Taken By The Lycan King 55: A Spa Date
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
Taken By The Lycan King 58: Fingers and Lips
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

My study became a temporary harbour for me in the following weeks. I had been head-deep into finding out what powers the bastard had to raise such threats against Eden City.If he thought he was that smart to come back after so many years to take undeserved vengeance for his people, he made the wrong choice.But most of all I struggled with the primal need to have Nadine with me. Her scent was all over the house and I couldn't concentrate properly around the house. I avoided the places I knew she could be around the house, especially with Sara and Mama Teresa in the Kitchen.I would sometimes listen around for the sound of her voice and it would drive me crazy just listening to her laugh with Sara.I was a bit envious of their bond and wished she had been that free around me and not regarded me as a narcissistic and callous animal.I was overwhelmed by the maelstrom of emotions surrounding the mate bond which threatened to break me if I didn't put myself into control.My wolf's grumbl
Taken By The Lycan King 61: I Need You
NADINEDays after I had confronted Kai about if there were reports of me missing in my world, I had decided to continue with my act of playing dumb and get along with the whole thing if I needed to find a way to leave Eden City.If what he had said about the timelines was true, then I wouldn't be so worried or eager to leave Eden City, I would take my time in finding a way out, I needed my escape plan to be flawless.I had to stick to my plan of pretending I was going along with the whole saviour/mate thing. Kai needed to believe I had accepted my fate and loosen up his guard. He was the only person I needed eyes off me.My room was the one place where I cooked up a cacophony of ideas to make myself feel level-headed while mapping out my escape plan.It wasn't enough that I was hanging out with Sara and Mama Teresa. I needed to appear interested in the activities going around and since a potential danger was hovering around the city, I needed to clasp my wings and settle for whatever
Taken By The Lycan King 62: Vulnerable Alpha
KAITaking her to my company was the last thing I could ever do. It was enough torture having her around me in the house. I doubted I could get any work done if she stepped foot in my company. I couldn’t imagine the other wolves at work seeing their Alpha lagging and unfocused.She was going to be the end of me. She just doesn't know how much she affects my entire mood. How much my wolf was already crazy with meed by her just standing there arguing with her cute little mouth.I had felt her scent before she opened the door and braced for the whirlwind of emotions sure to captivate me the moment I set my eyes on her. I had steeled my wolf as she waltzed in with her sweatshirt and baggy shorts with so much grace laden with heavy defiance. Damn, she looked sexy in every damn clothing."I keep thinking it's the mate bond but it is definitely something more. Hell, I do not remember what my life had been before I brought you here. I’m sorry if you think I am holding you back, I just don't k
