Vivian sucked in her breath when she saw two men walk towards her. Both of them were well built and very tall, she had to crane her neck to look at them. They must have been over seven feet.
Her mouth hung open in wonder. They were a sight to behold with their rugged look. Vivian looked away in embarrassment as her eyes fell on their bare chests. They were chiseled to perfection.
“How can someone be so good looking.” She muttered under her breath.
Vivian’s face had turned red due to exertion. Sweat trickled down her forehead, and her chest heaved up and down in an unsuccessful attempt to draw in more air. The muscles of her legs throbbed, and she felt a pain shoot through her lungs, but she didn’t dare to stop. If she stopped or slowed down, they would catch her.Her heart came to her mouth when she heard the sounds of footsteps approaching from behind. She looked around frantically, searching for a place to hide.
“Ahhh!!!” A scream escaped her mouth as tears streamed down her face. The pain was just too much to bear. “Please, leave me… I will walk fast…please…” Vivian begged as she looked at him with an agonized expression. Sandilo felt an ache grip his heart when he saw her pained expression. Her whimpers sent waves of pain through him as if he was feeling the pain himself.
She gulped as she looked at him. He didn’t seem like someone you could refuse. Her mind veered to the time she had to take off her clothes when attacked by a Roostaglosses, on planet Xena. It had drenched her with acidic saliva, and she would have died due to itching if she hadn’t taken her clothes off. But that was a different case. She wasn’t stripping in front of a drop-dead gorgeous man.
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.
After several attempts, Vivian finally gave up on trying to escape. She had tried to escape seven times to be precise.Sandilo always sniffed her out; rather, he had become quite efficient. The last time she tried to escape, Sandilo found her in a record five minutes, and she was glad that he did. Vivian shuddered as she thought about the incident. Yesterday night she decided to try her luck once more. Tho
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 had enough of all this confusion and drama. If he wanted to kill her, eat her; Why didn’t he get over with it?A strong gust of wind blew in through the window, making Vivian shiver with cold. She rubbed her hands invol
Vivian watched in horror as Roxan raised his sword to strike her. “Wait…” She cried, making Roxan stop mid-strike. “What!? Do you want to beg me now?” He said, glaring at her.Vivian gulped the lump that had formed and licked her dry lips.
Sandilo’s father regained his composure quickly. His eyes flew from Sandilo to Roxan as he clenched and unclenched his fist as if he was contemplating something. He then gripped Sandilo by his arms and said in a stern voice, “ I command you to tell me the reason for tackling Roxan.”Sandilo’s lips moved on its own accord as he said, “I think she is my mate….”His f
Vivian woke up with a start the next morning; completely drenched in sweat. She gripped the edge of the bed as she tried to catch her breath.“Vivi, what happened, love?” Sandilo asked groggily as he sat up rubbing his eyes.“I… saw that a fleet of spaceships had attacked the Lycan World and we both were running about, trying to save our daughter,” Vivian muttered with a horrified look.“Love, look at me…” Sandilo said drawing closer and lifting her chin.Looking into her eyes, he said, “It was just a dream. We are safe at the AV cottage. There is no attack.”Vivian’s eyes swept around the room and she relaxed considerably. Sandilo was right. It was only a dream. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder why she had seen the nightmare.Suddenly, she jumped to her feet and ran out. Sandilo shook his head at her weird behavior before following her out.It was a good thi
The unification ceremony was to be held by the lakeside. It was tradition to exchange vows under the moonlight.Sana checked the decorations one last time before the guests started to arrive. It was unlike anything the werewolves had ever seen. The whole stage was carved out of a single slab of pure white marble. It dazzled in the moonlight giving it a surreal look.Four pillars flanked the stage. Garlands of flowers entwined around the pillars like vines. Streamers and garlands ran between the pillars creating an enclosure of sorts. They had even managed to make four light bulbs glow in the corners.It was perfect just like Vivian had envisioned. Sana just wanted to add some additional effect. She took out a jar and opened it. The next moment, hundreds of fireflies flocked around the light bulbs, giving the setting a fairytale look.The area around the lake had been cleared to make room for the guests. In the extreme right corner, a huge stone oven had b
Sandilo’s eyes darted from Grandpops to the steep descent. He was torn between following his mate and leaving her Grandpa alone in this unknown place.“It is okay, Go and get her…” Grandpops said, taking off his glasses and cleaning them.“But… Grandpops… This place is not safe. What if the wolves attack while I am away… Vivian will never forgive me…”Grandpops cleared his throat and said, “What if something happens to her?”Sandilo wrung his hands. He was really in a great fix. Just when he thought that things couldn’t get any worse, he heard the cracking of the leaves followed by heavy footsteps. His ears perked and he positioned in front of Grandpops.Grandpa let out a snort and said, “I don’t think I need your protection, cub. Move aside."Sandilo’s heartbeat accelerated as Grandpops shoved him out of the way and walked towards the brink
The winds blew up the dust like a huge whirlwind but Sandilo and Vivian stood frozen, dazzled by the sight. The spaceship landed as softly as the flamingoes skimming over the water. A door slid open and a slide of sorts rolled down.An old man with grey hair, bespectacled eyes, and wrinkled face emerged out of the entrance and slid down as if he were riding a huge slide. His face was lit up with child-like curiosity.His eyes darted around, drinking in the beautiful landscape. He opened his arms and took in a deep breath. His face flushed with contentment.Vivian couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She felt like she will go crazy with the intensity of emotions that she felt at that time.Much to Sandilo’s surprise, she leaped into the air and launched herself at the old man. She started licking his face just like a dog licks her master if they see them after a very long time.The old man was dumbfounded when the huge white wolf pounce
“Sandy, Rewa is desperate for a run. Can we just trot up the mountain and come back?” Vivian asked batting her eyelashes.Sandilo groaned and said, shaking his head, “You know you can’t do that. Why do you keep pestering me with the same question, Vivi.”Vivian’s face flushed and she said glaring at him, “I am so done with this stupidity. It is a month since this craziness started. I don’t care if I die the next moment. I am going out.”Sandilo grabbed her arm and raised her face by her chin saying, “I don’t want to make you unhappy love. I am just worried about your safety.”“Just take your hands off me, Sandy. I have had enough of it. I am not some barbie doll whom you can keep trapped in a cage…. I am bloody suffocated trapped in this stupid cottage all this while.” She screamed, shoving him aside.She took her wolf form and was outside the door with a singl
Sandilo felt a tickling sensation in his nose, he turned in his sleep and sneezed. Vivian giggled as she watched him rub his nose and doze off again.She inserted the grass stalk in his nose again and twirled it gently. He grunted something and turned to the other side again.Sandilo woke up with a start when Vivian was about to twirl the stalk for the third time.“Who the F***! is that?” He roared, his face red with fury.The stalk from Vivian’s hand dropped and she crossed her arms puffing her cheeks.Realization dawned on Sandilo as he took in Vivian’s upset expression. He started apologizing instantly, “I am so sorry, love… I didn’t realize it was you…”Vivian just pursed her lips and looked away.Sandilo kicked himself inwardly.F***! Did he have to screw everything up so soon? Damn! His temper. His eyes darted around the room looking for inspiration to cheer Vivi
Vivian stopped pacing after a while. She stood right in front of him and said in a cold voice, “Your punishment is that you are never allowed to touch me…”Colour drained from Sandilo’s face. His heart stopped beating and he felt a ringing sensation in his ears. He could do anything for Vivian but this….Vivian bent over her knees laughing. When she looked up there were tears in her eyes. She said, “Look at your face. It looks pale as a ghost as if I have given you a death sentence…”Sandilo groaned and said, “You have no idea, Vivi… This is worse than a death sentence… You want me to…”His words were cut off as Vivian pressed her lips against him. Sandilo stood frozen for a moment before responding. He placed his right arm over her waist and drew her closer.With his other hand, he brushed away the locks of hair that were getting in the way. He lifted her chin to g
Vivian sniffled and continued her rant, “ Oh, Sandy… you have no idea how much my heart ached to hold you one last time before I died… I wanted to…”Vivian felt like her heart would burst at the intensity of the emotions she was feeling. She burst into loud sobs burying her head in Olcan’s fur.Olcan moved away causing her to stagger. She looked up at him with a hurt expression. The next moment, his claws started retracting and the fur vanished.She was too stunned to react. She watched him as he took his human form. Her face turned red and she closed her eyes, embarrassed to see him naked.The moment Vivian said that she wanted to hold him, Sandilo’s control snapped. He took over Olcan, not caring that he had no change of clothes.He pulled Vivian into a tight hug the moment the transformation was complete. The fire that had been burning him all this while was calmed by her touch. He moaned as he molded
The moment Vivian crashed the device against the wall, a strange feeling overcame her. Before she could realize what was happening, she found herself falling downward.“Ahhh!!!” A loud scream erupted in her mouth as her heart came to her mouth. The scream was lost somewhere in the air as she fell sharply towards the Lycan World.She covered her ears midair as the spaceship exploded. The waves of the sound hit her accelerating her fall. The temperature around her rose, scorching her skin. The flames lapped and almost touched her fur… fur… it was then Vivian realized that Rewa had taken over.She made the mistake of looking downward. She was at such a height that she could see the curve of the planet. The fall was very steep and there was no way she could survive it.*F*** Rewa! What the heck do you think you are doing?**I am trying to save our life… Unlike you I don’t wish to die so early!**Wow! I can
