Lily? Poor Lily! What'd Kavish be doing with her? He'd always been intrigued by her. Could there be something that shouldn't be there? Please let me know what you think. Vote. Comment. Recommend.
‘What do you mean you are not going?’ Ibhaan retorts, equally exasperated. The dusk has already taken over the sky. We are home. His home and I am not going out of here before I have all the answer I need. Dear pseudo father, I am sorry! He throws his phone and laptop on the bed. I watch the sleek device bounce a couple of times before settling in the middle. The tiny notification lights blink at the top beside the camera. It vibrates with what I assume is an incoming message. ‘You know what I mean. I am not moving an inch from here.’ I counter, coming eye-to-eye. However, I instantaneously flinch when a pair of red eyes stare back at me. It's Nick. Ella grovels. Her hisses are venomously low. She slithers agonisingly. Her rage is my power. She yearns for action. I don't blame her. The creature is the most disgusting piece of shit one can ever come across. Ruthless, insensitive, dominating, cunning, selfish, murderer...I can stretch it till eternity. I can donate both of my kid
Minutes roll over before the realisation dawns upon me. It comes crashing down in tangled emotions that are too much to divulge. A reservoir of untamed emotions crashes me from shore to shore. I was drawn into endless miseries that were nothing more than a death choke. He has hit me. I am enraged because I am startled. He wanted to hurt me. He despises me. I just wait for the smoke to come out of my ears. I want the rage to take over me. Why would he do that? My conscience wonders. I ask Ella but she ain’t there. Has he smacked my serpent out of me? Does he want me to see my rightful place? Is that what he thinks about me? A wild horse that has to be tamed? He wants to overpower me. But did he not say we are equal in our relationship? Weren’t we supposed to be friends? And friends don’t disrespect each other. They trust each. They have each other’s back. Was I too wrong in expecting all of it from him? No male is ever different. Everything is just a facade. You just have
'Dear Lord, please tell me how to unexist?' I groan into the pillow, stifling a shriek that chokes my throat. Stop breathing. As simple as that! That voice again. Aish Bitch! You are goddamn pricking on my nerves. You wanna get your ass beaten? I retorted. Bold of you to believe I do not wanna die. It retaliates with the same sassiness. It's a million times better than being a Lycan with ya. ‘Who the fuck are you?’ I snap, bouncing up in a sitting position. The messy tangles of blonde hair fall all over my face. My hands still clutch the sheets tightly as I peek at a boo of my surroundings. The sun has settled down the seabed, leaving a misty tinge of tangerine and crimson after it. In the moonless sky, tiny stars twinkle in a cluster chain, marking the shape of a head. I neither have the energy nor the strength to figure out the creature. However, it does seem like a significant celestial occurrence. I do not care, which makes me wonder if, instead of an Empress serpent on v
The dawn flicks its wings when the sun peeps through the dark clouds, breaking into another horrible day. I bathe in its rays and watch the night give way to one of the most dreadful mornings of my life. The invigorating aroma of coffee invades my nostrils. I am grumpy due to fatigue and exhaustion. Anger has drained me out both mentally and physically and tiny stars blink in my vision. I am not sure how long I can hold it within me before collapsing. Still, I am holding it together. How? Don't dare even ask me. Across me, the ferocious waves have subsided to calmness. Its tranquillity mingles with the shore in soft puddles. It justifies its name by being pacific for once. BUT, IT MUST BE ALL CHIRPY WHEN I AM STRUGGLING WITH AN INTERNAL STORM. The cleaning staff is busy collecting trash that has been flooded along the waves while health freaks stretch and chase around. I wish I could be as happy as them. I smack myself internally. Where did this come from? Throughout the ni
‘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
‘Lizzy! Lord! Are you okay? What’s wrong? Look at me. Fucking, tell me what did you see? Just breathe, okay. Look at me and just breathe.’ Sierra lightly slaps my face but it does not nothing to erase the image out of my mind. ‘Yaak! What the fuck? My eyes!’ For the first time in three days, I am not pissed off scrolling through the internet, I am fucking horrified and steamed. ‘What is in there? What did you see?’ Seh quizzed confused. When my wide eyes do not shrinken to it original size, she takes it upon herself to check the screen. And oh, my! Sierra giggles in amusement at my perplexed state. ‘You are horrified of this? Well…what are you exactly terrified of? Alpha or the dick?’ ‘SIERRA!’ I reprimand her. ‘What? I am just asking, okay. Why don’t you change it if it disgusts you so much?’ Sierra asks. ‘I don’t think you need to be reminded of what the Alpha is capable of doing or maybe he might have done it already. Since you don’t remember? Luna is quite hot though!’
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
After rifling through the pages of ‘A short guide for impactful writing’, I reach out for the fourth one, cursing unique obscenities under my breath. I flip through it absently like the previous one and search for the significant content that could help me draft my own. ‘It won’t help you, you know.’ Sierra rolled her eyes at me. ‘Yeah! It’s not the title I am looking for. There are just too many of them.’ ‘I wasn’t talking about the book, Lizzy. I am talking about Alpha Ibhaan. It won’t help you. In fact, you’d be only more exhausted.’ ‘Help? Who said I need help? What are you talking about? I am working to get Lily out. Piss off.’ I growl, eyeing the massive wall portrait behind her shoulder. How did Ibhaan come in all of it? ‘He cannot come when he has always been there.’ Ella taunts. It has already been two days and I have never heard about anyone from anyone. But that’s okay. Like Whatever! Who cares if my wedding is scheduled and the entire Jindal Mansion is buzzin
