The Alpha King's Tribrid Mate novel Chapter 54

Third Person POV

Malcom's eyes widened when he realized what Nicolette did. There was no more energy, no more will to fight. That was her last goodbye, saving Malcom. Denali wanted to make Malcom watch her kill Nicolette. Nicolette wouldn't let that happen.

Denali walked out of the shadows and swung her hand through the air. Malcom stopped moving backwards and stood in place. Nicolette looked up and let out a sob.

"Let him go," she cried. "Kill me, torture me. Do whatever you want. Just don't make him watch." Denali laughed and grabbed a chair from the corner of the room. Malcom didn't move, he didn't even blink. He was under her control again.

"All those small moments he holds onto are peaceful. When I fully take control of him, he can remember how I killed you," she glared. Nicolette's face was filled with tears as she tried to push out more power. She thrashed against the chains, trying to break free.

Denali made a fist and Nicolette's airway closed off. She chocked and clawed at her throat but there was nothing there for her to grab.

Nicolette wolf whined as she felt her life slipping away from her. Her vision became blurry and she was staring to slip in and out of consciousness.

She felt the wall breaking again. Nicolette tried to reach Malcom but she couldn't find his wolf. He was trapped inside his own head. Even his own mate couldn't find him.

Malcom watched her silently while in the back of his mind, he was crying for her. Usually, he couldn't see the torment he did to Nicolette but now, he saw everything.

He watched the pain on her face as his mother drained the life out of her. He watched her clawing at her throat but grabbing nothing. He watched her desperately trying to save her own life. He watched the life drain out of her eyes when she finally fell limp. He watched his mother drop her hand.

Denali left Nicolette barely breathing before she walked out of the basement and placed a seal on the door. Malcom was let out his mind chamber and he rushed to Nicolette.

Her demon and wolf pushed out as much energy as they could to keep her conscious. As Nicolette tries to lift her head, Malcom caught a glimpse of her orange eyes. There was nothing left to keep her awake except their power.

"Leave," Nicolette croaked. Malcom knelt down next to her and wiped her tears off her face. He shook his head and tried to break the chains off the wall again. Malcom got up to break down the flimsy wooden door but Nicolette quickly stoped him. "She put a seal on it. You won't be able to break through it."
