“How can someone so small be so heavy?" Nikolai complained as he hoisted me on his back and walked out of the plane. I'd woken up some time ago and since I still felt sleepy, Amelia was worried I would fall over and die-even thought that was physically impossible- so she asked Nikolai to carry me.“What's that quote, don't judge a book by its cover? Carry your elephant, hubby,” I told him, patting his back. Nikolai grunted and kept on walking out with me. I closed my eyes as I tried to fall back into my sleep but I was woken by a sharp scream."Nikky!” A female voice squealed. I opened my eyes to see a petite girl beelining towards Nikolai and I. I jumped off his back just in time as she barrelled into him. There was a man beside her that looked like he had a good ten years over Nikolai."Audrey, I've only been gone for about three days," Nikolai grunted as he tried to push the girl away from him. The girl separated from him and pouted.“Well excuse me for missing my favorite person,"
I was currently in the kitchen trying to see if I could make something to eat. Back at the pack, I didn't have the luxury to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it but seeing as I'm with Nikolai now, I plan to make use of every opportunity I'm presented with.“What are you doing?" Someone said from behind me. I grabbed the knife next to me and turned around to see who it was. It was a man with discoloured eyes and tattoos over his whole chest. He was shirtless and I narrowed my eyes so as to blur out his naked body part."Who are you?” I asked the man dropping the knife next to me but still letting my hand linger on it. He leaned against the kitchen counter and picked up an apple, sinking his teeth deep inside it."You're not scared, are you?” He asked, raising a brow.“Not at all. I doubt this place would be easy to infiltrate so you must be one of his own,” I explained. The man nodded then without warning threw his half eaten apple at me. I dodged just in time and glared at him.
“Okay, now calm down, Nikolai," I said, shifting. Nikolai's smirk only widened as he pushed the plate away.“Now why should I do that?" He asked. I tapped on the table as I tried to figure out a way to divert his attention. “Seeing as it's my first time in New York don't you think you should show me around? I mean, it's been hours since we arrived," I told him, standing up. Nikolai raised a brow.“At this time?" He asked. I scoffed and out my hands on my hips.“If you can come back at this time then I'm sure you can also take me out, Nikolai," I told him. Nikolai smiled and stood up.“Sure, princess," he said. And just when I thought he'd let me go, he added, “But don't think I've forgotten the original plan, Sarah." Then he walked out.My cheeks flushed red and my jaw slacked. Nikolai was already far ahead of me so I quickly gathered myself and followed him out. I took my coat too since it was cold at this time.I walked behind Nikolai to his car and I felt as if someone was watchin
“You need more training." Audrey hissed out. "Look, Sarah, I like you but the thing is if you can't take care of yourself, you wouldn't survive in our world. You'd be wiped off the face of the earth within moments,” she explained as her expression grew softer."I don't even know what your world is about,” I answered her. I can't lie. I felt bad about not being able to help Nikolai better but there was nothing I could do since even I was unprepared."It's not my position to tell you. When Nikolai gets out you can ask him. But if you ever need help, you know where to find me," she said, patting my shoulder. She gave me a warm smile and instantly I felt better. Audrey turned away and left, leaving me with Charlie and Enzo.“I'll go see what the doctor is doing," Charlie said, turning around. I sighed and went to sit down."Don't blame yourself. It was bound to happen,” Enzo said, sitting beside me. I frowned at him.“Blame myself? Why would I? It's all Nikolai's fault for not telling me a
Nikolai said I'd be on car scrub duty for two days. Like seriously? I was annoyed at him for that but it didn't stop him from sending me off with Amelia and Audrey to look for a wedding dress.“You should try this, it'd look great on you," Amelia said, holding a dress up to my body. It was a white body hugging dress with intricate patterns. I scrunched up my nose and shook my head.“White is too basic. I'm the main character, I'll wear something different," I said, eyeing the racks. I pulled my phone from my bag as I dialled Enzo's number. I shifted to a secluded place to make the call.“What's up, babe?" He drawled.“Do you have any idea on what color of suit Nikolai will be wearing?" I asked him. Nikolai didn't bother going suit shopping, his excuse being he had enough suits already."I'm actually buying one for him right now. Haven't decided on a color though. Why?” Enzo asked. My brow shot up and I cleared my throat. I looked around so I could make sure nobody was listening to the
"With that said, I'll leave you to finish up. After all, it's your day.” Enzo stated then left the room. Almost immediately, Amelia came into the room a panicked expression on her face.“What are you still doing sitting there? Nikolai is already waiting at the altar. Let's go!" She said, pulling me. I resisted as a pleading look settled on my phone."Twenty minutes. I need to change. I can't wear this,” I begged. Amelia rolled her eyes."You chose this, didn't you? Deal with it, Sarah. Now let's go," she said, dragging me. I shook my head as I tried to protest but Amelia wasn't taking any of my shit. We arrived in front of the double doors that'd lead us to the altar. Audrey was already waiting for us there.Audrey smiled at me as she came to stand behind Amelia. The double doors opened immediately the music for the bridal train came on. I stepped out and Charlie was already waiting for me. He took my hand in his and walked me to the altar. He had agreed to fill in as my father.“Than
I sunk back into the chair, desperately hoping the leather would open up and swallow me whole. I'd said with my own mouth that I would let him touch me after we were officially married and now I wish I could take back my words. From my peripheral vision, I saw Nikolai looking at his phone and typing as if he hadn't just said the dirtiest things a man could utter.It wasn't as if I hadn't had sex before. Even I don't know why I'm so scared of sex with Nikolai. I ran my hand through my name ruffled hair as I tried to think of ways to escape. Very soon, we arrived at the mansion and I started shivering. I ran ahead of Nikolai to the room and upon getting in, I ran to the bathroom.Minutes later, I heard the room door opening and footsteps falling. The footsteps stopped directly in front of the bathroom door and my heart beat increased. After that, I didn't hear anything again so I slowly calmed down. I undressed slowly then entered the bathtub to have my bath.I turned the shower on as I
“What happened to you?" Audrey asked. I narrowed my eyes at her question in an attempt to act confused.“What happened to me? What do you mean?” I asked her. Audrey eyed me, her eyes lingering on my legs."You're limping. Did you hurt yourself?”she asked, worry lacing her tone. I glanced down at my leg as if I was just noticing my limp. I subtly looked at Nikolai to find the motherfucker hiding his smirk as he sipped his coffee."Yeah. I forgot about that. It was in the middle of the night and I couldn't see so I hit my leg on the bed. No need to worry," I explained. Audrey nodded, still looking worried. I sighed as I turned away.“Nikky, we need to get to HQ right now. I just got a message that we've got a surprise client," "Ah, alright. Sarah, if you feel like going out, just call me, if I'm unavailable then be patient,” he said, getting up.“What about Enzo?" I asked, furrowing my brows. He couldn't possibly leave me here alone. Amelia had registered herself for some fashion design
