“Where the heck have you been Vivi? Are you like crazy… I mean like a monster level crazy… do you have any idea how much we were worried? I mean we have a war to fight but damn! We haven’t thought about the strategies even once…” Apra ranted the moment she saw Sandilo walk in with Vivian in his arms.
He adjusted Vivian's position slightly to make her more comfortable but didn't set her down.
Vivian craned her neck to look at Apra. She felt a pang of guilt, seeing her weary appearance. She let out a deep sigh and said, “I am sorry… I had to go…”
“Why are you not putting her down, Alpha? Is she hurt?” Apra interrupted, running her eyes all over her.
“No, she is fine…” Sandilo said still gazing at Vivian.
Apra shook her head incredulously while Veron just stared at them with a blank expression. He had expected him to be angry at Vivian for getting away
“How did you do that? How did you understand what I wanted to ask you?” Vivan asked in a bewildered voice.“Umm… mates can hear each other’s thoughts. That is what Olcan told me.”“Olcan? Who is that.”“Ahhh… you broke his heart….” Sandilo said placing his hand over his chest.“Can you please come straight to the point, Sandy? My brain is boggled at right now.”“He is my wolf, Vivian…”Vivian shook her head trying to grasp what he was saying, “Your wolf as in… the large black one I was terrified of…”Sandilo pursed his lips and said, “Olcan told me that he is really sad about this… He didn’t want to scare you…”“Wait, what? Aren’t both of you the same?”“Ummm…. Vivian, we are the same yet different. Olcan is my wolf spirit. He is
“The aroma is so heavenly, Vivi. Can I please taste it?” Apra asked drawing in a deep breath.“Not now, let it be well cooked first. All I need to do is wrap them in this Paste and set it to bake…” Vivian replied placing a piece of meat in a thick paste of turmeric, coriander, and spices.“How long will it take to get cooked?” Apra asked, staring greedily at the piece that was getting baked.Vivian chuckled before replying, “A while, but remember you will get only one piece each. I want to send the rest to Sandy’s father.”“Hey, I wanted to ask something…” Apra asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.“Yes,” Vivian said raising her head to meet Apra’s eyes.“Have you guys done it yet?”Vivian’s forehead furrowed in confusion but then her face turned beet red when she realized the meaning of the words.She lower
Sloppy noises and the moist feeling on her hand forced Vivian to open her eyes. She found Olcan, towering over her. It took a few moments to figure out that he was licking her hand. He was fully focused on the task as if that was the most important work in the world.Surprisingly, she didn’t feel scared anymore. A strong scent of petrichor and pine made her feel heady. It was just like being with Sandilo.Proximity to Olcan calmed down her frayed nerves. She felt an intense urge to run her hand through the wolf’s shiny, black fur. She raised her free hand and placed it lightly on the wolf’s mane.Olcan raised its head and looked up at her with a sad expression, its ears drooping down.Her heart broke and she Couldn’t resist throwing her arms around Olcan. It was like placing her hands on a wall of fur. Her hands were too small to hug properly.Vivian’s heart fluttered at the purring sound he made. While she was r
Sandilo had Vivian trapped between his arms. She tried to back off but the cold wall behind her made any kind of movement impossible.Her heart pounded against her ribs and her breath hitched. She felt like her mind was incapable of forming any coherent thoughts.Sandilo lowered his face till his lips were almost touching hers. Vivian’s heart throbbed erratically and she gulped. Sandilo looked beyond mad. Fear course through her veins.Without warning, Sandilo bit her lower lips and crushed her lips as if he was punishing her. His hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.Vivian’s head started spinning and she couldn’t remember how to breathe. She could see the stars and the darkness threatened to engulf her but Sandilo stopped at the right moment.“What is with this ‘Allowed’ thing?” He said in a low but dangerous tone.Tears trickled down her cheeks when she finally remembered what this
Vivian, Aphrodite, Sandilo, and Veron were seated at the table in the courtyard. They preferred to have their breakfast in the open, where it was cool and breezy.The bamboo gate swung open drawing Vivian’s attention to the gate. Her face lit up in a smile when she saw that it was Sandilo’s father.“Father…” She stood up and hugged him as he joined the table. Sandilo greeted him to but they didn’t hug.“What is for the breakfast?” He asked, pulling the empty chair and sitting.“Just some pasta…” Vivian said with a faint smile.“Now, what is that? Damn! The people on your planet are definitely, huge foodies… I mean I always feel like you will repeat the dishes but Puff!!! You come up with something new.” Father said shaking his head.“This looks funny though… I mean it looks like swirling food…” He said fighting the urge to laugh.
When they reached the entrance of the ground, Vivian found Sandilo’s father with a grotesque expression; his eyes were livid with anger and his face was scrunched up in disgust.Vivian's heart pounded as she edged closer to the entrance to see what had caused such a strong reaction in father.A shudder coursed through Vivian as she took in the scene.Roxan was sitting on a stone seat with a young woman on his lap. His one hand gripped her hair while he was holding a dagger in the other. Two other girls were kneeling before him with his head lowered.In the light of the bonfire, he looked no less than the devil himself.Without warning, he struck at the Omega and her dress was ripped apart.A bone-chilling scream escaped the girl’s mouth but it got muffled when he stuffed her mouth with the cloth he had torn off.“Father, that day when Sandilo broke his jaw, it was because of something similar,” Vivian whispered i
Vivian was looking outside the window when she was grabbed from behind. She squealed as she tried to turn around. But a strong pair of arms held her in place.“It is just me, love.” Sandilo’s rich husky but slightly hoarse voice sounded in her ears sending a pleasurable shudder through her.“Gosh! You scared me…” She exclaimed, once she was able to gather her bearings.She closed her eyes reflexively as she felt something move towards her eyes. It took a few moments for her to realize that she was blindfolded.“What are you doing, Sandy?” She asked in a shaking voice. Her heart accelerating in anticipation.“I am taking you to my favorite place.” He whispered in her ears and then nibbled it softly making Vivian giggle.“How will I walk if I can’t see?” Vivian asked, trying to take off her blindfold but he grasped her hand and said, “Be good, Vivi. I promise
“Brother, I brought this for you,” Roxan said, handing Sandilo a piece of stone.Sandilo’s eyes gleamed with joy as he turned the stone over in his hands.“Rix, you remembered…”“Of course! How can I forget your obsession with these stones?” He said with a smile, hugging him.Vivian’s eyes gleamed with unshed tears as she saw this heart-warming scene unfold before her eyes. She was so glad that she had convinced everyone to forgive Roxan.“Can I see it?” Vivian asked once Roxan had left.“Of course!”“This is pretty. It looks like the stars are encrusted in the blue sky.”“You like it?”“Love it… Ummm… if you don’t mind can I keep it? Please…” Vivian said holding the stone close to her.Sandilo chuckled and said, “Of course! It was just an obsession I had as a ch
