Free Niklosi's Nightmare (First Wave Book 10) by Mikayla Lane

don’t you worry none about
her, BJ and Mojo are very good at what they do.”
    Nik pulled his gaze from BJ and
looked into his coffee cup, a little embarrassed at being caught staring at the
beautiful cop again.
    He should have noticed the resemblance
between Mojo and BJ the moment he saw them together. They had the high, elegant
cheek bones of their beautiful mother, and her full, pouty lips. Their skin was
lighter than hers—more like his smooth, coffee-with-cream complexion—and they
had the exact same unusual hazel eyes of their mother. They were a beautiful
family.
    Bess laughed and brought Nik out of
his thoughts.
    “When you decide to face your
destiny on your feet instead allowing fear to keep you on your knees, I will
answer your questions,” Bess told Nik cryptically.
    Traze raised an eyebrow at Nik and
made a comical face denoting his curiosity. Nik flipped him off and sipped his
coffee as he went back to staring at the beautiful cop and her brother.
    BJ pulled the light around them and
put forth the first scenario and allowed the future scene to unfold before her
and Mojo. While she paid attention to specific details of the event, Mojo would
study a different set of details, giving them more information to share
regarding each event.
    When one scene completed, she or
Mojo would put forth another scenario and another vision would unfold in their
minds. The twin siblings then manipulated the possibilities until they finally
shook themselves from the power and blinked at their mother.
    “What did you see?” Bess asked as
she handed each of her children a cup of coffee and a cookie.
    “We’re going to need everyone,
including them at some point,” Mojo told his mother as he gestured to Nik and
Traze.
    BJ took the mug in shaky hands and
shook her head at the cookie her mother tried to hand her.
    Bess only smiled at the news.
    “It stands to reason that we would
need one another at the crossroad we face. I believe we should wait for Grai
and our council to arrive before discussing our options,” Bess suggested as she
took Nik’s empty cup from his stiff fingers.
    Traze was going to ask Nik when
Grai would arrive when Bess turned to him and winked.
    “In five more minutes. Six if he
stops to speak with your pilot hovering above us first,” Bess said and chuckled
when Traze turned white.
    “She’s fucking creepy!” Traze
whispered loudly to Nik.
    “Hey, watch your mouth, that’s my
momma!” Mojo growled at Traze as he sat straighter in his chair.
    “If you guys know what’s going to
happen, why the hell didn’t you know we were coming?” Traze countered, not sure
if he believed they were telling the truth about their gift.
    He’d seen an awful lot of amazing
talents among the hybrids, but these people were just creepy as hell, and he
wanted to be done and out of there as fast as they could get it done.
    “Why?” Mojo asked with a shrug.
“Most of the beauty of life comes from the surprises every day. We only use it
when we need to.”
    “It also doesn’t work that way,” BJ
added. “We can’t see everything, and things for personal gain or success won’t
work. We looked at what would save your people and our people, not what would
save us in order to see anything.”
    “Wait,” Nik said with a shake of
his head. He was confused. “So you have a plan that will save everyone but the
two of you? How the hell does that help?”
    BJ blushed a little at the concern
and vehemence that Nik displayed for her well-being, but mate or not, she had a
job to do, and she would do it. Their community was counting on them.
    “We’ll be fine. We can see
ourselves in the scenarios even if we don’t go into it asking what happens to
us. We’ll be right beside you through this; we have to be in order for this to
work,” BJ assured him.
    Somehow her assurances didn’t make
Niklosi feel any better about the situation.
    Traze’s mouth hung open in shock
when six minutes passed and Grai, Blade, and
