Vivian ran nonstop for a long time, weaving her way through the thick clumps of trees and bushes. Suddenly, she was assaulted by a deadly stench. She pinched her nose with her fingers and quickened her pace but then halted suddenly. This smell was familiar. It smelled exactly like the corpse flower. She remembered how Sandilo had sniffed before tracking her. If she applied the juice of this flower on her, he wouldn’t be able to follow her.

Vivian sat there, staring into nothing for a long time after Sandilo went. The vision of Sandilo morphing into a wolf was still fresh in her mind. She wondered how she was still alive?Why did he hug her? Why did he storm out after a while? These questions were driving her crazy. She resolved to confront him once he returned.

She had never seen any of the men wearing shirts.

Sandilo looked around the courtyard frantically the moment he entered. If something happened to his mate he would kill Veron. A smile spread on his face when his eyes finally found her, but the next moment it turned to a scowl when he realized that she was sitting on the ground while Luna was sitting on the stone seat. “Veron, didn’t you inform your Luna that this girl is my mate?” Sandilo roared with a furious expression.
