The Lycan Kingpin's Captive: A Baby For The Beast

Beta's Runaway Bride: 2 - Maxim

How hard can it be to find a fucking woman in a small town?! I’ve scoured all the motels, b&bs, and

hotels, but there’s no sign of Xiomara Montesino.

It’s been almost two weeks since Niko sent me out to find this woman but I had no idea where to start.

After a warrior brought me an item of Xiomara’s clothing I thought it would be easier to find her - how

fucking wrong was I?

She wanted to disappear and did a good job of it; no scent or sound of her anywhere here and even

two towns over, she was nowhere to be found.

Her sweet jasmine and lavender scent is nothing but an annoying temptation with no full-bodied woman

attached to it. I know how she looks because of a picture Niko sent and I could see the fire and

defiance in her hazel eyes. She’s no timid lamb, that’s for sure.

But damn, she’s beautiful. Even as I wanted to reject her beauty and what she would come to be once I

found her, her scent called to me and what a combination those two were.

I don’t want a wife; I don’t want to be attached to anyone. I’m fine living as a bachelor, fucking a high

society moll, and moving on. But something in Xiomara’s defiance made me want to tame her and my

wolf started taking notice.

Fuck, I’m going to need to move on after this. It’s my last night in this town, so I need to head one more

town over. Gianna said Xiomara got off in this town, so I thought I’d find her easily.

How was I to know my bride would be a sneaky vixen?

Raking my black leather gloved hand through my hair and growling, I grab my things and walk out of

the motel room, feeling more pissed off than before. Why do I have to run after a woman who doesn’t

want this any more than I do? Fuck it, I’ll tell Niko to let it go. The Gammas will have their wives and

secure those packs, I don’t need it.

He’ll be pissed off with me, but I’m done looking for this woman.

After letting Niko know I’m coming back, I walk towards my SUV and decide to grab some bottled water

on my way out of town. As I’m walking inside, I hear a commotion close to the mini-mart and the scent

of wolfsbane burns my nose.

I could walk away now and say it isn’t my problem, but since this is SilverCrest territory, that makes it

my problem. Groaning in frustration, I throw the bottled water in the SUV and stomp toward where I

hear the obvious tear of clothing.

Three punk-ass wannabe thugs are surrounding the body of a half-naked woman on the floor.

Normally, this would anger me regardless, but when the smell of jasmine and sweet lavender hits my

nose, I become murderous.

“Can any of you tell me,” I say through gritted teeth and they spin around to face me. “Why my bride is

currently being violated?”

It takes a few seconds for what I say to sink into their thick skulls and when it does; they jump away

from Xiomara’s body and take a few steps backward.

“B-Beta Maxim?” the one who ripped Xiomara’s clothes off, starts. “She’s y-yours? Uh, we didn’t know-”

I rush forward and grab him by the neck before slamming him hard against the stone wall. “Regardless

of her being mine, who gave you the fucking right to touch a woman without her consent?” I growl,

listening to him sputter.

The smell of piss makes me reel back in disgust and I throw him to the side. “Ugh, fuck sakes!” I

exclaim, stepping back. “I’m sending warriors to oversee this town; if I hear of any woman who has

been violated in the last few months, I’m coming for your heads.”

With that, they run as if the devil is chasing them, and I’m about to walk when I hear a groan. My eyes

snap to the half-naked body on the floor, pissed off at myself for nearly forgetting about her laying

there.

I shrug off my leather jacket and walk over to her, crouching down and covering her with it before

scooping her up into my arms. Pushing my anger and annoyance down, I carry her over to the SUV, This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

knowing the wolfsbane will knock her out for a while.

But I’m more annoyed at myself knowing she’s been here this entire fucking time and I never found her.

/“Found her,”/ I tell Niko over the mind link before tuning him out. I know I have to take her to my place,

but I am also aware of how pissed off she will be once she wakes up and knows I’ve managed to

capture her.

A slow smile crosses my face when I think about how she’s going to freak out and possibly try to

murder me in my sleep. My wolf smirks with anticipation because he wants to claim and conquer this

little runaway.

But how long am I going to deny that it’s not just him that wants to do it?

When I get to the estate a few hours later, I don’t head straight to the main pack house but turn left to

go to my own house. It’s further away than the Gamma’s gated complex, so it takes me about fifteen

minutes to get there.

Xiomara’s still passed out as I carry her inside. I decided to put her in one of the guest rooms instead of

my bedroom because I just literally saved her from being sexually assaulted. Opening the covers, I lay

her down and cover her again, but I leave my leather jacket over her as well.

I want my scent to be the first thing she wakes up to.

Suddenly feeling tired, I head over to my own bedroom after making sure there’s no way she can

escape again. Fuck, I need to sleep.
