The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 24

Nicolette's POV

It was there at once but then it had disappeared. The dream that haunted me the night before started playing again in my hair but the it blew away. It was dark but a peaceful dark, one that I wasn't afraid of.

The rest of my sleep was peaceful with no interruptions. One of the best sleeps I had gotten since I had arrived in this pack.

My eyes open slowly as I finally woke up from my sleep. My wolf was surprisingly relaxed and content with the sleep she had gotten.

I felt movement next to me and almost let out a scream as I see Malcom next to me with his fingers interlaced with mine. He sat in the uncomfortable arm-chair that I could never get comfortable in and his head lay next to my pillow but not on it.

I slowly and carefully remove my hand from his and stared at him sleeping on my bed. Why is he even in here? I shrug and walked into the closet and grabbed a sweater and wrapped it over my body.

The cold winter air had cooled the house down and the heater had went back into the air conditioning setting which made the house extremely cold.

I put some slippers on to refrain the cold tiles from freezing my feet. The snores of Malcom filled the empty room as I walked out and shut the door behind me.

I walk into the kitchen to decide what to have for breakfast or lunch. I didn't really check the time when I was in my room.

I opened the fridge and took out the last blood bag and stuck a straw in it and walked around the house. Paintings decorated the massive hallways. All different kinds but signed by the same person. 'Denali'

These were all her paintings. Some were paintings of Darius and Malcom and some were of sceneries and more. I wandered through the castle he calls a house and eventually stumbled upon the library.

I open the large carved wooden doors and stared at the walls of books. I marveled at every one of them as I walked through and scanned each title.

Werewolves: What to know about them

Witches: What to know about them

Vampires: What to know about them

I picked up the werewolf one and skimmed through the pages reading already known information. It was amazing how many details a human could get wrong about werewolves.

'Werewolves shift into their wolf on full moons,' false we have control over our shifts. 'Werewolves listen to one person, the Alpha," wrong wolves of higher ranks are to be listened to also.

"Why are you reading a book about Werewolves when you already know everything," a voice said. I closed the book and looked up to Lucas standing near the door, leaning on the frame.

"Did you know a human wrote this?" I asked him as I put the book back in it's place and plopping down on one of the dust, fabric couches.

"Yes I do know that was written by a human, Ive read that book before," he said taking a seat from across me and leaned back in the seat.

"Then why are you questioning everything about reading a book when you've read it too?" I ask him folding my hands.

"Touché," he nodded. I forced back my smile from my small victory and crossed my legs and stared up at the books. The walls went on forever and every single inch was filled with books.

I walked over to the wall and whispered a spell. My body lifted from the ground as I was practically floating on air as I moved up the library shelves.

An invisible shield of magic followed me as I stepped and read all the Titles on the higher shelves.

"You know there's a ladder right there," Lucas said pointing to it, right next to me. I shrug and continued to read the Titles.

"You smell like Malcom," he commented as I drift down back to the ground. I groan as I turn my head to sniff myself.
