Taken By The Lycan King 67: Let's sneak out
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
Taken By The Lycan King 68: End Result
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
Taken By The Lycan King 69: Kidnapped by the rogue
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
Taken By The Lycan King 70: Dark Magic or not
KAII was seething fervently with rage as I stormed back towards the house. I had just left the house that morning for a quick check at things over at the company and everything had gone in disarray. I should have stayed back and aborted any plan of going out.My mind had run wildly immediately after Adam gave me the news. I was enraged, how the hell did she fall into the hands of that bastard??Adam had filled me in on the details as I drove blindly back to the house. I held back my breath as I listened, my breaths coming in hot ragged intakes as I rimmed my hands forcedly on the steering wheel.How the hell had they gone through the gates? Where had Adam been? Had nobody seen them?The questions corroded my mind as I made my way into the living room to give each of them a piece of my mind, my chest beat hard against my ribs, and my stomach kept lurching. My wolf howled in despair. I was beginning to lose it.Sara was sobbing uncontrollably on the sofa, hair dishevelled and her face
Taken By The Lycan King 71: You Die Today
NADINEIt all happened in a fraction of a second. One minute I was standing right in front of Sara, calling out to her, and the next, yanked by a force that was as dark as the night before everything turned black.I had desperately wished it was all just an awful nightmare. But as I opened my eyes slowly, I couldn't at first make out what I was, I knew I wasn't in the solace of my bed.Not until I rolled and noticed I was on the ground did I realise it was all real. My brain snapped open and my surroundings came into view bleakly.The room was pitch dark with only a glimmer of light at the far top of the ceiling which was metres away. I was on dusty ground with shards of hay and I could feel the taste of earth in my mouth.I shifted and rubbed on something rigid and I screamed before realising it was a huge gnarled root of a tree. With the dim light, I could make out I was in a large room that looked old and abandoned.The whole place was covered with overgrown decaying vines whose sm
Taken By The Lycan King 72: Her Bodyguard
SARA"It's okay, Sara. Kai is on his way to find her" My mom unrelentingly tried calming me down. She had been at it since I had gotten back with Adam. She had pulled an afghan after catching sight of my shaky body.As I narrated my ordeal to her in tears, I expected her to flare up and scold me for making such an irrational decision but she had kept quiet and comforted me instead. I didn't deserve any care, not unless I see Nadine again."No, it's not okay, it's all my fault. I should have never brought up that stupid idea" I whimpered. My sobbing seamlessly streamed and the more of how stupid I had been, the more the tears pooled out.I tugged the afghan tightly and cast a frightened look at my mom"What if Kai is too late? I will never forgive myself. " If the rogue had murdered Nadine before Kai got to her, I had a feeling I would do something to myself. And Kai would hate me forever for losing his mate and the only hope of Eden City.Kai had never spoken to me that way and I kne
Taken By The Lycan King 73: Tear him to pieces
KAIMy intuition guided me straight in the direction of Old Monroe. So did Nadine's faint scent. But most of all, the mate bond seemed to be the one driving me strongly.It was getting dark and I was at full speed, and already left a good distance with the vehicle conveying the guards. I couldn't get off the fact that the bastard had laid his hands on Nadine. I let out a fierce growl, I couldn't wait to tear him to pieces.The moment we entered the town, the smell waxed strongly and my hair was on edge. I was driving with unmetered rage. A putrid scent hit my nose and I immediately knew it was the bastards.I drove to the centre of the town where the smell reached its highest. The guards in the second vehicle got down immediately and I stopped. I checked out the buildings all around, calling out Nadine. Then it hit me, he was in a shadow.I had an inkling he was there, mocking me but I couldn't see him, not even his shadow this time around. My stomach churned as I wondered what state
Taken By The Lycan King 74: You’re safe now
KAIHis one good eye gleamed with rage as he lunged at me with his claws out. I anticipated his wacky move and jumped out of his line. I was swift and agile more than he was.I gestured to the guards to stay back. This was between me and the rogue.He growled fiercely at the miss, glaring at me and foaming at the side of his mouth. He took another swipe and viciously swiped in my direction.He missed again. I kept jumping out of his way until I could make his weakness. He could only swing as far as one eye could see.His muscles were coiled and he was always ready to swing, even half-blindly.I knew where to take him down.I grimaced at him as he gnashed his teeth after taking another miss. "Whatever breath you're taking now is your last" and he extended his claws and ran forward to slash me.Again, he missed and this time I was ready for him. I landed a huge blow to his one good eye and he writhed in pain, holding onto his eye. He staggered backwards and I extended my claws and slash

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
Taken By The Lycan King 139: Gone
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
