Hope you liked this chapter 😘
Alpha Kai's POV The domestic staff and slaves all walked around the large hall, with beautiful gold plaited dishes that no doubt exuded so much wealth and grandeur. "I tell you Kai, this tribe is rich. They own much more than we can ever imagine.” Katara stated. She'd been following my eyes as I watched. I'm used to seeing luxury and having things that I want but I never counted on seeing so much from this tribe of Dinosaurs. "I totally agree with you, My Luna but could you not speak too loudly? Lest you give the impression that we're mere peasants who have hardly seen nor enjoyed wealth," I replied. I was getting uncomfortable with Katara's Incessant and curious questions. "I have not spoken too loudly, Alpha Kai, and no one who is sane will look at us as mere peasants!“ Katara said petulantly. As I made to reply to her in a pacifying manner, Santina, who had kept everyone on the table from eating, walked gracefully to her seat at the head of the table accompanied by two mai
Alpha Kai's POVIt amazed me how Katara moved from being angry and melancholic to being tender and loving.As I made love to her that night, her passion and eagerness encouraged me on, I felt again, a bliss and I temporarily forgot my woe and the problems of the day."I love you so much, Katara,"I whispered into her ears as I heaved myself off her and watched her flushed face."I love you too, milord," I replied as her hand made its way to my face. She rubbed on my jaw and smiled up at me."I do hope that we have our lives back soon, My lord," she said.…For a short while, I was surprised that she still had in her mind, the life we'd left behind only shortly ago in order to save our own lives. But I knew better than to argue with her so I took her hand in mine."We will have our lives back, my Luna. We only have to endure a little bit and we're going to be okay soon. Very soon, I assure you, my dear," I said and she smiled again."I do not know what has become of Abramo. I miss him
Alpha Kai's POVI was fierce during the intensive training the following day.I over worked the men and would not stop even when the leader shouted that we stopped training for the day. I was venting my anger on the men and they knew."Pray tell, why are you so ferocious today?“The army leader asked me. He had his usual grumpy face."Well, only see it fit that we do what is right and stop lazing around,"I replied. I was careful to conceal my anger from him as I spoke."Well, we do not expect an impending war and so we must see that these men retire early and go pay attention to their families,"He said.He was staring at me in the face, which won’t usually happen to an Alpha. Looking intently and perhaps, trying to read my mind by looking into my eyes.Looking at someone else's eyes intently might give off the person's thoughts, he had told me once and even though I did not believe him, I did not also open my mouth to argue against him."I do not see anything wrong in what you have
Kai's POVAs I made my way hastily to our chambers, a maid whom I am certain I had never seen stopped to look at me in a leery manner. Her brazen gaze holding mine for a few seconds but I was too angry to pay heed to her. And what if I was not?I certainly would not want anything with a maid from a tribe which I was only a foreigner. A sojourner.Katara was turning her cheap jewelries in her palms when I stepped in."Welcome, Kai. What kept you out so long? Will there be a war? Did the men train extra hard for it?“She asked without looking up from her jewels.I ignored her question and asked mine."I see you are engrossed with that. Tell me, did you get a few more to add to your collection?"I asked her. She smiled and looked up for the first time since I stepped in. She set her jewelries aside and stood up. One look at my fiery eyes and she knew that I was angry."What is wrong, my Kai? Perhaps, you have seen something that instigated your anger?“She asked me. I exhaled. I was goi
When I woke up, Kai was gone. Where he had slept was bare and rumpled and as I splayed my hand over it, it felt warm. A testament that he had left not long ago. I assumed at once that he must have gone out to the field where he and the men trained daily. I did not ask the maid who had brought in breakfast for me… for the first time in a long time, if she had come across Kai as he left the chambers. Later, as I dressed up in a perfectly fitting dress and joined the women in the study making decorations and beautiful dish clothes and table mats, I recalled again the previous night and how passionately Kai had made love to me. Perhaps, the affairs of the tribe which we now found ourselves among did not diminish his wild longings for me. He loved me, despite everything we were facing. "What are you smiling at, Luna? You have made no stitch and you smile and let your lids slam shut while it is still day. Pray, share your joy with us that we too may be as excited as you are," A lady si
"For what reason, do you intend to do that my lady?“ The oldest lady asked. She was perhaps the only one who could ask such questions to Santina and receive an appropriate answer. "Maybe, so there can be more zeal for the work? I have an inkling that the lazy ones amongst you hide under the wings of the hardworking.” she said. “Some of you ladies might not be as diligent and efficient as the others, do not you think so?" She asked the lady. She was staring pointedly at me now. Perhaps, daring me to challenge her. But I was already braced to take all hostility in good grace until I got what I wanted. I would stay loyal and submissive and do her biddings until it was too late for her to realize what I had up my sleeves. “I do not think there is any amongst us who is not hardworking. If there be any lady who lazes about this study each day, I will be the one who brings it to your notice, my lady.” I let out. “Do not worry, the ladies are good together.” I spat at her. “They love
"My dear gentleman, I had been wooing the lass. I had fallen head over heels in love with her and knew where she sat for leisure. Many times, I had stayed in the bushes, watching her, the sun kissing her beautiful skin and her voice doing magic to me...” “…I never did show myself to her lest she be frightened and stop visiting the water side. But on the day the water had attempted to sweep her into oblivion, I had showed up and rescued her," "Commendable, if you ask me.” "The lass had been grateful and so was her father. She had been the only child of her father who was a widower," he said. He was suddenly looking exhausted and not too keen on continuing the story but I spoke up, assuring him that I found his story really interesting and would love to know how it had been from then on. "Do continue your story, I do want to know what the end of this story would be. Did not the lass's father let you marry his daughter?“ I asked. I had sensed in his eyes that that had been the cas
For a while, I concluded that that might have been the sole reason for the invitation. To tell me what Santina had said and it did not please me one bit. "I see. Indeed," I replied as I drew my legs back, taking myself up from my seated position. A testimony that I was ready and eager to leave. First, I had to see Santina. She had sent the lass who had bore the message of her invitation and I would indeed be at her Chambers. To know at least why she wanted to see me after the previous night and the ruthless verbal sparring that these had been between us and then, I would go to Katara and tell her all I had learnt about the tribe of Dinosaurs from the very mouth of the commander of the army. "Well, I see you would love to retire, gentleman. Do not be mad that I had kept you away from the delicate arms of your Luna with stories which are only bland to the ears. I am not a very good story teller, you must forgive me,” He said as he rose to his feet. That caused me to chuckle. I ha
