Taken By The Lycan King 77: Start Work
KAIDays after I had almost lost Nadine to the crazy rogue, I still had my guard up. I couldn't afford to leave her out of my sight for long whenever I was around the castle. Catching her scent before and after going to work was becoming a daily ritual I didn't want to break out from.Most times, the fleeting thought of Nadine's piercing scream back at Old Monroe riled me up and I felt the immense urge to kill the rogue over and over again.His cowardice had amused me and I felt stupid knowing he wasn't the real rogue I had thought he was and I had spent all my days finding new ways to disable his supposed powers. When I couldn't easily snap his body in half.But Nadine was safe and sound, that was all that matters and I intended to keep it so. If something else should happen to her, I would never forgive myself.But back in the council meeting, I could swear they didn't give too much thought to the incident of the rogue and him almost murdering Nadine rather than putting a baby insid

ADAMImmediately I swerved the car into the garage, Kai bolted out and strode hastily towards the main building. I wondered what he could be so eager to do that got him all wired up.I headed for my apartment as the conversation in the car played out in my mind.It was one of the stiffening drives I rarely had with Kai. Kai really asked about my sex life. Why was he asking me if I was seeing somebody? My heart did a double take whether he had seen through my brooding camouflage.And to think he was thanking me profusely for protecting Sara and serving as a big brother to her. Hell, I didn't want to be put in the brother title with Sara.I was doing more than my bodyguard duties inwardly.I inhaled sharply as Sara's image came flooding into my mind. I felt guilty and wondered whether Kai knew even a tiny fraction of the things I wanted to do to his sister.Every time I had gotten into a row with Sara felt like an arrow driven through my chest. I had been trying my best to mask any iota

NADINE"You've got nothing formal here, not one piece of clothing" Sara blurted out, hand on her chin with eyes scanning my wardrobe meticulously. This was the second time we were hauling out my wardrobe for something formal.When Kai informed me I could come to his place of work, I couldn't hide my satisfaction. Even though I had tried to hide it perfectly from him, my face betrayed me and he had that stupid smirk on his face. That jerk!I had been more than happy I was eventually going to leave the house. I knew Kai's eyes had been around the house, subtly checking up on me but I ignored him as usual.It was the start of a new beginning, I wondered what role I would be assigned to me and daydreamed about the boss outfits I would be dressing up in.But I had gotten more informal clothes than I thought, who wears ball gowns and sweatpants to work? Especially an ambitious bubbling young lady like I am."I had no idea things would turn out this way, I was thinking of a future as a pri

NADINEI was barely awake when my door was swiftly flung open by Sara. I lazily opened my eyes. What could she be excited about? it wasn't even dawn yet.She paused as she saw me on the bed wrapped in my duvet "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still in bed" She pouted, "I just wanted to come help you dress up for work"Wait…work? How the hell did I forget?It was the day Kai was taking me to his company and I was sleeping like a sloth. The memories of going to work back at Crescent Valley swept their way into my mind.The way I would slam the alarm clock shut after it had successfully woken me up, the sluggish motions between brushing my teeth, going for a jog before eating breakfast and still managing to get to Andron homes with a cup of hot coffee in hand before 9 am.It was rinse and repeat but I enjoyed my work even though I seldom had episodes where I just wanted to quit everything.But I knew I had to stay afloat one way or the other and achieve whatever I had in mind for my li

SARAI stared out the wide kitchen windows and hummed a melody since my mom had decided to shut me out after blurting out that she needed me to put a hold on my talking to her. I found it dejected.She shut me up just like when I was about telling the new restaurant that had just opened next to the mall.My heart lurched for Nadine's presence. If she was home, she would definitely listen to everything I had to say and would even ask questions about it, even if she seemed somehow uninterested.I didn't realise I was going to miss her this much after she started work at Kai's company. I felt a part of me leave when she waved me goodbye every morning.I had chosen to spend the day either helping my mom - who claimed she didn't need me around - or staying up in my room and watching videos on nail design.I wanted the best for Nadine but I felt a little abandoned, I was beginning to forget how life had been since Nadine came to Eden. And I didn't want to ever go back there. She was becomin

NADINEWorking at Cruz was just like something out of my daily business back at Crescent Valley, but a lot more better. Waking up and preparing for work appeared just like the normal routine look, but a little easier over in Eden.I couldn't believe I was this happy to go to work, to actually do the things I have always envisioned for myself.It was easy, Sara coming in to wake me and pick my outfits for the day, eating breakfast with or without Kai, and jumping into the car with Kai -who let me know we would always leave the house together every day - and heading to the most comforting room Kai called my office which was unfortunately directly linked to his.My room was more spacious than my apartment back in my world and had a large whiteboard for brainstorming and mind mapping and a side room for VR reality tools for a full 3D walk-through of a concept design.I felt like it was all a dream. I sat by Kai in meetings and all the workers looked up to me like a boss, entertaining my s

EMILYMy lower lip stung the moment my teeth cut through flesh and I tasted something metallic. This was the third time that week I was unconsciously biting down my lip when total distress found its way to me.The distress that had been hovering around me ever since that thing Kai called his mate stepped foot in Eden CityMy entire planned-out future was bleaking right in front of me and I couldn't seem to handle its reins anymore. It had been weeks of turning down jobs and hiding myself away in my apartment.It was stupid of me, staying indoors and drinking when I was supposed to be out there making waves and giving Kai a thousand reasons why I was supposed to be by his side.I had decided I was going to get myself now, I broke out the indoors sentence I had given myself and started running my stuff and I should have never done that.Running into Nadine at the cloth store was the first time I had decided to get some air after basking in solitude for days. My mind bitterly raced when

NADINEI sat on my bed on a late evening, taking notes of the meetings we had had for the new project at work. My idea had been the go-ahead sign to begin work on it and I was fully in charge of the project.Handling a whole project was terrifying and huge but I needed to stay in control and get myself together. I wasn't going to give it all the best I could.As I strolled on my phone, researching some materials, my eyes caught something and an idea strode into my mind. I stood up hurriedly. This was something I needed to tell someone quickly. Damn, wish ideas could come at a beckon.I knew I had to inform Kai since he was the closest person around that could understand its importance. I groaned as I tried to convince myself I would remember tomorrow morning but I knew I was only fooling myself. I wouldn't be at peace until it left my mind.I sauntered through the empty hallway toward Kai's room. I did a little rap on the door before pushing the door open and I instantly regretted m

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

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

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
