Taken By The Lycan King 118: Black Magic
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
Taken By The Lycan King 120: Bloody Consequence
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
Taken By The Lycan King 122: Any Form
KAII couldn't believe my ears. Emily did what? I was boiling with unmetered rage as Levi told me everything about Emily conjuring the dead rogues to get rid of Nadine. I knew she was one to miles to get things her way but I had never felt she could ever go this way.What exactly did she understand about not becoming my mate?I couldn't believe she would stoop so low. She was a fucking custodian and everyone trusted her enough not to indulge in stupid things like this.I wanted to ask Levi how he had known she was behind everything but I couldn't control the spite rummaging through my body as I remembered Nadine lying in pain upstairs."Where the hell is she? Is she out of her senses? She's a custodian for crying out loud!" I bawled at Levi who kept a cool countenance at my outburst."I don't think lashing out at her is what you should be doing now." He started. "Just calm down and we should find a quick solution to this mess. Don't allow your anger override your senses, Kai" He added
Taken By The Lycan King 123: Saved!
LEVII stepped in just between Kai and Emily before Kai could do something stupid. His eyes were fury red and if I allowed him, he could tear Emily apart. He just couldn't have it easy with Emily and he kept on shooting daggers at her.His face was beefy red and his nose flared in sheer bitterness. I understood every reason Kai could get so angry with Emily. We were talking about his mate, the only solution to the impending doom hovering over Eden City and Emily jeopardising that for a little jealous trife was uncalled for.But this was not the time for any show of anger towards Emily. This was the time to find a solution to the damn rogue tethering around and causing havoc.When Emily said the rogue was on the castle grounds, I instinctively believed her. She wasn't working with the rogue, I could never be more sure of that.I stepped in to convince Kai who disbelieved every word Emily uttered. "I know you had only given her the chance to come in because I had said so. She is on our
Taken By The Lycan King 124: Save Me
KAII placed Nadine who still looked confused at the whole situation back on the sheets and kept assuring her all was well.I couldn't contain the huge relief I had felt when she opened her eyes and looked around as if she had just found herself somewhere strange. I hadn't noticed Emily had lost consciousness until Levi had bundled her up and out of the room. That was by the way.For now, all that mattered was that Nadine was better. Emily was worn out and damn it she deserved every inch of it. Her careless decisions had gotten us a huge problem in our hands and I had to fucking clean up after her mess.It was time to get that bastard. I mind-linked Mama Teresa and Sara that Nadine was better.And they came wafting into the bedroom a few minutes later, relief swept across their faces. Sara's face was all puffy from crying and as she ogled over Nadine, I cautioned her not to bother herI had to leave them alone now. If there was that lunatic in the house like Emily said, we needed to g
Taken By The Lycan King 125: Worried
ADAMNo, no, no…Why had Sara rushed downstairs? She wasn't supposed to be here.My insides shuddered into ripples of dread as I saw the rogue wrap his scarred fingers around Sara's neck. He was raving mad and wheezing frantically. And he was dead serious.I hadn't believed my eyes when I saw Sara screeching for us not to hurt the so-called Amanda who was plainly the rogue. And Sara had grown to like her over the last few days.I recalled her sending her new hair pictures and informing me it was the girl that made it for her and that angered me the more."Oh poor Sara, nothing like a sob story to catch her attention" The rogue sneered and all I wanted was to rush at him and bash what was remaining of his face in that instant."Shut up, you bastard, leave her alone and face me yourself" Kai bellowed but the maniac was unhinged as he pulled Sara tightly. Sara's face was clouded with unmetered shock as she stood speechless across the bastard's chest.His claws were so close to her neck an

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

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
