Chapter 30: Bested

NIKOLAI’S POV 

 

 

I had been bested by Ivan and Anton. Never in my wildest dreams had I been bested by two humans. How? I staggered to the bathroom and cleaned up. I walked back into the private room just as Vidam walked in. 

 

 

“My Lord, the car is ready to leave,” he announced but his eyes widened at the fact that I was tying my disheveled hear back into a ponytail.

 

 

“Let us go,” I instructed and left the office.

 

 

The ride home was a quiet one. When I stepped inside, I hurriedly rushed upstairs to take a shower. The cold water hit my back as I stood under the stream, cursing at Ivan. I knew that he was the one behind the plan. There was no way Anton would have been smart enough to come up with such an idea. 

 

 

“F*ck!” I yelled at myself as I got out of the shower and walked to the large closet to get dressed in my pajamas. 

 

 

A knock on the door told me that Vidam was here to bring fresh blood. 

 

 

“Come in,” I responded.
