The dungeon where Skylar was being held was an hour away from starlight village..Nicklaus took his Gamma and a warrior with him... He left Annah with Elias since he was only the second person she was comfortable with and also the Lycan he trusts the most...Annah insisted on coming with him because she doesn't wanna be alone with people she's unfamiliar with but of course he couldn't possibly bring her to a place like the dungeon which wasn't a place for a fragile human like her...But of course Annah was Abit persistent and went to the grand floor with him to the parking lot."You should stay with Elias, I'll just take care of something.." Nicklaus pinched her cheeks softly..Annah just stayed that way staring at him with a frown...."If you wanna go anywhere, Celine can accompany you." Nicklaus glanced at Celine who was leaning against the wall with an unfathomable expression...He doesn't want her to stay trapped and bored inside the mansion because he might take some time to re

"Stop ogling at me, short tips." Nicklaus suddenly lifted his head and stared at the little woman at the doorway..He has felt her gaze since a minute ago, usually he would feel repulsive every time a woman looked at him that way but with Annah, he doesn't mind if she swallows him whole with her eyes..."I don't know what you're talking about." She rushed back into the bathroom in embarrassment and shut the door pretty loud...She leaned against the door and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart before taking off her clothes...Annah walked outta the bathroom after freshening up and lowered her head shyly.She was caught staring at him, it was so embarrassing for anyone who got caught doing such a thing."Come over here, I wanna see you in that dress." Nicklaus sat down on the couch with his legs crossed with his eyes on her....He grabbed hold of her hand when she got closer to him..The comparison between the two was obvious, he was big on built and callous while Annah looked

"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

"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

"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
