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
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
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
NADINEIf Sara had been clingy around me before, she was certainly now a higher degree of clingy. She had probably not breathed ever since I told her I wasn't going back to Crescent Valley.She kept on showing her beaming pleasure in me becoming her sister-in-law and a lot of things we would do together once the lockdown ended and the cure for the plague was found.I couldn't keep up with her array of words but I tried my best to listen to her talk on and on.At one point, I wanted to make an excuse to go and see Kai upstairs in his study but I wasn't going to give her the thought of the desperation I felt for Kai. I would never hear the end of it.I sat in the living room as she asked me how and when I had changed my mind about not returning to Crescent Valley. I told her I was in love with Kai, as a matter of fact.There was no use cooking up any stories to defend my decision.She giggled and was even flushed more than I was, "I always knew you loved my brother. Maybe you didn't kno
KAII was busy on my laptop when Adam knocked. I mindlinked him to come in and judging from the expression on his face, he had news.He sat on the chair opposite to mine and my eyes caught the disarranged books on the side of the desk and my mind sauntered back to Nadine being on that desk but I tried to wave off the thought and pay attention to what Adam began to say."There's a breakthrough in keeping the plague for now. The new antidote the healers were working on is working. It reduces the swelling and bumps on the skin after a few minutes."I sighed deeply and rested my back against the chair's headrest. That was a good sign.Adam continued, "But more people are in quarantine, family members of the infected and whoever they had come in contact with. They've all been given the antidote." He paused."People just need to stay back home before another wave starts." Another wave?"Is there the possibility of another wave?" I arched my brow in disbelief.Adam nodded. "The healers conf
LEVIImmediately after Kai had closed the mind-link, I sat back to weigh the consequences of my holding back the information. I was shocked to the bone.Why had I even held back? The alarm had been true and I was mad for not acting fast on it. Damn it, it could have saved us all from having this plague that was bent on consuming us all.I had been holding the thought but I had to come face to face with it now. Emily. I had gone to meet her about the matter and she never got back to me.She had been acting quite weird and had a disturbed look on her face anytime I came across her. There was only one way to find out.I grabbed my car keys and headed out into the night. There was a lockdown but I was on a primary assignment and all other things had to wait before I ruined the whole city any further.I stopped at Emily's house, her windows were open but her car was gone. I knocked on the door, rang the door and checked around the house, sniffed her before I finally concluded she was not h
LEVIWe rode in silence as I drove back to the city. She had been reluctant to go back to the City. But she knew they would come for her no matter where she was. And not oy the elders but the bastard rogue she had let loose.Going by the ritual she had done herself, she was in a blood trife with the rogue, and anything that happens to her, happens to the rogue. And the fucker would stop at anything to stay alive and complete his revenge.People were in grave danger, especially Kai. Emily was quiet and I resisted the urge to ask her about her car. This wasn't the time to feel pity for her.She needed to come to terms with the things she had done.I was all over my head on how to report back to Kai when I heard her voice, "You can drop me off at the nearest bus stop close to my place, I'll walk from there." She said quietly.I groaned, "And why should that be? I'm taking you to my place. You shouldn't stay alone when that rogue is on the loose" I snapped at her and she was having n
KAIIt must have been her sudden movement that jerked me awake and alert. Nadine sat upright on my bed, a grimace on her morning face as she hung her head in her hands, wincing. I scurried over to her with worry shadowed across my face."It's just a headache," She said, her voice breaking as she kept wincing."Alright, just calm down. I'll get you some painkillers." I assured her and pulled her into my chest. Her body temperature was surprisingly rising and seemed to be simmering.This wasn't just any headache. Paranoia hit me right in the face as my mate kept wincing in nonstop pain.Before I could take any action, Nadine let out a piercing scream that shook through her entire body and gave out goosebumps all over her arms.I was in full panic mode, totally confused for a few seconds as I tried to hug everything she was feeling away. But I instantly got myself together and called on Mama Teresa.She had been just fine the previous day, showing off the hair she had made to me and us h
