The Lycan Kingpin's Captive: A Baby For The Beast novel Chapter 5

I lock the envelope in my safe and walk over to the crystal bourbon decanter in the corner of my office.

The omega said yes to my offer, not that I thought she’d reject it. She’s running away from a man who hates me, of course, she would agree to my offer of safety. But I still don’t know why she was running from that cunt, Mikhail, or why they needed her back so desperately that they ran right into my territory.

She must be important to them; the fact that she ran right into my arms must be a sign from the Goddess. Not that I’m a believer; All I know is that little rabbit is my trump card in this war, and making her birth my first-born will be the ultimate ‘fuck you’ to that asshole.

The door of my office bursts open and my Beta, Maxim, walks in with his eyes glowing golden and his hands balled into fists at his side. He’s pissed off about something, I can tell from his scent.

“Típota! Absolutely fucking NOTHING!” he exclaims while looking feral as fuck.

I take a sip of my bourbon and raise my eyebrow at him. “Are we playing guessing games right now?”

My nonchalance causes him to emit a low growl and he glares at me. “You know exactly what I’m talking about, Niko; that fucking Omega sleeping soundly on the top floor,” he says, then walks over to me and grabs the glass from my hand before downing it.

I sigh and proceed to pour myself another two fingers into a separate glass while looking at him questioningly. He didn’t like it when I asked him to bring that little rabbit along with us after killing those soldiers who ran after her. In hindsight, I probably should have kept them alive to question them, but seeing Mikhail’s men in my territory made me fucking see red.

“Did you find out who she is?”

“That’s what I meant when I said absolutely fucking nothing. She’s not listed anywhere; no prints, no facial recognition, no birthdate, no name - no biometrics,” he says, shaking his head. “It’s like she doesn’t fucking exist.”

I grin. “Hmmm, this intrigues me even more now. What could Mikhail want with a ghost?” I say, chuckling. There’s no way he would go to such lengths to keep this little rabbit hidden… ”Unless that ghost is something more… something he’s trying to hide from the world.”

Maxim looks at me as if I’ve gone crazy, then he shakes his head. “I don’t like that look in your eyes, Nikolaos,” he says. “I don’t like it at all.”

“Well, it’s obvious that rabbit is of high importance to someone like Popov; so we keep her here for a while until I’m done with her.”

He frowns. “Done with her? With all due respect, Niko, you have more important things to worry about than playing warden to a nobody. The Pack Elders-”

“Will get their heir,” I say, finishing my drink. “That’s what I mean when I say until I’m done with her.”
