Thirty minutes later, I close all doors and windows and switch off all lights. It's a childhood habit that has accompanied me all the way to adulthood. I still find it impossible to sleep with a light on. I straight away make it to bed—careless about the stuff scattered all over the floor.

However, I can give assurance with the ascertained conception that I am not to be blamed here. The mansion help has to put my comfy wears all the way to the bottom which leaves me with no other option but to ruffle through all my stuff if I wanted to get it.

It's the mansion staff and not me.

'What are you up to?' I eye my mate sleepily, stretched over the most comfortable mattress I have ever felt underneath me. Arin has changed too. Instead of the comfy wear, she has sported jogging gears. With her hair up in a ponytail, it ain't a mystery that she'd be hopping around at–glance at the wall clock–nine in the evening.

‘I am gonna take a tour around. Wanna join?’ She snaps with a sharp edge in her

  • Chaitali: The Saga begins   Mr Butler

    Every day brings new surprises and a hope to start afresh all over again. With the winter lurking around the corner, everything washes over with a new delight and fragrance. I’m a winter lover, which is why when the sun comes up like thunder over the Seoraksan, I go down to the foot of the hill, picking my way over the flower bed and misty greenery that decorated parts of the garden. During the journey, I explore the vastness of the land and all the differences it has embraced from Chaitali. I find myself listing a few first-handedly. Unlike the technologically advanced front of my pack, Ahi Empire is cocooned in nature’s lap with yellow tulips and budding roses at the front before it opens its mouth to dens and dungeons. The atmosphere is misty and the air is fresh. There is no overbearing honking of vehicles or smoke of chimneys. I am not running around the clock. Life has slowed down and so I am. It’s calming, serene, and inviting in a different sort of way that I cannot help

  • Chaitali: The Saga begins   Dominatrix

    Have you ever wandered aimlessly because nothing in life makes no sense? It’s like life is demanding and you cannot absolutely determine what it is that you want. It is overwhelmingly annoying and frustrating. But then a ray of hope breakes and everything is bright and fairy. Ahi-Empire came out to be a breath of fresh air and a rescue I did not know I needed. It’s seldom I get to breathe freely without having the security or my beta hot on my tails. Rarely, I am allowed to do the pettiest things that might be very mundane in some wolf houses like opening the window to get some fresh air, filling up a glass of bottle to drink on my own, or making toast without being nagged by a team of professionals that wants to do it for me. Growing up, many think I might be used to it. For real, I am not. My mother—‘the best Luna in history’—is always persistent, instilling humbleness in both of her pups. She’d never allowed the flames of luxury to burn the politeness, manners, and compassion o

    My eyes widened. I didn’t even the what should I feel or should I feel anything at all. ‘You…’ I am at short of words. We weren’t even married yet and here I was being humiliated by a drunken she-wolf who is probably the most spoilt she-wolf of all time. ‘I-I…’ She slurred nodding with smugness as if she was proud of slapping the breath out of me. She’d slapped me. My mate, Luna of the Chaitali, daughter of the steel king, philanthropist, diva, and an idol for millions who is known for her soft temperament—chose violence for the first time. I was shocked, baffled, and slightly offended as I was supposed to be. My eyes were cast on the floor where her stumbling feet were secured perfectly in white stilettos. It travelled up to her perfectly slender legs, small waist, heaving round mounds, her most delicious collarbone, and finally to the pretty frowning face. Arin was pouting, grinning, and squinting all at the same time. How she managed to do it is beyond me? But somehow, the f

    ‘Ye are fucking awphul, ya know. Mowr than I’d ever tho-thought.’ She stuttered jumping down from her castle on the bed. The towel roll aka the double-edged sword that she was going to use in conquering the world was still clutched tightly in her hand. I watched in bewilderment as the almighty climbed down no so graciously and marched up to me. Drunken fiery danced in her orbs when she glared at me with a snap under my nose. ‘Yer days are numbered. Ye’ stupid punk.’ She mused. I watched her eyes change shades from lighter shades to darker and darker. It rose goosebumps in my arms. ‘Ya…’ She hiccuped again, falling on my shoulder. As time went by her tone was catching the darker shade of slurries that were tentatively becoming more indecipherable. My constant ‘Ye-ye’ was getting on my nerves. Not gonna lie. If it were not for her cuteness and the fact that With her antics, she was not helping much. How did she manage to pull my stunt off in as clingy as a mermaid costume dress? Don

    The smooth lines of my suit were crushed under her tight grip. I groaned or growled or whimpered. I don’t exactly remember. But it was an amorous sound for sure. It was the first time I was listening to myself. It was embarrassing. Surprisingly, I was not taken aback as if I have been through it countless times. I might have been in deja vu. You don’t even remember. Nick shook his head at me in dismay as if he could not believe it when he was the one blocking me out every single time–upon my request, I admit. This time, I would, My voice was determined and flat. Remember it all. Do you hear me? I will remember every tiny detail like the lines on the back of my hand. Silence. That was appropriate. I waited for it to happen. For the nightmares to start unfolding. Any minute those horrific pictures from my past would ruin it all for me. I would be left to repent, sweat clad, huffing and puffing like an obese dog. I waited and waited and waited. Nothing happened. Neither were the

    I instantly slouched in the bed, missing the view and her presence. My veins pulsated in anticipation and my heart pondered in my chest. I was giddy. There was something different about her entire demeanor that night now when I think about it. I might have seen her naked countless times. It does not matter that I wanted to forget all of it because of the guilt and realization. It was unique in a sort of way. The more I was itching near her the more I yearned for her. I felt complete and fulfilled as if there was nothing left for me to conquer. She was like one of those drugs that’ll take you over in just a single drag. I was addicted voluntarily. I looked sideways at the moon fighting with the ferocious wind. It had started drizzling. I bet it was going to pour down faster than one could pronounce Robert Pattinson. Mother nature was funny. It was a storm of rebellion and revenge. The trees ruffled when the wind stole away a chunk of their leaves and dispersed it everywhere. The

    The next moment, I pushed the whole of my length inside her in one singularly calculated moment. Something incomprehensible happened that shook me to the core and simultaneously aligned with the quiver of my mate’s body. Arin squealed whether in delight or otherwise—well that could be subjective. However, as for me, I had never felt such great joy and pleasure ever in my life.I was floating in the clouds as if wings had suddenly grown from either side of my back, pushing me to a new edge with new strength. ‘I love you.’ I breathed. ‘I love this.’ My heartbeat had accelerated and my ears were hotter than the sand in the Sahara Desert. So do I.’ Arin moaned in delight. The joy in her voice gave me goosebumps. It was intense and overwhelming and conspicuous. There were sparks in the pit of my belly so puissant that I shuddered.My eyes were squeezed close but I could feel it. I could feel her. I could feel the energy surrounding us. It was very intimate and very personal. Nature cou

    The next few days were filled with angry silence or, so I comprehend ‘no-talking’, no sparing a glance, and no sleeping in the same room, to be. The corridor was our last conversation spot and last physical session. To say, I have been missing her body, her presence, and the whole of her would be an understatement. If it were not for the activities at the border, I would have lost it long back. I am afraid.‘She is not breathing the same air as I did.’ I groan my annoyance into the microphone of my fourth freshly bought phone this week. Yeah, I broke as many. Again, if it were not for those pathetic devices—where else would I have channeled my frustration? ‘She had just walked away without so much a glance and I, well I did not have any particular choice in the matter. I had to walk away. After all, how long could I have been standing there with the twitching-moustache uncle glaring at me as if it was not my mate but his only daughter who has been offended gravely?’ I cry my exasper

    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.
