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
Nicklaus was about to get inside his car when the other man suddenly spoke…“I personally came to invite you to my mansion, Nicklaus..” he blurted out when he realized that Nicklaus was being nonchalantly and was going to leave.“I didn't get to invite you the last time you were here.. Thank Goodness i was able to know about your arrival this time…” the man emphasized his words with open arms…Nicklaus glanced at him with his jade like green eyes and slowly they began turning darker..Upon realizing the situation could get outta hand if something isn't done, Elias immediately stepped forward and Said something to ease the tension…“ Sebastian…” “At your service..” the man smiled coldly..“ As you know we came here for business and I would love it if you were professional as well.” Elias impassively said.“ I…see..” the man walked towards their direction unhurriedly…“The last time you were here, someone died in our territory… It's no secret that Your Alpha brings Trouble wherever
“Come on Let's go, Alpha Nicklaus wants to meet you..” JC informed Annah and her face brightened up immediately…JC knew Annah was probably missing Nicklaus and also wanted to see him..“What about Aaliyah?” Annah asked because she knew Aaliyah would act up like a mother Hen once again..“Should I inform the Alpha you can't step out?” JC scratched the back of his head as he spoke..“No it's fine… Let's go..” Annah was actually tired of being treated like a child by Aaliyah all in the name of protecting her and other rubbish she doesn't understand…Annah walked towards the closet to pick up her coat..JC couldn't help but smile. it was the first time he'd seen such a bright smile on her face since she got here..She barely smiled and most of the smiles were either forced or stiff…Now he's starting to understand why everyone needs a mate..Annah came more lively and became talkative because she's happy..Annah stepped outta the closet with a huge black coat hiding her petite body with
Nicklaus couldn't control himself and the more he tried to control himself the harder it became for him to breathe..Annah was still in a daze when he suddenly claimed her soft lips in his again… He bit down on her bottom lip and this made her groan Granting him access to his mouth..He slides in his tongue into the depths of her mouth and slowly Annah finds herself responding to his kiss..She closed her eyes and tried not to think about anything else and just go with the flow..Nicklaus kissed her till she couldn't breathe properly..He pulled away reluctantly.They were panting heavily as they stared at each other..Annah felt thousands butterfly inside her stomach as she stared at him with her mouth agape..“I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself..” He whispered with a hoarse voice…Nicklaus was someone who could control himself with restraint but when it comes to this little woman, even a single bit of rationality is thrown out the window…“It…its….” Annah shuttered, unable to form
