"Ahhhhh…" Nicole screamed and they both rushed toward Roman."Roman…" Nicole called out."Boss…" The driver called at the same time.Nicole was incredibly panicky as she ran toward Roman but then the driver knew Roman was fine.Getting to Roman, Nicole slumped to the ground. Her face was filled with disbelief and shock.She was sure that he had a gunshot to his heart but then she could only blotches of blood on his chest."He was shot, right?" She asked, to no one in particular. "We don't have time for that, Nicole. We need to take him home, he will be fine." The driver said and then proceeded to carry Roman. couldn'tHowever, Roman was incredibly heavy and huge for him. At the same time, he didn't want to ask Nicole for help.****A day later, Roman was laying still on his bed and Nicole sat solemnly on the sofa.Also, Bryce and Jamie were in the bedroom and the overwhelming aura they possessed made Nicole a bit afraid.Seeing what had happened that night, she was starting to look

All heads turned toward the elder who had just spoken. The pack members were surprised at the way the elder called out to the Alpha, and also indirectly said the Alpha was lying."What do you mean, Nate?" Bryce asked with a defiant look in his eyes. He didn't believe that anyone would go against him in the pack, except his parents. His parents were not even in the pack at that moment. "It's a simple knowledge, Alpha. You know you have not communicated with your wolf for a long time now. He has refused to grant you an audience." Nate replied a few seconds after Bryce completed his words. Murmurs started to go around the common hall. Almost all the members of the pack had come down to the common hall. The news of the Alpha has spread and everyone wanted to see their Luna. However, they were met with another shocking news. The Alpha had not been communicating with his wolf! "How can he say that about the Alpha? That is absurd." A loud member's voice sounded out and the other members

"No, grandfather. I can never do that!" Roman replied immediately after. His heart clenched in pain at the thought of losing Nicole whom he just met."What do you mean, no? She's a potential threat to our race. Her father is a freaking hunter and she's about to join the hunter's group." Bryce explained. It was also obvious that he was disappointed with Roman. Hearing his grandfather's words, Roman almost stumbled for a second. He had asked for a report on Nicole's family and he was yet to have it.But then he didn't think her family was into something so deep. He looked up to his grandfather who expected him to take up the gun and put a bullet through Nicole's head and he shook his head."Why did you agree to lend her father money since you knew they were hunters, huh?" Roman asked after a little reasoning.He didn't think his grandfather was that generous. "That's none of your business, Roman." Bryce said but his words wouldn't convince Roman a bit."Then she won't join the hunte

Immediately after Roman said those words, he turned to walk away. Nicole was still standing still, her mind reeling from the shock that Roman knew who she really was.As Roman continued to walk forward, he didn't bother to look back at her. Though Nicole indirectly calling him a murderer hurt him, he didn't want to think he was one.Roman was almost at the house and then one of his gang members approached him, "Boss, these are records of Jake's trafficking." The member said and handed Roman some documents.However, Roman wasn't one bit interested in what Jake had done. Maybe he was before his recent talk with Nicole but now he was burned out."You can tender evidence of his deals to the law enforcement. His assets should be frozen and put to good use." Roman ordered, and pushed back the documents in his hand toward the member.Immediately after, he continued to walk into the house. And immediately he entered, he heard his grandfather's voice, "She's not good for you, Roman." Bryce s

"W-what punishment?" Nicole asked, stuttering at first. Her tone was low and her eyes were hazy."You have been really defiant and deserve a punishment." Roman replied and Nicole arched her brows. With a smirk on Roman's face, he started to place soft kisses on her neck."What's my punishment?" Nicole asked, she was a bit scared of what she might get and also she anticipated whatever she had in mind.On the other hand, Roman stilled and inhaled her scent deeply. He could sense the mix of emotions in her voice and he began, "I get to own any part of your body whenever you disobey me." He declared.His words rang in Nicole's ears and she gasped in surprise."What do you mean?" She asked. She didn't think he would be able to take over her body that way. "You have been so defiant today. So, watch me." He said and then bent down to kiss her lips.At first, Nicole was frozen and she thought he was going to claim her lips but then he started trailing open-mouthed kisses down her neck.Soon
