Chapter 0401

My b*dy moved on its own. Suddenly, I sprung into full action, grabbing Nicholas and pulling him closer. I put my mouth straight on his n*eck and started sucking in a mark. I didn’t know where her scent was but I had to remove it

now.

“Piper, ah…” Nicholas moaned. His fingers clenched where they sat at my waist.

When my mark was red enough, I placed another and another. All along the column of his n*eck.

Then I inhaled. Shit. That damned scent was still there.

I felt wild, like I was losing myself. A growl sounded from the back of my throat.

Nicholas finally seemed to notice. He removed his grip from my waist, to grip my hands instead. He pressed them down into the mat, then used that leverage to push himself upright, out of range of my eager mouth.

My growl was deeper, angrier. I needed to get my scent on him. I was desperate for it.

He still smelled like her.

“Piper, stop fighting me.” He was using his Alpha voice again. It was deep and low and shivered through me. I stilled at once. “Good.” The praise felt even better. He noticed that too. “Good girl.”

A soft whimper escaped the back of my throat.

“Piper, keep being a good girl for me and tell me what is going on.”

I licked my l*ps and tried to focus my thoughts. I still felt wild and scattered, but my Alpha mate was asking me a question and I could answer it.

“You smell like her…” I said. I didn’t recognize my own voice, it was so rough.

Nicholas blinked at me. “What? Who?”

“Bridget,” I spit out the name. “You are carrying her scent.

“I am…? Oh. She hugged me this morning.”

My growl became more prominent.
