Vivian looked around with a satisfied smile. One thing was for sure, these werewolves were quite efficient. They had transformed the village within two days.“Vivi, Rats are doing what did you say that day… yeah… rats are doing hip hop in my stomach,” Apra said, tugging at her arm.“At your service Luna. I promise you, it is going to be worth the wait. I will prepare the meat differently today.” Vivian said walking towards the makeshift barbecue they had created.“Everyone come closer. I will teach you how to cook.” Vivian announced.Apra scooted even closer and Veron and Sandilo stood just a few inches behind her.Vivian shook her head and said, “Not so close, guys. Leave room for me to move about…”Vivian took a long metal rod and pierced it through a piece of meat. She was really glad that Apra had cleaned up the pieces thoroughly. Vivian was okay with cooking meat. It w

Vivian’s words kept replaying in Veron’s mind as he sat on the stone seat in the courtyard. He felt humiliated and ashamed. He had never thought about it this way.Weren’t those women someone's mate, someone’s daughter? Wouldn’t their hearts cry out at such defiling behavior?He knew that Omegas were always treated as such but Vivian’s words made him ponder over the appropriateness of such acts.Veron jumped to his feet and muttered, “Sandilo…Apra… I have some urgent work… I will meet you in a while…”Then, he broke into a run without waiting for their reply. His heart skipped a beat when his extra sensitive ears picked Vivian’s voice near the entrance of the village. He shook his head thinking that it was an illusion but when he heard the voice again he decided to investigate.His blood boiled when he saw Roxan cornering Vivian. She had a metal rod in her hand and wa

“If it was some other day, I would have considered your request, Roxan. Today, I am just a man whose mate was assaulted; a friend who sacrificed everything so that I could duel with you. We fight.” Sandilo said with a tone of finality. Roxan started shaking at this. He was a coward who knew only to overpower the weak. Deceit and plotting were his expertise. He couldn’t see any opening to showcase his expertise.Sandilo dragged him to the center of the crowd and pushed him to the ground. Then he roared, “Don’t behave like a ninny, Roxan.”Roxan remained on the ground, refusing to get up. Sandilo couldn’t hit him when he was cowering. So he continued to taunt him.“Roxan! Don’t ruin our family name. Prove that you deserve to be an Alpha. Prove that you are not the second Alpha…”Roxan hissed and jumped to his feet at this address. He abhorred being called ‘Second Alpha.&rs

The bonfire blazed fiercely piercing through the darkness of the night. It crackled now and then dancing in the gentle breeze.Men, women, children scurried about doing something or the other.A throne of sorts was placed right in front of the bonfire. It was decorated with vines and flowers.Sandilo and Vivian walked towards the throne hand in hand. They were flanked by Veron and Apra on either side.  Vivian was dressed in a beige gown with a plunging neckline. It hugged her tightly at her small waist and flowed down to her ankles.The gown was held together by metal pins of sorts but it gave Vivian a different look.Her copper tresses were braided intricately and held together in a tight bun. Flowers were threaded between the braids in a peculiar pattern. Flower garlands, armbands, and waistbands adorned Vivian painting an alluring picture. She looked around awkwardly.She was never the one to doll up. She expected people to b

“What are you doing, Vivian?” Sandilo asked as he stepped into the courtyard.Vivian's mouth parted slightly as she took in his appearance; disheveled hair, sleepy eyes. He looked adorable. Her cheeks turned scarlet as her eyes landed on his lips.The scene of their kissing last night flashed through her mind and she looked away embarrassed. She wondered what she would reply if he inquired about her reaction… It was better to distract him.She flashed the IAD in the air and said pursing her lips, “I am trying to fix this one but sadly it is out of battery…”His mouth formed an ‘O’. Then, he looked at her with a sheepish expression and said, “What does that do?”“It helps us communicate with people who are far away from us. I just wish I could fix this up…” Vivian said sadly…Sandilo took the IAD from her hands and observed carefully. “I
