The Smell of Fear 

[NIKITA]

"Why, what happened?" Nikita asked Mirella, who put a hand on her mouth like she was trying to hold back her words. 

She could tell that the man was new, and the fact that she was willingly opening up to him, had to mean that the bond that Nikita was to have with the wolves of the moonlight pack was beginning to grow stronger. 

Trust was always the foundation of any bond and right now, Mireall had a lot of that. But what if it was all misplaced and Nikita was actually more dangerous than they all thought?

"I'm sorry. You're new here and I'm already laying my burdens out to you. It's just that we know you came with the elites and they are the ones who always listen to us," Mirella said to Nikita who just nodded understandingly.
