Annah smiled and turned back to enjoying the view when the door was pulled open and a young brunette with a spell blinding smile and overly short skirt walked inside the office holding a tray with two coffees on top...Her smile slightly faded when she saw Annah's back view...Is that the young girl from the news?The secretary was dazed and didn't know what to think..Earlier today the reporters suddenly released news about Nicklaus which surprised everyone because Nicklaus rarely appeared in the spotlight..It became a trending topic immediately and there were so many hashtags related to the news..Most people didn't know Nicklaus that well because he was a mysterious man that stayed away from the spotlight..The rumors about Nicklaus having an affair with his secretary who was a minor could start a ruckus not to mention it was a minor he dated...The article had raised a furor among the business world and socialites.The people were already asking questions and also making assumpti
"Are you sure she's gonna be fine being in front of those old men?" Elias stood In Front of the board room with a concerned expression..."She'll be fine.." Nicklaus assured him..The moment the door was opened, a rowdy conversation which was going on inside could be heard..A few shareholders were displeased with Nicklaus and were having a wave of heart...Time is money in the business world and Nicklaus always arrived at a meeting late, his actions were considered rude and unacceptable but they didn't dare complain about it because he was more like a tickling bomb..Nicklaus was late deliberately and all of them knew this thanks to Elias..He was undoubtedly overbearing and rude.The twenty upset people were ready to rebuke the young President about his rudeness, despite the fact that he had the biggest share his age was still far below them or so they thought. They assumed that being young was equal to being inexperienced so it was necessary for Nicklaus to show a little bit of r
After Nicklaus took care of the shareholders, he brought Annah to dinner.The restaurant was located on the roof side of imperial High mall, very famous among socialites, the wait-list could take months..However, Nicklaus was a major shareholder at Imperial city and didn't need to go through the waitlist, he could waltz in there whenever he wanted..The VVIP booth with the best view of the city belongs to him exclusively.Just like Annah thought, Nicklaus was indeed fond of views such as this..Either it was in his bedroom, his office and now this restaurant. Nicklaus only chooses Restaurants with the best view where he could be able to observe his surroundings...The VVIP booth was cozy and screamed luxury, there was a glass door that led them to an open area but due to the weather, Nicklaus made sure the doors were shut so his fragile little woman wouldn't get cold.."It's rather too windy, I don't want you freezing." Nicklaus answered the unspoken question in Annah's eyes that wer
"Everything would be alright."while chanting those words, Annah pushed open the door that led her to the stairs..She couldn't take the elevator alone as she has a mild claustrophobia.Nicklaus always took the elevator with her so she always felt comforted but now she was all alone and didn't wanna be in a narrow space because spaces like that would make her uncomfortable with the feeling of being in confined spaces.The floors of the mansion were divided according to their ranks.The eighth floor was dedicated to the Beta and his family while the seventh floor for the Gamma and his family but since Elias and Raphael haven't found their mate, the two floors below were empty so practically there was no one.The fifth and fourth floor were for the warriors.Annah managed to go down to the fourth floor without attracting much attention.Most of the people were out doing their job and hence not many people were aware of her existence especially when her scent mixed with Nicklaus's.Two or
Even so the Lycan's red eyes were still assessing any sign of lie from him before he swept his gaze at the other side of the room and found out the other warriors whether in their human or Lycan form had done the same as Elias..After he was sure there was no threat around him, the lycan turned around and face his mate...The lycan approached her regardless of her fear. He didn't know anything else and all that he wanted was his mate but she was frightened.He retracted his claws careful enough not to scratch her skin when he touched her...However, Annah swatted his hand away when she felt something touching her due to the great horror that she just experienced. This action earned a low growl from the wolf apparently he wasn't happy with her rejection.The beast didn't realize that his mate was afraid of him as he tried to touch her again."Nicklaus, you need to shift back.." Elias's voice echoed inside Nicklaus's head .."She's scared of you." The lycan didn't answer but let out
"Alannah....." Nicklaus called out to her with a slight Trace of fatigue.He glanced at the figure under the blanket and noticed she was trembling.She was indeed afraid of his presence."I'm sorry I lost control In Front of you but unfortunately I don't regret It." He'd said that he was gonna be honest with her and that was what he was trying to do.He admitted that he didn't have a shred of regret for what he'd done.. "If I were given a chance again, I would have done the same thing without a second thought, however I do regret doing that In Front of you."The night was still as the figure of the powerful Alpha bathed in the traces of the moonlight from the second window as if the guardian was also watching his confession."I promised to do anything to protect you."Nicklaus spoke again after there was still no movement from Annah.."I won't hesitate to kill anyone who dares to hurt you." Nicklaus was blunt with his confession. He didn't want to scare Annah but with their current s
The smell of tomato sauce and grilled pork wafted in the air as a faint white smoke floated from the frying pan.Annah wiggled her legs that were dangling from the countertop where she was sitting. Her eyes attentively followed Nicklaus's every move.It's been an hour since he'd insisted on cooking for her..Nickname moved swiftly as if it wasn't his first time inside the kitchen. Nicklaus also couldn't believe he could actually cook for someone but to think he did this for his mate there was nothing to be ashamed of.He stood there with a spoon in his hand while tasting the spaghetti..He'd a serious expression on his face as he tasted his creation.."I'm sure I did it right.." he murmured to himself..The spaghetti indeed looked delicious but the taste was not so convincing..Annah jumped down from the kitchen island and approached him, she grabbed the spoon from Nicklaus's hand and tasted it herself..."Too bland right?" Nicklaus asked when he looked at the frown forming between he
Her body was stiff and numb as she sucked in a breath of cold the moment she regained consciousness..It was a dream but it felt so real.When someone hand touched her cheeks, out of instinct Annah tried to pry herself away from his clutches but he was too strong for her.Fear gripped her heart when she felt his breath on her neck as his hand around her body held her tightly but then she heard his voice.."Relax, it's me ..." Nicklaus kept repeating these words into her ear with a sense of helplessness."You're safe. It's me, I'm here.." Annah didn't realize the man who was holding her until she heard his voice as he switched on the bed lamp and his face came into light. She stopped her attempt to hit him.It was Nicklaus beside her. Everything was fine, it was only a dream."It's only a Nightmare." Nicklaus was chanting that word over and over again until she became calm.Her bright eyes scanned her surroundings immediately. She wasn't in a dark place where she couldn't see anything
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
