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

Chapter 25 - Nikolaos

This woman drives me fucking crazy.

I went on my knees for her yesterday as if she were my queen, called her my Luna, and vowed to

protect her. Now she’s parading around in a fucking swimsuit right below my office window while my

warriors make her laugh.

How can one movement change me like this? The second I felt my child move, every single part of me

snapped to attention. My beast growled deep within me, and that little link I felt to Mia now pulled tautly.

I’ve been trying to push this feeling down, but the more I do, the more I fucking realize…

She’s mine, and I don’t want her to leave.

When did this become so fucking complicated? Knox looks at me with a grin and I nearly want to punch

his fucking smug face. I know when it became complicated; when I sampled her during her heat.

Now I want more of her. I want her close to me; I want to feel her skin on mine, I want to hear her say

my name without the fucking title like she did yesterday.

/“Why don’t you just make your feelings known?”/ Knox asks, perplexed. /“Things would be so much

easier if you just told her how you feel.”/

“Because I promised her the freedom she craved. I won’t keep her prisoner here,” I say out loud,

watching as she sits at the edge of the pool with a lacey red cover over her swimsuit.

The more I watch her speaking to two of my warriors, the more I want to go to her. She’s laughing, her

smile contagious from the way those warriors are looking at her. Her hand goes to her mouth as she

laughs and I frown, noticing that my ring is nowhere to be seen.

Growling, I stomp downstairs to give her a piece of my fucking mind. How dare she take my ring from

her finger? I put it there for a reason, and now she just removed it?!

I step into the pool area and my warriors turn to look at me, scattering when they see my eyes and

sense my anger. Mia watches them rushing away from her and frowns, then she sees me and her eyes

widen.

“Alpha Nikolaos!” she exclaims and jumps to her feet while looking confused. “It’s a hot day. I hope you

don’t mind me being out here!”

I grab her left hand and hold it up. “Where is your ring?” I growl.

Her eyes narrow at me, and her mouth opens slightly. “I…I left it in my bedroom before coming down

here to swim. I didn’t want to risk losing it…” she trails off, then she smiles slightly. “Do you want me to

put it on again? I can go-” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“No,” I sigh and let go of her hand, feeling like a goddamn idiot. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

She smiles slightly and cocks her head to the side, looking so cute and fucking innocent. “If I knew it

would make you this angry, I would have kept it on.”

I pinch the bridge of my nose and growl. “It’s okay, Mia- fuck, Mirabella.”

“I like it when you call me Mia,” she says, her voice tinged with something other than shyness. When I

look up to see that smile on her face again and my heart fucking constricts.

“Then you’ll be my Mia, if that’s the name you prefer,” I say, and nearly punch a wall at what I’ve just

said. “I’m sorry for getting angry like that. Of course you can take it off if you feel it’s necessary.”

My Mia, what the fuck is wrong with you, Nikolaos? She’ll be your Luna in marriage only, nothing else…

it can’t be anything else.

That smile remains on her face as she takes a step towards me with her hands behind her back, but

there’s a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Maybe it's the heat getting to you, Alpha,” she says and cocks

her head to the side again. “Perhaps you need to cool off.”

“Mia-”

I already knew what she was about to do, so the second she pushed me into the pool, I pulled her

along with me. She shrieks as we go down, and the more I try to feel pissed off at what she’s just done,

the more the grin spreads on my face.

Water fills my lungs and I sputter, but I bring us both up before she can swallow any more than she

needs to. She coughs and takes deep breaths, looking at me as if she wants to murder me and I

fucking love it.

“Why did you do that?!” she shrieks, but I can’t stop this fucking grin from spreading.

“I should be asking you that, little rabbit. Why did you think you would get out of pushing your Alpha

into the pool?” I ask, leading her over to the pool wall and caging her in with my arms.

Her eyes grow wide and her cheeks rosy, but there’s no sense of fear in her delicious strawberry and

cinnamon scent.

“Anyone trying that would be dead right now,” I murmur, leaning in close. “You can be lucky…”

Her breath hitches in her throat. “Lucky…?”

“You can be lucky you’re mine,” I say.

This is dangerous; being so close to her is zapping every bit of my self-restraint to dust. I should move

back, in fact, I almost move back…but then she slightly opens her mouth and I throw caution to the

fucking wind.

She moans when I claim her lips with the kiss I’ve been starved for; her lips and tongue are

inexperienced but soft against my rough claim. I drink her in, every bit of her. Her supple body against

mine, her arms around my neck, her hands in my hair, the way she moans into my mouth.

This is everything I fucking hoped for, everything I’ve ever wanted. My first kiss with a woman I’d

hungered for since I laid my eyes on her.

She wraps her legs around my waist and I grind my cock against her center, her sudden gasp spurning

me on and making me want to sink so deep inside of her that I won’t want to come up for air.

This woman is intoxicating, and tests every hard limit I have imposed on myself. Her presence chips

away at the thick walls I’ve built and makes me want to submit to her. It’s fucking pathetic, an Alpha

submitting to a mere Omega, but that’s what she does to me…

“You’re mine, Mia. Say you’re mine,” I murmur as my kisses move down to her neck and she lets out a

moan, causing my cock to twitch painfully.

“I’m…I’m yours, Nikolaos…” she digs her nails into my shoulders, the wet fabric of my shirt feeling like

it’s in the way so I strip it off and try to kiss her again -

But the second she touches my bare chest with her hands, I snap back and move away from her. That

familiar disgust coils in the pit of my stomach and those alarm bells fill my head with the old warnings.

You’re not loved. No one wants you, Nikolaos. They will use you for your title only, we’re the only ones

who will ever love you. This girl wants you because your power means her freedom…that’s all. No one

wants a ruined little boy with dirty secrets and you know it’s the truth.

The hurt in her eyes breaks my heart, but the voices overpower my need to placate her. She moves

closer; the water rippling as she reaches out, but I move out of her reach and swim over to the opposite

side.

“Nikolaos!” She calls after me, but I can hear nothing but their voices as they laugh at me, proving their

words right.
