An Enemy to You (1)

In the Alpha's study, Nicholai was only staring at his laptop screen. He was sitting on the couch, the laptop resting on the center table. His hand was busy stroking Darius's head, the lesser Alpha sleeping on the mate's lap like he was waiting for Nicholai to finish his work for the night. After all, there was a lot that needed to be settled before they could fly to the Shadow Castle.

Ping! Nicholai finally received the email he was waiting for. The plant on the center table extended its stem body and created a coil to support the laptop's weight as it brought the thing closer to Nicholai. He checked it and saw good results. It was a good night.
