"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
Annah was stunned by his words as she raised her head to stare at him..“Are you doing this because you're trying to make me happy?” Annah couldn't help but feel sad but Nick cupoed her face and looked down at her lovingly..“ Of course I've always wanted to marry you, My love.. you carrying our child doesn't make it any different, what Matters is that I love you so much and would always do anything to make you happy always..” Nicklaus planted a kiss on her forehead and her nostrils and lastly her lips in an attempt to make her calm down..“I love you too, Nick..” she mumbled as she hugged him tightly and planted a kiss on his name..“I love you more, Kitty..” He chuckled lightly as he stroked her hair gently..“Can we go home now? Everyone is waiting..” Nick reminded and she nodded meekly..Is it the pregnancy or she starting to act like a child?Nicklaus took her outta the ward and all the way to the car before driving her back to the mansion where everyone was waiting to hear the
Two months later, Nicklaus and everyone else were moving back to Luxembourg on his private jets..He sat down beside Annah who was busy staring out the window with an awe expression…The view from up there was indeed Beautiful and she wasn't gonna miss out on it..“Hey, you should take a nap… You've been staring out the window for hours..” Nicklaus who seems to be working on his Laptop spoke …His one hand was entwined with hers while his other hand was moving effortlessly around the keyboard..Nicklaus had been paying extra attention to her and was basically treating her like a fragile egg.“I'm fine, just a bit nauseous..” Annah mumbled with a smile on her face but she saw that he wasn't buying her excuse, she brought their entwined hands to her lips and planted a kiss..“Come on, Annaj don't be Stubborn..” Nicklaus wasn't gonna take no for an answer and eventually Annah decided to take a nap and rested her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed but Nicklaus had other ideas as h
It's a known fact that Nicklaus and Annah can't seem to keep their hands to themselves..Nicklaus always wanted her and maybe it was because he'd been deprived for too long..After their heated session in the lake, they both enjoyed the lake water for quite some time before getting outta the water.Nicklaus decided to take her around the forest seeing how curious she was to the other side of the forest..Nicklaus had entwined their hands as they went through the woods..“It's so spooky out here.” Annah mumbled as they both walked towards the woods in silence..The only sound that could be heard was that of birds chirping..“Are you scared?” He raised a curious eyebrow and she shook her head negatively but of course deep down she was scared…“What's there to be scared of? It's not like there's some ghost residing in the woods..” She mumbled and he chuckled lightly..“You shouldn't be scared when you've me.. I'm all yours remember?” He made a cute face that made her giggle and when she
Raphael sat down by the balcony of his room with a canvas in front of him as he moved the strokes of his brush gently against the canvas…He seemed to be lost in thoughts as he tried to perfect his drawing..Even though it looked like he was staring intensely at the painting, he wasn't really paying attention to whatever he was painting..“What do you want?” He spoke without raising his head and the woman who'd been standing by the door with a guilty expression, walked towards him with a fruit basket…“I heard you got sick, are you okay?” Celine asked but he simply kept his eyes on the canvas and this action made her sad..“As you can see I'm fine..” He nonchalantly spoke and she kept the fruit basket on the bedside table..She wouldn't be able to forget herself should anything happen to him which was a result of her selfishness..“I'm sorry… I was trying to think for myself that I also failed to realize that you're also going through alot.. Can you please forgive me?” Raphael of cou
“What the hell happened to you?” Elias who'd just arrived at the forest entrance asked and tried to help him back to the mansion..“it's happening..” Raphael coughed out more blood as Elias took him back to the mansion..He was taken to his room and was placed on the bed by Elias before helping him wipe away the blood stains on his lips and nose..Elias had also mind linked the Alpha and informed him About the situation..It didn't take long for Nicklaus to come looking for them..“Is there another way around this, Alpha Nicklaus?”Elias was worried about Raphael but of course Raphael being Raphael got outta the bed like nothing had happened to him…“I'm fine..” He calmly said and walked towards the coffee table and picked up the bottle of water without any help..“There might be another way around this but it's not gonna be an easy one..” Nicklaus of course knew the other way around marking someone intentionally but unfortunately for Raph this woman is bound to be his mate and tryin
After feeding her, he gave her something to ease the pain she felt all over her body while the other one he had to apply on her private area..“Are you really gonna do it yourself?” Annah asked while trying to hide the faint blush on her cheeks..Nicklaus of course nodded with a serious expression.“It's gonna help with the pain down there.” He pointed at her legs and Annah bit down on her lips and nodded in understanding..Nicklaus crouched down in front of her with a soothing gel in his hand..“open your legs..” he calmly said and she slowly spread her and began rubbing the soothing gel against her kitty..Annah tried not to act affected as he rubbed his fingers all over her kitty entrance with a serious expression plastered on his face..“All done..” He said and stood up before keeping the soothing gel aside and tucked her under the sheets..“ I'm not a child you know?” Annah decided to remind him to stop treating her like a kid..“You look like one.” Nicklaus flicked her nose and
“What are you thinking about, love?” Annah turned around immediately and found Nicklaus standing so close to her she could feel his hot breath Fanning against her face..“You..” Annah unconsciously answered and quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment when she realized what she'd said and this made him laugh..He planted a kiss on her palm and took it away from her mouth and replaced it with his lips..Annah of course welcomed his lips and wrapped her hands around his neck tightly as he kissed her slowly yet steadily..He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his slim waist while he walked back to his desk and pushed off everything on it and placed her on the desk without breaking away from her..He bit her bottom lip and a moan escaped her lips granting him access to the depths of her mouth.. Annah was having a hard time keeping up with his fiery kisses..He planted kisses all over her face and down to her neck before lifting her up once again and walked outta the study w
“Are you avoiding me?” Celine almost flinched backwards when she heard Raphael's voice just beside her.“ I don't know what you're talking about.”Celine cleared her throat and hurried towards her apartment but Raphael beat her to it by standing by the door blocking her path.“Oh come on, Celine, you've been avoiding me since last night.. We haven't had a chance to talk. Can you atleast listen to me?” He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration..Last night he'd let his beast take control and this led to him marking her, even though he doesn't really regret any bit of it he still felt like he needed to talk to her Celine about it because it felt like she wasn't ready for any of that …Raphael has to feel the same way as him Else he might actually die from Bonding with the wrong person..Celine heaved a sigh and decided to listen to him anyway.“Let's go inside.” She said and invited him into her home..Raphael had been to this apartment several times and of course he couldn't
He gulped down a non existent saliva as he tried to control himself.. Nicklaus was someone who could control himself but here he was struggling to keep his beast from devouring his little woman…He moved back to a standing position and she turned around and stared at him with the most dazzling eyes ever..He was momentarily stunned and didn't even know what to say when she suddenly trailed her fingers around his zipper and unzipped it..He stared down and noticed she'd taken off his pants and he couldn't bring himself to say no..She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the bathtub without saying a word to him..Annah was slowly turning into a badass even though there were still traces of shyness in her eyes..It only means she badly wanted to do it just as he also wanted to do it..Nick got in the tub first and made her sit between his legs…His little brother was of course going through a lot of pain but he kept begging it to not wake From his slumber..Annah heaved a sigh of sa
