My Secret, My Bully, My Mates.

Chapter 0310

"It's a long story, well more complicated really. She is a coven leader and they have certain requirements, I guess it's the best way to put it. They have traditions and expectations and a wolf mate is not a part of any of that. She is expected to marry a warlock and produce one of the next coven leaders." Mina gasps. "She hasn't gone through with anything and refuses to be with anyone else, but I have a feeling someone is going to give her an ultimatum and make her choose. It's why I took the warrior oath. I don't want anyone but her, but I also will not come between her and her coven. So we are stuck here in this limbo."

"Do you think they took her because she's a powerful witch or because she's mated to a wolf?" I ask before I can even think the question through.

Nickolas looks up at me and his face goes pale. "I didn't even think about that. She's a powerful witch and she's one of their most knowledgeable casters. It didn't even cross my mind that someone might see her mate bond as something to use as a weapon."

He peels out of the parking lot and I can tell he's mindlinking, aggressively, with someone. We got back to our house in under ten minutes and he flew out of the car without even closing the door. Osiston walks out our front door and meets him on the porch. Nickolas snarls and pulls his arm back for a punch, but Osiston is calm and sees the wild fury for the grief that it is and counters him easily.

Osiston leads him down the steps and into the yard where they grapple, Nickolas pouring all his rage into each punch and kick, but not being able to make a good connection while he is letting his emotions rule his movements. Osiston is too far away to take any real hits, but close enough to remain Nickolas' sole target.

This goes on for the better part of twenty minutes. Osiston is breathing heavily and finally gets Nickolas into a submissive pose on his knees, and then Nickolas just goes limp and crumples to the ground.

Mina and I just stood by and watched. There was nothing else to do. That helpless feeling of being out of control while someone you care about is in danger is the worst. I have destroyed a gym and passed out because of that level of anger. That seems like a lifetime ago.

"Okay." Osiston says. "We have some information that we can share, but we are going to need you two to fill in the blanks." He looks at Mina and I. We both nod, then walk over to Nickolas.

I squat down in front of him and place my hands on either side of his face, bringing his eyes up to look into mine. He doesn't fight me, but his gaze is lost, like he's looking right through me.

"We are going to fix this, alright? We are going to make this right. It's personal now."

"You can promise that." He whispers, still not focusing on me.

"Yes, I can. I can promise my full attention and my full effort. I can promise that you have never seen me stubborn and on a mission before. Alpha Reggie told you I'm special. I'm really not, I just have a bloodline that affords me some bonus features. Let me help. No one messes with my family."

"Can you really just metabolize silver?" He asks, sounding almost drunk.

"Yes. I can't explain it though, that's a Doc Ganon question.

"I need her back, Sky." This time he focuses right into my soul. I don't know how his emotional connection works with the brand on, but I'm not going to deny him anything at this moment.

"We will get her, that I can promise you." He nods and gets up slowly, wrapping an arm around both Mina and I as we walk into the house.
