Taken By The Lycan King One: The Development Plan
NADINE SINGH"Congratulations, Ms. Singh, the project has been approved."I stared at Dominic, the director of my department, not believing my ears. I just stood there like a statute, unmoving."Come on, Nadine," Dominic chuckled as he moved closer to me, "are you in that much shock? You're not even responding."Around me, I could hear the rest of the teammates hollering and screaming and clapping in excitement while I just remained frozen.What? The project has been approved? That was my aim; that was the end game, I've prayed for this, cried for this, all the sleepless nights of planning and planning and sketching and coming up with the modern city plan that the forest at the outskirts of the town was going to convert to, all the rejections and everything and finally, the project has been approved? The project has finally been approved? God! It felt like a dream and that was why I wasn't shouting or bringing down the roof right now because what if I start screaming in excitement

KAI CRUZI blocked out all the noises in the council as the members started making noises and screaming at each other like the errant barbarians that they are. Within me, my wolf was seething, begging to let lose and put all these people in their places but I had to refrain from him, had to refrain myself because if there's one thing I've learned since I took the mantle of power when my father died, it was that violence was never the way. And I never resort to violence unless it's absolutely necessary. Even though each time there was a council meeting, I was always almost forced to take back my words."Can we all keep quiet?" I asked-commanded in a very quiet voice and almost immediately, all the noise in the room ceased. Well, except for one unfortunate man. "Alpha, I don't think this is the time for you to be telling us to keep quiet," he had the audacity to look into my eyes as he said the words that could as well spell out his doom, "our existence is at stake here so you don'

NADINEFor the first time in forever, Dominic allowed us to leave work early but that was only because he wanted us to go out and celebrate. And of course, the feat was no small one and we really deserved to celebrate it. We've been at it for five good years and several rejections, modifications, and tears after, we finally got the approval to go ahead. We finally got the yes! So really, we needed to celebrate it. We came to a bar and got a round table and in no time, my teammates were in varying degrees of drunkness, even Dominic. I was the only one that refused to drink. "So you're really not going to drink even a cup?" Tania inquired with a slur in her voice and her shaky hands holding a half-empty glass of beer."Yes," I smiled at her as I picked at the gizzard I was eating. "But why?""Because I drove here and I have to drive myself back home.""But you can always call a designated driver!" she challenged, her voice rising. That was one thing about Tania, she always get an

NADINEI could feel warmth all around me, the bed was so soft that I found myself snuggling and wanting to disappear into it. It was that soft. The pillows were comfy too and I sighed at how comfortable it was as I pulled it closer to myself. This was the kind of bedding that'd make one wish they could sleep forever and that's what I wanted at the moment. But work... I just got the approval for my lifelong project. My eyes popped open immediately after that thought came to my mind and I stood up with a start. Why did I have to sleep in late when I should have been the first person to get to work?I started to make a beeline for the bathroom only to stop dead in my tracks as I looked around the unfamiliar bedroom. It wasn't my room. I wasn't in my room. Panic surged through my body as the events of last night came flooding into my mind. The approval, the team hang out, the rain, the highway, my car getting spoilt, and the stranger that had stopped to help me. But it wasn't to

NADINEI couldn't stop laughing. Was I that excited about the prospect of Eden City becoming a reality that I was really dreaming about it? Because this must be a dream. I was dreaming about Eden City and this ridiculously hot male because I'd been starved of men and the subconscious part of my brain was reminding me of what I was missing in my dream.He was still looking at me with that piercing eyes of his that almost seemed like he was undressing my soul with his eyes and my laughter subconsciously trailed off as I straightened up. "So... Urhmm, we're in Eden City, right?" I asked him when he obviously wasn't sharing in my humor because he wasn't smiling, just looking at me blankly."Yeah."Another laughter bubbled up my throat and I had to bite my lower lip to stop the laughter from deepening. "So, we're in a city that's not on the map, a city that doesn't even exist yet, a city that just exists in my head and on paper."With that, a muscle ticked in his jaw, and an expression

KAIA day later, I was in the council of elders again.They've been asking for my presence and calling for a meeting since I brought Nadine to Eden City but things had to be done properly. I couldn't just attend to them when I was yet to explain to Nadine what she was doing in Eden City.And God! That explanation had unfolded in a way I wasn't expecting it to at all. I know it was going to be ridiculous, telling her about the werewolf world that'd cease to exist if her project was commissioned but saying it out loud and watching all the expressions on her face had made it much more ridiculous. I knew she was going to believe me that easily and the plan was to let her slowly come to terms with it but those kids just happened to be shifting right there on the street in broad daylight and as if seeing them was not enough, I was just stupid enough to let my anger get my claws out and changed my eyes color and the minute she saw that, she paled completely before she took a step back from
Huling Na-update : 2023-07-18Taken By The Lycan King 7: She’s my Mate
KAIAs expected, all of them fell quiet and they all turned to me with expressions full of disbelief. Even Levi sat up straighter as he looked at me with an expression I couldn't decipher. "What do you mean she's your mate?" Denis asked, his tone incredulous. "Exactly what it means, she's my mate, my fated one, the one I've been searching for all these years."There were collective gasps and their expressions mirrored shock and disbelief. Those two were an understatement to what I felt when I discovered that she was my mate. It was the least expected thing, something I never thought could be possible but the minute I stepped out of my hiding under the rain, the first thing that assaulted my nose was the divine and heavenly scent that was coming from her. I knew it was impossible for someone to smell that good alone and my wolf senses immediately picked up the fact that she might be our mate. Everything about her felt magical and divine and out of this world that I could see lit
Huling Na-update : 2023-07-18Taken By The Lycan King 8: Mama Teresa
KAIThe first place I showed up when I got back home was in Nadine's room and she was still out with the physician sitting on a chair in her room. I then went to the kitchen where Mama Teresa was cooking one of her delicious recipes to drink water. "The council must have been very happy," she said softly as I drowned a cup of water. "Happy is an understatement to what they felt when they realized that finally, there's a way out of the impending doom.""Yeah, I can imagine, after all these years, the Moon Goddess finally answered our prayers."After all these years indeed! Since the curse and prophecy were revealed to me after my eighteenth birthday by Father and the rest of the council, I initially thought it was ridiculous because we were in a modern world and mates were a thing of the past but as I grew older, I realized how dire the situation was. The existence of the entire werewolf race was solely dependent on if I found my mate. As the 21st generation of the Alpha bloodline

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

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

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,

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

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

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
