NADINEI could feel warmth all around me, the bed was so soft that I found myself snuggling and wanting to disappear into it. It was that soft. The pillows were comfy too and I sighed at how comfortable it was as I pulled it closer to myself. This was the kind of bedding that'd make one wish they could sleep forever and that's what I wanted at the moment. But work... I just got the approval for my lifelong project. My eyes popped open immediately after that thought came to my mind and I stood up with a start. Why did I have to sleep in late when I should have been the first person to get to work?I started to make a beeline for the bathroom only to stop dead in my tracks as I looked around the unfamiliar bedroom. It wasn't my room. I wasn't in my room. Panic surged through my body as the events of last night came flooding into my mind. The approval, the team hang out, the rain, the highway, my car getting spoilt, and the stranger that had stopped to help me. But it wasn't to
NADINEI couldn't stop laughing. Was I that excited about the prospect of Eden City becoming a reality that I was really dreaming about it? Because this must be a dream. I was dreaming about Eden City and this ridiculously hot male because I'd been starved of men and the subconscious part of my brain was reminding me of what I was missing in my dream.He was still looking at me with that piercing eyes of his that almost seemed like he was undressing my soul with his eyes and my laughter subconsciously trailed off as I straightened up. "So... Urhmm, we're in Eden City, right?" I asked him when he obviously wasn't sharing in my humor because he wasn't smiling, just looking at me blankly."Yeah."Another laughter bubbled up my throat and I had to bite my lower lip to stop the laughter from deepening. "So, we're in a city that's not on the map, a city that doesn't even exist yet, a city that just exists in my head and on paper."With that, a muscle ticked in his jaw, and an expression
KAIA day later, I was in the council of elders again.They've been asking for my presence and calling for a meeting since I brought Nadine to Eden City but things had to be done properly. I couldn't just attend to them when I was yet to explain to Nadine what she was doing in Eden City.And God! That explanation had unfolded in a way I wasn't expecting it to at all. I know it was going to be ridiculous, telling her about the werewolf world that'd cease to exist if her project was commissioned but saying it out loud and watching all the expressions on her face had made it much more ridiculous. I knew she was going to believe me that easily and the plan was to let her slowly come to terms with it but those kids just happened to be shifting right there on the street in broad daylight and as if seeing them was not enough, I was just stupid enough to let my anger get my claws out and changed my eyes color and the minute she saw that, she paled completely before she took a step back from
KAIAs 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 lit
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
