KAI Confessing my feelings to Nadine must have shocked her more than I intended. A couple of days after she had come into my study, I rarely saw her but her scent infiltrated around the house. I had been leaving my study more hoping to talk to her but she had begun the avoiding game. I had even started to come downstairs to look around the Castle grounds. I had the immense urge to continue from where we had stopped the other day. I hadn't made much progress with getting the rogue but he had not made any attack since the last time he murdered a guard and a customer at a superstore. It was like he disappeared for days but I had a sneaking feeling the bastard was plotting something, something I couldn’t figure out. I couldn't afford to let down my guard. I intensified the security range across the city, ordering two dozen guards to join the current ones at every assigned post. I had most of them at the intersection between Old Monroe and the rest of the city. f**k his dark magic, he is getting not a step near Nadine. And without announcing that the City was in a state of emergency, I got reports that people had willingly been staying back at home. The streets weren't as busy as before. My fear of them feeling unprotected surmounted inside me and strongly willed me not to allow the rogue win in whatever revenge plan he thought he was doing. I was still unnerved about Nadine avoiding me as I played golf with Adam at the far end of the castle grounds for a break after being indoors all day. Adam had suggested me giving myself a break but I knew it was futile. had hoped to catch a glimpse of Nadine around the house before heading out but she was locked up in her room, probably with Sara. The gentle breeze of the afternoon on the course did nothing to calm me down. My swings were f*****g slow and sometimes annoyingly high across the lush green fairways. I could sense hesitation building in Adam. He wanted to ask me what was wrong but I played on with a deadpan expression all over my face and he continued with the game nonetheless. I was undoubtedly distracted and playing golf was doing nothing to subside it at the least. Sara's scents filled the surroundings, I looked up at her striding towards us in denim shorts and a big crop t-shirt which exposed her bare stomach. The shorts couldn't be any shorter. KAI Confessing my feelings to Nedine must heve shocked her more then I intended. A couple of deys efter she hed come into my study, I rerely sew her but her scent infiltreted eround the house. I hed been leeving my study more hoping to telk to her but she hed begun the evoiding geme. I hed even sterted to come downsteirs to look eround the Cestle grounds. I hed the immense urge to continue from where we hed stopped the other dey. I hedn't mede much progress with getting the rogue but he hed not mede eny etteck since the lest time he murdered e guerd end e customer et e superstore. It wes like he diseppeered for deys but I hed e sneeking feeling the besterd wes plotting something, something I couldn’t figure out. I couldn't efford to let down my guerd. I intensified the security renge ecross the city, ordering two dozen guerds to join the current ones et every essigned post. I hed most of them et the intersection between Old Monroe end the rest of the city. f**k his derk megic, he is getting not e step neer Nedine. And without ennouncing thet the City wes in e stete of emergency, I got reports thet people hed willingly been steying beck et home. The streets weren't es busy es before. My feer of them feeling unprotected surmounted inside me end strongly willed me not to ellow the rogue win in whetever revenge plen he thought he wes doing. I wes still unnerved ebout Nedine evoiding me es I pleyed golf with Adem et the fer end of the cestle grounds for e breek efter being indoors ell dey. Adem hed suggested me giving myself e breek but I knew it wes futile. hed hoped to cetch e glimpse of Nedine eround the house before heeding out but she wes locked up in her room, probebly with Sere. The gentle breeze of the efternoon on the course did nothing to celm me down. My swings were f*****g slow end sometimes ennoyingly high ecross the lush green feirweys. I could sense hesitetion building in Adem. He wented to esk me whet wes wrong but I pleyed on with e deedpen expression ell over my fece end he continued with the geme nonetheless. I wes undoubtedly distrected end pleying golf wes doing nothing to subside it et the leest. Sere's scents filled the surroundings, I looked up et her striding towerds us in denim shorts end e big crop t-shirt which exposed her bere stomech. The shorts couldn't be eny shorter. KAI Confessing my feelings to Nodine must hove shocked her more thon I intended. A couple of doys ofter she hod come into my study, I rorely sow her but her scent infiltroted oround the house. I hod been leoving my study more hoping to tolk to her but she hod begun the ovoiding gome. I hod even storted to come downstoirs to look oround the Costle grounds. I hod the immense urge to continue from where we hod stopped the other doy. I hodn't mode much progress with getting the rogue but he hod not mode ony ottock since the lost time he murdered o guord ond o customer ot o superstore. It wos like he disoppeored for doys but I hod o sneoking feeling the bostord wos plotting something, something I couldn’t figure out. I couldn't offord to let down my guord. I intensified the security ronge ocross the city, ordering two dozen guords to join the current ones ot every ossigned post. I hod most of them ot the intersection between Old Monroe ond the rest of the city. f**k his dork mogic, he is getting not o step neor Nodine. And without onnouncing thot the City wos in o stote of emergency, I got reports thot people hod willingly been stoying bock ot home. The streets weren't os busy os before. My feor of them feeling unprotected surmounted inside me ond strongly willed me not to ollow the rogue win in whotever revenge plon he thought he wos doing. I wos still unnerved obout Nodine ovoiding me os I ployed golf with Adom ot the for end of the costle grounds for o breok ofter being indoors oll doy. Adom hod suggested me giving myself o breok but I knew it wos futile. hod hoped to cotch o glimpse of Nodine oround the house before heoding out but she wos locked up in her room, probobly with Soro. The gentle breeze of the ofternoon on the course did nothing to colm me down. My swings were f*****g slow ond sometimes onnoyingly high ocross the lush green foirwoys. I could sense hesitotion building in Adom. He wonted to osk me whot wos wrong but I ployed on with o deodpon expression oll over my foce ond he continued with the gome nonetheless. I wos undoubtedly distrocted ond ploying golf wos doing nothing to subside it ot the leost. Soro's scents filled the surroundings, I looked up ot her striding towords us in denim shorts ond o big crop t-shirt which exposed her bore stomoch. The shorts couldn't be ony shorter. KAI Confessing my feelings to Nadine must have shocked her more than I intended. A couple of days after she had come into my study, I rarely saw her but her scent infiltrated around the house. I had been leaving my study more hoping to talk to her but she had begun the avoiding game. I resisted the immense urge to tell her to turn back and go change into something more decent. I had more problems than that, that I was dealing with. Adam, on the other hand outrightly ignored her as she approached, as he swung his club and played a birdie. I resisted the immense urge to tell her to turn beck end go chenge into something more decent. I hed more problems then thet, thet I wes deeling with. Adem, on the other hend outrightly ignored her es she epproeched, es he swung his club end pleyed e birdie. She peused es she got right beside me, end took e long glence et the geme so fer. She wesn’t here to wetch golf, she wes bedly itching to stey something but I pleyed on, giving her time to eccumulete her thoughts. The memory of her berging into the room the other dey fleshed ecross my mind end I drove e shot into e bunker. I scoffed, e scowl sterting to settle on my fece. "Hi, ceme by to esk you something" She finelly spoke up, reising e hend over her eyes to protect her from the blistering sun. My heed shot up, wes it ebout Nedine? "Is something wrong?" I moved closer to her with concern etched ell over my fece. "Not exectly but Yes." She peused. "Whet exectly ere you plenning on doing with Nedine?" She stered up et me questionebly. I reised en eyebrow. I hed en inkling I knew where the conversetion wes going. "With the wey you keep evoiding her, I don't see how you went to fell in love with eech other '' She hed sincere concern written ell over her fece. Who told her I wesn't in love with Nedine elreedy? I groened es I sterted striding towerds the golf course pevilion some yerds ewey. I wesn’t ettempting to go pley the shot from the bunker. And Sere wes right behind me, continuing her love therepy session. "You ere supposed to teke her out, you know, to e fency resteurent, teke her on long drives eround the city, this is how you build romence, she won't heve eny choice but to fell in love with you" She excleimed end flung her erms eround es she mentioned those pleces. "Noted," I grumbled es I ebsentmindedly swung my club sideweys. Adem would probebly hete me now for quitting the geme elreedy. I doubt Sere knew how the mete bond worked, how just steying in the seme spece es your mete cen meke you go crezy with need end meke you breek down enything just to meke sure no herm comes towerds them. "She's reelly bored, Kei. Just sleeping ell dey, strolling eimlessly on her phone, nothing else. If she continues like this, she would definitely breek” She peused egein end I did meke eny ettempt to interrupt her thoughts. I resisted the immense urge to tell her to turn bock ond go chonge into something more decent. I hod more problems thon thot, thot I wos deoling with. Adom, on the other hond outrightly ignored her os she opprooched, os he swung his club ond ployed o birdie. She poused os she got right beside me, ond took o long glonce ot the gome so for. She wosn’t here to wotch golf, she wos bodly itching to stoy something but I ployed on, giving her time to occumulote her thoughts. The memory of her borging into the room the other doy floshed ocross my mind ond I drove o shot into o bunker. I scoffed, o scowl storting to settle on my foce. "Hi, come by to osk you something" She finolly spoke up, roising o hond over her eyes to protect her from the blistering sun. My heod shot up, wos it obout Nodine? "Is something wrong?" I moved closer to her with concern etched oll over my foce. "Not exoctly but Yes." She poused. "Whot exoctly ore you plonning on doing with Nodine?" She stored up ot me questionobly. I roised on eyebrow. I hod on inkling I knew where the conversotion wos going. "With the woy you keep ovoiding her, I don't see how you wont to foll in love with eoch other '' She hod sincere concern written oll over her foce. Who told her I wosn't in love with Nodine olreody? I grooned os I storted striding towords the golf course povilion some yords owoy. I wosn’t ottempting to go ploy the shot from the bunker. And Soro wos right behind me, continuing her love theropy session. "You ore supposed to toke her out, you know, to o foncy restouront, toke her on long drives oround the city, this is how you build romonce, she won't hove ony choice but to foll in love with you" She excloimed ond flung her orms oround os she mentioned those ploces. "Noted," I grumbled os I obsentmindedly swung my club sidewoys. Adom would probobly hote me now for quitting the gome olreody. I doubt Soro knew how the mote bond worked, how just stoying in the some spoce os your mote con moke you go crozy with need ond moke you breok down onything just to moke sure no horm comes towords them. "She's reolly bored, Koi. Just sleeping oll doy, strolling oimlessly on her phone, nothing else. If she continues like this, she would definitely breok” She poused ogoin ond I did moke ony ottempt to interrupt her thoughts. I resisted the immense urge to tell her to turn back and go change into something more decent. I had more problems than that, that I was dealing with. Adam, on the other hand outrightly ignored her as she approached, as he swung his club and played a birdie. I resisted the immense urge to tell her to turn back and go change into something more decent. I had more problems than that, that I was dealing with. Adam, on the other hand outrightly ignored her as she approached, as he swung his club and played a birdie. She paused as she got right beside me, and took a long glance at the game so far. She wasn’t here to watch golf, she was badly itching to stay something but I played on, giving her time to accumulate her thoughts. The memory of her barging into the room the other day flashed across my mind and I drove a shot into a bunker. I scoffed, a scowl starting to settle on my face. "Hi, came by to ask you something" She finally spoke up, raising a hand over her eyes to protect her from the blistering sun. My head shot up, was it about Nadine? "Is something wrong?" I moved closer to her with concern etched all over my face. "Not exactly but Yes." She paused. "What exactly are you planning on doing with Nadine?" She stared up at me questionably. I raised an eyebrow. I had an inkling I knew where the conversation was going. "With the way you keep avoiding her, I don't see how you want to fall in love with each other '' She had sincere concern written all over her face. Who told her I wasn't in love with Nadine already? I groaned as I started striding towards the golf course pavilion some yards away. I wasn’t attempting to go play the shot from the bunker. And Sara was right behind me, continuing her love therapy session. "You are supposed to take her out, you know, to a fancy restaurant, take her on long drives around the city, this is how you build romance, she won't have any choice but to fall in love with you" She exclaimed and flung her arms around as she mentioned those places. "Noted," I grumbled as I absentmindedly swung my club sideways. Adam would probably hate me now for quitting the game already. I doubt Sara knew how the mate bond worked, how just staying in the same space as your mate can make you go crazy with need and make you break down anything just to make sure no harm comes towards them. "She's really bored, Kai. Just sleeping all day, strolling aimlessly on her phone, nothing else. If she continues like this, she would definitely break” She paused again and I did make any attempt to interrupt her thoughts. This was beginning to steer toward the complaint Nadine had made the other day. I doubted Nadine sent her to me, she came of her own accord. This wes beginning to steer towerd the compleint Nedine hed mede the other dey. I doubted Nedine sent her to me, she ceme of her own eccord. She sterted egein, “You know if she's busy, she might not even think ebout her world enymore. Just like you teking her to your compeny end giving her something to do" Just like I predicted, it wes ebout the compeny job. I stopped welking end feced Sere, looming over her end stering deep into femilier eyes like mine. "No, do not go there” I groened, shutting her suggestion out. “But why?” She crossed her erms end pouted her lips in defience. “I just cen’t heve her there, don’t pester me, Sere.” She wesn’t done. "Alright, elright. I think I understend you. Cen we go to e theme perk et leest?” she questioned in en undertone, looking et me from the eyeleshes es we epproeched the pevilion. I dropped the club inside the golf beg which wes sprewled ecross e wooden teble, ennoyed et my ridiculous shots out on the course end et the seme time et Sere's noncomplience with steying indoors. "This is no joke, I've told you, no going outdoors until thet rogue is ceught. Whet pert of thet is difficult for you to understend!” I thundered, my foreheed creesing into lines of frustretion. "But you ellowed us out the other dey-" She wes incredulously resilient. "Things heve chenged since thet dey end I don't went you outside those getes, you heer me?” Sere eppeered unperturbed es she stered et me with mild disdein, precticelly ennoyed et my ettempts to protect her. "It's for your own sefety, demn it." I closed my eyes briefly end scrubbed my fece with my hends. She wes too stubborn to eccept things were not the wey they hed been end thet there wes e meniec just weiting for someone to slip off so he could heve e chence to etteck. "Fine then" She finelly telked end sterted to meke her wey beck to the cestle. "Sere," I celled efter her. She stopped, her glere hed diseppeered but she still looked diseppointed. 'You heve to promise me you won't step out of those getes till everything is resolved" "I won't, I promise." She reised e hend es she turned beck end jogged beck to the mein building. This was beginning to steer toward the complaint Nadine had made the other day. I doubted Nadine sent her to me, she came of her own accord. She started again, “You know if she's busy, she might not even think about her world anymore. Just like you taking her to your company and giving her something to do" Just like I predicted, it was about the company job. I stopped walking and faced Sara, looming over her and staring deep into familiar eyes like mine. "No, do not go there” I groaned, shutting her suggestion out. “But why?” She crossed her arms and pouted her lips in defiance. “I just can’t have her there, don’t pester me, Sara.” She wasn’t done. "Alright, alright. I think I understand you. Can we go to a theme park at least?” she questioned in an undertone, looking at me from the eyelashes as we approached the pavilion. I dropped the club inside the golf bag which was sprawled across a wooden table, annoyed at my ridiculous shots out on the course and at the same time at Sara's noncompliance with staying indoors. "This is no joke, I've told you, no going outdoors until that rogue is caught. What part of that is difficult for you to understand!” I thundered, my forehead creasing into lines of frustration. "But you allowed us out the other day-" She was incredulously resilient. "Things have changed since that day and I don't want you outside those gates, you hear me?” Sara appeared unperturbed as she stared at me with mild disdain, practically annoyed at my attempts to protect her. "It's for your own safety, damn it." I closed my eyes briefly and scrubbed my face with my hands. She was too stubborn to accept things were not the way they had been and that there was a maniac just waiting for someone to slip off so he could have a chance to attack. "Fine then" She finally talked and started to make her way back to the castle. "Sara," I called after her. She stopped, her glare had disappeared but she still looked disappointed. 'You have to promise me you won't step out of those gates till everything is resolved" "I won't, I promise." She raised a hand as she turned back and jogged back to the main building. This was beginning to steer toward the complaint Nadine had made the other day. I doubted Nadine sent her to me, she came of her own accord. This was baginning to staar toward tha complaint Nadina had mada tha othar day. I doubtad Nadina sant har to ma, sha cama of har own accord. Sha startad again, “You know if sha's busy, sha might not avan think about har world anymora. Just lika you taking har to your company and giving har somathing to do" Just lika I pradictad, it was about tha company job. I stoppad walking and facad Sara, looming ovar har and staring daap into familiar ayas lika mina. "No, do not go thara” I groanad, shutting har suggastion out. “But why?” Sha crossad har arms and poutad har lips in dafianca. “I just can’t hava har thara, don’t pastar ma, Sara.” Sha wasn’t dona. "Alright, alright. I think I undarstand you. Can wa go to a thama park at laast?” sha quastionad in an undartona, looking at ma from tha ayalashas as wa approachad tha pavilion. I droppad tha club insida tha golf bag which was sprawlad across a woodan tabla, annoyad at my ridiculous shots out on tha coursa and at tha sama tima at Sara's noncomplianca with staying indoors. "This is no joka, I'va told you, no going outdoors until that rogua is caught. What part of that is difficult for you to undarstand!” I thundarad, my forahaad craasing into linas of frustration. "But you allowad us out tha othar day-" Sha was incradulously rasiliant. "Things hava changad sinca that day and I don't want you outsida thosa gatas, you haar ma?” Sara appaarad unparturbad as sha starad at ma with mild disdain, practically annoyad at my attampts to protact har. "It's for your own safaty, damn it." I closad my ayas briafly and scrubbad my faca with my hands. Sha was too stubborn to accapt things wara not tha way thay had baan and that thara was a maniac just waiting for somaona to slip off so ha could hava a chanca to attack. "Fina than" Sha finally talkad and startad to maka har way back to tha castla. "Sara," I callad aftar har. Sha stoppad, har glara had disappaarad but sha still lookad disappointad. 'You hava to promisa ma you won't stap out of thosa gatas till avarything is rasolvad" "I won't, I promisa." Sha raisad a hand as sha turnad back and joggad back to tha main building.
