The Lycan Kingpin's Captive: A Baby For The Beast
Chapter 15 - Nikolaos
Perhaps I was too harsh on Josef; I should probably speak with him again tomorrow. He’s not used to this life and it was placed on me to take him under my wing and toughen him up.
He’ll never be tough if I constantly berate him; I have to teach him our ways and guide him. As I have said before, there’s no room for a soft heart in this pack or in the life of a mafioso. If I don’t teach him the right way now, he’ll be dead before he turns twenty-four years old.
Maxim is sitting in front of me, cradling a glass of whiskey. “Will you be joining your brother’s auction this year? There are talks of Dragon eggs being on the list,” he says.
“Dragon eggs?” I chuckle and shake my head. “Dragons have been extinct for a long time. If he has Dragon eggs, then they’re either fake or petrified.”
“Still, can you imagine owning a fucking Dragon? You’d be the most powerful Alpha, not only in the country but the fucking world!” He says, indulging his fantasies again.
“Hmm, fear is always a good way to force submission. But with that comes a whole lot of enemies,” I remind him. “Do you think I want to go out as Caesar did with knives stuck in my back? No, thanks; give me my city.”
He laughs. “Then give me the Dragon and I’ll rule the rest of the world under SilverCrest’s banner!” he says as he clinks his glass against mine.
But even as I laugh, my thoughts go to her laying in that bath; supple and good enough to fucking eat. If I were any other man, I would have no problem devouring her sweetness…but I am no ordinary man.
Beneath my exterior lay a little confused boy, wondering what the fuck he did wrong to deserve what happened to him for five years. I’m still filled with the same hurt and anger as before, but instead of acting out I now use it well.
I won’t ever be that helpless again; no one will wield that kind of power over me and force my submission. Death awaits the ones who try; my hands are already stained with innocent blood, and I am not scared to get my soul tainted, too.
“Say, Niko-”
A bloodcurdling scream rips through the air, causing Maxim and me to jump to our feet. We look at each other, and the familiar sound of the voice makes my heart constrict with an unknown emotion.
“That’s Mia!” I call out and run out of my office, sprinting as I take large strides to her bedroom.
She shouldn’t be screaming as if she’s running for her life, she should be sound asleep by now, so what the fuck is going on?!
I can smell the scent of a fucking Rogue and lots of blood, and when I take the corner to her bedroom, I see the source - Josef is bleeding out on the floor. /“Maxim, get Lilah!”/ I call over the mind link just as I burst into the room.
My heart plummets at the sight in front of me; some cunt has Mia pinned to the floor and is trying to choke the life out of her. I allow my beast to take over and rush towards the fucker who dared to touch what’s mine.
