Chapter forty eight: flirt and drop"That reminds me." Kai said and turned to Nicolas. "How did you recognize her on the first day?"Nicolas thought about it, his index finger tapping his chin. How did he recognize Karen? When she walked into that room it was just like he knew. He recognized that smile, he recognized the way she carried herself. She had always carried herself like a princess. Even though she looked nothing like the Karen he knew, with her short black hair and brown eyes, he knew it had to be her.He shrugged. "I don't know, I just did." He smiled coyly and looked at Kai. "What, you didn't remember her?"Kai glaring at him told him all he needed to know. Nicolas laughed softly. "That's interesting." He said. Kai sighed. It was interesting. He had no idea that was Karen, the Karen he knew till he had sent her out and felt the mating bond tug in his chest. She hadn't accepted his rejection yet. Why?And to think that she was in the human world all this while. And whil
Chapter forty nine: breatheKaren looked at the huge pile of work she had to do and she felt her heart drop into her chest. It was only the next day. She had gone to see Kai at the end of the work day and returned with an impossible amount of work to be done.According to him, since he bought the company he hadn't been to it in person. So now Karen had to take care of a backlog of work dating four years back.For the first time ever, she had to stay back after work to try and cut down the work load. Her phone rang and she saw the caller ID as Beulah. "You're just who I was thinking of." She said with a relieved sigh."What's wrong babe?" Beulah asked. "I got a call from the school and they said you aren't here yet. It's two hours past closing time.""I'm so sorry," Karen said, hanging her phone on her shoulder as she packed the enormous paper work and dumped it on the ground to free up more space on her desk. "I got swamped with work all of a sudden. Is David with you?""Yeah," Beu
Chapter fifty: break me"This is my one and only nanny, the one who raised me while mama was chasing dollar bills, the one and only woman I would gladly give my life for. The....""Miss please, I'm not all those things."Karen rolled her eyes. Typical Beulah. "Please stop, you're making her uncomfortable." Karen said. The nanny was a woman in her mid fifties. She was tall and had entirely gray hair and kind blue eyes. She had a gentle smile on her face. Karen could feel her aura, and she felt relieved. This woman was one of the best left."Uncomfortable?" Beulah scoffed. "Please. She changed my diapers. How much more uncomfortable can that be?"Karen laughed. "You're gross."Beulah rolled her eyes. "Whatever. This is Amanda. Amanda, this is Karen my sister from another mother I don't know about."Amanda extended her hand to Karen. Karen shook her hand noting to herself how firm her handshake was. She also didn't miss how the woman looked at her with squinted eyes. "You have such a l
Chapter fifty one: revenge back The proposal event was only the tip of the iceberg of drama for the day. There was a meeting Kai had to attend. And for some twisted reason he wanted her to attend it with him. "But...I'm not your assistant." Karen tried to protest. She didn't know what he was up to now, it was so hard to read him."You're coming with me and that's final." He said simply. "You have fifteen minutes to meet me in the conference hall on the seventh floor."The seventh floor conference room was reserved for very confidential meetings and discussions. Karen had prior to this moment wondered what kind of discussions took place in that place. And today she was going to be part of it. On a normal day she would have felt elated. But being forced to attend it didn't count. So she only felt nothing.Fifteen minutes later she was in the conference hall. It was then she understood what kind of meetings took place here. Everyone in attendance was one of their kind, a werewolf.
Chapter fifty two: a taste of life"Oh my goodness!" Sonia gasped, clamping her hands over her mouth. "Who is this goddess that has graced our humble walls?"Karen smiled and do a graceful spin. "The goddess of life and happiness herself, Karen Osborne."Sonia giggled. "You look stunning."Karen looked down at her outfit. "Thank you Sonia."She felt brand new. She felt like a different person. She had swapped out her dyed black hair for her natural color. She had also taken the contacts out permanently. She noticed the black color made her more mature, but she was glad to be back to her original color. To her surprise, the work day went smoothly without Kai or Nicolas showing up and ruining it for her. The Moment she believed all was well, Nicolas showed up. "Wow, " He breathed. "What a change.""What is it?" Karen sighed, folding her arms. "Here," He handed her an envelope. She opened it and took out the card inside. It was the address if a very famous restaurant in the area."Wh
Chapter fifty three: pain and more headaches"Karen..." The way he said her name made her stomach fill with butterflies. She felt his desire for her pressing against her naked thigh, hard and hot even through his clothes. She whined softly, grinding agsint his leg in an attempt for friction.His lips moved from her throat to her neck, sucking hard on her spot.Karen sighed, her eyes fluttering shut in bliss. Kai sucked on the sensitive spot on her neck, the feeling making her grow wet by the second. His scent swirled all around her, he smelled clean and fresh, like the ocean after a rain. Karen held onto him, her fingers fisting into his long hair and tugging.She felt the table on her back, his hands trying to lodge her off him and onto the table. Dread filled her inside as she remembered the last time he had taken her, bent over a table.Her eyes flew open and she pushed him away from her. He breaths began to come out hard and fast,her chest rising rapidly. She stared at him, her ey
Chapter fifty four: resistanceThe only sounds Karen could hear were the sound of her nails on her keyboard.The next day had come around like nothing happened and Karen was determined to keep it that way. Just like nothing happened. On her way to get office she had bumped into Nicolas. and all she could see was him and Verena giving each other love eyes. It disgusted Karen. She types even more furiously. So many things got on her nerves of late. "Hello Karen," a voice drew her from her thoughts. Her head whipped to see Jasper. "Hello Jasper." She replied. She noticed his tie. "I like the new tie."He looked down at his tie, a shy smile on his face. "Oh thank you." He fiddled with it. "I got it after you said you liked patterns"Karen raised a brow. "That's ..very sweet of you."He blushed. "I um...yeah.. it is."Karen looked at him closely. In all honesty he wasn't a bad looking man. He was tall and had a slender build. His eyes were kind and he had a charming face in a high sch
Chapter fifty five: dinner with the enemyKaren sat across from Jasper, listening to stories of his childhood and all she could think about was Kai dragging her to the private room, about to ravage her in a way only he could.For goodness sake, it had to be even the same restaurant! It seemed like fate was playing games with her. Karen remembered he was talking so she smiled and drank some of her white wine. "You were a crazy kid growing up huh?" She said with a forced smile.Jasper laughed. "That and more. I was the terror of the house. How about you? Were you a good child?"Karen shook her head. "I don't remember most of my childhood. " Lies. Her childhood was too painful to recount. And she didn't ever want to tell anyone that story."How about your parents?" Jasper asked softly. He looked down at her plate. "You haven't eaten anything. Is the food not to your liking?"Karen shook her head. she squeezed her thighs together, her head filled with images of Kai. Kai and his stupidly
