Nicole's POV

After bumping into him in the kitchen I wanted to ring his neck. Not because he bumped into me, no it was because he is an arrogant asshole. I stormed up to my room and sat in bed flipping through the tv channels. I found some cooking show to watch and pass the time.

I had gotten through a few episodes when I heard a knock on my door.

“Who is it?” I asked.

“It's your favorite guard dogs!” Sam called

“Woof woof” Tyler added.

I chuckled and got up to open the door.

The moment the door opened there they stood with wolfish grins plastered on their faces.

“What” I asked, crossing my arms.

They pushed their way inside. Sam plopped down at the foot of my bed.

Tyler walked towards my closet.

I raised my eyebrow confused at what was happening.

“What the hell is going on here?” I asked again.

“Where are all your good clothes?” Ty yelled out to me from the closet.

“Boy! You better get out of my clothes right now!” I yelled back.

“Here put these on!”

I was thrown some jeans and a tank. I held them up and gave a questioning look.

“Your friend Nathalie wants to hang out again” Sam responded as he laid on his back and threw a pillow up in the air and caught it.

“I get to go back to the club? But I thought–”

“It was his idea. We have work there so…” Tyler added.

“Great. So he's going too..” I mumbled under my breath.

“Yup. So put on the clothes. And change your attitude while you're at it” Sam said, throwing the pillow at my face.

I growled and glared at him.

Stomping into the bathroom I changed my clothes and pulled my hair up. I looked decent. It was casual clothes but at least I had a better body than I did a few months ago. I had filled out in all the right places and I had more muscle definition form the training I received.

I walked out and both men gave me a once over before smiling at me.

“Great! Now let's go” Sam replied towards me.

I was ushered down the steps and almost fell a few times. Why were they so pushy, literally and metaphorically.

We stood at the door. Tyler and Sam on either side of me. Gabe, Jeff, and two more guards all stood off to the side talking amongst themselves. All talking stopped when we heard heavy footsteps approach. His scent filled my nose and I felt Winter purr in my head. I pushed it aside and looked up to see him looking better than I thought he could. He had on a fitted black t-shirt. His muscles bulged and his tattoo peaked out the top more than normal. His jeans fit him perfectly. He looked sleek and I couldn't help but stare at him. His eyes landed on me and I saw him take in every inch of me from head to toe. A blush crept up my neck and I turned away.

“Get the cars” he said and one by one each of the men around me walked out the door. Tyler grabbed my arm and ushered me out the door.

Outside were three cars. Jeff and one of the warriors got into the back car. Gabe got into the middle car and Sam and Tyler got in the first. Tyler nodded towards the backseat and I walked forward and slid inside. I watched as Jake slid into the middle car.

“Figured you would want some space” Tyler added and I just offered a small smile in understanding.

We drove out of the pack house and through town. It took about 40 minutes until we pulled up to the club. The sign out front had a black wolf head and I couldn't help but wonder how I missed this the first time.

Tyler opened the door and waited for me to slide out. Doors closed and all the cars were soon emptied of passengers onto the sidewalk. Jake straightened his shirt and walked past everyone and inside. Sam followed next then myself, Tyler, and the rest of the guards.

Walking inside there was no music this time. Actually, the only other people here were workers. Jake had made his way up a set of stairs and behind a closed door.

Sam turned towards me, “Nicole, go find Nathalie. She is backstage most likely. We will be out shortly”.

I nodded and stepped away as Sam, Tyler, and Gabe walked upstairs. The others all stood by the door and kept watch.

I wondered what the meeting was about.

I walked to the stage when a familiar voice caught my attention.

“Nicole! Girl, welcome back!” Nathalie said, waving.

I smiled and met her at a set of stairs to get on stage.

“Hey Nathalie!”

“How are you doing? You look good!”

“I'm doing okay. How have you been?”

She studied my face for a while.

“I'm doing alright. But there is something else on your mind. I can tell”.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me backstage.

There were other girls there all talking and sitting around mirrors.

“Girls this is Nicole, Nicole these are the girls!”

I waved and smiled slightly. I felt uncomfortable like I was intruding on something.

“Come sit over here Nicole” One girl said and patted on a chair. I walked over and sat down.

“So tell us about yourself” Nathalie said smiling as she sat down across from me.

“What do you wanna know?” I asked fiddling with my thumbs.

“How old are you? Where did you grow up? What's your favorite music? Or how about the million dollar question… how did you get on the Alphas good side?”

I felt a blush creep up my neck.

“Ummm… well you see… I'm 18… Where I grew up is a long story… I don't have a favorite music.. And as for the alpha… well he saved me and now they've been protecting me since..”

“Protecting you from what exactly?” Nathalie asked me.

I looked down and avoided the question.

“Men?” another girl asked.

I nodded and hoped that it would be enough.

“Girl, we know how that feels!”

Nathalie stood up clapping her hands together.

“Alright! Enough sad stories! Come on Nicole- let’s get you dolled up”.

“What’s wrong with how I look?” I asked.

“Nothing honey! You’re adorable. But you’re living with some of the most desirable bachelors. Plus a killer body. Just gonna highlight it is all”.

“Ummm I don’t kno—“

“Too bad sweetie. Just sit back and trust me”
