KNIGHT Nirvana almost had the dagger when Chance woke up. In a blink of an eye, he had his fang on my mate’s neck, his hands locking her arms. With my heart in my throat, my wolf urged me to come out. I already felt my eyes glowing. The guys growled, ready to attack and rip Chance’s head off. “Relax!” Archibald became the middleman, stopping us from killing his brother. Tension quickly erupted in the tomb. I felt their anger everywhere, and my wolf turned feral, about to attack and kill, where his laser eyes focused on the one who had his mate. “I will fucking kill you and your brother if you won’t let my mate go. You bloodsuckers, maybe fast, but you can’t take us all down in five seconds.” My anger instantly boiled in my blood as I watched Chance’s teeth grazing against my mate’s skin. “He’s not gonna bite your mate,” Archibald grunted. “Chance, let her go before it gets bloody down here. She’s not your type, bastard,” Sebastien said impatiently. “We don’t have time for this.

NIRVANA “Oh, my God.” Air stuck in my lungs as I stared at the giant wolf in front of our vehicle. His eyes were pitch black, snarling at us, drooling in black blood. We had two problems. We couldn’t drive to the other line, or the wolf would throw us off the bridge. If we ran it over, it would damage the car, and if the wolf would not die, it would kill us all. Then, we had to walk if we could not find a passing vehicle. “What should we do now? We can’t run over a wolf or change lanes.” Exactly. “Stay in the car, Luka—” “Wait.” Knight was instantly alarmed. “What are you going to do? You can’t fight that wolf, or you get infected if you get bitten, or maybe the scratch is also infectious.” “I know. I’ll be careful.” “No, Knight.” I grabbed his arm. “I’ll run to the woods and let it follow me.” “Are you insane?” The way Kailin looked at me, she thought I was out of my mind. Maybe I was, but I could teleport. “How many werewolves are we in this car? We even have a Lycan royalt

NIRVANA “That dream I had, it was where I badly hurt. I don’t know, a gut feeling, I guess. I don’t wanna risk the people there.” “Don’t worry. We’re fifty miles away from Inverness. By then, Zarah will be done with the meeting with her coven.” Later in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the Inverness. We entered the pub, and most customers were local humans. I couldn’t feel other supernatural beings but us. “Where’s your friend, Alpha?” Knight asked. “He’ll be here, but Kain is always on time.” He looked at the time on his watch as we took a table while Luka, Dylan, and McKaye took another table. “I wanna drink Scotch.” “You don’t look twenty-one, Nirvana,” Knight whispered, amused. “Really? The last time I checked, Scots can start drinking at eighteen. Then you shouldn’t be sleeping with me.” I put my hand on his thigh, slowly tracing up just below his crotch. “Not funny.” We ordered drinks and the rest of the guys. Before our order arrived, Sebastien said, “Something

NIRVANA “Who has his number? This has to end today.” Knight was shaking in anger. “You can’t do this out of anger. Let that emotion calmer, and then we can make a plan to deal with this.” I knew what it was like to feel violated and disrespected. “This is our fault, Alpha Knight,” West finally said. “I will do whatever they want just to stop harassing us.” “You will not do such a thing. Travis is an arrogant son of a bitch, and if they think they can scare us because they have guns, they just make their biggest mistake. This can’t go on. It has to end today, and they shouldn’t have laid their hands on both of you.” “What are you going to do, Knight?” He looked at me. “What I should have done a long time ago when they started bullying the twins. I gave them a chance, and they came for us. Now, I have to eliminate one problem at a time.” “I went scouting outside the nightclub. I think they don’t do business transactions there anymore. I couldn’t follow up where they transferred

KNIGHT “Is everyone accounted for?” We got back to the curb, where we parked the vehicle. I was still pissed that I didn’t have the opportunity to sink my claws into Travis’s jugular, but if he did not learn from what we did tonight, I would kill him myself the next time he tried sending his message again. “Yes. We’re good.” McKaye was the last one to enter the SUV. “I should have killed that son of a bitch.” “Consider this as a win. If he will try again, you don’t have to ask permission from me.” I pulled out from the curb to the main road. “I tried hard not to kill him. He deserves to die, but we have a worse enemy than a thug like Travis.” “He peed in his pants, though.” I heard the pride in West’s voice. “Yeah. He will probably have nightmares for the rest of his life.” Dylan did a high-five with West. “If only you’ve seen the living room.” Maddox shook his head in amusement. “His men were running everywhere. I say they deserved what they got. They are all sick sons of bit
