Vivian gently removed the arm that was engulfing her and moved out of the stone bed as quietly as possible. The gnawing sensation in her stomach made it impossible for her to sleep. She looked at Sandilo who was snoring slightly. It didn’t sound annoying to her rather it had a strange deep timbre that sent shivers down her spine but in a good way. Her face turned beet red as she recalled the time he had insisted on sleeping with her. Ummm… He hadn’t insisted. He had just whisked her off her feet and carried her to the room.

Sandilo waited for Vivian to come out of the house as she had insisted on taking a shower before they left.  He felt thrilled at the idea of going for a walk and spending some time with his mate. Hopefully, she would find the fruits she was looking for as well. His mind veered to the bag kept on the floor as he paced up and down the courtyard. He wondered how it reached there. Before he could himself up too much about it, soft footsteps distracted him. He halted midstep and sucked in his breath when he saw Vi

A man was tied to a pole. His face was contorted in pain and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. He looked lean and malnourished much like the other Omegas Vivian had seen.Muffled cries escaped him each time the whip landed on his back. There was no struggle in his eyes. It was as if the man had resigned himself to his fate.Vivian opened her mouth to say something but only a sharp breath escaped her mouth. She drew in deep breaths and licked her dry lips. After great effort, she managed to scream, “Stop!”The man turned around instantly and glared at her. His eyes flashed with hunger when it landed on her. No, not the kind that could be satisfied by food. His eyes were filled with lust.Vivian cringed as his eyes raked over her body. It took all her will power to stand up to him. But, she didn’t back off. She said in a shaking voice, “Why are you whipping him?”“Who are you to demand an explanation?” He sai

Sandilo was stunned by Vivian’s outburst. He sat there brooding and reflecting. It was quite some time before he went to seek out Vivian. He was shocked to see her lying peacefully on the stone seat…He tiptoed to the seat and kneeled in front of her. He caressed her cheeks with the back of his hand. She looked as if she was an incarnation of the Moon Goddess.He wanted to wipe out the lines of worry that were distorting her face. He lowered his lips and kissed her gently on the forehead. His heart almost stopped beating when Vivian smile involuntarily. He wished to see her smiling like this. He resolved not to fight with her ever again.When Vivian woke up, he took out the bottle of energy pills from her bag handed it to her. Thankfully, she didn’t refuse though her eyes were laced with worry.He took out the wand from the bag and said, “This wand heals injuries, right?”“Hmmm…” She replied absentm

Vivian woke up and stretched her arms. Her eyebrows knit together as her hand came in contact with something warm. Hadn’t she slept off near the window?Her eyes snapped open and landed on Sandilo who was curled around her. He looked so adorable sleeping that Vivian couldn’t resist the urge to kiss his forehead.Then, she slid out of the bed stealthily; careful not to wake him up. Her eyes widened as she reached the courtyard. There was a huge pile of firewood in a corner. A huge stone was kept near the firewood and Veron was walking in with another huge one. His muscles bulged as he held the boulder over his shoulder.Apra was standing there, staring at him incredulously.“What are you doing Veron?” Vivian asked as she watched in wonder.Vivian’s hand flew to her mouth as the boulder dropped to the ground missing Veron’s foot by inches. She ran towards him and asked anxiously, “Are you alright? I am sorry,
