Chapter 4

Nikki

One year later. 

I can't believe how easy my life has been except for all the wired magically s**t that keeps happening to me. Like yesterday, I woke up floating over my bed and could not get down. I had to call Mac to help me, and it keeps happening to me out of the blue. Like right f*****g now. Mac help, it's happening again. I yell out as I am trying to hand the guy on the other side of the bar his beer and hold on for dear life as well. All the f*****g while, everyone is laughing their ass off at me. I blow out a breath that as my hair falling back in my face and yell, dame it Mac, get your ass out here and get me down now! Out of now where some ass hat walks up and grabs my wrists and says I can help you down if you want me to; as his hand wrapped around mine, I feel a shock run through my body. I look up at him. My breath leaves my lungs for the sheer beauty of this man; he is 6 "2 and 270 lb, and short black hair and eyes that are such a honey color I don't think there has ever been an exact color for them with the body only a god all I could do is smile down at him and say yes, please.

This amazing god of a man pulls me to him and holds me, and whispers something under his breath as more shocks run throw me causing a tingling to run down my spine. I can smile his desire before he lets go of me and says, my name is Wolf. I can't think with all the naughty things that are running through my mind. As I feel the wetness of my own desire soaking my underwear, I shake my head and think, oh s**t; this can't be happening to me. I finally clear my throat and say my name is Nikki. I know, sweetheart, and that's why I am here. I am your mate. Uh, I got to go.  Thanks for helping me see ya around by. I yell as I run to the back office to get to Mac. Wolf tries to come after me, but Lee gets in his way and says, my sister doesn't want to talk to you right now; how about you back off, man? The last thing I hear is him yell Nikki; please come back. I will not hurt you. Then all hell breaks loss when Lee hits his ass. I close the door and let out a breath as I fall to the floor. I look up when I hear Mac laughing his ass off at me. Really, why the f**k are you laughing at me, asshole? You're supposed to help me, not f*****g laugh at me. At that, a thought runs throw my mind. Hay, wait a minute. I yell as I jump to my feet and look down at him, I ask.  Did you know this was going to happen? Mac is now on the floor, holding his stomach, rolling like he's on fire with tears sliding down his face from laughing so hard.

Mac finally calms down enough to say, yes, child, I know he was coming, and he was your mate. At that, I freeze stuck in my place, unable to move as my breathing pikes up, and my mouth goes dry like I swallowed cotton or something, as Mac says. That's why your magic has been acting up, girl, so now what are you going to do about him? I have no f*****g idea. I can't even think right now; all I want to do is go home.  

Once I get the noted out of my throat, I tell Mac  I am heading home to rest tonight. I'll see what my options are, and ill let you know tomorrow when I come to work. Sure, that sounds like a plane to me, he says, nodding his head as he thinks about it. Hay, can you teleport me home so no one can follow me, please?  I ask, biting my lower lip. I guess, and I'll put a spell on you and your house, so no can find you tell, you want them to. Thanks, dad, I say as I smile down at Mac, who looks like he's going to cry and kill me at the same time. OK, smart ass, let's go, Mac says.

The next morning I called Mac and told him I not ready for the whole mate thing yet, so Mac said would make it to where Wolf could not get in and would leave me alone for now. I got up and took a shower and got ready for work, but for some reason, I just felt something terrible was about to happen.

Later that night, I am about halfway through my shift when this man walks in and asks for a Coke and rum, and a shot of rum on the side; he's about 6 "7 with dark brown hair and eyes. He's got a black tee-shirt on with dark jeans and black boots. As I give him his stuff, I grab the money on the bar when he reaches out and grabs my hand. I get a feeling of family, but also a sense of dread. It gives me the creeps. I quickly jerk my hand back and grab the money.

I do my best to avoid him for the rest of my shift even though I can still feel his eyes on me everywhere I go; it sends chills down my spine just thinking about him anywhere near me. Once we are closed, I take my time cleaning the bar up before I leave for the night. I still can't believe he grabbed me like that. It was so creepy, and the look on his face scared me more than anything.

Once I finish with everything in the bar, I lock up though, as soon as I step outside, my stomach drops, and my throat closes up. I get this weird feeling of either Doom. It's just too quiet and still out like the world knows it's in danger.

I to hurry up and get to my bike. I want the hell out of here. I can't explain it, but I know something wrong I have chills running down my body as my chest tightens from my heart racing and trying to jump out of my body. I feel like someone is watching me, but when I look back, no one there shaking. I reach my bike just as I grab the handlebars, someone grabs me from behind and bites into my shoulder. I scream out in pain; it feels like hot lava is running through my veins. I'm really freaking the f**k out now because the fire is only getting hotter and hotter as they bit savagely into my shoulder. I don't know what to do.

 I think M, what is he doing to us? He's trying to mate with us; we have to fight him as hard as we can to try to avoid it; he's not our mate!

Suddenly, I get a surge of power. I do not understand where it came from, but I use it to my advantage to break the bond and throw him off me. Once he's on the ground, I turn around to see it's the same guy from earlier tonight, and he's pissed the f**k off with his face flushed and jaw clench as he slams his fist down on the sidewalk and bares his teeth at me and say. b***h you are mine, and I will have you. It's just a matter of time so go on  Litte girl run while you can. I think to myself-will dame now what. In the next second, he's up and running with blood running down his face. My blood at that, I think, oh hell no and turn and ran as fast as I can to my bike and get the hell out of dodge.

Fuck Mac going to be mad as hell, but I am not going back there aging. I am so tired of this s**t I don't want to go home because I am scared he will follow me there, so I am going to Lees house instead. Once I get there, I run for the door, not think about anything else but getting in the house. I forget to stop, to knock, or even open the door. I just ran right through the mother f**k and straight to lee, who had a who am I going to kill look on his face. Lee yells, what's wrong, Nikki? All I can due Is cry and look behind me as I shake after what feels like forever. I finally calm down enough to tell him what happened to me. By the time I am done explaining everything, Lee is beyond pissed off, I have never seen his full vampire side, but holy s**t, he's scary as f**k. Then out of now, where I am hit with so much pain, I scream out and hit the floor. Lee yells f**k, MY LIFE DAME, IT. The next second he is at my side, calling Mac to come help and has May running to get some blood from the basement. I don't know what the f**k is going on. Still, I feel like I am going to die; everything hurts, and I can't see anything at all. My hearing keeps going In and out; the last thing I hear is May crying, and Mac says everything will be ok. I have just enough strength to ask what the f**k is happening to me?  I don't know, Lee whispers, then the darkens take me.

Three days later.

I wake up to Foster licking my face off. Ugh, why are you doing that stop it now, I screech at him? But no, he does aging, then doges my hand as I try to punch him. I swear to god he is grinning at me. You're an i***t; you know that I state as I get up looking around; I realize I am at Lee's house, and everything comes tumbling back as I remember what took place, as I peer over at Foster and state, hey, how did you know in here? About that time, Lee walks in and asks, how are you feeling, sis? I am fine now, but what the f**k is going on? What went on last night? Also, no one seems to notice the big ass black wolf in the room, so I ask. Uh, guys, also, how did Foster get in the house? Who is that? Lee asks? That would be the big ass wolf looking at you like you're a snack, I say as I look over at Foster licking is his lips. Oh, I forgot he was here. I let him in so we could get him to calm down because you kept crying for him. I was worried he injured himself struggling to get to you, Mac says.

Were you going to explain to us about your wolf Mac? Asks, dripping with sarcasm. Absolutely not, but merely because I did not want you to fret about it; he's been with me for roughly 3 years now. His name is Foster; as I say this, he comes and settles down beside me with his head in my lap. Well, Lee says you can keep him with you here why I help you as long as he doesn't bite my aging. What? Foster, did you snap at my bother? Why did you do that? You know Lee won't hurt me, and I know you recognize his scent as much as I am around him and May. Foster looks at Lee like he could murder him, then stares back at me with a huff; he lets out a small yep and shifts his head closer to me. I snort and say, ok, I forgive you this time, but please don't hurt my family anymore and less you have no choice.

Lee stares at me with narrowed eyes like I am insane with his eyes brows up to his hairline and says, do you think he can understand you and how the f**k do you understand him. I don't know. I just do. What do you mean I have to stay here? Why can't I go home? Foster goes stuff next to me as he lefts his lips and growls at me, and Lee yells, No f*****g way simultaneously; at the same time, Mac does. Hay, why are you all yelling at me? Mac looks so scary right now with his eyes glowing and teeth bared at me as he says, you can't go back to your place anymore for a while. Nikki, the wolf that attacked you, is going to be a problem. Why can't you or Lee kick his ass? No, it's not that easy, Nikki we are going to have to hide you for a while.

Just f*****g great, I finally find somewhere I am happy now I have to leave ugh, I hate this s**t. Ok, what about Foster? I don't want to leave him. Nikki, I am sorry, but you have to, and we need to move tonight; we have already seen a lot of wolfs around here that I don't know, Lee says. I grab Foster and hug him to me and cry. I am so sorry. I know I said I would never leave you, but I don't know what else to do. Foster licked me and gets up and goes to the door. Lee lets him out as I break down crying. Mac came and sit down with me and hugs me and says Nikki, my sweet girl; he will come back, I promise.
