Chapitre 269: The Unthinkable Bargain

[NIKITA]

"Nikita! You came for me!" Shona said excitedly as she ran in Nikita's direction, falling into Nikita's waiting spread arms. He looked so happy and anyone could see just how glad he was that the kid was okay. 

The rebels were tempted to question his relationship with the kid, but they knew he was new to the palace. 

Maybe that was going to support his claim of being the rebellious alpha female's mate, even though it was like a suicide mission. That was because if Arya didn't show up for him, he was a dead man, and no amount of convincing would free him from the Malavets.

"Of course I did, sweetheart. Tell me something, love, are you okay?" Nikita asked once he pulled away for the kid, checking her out like he wanted to see for himself. The rebels were looking at the duo and they looked uncomfortable.
