Chapter 21
Shelby’s POV
I will make Nico so sorry he ever tried to get away from me. I looked for him all last night and could not find him. He wouldn’t
answer his phone, and the Gamma, James Herrington, had no idea where he was, just that he said he had something important come up and would be gone for a few days. I already knew what had come up, his little mate. I had already spoken to the ladies here at Golden Summit specifically about the mate bond this time, and they filled me in on what all had happened to Sabrina
since Nico, found his mate.
I was not aware that his little mate had been thrown into having her heat since she met him because he didn’t reject her. That
was on me, and I am kicking myself for not insisting that he accept her rejection, instead of wanting her to be hurt by us having s*x. I was just so f*****g angry that she was being gifted my man, that I had worked so hard to align myself with, that I wanted her to be hurt because of it. They also said that if he did have her kidnapped, and she had gone into heat, then he would be
compelled to be with her and that once they were together, the mate bond would be almost irresistible to them both.
I have to give it to him, he was smart to leave his vehicle here. My men had been waiting for him to leave to go to her since she
was taken. They told me none of them had seen him, which means he changed into his wolf and ran to her. That makes me angrier as Roan hates me. He wanted Nico to get rid of me years ago, and to focus on finding his true mate. I was so thankful he
ignored Roan and decided to keep me instead, but I guess I should actually have thanked his father for losing it after he lost his mate. It was the pain that he saw his father go through that caused him to not want his true mate and be willing to accept me to
be his Luna instead. I don’t know what had changed in him lately, but something definitely had, as he no longer loved me or
wanted to be with me like he used to. I know he loves his pack and wants what is best for them, but I can see him slipping
through my grasp, and I cannot allow it. I only want Nico as my man, sure I may get with Gary or the occasional warrior, but that is only for me to get a release, not because I love or care for any of them.
I was pulling at the last straw now. I barely got him to fall back in line the night before last and sleep with me, and when I came back from shopping last night, he was gone. His car was still there, and no one in this stupid pack knew where he had gone. Beta Jaden had been gone since yesterday morning, and he lost the guys I had tailing him.
I was trying to get a hold of her too, but I wasn’t going to have her killed. I was, at that time, just going to have her returned back to her pack, and I was sure with her return to Stone Moon that the war would then be called off. I was concerned over the threat of war, and I knew that they would make sure that she wouldn’t leave her pack ever again until I talked Nico into accepting her rejection. Then it would ALL be over. But with this latest information, I am concerned. If he IS with her, and she is in heat, he will
never willingly give her up.
I only have one more thing that I can do to salvage this relationship. I already know that if he ever realizes what I have done, he may very well kill me. I went today to get it started after speaking with the Omegas here, and one of them knew a witch who could help me get what I needed to be done. I paid her well for the information, as keeping Nico by my side is my only goal. I will be picking my potions up tomorrow and I know that it is my very last chance to be able to keep him. I have been assured that it will work by the witch and for what I was paying her, it had better, or I will have her killed myself
I took three of my men with me when I went to meet her today, as even though she is a witch, she could still be killed with a bullet. I wasn’t taking any chances of me getting killed by going there alone, I could tell as soon as she opened the door, that she knew why I was there as she asked me, “Why are you here, human? Who are you trying to trick?” She lived in a home, right in the middle of the subdivision, and it looked just like all the rest of the houses on the block. No creepy cottage, no pointed hat or long black dress. She looked like a regular suburban housewife. She took us to another room in her home while the other two men waited in the living room. I told her what was going on and she smiled as if she thought it was funny that I was willing to go this
for to keep him
“I will help you, but I want you to tell me exactly what it is that you want to be done with the spell,” she said to me.
“I want to get pregnant. I have been trying for years and we have not been successful. I also would like for you to include a spell in the potion that when Nico sees me, he sees his mate, Sabrina Morris, instead of me. I want him to smell her and to see her when he is with me. I think that may also result in my getting pregnant too. They are mates, but he already belonged to me, way before he met her. We have a contract and I think that he is trying to get out of it and will leave me if I don’t provide him with an
Shelby finds some Help
heir for his pack. I think if I can, he will let this mate madness go, and accept her rejection” I told her.
“Wait, she rejected him, and he didn’t accept it?” the witch asked me in surprise.
“I told him not to after he found her. He stayed with me, instead of taking her immediately. But I was angry that she was his mate and wanted her to suffer a little bit and feel the pain of betrayal first, so she would be totally good with rejecting him and leaving him alone. I only meant for it to go on like a week or two, but he seems to be getting more and more attracted to her, and now he has taken her, and she may be in her heat, and I am scared that I am about to lose him forever” I told her.
“I will help you, but the strength I will have to use on it is very high, and will cost extra because of it. I will tell you that the pregnancy part of it will also be strong, and I can guarantee you that you will conceive in the next week on it. The potion will last for about a week before it wears off. You will need to keep taking it, before the effects fully wear off, for optimal results,” the witch informed me.
“That is fine, just do me four potions, do all of them the same strength, to last me for the next month, and then do the order again, for next month, and I will send one of my men here to get it from you and pay you for it. Just have my next order ready three weeks from now. When will my first batch be ready?” I asked her.
“You are in luck, I am not busy today, so I should have them all ready for you tomorrow afternoon, but it will cost you $50,000 for
the four potions,” she tells me.
“That is not a problem, do you want cash? Or a Cashier’s Check? I told her and she smiled.
“Cash is best for me, I wish you the best in keeping your Alpha. I will make sure that he has as much passion when dealing with you, as he does with his mate” she said, and I don’t understand what she means. We have always had a great s*x life, and I can’t see it getting any better, but I am not going to argue with her as I need her help, and I don’t want to piss her off. She gave me her
cell number for me to be able to call her if I needed additional spells or refills made up, and we headed back to Golden Summit.
I had been to the pack doctor several times over the years and tried so many different things to help me get pregnant.
Treatments, herbs, and anything else the pack doctor could think of to allow me to get pregnant with Nico’s baby. I have not been successful for the last few years, and the pressure on me now to produce him an heir is at an incredible level, and I am so frustrated. I would have born him a child already if I could have. I would do anything, anything, for Nico to love and stay with me, for the rest of my life.
I wanted him the moment I saw him. I couldn’t believe my luck when he took me out and showed me that he wanted me to. He
was perfect and he made me so happy. I am hoping that after I get this potion back that I will make him happy again. Getting
Nico to decide that he wants me, is the only thing that is driving me on right now. He will smell her when he is with me and think that I am her. He will sleep with me and with the potion, my odds will be greatest for conception. I am praying that this will work, as I don’t know any other way to keep him. Yes, we have the contract, but I know he is making plans to get around that now after he got so mad when I told him what I was going to let my men do to his mate. When I saw how angry he got over my threat, and that he was going to make sure I got much worse myself, I knew I had lost him. If this doesn’t work, I am done, as I know it will be
a matter of time before he cuts me loose. I wanted him, not the pack, but I made the contract include them because I know he loves and cares for his pack members. I lean my head back on the headrest and look out the window. This absolutely has to work, or I will have lost the love of my life.
