"Are you sure she's gonna be fine being in front of those old men?" Elias stood In Front of the board room with a concerned expression..."She'll be fine.." Nicklaus assured him..The moment the door was opened, a rowdy conversation which was going on inside could be heard..A few shareholders were displeased with Nicklaus and were having a wave of heart...Time is money in the business world and Nicklaus always arrived at a meeting late, his actions were considered rude and unacceptable but they didn't dare complain about it because he was more like a tickling bomb..Nicklaus was late deliberately and all of them knew this thanks to Elias..He was undoubtedly overbearing and rude.The twenty upset people were ready to rebuke the young President about his rudeness, despite the fact that he had the biggest share his age was still far below them or so they thought. They assumed that being young was equal to being inexperienced so it was necessary for Nicklaus to show a little bit of r
After Nicklaus took care of the shareholders, he brought Annah to dinner.The restaurant was located on the roof side of imperial High mall, very famous among socialites, the wait-list could take months..However, Nicklaus was a major shareholder at Imperial city and didn't need to go through the waitlist, he could waltz in there whenever he wanted..The VVIP booth with the best view of the city belongs to him exclusively.Just like Annah thought, Nicklaus was indeed fond of views such as this..Either it was in his bedroom, his office and now this restaurant. Nicklaus only chooses Restaurants with the best view where he could be able to observe his surroundings...The VVIP booth was cozy and screamed luxury, there was a glass door that led them to an open area but due to the weather, Nicklaus made sure the doors were shut so his fragile little woman wouldn't get cold.."It's rather too windy, I don't want you freezing." Nicklaus answered the unspoken question in Annah's eyes that wer
"Everything would be alright."while chanting those words, Annah pushed open the door that led her to the stairs..She couldn't take the elevator alone as she has a mild claustrophobia.Nicklaus always took the elevator with her so she always felt comforted but now she was all alone and didn't wanna be in a narrow space because spaces like that would make her uncomfortable with the feeling of being in confined spaces.The floors of the mansion were divided according to their ranks.The eighth floor was dedicated to the Beta and his family while the seventh floor for the Gamma and his family but since Elias and Raphael haven't found their mate, the two floors below were empty so practically there was no one.The fifth and fourth floor were for the warriors.Annah managed to go down to the fourth floor without attracting much attention.Most of the people were out doing their job and hence not many people were aware of her existence especially when her scent mixed with Nicklaus's.Two or
Even so the Lycan's red eyes were still assessing any sign of lie from him before he swept his gaze at the other side of the room and found out the other warriors whether in their human or Lycan form had done the same as Elias..After he was sure there was no threat around him, the lycan turned around and face his mate...The lycan approached her regardless of her fear. He didn't know anything else and all that he wanted was his mate but she was frightened.He retracted his claws careful enough not to scratch her skin when he touched her...However, Annah swatted his hand away when she felt something touching her due to the great horror that she just experienced. This action earned a low growl from the wolf apparently he wasn't happy with her rejection.The beast didn't realize that his mate was afraid of him as he tried to touch her again."Nicklaus, you need to shift back.." Elias's voice echoed inside Nicklaus's head .."She's scared of you." The lycan didn't answer but let out
"Alannah....." Nicklaus called out to her with a slight Trace of fatigue.He glanced at the figure under the blanket and noticed she was trembling.She was indeed afraid of his presence."I'm sorry I lost control In Front of you but unfortunately I don't regret It." He'd said that he was gonna be honest with her and that was what he was trying to do.He admitted that he didn't have a shred of regret for what he'd done.. "If I were given a chance again, I would have done the same thing without a second thought, however I do regret doing that In Front of you."The night was still as the figure of the powerful Alpha bathed in the traces of the moonlight from the second window as if the guardian was also watching his confession."I promised to do anything to protect you."Nicklaus spoke again after there was still no movement from Annah.."I won't hesitate to kill anyone who dares to hurt you." Nicklaus was blunt with his confession. He didn't want to scare Annah but with their current s
The smell of tomato sauce and grilled pork wafted in the air as a faint white smoke floated from the frying pan.Annah wiggled her legs that were dangling from the countertop where she was sitting. Her eyes attentively followed Nicklaus's every move.It's been an hour since he'd insisted on cooking for her..Nickname moved swiftly as if it wasn't his first time inside the kitchen. Nicklaus also couldn't believe he could actually cook for someone but to think he did this for his mate there was nothing to be ashamed of.He stood there with a spoon in his hand while tasting the spaghetti..He'd a serious expression on his face as he tasted his creation.."I'm sure I did it right.." he murmured to himself..The spaghetti indeed looked delicious but the taste was not so convincing..Annah jumped down from the kitchen island and approached him, she grabbed the spoon from Nicklaus's hand and tasted it herself..."Too bland right?" Nicklaus asked when he looked at the frown forming between he
Her body was stiff and numb as she sucked in a breath of cold the moment she regained consciousness..It was a dream but it felt so real.When someone hand touched her cheeks, out of instinct Annah tried to pry herself away from his clutches but he was too strong for her.Fear gripped her heart when she felt his breath on her neck as his hand around her body held her tightly but then she heard his voice.."Relax, it's me ..." Nicklaus kept repeating these words into her ear with a sense of helplessness."You're safe. It's me, I'm here.." Annah didn't realize the man who was holding her until she heard his voice as he switched on the bed lamp and his face came into light. She stopped her attempt to hit him.It was Nicklaus beside her. Everything was fine, it was only a dream."It's only a Nightmare." Nicklaus was chanting that word over and over again until she became calm.Her bright eyes scanned her surroundings immediately. She wasn't in a dark place where she couldn't see anything
Where is he?""He's in the secret room inside the library." Lillard didn't hesitate to sell out his brother as he sought out Nicklaus's sympathy."What a pathetic skinwalker.." Raphael scoffed as he stood beside Elias while staring at Lillard with disdain.."He's a shame to their race.."Lillard's betrayal wasn't a common trait for the haughty dragon shifter, seemingly he had not uphold the pride of being a dragon shifter."Indeed.." Elias replied looking at the Lycans who took the stairs to the second floor. Not many dragon shifters were living in that magnificent manor, only Lillard and a few others lived there..If Lord Narciso insisted on not making an appearance then Nicklaus wouldn't hesitate to use force after all they were no matter for him anyway...Not long after that loud bang could be heard from the second floor which only means they'd found Narciso and he decided to kick up a fuss...Lillard was still kneeling on the floor with both hands clasped together..."Would it be
