Stephen's POV.Aleena was 22 years old, and it meant her wolf would have experienced everything in the last four years. Thunder wanted to know more about her. And only I knew how much my wolf wanted to talk to her but couldn’t because neither she was from our pack nor our mate.I didn’t have any problem with him getting friendly with her wolf until he fucking LICKED her face.‘Thunder.’, I growled at him.‘Can you please not disturb me at this moment?’ he asked in a calm tone.‘She’s Aleena’s wolf. It’s fine till friendship, but this is going away farther than that.’, I reminded him. But he ignored me and licked her again. I could see that even her wolf was thinking in the same way as me when she shook her head and stepped away from us.Thankfully, someone was intelligent over here, but Thunder being Thunder, her signal didn’t stop him from doing what he had decided. After a while, he convinced her by nuzzling against her soft fur.I mentally slapped myself, seeing them spending time
Aleena’s POV.I didn’t know what was wrong with the Beta, but he was furious and irritated. I would have given that credit to me if he weren’t pissed from the moment I opened my eyes after everything that happened in the morning. Even Leia was extremely quiet.Did she go into depression or something because of the rejection?I didn’t know she wasn’t talking to me. It was not that we were kind of best friends who used to share each and everything, but for the first time, her silence was bothering me.I wanted her to go away and always used to shut her up, but when she was doing this on her own, then I felt some sort of emptiness.‘Leia, I’m sorry. But you can’t blame me for whatever happened in the morning, just like you had asked me. I didn’t reject him first. It’s just that I accepted his rejection without a fight, and I know you are in pain because of that.’ I tried to talk with her when I saw her sleeping in my mind with her eyes closed.‘I know you need a mate, and I promise to g
Aleena's POV.Perhaps I could close the mind link or pretend to be sleepy and close the mind link. My mother wasn’t that stupid; who wouldn’t catch my drama.She would know something was up.This was the woman whose womb I had come out of.More seconds ticked away as nothing came out of my mouth.Shit.A few more seconds ticked away.Shit, Shit, Shit.‘Where were you throughout the day?’ Mom asked, more like a Luna asked.‘Alpha Liam rejected me, and I accepted his rejection before Leia could share her input on it. I didn't bother to know what she wanted to do with his rejection. I took that decision on my own. And after that, I fainted because of the enormous pain. That’s why you couldn’t reach me through the mind link.’‘I can’t believe you, Aleena. Being mean to others is understandable, but how could you be so mean to another half. I can’t imagine how she would be feeling right now.’, My mother said. I could already imagine her head shaking in disapproval. She didn’t want my wolf
Leia’s POV.The moment Aleena fell into a deep sleep. I took control of her and blocked her. I couldn’t thank her mom for this idea.As usual, I was sitting silently and was cursing over my fate until I concentrated on her words. I realized that I had to take a stand for myself because if not now, then I would never be.Just like people say, ‘Take responsibility for your own happiness, never put it in other people's hands.’ And thinking about everything that happened today, I knew with whom I could find my happiness. I had barely left the bed when I heard someone’s voice in my mind.‘Leia’Was someone trying to communicate with ME? But how did that voice know that it wasn’t Aleena, but I was in charge of the body.‘Because I know.’ I heard that female voice again.‘Who are you?’ I asked her. Because I had never heard that voice before, I doubt that Aleena knew someone with that voice.‘My name is Ivory. I’m Evangeline’s Lycan wolf.’ she responded, and slowly an image of a huge beauti
Leia's POV.I slowly knocked on the door of Stephen’s room, checking in all the directions so that no one could see me!! Soon, the door was wide open, and Stephen narrowed his eyes, looking at me.Okay! He was not happy to see me here, in front of his room at this hour.“What are you doing here?” he asked rudely but in a low tone.I didn’t know what I was thinking before coming here.It was his wolf who showed some affection toward me.Now that his human was in control, he would surely kick me away from him.“I…I’m sorry.”, I apologized. “I should never have come here in the first place.”, I muttered and turned around to leave, but immediately he held my wrist and pulled me closer to him. I lifted my head and saw his golden eyes. Pulling me inside the room, he closed the door behind us.“Please don’t mind, my human. He is….” he paused, not able to find any suitable word for his human.“...not that friendly?” I asked, wondering if he wanted to say that.“Kind of.”, he said, shaking hi
Leia's POV.Did Ivory want to direct her hint in this way?Of course, Aleena was not a kid who could easily come under someone's influence, but then, ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’But the question was, ‘why the hell was she giving all these ideas to Aleena?’That day nothing interesting happened in my life except for watching the same episode of my human drama throughout the day.“Are you ready?” I asked immediately after he closed the door behind me.“Sorry, Leia! I don’t think I can run with you tonight. Stephen has a lot of pending words which he has to finish, and I doubt we will get a chance to spend time together for the next couple of days.”, he apologized.“It’s okay! I can understand.”, I said in an understanding tone.“Won’t you ask me what is that work which is keeping me this busy?” he asked when he saw that I wasn’t going to question him about his work.“No. I think your work part should be kept as a secret because yo
Aleena’s POV.The moment I opened my eyes and my senses returned, I felt like I had been bathed with a bullet full of perfume.What the hell, Leia?‘What did you do last time because of which you pour so much perfume on my clothes and body?’ I hissed at her. I would have questioned more about hiding something or hiding someone’s scent or more, but that’s when my eyes landed on the broken bottle of perfume.I sighed, realizing I was thinking unnecessarily. She wasn't trying to hide any smell from me. Maybe she accidentally broke the bottle last night. If she had been hiding something from me, then she would have surely changed the clothes or something.‘Clumsy wolf.’, I muttered. I made a mental note to get this mess clean as soon as possible because my room was filled with so much perfume that it was invading me from smelling something else. I ran into the washroom to freshen up and made up my mind to talk with that Beta to know Daniel’s and Eva’s location before I lost my mind.I ha
Aleena's POV.After that breaking news, everyone, literally everyone, held Eva and wanted to know the vivid story of everything that happened between her and Daniel. And in that situation, if I had gone into my room to plan something against her, then they would have thought that I wasn’t happy with my sister’s happiness, and exposing my true face in front of my in-laws was not a good decision.So, reluctantly I stayed there listening to her so-called adventurous love story without any interest in my heart.‘Aleena. What am I listening to?’ Mom's mind linked all of a sudden.‘How shall I know that?’ I questioned back, feeling frustrated.‘Tomorrow is that bitch’s Luna ceremony.’‘Yeah! You heard it, right. Not just that, they had marked each other before I could have done anything.’, I grumbled. ‘Now, I can’t wait to discover Eva’s weakness. I have to choose Plan B, which I had planned to use on Daniel earlier.’‘You mean witch portion?’‘Yes! I had kept it in my rose water bottle in
Aleena’s POV.“It seems like you have learned a lot of things in the future.”, He said, crying and grinning happily.“I…I’m not from the future.”, I lied bluntly.“Sweetheart, I’m not that intelligent like you, but at least don’t think me dumb.”, he joked, on which I bit my inner cheeks to stop myself from admitting it. “Your hair… “, he paused before continuing, “... is now longer than the Aleena who just went on a date.”He observed that?“Well, it wasn’t just Stephen, but I was also observing you went you were walking toward him. It was just that there was a time that you were not able to walk properly without help, and your legs used to tremble while walking, and today you were taking long and confident steps.”, he added. “On the top, I know the power of Eva.”I tried not to cry but started crying, “Yes, I’m from the future. And I had to say a lot of things to you.”, I cried, hugging him tightly in my arms.”“Sure!! I’m all yours to listen.”*After a few hours!!In between this,
Aleena’s POV.Immediately something struck my head. Eva could time travel, right? She had the power to do that. Then could she send me to the past? On the night when dad had died?‘Eva, Can you send me to the past by using your power?’ I asked my sister through the mind link, which where was connected because of blood.‘Yes! I can do that. But what happened? Why …. Hold on, you want to meet dad, don’t you?’‘Yes! I… I never got a chance to say three things to him ‘sorry, thank you, and I love you. And I will have to stay my whole life with this guilt. So, can you please, please help me?’‘Let me inform my mate before disappearing all of a sudden. He would go insane.’, She said, not denying my request.‘Are we leaving now?’‘Yes.’, She closed the mind-link after saying that. Now that she had to inform her mate. I thought to inform mine, but something came across my mind, and I didn’t.‘Let’s see how he will react when I disappear all of a sudden.’‘What the hell. You’re thinking of to
Aleena’s POV.One month later!!.“So, this area of the pack’s security needed to be increased.”, I explained to both my Beta Noah and Head Warrior, Hudson, about it, to which they nodded.Yes! You read it, right! Hudson chose to become the Head Warrior of both the packs. During these two months, I realized that he didn’t give to any position. I didn’t know the real reason behind it, but Leia sensed that Hudson’s wolf was Alpha by blood. Except for this, no one knew a thing about him. No surname, no pack name, from where he landed in Fire Cross Pack, no one knew about it.He was mysterious but loyal, and if we are talking about his mate, Paige. Then she had cleared that she wouldn’t reject him until he gave her the reason for rejection. At the same time, she wasn’t someone who would cry at the thought that her mate wanted to reject her but was one of them who tortured her mate by making him jealous all the time by hanging out with Noah.I hope her plan will backfire on her.“Lina,” M
Stephen’s POV.Her eyes landed on mine, and I could see the need for me in the depth of her beautiful eyes.“Stephen,” She cried out. “Please stop the pain.”I climbed onto the bed and reached near her, caressing her face, removing hairs from her face, and in the next moment, she grabbed my neck and slammed her lips against mine while her hand started touching all over my body. I held her hand and broke the kiss.“Not in this way, Lina.”, I said, shaking my head. “You want me just because of the heat.”, I added, on which she kept looking at me in pain for a while. And then pulled her hand from my grip, flipped our position, and sat on my abdomen. She started grinding her pussy against my cock, but I could feel the thin wet cloth of her panties between her pussy and my cock, and that was irritating the hell out of me.“I…. I have pills to control the heat, but I waited for you. And do you still think that ….”, She held my hand and made it touch over her thighs “....that I want you bec
Aleena’s POV.I tried to mind link Stephen again, but I couldn’t. Why was that?He had asked me to wear this, but he hadn’t mentioned the time. I meant, when was he planning to take me with him?I was feeling tired, so should I rest for a while or get ready immediately? I tried to mind link Paige as well, but I couldn’t.That reminded me that I had now taken the position of Alpha in Fire Cross Pack, which was another pack. If one wouldn’t break the link with his or her previous pack, then the link automatically gets a break after twelve hours.That was why I was not able to connect with Stephen first, not Paige.‘I started missing his voice in our mind already.’, Leia whined as if I was enjoying this news.‘Then why don’t you complete the mark and mate with him?’, She asked, on which I ignored her.“Paige?” I yelled, hoping she to listen to it after she was a werewolf. “Can you please come to my room?” I added and sat on the bed. After a while, she walked with a smile on her face.I
Aleena's POV.After a while, I left there, and Paige tagged along with me by giving an excuse to her parents that she would make sure that I would feel alone. And Nora, well, even she wanted to join me too, but it seemed like her family knew her reason for coming with me, so they stopped her.I didn’t say anything about that because it was her fight, and she had to fight on her own if she wanted to stay with her mate.The more I was reaching near the packhouse, the more I could sense Paige’s wolf getting restless.What was wrong with her?In fact, instead of running with me, she started running ahead of me when we finally reached the pack. For a while, I thought it was her excitement, but what could excite a wolf?I just stayed behind and observed where she was going. She was my responsibility, so I had to keep her safe and protected if required. She ran near my new Beta, Hudson, and purred, looking at him.Okay! Tell me that this was exactly the same thing that I was thinking.When
Aleena's POV.“Fine. But let me tell you that I won’t be easy on you both in the name of FAMILY or FEMALE. And if you both can survive a week with me, then the training will start.”, I warned. Whatever I was today, I had trained harder for that because of staying in a boarding school full of Alpha pups. It was not easy to survive without getting bullied. I wouldn't get that no one bullied me when I was new there, but each and every day, I had to prepare myself to be better and stronger.“Thank you! Thank you!", They both jumped on, hugging me tightly. I hesitated at first but eventually hugged them back.“Great then! Along with Stephen, we two will also join your pack.”, Paige said happily, breaking the hug.“Yes! In that way, we can finally step out of our comfort zone. Because we can never change our lives until we step out of our comfort zone; change begins at the end of our comfort zone.”, Nora said with determination.“But before that, do discuss it with your parents without kee
Aleena’s POV.“Noah! Let everyone in the pack know that Eva is fine! I’m sure a lot of pack members would be worried for her.”“Okay. Alpha.” he nodded his head.“By the way, you’re here? Is it because to know Eva’s situation?” I asked, arching my brow.“No, Alpha. I have updated the status of the pack.”, he corrected me. Well, What could I say! I was still new to all these things. “I have done a headcount of the warriors we lost, and we have lost four warriors from this pack and seven warriors of Stone Moon pack.”“Oh!”, I mumbled. I couldn’t feel that because I hadn’t taken an oath until now. Because as an Alpha, in case of death of any pack member, he or she could feel the pain. “And how many are injured?” I asked.“Yes! I was coming to that part. Around 12 warriors are injured of this pack and 19 warriors pf Stone Moon pack.”“Hmm. Prepare for the funeral for the warriors that sacrificed their life and ….” I paused before speaking, “Do whatever you used to do with the family of t
Aleena's POV.I looked at Stephen, and he looked as if he was in great thought about whether to answer me or not.“Do you know what? Don’t answer that question because your silence answered me everything.”, I added, gritting my teeth.“Before you start thinking anything evil about it, I want to clear something, Lina. I, too, had misunderstood her when you were stabbed, but I got my answer immediately when I asked her instead of making an assumption. Do you know what did she answer me, ‘I tried, Stephen. I tried. I told him what was coming next for him and also told him his death impacted Aleena. But do you know what he asked me to do? To not change a thing. It was not that he wanted anyone of us to see in pain, most importantly his little princess, because he knew his death would affect her the most. But it was the last part of his job as a father.I couldn’t stop anyone’s death, but if not today, then that person will die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because that’s his fate. I
