The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 40

Nicolette's POV

I hold my hand against the wall as I push myself up, with my head still spinning. Lucas put out his hands just incase I tumbled over. These people, I could help all of them of I just gathered enough strength.

"I can help all of them," I rasp. I saw the man move his wrist without and emotion of pain or discomfort. I lifted my hand off of the wall and almost fall back to the ground.

"That looked harsh Nicole, I think you should go back and rest. Malcom, Seth, and I will take care of the 30th just please don't exhaust yourself. You can come back another day when you're ready," he tried to convince as I regain the little balance I had.

"Thank you," he breathed. The man that was healed was smiling from ear to ear. The smile that made me want to keep doing it for every wolf in here. Make my life useful before the unimaginable happens.

"She'll come back for the rest of you all, for now let her rest," Malcom announced. He throws my arm over his shoulder and clung in to my back to make sure I didn't fall.

Black magic was always a topic my mom told me to stay away from. She taught me how to overcome it if I ever encountered it but I never practice on real dark magic. It was exhausting. It was like a spirit had taken over my body before it escaped from my body.

Lucas practically dragged me back to the room. He swung the room door open and I saw Malcom standing there, waiting.

"What the hell did you do to her," he growled. Lucas rolls his eyes and leads me to the bed and helps me climb in.

Lucas' POV

"She found a way," I told him after stepping outside of Nicolette's room. He still had fury glowing in his eyes at the sight of Nicole being so drained.

"Found a way for what?" He demanded.

"She found away to heal the royal guards," I informed. The fury in his eyes drained and he didn't look as mad as he did when Nicole first walked in.

"What?" He questions me. "Damn it I should have put her guards back."

"You treat her like she is about to break into a million pieces whenever she's drained. Witches have more years of experience than her she's still learning. She's not a baby that needs to be watched twenty four seven," I spat.

He treated her so badly when he first found her. If she were my mate, I wouldn't hesitate to make her mine. Instead, he pushed her away and yet she still wants him. Imagine having a perfect mate like that. No matter how much he hurt her, she still wanted to make things work. She's so god damned perfect and yet he still doesn't see it. I wanted her. He didn't want her so I want her.

"I just want to make sure she's safe," he fought. I rolled my eyes shook my head.

"Yeah because cheating on your mate is wanting to make sure she's safe," I scoff. He let out a threatening growl. "Whatever man, someone is trying to kill her in a week. Figure it out."

He let out a growl and stormed out of his house. I heard the door open so softly that I almost didn't catch it.

"Do you really want me as your mate?" Her voice echoed through the silence. My heart rate picked up as I turn around quickly and faced her tired face. "I-I'm sorry I just heard your thoughts by accident I-I really have no control about it." Her face became red and I could tell she was embarrassed from asking.
