EMILYAfter shutting the door on Levi, I released the breath I had been holding in since Levi informed me about someone invoking some dark magic.Immediately, a burst of eerie laughter resounded around the house. I turned back to see the man who was bent on tormenting me and blowing my cover.His round face was viciously scarred and his bald head made him a lot more sinister. His eyes were bloodshot and seemed to penetrate my soul anytime he set on them.He wore ratchet-looking pants with several patches and open holes which showed his seemingly scarred body. He was shirtless and looked menacing with slash scars all over his torso.The huge broken shackles on his feet clanged loudly as he moved his dirty feet around my living room.I had brought it all on myself. Knowing I was only in need of the materials for the ritual gave me an edge and I had dug into the archives of my wolf clan for the resurrecting ritual.Resurrecting the wolf rogues had been the best idea I could come up with
SARAIt had been two days after Adam had given me my electrifying first kiss and suddenly, he went MIA. I didn't catch him working out in the gym or sitting by the gazebos, working on his laptop.After dinner the other day, I had expected him to show up for breakfast the next morning but he had been nowhere to be found.And I couldn't dare to go back to his apartment, I didn't know exactly why but I doubted he would allow me in. An opportunity came for me to meet him when Kai came down for breakfast and asked about my preparation for school resumption. I had mentioned to him I was yet to get everything I needed. Without hesitation, he had mind-linked Adam to come take me to the mall to get my school stuff.My heart had lurched the moment he told me Adam was going to be driving me to the mall. We were both going to be alone in the car. I was both excited and scared at the prospect of being inside the same space with him.Everything about Adam to me had changed after the first kiss. I
ADAMEver since Sara had looked so wired and bolted out of my apartment, her lips, her scent, and her skin was everything I could think of. Every effort to get her off my mind proved futile.I cursed myself for daring to have a taste of her, how had I let my desire take control of me?Now I wanted more desperately.The sweetness of her tongue was exotic and for me practically obliterated, delirious for her whole body. Something wild began growing in me and it was only her that could fill the space, that could make my heated body calm.That kiss had been liberating but it had felt like the tip of the iceberg.I needed to feel her skin against mine again, wrap my arms around her curves, plant hungry kisses all over her body, and hold her body in worship while she moaned my name over and over again with her luscious lips.My mind couldn't focus on anything else aside from Sara and it hit me harder and harder. I had jerked off to her after she ran away from my apartment. I had been mad
NADINESomething was up with Kai. I could feel it but I couldn't just place what exactly it was.I had held on to the thoughts of him finally acting like the arrogant prick he was. But he had been more distant and seemed to be avoiding me ever since he left my room speechless and forlorn that night.I had admitted I didn't give a fuck about him, that I didn't love him and his face had become a mask of disappointment laced with heavy sobriety. He was the last person I expected to have such a reaction. His stoic stern face had fallen and looked so defeated and I could shake his face off my mind that night.He hadn't desisted from the gentlemanly things he does for me. He still opened the car door for me, still sent my meal to my office at lunch, and made me the first one to enter the elevator. But his words with me were absent. He only gave curt replies when I asked him about anything.He nodded slightly instead of greeting me warmly like I was used to when he saw me in the morning and
NADINEA distressed silence hung in the air inside the car with it mostly steaming from me as we drove back home. Occasionally, the silence was interjected with my attention-grabbing heavy sighs which had been stimulated due to my lightly spent self.But Kai acted totally oblivious, sternly concentrating on a document on his phone and didn't bat an eyelid nor look towards my side.The thought of the woman who had entered his house strode into my mind and I fought the immense urge to ask him about her and what she came for.I didn't know what to expect from him, he was seemingly unpredictable.I decided to bring up another topic, I just couldn't handle the unusual silence. I cleared my throat, anticipating what his reaction would be this time."I noticed some discrepancies in the files of the Shawn Mall sent to me this afternoon, I was hoping you would also notice it?" I raised an eyebrow, turning my side completely to him"No, I didn't" His reply was short, his voice taut, he didn't
NADINEMy mind was bombarded with a million thoughts. What was going to happen?Kai had just told me he would take me back to my world, he had become so vulnerable like I had never seen him before, which had made my heart break but I had been too shocked to say a word.And now, I was eventually going back home. In thirty-five days.I was not the least thrilled. I had longed so long for this day. I had worked out so many plans of escaping and had eventually stuck to me getting close to the family.All my efforts to get close to Sara and Mama Teresa had succeeded, Kai had allowed me to work in his company and I had started the most mind-blowing sex ever with him, only for him to place my return on the table after I had denied loving him.I kneaded my temple as I thought about it. It was surreal, like something I hadn't been expecting for a long time. When I thought of it, Crescent Valley actually looked like a blur.It seemed far away like a vacation site you only got to go to when you
KAII knew their eyes were trained on me with shock but I had nothing to say to anyone. Nadine was going back, whether they wanted it or not.I took a few bites more in my meal before rising, ignoring their faces, and going straight to my study. I could hear Sara's resounding no as I took the stairs. I blocked out the conversation that had begun to take over at the dining table.It wasn't easy for me either. It was one decision that had taken me time to make ever since Nadine told me she didn't want me to my face.And I had still begged her in the car, explaining to her why I needed her to stay behind and she couldn't even give me a reply. No matter how much I tried, she never seemed to understand why she needed to stay.And it was no use holding her down, the prophecy was prone to come true. She wouldn't reciprocate my love if I kept her down in Eden City, it makes no difference. She had better go to where she felt more fulfilled.But I couldn't handle it. She had tried various tim
NADINEI watched Sara storm frantically towards the stairs minutes after Kai and quickly finished off my meal before Mama Teresa held me down with questions as she was already staring at me with deep curiosity.Kai was going to do the explaining since he cared to drop the news right in the middle of dinner. I was going to bed early, I wasn't going to entertain any questions whatsoever.This had come as a shock to me too, and I needed to think it through.That was all I wished while I settled into my bed when I heard a knock on my door and without the person waiting for an answer, she barged into the room. I sighed loudly.Sara moved close to the foot of my bed, looking so hapless and nonplussed."I don't get it, was Kai really telling the truth?" She questioned, her arms flung down by her sides."I guess he is," I drawled, pressing down the sheets to avoid Sara's gaze. She rubbed a palm over her face and closed her eyes briefly before breathing out slowly. I could swear I heard a sni
