KAI
As expected, all of them fell quiet and they all turned to me with expressions full of disbelief.Even Levi sat up straighter as he looked at me with an expression I couldn't decipher."What do you mean she's your mate?" Denis asked, his tone incredulous."Exactly what it means, she's my mate, my fated one, the one I've been searching for all these years."There were collective gasps and their expressions mirrored shock and disbelief.Those two were an understatement to what I felt when I discovered that she was my mate.It was the least expected thing, something I never thought could be possible but the minute I stepped out of my hiding under the rain, the first thing that assaulted my nose was the divine and heavenly scent that was coming from her.I knew it was impossible for someone to smell that good alone and my wolf senses immediately picked up the fact that she might be our mate.Everything about her felt magical and divine and out of this world that I could see literal stars and glow emanating from her body and the closer I got to her, the more my wolf unrattle within me, the more it became more agitated with the need to claim her right on that spot.I could understand his agitation and excitement. This was someone we've been searching for all our lives and here she was, the Moon Goddess brought her to us when we least expected it.Standing close to her had neatly made me lose my focus, had nearly made me forget the reason why I was standing close to her because she was so damn pretty and the mate bond between us was so intense that I could hardly think of everything else.But eventually, I was able to infest her with the wolf venom, and that made her pass out immediately. She collapsed unto my hands and I've never been more unsettled by holding a woman close like that before.It had felt like our bodies were naked and intertwined in the deepest throes of passion.I carried her off and brought her to our world and leaving her alone in her room was a very difficult thing to do because I wanted to stay with her, I wanted to feel her skin, I wanted to get lost in her existence.I guessed that's how the mate bond works and I could only conclude that our ancestors were so lucky that all of them got to experience that mate bond."Wow, that's unbelievable," Denis gushed, "are you sure she's your mate? Is there...""Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I'm not competent enough to be able to recognize my own mate?""Of course not, Alpha, I'm just... It's just a great news, that's why and it's just... Unbelievable that after all these years, the moon goddess finally answered our prayers."That made the elders burst into boisterous cheers and excited applause and even though I tried to keep my smile at bay, I couldn't stop my lips from stretching into a smile.All these years, I've always felt less than a leader because of the impending boom that my inability to find my mate was imposing on our werewolf race but now, I had found my mate and every other thing was secondary."Congratulations, Alpha Kai," Luca congratulated me, "you've made us proud, you've saved us from going extinct."More congratulations rang out from the elders and I nodded my approval at them. It was only Levi that remained quiet and static and I guessed it was because there was nothing he'd taunt me about again. After all, he was always reminding me how I'd failed Eden City with my failure to find a mate.I genuinely think that Levi did not care that much about ceasing to exist as long as it meant I had failed.And to think things used to be so great between us.They all have dazed expressions on their faces and I can't blame them because I was sure they were all losing hope already seeing how I was already close to my 30th birthday."But a human as your mate? Who would have thought?" Luca voiced out and I agreed with him.That's what even made it very difficult for me to believe at first because it was totally baffling how a human being was my fated one but I guessed Nadine was no ordinary human seeing how the city she wanted to build in her world was really Eden City.I was completely taken aback when the document slipped out of her bag while I was placing her on the bed and I picked it up to see that exactly what Eden City looked like here was what she was building as her Eden City when I was sure that she has never seen Eden city before and she has no idea what it looks like.I knew she must have a tie to this werewolf world seeing how she's my mate and how Eden City existed in her subconscious but I had no intention of bringing that up until I confirm whatever it is by myself."I know but the ways of the Moon Goddess can never be questioned. Everything is already predestined and I'm sure everything happened so Kai can finally cross paths with her."That, I did not doubt in the slightest bit."So, what's the next step? You have to get married to her, and get her pregnant to seal the prophecy."Now, that was going to be a very big problem because I was so sure that she'd never want to have anything to do with me when she had seen my claws and my eyes change color.And this wasn't her world, I couldn't just keep her here without her permission because I didn't want our race to go extinct."I'll figure that out," I replied, standing to my feet, "right now, I have to return back home.""Yeah, of course, you have to return back to you mate," Denis smiled at me as they all nodded and I walked out of the hall.I was almost at the front door when I felt someone following me and I instantly knew who it was.Elder Luca.I turned back to him."Alpha Kai, I must say that I'm incredibly proud of you and happy that you've finally found your mate," he congratulated me sincerely, like a proud father and I nodded generously."Thank you, Elder Luca.""Yeah, I'm sure your father must be so proud of you that you've finally saved from perishing.""Hmm hmmm," I murmured. He and my dad used to be friends but then, I've always been indifferent about him."You've always been indifferent about a lot of people," my wolf reminded him and I shoved him away to the furthest part of my mind."Ohh, don't let me keep you, you have a beautiful mate to get back to."My wolf rattled at the fact that he just called our mate beautiful and I almost chuckled at how ridiculous my overreacting was."Yeah, thank you," I turned back and walked to the car pack, and as expected, Levi was leaning against my car door.Of course, he used his heightened speed to teleport here."Leave the door, I need to enter."To my utmost surprise, he moved away from the door and he even gestured for me to enter with that amused grin back on his face.I stopped."Did you mess with my brakes because you're so cooperative and you're never cooperative?""Even if I wanted to kill you, I'm going to do that in a very grand and creative way but I'm not going to do that, I need to live too, you know?""No, I don't, what I know is that even if it means you'll cease to exist, you'll be happy as long it means I'm failing too."His grin deepened and he moved closer to me, "I'm glad that you think so highly of my villains."And then he was gone, he teleported with so much speed that I barely felt him move at all and it made me shake my head because even though we were years away from high school, it still looked like Levi never truly left.I got into the car and started the ignition, heading back home to the human that'd have my head.KAIThe first place I showed up when I got back home was in Nadine's room and she was still out with the physician sitting on a chair in her room. I then went to the kitchen where Mama Teresa was cooking one of her delicious recipes to drink water. "The council must have been very happy," she said softly as I drowned a cup of water. "Happy is an understatement to what they felt when they realized that finally, there's a way out of the impending doom.""Yeah, I can imagine, after all these years, the Moon Goddess finally answered our prayers."After all these years indeed! Since the curse and prophecy were revealed to me after my eighteenth birthday by Father and the rest of the council, I initially thought it was ridiculous because we were in a modern world and mates were a thing of the past but as I grew older, I realized how dire the situation was. The existence of the entire werewolf race was solely dependent on if I found my mate. As the 21st generation of the Alpha bloodline
KAII reached her room in less than a second and Nadine was kneeling on the bed, screaming at the top of her voice and throwing everything her hands could reach to the physician. "What's going on here?" I demanded angrily, my eyes focused on the erratic lady on the bed but my words were directed at the old man."Did you do anything to hurt her?""Of course not, Alpha," he answered, "I'd never. She regained consciousness and I was still checking her vitals when she suddenly start to scream at the top of her lungs."That was expected.I started to walk towards her and she threw a pillow that I barely felt at me."Get out!" she yelled, "you spineless disgusting animal, leave me alone!""Y'all should get out," I ordered the physician and Mama Teresa and Sara that had followed me here and they all obeyed."You need to calm down, Nadine, I promise I'm not going to hurt you," I raised my hand in surrender but that didn't stop her shrieking. "You're not going to hurt me?" she asked incredul
NADINE“YOU MUST BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!”I screamed at the top of my voice but the fucker didn't even as much blink. “You hear me, you must be a joker to tell me that? What? I'm your mate? Mate? What’s that even supposed to mean?”He opened his mouth to talk but I held up a hand to stop.“You know what? I'm not interested, you just have to let me go right now. And I mean right now!” I started to sidestep him to get to the door but of course, he grabbed my hand and successfully stopped me from walking away.He pulled me back and he had an almost apologetic look on his face as he bite his lower lip slowly as if he was feeling nervous. My eyes latched on the movement of the tip of his pink tongue as it swept over his full lower lip and I felt my body heat up as my thoughts suddenly started going haywire. Jesus Christ! What's wrong with me? Why am I noticing that about this animal-man that kidnapped me and brought me to God knows where?“Listen Nadine, I know this is all shades of rid
NADINEI paced back and forth in the room before finally collapsing on the sofa. There was no way out of this misery and it seems like I was really locked up by that deranged psychopath. While I was sitting and thinking of what I can do to get myself out of this mess, an idea popped into my mind and I quickly fished out my phone from my back intending to call one of my teammates and alert them of my dire situation but to my utmost surprise, there was no network, no even the slightest one and it wouldn't pop up no matter how much I jumped around or what surface I climb. I tried to check the date on my calendar but it seems like all the apps on my phone were barely functioning again and the thought that I was really trapped in an alternate universe dawned on me again. But was that really possible? Another world with a werewolf race? How ridiculous does that even sound? I wasn't even sure how many days have passed since I was brought here and I could only imagine how they would be
KAI"She still isn't eating anything," Sara announced from the door of my office and my head jerked up from the document I was going over. "And at this rate, she might even pass out before you get anything done."Something ticked in my jaws and my fists clenched. I understand why she was acting up and I hated the fact I was the one that put her in this situation but acting like a child and intentionally starving herself wasn't it and I wasn't going to condone it. When Sara first told me that she wasn't eating anything yesterday, I had waved it off that she was going to come around but it seems she wanted to see it to the end. I pushed my chair back and stood up. "Is there any food with her now?""Yeah, I just dropped her dinner off.""Good! I'll take care of it."I walked out of my room and started walking towards her room which was on a floor below me and instinctively, I paused when I got to her door and took in deep breaths. The thought of seeing her again...I pushed the door
NADINEAll my thoughts turned to mush when he pulled me into his lap and for the briefest minute, I couldn't process a thing. When the enormity of what was happening dawned on me, I started squirming and clawing to get off his lap which proved to be an impossible task because even though he just had to hold my wrist with just his hand, I couldn't break free. "You have to let me go," I told him, trying go sound as stern as possible and to ignore what I was feeling with being this close to him. He didn't reply immediately and when I turned back to him, he seemed to be in some sort of physical distress with how his jaws were tightly clenched and his eyes were darker than normal. What the... what's going on? "Open up," he ordered gruffly, an edge to his voice and my core clenched as my brain interpreted what he just said in another context entirely. "I'm not," I replied him, crossing my hands over my chest defiantly and when his eyes followed that movement, I noticed just how wrong
KAIFuck! I all but ran out of Nadine's room.I've always prided myself on being rational and resilient to whatever temptation comes my way but that situation in there was getting too much for me to handle. Putting her on my lap and force-feeding her was a mistake. I should have never even considered the option of putting her on my lap. Fine, It got her to eat which was the most important thing here but it also messed with my sanity because being that close to her, I've never wanted a girl more than I wanted her. I was too close to her neck and her scent overwhelmed my nose, making it almost impossible to resist her.God! I've never wanted anything more than to bare her skin to me and mark her with my teeth and lips.It took all my willpower not to sink my teeth into her neck and mark her right there. I wanted to take her right there and then. The only thing that stopped me from doing so, was the fact that I knew if I even tried to kiss her, she would scream the house down and prob
KAIMy first stop when I woke up the next morning was Nadine’s room and it was only after I was in front of her door that I stopped and mentally prepared myself for being in the same space as her. I couldn't believe that I had been reduced to this but I had to do it if I didn't want to lose control of my senses by just being in the same room with her. It was that bad.I knocked on the door even though I knew she was a stronghead and would never reply and I gave her a couple of minutes before pushing the door opened. She was standing in front of the top to floor window and looking out at the city below. “Good morning, I trust that you slept well?”I didn't get a reply from her, her body features didn't even give it away that she knew I was in the room with her but I knew that she knew and that she was only just pretending. “We're going out for shopping after breakfast, just wanted to tell you so you'll get ready.”Again, I got no reply from her.Not like I was expecting her to rep
