[HELIA]
Nikita couldn't think.
Everything that had happened hit her at once. The adamance that Haruki had all this time. The man was so insistent on going after Mikhail.
It had been so cruel and so unusual.
Nikita had only assumed it was because the man was obsessed with King Agust and wanted the mad king for himself. That the man was just another hopeless romantic, given the way that he let Agust play with him.
She had known about Haruki's infatuation with the two brothers, and when Haruki had hinted at being Valentin's mate in the past, the Helia enforcer had laughed it off.
Because to her, Haruki was just another Lycan obsessing over the mad king's twin. She had imagined that Haruki had only said that because he had wanted Agust to be jealous. Because he knew what Nikita would say to Agust.
But Nikita never said a word of that to Agust.
