Restaurant Shea Novel was a lovely two- story place with an upper balcony flooded with soft outdoor string lights and a very Greeshan vibe. There were beautiful white curtains draping in open verandas, and the waiters and waitresses were dresses scantily in golden chain designed alfits with white cloth as pants. The men had no shirts on, and being heavily heavenly muscled seemed to be a job requirement. The women were wearing these beautiful golden chain shirts that left very little to the imagination in true greeshan style and gewenie style white pants with golden chains as a belt.
It was hard for Haven not to stare at their bodies so clearly on display. They looked like beautiful gods and goddesses.
"Alpha,hi," a couple of girls who seemed all too familiar with Alpha Nicklaus rushed up to pamper him. They fussed over him, pushing their ample boosums into his face. He hurriedly pushed them back to arms length.
" Nice to see you again, ladies. This is my companion, Haven," he deliberately introduced her. He was Alpha, and he could do anything or anyone he liked to, but he felt the need to justify to Haven the not so innocence of his acquaintance with the women. The girls quickly picked up on the hint and greeted her much in the same exuberant manner. They were beautiful blond buxom twins.
"What would you like to drink, Alpha?" The inquired.
"Let us have two Ouzo and two waters," he ordered.
"Coming right up," they chimed in merrily.
"Haven," he began as the girls frolicking away.
" It's ok." She said. "You are the Alpha, and I am sure you have a past. It wouldn't be fair of me to be jealous of that. " She stated.
"Thank you for that, " he said and pecked her cheek. It was odd for him to feel this kind of loyalty to a woman.
A very sexy man walked over with their drinks, and Haven made sure to keep her eyes trained on her alpha. She wanted him to know that he was the series man alive in her eyes, and these other guys did not peek her interest. The corner of Nicklaus mouth turned up in a sly smile, and he snaked his hand across her leg.
Smack!
She smacked his hand softly. His shocked expression made her laugh softly. Then she rewarded him with a kiss on his sexy mouth.
"You are very naughty," she told him as the waitress came over to take their order.
"Let us have two Greek salads, a rack of lamb and some baklava." He ordered for them. Haven could clearly see her taught n*****s through the chain mail, and she wondered how these women were sp comfortable walking around half naked.
The food was wonderful. It was full of flavor. The salad was crisp with the loveliest cheese pieces on it, and the lamb was so moist and delectable. The dessert was so sweet and savory at the same time. It was out of this world.
"What made you want to build a Greek restaurant, " she asked Nicklaus.
"My family comes from Sparta and Athens," he answered her.
"Well, that explains the godlike physique," she thought, but said, "So, you are a regular Grrek God, then. Nicklaus awarded her compliment with his award winning smile.
"I will let you believe that," he answered her. At the moment, they heard some commotion coming from the stairs, and he became stock still. Like he was listening to something with his Alpha senses. Suddenly, he grabbed her, pulled her under the table, and collapsed the table in front of them. She cried out at the suddenness of his actions, but they were followed by a spray of bullets that peppered the area they had just been sitting, including the table in front of them.
His warriors came rushing over.
"Alpha, apologies, they gave no warning signs. We were rushed from every side." One of his detail expressed vehemently. The man busied himself, helping Haven up from the floor and turning the table out of their way.
Nickluas growled menacingly at the man who was touching Haven, and the man instantly let go of her hand.
" I was just trying to help Alpha," he said quickly and stepped back.
"You have helped quite enough," Alpha Nicklaus stated shortly. Hen he smelt blood. "Who is hurt?" He said roughly
"Alpha," Haven managed to say softly before she felt herself falling toward the ground.
"Haven!" He yelled and lunged to catch her limp body. He saw the blood now soaking through the side of her shirt. "Get the car!" He yelled, scooping her up and running with her through the restaurant. They sped their way back to their pack territory where their pack doctor would meet them. He had his shirt balled up and pressed into her side.
All he could look at was her pale face drained of blood.
"Hurry, Jared," he ordered loudly. They finally made it to the packhouse, and Nickluas lifted her up to his chest in his powerful arms and bolted from the suburban before it had fully stopped.
Jared slid to a stop, killed the car, and ran after them. He flug the door open for them and every door in his Alpha's way because Nicklaus clearly intended to go through anything that stood in his way to the pack hospital.
Several nurses and the doctor came rushed towards them with a gurney and supplies, and Nickluas deposited Haven in the gurney. She was unconscious, and they wished her away from him to do imaging and rush into the OR.
Nicklaus stood there after they took her. Her blood stained his hands and bare chest. He turned towards Jared, who also looked shell shocked momentarily until he saw his Alpha's lost expression.
"Nick, nick? She is going to be ok, man, ok? You did well. We got her here fast and alive." He encouraged him. Alpha's face changed expressions from shocked sadness and confusion to rage. He visibly grew bigger, and his eyes started to turn black.
"I'm going to kill them, Jared," he raged, slamming his fist into the innocent hospital wall.
"Alpha, you can't let your wolf take over right now. We need you here. Haven needs you here," he tried to calm him down. Nicklaus leaned against the wall with both hands up on the wall. He pressed his four head to the cool surface, trying to stop huffing and puffing. His wolf was raging under the surface, demanding revenge, but he didn't want to leave. He needed to know about Haven. He needed to see her open her beautiful eyes again.
"Go back to the restaurant, Jared. Gather information. Figure out who did this." He instructed slowly, his voice deadly.
"Yes, sir," Jared said and then rushed off.
Nicklaus paced up and down the hallway, his patience wearing. Finally, one of the nurses came put to talk to him.
" She is stable," the nurse began. "The bullet damaged some major organs, but she is slowly regenerating. She is underage, so her wolf hasn't full come to the surface, but it is helping her heal. She isn't out of the woods yet. If she had a mate, being near him could help," she said.
