Taken By The Lycan King 52: She’d be my Luna
KAIThe words from the rogue stuck firmly in my mind. I kept thinking them over as we drove back to the City. He had told Eden City to prepare for war when the City had already been thrown into enough fright already.He hadn't said his name but I was damn sure he was part of the Blood Moon pack.How the fuck did the bastard survive for almost a hundred years? If I hadn't been to Old Monroe myself, I would never believe it could happen. I wondered about the shock on the face of the elders when I give them the news.I could see Adam itching to break the silence but I preferred to ruminate over the event during the drive. I had told him everything the rogue mind linked to me as we walked back to the car. We had looked over some other buildings, trying to figure out whether he had hidden somewhere else.But the presence was gone, it simply vanished like it was never there at all.When we got back to the car, I had exclaimed about how coincidental the threats of Eden City were and I had se

NADINEA light rap on the door steered me out of the afternoon nap I was beginning to enjoy."Come in", I croaked, expecting to see Sara waddle in. One of the maids, whom I recognised as Mia, walked into the room."Good afternoon, miss. An Elder from the Council wants to see you. He said it's quite urgent. " She paused as if just realising I had been sleeping. "I had no idea you were asleep," she said apologetically"No, it's fine. I wasn't that deep asleep." I waved off the apology and sat up on the bed.An Elder?I reeled back to the faces Kai had shown me at the chamber at the amphitheatre and tried to make out who exactly wanted to see me. And why was he around?Mia left quickly as soon as I told her I would come downstairs.I donned loose pants and a t-shirt packing my hair into a lazy bun, wondering who interfered with my now routined siesta. I didn't see Mia around nor did I see the Elder when I got to the living room and I almost let out a yelp of frustration. A mop of brown

NADINEKai and Adam stepped out of the car with hard faces. Adam took a glance at us before moving to his apartment. Kai's face softened as he walked up to us but switched back to its initial hardened countenance when he saw the basket. "What's with the basket?" He inquired, not taking his eyes off it for a second.I eyed him with sheer indignation. "Apparently, one of your elders-""Elder Luca." Sara eagerly cut in."Thank you, Sara" I cast a glare at her. "He concluded that a saviour of Eden City should get pregnant to secure the future of the City" Sarcasm was rubbed into each syllable of my world as I glared at Kai, shoving down the thoughts of me moaning into his ears inside a deep corner."And he brought the saviour fruits and fertility products, nice of him, right? I looked at Sara intently before looking back at Kai, an eyebrow corked upwards.Kai's countenance went from confusion to annoyance in milliseconds. His brows furrowed deeply as he growled."What the hell does h

NADINEMy breaths were coming in sharp intakes and they escalated the more I remembered the events that had gone down in the last couple of days.And that animal had the galls to tell me he had gotten me a stupid cellphone. For a split second, I wondered whether I could maybe connect with anybody from Crescent Valley with the phone. But I would rather eat dust than collect the phone from Kai.He could be Alpha to everyone here but to me, he's definitely an egoistic scumbag, scratch that, beast.A soft rap on the door and I knew instantly it was Sara. She definitely knows how to come in during a chaotic moment. I didn't think I wanted to talk to anybody and I immediately pulled my duvet over my body.She walked in anyway and sat on my bed. I heard no movement for the next two minutes. Then she attempted to pull the duvet overI didn't resist. A smile was plastered across her face as she touched my face."Geez, you're burning" I glared at her but her smile didn't waver. "Nadine, I'm s

SARA"I have never dyed my hair" I exclaimed when Nadine took a look again at me. She kept on complimenting me and suggesting new ideas. She took a deep look and suggested dyeing. That was the last thing I could ever do with my wavy shiny hair."I have fallen in love with its blackness, I'm afraid I might hate myself if I dye it into any other colour" I retorted."I see ginger looking nice on you though" Nadine went on and looked back at her mirror."Nah nah" I swung a look back at the mirror checking out my Bob haircut which I had left with a few layers. I had dated to cut off some length and checked on my bucket list. I couldn't deal with daring two things on the same day. We were at a private section of the Salon.We had thrown a dice to decide the first thing to do which had been the spa treatment. It was soothing and I enjoyed every bit of it.What had gladdened me the most was the look of ecstasy on Nadine's face during the spa treatment. Just what I wanted to work out. I hoped

SARAOn getting back to our private spot at the salon, Nadine was up and already checking herself out in the mirror. She looked incredibly gorgeous and breathtaking. The waves were willowy and shone like glitters. She twirled around as she saw me approach."What do you think? For a second, I thought you actually abandoned me again. You were held up by aliens in the restroom?" She corked her head to a side.I narrowed my eyes at her and shook my head. When would Nadine begin to trust me again? All I ever did was bring two people together for a date. A date that had gone terribly wrong."You look amazing, you should respect me when I show you styles you should try on" I twirled around before bowing slightly. "And no I wasn't held up by aliens, I ran into a friend."Nadine took her bag and mine, watching me closely, "You guys are up and about when your precious city is in danger" She shook her head in disapproval and handed my handbag over."Some of us have survival tactics in us" I sni

NADINEI checked myself in the vanity mirror for the umpteenth time. I had been plunging myself up the bed, trying to play dress up and losing the zeal instantly, intermittently.I admired the waves so much I wanted to keep memories of myself on them. I remembered seeing Emily on waves in one of her pictures on Instagram and I instantly blocked the image out.If I had done these waves back in Crescent Valley, with my power suit outfit working on a tremendous project, my vision board would be ticking off some ambitious goalsBut remembering I was nowhere near Crescent Valley got me immediately downcast and lonely.I needed to know what was going on over there, was my boss really bothered about me? Did nobody wonder why my car was probably empty with the bonnet wide open on the highway?I wondered whether someone was already interested in my push for the Eden City project but I knew they were protecting the forest with all their wealth and power.I almost ran amok thinking about what m

NADINEI had never seen Sara look so serious as she carefully wielded a pink cuticle stick to push back the cuticles of my left fingers. But that had not stopped her from not talking about some popular salon we should have gone to instead of the other one we had gone to the other day.She took a lilac nail polish out of her large set of different colours and sizes of nail polish and rubbed it between her palms rapidly."What's that for?" I questioned, amused by the show."To make the polish warm" The look on her face protested against my question. Did she expect me to know why she was rubbing the bottle? "Just sit back and let me do my work""-Sometimes you just have to lay off, press on nails for a while and take time to take care of your own nails" She stated like a professional.I nodded. Sara had been frequently visiting my room since we went to the spa together. With my new cellphone, alongside her presence, I had successfully eased off the boredom that was seething into my entir

Taken By The Lycan King 144: That Ends Well
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,

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
