NIKKI "And did you just run off, just like that?” she sounds perplexed. "Yeah, it's safe to say I ran for my life.”"Say what now?” Her brows are arched. “You’re getting me confused. What should I have done? Do his laundry before leaving or make him his last meal, or...”"Damn, Nikki. How about making him a replica of yourself to keep his bed warm? You know I’m not all about that crap.”"Okay? You should spill at this moment. Because if it's ironing things out...it’s a no. If I had spent one more minute in there, I would be a captive for life and you will be over here writing notes I would read but cannot reply to, thinking I’m fine as my ass.”"Your ass indeed. I meant to destroy his freaking face with hard blows, slaps, and scratches. Put your freaking nails to good use, girl.” She sounds pissed. "How can you just up and leave?”"It sounds tempting, but I’ll pass. I'm certain I will have my eyes totally removed if I did that.”"He wouldn't dare, stop hyping this motherfucker.”"I
AALIYAH.Restless, I pace back and forth in my room, Nikki might be down this minute and up the next and one thing is certain, she will be all out for baby Hendrix, she will want to see him, touch him, and play with him.Like she's obsessed with my mini, as the cute godmother she is. And not until she sees him or gets a tangible reply as to why not, she wouldn't let me breathe. If she gets to know about him being missing, she will also know the original letter and my evil plans, disregarding that it's for the right course. Will she be a party to it? Knowing Nikki and how much of a true friend she is, she won't think twice before calling me to order...but she will never sell me out. What if this time is different? And what if she does?I sigh. It's all on me, I can choose to shut her out in some areas. From now henceforth, she only gets to know what I tell her. It will be difficult, because Nikki is like a dog, sniffing out all the grey areas. But before that, I need to talk to eith
NIKKI.With gentle strides, I walk down the corridor, admiring the beautiful sculptures and landscape portraits, and they are as beautiful just like I remember them to be. The walls, and paintings, though renewed but feel the same. At the extreme is the King sized bedroom that holds lots of memories and bliss and terror. How going in and bagging tortures and bruises was the only way to prove your worth. How being a destitute sting more than being rejected by your mate. And even though you are wild as eff, the brutality of Lady Sasha’s whip was enough to make you petrified. Those years when a few days all we wanted was cheap validation from our foes, still wearing the tags of slaves. We wanted freedom even though we were scared of what the actual world now looks like and most of the days, we only wanted good meals free of wolf's bane. We fought for survival and tasted betrayal from the closest of them all. Got maltreated by our fellow slaves and topping the chart is strongest, Aaliy
AALIYAH I twist the door knob to the right, let myself in without his consent, and slam the door. I look to see his surprised stare like he doesn't do worst. But I understand him, for someone who's in constant clash with you, it's weird seeing them in your space. “Aaliyah, I don't want no troubles. Why are you here?” His cold voice speaks up. I don't respond, rather I size him thoroughly. He's bare-chested and in a skimpy bath towel, revealing his hairy thighs. His eyes walk all over me, trying to get what this drama is all about. Still keeping mute, I stroll to his bathroom area and turn to wink at him. "Aaliyah, you can't just come over and act like everything is okay. You're clearly too sensitive of late and I rather we keep off each others lane.”"Am I? I thought we’re cool as shit.” I pout. "Moon, what's with you? You called me all sorts of names earlier in the general chamber, you did not just disrespect me but my title and you shut me up in the dining area. I can go on a
AALIYAH After the pure intimacy in the bathtub, Hector carries me in his arms, out of the bathroom, and onto his large bed. I lay on the bed and in his arms, cuddled like a child. My eyes travel along his chest, and my hand plays with his chest hair before leaning closer to layer kisses on it. “Hmm...” He moans, and buries his nose in my hair, sniffing my shampoo and stroking my hair tenderly. “Hector,” I tilt my chin upwards so that my gaze is on him and pause to fully gain his attention. "Yes, dear.” He looks down to meet my gaze and rests on his elbow, gaining stability. His eyes glitter and he looks as though he's fighting the smile that lurks around his lips. He knows when I need him to be serious and right now is one of those times."What's amusing you?” I can't help but be curious. “Nothing serious.” He tries to shift the focus."Of course, it’s not, so what is it?”"It's just that you came in steamy and horny, despite our recent friction, I’m the way suitable to satisfy
NIKKI The cool morning breeze kisses my skin, erupting goose bumps at its awakening and almost freezing my blood. My lids flicker and open widely, taking in everything in sight at a glance. I clutch the bed sheet to my bosom, my muscles too flaccid to as little as move.I stretch lazily, yawning all through. Morning came earlier than expected, but it's not something to worry about, considering I’m not in Wild Crest Pack. Back in Wild Crest pack, I would be up and about. Doing all the activities that should be done in the morning as the pack’s Luna and even extra spicy as Chris’ mate. Despite having servants around, I like being in control and I super hate it when something flops. So I made sure the servants only do the basic things while we were yet to wake or tired down in bed to pleasure ourselves. Countless times, Chris has asked that I go easy on myself, but I can't help it... More like I was wired to be the control freak kind of lady. And right now, I have the liberty of sprea
NIKKI So petrified, I hurriedly pick out a dress from the wardrobe, not minding the odd colour combination. All that matters is finding the freaking face behind their masks. I get ready in a split second and rush out of the room. Standing in front of the door, I practise breathing exercises to free my lungs which feel like exploding into shreds. “Nikki, a calm mind is better than wealth.” I recite the mantra absent-minded. I have to calm down. I'm going to get answers and not snap their head off. Breathing in and out slowly for a few more minutes, I walk towards her room in hurried strides. “Oh moon!” I jolt like lightning, cussing under my nose. Not concentrating like I should, I bumped into someone. I raise my head to see it's one of the alphas... Alpha Hunter to be exact. "I'm so sorry I startled you.” He tenders an apology, wearing a smile. I can't tell if he's laughing at me for my odd appearance or that I’m disorganised or that I almost jumped out of my skin. Well, it sh
NIKKI I knock on the door just once, I’m impatient to wait for a response. I knock for the second time and already exhausted, I enter and shut it behind me. “You never get to wait for a response. What if I’m doing something discreet?” she turns to look at me, her eyes are shooting daggers. "It's always blissful to have a secret partner watching, don't you agree?” I roll my eyes at her before taking to laughter. A peal of laughter that feels choking at the moment. Can I fucking be straightforward with these masked people? ‘Calm down Nikki, be sure before you leap.’ My wolf mutters. ‘Indeed! Not like I’m stabbing anyone, it's just confrontation. Why am I making a big deal out of this?’“Not in the slightest... You also don't want to be part of this secrecy.” She eases. I scan her from head to toe and take note of her big boobs strap in a half-cup strapless lacy bra that's very much enthralling. The black-to-match thong is beaded in the centre, in a straight line. Her rich and thi
