Nikolas Pov
I think my wolf chose you, I finally told her. Alec always gets so excited whenever She is close, he doesn't sulk or snarl at any little thing I do, at first, I thought this bond with the human was because of the child she's carrying, my child, but no, it's all her. The first time I felt Alec happy was at the airport in Colombia when the human was running away from those men, my wolf's joy for the unfamiliar girl was strange, I hadn't spoken in more than a year and the first word he uttered was wow, strange human. I froze when I heard his voice in my head, thinking it was a dream.
He and I drifted apart when Loren died, I refused to believe it and shut down, leaving him to bear the pain alone. I was a coward but Loren was my soulmate, my family.
But then this frail woman, a human, so pure and untainted soul, swayed herself into my life, without any warning, she came close to me, slowly started to create a place in life and heart, I ignored her, I hated that my wolf would only surface when she's close, I feel his content with her around. When Alec saw the scar above her hip, he saw red. I could feel him almost taking over. He has never behaved like this before, yes he does lose his temper a lot but this was a girl we have not met, I guess he just took a liking to her, which seldom happens.
"Morning ... You," Aviana comes into the dining room. She takes a seat at her usual place, and starts to eat quietly, so unlike her, is she shy? I thought she would be ecstatic that my wolf chose her, she has made her feelings for me quite too vocal.
" How was your night," I ask breaking the silence in the room.
My phone rings and I groan, does she ever learn? I told Sara to leave me alone, I end the call but she keeps calling.
"Why are you not taking your calls?" Asks Ava quietly as she eats more of her veggies.
" It's Sarafina," The little human glares at me, fury written on her face. I know she hates her and I do too, but she is a witch, good at her craft and I need her for now.
" I already punished her for what she did to you," she rolls her eyes not believing, but I did, severely.
" Then why is she calling you still or I forgot, you made up," I don't know when I might need her gifted hands again.
" Well.. maybe am just that good," I say quizzically.
She scoffs.
"You are grumpy, antisocial, and not friendly at all. I'm even surprised Justin is your friend, you guys are total opposites," she exclaims.
" I just keep my circle small, and there are a lot of things am good at other than making friends," I wink and I see her cheeks change color as her hand flies to touch them. My wolf almost purrs like a pup, yuck, what is wrong with him? He is a love-sick puppy, and he doesn't even bother denying it.
' why should I? She looks beautiful ' Aviana is a very attractive woman, everything on her body suits her even the pregnancy, her long curly hair which I very much would like to touch compliments her big beautiful jade eyes, her full lips, her hips, and long legs, everything looks perfect on her
' she's not ours, ' I say and Alec growls menacingly at me but I ignore him. She can never be ours, I can't be with her, she's too innocent and pure. She deserves a man like her, who will love her the way she needs to be loved, Ava is too fragile. We can hurt her and I don't want to be the one to do that.
" Wh...at .. do ...you mean?" She asks stuttering but I shrug.
I smile looking at her red face.
" You know," I look at my pants, and she gasps loudly.
" What?"
....
I sigh leaving the building, not paying attention to the woman whose chest is puffed, batting her long lashes are me and smiling my way, I need a new secretary.
My wolf sneers at the sight of Jenn, She is always trying something or wearing clothes that are extremely tiny on her body, and showing too much.
I swerve my chair to look at the glass window, I have the perfect view of the silver blue moon pack, its tall scrappers, beautiful streets, and happy people, my home. I thrive here and serenity surrounds me. A pack I will raise my child in, a safe home for my little one, I already know what I'll name her, after my mother and Aviana's, she'll be happy.
I get my phone to call Don, he is an investigator. He is very good at his job, he can locate anyone. He picks up at the first ring,
" Come to my office in ten minutes," I continue to check to work as the paperwork today doesn't seem to end.
I hear a knock, and Don comes in, looking very professional in a suit.
" Boss, you called," I signal for him to sit down and he does, before I can utter another word the door to my office bursts open, of course, it's only Jeremy who can freely walk in like he owns the place, he throws the bag on the sofa before lying in it, I wonder what mischiefs he was causing this time.
The howler moon pack warriors complained about him recently for entering their land without permission.
" Where were you?" I ask my grumpy-looking brother.
" Can I get some food?"
" I asked you a question,"
" Can I at least have a strong drink," He eludes my question, where was he? Jer gets up, getting a bottle of wine on the small coffee table but with a glare from me, he puts it back and raises his hands in surrender. He knows I don't like him to drink.
" Hi, Don," he finally greets the investigator.
" Hello, heard you're causing trouble lately," Don says with a scowl on his face.
" I said hi, I didn't ask for the story of my life," Jeremy grumbles.
He has been such a pain lately, his wolf doesn't surface, and he says he can slowly feel it fade away. I turn to Don in front of me.
" Don, report?"
He nods
" Yes sir, Tai abducted about thirty girls from different cities in Spain, they were auctioning them at his brothel,"
" What happened,"
" We informed the CIA who shut it down and as a present, to you, I burned his clubs in Spain, and all those which are affiliated to him," I nod impressed.
" And Tai?"
" He was at the auction, we almost had him but he managed to slip out of our hands, sir,"
Every time I think we are close, he manages to escape.
" I want to know about Marion Rayes," Don raises his eyebrows, looking at me with a skeptical expression on his face.
" The notorious drug Lord? there is little information about him, but he was born and raised in Tijuana, by a single mother, his father ran away when he was only two years old, his mother sold in markets to raise him and he had run with the law because of his business but somehow managed to come out clear, now he's running for governor next year,"
" Where do you get all this information?" Asks Jeremy amazed.
" That's just basic information Jeremy, there is more to uncover, and I will if the boss wants me to
" Yes, everything, as soon as possible,"
I want Ava safe, the only to do that is to find that mother fucker and rip him to shreds, for the suffering he made my human go through.
"But why?"
I quell a growl, it's unlike Don to question me. I clear my throat to answer but before I can Jeremy is quick to.
" The fucker badly hurt his woman, so he wants retribution," His woman, why do my siblings say that? She is not but I do want vengeance and I intend to get it because no matter what, I will keep Aviana safe.
" She isn't my woman," I growl to both Jeremy and Alec. My brother chuckles
" Whatever you say, bro, no need to be defensive about it,"
" Am not being defensive!" I hit my desk, but my stupid little brother furrows an eyebrow, pointing to the desk. I unclench my fist, calming myself.
" I wasn't being defensive," I calmly murmur.
The door closes, and I realize Don has gone. I look at my brother who has a smirk on his face, I wish I can punch it off him right now.
" But Alec chose her," He says sure of himself. I growl again in frustration. I sigh giving up and finally, Jeremy is satisfied. I go back to my work, while he goes to lie on the sofa, facing the ceiling when I remember something.
" Jeremy, you can not be freely crossing borderlands, sneaking in people's territories," I tell him. " You're an alpha and other leaders get agitated when another goes to their land plus your special gifts, they think...."
" I found her," he cuts me quietly and turns so he's giving me his back.
"Who? I didn't know you were looking for someone,"
" I didn't have to look for her, Nik," I get to my feet and walk closer to him.
" Who have you found, little brother?"
"My mate,"
