Little Wolf

Maisie’s Flashback - Nikolai

I watched as she slept, I couldn’t get her scream of “Nikolai help Me” out of my head. Who did this to her? Was it that fucker, Gavriil? If he was abusing her, it’s a good thing the asshole would die soon. I couldn’t get her scream out of my head, the sheer panic in her voice. What did he do to her? I was still fuming over what she had told me, but now after her nightmare.

“Niko, what did she say? Her voice was panicked, and her words were jumbled,” Hanna’s voice shook.

I looked at her. “She kept screaming, pleading for him to stop, that it hurt. That’s when she screamed for me.”

Hanna had tears running down her face. “Who the hell would do this to a person? I’m going to kill him.”

“Whoever he is, he’s a dead man walking” I stated.

I reached out to stroke her cheek while she slept. “Hanna, you were in here with her a long time before your little mind stunt. What were you talking about with her?”

“She asked me what her position was in the pack, then I explained all the ranks. Then I told her she would be the Luna.” She kept her gaze on me, but I’ve come to know her well enough to know she’s evading.

“What else?” I asked

“Nothing Niko.” She said

“I know you, Hanna. That was not your normal detailed debrief.” I pinned my gaze on her. I held up a finger before she answered thinking long and hard “Answer this question, Is it between Luna and a Beta?”

“Yes” she admitted

“I’ll leave it alone for now.” I rose, and motioned to Hanna to do the same, when Maisie got fitful I pulled my shirt off and draped it on her pillow. Seeing her settle I nodded. “Meeting time”
