Taken By The Lycan King 109: A Deadly Plague
KAIIf being an Alpha had been laid down as a choice - with the news I heard the next morning - I would definitely get incinerated instead of continuing as the Alpha of Eden City.Adam had mindlinked me while I was dressing for work that morning and with the tone of urgency in his voice, something was definitely wrong."Boss, something is wrong" Of course, my jaw was tense from the apprehension that lay ahead."Go on""I just got a report on five people showing the signs of a deadly plague" He hesitated.My mind raced. Why in the world was a deadly plague hovering around Eden City?"What? What kind of plague is it? Do you have any idea what the situation looks like?" I had asked impatiently"The Acrez plague and they told me the situation is worse than we think." and my mind had slumped at the moment.What in the world was the Acrez plague doing in Eden City? I didn't know much about the plague but I knew enough to know it wasn't favourable to a City like Eden.I tried to concentrate
Taken By The Lycan King 110: Impending Doom
NADINEA new plague?What was this all about at the moment? Sara and Mama Teresa had looked terrified when Kai had hurriedly came downstairs and informed us about the new development.The fear and hesitation I saw in Kai's eyes told me something bad was happening. We had paused on our meals and Sara bombarded anybody who cared to listen to her on how such plague spread fast and what would it restrict people from doing.Mama Teresa had told her at a point to hold her horses and wait till Kai came back before she could get any answers. But that did little to assuage her agitation.Eden City was entering into trouble, one after the other and there was little time to feel less agitated.I was in my room, about to change from the work clothes I had donned to something casual after Kai told me we weren't going to work that morning when Sara called me to come and check out something on the TV.I quickly changed and went downstairs just in time to see a breaking news flash. I sat beside Sara

KAIAbout two seconds which seemed more than that passed before they all began clamouring at once."What in the world does that mean?""That's a straight way to doom""This isn't right, Alpha. Nadine's our only hope for goodness sake""For the love of the moon goddess, what kind of decision is this?""We are doomed!"I was irritated by their noise and senseless complaints. They wore spiteful looks and stared at me for answers despite their bickering. It wasn't going to be easy to convince them but they had better know their places in the scheme of things.I was their Alpha, they were merely consultants. I wore a deadpan look to mask my growing annoyance and irritation.But I had had enough, "Choose your words carefully if you don't want your bodies sent back to your homes," I said menacingly, giving out all my Alpha energy, corroding the room.The room quietened. They still glared intensely though. But I didn't give a damn what any of them was going to say.If they needed answers, I w
Taken By The Lycan King 112: I want to stay
KAIThe last thing I wanted was for Nadine to see me in this state and I didn't know whether I needed her presence to envelope me or to be on my own at the moment. I was never myself when she was close to me, or when she was away.Either way, I was fucked. And if she eventually goes back to her world, I wonder if I would still be the active Alpha Eden City thought it had.I couldn't begin to wonder how my life would turn out, even if I eventually handled the prophecy through another means.As she walked towards me, the fleeting thought of rushing towards her and burying my face in the warm crane of her neck rippled through my mind.But I slumped back into my seat, there was no time for any more bonding. She was leaving soon anyway…I glared up at her. "I said I didn't want to be disturbed. I'm in no mood for chitchat for now." My eyes shifted to the door and I was so sure Nadine understood me perfectly but chose to ignore.She walked a couple more steps towards me and it took all the
Taken By The Lycan King 113: Know everything about you
ADAMI looked away from the phone for a second, trying to prove I wasn't troubled that Sara hadn't texted me back for a few seconds. I looked back to see the typing icon and I silently berated myself for being silly.It had been a hectic day. And I missed Sara. And damn, she was the only person who would make the day any better.And this was all I could do about it. Texting her all around and sometimes mindlinking the image of how I wanted her in my arms at the moment.But Kai was around and was in a very rather worrisome state, us trying anything stupid would probably trigger the hell out of him. And I could forget anything that had to do with Sara.She hadn't texted back. I missed you too. How was today??I rapidly texted her back, It was overwhelming but less now that you're talking to me.And then I waited for her response, staring at the name icon to know whether she was typing. Nothing. She was online, but she wasn't responding to my message.A few minutes passed and I was almos
Taken By The Lycan King 114: A new Nadine
KAII blinked my eyes open to the sight of Nadine who had slung an arm over me and held onto me as if afraid I was going to let go.Her sleeping face was as perfect as the morning sun. I hadn't felt this refreshed in a long time and definitely not felt anything near refreshed the previous day.I stared at the beautiful face which was slightly buried amid pillows and I wanted to trace her lips and bite into them, arousing her up into another mind-blowing fuck but I decided against it. I wasn't going to wake her up from the blissful state she was.My mind had left the ravaging plague eating up the city the whole moment Nadine had stepped into my study to a state of bliss where Nadine was the only thing that mattered.What even mattered more was that she was going to stay back in Eden City and she had said she loved me with so much conviction.I didn't doubt it for a second as she had kept ogling me and telling me multiple times I had thrust into her over and over again. And that had fue
Taken By The Lycan King 115: Almost Caught
NADINEI hadn't felt this relieved and refreshed for a long time. It was like I was in the honeymoon phase I often read in books and saw in movies. And I didn't want every bit of it to end.And Kai being in the middle of it all was the best thing ever.I knew I had been lying to myself, convincing myself it was just sex and a ploy to get Kai's guard down but I was done deceiving myself. This was all I had ever wanted all along.I hadn't figured out whether I wanted to stay or not when Kai stormed upstairs that evening, talking about not wanting to be disturbed.But as I entered his study and saw him in a depleted mood, the decision had just come easily to me. And a brush of relief had washed over me immediately I told him the exact words he needed to hear. I was in love with him.I didn't even have second thoughts about it. And the relief I had seen on Kai's face made me fall in love with him, over and over again.The shower sex had been mind-blowing and I threw all caution to the win
Taken By The Lycan King 116: Bigger Chaos
EMILYI was pacing frantically around my room and my head seemed to be bigger by the minute. When I had seen the breaking news flash on the TV, I had no doubt it was the consequence of an action. I knew immediately what had caused it. What have I done?What was the bastard thinking, I only asked for one job!I berated myself over and over as I paced around. Whatever had given me the idea to conjure the corpses of those rogues was no more in my mind. Guilt enveloped my insides and I felt sick to the stomach. The people of Eden City will never forgive me.My mind was a mixture of anger and paranoia and I half expected that maniac to show up so I could give him a piece of my mind.It was as if he had read my mind when I heard a fast movement and I immediately knew who was there in the middle of my living room. I turned around and saw the bastard who had a huge smirk on his ugly scarred face."You fucker! What the hell have you done?? This was not what I asked you to do" I bellowed at him

NADINETwo years later…It was Mama Teresa's fifty-fifth birthday and we took the time to celebrate it by having a poolside lunch.Sara had taken her time in having her styled in a trendy organza outfit and insisted she did her nails. She was a professional at it now, exploring new designs and working closely with her favourite designer Emily had introduced to her.And now she was right here, carrying around my baby boy. Collins who was on his way to becoming a two-year-old.He was the cutest baby ever and hardly gave anybody trouble. He smiled at every given moment and was rarely cranky. He had an uncanny resemblance to Kai.When he had come out of me, I had held the most beautiful being I had ever set my eyes on and a little dimple had shown when he smiled at me.Kai's eyes had melted when he first beheld his son. He had cradled him and sat somewhere far away from him, simply staring at the little bundle of happiness in the Cruz family. Collins Cruz.Kai never stopped being the perf

LEVIAfter everything had settled down, I had just one goal. To get Emily.I continued sending her gifts and even though she wasn't rejecting them, she persisted in ignoring me. She still wouldn't return my calls and texts but I was unperturbed. I knew her, she was trying to admit to herself she wasn't into me so badly. Then she had started coming around to my place at late nights, pushing her body against me, and me having no total power to resist her.Every time we had had some mind-blowing sex, she was in no time to talk, and even if she was there, it was to tell me not to give meaning to whatever just happened between us after which she would storm out.I didn't want to be on a pure sexual vibe with Emily. I wanted more. I wanted love.In an attempt to keep riling her up, I stopped at one of her shoots and the moment I came into plain view, her eyes had risen to meet mine but she looked away immediately.It was an outdoor shoot for a footwear brand. And she looked mesmerising in
Taken By The Lycan King 142: Becoming The Luna
NADINEI never would have called myself a resilient lady until the issue with Lucas trying to become the most powerful wolf, not only in Eden City but also taking over the real world.And one sickening thing about the whole issue had been finding out Lucas was the one behind it. I could never have imagined.The moment I had woken up in a dark room when the abominable wind grabbed hold of me, he had watched me with the most sinister look I had ever seen.I remembered calling out to him and telling him to save me but he had grabbed me by the hand and shoved me down roughly instead The memories run a shiver down my spine every day.I could remember our conversation back at the bar months ago. It had been one of the many reasons I had decided to stay back at Eden.But it had all been a crafty ploy to get closer to me. The feeling of being used took a long time before it wore off me.Kai made sure not to allow me to watch his public execution the night after being rescued. He had been bent
Taken By The Lycan King 141: Back at Home
KAI"Kai", Adam called my attention, apprehension corroding his face. I looked up from where I stood with Emily."It's up, the full moon is out" His voice was filled with dread. I felt my stomach knot even after Emily had told me something stronger than the mate bond could break the barrier and that is if I loved Nadine unconditionally.I knew I loved Nadine. I did with all my life.But I felt helpless, How do we go about it? I was lost in my solitude of thoughts, staring anxiously at the moon which had now risen in all its glory, its heavenly glow wafting through the entire City.The whole room was lit with its embers. And I silently prayed to the moon goddess as I stood there. Just then, Lucas' voice came cascading through the whole house again."It was a pleasure seeing you people work tirelessly, You are a very poor team, I must say. " He said mirthlessly before he gave out a screeching laughter, mocking us."Don't touch her, you madman" I roared, banging the walls and windows. I
Taken By The Lycan King 140: Kidnapped
KAIWe headed out for a hunt. The hunt for the maniac who took Nadine away from me.Adam had suggested going around the abandoned buildings on the outskirts of Eden City and the houses of the council members. It wasn't no Old Monroe, it was someone we all knew.I had been at the council meeting once when Emily told me about the involvement of one of them. I had tried feeling something, looking for just anything, any slip-up to get who it could be.I had them oblivious to the whole matter. It was better that way. I couldn't trust any single one of them. They all looked fatherly and greeted me warmly without no hesitation.Even Elder Will, who was always on board with conspiracy theories didn't look a bit like a madman. I gave up on reading their faces.Going to their houses now could tip the maniac off. If there had been note time before the full room, we could have run wires around their houses but it was not needed anymore. We only had less than three hours till the full moon came up

KAIMy eyes widened as her statement sank in. It was the last thing I was expecting to hear. My mind went blank for a few seconds as I stared into her face which was turning concerned.But she had been at the pharmacy days ago. But it hit me, she had brought a thin paper bag. And I hadn't bothered to ask her about it. Inwardly, I berated myself for not paying much attention ever since Emily told me about her visions.I felt helpless and wasn't even trying to get a grip on myself. And now a life was being developed in Nadine, a life we had both brought into living. And god dammit if some elder was going to prevent me from seeing my first seed.Nadine touched my face and shook me lightly. She must have thought I had relapsed into myself as I stood there, watching her with unmetered surprise."I'm pregnant, Kai" She reiterated before pulling my palm sliding it down her stomach, and smiling weakly,"I need to stay here and fight whatever is coming with you…We are going to be together,
Taken By The Lycan King 138: Unexpected Good News
KAII felt utterly helpless as the days surmounted, slowly leading to the next full moon. As each day passed without finding out who could be threatening Nadine's life, it had me becoming increasingly worried about her. I made the whole situation oblivious to her.I couldn't afford to get her nervous. She watched me closely and I knew she could detect something going on but she made no mention of it.And I was glad she didn't. I was mostly locked up in my study, a whole mind map laid over from the information I had just gotten about Nadine's ancestry.I had set up a contingency team with Adam, Emily and Levi. Emily was inherently valuable to the group, mostly because she was the one with the visions that could guide her into finding out the culprit.We needed her badly and she readily agreed to help. She came around to the house, exchanging pleasantries with Mama Teresa and Nadine with a look of guilt strewn over her face.When thoughts of the things she had done corroded my mind, I c
Taken By The Lycan King 137: A New Enemy
KAI My hands rimmed firmly on the steering wheel as we drove back home. And Emily's words corroded the entirety of my mind. Nadine immediately asked me what she had come for when I got back to the car. I shrugged and smiled at her,b3fkre squeezing her open palm as softly as I could. "It's nothing, she is just reporting some stuff on her job. You know she's a custodian." I replied, feeling guilty for lying to her. She let out an ohh and watched me pasely before I turned my eyes back to the road. From the corner of my eyes, I could see she was about to say something else but decided against it. I tried to bring up random conversations which she engaged in with me but I kept zoning out, my mind preoccupied with the looming danger that could affect the love of my fucking life in a few days if Emily was telling the truth. And I cursed under my breath. Emily had better be joking about this. I didn't need any more terrible occurrences happening again, not with Nadine again. Who the hel
Taken By The Lycan King 136: New Lovers
LEVIThe colour on her face drained the moment she turned around and saw me. I smiled widely at her, ignoring Kai's scornful look behind her at the drama unfolding in front of him.I couldn't believe she had actually announced to Kai that I was her boyfriend. Inwardly, I was conflicted about whether she was trying to show Kai she was already over him or she really meant what she said."What are you doing here?" Emily said in a low tone which clearly carried hostility but I was untethered. I took her hand and pulled her gently towards me before wrapping an arm around her slim waist, an action causing shock to ripple through her body.And I knew my answer was somewhat in my favour.I hadn't been following her. I had not even seen her for days now but I was constantly sending her gifts at work and home.The situation had plainly presented itself when I was returning from work and I saw her car, one I could recognise anywhere, slide into Kai's company.I stopped and watched how she hurrie
