‘Another Left, you said?’ Kavish asks the third time, peeping at me through the rear-view while my brain is still weaving through the endless number of faces I might have seen in my life. None resembles his. And it is exhausting for me. I could not figure out his identity. Surely, he cannot just be a bodyguard to the hunk licking ice-cream from his fingers innocently oblivious to the sensation he is leaving in my p****y. Newspapers? Tabloid? Billboard? On a condom pack? The misty green eyes rake over me rather suspiciously. And what have I, your royal highness, done to earn the glances? It’s a long story and may have everything to do with the amount of lefts I have been telling him to take from the past ten minutes or something. Where do those lefts take me? I don’t bloody care. ‘Besides. Nothing is ever right in my life. Why refrain myself from taking all the wrong lefts.’ I mumble under my breath not loud enough for either of them to hear it. The icecream is over—mine is—becau
A diminishing fireball peeps from the dark adamant cloud. It struggles to make its appearance once in a while and gives up when the heavy clouds deny giving way. The air is soothingly chilly and so is the rainy climate. Duong is drenched with occasional drizzles accompanied by heavy downpours. Alongside ferocious thunder and reckless wind echoed high notes and beats in the surrounding neighborhoods, scaring away the flying creatures. The master at the piano is an aged expert who has witnessed and survived more monsoons than there are creatures on the planet; the neverending Daeyang. The vastness of the ocean resembles a ballerina twirling in delight. It moves in synchronisation with nature posing challenges to the vessels struck in its belly. Sometimes it would engulf the vessels in its long, wet arms from all sides and sweep the crews across one edge of the board to another, earning curses and shrills of protest over its mischief. Other times, it would melt into jelly and swin
The hotel reeks of power and luxury even from its back profile. There are floors on floors with glass windows, balconies overlooking the marvellous ocean, and palm trees. At a quarter to ten, it is illuminated brightly with glittering lights, chandeliers, and enchanting fountains. ‘This place is…’ ‘Awesome. Damn! I never knew something like this existed anywhere near Duong. It’s like we are–’ ‘Back in our castles. Dude, I missed this life so fucking much.’ Julie whistles, opening her slender arms wide open. ‘Hey! You, there!’ A voice yells from somewhere behind. ‘Stop goofing around and bring your cunt here. We ain’t have all night. Lemme count you, pussies. Line up!’ The in-charge—I honestly have no idea what a whore-manager is called—brandishes in a drunken slurry voice that urges me to punch the life out of him. ‘Ugh! Can we increase the number of kills we are allowed? I badly want to smack this pimp to Halujava island.’ Sierra snarls under her breath, glaring daggers at the
‘Holy Moly!’ My mouth falls open as soon as we pass the dim, stinky back corridor that opens in an adjacent hall. The hall resembles…well a hall. What else would an open space with lounges, big portraits of grinning wolves, stupid vases and glass windows look like? It’s your regular waiting lounge irrespective of the location and it kicks me pathetically back in nostalgia. ‘I miss my castle so much.’ Ella pouts. ‘I miss it too, Sweety. Those yellow and red roses. Those flower beds, our study, the painting room, the soft fluffy bed, our living room with those special lights that we especially imported from Vampan, and the closet. My clothes!’ I miss all of it. I had modified every corner of My Manor myself. From the colour on the walls to the hangers, pictures, and crockeries—I chose every single one of them myself. It was my special place. My kingdom where I had absolute control over my life. ‘Ahan.’ I signed. ‘I wonder if I’ll ever be able to get back to that place.’ ‘Alright, b
No. I won’t accept this. This cannot be happening. The lord cannot be this unfair. It has to be an error. Some clumsy mistake by my God’s stupid secretary on cocaine. That punk has to be high while scribbling my destiny. Trust me, it’s not common for someone to be an Empress once second and an escort the other. You have to be born in the wrong segment of time. Whatever! I want to strangle that dick. My life was not a fucking play toy to mess up. You, son of a bitch. No. I want a refund. My money back. This is a deficiency in service. Where can I sue God’s department for Assignment of Destiny? Anyone? No? Noooooooo. What am I supposed to do? Die? Out of all the filthy creatures in the world? Billions of permutations and combinations? It has to be him. In here? Gaah! I cannot take it. I am choking. I want to pass out. Dear Darkness, please engulf me. Take me? I wanna be dead. Anything just to get away from here…far, far away from this miserable world. ‘Umm…Empress? Are you ok
One wicket down! I smirk, peeking from behind the curtains. Across the room, Julie and Sierra share a funny look. Both of them are as clueless as the presently weeping Alpha is. ‘Would somebody tell me what the hell happened? Arin! Arin! Wake up! Open your eyes! Arin!’ The jerk jerks his mate’s limp body by the shoulder to get a response out of her. None came. None will come!I wish for her soul to be travelling in some LA-La Land on its way to the hell where she belongs. ‘WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHY IS MY MATE NOT RESPONDING?’ Alpha Ibhaan snaps at his beta as he gives another violent jerk to an unconscious and visibly swollen Luna.It’s all vivid after that. A scene straight out of an Action/Thriller movie that’s surprisingly pleasing. Alpha Ibhaan falls on his knees before his would-be wife with a crestfallen expression straight out of the opera. Beside him Beta Kavish is alarmed. He punches keys in his cell phone as he furiously barks orders to subordinate
‘You have to make it work, bitch or you are dead to me.’ Ella hisses in my head. The wound Alpha has given us is still afresh. I squeeze my eyes close with a sigh. Ishir…I cannot believe I have been obsessively thinking about the Alpha all this while without cringing at once. It breaks my heart. It hurts. Why? Why do I feel this burn in my chest when I see concern in his eyes for his mate? Am I burning in agony? I have been waiting for this minute for three long and miserable years. I have endured the mortifications and torture all at your faith and words. I cannot survive a day more seeing the punk smiling triumphantly at his achievements. But then, why do I feel anger instead of nothing but pure joy?‘Move! Arin. Arin.’ I can still hear his voice. It makes my throat go dry. Why? Why does he sound so worried? They are childhood friends. Surely, he might know she wouldn’t die so easily. He doesn’t have to sound like her life is treading on thin line and that she might give up on
‘Bruhhhhh…You showed them. You showed them. You showed them.’ Sierra gushes over in a whisper as we shuffle past a group of young wolves smoking their lungs out. They eyed us hungrily and whistled. ‘Looking for a company hottie. Lemme take ya home.’ The tallest in the lot grunts, practically eye-raping Sierra. ‘Keep dreaming jerk.’ Sierra retorts, fisting her palms to the side. She rolled her eyes at him and kept walking. I marvel at her patience with the lewd. Maybe she has gotten used to such derogatory comments while working as a waitress. ‘I’ll fuck ya in my dream. Though I’d prefer reality. Wanna do ya say. In the car trunk?’ His equally lecherous companions guffaw at his comments. Ella hisses in my head. I swear I want to shred life out of his body bit by bit. Who does he think he is dealing with? Sierra is a queen. How could someone talk to a female like that? Is this the best his mother could do? I personally hate this about the wolf. The pups' production occurs in bulk
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
‘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
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
