The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Fifty-Seven

Putting my helmet on the back of my bike, I watched Killian pull the keys from his ignition. He took his helmet off, hooking it over the handlebars as he looked around. His body was tense and tight, like he was ready to spring into action if we were attacked.

Soft footsteps hit my ears and my eyes darted to the treeline to the side of the house. The sable wolf stepped out of the trees, his hackles raised and his chest moving fast. He shook his fur, but it did little to ease the anger of anguish that tainted his scent.

It hung in the back of my throat, making my teeth lengthen. Something had hurt Nick and he was looking to lash out. I wasn't going to let him hurt my mate.

Nick's eyes landed on me and he stopped moving, his lips pulled back and he bared his teeth at me. Sunlight glinted off of his dark fur. He took a step closer, his gaze flicking down to the marks on my neck. A growl poured from him, making everything in the woods go quiet.

Killian jumped off his bike, moving to stand in front of me. His body was in a low crouch. A growl of warning made chills go down my spine. I didn't like that he was putting himself in the way of me and an angry werewolf.

"Killian." I growled, low. Resting my hand on his shoulder, I tried to pull him out of my way. If we attacked him, it wouldn't be a fair fight. Two on one was never fair and we were dragons. He was weaker than us.

My mate wanted to tear him apart. To make him hurt for hurting our mate.

I didn't think that Olivia would be okay with that. Even though he had hurt her, he was still the father of her daughter. I doubted Olivia would easily forgive us for hurting him. Even if I wanted

to.

My dragon whispered how easy it would be to break him, to make him hurt for what he had done to Olivia and Everly. How alone he had made her feel. I wanted him to pay.

It was a struggle to keep my beast under control when all I could think about was how her face had looked after she had slept with Killian. How she kept waiting for him to reject her. How she had waited for it after I had claimed her.

A growl slipped past my lips. Nick's eyes moved from Killian and me, his snarl growing louder as he came forward.

"Fuck." Micheal shouted from behind us and loud footsteps pounded down the porch. "Nick, fucking stop it. They're not to blame and you will not attack my guests."

My skin rippled and I could feel my dragon trying to take over. I knew that Micheal wasn't trying to force a shift on me, but my beast didn't care. He was viewing everything as a threat. It didn't matter that Micheal was telling Nick not to attack us, not when his power moved over our skin. "Nick, shift." Micheal growled, his tone leaving no room for anything else as that power grew stronger.

Killian took a step closer to me, his back hitting my chest. I wrapped an arm around his chest. His body relaxed against mine and I breathed in his scent, letting it relax me. He was okay, I was okay. We were safe and not being threatened, despite Nick's growling.noveldrama

Micheal looked away from Nick, an apologetic smile on his face. "Sorry, I'm uh, part demon." "Demon?" I asked, the words were garbled but I knew he could understand me.

"Yeah, my other dad. It's a long story." He turned back to Nick and I felt the pressure on my skin increase.

A sharp crack sounded out. Bones and flesh snapping and twisting back into place. It wasn't a normal shift and Nick let out a pain-filled wail. I looked over at him, watching him fall to his knees. The painful wail turned into anguished tears.

I felt pity watching the man in front of me. It was a strange thing to feel for him, because I didn't want to feel it.

"If you two would like to come inside. I have something I need to discuss with you." Micheal said,

his tone was different from the times we had talked to him before. It was almost somber and I had the feeling that he was about to tell us something that we weren't going to want to hear.

I nodded, watching Micheal move over to Nick. He helped Nick stand up, wrapping an arm around his shoulders before leading him into the house.

I hated the wave of hurt that moved over my skin as he walked past us. He didn't look at us, but that was a broken man and I hated it.

Hated him.

***Nick POV***

I felt numb as Micheal helped me up the steps and into the pack house. My beast had run hard and with the forced shift, I was feeling drained, both mentally and physically.

I couldn't seem to get past how much I had messed things up with Olivia. She thought that I had told her to get rid of the baby.

Everything was starting to make sense now. The way my brothers had acted the few times that they had called when Chelsea wasn't around. Why mom and dad were so upset and quick to anger when they spoke to me.

I had thought they were all mad at me for rejecting my fated mate. That they would forgive me with time and that things would settle over after a few years. But now I knew why they were so pissed. It was because I had left her alone when she was carrying my child.

Just thinking about what she must have gone through made my heart feel like it was breaking. It was common for rejected mates to be shunned. Not that I had wanted that to happen to her. I was just so blinded by my feelings for Chelsea that I hadn't thought about what this would mean for Livie. How her family and the rest of the pack would treat her.

I was glad my family and our alpha had been there for her and I could understand why they were

all so pissed at me now. If I were them, I would hate me too.
