Just when they turned to leave the water stream, they found themselves surrounded by men clothed in animal skin.

Jordan tensed while Selly instinctively stayed behind him. Where did they come from? And why are they dressed like Selly?

The dark brown animal skin covered them from the waist and barely reached the knees leaving their bare muscles in display for all. A single glance at their strong torsos could tell that they weren't simple men.

Their collective gaze wasn't friendly nor were they small in both number and size.

A man, tall and strong with a long beard stepped forward confidently and from his aura, he seemed to be the leader. “Who are you and why are you trespassing?”

Trespassing? Jordan was lost, did the land belong to them?

From their scent alone, he could tell that these were no werewolves so the concept of them being a pack didn't make sense. Nonetheless, he didn't answer him immediately.

Jordan's silence seemed to irk the leader and he scowled, “Bring the woman to me

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   77: The green-eyed man

    “Actually,” Lolita said, “Men don't matter as much here.”“What do you mean?” Selly asked.“Well, he will be released tomorrow but he will have to face other men.”Selly blinked several times. Nothing was making any sense. Face other men…how?“It's customary,” she casually dismissed her with a wave of her hand, “nothing to worry about.” she said, “Now, before you bore me more, let me show you my room.”Just like that, Lolita pulled Selly into one of the rooms without really offering any real information and she was afraid of asking too many questions in fear that it might make her look suspicious.That evening Lolita and a few others decided to take a stroll. Sure enough, the lustful gazes from the males were unaccounted for and true to Lolita’s words, there were more men in the streets, gorgeous with well-built bodies staring or simply minding their business. For Selly, who wasn't used to that much attention, it felt weird.Somewhere along the streets, they stumbled upon someone. A

    Selly was lost for words by the young woman's bold actions. And to make it worse she did it in front of all to see without a care in the world.Upon noticing the stiffness of her body the young woman laughed, “You will get used to it.”Selly almost choked on her own saliva, what did she even mean by that? Was this one of those women who preferred…fellow women?“This way.” She led her to the left side of the building where a street road lay ahead. “Tell me, how has life been treating you so far?”Selly gathered her courage, “Good.”“Wonderful because it will be even better now that you're here.” She said, "The name?”“Ponds,” Selly blurted the first one that came to mind.The woman stopped,” Did you give yourself that name or someone else did?”Selly cleared her throat,” I have always been called that.”Resuming walking, the young woman nodded, ”Fair enough. It doesn't really make any difference.”The two women walked while talking about simple things and Selly was thankful she wasn't

    Jordan was left without a choice. His mate had chosen to follow those people even when he had assured her he was willing to put his life on the line for her. He wasn't sure if her decision was influenced by her desire to meet the others or if there was something else at play. Either way, he would follow her wherever she chose to go even if it hurt him. It was one of the ways to atone to his sins.The men, now more cautious of Jordan than before, approached and surrounded but didn't dare touch him.“Move.” One of them ordered and he obliged without a word.Selly sighed in relief, at least Jordan was listening to her rather than being stubborn.“This way.” The leader's voice was surprisingly lower and pleasant to Selly, a contrast to the tone he was using with Jordan.Selly followed his direction and together they started to walk away from the water stream. She wasn't sure where those men were taking them to nor what they were planning to do after they reached there but something told

    When Selly had first thought of finding others, the idea had thrilled her but now that it was happening in real time she couldn't help but have doubts.Those drums could mean anything from acceptance to trouble, she thought as she continued to listen to them beat in sync and create a beautiful harmony before they eventually stopped.“Do you still…”“I don't know Jordan. A part of me wants to go and another is telling me not to.”This time Jordan didn't impose his thoughts on the matter. The last time he did, they had narrowly made it out of the tunnel. This was Selly’s wish. It was her call.“You can think about it while we find water.” He said, feeling the intensity of the sun coupled with the running they just did.“I am very thirsty.” Selly said.“I know.”The two started to walk towards the forest, the fresh air felt good on their skin after having endured the harsh winds and dust from where they came from.“It's very beautiful.” She said, “Food and water wouldn't be a problem if

    Exploring the tunnel was a bad idea and Selly regretted having dragged Jordan into it. If she knew this would happen she would have happily stayed at the cottage.They had been running for so long when suddenly the torch light went off all at once, catching them off guard.Due to the sudden change in light, their eyes couldn't adjust as quickly and Jordan stumbled upon something and fell.Since he was holding Selly’s hand all the while, she simply followed suit and ended up falling on top of him.Jordan held her firmly, his eyes forced to adjust as he searched for the creatures but strangely, they were not there anymore.The screeching sound and their presence had just disappeared and so was the light.It seemed like the darkest part of the tunnel was home to those crawlers, he noted in his mind but didn't lower his guard. One thing he had learnt about this place was that anything could happen at any given time.Now, the problem wasn't fighting them off. They were small and he could e
