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
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
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
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
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
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
NADINEI could swear the drumming commenced since the first light of morning broke. And Sara wanted all of it as she eagerly opened and slid apart the curtains as soon as I woke up. She had slept over in my room insisting I had a long day ahead and she was ready to be my assistant through it. And she was doing an awesome job at that.My room was bustling with cosmeticians and the maids engaging in one or two thiaroundroud. Sara was barking orders and insisting on checking every item I would put on twice to make sure everything turned out perfect. The drums outside took it up a notch every hour.They were out on the streets and a band of trumpets had already joined them. I was getting more bewildered at the minute. As the day broke eventually, I caught sight of thousands of people right in front of the house from my windows.Their shrieks and excited screams came floating through the windows. And there I was in the middle of it all.The beautician was all over my face with her assistan
