The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 48

Third Person POV

She just stared at it for awhile.

Nicolette hands trembled as she watched small rocks and pebbles drop down into the deep chasm. She counted how long it would take for a pebble hit the bottom of the revenue, 68 seconds. It took 68 seconds for a pebble to fit the bottom.

She stood in shook as she counted over, and over, and over again. It was shocking to her that she could do that. Nicolette started to tremble and she ran to a tree and threw up the small snacks she ate throughout the day.

"Oh god Nicolette, you're not pregnant are you?" She heard from behind her. Nicolette rolled her eyes and shot a glare to Beck.

"No Beck, I'm not pregnant," she growled as she wiped her mouth. There was no other indicator that she was pregnant. She threw up because of nerves.

"Are you sure Nicolette because I think the mate bond was completed and you don't have to be in heat to get pregnant," he said. He was propped up against a tree, watching her from afar.

"Whatever dad," she rolled his eyes. "Also, I still have a less chance to be pregnant if I'm not in heat and I'm a vampire, witch, and werewolf, I think I would figure out if I'm pregnant."

"You gave him access to you power now. He's stronger but you aren't," he told her. She knew that already. It had gone through her head a million times. She gave him a fraction of her power.

It was hard to explain. It's like a small part of her magic had been sealed off and that magic was used for strengthening her mate. He wasn't going to benefit Nicolette because she was already stronger than him.

"I know."

"I don't understand why werewolves live in the woods," he mutters. Nicolette couldn't tell if it was directed to her or he was muttering to himself. "The stars are hidden in the trees."

Nicolette made her way to Beck and grabbed him by the sleeve of his shirt. "Come on," she said. She dragged up the trees, making him struggle to keep up with her climbing.

His sleeve was eventually released and she climbed the rest of the way up the tree, hoping that he was still following. As she got higher, the branches became thinner, but she found one at the very top that held her and Beck.

She sat herself down and Beck swung himself on top of it too. He began to open his mouth to say something but she covered his mouth before any form of words could come out.

A howl echoed through the woods, followed by a choir of howls. The wind rushed through their hair and carried the sound of the cries through the night.

"We stay in the woods because it shelters us. It keeps us hidden and safe from others. The trees a canopy, a protection of the outside world. The woods are our playground, our safe place. No one will find us out here. It keeps us hidden from our prey. It has its dangers but it's better that living in the open. We have a whole community in these woods," She said looking down.
