wait until the full moon, but I can't hold back anymore. I need to mark you as mine." My voice was low and husky, filled with a passion that I couldn't contain.Nikki looked up at me, her eyes filled with love and trust. "I'm ready, Marcus. I want you to mark me as yours."I felt a surge of possessiveness and love as I gently pulled her closer to me. As I looked into her eyes, I felt a connection like never before, a bond that was unbreakable.I leaned in and pressed my lips to her neck, inhaling her sweet scent as I did. I felt her shiver in response, and I knew that she felt the same intense passion that I did.Without another word, I carefully sank my teeth into her skin, marking her as mine forever. As I felt her warmth flow into me, I knew that w
Nikki's POVI woke up to the sound of a knock on my door. It was Sunday, and I was planning to spend the day relaxing at home. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I was curious to see who it was.As I opened the door, I saw Marcus standing there with a big smile on his face. He was holding several bags filled with stuff "Hey, Nikki," he said, stepping inside. "I thought I should come over and pay you a visit. Since you're not working today, I brought some things for you and for us to enjoy."I was surprised but also grateful for his kind gesture. "Thank you, Marcus," I said, smiling back at him. "That's very thoughtful of you." I accepted his gift and led the way into my apartment.We spent the day together, cooking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Marcus had brought everything we needed, and we made a delicious meal together. He even helped me with some household chores, which I appreciated.As the day went on, I realized how much I enjoyed spending time with him. He was cari
Nikki's POVI make my way to Marcus' apartment in the evening, still feeling uneasy after my conversation with Lillo earlier. I want to make things right between Marcus and me, but I'm not sure how to do that.When I arrive at his door, I see Marcus locking up his apartment. He looks up and sees me standing there. "What do you want, Nikki?" he asks, his voice cold and distant."I just want to talk, Marcus," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. "Can we please go inside and talk?"Marcus hesitates for a moment, then shakes his head. "I don't want to talk to you right now, Nikki. Please just leave."My heart sinks as I realize that he is still hurt and angry about my past. I take a step back from his door, feeling tears welling up in my eyes."Okay," I say softly. "I'll leave. But please know that I'm sorry for making you feel that bad by taking you back to your past, I never meant to hurt you. I was only being sincere with you."Marcus lets out a deep sigh, but he doesn't look at me.
Syrill's POVI quickly gather my thoughts and turn to my brother and two of my guards who are standing nearby. "Rowan, let's go to the old woman's house. I need to see this for myself.""Alright, Alpha."We quickly made our way out of the pack house, down to the woods where I went with my son, where the old woman was living. It's a small, dilapidated hut which I reconstructed because of my son, on the outskirts of our pack territory. Reaching there, the door is locked, but my guards break it down easily.The inside of the house is musty and dark, with cobwebs and dust covering everything, far worse than we saw it the previous time we came checking. We make our way to the back room, where the old woman used to keep my baby. The emptiness of the room is deafening, but I notice a small chest in the corner.I walk over to the chest and open it. Inside, I find a few old baby clothes, some baby blankets, and a worn-out diary. As I sift through the contents, I notice a folded piece of paper
Marcus POVI pull out my phone and dial Alpha Syrill's number, eager to discuss the business contract we've been working on. After a few rings, he answers, his deep voice coming through the line."Marcus, how are you?" he greets me warmly."I'm good, Alpha. We need to finalize the details of our contract. Can we meet tomorrow to go over everything?" I ask."Of course, Marcus. Just let me know the time and place.""Great, I'll send you the details. Oh, and there's something else I wanted to talk to you about," I pause for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "I've met my mate, Syrill. I'll be bringing her to the pack house soon."There's a brief moment of silence before Syrill speaks up. "That's great news, Marcus. I'm happy for you. What's her name?""I'd rather not say just yet, but I can assure you she's special. I hope you'll get the chance to meet her soon," I reply, a smile spreading across my face."Looking forward to it, Marcus. And congratulations once again," Syrill says warmly.
