"I won't hesitate to kill you should anything happen to her!" Christopher barked as his Golden eyes turned red with anger..However the stranger chuckled heartily as he stared at Christopher with eyes filled with nothing but ridicule..."You can't kill what's not alive, my friend.." he tilted his head as he scrutinized Christopher with an amused expression...Christopher clenched his jaw tightly as his veins bulged out with pressure.."I know Nicklaus was here with his mate... Can you tell everything I need to know?" "Do you really think Nicklaus will ever have a mate? The Greys are being condescended to never have a mate.." Christopher scornfully said."Oh dear, you know nothing about the ways of the guardian.." the man lazily walked towards Christopher but didn't try to attack him.."She's quite fickle..." "She's indeed his mate.." Lillard suddenly spoke up after being silent for sometime.."What did you say?" Christopher suddenly retracted his claws as he stared at his brother
Nicklaus admitted he'd brought her along with him to various places because he stubbornly didn't wanna leave her alone...Did she fall sick due to exhaustion?Nicklaus barely interacted with humans until it had to do with business as he was always surrounded by his own people..Hence he didn't really understand how strong the human body was.Of course it would be different from those creatures that he knew..He'd been very strict and selective about any food that Annah consumed, he only gave the best and tried not to tire her out..However Annah never complained that she felt something wrong with her body or there were indications that she was sick and then she suddenly fell unconscious with a burning fever..Nicklaus placed his cold palm on her forehead, the heat stung his skin but it felt nice on Annah as she fluttered her eyes open.."You're awake...." Nicklaus's voice was laced with relief as he stared at her puzzled look...And then she spoke..."Nicklaus.....it hurts...." Her me
Aaliyah was the last pure scarlet witch alive..."Did you come willingly or because I'd someone look for you?" Elias swiftly changed the topic before both sisters got into a fight."You mean that pathetic wolf?" Aaliyah clicked her tongue.."You should go pick him up in the dark forest... Sending such a loser after me was a mistake, you know?" She nonchalantly spoke.."What did you do to him?" Raphael asked.. Based on his encounter with Celine, no one would end up in a good shape if they managed to get on the bad side of a witch.."Nothing...." Aaliyah shrugged her shoulders while grinning from ear to ear..However, nothing meant everything..The wolf would definitely be in some trouble.."Leave..." Nicklaus growled..He was irritated with their noise...Upon hearing the irrigation in Nicklaus's voice, Elias quickly ushered Raphael and Celine outta the ward while mumbling to the Gamma.."We need to send someone to go get Stephan.." After the soft click that indicates it was only t
It took Aaliyah awhile to convince Nicklaus, she was put to sleep so she could recuperate faster and Nicklaus didn't have any choice but to believe her...Since Aaliyah said the shifter's presence didn't help Annah with her recuperation Nicklaus forbade everyone from coming close to her ward....He specifically hired human bodyguards to guard her ward.Elias and Raphael were no exception.However, Nicklaus couldn't really leave her alone, therefore most of the time he would stare at her from the furthest part of the room which was the best he could do.Moreover, Aaliyah said it wasn't really necessary for him to completely stay away from her."Where will you bring her?" Nicklaus stood beside Aaliyah while staring at the nurse who was checking Annah's IV drip.He had come to terms with the fact that Aaliyah was the only one who could help his little woman..He didn't want something bad to happen to her, he could only accept her condition now that his presence could possibly harm her...
"What's on your mind?" Nicklaus trailed his thumb on her beautiful eyes as she stared at him absentmindedly.Nicklaus was currently cuddling, lying down with her on the couch by the floor to ceiling window while staring at the drizzle rain outside, fogging their view from the city below.It was around 2;45pm in the afternoon but the gloomy cloud didn't let a ray of sunlight pierce through.Thunder and lightning appeared at the furthest side of the sky, behind a tall building giving an ominous feeling..Annah curled up in his comfort while he adjusted the blanket around her..It was the moment Nicklaus hoped time would stop for a while and let him relish his mate's presence for a bit longer..Nothing else matters to him. He'd instructed Elias to take care of things involving the hostile takeover of the dragon shifter's properties..Annah used his arm as a pillow while Nicklaus played with her hair, one of the things he loved doing whenever he was around her..."I haven't seen Elias and
And just when she thought she was free from that place, she'd to return...How cruel could that be?"I'm scared..." She truthfully said as her voice trembled in fear..."You don't have to.... I'll always be by your side..." Her raspy voice echoed inside Nicklaus's ears, reverberating his being......The day until Annah's departure was uneventful, Nicklaus kept her company in every way he could.Also Aaliyah didn't speak that much to Annah and would only speak when it's necessary..She'd always been like that since the very first time they'd met...Annah has gotten used to being ignored by people and had experienced something worse so it really didn't bother her....However on the day of her departure, Nicklaus couldn't accompany her to the airport because Aaliyah was adamant to not let him come close to her....She'd a strong argument for that though..."I can't believe you wanna announce to the whole world that she's your mate! That she's leaving your territory and entering the enem
"Answer me!" Aaliyah ordered Annah sternly.."Understood..." Annah's voice was barely a whisper as she answered the witch as tears of fear rolled down her cheeks.Looking at her tears, Aaliyah scorned with derision, "is that the only thing you can do?" She raised her eyebrows in amusement."Do you think those tears can stop them from killing you?" Annah wasn't sure who Aaliyah was referring to but she was certain they're the same creatures who have been trying to kill her."Do you think you can survive this place when you can't even raise your head to look at me! This isn't your mad mate's territory!" "Do you think Nicklaus would always be there to save you?" Aaliyah's words were like millions of needles piercing her skin but sadly it's the truth...Even though Aaliyah was telling the truth, Annah still felt like she was being rude...Annah needed time to overcome her demons and knowing she'd to return to her own nightmare didn't help her case at all.."Don't wait for some knight i
Annah sat down on the couch while waiting for JC to retrieve the keys to their unit, Aaliyah was sitting next to her ..She was staring at her phone disappointedly. She would never be able to receive Nicklaus's calls for the time being because a certain someone threw away her sim card before they got to the hotel..Nicklaus called earlier but had to call Aaliyah's phone instead of calling her directly.Ten minutes later,JC finally finished with his flattering words and got the keys to their unit for them.He winked at the receptionist lady before turning to Annah and Aaliyah."Let's go check out your apartment." He reached out his hand to help Annah carry her luggage but she shook her head and mouthed 'its okay'JC smiled softly and carried her backpack instead, there was one porter who followed them to their flat, pushed the trolley to carry all their belongings.Their flat was on the eleventh floor, there were four doors that led to different flats, Aaliyah and Annah got flat number
