Chapter 55
Masking her scent and moving into the pack invisible.
She went into the pack house and headed directly towards the top floor where she knew Nicole would be.
She entered the room discreetly and met a sleeping Nicole.
She sat down on a rocking chair showing her silhouette because the room had some faint light in it.

“No, please don’t kill me.”
“Please don’t come closer.”
“I’m sorry, please, don’t kill me.”
“Ahhhrgghhh!!!” Nicole screamed and jerked up.
She has been having nightmares about Ciara killing her. Even the potions and spells Melissa gave for her did little or nothing to help her.
She looked around and saw a silhouette.
She screamed.
“Who… who is there?” She asked fearfully.
“Who??!!” She shouted thinking that the pack members would hear her and come to her aid.
“I said who is there? I swear I am gonna scream so loud that the pack members are going to hear.” Nicole said.
She was scared thinking it was Ciara’s ghost the had come to haunt her.
Then slowly, Ciara stepped out of the chair and came face to face with Nicole.
A smirk crept on Ciara’s lips when she said the facial expression of Nicole.
“Hi.” Ciara said still smirking.
“Who… who are you?” Nicole asked.
“Oh… you can’t recognise me because of my new face, really sorry about that.” Ciara said and looking at her.
“By the way, I go by the name Ciara.” Ciara said with a glint of evil.
“You… You… You.” Nicole stuttered.
“Impossible, you can’t be alive… I… I killed you.”Nicole said.
She was tongue tied and dumbfounded. She started slapping herself trying to wake up from this dream.
“And that is where you got it all wrong, all you do was give me some kicks and threw in to the ocean.” Ciara said.
Ciara was the least of persons she wanted to see again.
“You are truly alive?” Nicole asked.
“Yeah, surprised?” Ciara asked.
Nicole gulped dryly.
“How is it possible?” Nicole asked.
“I don’t know either.” Ciara said.
“Melissa… Melissa… Where are you?” She was really scared right now.
“Ohh.. Her name is actually Melissa, I already sent her to her mom.” Ciara said and shrugged.
“Mom?” Nicole asked.
“But she did not tell me she had a mom.” Nicole said.
“See Nicole, I am not in for any conversation, I was given a mission.” Ciara said.
“Mission to do what?” Nicole asked.
“Kill you.” Ciara smirked.
Nicole gulped down dryly and dabbed off the beads of sweat that was starting to form on her forehead. She was feeling hot inside and cold outside.
“Ki-kill m-me.” Nicole stuttered.
Ciara burst into a fit of laughter because of her facial expression.
“So you are afraid to die.” Ciara said amidst laughing.
“Actually I was told to kidnap you.” She said and looked serious all of a sudden, this made Nicole cringe and got even more scared.
“Kidnap me?, who sent you? I will give you the double of the amount he gave to you, please don’t do it.” Nicole said fearfully.
“I am not interested in your money, he already given me the deal so I must fulfill my part too.” Ciara said.
“But before we leave, I will love to tell you about the past the involved the death of out parents.” Ciara said.
She wanted to make things clear. They should stop the unnecessary blame on her.
She turned on the light completely and Nicole was shocked to see how pretty Ciara had become.
“Like what you see?” Ciara said smirking.
Nicole looked away instantly.
“As you know at that time, rouge attacks were becoming incessant on our pack. Your father who was the Alpha was so busy trying to make sure that our borders were safe and secured. And that the guards were always on patrol.”
“Your mother had asked me to persuade your dad to take some time off work and rest because she had tried convincing him but he did not give in as he said that his pack was his top priority. At first I refused to go but later gave in.”
“So apparently it was your mother’s idea that led their death.” Ciara shouted. She was getting angry. She just felt like crying but not now.
“My mother, father and my unborn sibling deaths were all your mother’s doing yet you blamed it all on me.” She said as she hit her hand on the desk beside her.
Nicole flinched and started crying.
“You… You guys did not let me give an explanation for the incident, you went straight to punishing me.” Ciara said following it with a dry laugh.
“You even….” She laughed as remembered it.
“You even rejected your own mate and asked a witch to strengthen your mate bond with him.” Ciara said and looked at her.
“You knew the consequence of what of you wanted to do yet you did it.” She said as she brought out a bottle of potion.
“Wh– What is that? Nicole stuttered with fear.
“Oh… You mean this… This is a potion for breaking bonds.” Ciara said.
“What do you want to use for?” Nicole asked.
“To break bond.” Ciara said and shrugged.
She came across the spell in an old book but Layla was quick to snatch it away from her. She had warned her never to touch it again, that it is forbidden.
“When I came inside, I looked at your mark then i caught a whiff of energy barrier on it.”
“Like what is an energy barrier doing on a mark unless it is used to strengthen the bond.” She said looking at her intently.
“You are disgusting.” Ciara said and started going towards her.
“No… Don’t come closer… Stop… I said stop… Don’t come… Stop.” Nicole said throwing everything towards Ciara.
“Just stay quietly and calm down.” Ciara said.
“Stay… Stay… Stay there.” Nicole said.
“Help!!!!!.” Nicole screamed out in fear and started thrashing around.
At this time Ciara already gotten to her on the bed.
“There’s not really any need to scream, I already cast a soundproof spell on the room so no one… Absolutely no one can hear us.” Ciara said with an evil smirk.
“Just calm down and it won’t hurt.” She said as she moved closer to her on the bed.
“Please don’t do it.” Nicole cried. She suddenly felt rigid- she could not move.
Ciara had used a spell on her.
“You would be Mateless forever.” Ciara said in an haunting tone.
“You were so greedy that you forced yourself on him but what did you gain.” Ciara said.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Nothing, absolutely nothing.” She said.
“In case you do not know, Damien is my mate.” Ciara said finally.
“Bye.” Ciara said as she poured the potion on Nicole’s mark. Nicole screamed out in pain and passed out.
Ciara shook her head and sighed.
“Gotta carry her now.” She said as she lifted her on her shoulder.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
