Could they honestly claim they couldn’t hear her screams most nights? Or turn a blind eye to her black eyes, swollen face, and sadness in her eyes?
At this moment, she loathed everyone in the Crimson Pack and just wanted to be left alone.
Approaching the guest section, she relied on her instincts to lead her to the first special guest. It was an elegant blonde woman in a striking dress, resembling a guest at a fashion event or gala.
With a forced smile, Nicole took a seat beside her.
“Hello, how are you? Have you been enjoying the events?” she asked politely.
The lady sneered, crossed her long legs, and inspected her manicured nails.
“I see he’s still keeping you around,” she remarked, barely acknowledging Nicole. “Well, it’s been quite an interesting turn of events. Tell your alpha that my pack has taken note. We’re aware, but we won’t support it until we see how this unfolds.
He should remember that the Dark Moon’s Alpha is the most cunning being on Earth. To us, this isn’t a display of power but a dangerous risk. Anyway, if he manages to pull it off and kill Liam Hallows, then we’ll agree, and he can have all the power he desires.”
Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. She had thought this was a welcome party for the alpha of Dark Moon, who was also the most dangerous wolf. But she hadn’t realized they were also plotting his assassination.
“Sooner is better. My pack will only agree if he’s taken care of as soon as possible. It should be done while Liam is still unsuspecting and distracted by his victory. Once he leaves Crimson, he’ll become untouchable, and Shane will lose our support.”
Nicole swallowed hard, mustered her strength, and moved on to the next guest.
They echoed the same sentiments. Each of them wanted Alpha Liam dead before he left Crimson. It was like a death sentence.
She quickly relayed the information to Shane and discreetly made her way out of sight. She couldn’t explain why she felt like she was betraying Liam, even though he had been cruel to her and possibly worse than her mate.
As she made her way out of the Pack Hall, heading towards her room in the Packhouse, Liam intercepted her again.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Liam asked, his voice sending shivers down her spine as memories of their passionate night together flashed in her mind.
“What do you want?” she asked him.
He chuckled, revealing his perfect teeth. She inhaled sharply, recalling the sensation of his mouth on her nipples.
“The party is far from over, Nicole,” he told her, watching as pleasure thrummed through her at the mention of her name.
“Unless you’re going to pack up your things and follow me home, I don’t see why you should be leaving.”
Surprising herself, Nicole scoffed and folded her arms.
“Is that all you have to say? How original… Look, I’ve had enough tonight. You’re not even sure if you’ll leave here alive-“
Nicole’s eyes widened, and she quickly clamped her hands around her mouth, realizing her slip-up.
“What?” Liam growled, his dominance overpowering Shane’s. The sheer force of it sent her staggering back.
His hands shot out and caught her, and although she was terrified, his touch sent a wave of pleasure directly to her core.
“What. Did. You. Just. Say?”
Nicole’s body quivered. She bit her lip and fought the urge to reveal everything she had heard. He is not your Alpha, she reminded herself. Fury blazed in his eyes, intensifying her fear a thousandfold. Yet, she couldn’t betray her Alpha and mate.
After a moment, he smirked, his eyes shining as if he knew exactly what she had been talking about. Nicole blinked and gulped, feeling the heat from his hands on her waist as his fingers dug into her soft skin.
Suddenly, he pulled her into his hard chest, holding her waist delicately as he sniffed her neck.
“I’ll make you speak, Nicole. It’s only a matter of time. Soon, you’ll be singing for me, just like you did two nights ago. But that will be in my mansion.”
Nicole reminded herself to breathe as she shuddered in his arms. His tongue found a spot at the base of her neck, a sensation she had never known existed, and he licked it. Instantly, her legs turned jelly, and her body melted in his grasp. A soft moan escaped her lips as he licked it again.
Her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck.
He chuckled darkly.
“I’ll be back,” he said, detaching himself from her and moving away so swiftly that she began to wonder if what she had experienced was all in her head.
Liam ground his teeth in frustration as he waited for Shane to stumble into the dark corner where he lay in wait. The drug his pack member had slipped into his drink had already started to take effect. While Liam should have felt a sense of triumph that he was about to confront Shane, an unexplainable anger burned within him.
“We’ve obtained information about the anonymous allies of Crimson,” James said, emerging from the shadows.
Liam grunted and nodded, but his focus remained fixed on the intoxicated Shane, who had clumsily bumped into another table, causing a commotion.
“There’s something else you should know,” James spoke tentatively.
Liam raised an eyebrow, briefly diverting his attention to James. “I can sense the worry in your voice. What’s the problem?”
“They have unanimously decided to kill you here. Our findings suggest that leaving Crimson alive would be a grave mistake,” James explained.
Liam chuckled, a smirk playing on his lips. “Then I won’t sign the treaty tomorrow. But why are you concerned? Isn’t this why we came here in the first place? It provides the perfect excuse to bring Crimson to its knees. What’s even more intriguing is that we now possess information about our enemies and can easily hunt them down too.”
James audibly exhaled, his shoulders slumping. “I expected an outburst, Alpha.”
Liam smirked, his gaze still fixed on Shane. Suddenly, he understood the source of his rage. It infuriated him that he had to leave Nicole, especially after her mere presence and intoxicating scent had stirred him so deeply.
He desired her, urgently and unreservedly. He couldn’t wait to rid himself of this maddening obsession with her. With her mate and alpha fallen into his clutches, there was no way she wouldn’t return home with him.
Images of him thrusting into her on the wall, counter, his bedroom and everywhere flashed through his mind, making his cock twitch. He was going to fuck her brains out until he became tired of her and then he would be free from the curse.
I already knew about the impending assassination,” he casually remarked.
