NADINEMy head was bombarded with a whirlwind of emotions as I hastened my steps toward my room. The kiss had been out of this world and my lips still tingled with the lingering sensation of the intensity of Kai's lips devouring mine.I could still feel the warmth of his breath on my skin and the feel of his palms at the nape of my neck. My insides had been squirting wet with every touch. It was a connection I had never felt before and left me begging for more.And I had allowed myself to fall so deep into it without any resistance. I almost died seeing Sara’s shocked face when she swung the door.A part of my mind wondered why she turned up at that moment when I couldn’t wait for Kai's hands over my naked longing body. And another part of it was pissed at how I had the chance to leave the room but I got lost in my own lust and a passionate connection I had felt when he moved toward me.My mind reeled back to the words he had utteredYou have no idea what you do to me. You have no id
SARA"I feel all worked up already, " I said to Nadine as I twirled around in my moisture-wicking sports bra and shorts the moment she got out of her room."I carried water bottles for two" I reached for the bottles I had in my gym bag.Nadine looked over at me incredulously with amusement glinting in her eyes."What?""You look so excited? I don't want you going there and telling me you are exhausted after two minutes”I rolled my eyes as I scoffed at her terrible assumption of me being a weak ass "You really think I'm weak, don't you, have you seen my glutes?” in all honesty, I had been doing mild workouts in the corner of my room, jamming songs to hit me up, only to resume back at it two weeks later. Yesterday as soon as Nadine suggested we come by the gym today, I knew consistency was rearing its head with a gym partner.She strode forward in her grey sports bra and performance leggings, flexing her set body with some warm-ups. She was right, I was thrilled about it.Nearing the e
KAIConfessing my feelings to Nadine must have shocked her more than I intended. A couple of days after she had come into my study, I rarely saw her but her scent infiltrated around the house. I had been leaving my study more hoping to talk to her but she had begun the avoiding game.I had even started to come downstairs to look around the Castle grounds. I had the immense urge to continue from where we had stopped the other day.I hadn't made much progress with getting the rogue but he had not made any attack since the last time he murdered a guard and a customer at a superstore. It was like he disappeared for days but I had a sneaking feeling the bastard was plotting something, something I couldn’t figure out. I couldn't afford to let down my guard. I intensified the security range across the city, ordering two dozen guards to join the current ones at every assigned post. I had most of them at the intersection between Old Monroe and the rest of the city. Fuck his dark magic, he i

KAIGolf definitely didn't clear my mind not after Sara came by with her train of suggestions. Maybe I would have adhered if there hadn't been a mad bastard on a killing spree. I wondered whether Sara knew how dangerous a rogue can be as I watched her jog off. I needed Adam to intensify his bodyguard duties.It was annoying Nadine found everything boring because of the events that befell Eden City but I had a feeling she might also hate me taking her out if there hadn't been a threat hovering the City.Her defiance at the store we had been together and at the visit to the Castle of the first Alpha crossed my mind and brought an amused smile right on my lips. I was going to do anything possible to make her happy."Let's pack up" I instructed Adam who had come over and was relieved we were finally ending the game."Are you good, boss?" He asked, his stoic expression betraying the hint of concern that threatened to appear on his face.I nodded back at him and walked back towards the hou
SARAIt was the third movie we were watching that day. I yawned, blinking my eyes open as the characters droned on. I looked towards Nadine who yawned seconds after.The plot of the movie was the same as the last two we had watched and it seemed to go over my head. The channels were dull and unentertaining.It was day 20 since we last set foot outside the castle and I had exhausted all the indoor games I knew. I had never been this stuck inside for so long, I had devoted myself to counting the days and entertaining Nadine in ways possible.We played dress-up a couple of times, snapped pictures and videos and explored Instagram mindlessly.The board games became monotonous and dragging and I was sure I had memorised all the moves in Monopoly and Chess and kept winning Nadine at them. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the movie anymore as I took the remote and shut it off"This is so tiring" I cried out as I slumped further into the sofa I sat on."Very tiring" Nadine let out a slee
NADINEI did not believe I was actually indulging in this weird plan. We released the breath we had been holding while the Chevrolet drove off the castle and Sara pulled down the sack and giggled uncontrollably.The relenting afternoon shone faintly on my face and I took in a long breath. We were on a busy road and I just realised I missed the honking of cars.“Told you not to worry” Sara whispered.“How far is the mall?” I asked.“We should be there in some minutes”I closed my eyes as the breeze settled into my whole body. Sara was right. This was another type of fresh air entirely. The house was becoming suffocating even after Sara tried to convince me I hadn’t fully explored the whole grounds.But if I hadn’t left the living room and continued watching the movie on TV, I might have gone crazy.The car skidded to a stop and Sara immediately pulled the sack bag over us. The doors slammed shut as the two guards made their way into the mall. We waited for what could be counted as five
SARAThe moment Nadine turned back to me as we moved closer to the truck, I immediately knew something was wrong.My eyes widened in unmetered fright and my heart lurched as I saw the black shadow appear from nowhere, right behind her. Before I could get a grab of what was happening, it rose and consumed her in seconds.I almost lost my mind over what just happened. I let out a piercing scream, searching around for Nadine, and screaming her name around the park.Tears were beginning to pool uncontrollably out of my eyes. Some of the owners of the cars were in the park now, baffled at my screams and inquiring what was wrong but I couldn't find words to describe what I had just seen.I should have listened to Kai, listened to Adam. I shouldn't have been so selfish. I instantly hated myself. When it was certain Nadine was really gone, I collapsed on the floor of the park, wailing.The two guards from the store were already in the parking lot, carrying heavy bags of groceries and confuse
