NoraIt has been four days since Klaus proposed to me. We have been living together in my house. He leaves in the morning to go about his business and comes back at night. I find myself every evening looking forward to having him back home.My heart longs for him. This has thrown me into a dilemma because I know I should not be feeling this way. It has completely distracted me from my mission. Klaus was already getting ready to leave the house when the doorbell rang.He glanced at me from the mirror where he stood, wearing his tie.“Are you expecting anyone?” he asked.I shook my head, “No.” I wasn't expecting anyone, besides, it was too early for someone to visit.When the bell rang again, I rose from the bed, letting go of the bedsheet that was wrapped around my body and catching Klaus’ smile as he stared at my naked body through the mirror. That simple act of his caused my nipples to harden and my core to clench with desire. Damn! It is quite surprising how lusty I have become the
KlausIt has really been a week of bliss for me. Spending time with Nora, bonding with her daily for the past seven days, has been the best moment of my life. I was scared the day I wanted to propose to her. What if she rejected my proposal? What if she made an excuse as to why this wasn't the right time? I had my fears and for very good reason too. Our past was not particularly pleasant, and since then, a lot has happened, like her getting involved with a very good-looking man. Two days ago, when he came to the house and found Nora and me together, I felt a pang of jealousy. It was obvious he had a better history with Nora than I did, and I feared she might rethink everything if she had a moment with him. That was why I canceled my business appointment that day. I didn’t want to leave her sight and give her time and space to reconsider both relationships and decide which was a better fit.When Frank left that day, Nora was so gloomy. She told me she needed space, and I respected t
KlausI glanced at Justin as he took another long drag of the cigar, smoke slowly escaping his lips.“Speak, man, I am listening…what's the message?”My father is a very proud man. Ever since I left the house a week ago, he is yet to call me. I know his ego wouldn't let him, but I had no doubt he had been keeping tabs on me through Justin.“Well, he said to ask you to come back home as you have a wedding to attend in a week,” Justin sniggered, his chest rising and falling as he went full blown and laughed uncontrollably.“Don't piss me off, man!” I snarled angrily.When he recovered from his laughter, he clapped my shoulder. “Hey man, you know whose side I am always on, regardless of what your father says,” he grinned.I looked away and gulped down the remainder of my drink, pouring yet another into my glass. That burn had just the degree of fire my body needed at that moment. I was a bit angry and irritated that my father was still insisting on the marriage. Doesn't he get it? I am
NoraI stared at the woman for a very long time in shock as though she was a ghost. How? Just how was someone who looked exactly like my late mother standing in front of me? Did someone conjure her from the dead? Was this some kind of magic? Did my mother have a doppelganger? These were questions that spiraled through my mind as I looked at her.Her eyes flickered around as though she was being cautious of her environment and didn't want to be seen by anyone.When they refocused on me, she rolled her shoulders and maintained a grim expression as she said, “I know you must be wondering who I am and why I look just like your mother.”I kept my gaze on her, too stunned to give her an answer.When she saw how dumbfounded I was, she sighed, “I am your mother's younger sister, Katherine.”My brows furrowed in confusion. My mum had told me she had a younger sister, but she also mentioned that she had suddenly disappeared and was believed to be dead by everyone. Before my mum died, she was t
NoraAunt Katherine glanced at me and then at the door. The knock came again, and I rose to my feet.“Wait, Nora!” Aunt Katherine said, halting me. “Do you know who that is? Is it someone you trust?”I glanced at the door again. Suddenly, a thought came to me. Klaus has a spare key; I had given it to him a day after he proposed. If that was him at the door, he would have already unlocked it and come in. My tense nerves eased a bit. I had wanted to go and tell him to find somewhere around and hide as this wasn't a good time. I could not risk him meeting my aunt; there would be absolute chaos if that happened.I nodded my head and smiled at my aunt. If it wasn't Klaus, it could only be Grace or Beta Ken. They were the only other people who had ever come to my house since I got back.“It is just my friend or her dad. You don't have to worry; they are very good friends of ours,” I assured her.She sighed and nodded. I went to the door and opened it. Grace walked in with so much energy as
NoraKlaus and I were in my house when he got a call from his best friend, Justin. From the look on his face, whatever they were discussing was quite serious. I had my eyes fixed on him and watched him sit upright on the bed.Klaus hung up and stared at me, rising from the bed with speed, rushing towards the wardrobe. “I need to leave, Nora.”“Why?” I asked in surprise, covering the sheets around my naked body.“My father is on his way here as we speak.”I jerked up from the bed myself. “What?”He pulled his pants up hurriedly. “I need to be as far away from here as possible right now”.I got out of bed, trying to make sense of all that was going on. Alpha Raphael is on his way here? Holy cow!I went to the couch and picked up my clothes, putting them on as I asked, “It is about your wedding, isn't it?”“Why else would he be on his way here, Nora? The wedding is supposed to happen in two days. He plans to drag me back home in time for it, like I am some piece of meat that can be tosse
NoraBeta Ken walked around me and stood in front, challengingly, as he stared daggers at Alpha Raphael. Just one look at him, and one could tell he was full of extreme resentment towards the Alpha.Alpha Raphael narrowed his eyes as though he wondered what gave Beta Ken the effrontery to confront him in that manner.“You are on our land, Alpha Raphael, unannounced so to speak,” he tilted his head towards me and then back at the Alpha. “It is my duty to protect my Alpha from uninvited visitors.” He dragged out the word "Alpha" for emphasis.“Alpha?” Alpha Raphael was a bit puzzled as he looked behind Beta Ken at me. “Who made a lady an Alpha?” he glanced up at Beta Ken, who let out a soft growl.“She is the leader of our pack, hence she is our Alpha…There is no law that states a woman can't be an Alpha!” His voice was laced with rage as he spoke. The only other two times I have seen Beta Ken as angry as he was now were on the day I had come back after my parents died and also on the
NoraI recognized it instantly. It belonged to Frank. What was he doing here, and how did he even know I was in trouble? I turned to Grace and saw the excitement on her face. I instantly knew she had a hand in all this.Damn! That was why she asked me how much more time we had before Alpha Raphael and his men's arrival.The cars came to a stop just in front of the house. The men in the first car alighted, and one of them immediately rushed to the passenger side of the second car and opened the door. Frank stepped out. He looked so dapper and handsome. He scanned all the faces like a king arriving at his banquet. He had an unmistakable aura of power and nobility about him.He advanced towards us and halted just as soon as he got to where we were.“What the hell is going on here?” His cold, menacing tone filled the atmosphere.Alpha Raphael, seeing this as a showdown, inquired, “And who are you supposed to be?”I decided to take control of the situation, fearing that Frank might reveal
