The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 25

Malcom's POV

I woke up to the shouting and screaming from outside of Nicolette's room. The sheets had been thrown around and her scent lingered.

The sounds of footsteps were heard next as the slam of the front door rang through my house. I felt a break through the pack's barrier. Someone had gotten through border control. I'm going to need to have a talk with them.

I fling the curtains that covered the window open and saw Nicolette leaping through the trees and warriors following her on foot. I let out a growl. How could Lucas just let her go out like that.

I fling open the balcony door and jump to the ground and shift into my wolf.

My wolf begged for the control. He wanted to be the one to save Nicolette but her safety came before the pride of my wolf.

I ran through the trees catching up with Nicolette's vampire speed. The scent of rouges hit my nose as Nicolette came to a stop.

I shifted back into my human form and found clothes. The same man that had captured Nicolette the other day. I heard her voice cut into the link.

"Warriors please refrain from attacking the rouges in front of you. The female witch in the tree will take care of it," her voice rang through my head. My eyes widened. It takes a lot of training to learn to do that.

I watched her jump down to the forest ground making a noise that made the rouges turn and face her.

A wolf made a snide remark at her which made my wolf want to lash out and attack but I stifled a growl from him. I watched as the wolf turned into ash and the force of the wind that came from her blow into the wind.

His body flew with the win then all of their heads snapped and they were all on the ground. My wolf watched in awe. He was proud of his mate.

The man took off and Nicolette looked forward, dazed. Then, she was on the ground. I moved quickly to her side and bent down beside her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lucas growled. I ignored his question and put my hand over her neck the feel her heart rate.

"I asked you a question Malcom," he said. My eyes flashed golden at the disrespect from my Beta.

"And I am higher rank than you Lucas. You have no right to be barking orders at the Alpha unless you want to be stripped from your title," I snapped back. He opened his mouth to say something but he smartly kept his mouth shut.

Her heart rate was slowing down and her temperature was rising. I carefully lifted her up off the ground and carried her bridal style back to my house.

"Gather the border control and all warriors on the training ground and you and Seth take over watching the border," I ordered. Nicolette looked exhausted as she laid in my arms peacefully.

Her body was freezing cold against my warm body. I guess her witch and vampire form dominates the warmth of her wolf. She always seems cold all the time.

I bring her carefully to her room and lay her in her bed and covered her. I stare at her for a few seconds and plant a light kiss on her forehead. I turned off the lights and make my way to the training grounds. I would get back before Nicolette could wake up, hopefully.

The warriors were all crowded on the training grounds like I had ordered. Their murmurs were carried by the wind as they wondered why I had requested them to be there.

"How long did I train all of you before you were sent to your training," I asked calmly. I paced back and forth as they grew silent.

"One year, Alpha," someone finally answered. I heard a slap and a quiet ow from the wolf that answered. The warrior next to him instructed him to not speak but not quiet enough.

"Why shouldn't he speak warrior? I asked a question and he answered," I stared at him. His eyes widened and his heart rate started to pick up.
