Unknown POV
“You had one simple task, Nicholas, and you couldn’t accomplish it. I thought you had some type of power to make women fall at your f**king feet,” she says. “I do mistress. I have the power of compulsion, but Olivia isn’t an ordinary woman and we both know it. I did everything I could to make her fall into my arms, but she was still hung up on that human. Hell, I thought we were golden when she stayed away from that f**king pack for five years. If she hadn’t found him she wouldn’t have been a problem.”
“I still don’t understand why you insisted she not be taken or killed.” Anger whirls in her eyes as she stares down at the picture in her hand. She has been more volatile the closer we get to the delivery of the midnight wolf. She slams the picture down on to the table before she stalks towards me. Her palm connecting with my cheek has me taking a step back before I do something I’ll regret. “There is no one without the other.”
“If something happens to Olivia, the midnight wolf will not be born. Xavier’s pup will be nothing but an Alpha wolf. I am in charge here, Nicholas, and you do as I say without question. I am the only reason that you and your band of rogue vampires have survived this long. If it was up to your sire you’d all be dead by now. You owe me your lives,” she says, anger swirling in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Mistress, you’re right. I simply wanted to please you. What would you have us do now that she is living in the pack? She is practically untouchable.” “Her mate is her weakness. I want you to go to the pack. Demand to speak with her. Despite the fact that he is a human, he will follow her. It’s pathetic how fragile they are but they still think they can defend their mates. Find a way to bring him here. She will do whatever she has to in order to protect him,” she says, turning toward the door.
“Yes, mistress.” “Oh and Nicholas, don’t fail me this time or a slap will be the least of your worries,” she says, stepping out of the room and closing the door behind her. A shiver runs down my spine at the coldness of her words. After a few seconds, I head out of the large house that sits in the center of the coven. I make my way through the streets and gather three of the vampires that are the fastest.
I won’t underestimate the wolves, especially Olivia. I know how protective mates are of each other. I almost feel sorry for her being saddled with a pathetic human. Not sorry enough that I won’t follow my mistress’s orders. We run for a good thirty minutes at full speed before we arrive at the pack. I know enough not to draw too much attention. I don’t need them calling every f**king warrior to defend the pack if they think we are
here to attack.
When the first wolf approaches, he growls deep before shifting back into his human form. “What is your business here, vampire,” he asks, clearly irritated by our presence. “I demand to speak with Olivia Crocker.” Two more wolves approach as the man’s eyes glaze over. When he looks back at me, I wonder how many more of these mutts will show up. “Our Alpha is oh his way” he says. “I don’t want to see you’re f**king Alpha.
I’m here for Olivia.”
All three growl and I take a step back. It doesn’t take long for a big black wolf to break through the trees. I know immediately he is the pack’s Alpha. He shifts pulling on a pair of shorts. “Who the hell are you and why are you asking to speak to my sister?” “That really isn’t any of your business Alpha. I think I’ll just wait for her to arrive since she is the one I’ve come to see.” His eyes turn nearly black as he takes a step toward me. “I wouldn’t even think about it if I were you.”

“I haven’t stepped a toe into your territory and four vampires are no match for your pack. You have no right to put your hands on me. I’m no threat to you.” He crosses his arms and glares at me until I notice Olivia and f**king Ace stalk in our direction. As soon as they notice me, I smile at the shock on their faces. Olivia’s eyes meet mine and I take a step forward but ensure I don’t cross the line. “Hello Olivia, long time no see.” “Nicholas, why the hell are you here? How are you a vampire?”
“Well, that’s a rather long and boring story that involves a woman, but it’s of no importance right now. The reason I’m here is for you. Had I known you were a wolf I could have let you see the real me. I still think we could be good together, Olivia.” I smirk when Ace looks like he is ready to rip my head off. “Are you out of your f**king mind? I have a mate and even if I didn’t, you are a creeper and not because you’re a vampire,” she says. Anger rushes through me and I tighten my fists at my side.
How dare she speak to me that way? She should be grateful that I even looked in her direction. “Now why the hell are you here,” she asks again. “I have my orders.” As soon as the last word leaves my mouth, the three vampires with me flank my sides as I use my speed to reach Ace. One punch to his jaw, and he’s out for the
Olivia POV
“I’m alright Olivia. You know I’m not weak, but the punch stunned me. Ryker and I are fine” he says. “Then kill the pr*ck and come back to me.” “Not yet. Ryker thinks that we should let him take us wherever he planned to. There is a reason he took me Olivia, and he could have something to do with Della. I promise you I’m safe,” he
