Volkov's Mate

Chapter Seven: What's Rightfully His

This is a filler chapter. My apologies.

"Fuck," Angela yelled out, exasperated.

"Shh, get dressed," Nikolai said sharply as he got up.

He leaned behind her to untie her wrists, noticing that she was shaking.

"Are you scared?"

"Yes."

He merely blinked at her response. He wasn't going to lie to her and say he wasn't just as nervous. Nothing good was going to ensue when he opened the door. He walked over to it, checking back to make sure Angela was clothed. He grasped the doorknob, taking notice of his claws. The knocking continued, louder and harder. Nikolai thrust open the door.

His body was shoved up against the door with such force the wood split. Two men stalked towards Angela, the other two were restraining NIkolai. They shared a similar scent. Nikolai realized they were probably related. Which means her father probably knows his daughter is in the forbidden presence of her mate.

"What the hell, Alejandro" Angela yelled angrily. "Que quieres?"

"Papa te quieres en la casa ahora. Tu no debe estar en su presencia."

"Si," her other brother said, taking his sister by the arm and dragging her across the room. "You, Volkov. Keep away, we both know she's not ready."

He ushered his sister past Nikolai, she reached out to his face but her hand was slapped away immediately. She struggles against her brother, although she was no match to his large build. "You're just gonna let them take me! Please, Nikolai-" The door slammed behind her.

Nikolai stood against the wall too furious to move. His fists were clenched so tightly his claws were drawing blood. His eyebrow physically hurt from the amount of time they furrowed. He stood that way for what seemed like hours before finally moving across the room to grab his phone.

A groggy Alpha Pierce answered Nikolai's call. "Hello?"

"Keep tabs on Angela. She's Emiliano's daughter."

"Umm, why, Nikolai?"

"Her brothers just stopped by and took her."

"She was at your hotel room," Alpha Pierce said, more alert. "Why shitstorm just happened?"

"She was the one that found me. She was in heat and-"

"No, no, no."

"No. I resisted. Fuck, I've never wanted to so badly before."

"Welcome to matehood my friend."

NIkolai half heartedly laughed. "Her brothers took her. They said it was her father's orders. She's not going to be anywhere near me anytime soon. I don't even have her cellphone number."

"Since when have you used your phone for texting anyone other than me?"

"I never had anyone else," NIkolai growled. "Do what I ask. Please."

"I'll see if Poppy or Daisy can help."

"Who?"

"My two daughters. Nikolai you saw them tonight! Well technically yesterday, but they are my middle children. Remember? They're nineteen and fifteen. They're close enough in age to have probably met her. Actually, I think that Daisy has hung around Emiliano's kid a couple times. At this Alpha's daughter convention or something," he laughed.

"Yeah, yeah. Just have her call me. I would rather talk to her personally."

"Okay but it'll have to wait until later today. When it's not midnight."

Nikolai scoffed. "She's probably up still, she's a teenager."

"Fine I'll check. If she's awake I'll have her call you. Good-bye."

Nikolai flopped down on the bed. He inhaled the residue of her scent. He immediately felt a tightening in his pants. Her normal scent was enhanced by the pheromones of her heat. He was ripped out of an intense fantasy by his phone ringing.

"Yes?"

"Hi," Daisy said hesitantly. Her voice was high pitched. "You want to know about Angela del Olmo?"

"Yes. Do you have her phone number?"

"I have a friend of hers but not her actual one. It's her cousin Maria. She's my age so Angela doesn't include her in her everyday life. But she's the only other girl in the house other than their mothers so they are forced to like, be together is the best way to phrase it."

"Would she pass along messages for me to Angela?"

"I'll have to ask, hold on."

"No," Nikolai said sternly. "Based on what you know about her... is she trustworthy to keep secrets?"

"Well, yeah I think. She hates Angela's brothers."

"Okay. Contact Maria. If she's your age she was surely at the gala. Tell her to go over your hotel tomorrow. And if she can, bring Angela. Got it?"

"Yes," She squeaked.

Nikolai hung up. He needed to devise a plan to steal Angela away- to claim what was rightfully his.
