“At this rate, the Bride will get there before us!”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Four)




 




31st August 2231




 




“B…!”  My husband bellowed from
downstairs. “It’s10.45 AM, this thing starts in fifteen minutes!”




As usual, Declan was dressed and ready and waiting downstairs; whereas I
rushed about our bedroom half dressed and undecided on what shoes or even a
coat to wear, with my formal outfit.




“At this rate, the Bride

“He thought Werewolves were sexist, archaic, primitive beasts.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)


 


When the male Werewolves began to think up a roster over the next month,
I lost the last of my already short patience and broke away.  To look like I wasn’t sulking, I returned to
the seat beside Sharon
as if I were returning to a previous conversation.  The women smiled and then recommenced their
discussion about the escalating cost of childcare

“However no-one talks of a female Lokoti Werewolf because to outsiders, there’s no such thing.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 


6th
August, 2226


 


Three days later, the family as well as the tribe, attended my cousin’s
funeral on the Holy Grounds before the Sacred Totems.  I clung to Declan’s arm through the service
and it was like my mate literally held me up. 
The Tribal Elders sang the funeral chant as the pyre burned the body
wrapped in the woven funeral shroud, as

“Your aura has faded.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 

The time was approaching 10 PM when we left the Riverclaw’s and went
home.  Declan powered down his vehicle in
the garage before turning my way.  He
opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated to look on concerned.  


“What?”  I wondered. 


“Your aura has faded.”  He
remarked unhappily.  “How about I make us
some fettuccine carbonara with

Lokoti Werewolves aged slower than their human wives or members of the tribe.

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 


The tribe was used to Declan’s and my extended youth because the
fourteen other members of the pack could live up to 200 years.  Lokoti Werewolves aged slower than their
human wives or members of the tribe.  Our
people held the Werewolves in high esteem because of their history of
protection.  In return, the tribe guarded
the identities of the pack

“We ran into some trouble with some Asian Werewolves.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 




Although the old Riverclaw home was just down the hill from ours, we
still drove in Declan’s metallic black, plasma-powered, pick up truck.




The Lokoti Tribe lived in the World Heritage Listed, Lokoti National Park.  We were situated in the Alaska Range
approximately 4.5 hours north of Anchorage and
1.5 hours south of Fairbanks.  The tribal

“I was actually hoping to solicit your services as a surprise for my wife.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 


I whirled around and stormed back over to the coffee table to begin to
pack up my work.  “Whatever!  Keep the frickin’ laptop!  I have back-ups of my work and diaries stored
in the Circulate Mainframe on Taurus Six anyways.”


I was so angry, my hands were shaking again as my nose started to
run.  I wasn’t crying, but I didn’t want
it to look like I

“I knew you weren’t in any danger.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter Two)




 




Wearily, I rubbed my face as my husband wouldn’t shut up.  The deep breathing wasn’t working and I could
feel my previous anger begin to boil up again. 





“Thanks for your concern, B. 
Thanks for just leaving me like that. 
Thanks for not asking me how I got home or if I was OK or if the Asian
Werewolves came back to have another go -”

“My wife instantaneously phased home and left me by a broken down car in the middle of nowhere.”

(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter
Two)




 


I stayed up until dawn because I knew if I went to bed, I wouldn’t be
able to get any sleep.  So I busied
myself by doing laundry and cleaning out my backpack before storing it away in
the attic.


For comfort food, I cracked open a jar of Nutella.  I curled up on the couch, spooning out the
delicious chocolate hazelnut spread as I ate it straight.
