Taken By The Lycan King 37: Like That
NADINEHe thinks he's a smart mouth, I scoffed as I walked towards the windowless gaps in the room.We were still at the top floor and I was getting more enthralled by the grandeur of the castle every minute. Antiques lined the width and breadth of the floor. If I weren't so passionate about architecture, I would have poked my nose into sculpture classes.Touching the antiques got me fervently riled up and I couldn't help but feel like I found something I had lost that I hadn't quite come to terms with in them. The atmosphere was breathable and tranquil and I would have been more comfortable if not for Kai's presence l which seemed to annoy me at the same time heating me up.I wondered if I had breathed at all since we started touring the castle.I had tried to restrain myself from talking about anything or asking him the multiple questions I had about the whole place. I had been wholesomely fascinated and my curiosity knew no bounds. But I failed when my curiosity attained its highes
Taken By The Lycan King 38: Beg For It
NADINEThe kiss robbed me of my breath. One minute, I was admiring the view that was absolutely magical, and the next, I was being pulled into a strong pair of hands and body and my mouth was being devoured in a searing and most intense kiss that I've ever known. If I had thought that our first kiss was intense, then this was definitely putting it to shame. His mouth was fervent on mine, hungry, needy, and demanding and forcing mine into submission and compliance. His kiss incinerated everything and the only thing I was aware of was the fact that I was being kissed by this man like I was the source of air that he had been deprived of for so long. God! This man definitely know how to use his lips as he backed me against a wall, his tongue exploring and plunging deeper and deeper with his lips and teeth pulling and scratching and making me experience the kind of pleasure that I never knew was possible. Only from a kiss! I fleeting wondered just how pleasured he could make me feel
Taken By The Lycan King 39: A rogue on the loose
KAII was back at the council meeting after calling an emergency meeting right after I dropped Nadine off at the house. The atmosphere was immensely heavy and poignant.A rogue was on the loose.Everyone was talking at the same time but I paid no attention to any of them. My wolf has been seething ever since I found out a rogue was free on the streets of Eden City. There hadn't been one for a century now. It was surprising how he just emerged from nowhere.My first instinct had been to protect Nadine. I had rushed Nadine to my car which was parked outside the castle. My reflexes had been triggered by the screams and I had pounced right from the top of the castle. Nadine was frightened out of my mind and her horror-stricken face contorted with fear.I had made my way back to the castle and the castle manager had come rushing to my side. A rogue had made its way inside the castle and attacked tourists and murdered two of them. My mind went back to Nadine and I quickly assured myself tha
Taken By The Lycan King 40: More Than The Mate Bond
KAIThe drive back to the house was mentally draining for me. I kept on ruminating on the possible reasons a rogue could have shown on the grounds of the castle. The elders were right, Nadine had to be shown to the people of Eden if they were to truly believe they were safe.Nadine.She was pretty shaken when I drove her back to the house and dropped her off before heading back for the emergency meeting. She was silent the whole time during the flight and I could feel her dread.My hands gripped the wheel firmly as I thought of her having to witness such a gruesome event when I was right with her. I was sure she had seen the mauled bodies before we got to the car. Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, a miserable rogue had to pop up. I didn't realise I had been gritting my teeth till I parked the car at the garage.I relaxed and took out some deep breaths before heading into the house.I picked up Mama Teresa's and Sara's scents as I made my way towards the living room and th
Taken By The Lycan King 41: For The Best
NADINEMy last two brain cells had shut down the moment I hit the bed in my room after Kai dropped me off at the house. The events had happened so soon and I hadn't quite gotten a grasp of everything.The memories of the intense kisses and all I had allowed Kai to do to me up in the castle were quite visible in my subconscious but it was overridden by the ghoulish scene I caught sight of before Kai locked me in his car. Bodies were mauled at the feet of the castle and several shivers had run down my body when I saw them.I couldn't lie, I had felt a little bit of solace while in Kai's arms.With my knees bent close to my torso in the car, I could make out snippets from conversations of people running out of the castle. There were loud shrieks and bangs from people rushing all at once and they kept hitting the car intermittently.My anxiety levels rose with each bang. Some of the things I could make out from the rushed conversations had been there was a rogue on the loose and it seemed
Taken By The Lycan King 42: Family Dinner
FORTY-TWOKAII joined the whole house for dinner that night. If making them safe was also to keep tabs on everyone, I could start with that. A poignant air was up in the room, everyone seemed to be in their heads and I couldn't bear the thought of them living in fright because some run-away rogue, claimed to be dead, was up and murdering people in public places.The silent clanging of the utensils against plates infiltrated the room. I had barely touched my food as I kept surveying the table. They were all fixated on their plates as if they were trying to solve a difficult puzzle with furrowed brows.My mind steered back to the documents I had brushed through in the study about wars between rogues and Alphas. Mainly they targeted the Alpha, but usually, the council rises with the Alpha to defeat the rogue.I could clearly remember that some of the statues in the castle were to remember such wars. Ironic it all happened back at the castle.They were rascals who just didn't understand
Taken By The Lycan King 43: Time to meet their Luna
KAII couldn’t tear my eyes off Nadine throughout dinner and she made a solid attempt at ignoring me too. I felt hunches of guilt sweeping over me as I remembered the fright that had evidently stood on her face at the castle.If hating me before the attack at the castle wasn't enough, she would probably add disgust to the hate she already had now.Adam had left the table immediately after he finished eating which was before any of us and left to get the document's on the rogue wolves. He had mind-linked me about dropping them in my study. I would set to work immediately after I finished something here.I wanted to talk with Nadine. It was high time she agreed to stay in Eden City and see her importance in the course of events.With her blatantly ignoring me and seeing me in the light of a monster, I needed to convince her to save Eden City. I knew she might still be in shock of what had happened at the castle but something had to be done soon.As I watched her drop her cutlery after d

NADINE“There’s the peach colour of this exact one” Anna, the most interesting stylist I had ever seen kept on piling luxury dresses with different fabrics.For the past hours, we had gone between checking out beaded dresses to sequined to other exquisite embellishments. Each dress screamed elegance and sophistication. They were so intricately designed just like the ones I had seen in the store.But these were high-end gowns. Their fabrics ensued a shrewd feeling out of me, a feeling of sophistication and glamour. I could also imagine them on my body with their appropriate cutouts in the right places.Compared to my work-home life back in the real world, this was something out of the ordinary. I could swear I felt like I was in the Victorian era and some English summer Ball. What held me right at peace was our location.We were in the lush garden behind the house. I had no idea the estate was much bigger than the car park and the buildings. When Sara had woken me up to come downstai

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
