All Chapters of Chaitali: The Saga begins: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

‘Dear Lord! Lizzy? Oh My God! What have you done to this room and yourself? Have you lost your mind? Lily is fine. We will get her out soon. We are working on it. At least give us some time.’ Her voice trails off as she takes a little tour around the room and panics. ‘Lizzy?’ I hear her wailing, questioning voice. Yet, I deny looking up and meeting her eyes. She has been my subordinate ever since I remember. One of the many magnificent Queens of our Empire. Had it happened pre-war, I would have been ashamed enough to bundle myself up and throw myself in the water. Now, circumstances have changed. Together, we have been through enough to get comfortable under our own skin around each other. ‘He hit me.’ I whisper in a barely audible voice but I know she has heard me. This Serpent heard me. Sierra lightly gasped. ‘Al…alpha?’ The disbelief in her voice piques me. What is so hard to believe, huh? Yes, it’s that damn freaking Alpha. My enemy and soon-to-be mated mate. ‘You are s

A tangerine has spread to the sky in the waves of voluminous illumination as the sun prepares to bid adieu. It’s too chaotic and crowded to feel the sensation of nature. Still, almost inevitably my eyes keep flickering back to the hovering birds twerking in the distance. ‘Umm…have I wronged you in any manner, Luna?’ Himanshu, the walking CCTV, asks through a mouthful of butterscotch with extra Choco chips. Sierra and I raise a questioning eyebrow at him. ‘You have been a bit cold with me.’ He explains sheepishly, averting his eyes to a she-wolf in a white bikini. Mechanically, my eyes follow his and damn! What a sight it was. She was shooting a yoga video. A natural calmness radiated from her face like anything. Her waist-length hazelnut hair flirted with the wind, a bit smug to have secured a position on her head. ‘Sexy!’ Sierra and I nod solemnly. Himanshu blushes crimson. Did I mention he looks absolutely cute in it. ‘He is cute.’ Sierra blurted it aloud, making his ch

____________________________________ Twenty years back... (Omma’s POV) The night sky illuminated the streets alongside the passing cars. The weather was as cold as it could get. I watched him intertwine his hands in hopes of warming up just a bit. I do not mimic his actions. Instead, I rub my palms all over my arms. A small grin radiated on his face. ‘I do not understand you, mother. You yelled at me for being so loud when you were trying to sleep and now you are walking me to the store in thirteen degrees. Why are she-wolves so complicated?’ Si-Hyuk chuckled, looking over my shoulder. His instincts were alert as always when both of us knew we were strolling in the safest of the places out there. Chaitali was our own town. It was the wolf’s territory but Si-Hyuk was trained to doubt the smooth waters. Being a spy, he has learnt to be alert and over-cautious. In his books, anything could be dangerous, even walking beside the she-wolf who had born him in her womb for three month

The next morning Si-Hyuk was gone to some distant land, shuffling through forbidden truths, dodging bullets, and knocking off enemies. If not? Well…I’ve always imagined him doing it. His work ethic refrained him from telling me about the locations and parties or matters incidental thereto. Mysteries surrounded him wherever he went. His work was always confidential and beyond the bounds of danger. As a General, he was expected to be at places of all sorts to finish tasks that could not have been undertaken by anyone but his brave soul faced it head unfazed by the threat. To date, I am clueless about his work regimes, clients, and informers. I have received and answered dozens of his correspondence past his demise. Alpha Vinayaka told him, he received messages almost daily but none could comprehend the coded language he used to communicate with his informers. I do not know how he served the Pack or how he met Lavinia —the mistress of a rich businessman. Only he had to undertake mul

The end of the world is here. If not the whole universe, at least I will be a slice of dead meat soon. ‘You are gonna do what?’ I gape at my would-be a bride is nothing less than sheer astonishment. To say, I am stunned would be an understatement. I am shocked by the state of paralysis. ‘I am gonna defend Lily in the court of law. I would be her attorney. I have a degree for nothing. I will bring her out. She did not commit a crime. Roaming around Shaach-eero ain’t a sin. Why is she being treated like an animal? Because she is a serpent? Nope! It won’t be happening anymore. She is as much a supernatural as I am!’ Arin hisses in my ear. And for once, I am grateful for her whispering. I have yet to properly apologise for the violence and I was about to come begging at my knees. I just never got the right time. I had to fly all the way to Daisis’es Regiment for a deal. Meanwhile, Mr Jindal seized the opportunity to steal her away. And now…I am not sure of anything.‘Are you mad?’ I s
