The Lycan Kingpin's Captive: A Baby For The Beast

My eyes shoot open and fear creeps into my heart when I feel the bed dip behind me. Memories of when Mikhail would silently come into my room suddenly flashed in my mind and I can feel my entire body trembling.

Where am I? Who is in my room?

“Kardia mou…” comes the strained, familiar voice and it takes me a few seconds to register the spicy autumn scent.

I rush to flick on the light on the nightstand, only to come face to face with a bloody Nikolaos laying next to me; he sees me and a wistful smile crosses his lips before his eyes flutter closed.

“Niko!” I exclaim and I reach out to touch him with a trembling hand, but he doesn’t respond. There’s blood splatter on his face, his shirt is torn and singed from where it looks like he’s been stabbed and burned.

There’s the distinct scent of death on him as well as napalm?

I lift up his shirt but find no open wounds, just healed patches of skin from what seems to be bullet holes. Was he shot at with silver bullets?!

“It’s…okay…” he struggles to breathe and places a hand over mine. “Silver has been removed and…wolfsbane burned out. I just need…sleep.”

After checking his body for wounds, I decided against my better judgment to let him sleep. With a heart thudding with anxiety, I then slip on my nightgown and walk out of the bedroom to find Bastien or at least Maxim to find out what the heck is going on.

“...head home with Panzer and Armata to make sure the pack house is safe before they get back,” Maxim’s voice floats up the stairs and a smile slips over my lips.

I never thought I would miss that rough lilt, but then again, I haven’t seen him since before we left for my father’s territory. I cross my arms over my chest and pad downstairs to where I hear the voices and it happens to be in the living room.
