The Bad Boy's Promises

Getting answers

Nova

Once my heat subsided, we headed to the clubhouse since my dad would be there. We might as well get my dad's anger out of the way since we have other pressing matters to discuss. It's not like wearing Kendall's clothes wouldn't piss my dad off when he saw them.

Before reaching the clubhouse, Kendall detoured me to Aunt Wren's place. When we arrived, Aunt Wren waited and ushered me upstairs to shower and change. What's the big deal? Sex was bound to happen between me and Kendall.

I showered, changed into my clothes, and noticed my hair had grown and returned to its silver color. When did that happen?

I came downstairs dressed in ripped jeans, a long-sleeved black V-neck top, and ankle boots to find Aunt Wren alone. "Where's Kendall?"

"I made him go home and shower. I don't need your dad to rip off his head," Aunt Wren said.

"Like Dad won't want to demolish Kendall when he finds out what happened?" I arched my brow and folded my arms.

"Hawk is still a father. My dad wanted to shred Ace when he found out what Ace did to me. My mom stopped him. Karma's a bitch."

I dropped my arms and rolled my eyes. "I don't want to know. Mimi and Papa are perfect. I want to keep my illusion of them until I die."

Aunt Wren snorted a laugh.

Kendall returned fresh and cleaned, wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt that hugged his body in all the right places. He arched his brow at me before telling me to curb my lust until later. It's not my fault, I want to jump him. He started this shit.

The three of us left the house and headed to the clubhouse. We headed straight to my bestie's office when we arrived and found him with my dad. Cress arched his brow at me before rolling his eyes. I smirked since he could hear my thoughts now.

My dad lifted his brow before narrowing his eyes. Within seconds, my dad had Kendall pinned against the wall by his neck. Welp, Dad figured it out. That saves me time.

I sat in a chair, folded my arms, and crossed my legs. "If you kill my mate, you kill me."

My dad growled before releasing Kendall in a huff and spinning on me. "What the fuck were you thinking, Nova?"

"It's not like I had control over my body when it became an inferno. Plus, you weren't forthcoming with the truth. Your fault."

My dad glared at me.

"I refused to have a shrivel dick geezer use me as his breeder."

Everyone's face snapped to mine while Kendall rubbed his neck and approached me.

"What are you talking about?" Cress asked, glaring at Kendall.

"You can cut the shit. Kendall told me about Alpha Larsen and his plans for me." I rolled my eyes. "I want to know how I got dragged into this stupid mess?"

They opened their mouths.

I held up my hand to stop them. "I know about the role my incubator played in everything. I'm lacking the other pieces of the puzzle."

My dad and Aunt Wren exchanged glances before my dad sat beside me and told me the truth for once. Now that the pieces were falling into place, it still didn't explain how people were smuggling illegal drugs into the clubs.

*******
Kendall

I took one hell of a chance when I marked Nova before she turned eighteen. Our laws prohibit us from marking our mates until their eighteenth birthday. That's usually when they go into heat. With Nova being a blessed wolf, the rules didn't apply.
