“Nico, I’m coming!” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I tipped over the edge, and he took over, wrapping both his arms around my waist and pounding his cock inside me. I was screaming his name to the heavens. In one swift move he had me pinned on my back and he was on top, back in control.
“That was fucking hot, baby but now it’s my turn, and I’m out of patience.” My only response was to moan; I was spent. That last orgasm took it out of me. True to his word, Nico fucked me hard and fast and ripped another orgasm from me. Once he reached his peak, he collapsed to the side of me and pulled me into his arms. I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer…I was bone tired after so many orgasms.
I must have drifted off, because next thing I knew, I woke to Nico’s face between my legs, eating my pussy. He made me come all over his face and then fucked me senseless. He woke me two more times after that, taking me from the back the first time, and then the last time was very different.
I woke to him scattering kisses all over my tired, naked body. He had positioned himself between my legs and then kissed me. This kiss felt different—there was so much emotion behind it that it stole my breath. He wasn’t fucking me this time, he was…he was making love to me. Nico and I had never done the whole slow, make love thing…we liked to go hard, deep and fast. He broke the kiss and pulled back so he could look me in the eyes as he was slowly working his way in and out of my body.
“You are everything to me, my love. You are the sun on my darkest days and the light on my darkest nights. You, my love, are my queen.” I couldn’t hold my tears back. They started rolling down my face, but he didn’t say anything or stop moving inside me, instead just leaning down and licking and kissing away my tears, murmuring how much he loved my body and how beautiful I was.
His thrusts started to pick up speed, and I wrapped my legs around his hips and pulled down, pressing him deeper inside me.
“What do you need love?”
“I need you deeper and harder, Nico, please.” He gave me more of his weight as he picked up speed and began punishing me with his hard thrusts. It was so right.
“Don’t stop, please!” And he didn’t stop, until we were both screaming our release. I felt so sated and relaxed. As soon as Nico pulled out of me, I felt his essence leaking down my thighs, and he watched as his cum slid out of me with a satisfied smile on his face. Once more he lay down beside me and gathered me in his arms. I was drifting off to sleep when I heard him whisper.
“Please forgive me when you learn what I have done. I cannot lose you, baby. You are my hugacko.” I tipped into the darkness before I could respond, and slept soundly for the first time in weeks.
Chapter 16
Nico
As soon as she drifted off to sleep, I chanted the spell to bring us back to her bedroom in Jackson’s compound. The sun was already rising, and I knew sleep would evade me. I had never felt like this for anyone in my many years of being alive. I laid there, just looking at her sleep in my arms. Her tiny body was nestled in the same position as it was before I took her to our dream land, and I ran my hand up and down her side, just needing to feel her. As soon as she learned the truth about what I had done she would hate me. I am the reason she is here. I don’t have the balls to tell her the truth, but I know I need to find a way before Kai tells her. I lay there watching her sleep for so long that I must have drifted off too, jerked awake some time later by a constant knocking on her door. Before I could untangle myself, the door smashed open and slammed against the wall. Ryan sat straight up, ready to scream, until she saw it was Kai, Dom, and Jax in the doorway, I didn’t bother to move off the bed; I just sat up and wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my chin on her shoulder, glaring at the three bastards who disturbed us.
“I have a key, dumb ass, there was no need to break my fucking door.” Jax was clearly pissed that Kai was busting up the place.
“You weren’t fast enough,” Kai snapped at him.
“Both of you shut up. Clearly she’s fine, judging by the way she won’t make eye contact with us and is blushing so hard you would think she was sunburnt. I think she had a great night’s rest, aye love?” I couldn’t hide my smile.
Instead of answering Dom, I placed a kiss on Ryan’s cheek, which caused her to blush even more. I loved watching her blush.
“How about we give you guys twenty minutes and then you meet us in the mess hall? We need to finalize these wedding plans.” With that reality check from Dom, I unwrapped my arms from around Ryan and stood. I stopped moving and turned toward Dom when he whistled. I realized then that I was only in my boxers. Ryan turned her head and looked at me, her mouth was hanging open so I leaned over and used a finger to close it for her.
“You’re drooling, baby,” I said with a wink. She shook her head and snapped herself out of it.
“You slept in here with me, like that?” I laughed, after everything that happened last night in our dream, she was worried that I slept next to her in boxers.
“Baby, if I recall, I spent more time naked and inside you than I did in these.” She blushed a dark shade of red and dropped her eyes. My little sex devil was shy in the light of day.
“You fucked her?” I snapped my gaze to Melakai, who was shaking with anger. Dom and Jax were holding him back. Ryan flinched at Kai’s outburst, which made me furious. She had nothing to feel guilty about.
“Kai, I…” I cut Ryan’s reply off, we didn’t need to explain ourselves to him. We were about to be married!
“That is none of your fucking business. She is about to be my wife, and what we do and don’t do in the confines of our bedchamber is not your concern. Oh, and from now on, you will stay the fuck out of her dreams.” I heard Ryan gasp, and she turned her angry glare my way.
“You do not get to tell me what to do, Nico!”
“Actually, love, yeah, I do. You promised me!” She was seething now, I could see the fire in her eyes, and damn that look alone was starting to wake my cock.
“You can’t fucking hold that against me! Of course I would say whatever the hell you wanted when you wouldn’t let me FUCKING COME!” As soon as the words flew out of her mouth, she slapped a hand over her lips and quickly looked back to where the three guys were standing in the doorway, looking varying degrees of shocked and furious. Ryan quickly dropped her head and stared at her lap; even I was shocked at her outburst. I never expected that to come out of her mouth, no pun intended.
“So, yeah, we’re just like gonna go to the hall mess. I mean mess hall. And wait for you guys to come. I mean get there.” I wanted to laugh at Dom, I had never seen him so out of sorts. All three men quickly left, even Melakai didn’t make a fuss as he was ushered out of the room by Dom. Jax closed what was left of the door, and I made a mental note to make sure he got that fixed by this evening.
“Please don’t say a word, Nico, just go and I will meet you at the mess hall.” She flopped back on the bed and pulled the covers over her face. I couldn’t leave her like this. She was so adorable when she was shy and embarrassed. I jumped back on the bed and ripped the covers away from her. Before she could protest, I hopped on top of her and wrestled my way between her legs. She tried to fight me, but she knew she would lose. With a groan, she opened them for me and I settled there. I leaned down so I could kiss her cheek, then her neck, and eventually found my way to her mouth. I thought she might turn away or try pushing me off, but she didn’t, opening for me as soon as I prodded her mouth with my tongue. She tasted so sweet; I wanted to stay here and do this all day and hopefully bury my dick inside of her while we were both awake. But I knew if we both didn’t get our asses up and to the mess hall, the whole gang would come to us. I pulled back and smiled down at her, and to my surprise, she didn’t blush. I saw the desire burning in her eyes. With a groan, I quickly jumped off the bed and told her I would be back after a quick shower to get her, and she should get ready before the others came back.

After a quick sh
ower and shave, I made my way back to Ryan’s room to collect her. Just as I rounded the last bend, I saw two guys at her door already pulling the old door off and had a new one leaning against the wall. As soon as she saw me, she made her way out of her room and stood in front of me, chewing her bottom lip. I reached out and tugged her lip so she would stop chewing it; at the rate she was going she would chew the damn thing off.
“Sorry, nervous gesture, I always seem to do that or pace.”
“Nothing to be nervous about, love, and by the way, you look beautiful.” She blushed at my compliment; she was wearing skin-tight black jeans and a snug white V-neck shirt. That reminded me— she was wearing Aurora’s clothes. I would organize Larick to go back and retrieve her and her cousins’ belongings. I also needed to give her the letter from her father that she didn’t know I had.
“Thank you.” She grasped my hand and began to pull me along, and when I finally snapped out of my shock, I took control and took the lead. She laughed, knowing that I was always the one that had to be in control. I may have let her have her moment last night, but not today. We made it to the mess hall in record time, and both of us had smiles on our faces as we entered. As we walked past the buffet, I saw her tense and drop her head. I strained my hearing and then I heard the whispers.
“Isn’t she the Alpha’s mate?”
“I thought she was fucking the Day-walker.”
“Eww look at her, next thing you know she will be fucking the half-breed.” I turned to put an end to this gossip when she stopped me with a hand on my arm.
“Don’t, Nico. Let them think what they want. You jumping to my defense only makes it worse.” At her request I let it go, but as we made our way through the tables to head toward the guys, the whispers intensified. There was one woman bold enough to even shout out her insult, which had Ryan freezing in her tracks and me glaring over her head at the woman.
“You’re the Alpha’s mate, but you fuck a leech and the king of the fae. You are trash! I don’t know what they see in you.” I waited for Ryan to drop her head or cry or something, but she shocked me when she replied to the bitch.
“They see a woman who can handle three alpha males all at once. Jealousy will get you nowhere, sweetheart.” I turned to see the guys at our table with their mouths hanging open in shock; even my sister and Aurora looked taken back by Ryan’s reply.
“You’re a vile, disgusting bitch.”
“And you’re a jealous whore, but you don’t see me standing here complaining about it, do you? Just so were clear, sweetheart, who I fuck is none of your concern.” With that said, she made her way over to our table with her head held high. I felt like a dog following its master. I was so turned on by the way she finally stood up for herself. When we made it to our table, everyone was still staring at her.
“Close your mouth, Dom, you’ll catch flies.” Dom quickly shut his mouth then opened it. I wasn’t sure which was worse.
“You are amazing! Marry me, not that good-for-nothing king.” I was so close to punching Dom in the face and I hadn’t even had breakfast.
“I guess I could add you to my apparent harem.” Aurora and Sophia burst into laughter. I, on the other hand, was pissed. No way in hell would any of these guys be going near her. It was bad enough that fucking Kai has already been with her. She took a seat between Aurora and Chase and began to eat her breakfast. I was still standing, glaring at her. When she looked up and our eyes connected, she frowned.
“What’s your problem big guy? Your mood swings are giving me whiplash.” I could hear Jax and Dom snickering and that fucked me off more.
“He’s just pissy because you said you wanted to add me to your harem.” Fucking Dominic!
She just rolled her eyes and joined in on the conversation her cousins were having about our upcoming marriage. I begrudgingly took the last seat available, which just happened to be next to Kai, lucky me. He shot me a glare when I sat down, and his behavior didn’t go unnoticed by Ryan.
“Why do you both look like you're about two seconds away from throwing hands?” Neither of us responded to her questions as Aurora began to shake next to her. The only time Aurora really touches anyone is when she is viewing their past; other than that, she avoids contact as much as possible.
A hush falls over the mess hall as everyone waits and watches Aurora. She is revered for her visions. She has saved this pack more times than any wolf shifter. Her visions allow Jackson to see any threat before it happens. After a couple of minutes, Aurora slumps forward and catches herself on the table. She’s panting hard and fast. Jax quickly jumps from his seat and makes his way over to her, handing her a glass of water.
“It’s okay, you're okay. Deep breaths, babe.” Even now Jackson doesn’t touch her, he just reassures her with his words. “Take your time.” After another few moments, Aurora’s gaze turns to me and I gulp—this can’t be good.
“You have the letter?” How the fuck…of course she knows I took the letter Ryan’s dad wrote her. Reluctantly, I nod.
“What letter?” Fucking Dom. I swear I am going to stitch his mouth shut. I wait for Aurora to answer, knowing Ryan is going to go off.
“The letter Ryan’s father wrote her; she needs to read it.” Before Ryan or anyone can answer or yell at me for having the letter, I ask,
“Why?”
“Because it will help Ryan understand what happened to her sister.”
“What do you mean?” Ryan’s concern is evident in her voice.
“Read the letter now, you have until sundown to figure it out.”
“What happens at sundown, Rora?” Chase asks the question that is on everyone’s mind.
“Stevie Knox will arrive here at sundown, at the northern border, to see her sister.” You can hear Ryan’s sharp intake of breath and both her cousins gasp.
“She will not breach our borders! I will—” Aurora cuts Jax off before he can finish.
“You will let her through! She will not harm Ryan. Nico, you need to be ready. She is coming to speak to her sister, but she is coming for your blood!” Fuck me. What is it with these Knox women and wanting to kill me?
Chapter 17
Ryan
Stevie’s coming, Nico hid something from me again, and Stevie wants to kill Nico. I keep running those words through my head on a loop. What did Nico do? Why would Stevie be coming here? Has she had a change of heart? Oh my God, Kai will have to face her. I didn’t even think of Kai. As soon as Aurora finished telling us her vision, I left the mess hall and returned to my room, needing some time to sort my head out and prepare for my sister’s arrival. Now I had to read the letter from my dad that Nico somehow has. Why does he keep breaking my fucking trust? Speak of the devil. The man himself has just walked through my bedroom door, without knocking.
“When a door is shut it means you need to knock!”
“I didn’t knock last night, and it seemed to work out well for the both of us.” The fucking cheek of this arrogant asshole!
“I was asleep, Nico!”
“Still, you can’t tell me you didn’t enjoy that dream.” He was teasing me, and I was about ready to skin him alive.
“What do you want?” At my question, the carefree look on his face dropped, and he reached into the back pocket of his jeans and pulled out the letter from my dad. I didn’t move, I just stood there staring at him. After a beat, he sighed and closed the distance between us. He lifted my limp arm and placed the letter in my hand. I wasn’t ready to read this, but now I was out of time and had no choice. After a moment, I closed my fingers around the letter and pulled my arm from his grasp. He turned to leave but stopped when there was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” he said.
“This isn’t your fucking room—” I stopped talking as soon as I saw Larkin enter, carrying my suitcase and duffel bag that I left behind at the cabin we were staying in when we first got to Alaska. “How did you get those?” Larkin didn’t answer, he simply deposited my bags by the foot of
the bed and left the room, closing the door behind him.
“I sent Larkin to retrieve them this morning; I thought you might like your belongings back. I also got him and Maverick to retrieve your cousins’ belongings. You should also know that the cabin is empty. Your sister isn’t staying there.” Where the hell was Stevie staying, then? Nico turned to leave, but I stopped him.
“Thank you for getting our stuff, but I need to know two things, Nico.” He stiffened but wouldn’t turn to face me. After a long sigh, he responded.
“Ask away, little one.”
“How did you get the letter my dad wrote?”
“I snuck into your room one night at the cabin and took it, in case it held information that your sister could use against us.” That was…that was actually smart.
“Did you read it?”
“No, now ask what you really want to know, love.”
“Why is my sister coming after you?”
“She thinks I killed your father.” See, I thought that at the start, when Aurora told us, but now I think it’s something else.
“I don’t believe you.”
He didn’t answer, just shook his head and left the room. After hearing the door click shut, I quickly made my way over to the door and locked it. I know it was dumb to think a lock would stop him from getting in, but it made me feel more secure. With a few deep breaths, I walked over to the single chair by the window and sat down. It was time to woman up and read this damn letter. I sent up a silent prayer to my dad, asking him to help me make sense of this whole shit show that has become my life. With another deep breath, I ripped the envelope open and pulled out the letter that was actually two pages. Seeing my dad’s handwriting brought tears to my eyes. I knew reading this letter was going to hurt and open up old wounds of never having my father in my life. After a few more deep breaths, I began to read the letter.
