Ibhaan's Head:

It is clear frosty weather today, spreading a soothing sensation in the air. I smile at the swarm of professional personnel eying me greedily with expectations.

The curtness in me urges me to play some more. Damn! How I love watching them suffering in anticipation with their heart in their mouths. Serves them right! I have endured their bullshit for hours.

‘I shall see!’ I nod, intertwining my palms on the table. I mask my expression in a frozen unreadable face letting the serious business-type demeanour take over.

From my peripheral vision, I watch as Kavish takes over already. He knows me well. Way too well…

‘We’d like to get more information on slide six and page 453, 878, 879, 652, and 564 in your report.’ Kavish deadpans looking to and fro between his tablet and the old sulking rag.

The sincerity in the boardroom is getting on my nerves. I am exhausted, drained out of energy, and almost on the verge of death. Yet I cannot scream my lungs out. I want to t

    Lizziy’s Head: I let out a string of curses as I slump onto His Highness’s throne with a spitfire. This time with innate force to make the tires screech.He has been watching me like the freaking creep that he is! How-how-how ugh! I cannot even find a suitable word to curse him. ‘Huh! I cannot believe your dumbass wouldn’t know the Den would be under survillence. Tsk! Tsk! Awful!’ ‘Shut up! Shut the fuck up, Ella.’ I run my hands through the length of my hair. No! I cannot let him know I am pissed. Then? What should be the ideal reaction? How would a lovesick bitch in these circumstances react? Blush? Giggle? Feel delighted that she had been asked to fuck off? The Dick that stretches your cunt…Oh, I am so fucking mad. How dare he? How freaking dare he talk to me like that? What am I? A fucking prostitute? Respect! I command non-negotiable respect!What should I do? He might be waiting for a reply. Yeah, he might still be watching me sitting on his throne, fisting and unfisting my

    ‘Arin?’ The drowsy voice purrs in my ears as Ibhaan snuggles closer, almost cocooning me between his back and arms. He has embraced me in clutches with my back pressed against his front and overlooking the Pacific ocean. If I turn around, I’ll get a nostril full of his misty scent which is highly addictive and intoxicating. And the dreadful morning breath that will have me puking my guts in a loop. It has to be five or six in the morning. The sun is yet to dip out of the horizon. However, its warm redness with tinges of orange and tangerine has spread across the perimeter in a welcoming warmth. It is a rather gloomy day like it may pour any second. The ferocious ocean breeze flirts with the curtains and chiming bells on the balcony. The chirps of the birds fade in the background but the voices in my head are loud and so are the thunders in the sky. Hissssssssssss… Ella spits in agony, waking me up in a jolt. My whole body tenses and core muscles tighten. I cannot hold back. She

    ‘Do you think there will be hot dudes there?’ Julie asks in a whisper, gaping around at the interiors of the luxury jet. ‘I honestly need some. It’s season and my serpent is going crazy in the head. I might lose her anytime now.’ I give her an off look that speaks for itself but it does not make her flinch a bit as I cautiously look around. Fortunately, there ain’t anyone who noticed our rambling. ‘Pshhh!’ I motion. From my peripheral vision, I watch Huine making her way towards our dock. She nods my way and settles down. ‘I have always dreamt of flying across continent. It feels like a dream come true. General never took me out. I always begged him. Guess, we still have niceties we could enjoy and cherish.’ Julie gushes over, gaping at the clouds and the crystal clear water underneath. ‘General?’ Huine questions, wiggling a questioning eyebrow at the poor impersonation of my grooming staff. ‘Umm…my previous client, Luna Huine. My previous client was a General Manager. Haha

  • Chaitali: The Saga begins   Walking On The Eggshells

    Who could he be? I always wonder. He had to be someone special for my mother to give up her life for him. Mom jumped off the cliff for him leaving me, her own flesh and blood, behind. It has been years but the dread and yearning is always there—as if a part of me is missing. There is restlessness, grief, and vulnerability. For years, I have been a wandering spirit roaming around in search of solace. I am desperate to fill in anyhow. I wish I could see him, meet him, talk to him. I want to shake him by the collar and ask him why he did what he did. Did he really play around my mother as the wise one claims? Was there no love, devotion, and sacrifice on his part? Why did he not die along with my mother? The subjects call my mother a fool and a traitor for choosing him above all of us. Why did he mock her faith? I want to see the creature who made me so bitter. Where is he now? Who is he? How is he spending the remnants of her life without her? Why did he disappear when he

    ‘Don’t you dare!’ I hissed into Sierra’s ear. ‘What do you mean, Luna? I—’ ‘Don’t play games with me! You can’t be in two places at once!’ Sliding my arms around her, I hug her fiercely. ‘I know you want to be. I do, too. But you can’t.’ ‘I…I know. But I have to! I can’t endure this anymore.’ She narrows her eyes at me. Heaving a defeated sigh, I look out of the window. Seems like it’s the new hobby I have picked up—sulk. I sulk like I have been sulking all along. Sulk. Sulk. SULK! Outside, the downpour has reduced to drizzle. The car passes through a central square and stops in front of a tall tower. It is dull and rather shabby today. Shaach-eero is wailing in tears. ‘It’s your first time here. Are you excited?' I hear Ibhaan asking. He passes a folder to Kavish in the passenger seat and turns completely to me. I almost shiver under his gaze. ‘The dick that stretches your cunt.’ The text and the memory of a certain night in his bed with his head in-between my legs does no

    I clumsily follow Ibhaan into the Manor, switched on his side, took off my dirty footwear and thrust my bare legs in the cotton flip-flops kept exclusively for the visitors in the lounge and launch away to stare at the wall that behold glories. ‘It’s unbelievable.’ Sierra whispers in awe at the massive chain of golden-rimmed portrayls of creatures with fangs. ‘It’s like your palace in Ah–’ ‘Arin!’ Ibhaan is on my side in a snap and almost all of our eyes widen at Sierra’s slip of tongue. I momentarily freeze in the spot. Hell! Please tell me, he did not hear the ‘Ah’ of Ahi-Empire and ‘your palace’ in the sentence. ‘Arin!’ He calls again. Keeping my expression in check, I slowly turn to him with a small smile. ‘Ye…yeah!’ I pass through the ancient grandeur palace, through its triple series of open courtyards and corridors, and reached in the middle. Variayana Manor is Shaach-eero’s pride and Vetri Pond is the ‘jewel in the crown' of that pride. The premise is a benchma

    Looks like I have offended some unwanted heroes. Duh huh!‘Why have you never brought your gorgeous mates to any of my weddings before, Ibhaan? Oh, my! They are absolutely stunning, just like my fiance? Better.’ The fact that his eyes linger a bit longer on my cleavage pisses me off. I curl my palms to the side and count to ten. He notices the fury in my eyes yet smirks shamelessly. ‘Far better. I cannot believe you have been hiding them all this while. I am upset, ladies. I never get to see pretty faces. The young budding ladies-ah!’ The Old Bald Fart chuckles like a dirty pig taking a swig of his ‘blood frappe’. (It could be whiskey, mocktail, or plain coconut water for all I care. It’s blood-red, which makes it disgusting. His ugly pale hands around transparent glass worsen it.)His lust-dripping eyes rape Huine and me openly as he reluctantly tears it away and faces my fuming mate instead.My mate????? The little bitch is up in no time. My mate?? It repeats that I choose to ignor

    I am on an island. The air stirs on the waves, swirling over and around, rustling the trees in the jungle that stretched behind my back. Rows of palm trees are planted on my left with ample greenery full of pine trees and Indian Rosewood, and to my right is a fall that never ends. I am with a serpent who looks down with nothing but satisfying contentment in her orbs. A manly hand strokes my head. Snapping my head, I come face-to-face with someone I do not recognize. He is a bluehead male—tall, extremely pale and lean with a witty smirk on his face. The duo beams at me with parental affection. For a moment, the time stills as we look at each other. The couple’s smiles broaden the longer the time stretches. ‘Mommy?’ The words fly out of my mouth. Instantly, my palm cup over my mouth. I mumble the word one more time in disbelief. I have never used it aloud. At least, I do not remember using it aloud. My shivering gaze flickers over the female who nods at me with unshed tears

    Did I follow the instructions and stayed glued to my spot like a little sweet girl? Well, to answer it…Has the earth turned upside down and the wolves become vegetarian? Have the Draculas stopped sucking blood and have witches become even a cent lesser annoying crapping rainbow? Has the moon wobbled its way to become a satellite of Mercury instead because it can’t absolutely tolerate the face of the earth and the faces residing on it? Nope. Nix. Naah. Nada. None of the sorts happened. Then would it not be a great offense if I stayed put on the spot near the itchy, annoying bushes that shiver for no apparent reason while whining amorous sounds loudly pleading for more and deeper? Don’t ask me why? I neither have the answer nor wish to peep around the bushes to figure it out because I already know and so do you. It simply does not make any sense to me. Why would somebody want to do it in the open? Since when snakes have become so rakeless and bold? Does it to you? Perverts

    Lizzy's Head:The sunrise is dazzling as the Alpha and I walk hand-in-hand along the seashore to meet the informer at the designated spot for the meeting.Dhariya is alive. Of course he’d be. Bitches don’t die that easily. The moment I heard all about it. I have been numb as if somebody had pushed me a tank full of iced water and closed the opening shut. It’s suffocating and vaguely overwhelming. All this while he had been alive yet he made no efforts to find me. What a son of a bitch!? A slow breeze flirts with my blonde tresses, sending them flying everywhere to the north. ‘He must be here any minute now.’ Ibhaan mumbles, checking his smartwatch for the seventh time. He leaves my palm and rubs it all over his arms. Ibhaan hasn’t been himself for my Lord knows how long! I couldn’t understand how he’d been dealing with the admin, especially after knowing his worst enemy and his wife is breathing anywhere near him. How had he reacted when he’d known his Luna to be someone who h

  • Chaitali: The Saga begins   Minutes

    ‘Emperor Dhairya is alive.’ I was told and surprisingly, I don’t care. I know it’s the worst news to know that your worst enemy (the Chatali’s worst enemy maybe) is breathing, seething, and ready to attack yet my mind cooks up better content to focus on. ‘Alpha, how was the meeting with the Lycan?’ Kavish asked me as soon as I walked in. To my utmost dismay, he was not sitting alone. The ‘Bastards Of Chaitali’ were already there with him. Munching on my snacks and chatting animatedly about some irrelevant and probably very stupid current affair. I had entered my study with such anger and irritation that Kavish preferred to be quiet but the ‘Bastards’ did not. I knew even with Kavish the peace will be short-lived. Being the Beta of the Taksh Pack, he had to gather courage and ask his Alpha, aka me, about the meeting so he could instruct his new favorite Himanshu to record it in the miserable book of Minutes. It’s not casual when the Lycan summons someone at urgent notice including

    ‘He said that?’ The familiar voice gasps in astonishment. It has to be a response to something the other soft mumble has said. And I’ve heard it before. ‘Yes.’ The aforementioned one, reply. Its punctuation is shaken a bit. I could tell it was said with a nod at another moment. ‘I would not have believed it if it were not for my own ears. It was Alpha Ibhaan and Alpha of that...I don't remember the name but he was a wolf from some pack. I saw him at Huine’s party. A whore for a wolf, I am telling you...he tried to hit on me. I cannot even tell you the thing he asked. He...he...I think we are doing it for nothing. This cannot happen. Wolves and ser-’‘It must!’ The familiar voice is firm with determination. She is not very pleased with what has ever been told to her. On anything, it was very upset as if it had been gravely offended. ‘I don’t care if he did something so...ugh! I don’t care. It is none of my business. What matters...what matters is that he does not get to know it until

    ‘They are coming?’ I informed my mate, forgetting all about Suzan in a moment. ‘Who?’ She grumbled irritatedly. Her mood swings have become a fresh concern but I’d rather ignore them. ‘My friends.’ I told her. And there were the last words we’d exchanged before my friends arrived in the Empire. In the evening, when they finally came—‘Come out, Bastard. I’m waiting.’ I inform my friend, Adrian on the phone after I park my car outside his hotel. I just do not feel like going inside to pick him up and go through the security scrutiny for that rascal. After all, he is the shitty piece of werewolf ever inhabiting the plant. ‘Coming.’ I growl into the phone and I do not need a gypsy to interpret his adventurous night in the mystical land. ‘You asshole, you did not get up yet. Did you?’ I clutch the steering wheel tighter, gritting my teeth. I knew it. I knew it was a bad idea. What was I even thinking in the first place?It is Sunday morning, and we have to go inspect some facts to r

    It somehow personifies the restless deep with me. I’m careless of the uncertainity of future or of what would become of my territory and the Empire or whether I’d be recognized as a Lycan, or whether my mate truly is an Empress in disguise that is, if she is—I’d be tantalized at the turns of events for it’s nearly impossible for destiny to be so on point. Very often my own thoughts surpise me! I couldn’t believe never once I thought of what might have actually become of Arin and whether the captured Serpent knows anything for whom my mate is ready to wage war. ‘She knows something.’ Kavish had recently grumbled his annoyance. ‘It’s just that she is so devoted towards her mistress and the Empire that she’d rather die. And I fear their Emperor ain’t dead too.’ And from that day on, there is always a new revelation concerning the Empire and its rulers. Some even claimed that they had spotted Emperor Dhairya lurking around and I all but want to giggle like a school girl at their excl

  • Chaitali: The Saga begins   Anxiety

    Anxiety is the worst of chronic disease if it exceeds the threshold. In a way, it’s like sugar. It’s pleasant if in moderation but the moment it overloads, it’s gonna yell disaster. Moreover, the way it gives rise to desperation. It’s almost scary. My feet have grown a mind of their own. I no longer have, what do they say? Control? Precisely! I do not have control of my feet, my brain, my heart, and my body. Emotions, you say? It keeps dragging me back to the Empress’s palace behind the castle, looking down the tiny hill.The white marvelous colossal building with a fence of Deodar, Peepal, and maple trees has a magnet while my body seems to have an accelerated amount of iron. The natural laws do all the remaining work and I find myself strolling near the fountain outside the entrance at every chance I can get.There is something about the place that has captivated my heart. Or it could be the owner? Nope. Not the owner, but a portrait of the deceased owner. I just can't seem to

    Then, there was silence as…mum… well silency silence of a special silence. Arin stopped dead in her tracks, shuddering slightly. Even from a yard's distance I could hear her ragged breath. Sweat beads glistened everywhere on her face, neck, bo—everywhere. The wrath of the moments before subsided when the possibility of deadly events sunk in. ‘Damn it! I could have died.’ I was startled. The shot was ear-piercing enough to vibrate the walls of the castle. In less than two minutes, Shantanu was at my side and Himanshu and Siera were at Arin’s side.Himanshu had an impressive speed for an omega while Siera took her own sweet time, strolling near the igloo-shaped tree, huffing and puffing for every breath. I made a mental note of it. She was evidently unfit to protect Luna at this rate. ‘Alpha? Luna? Are you alright?’ Shantanu hurried once over to the guards. His flashy new fully-loaded toy is out immediately.‘Drop your weapons now!’ He commanded. ‘¡Señor! No era mi intención ofend
