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

"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

Alpha Kai“I do not know why you have harboured unchaste feelings for me all the while that you have. It is Katara that I love and she alone I will love," I said, looking right into her eyes. She blinked, hurt and slightly discomfited. Her wolf quietened and recoiled at the implied rejection. "Well, I have not asked you to stop loving your Luna, neither have I asked for you to be a lover to me," She said. She had stopped in her tracks and looked at me with burning eyes now. She had not perhaps, expected me to decline her advances. "What then, do you ask of me, Santina? I find that for as long as I am among your people, I must surely do your bidding," I said, in false loyalty and demureness. I had little plans that I intended to carry out. She smiled and resumed her mechanical walk towards me, smiling lasciviously and revealing as much skin as she could. I smiled too, knowing that had no effect on me. Instead, it irked my wolf… Waiting for her to reach me so I could make my requ

My wolf suddenly came alive and its ferocious groans resounded all through the chambers. I watched him as he stuttered. "I-I um, have not mated with another, my dear. You know as much as I do that I cannot be united with another wolf in mating. You are my mate, Katara,"He said."Who then was she and what had kept you away from me all night until the very time you stepped into this chamber?“I asked him. I was barely able to keep my wolf inside.Of course he would not mate with another but then, who had he been a good company to?I knew my eyes glittered threateningly like it did always when I was very angry but Kai remained calm. His wolf totally not aroused by the impending danger that mine posed."I had been with the commander of the army, the past night,"He said and made no obvious attempt to explain any further.Of course the ruthless Alpha Kai never owed anyone an explanation for his deeds. He did the things that he felt were best and no one ever questioned him.Coming to the

"Why are you sullen, my Lord?" Abramo asked as I sat staring ahead. "I am not sullen, Abramo. I am totally fine. I do not know where the pack that had attacked last night came from. If they where from an Eastern tribe or from the tribe along the water banks, I do not know. Why they had attacked, I do not know," I explained to Abramo. "But you know as well as I do that this tribe is rich in gold. Why else would they be attacked if not so that their treasures can be carted away?" Abramo asked. I shook my head. "Santina has died in the war even if they had not succeeded," I lamented. "It is not in your nature to lament, Dark Alpha Kai. Perhaps, you should go back and reclaim Valmore before an new Alpha Is installed," Abramo advised. "I have no men with which I can fight and conquer Valmore, Abramo. What shall I do?” "You have the blessing of the Moon Goddess. Go back to Valmore and you shall conquer. They may not even want war with you anymore. I came to tell you that It is ti
