Stephen's POVAfter a few hours, as per doctor smith, Aleena’s intestine was cut brutally, and because of wolfsbane in her blood, she was not able to heal. And the worst part was that her internal bleeding was not stopping. I knew what that bastard wanted to say by explaining everything, but I had promised Thunder that if he dared to say those words, then I wouldn’t stop him from ripping his throat.With each passing second, we were waiting for Ezequiel. I would have asked Eva about his position after every five minutes, but I knew that she was also keeping an update of his location while Daniel took the responsibility of bringing him here safely.We were thinking all these things when Thunder sensed the vampire’s smell. But there was not just one vampire, but two. Who was the other one? I wondered until my eyes landed on a carbon copy of Eva.What the hell?She had a twins sister?I could see a few of the staff gasping and looking at her in shock. I forget to notice the presence of a
Stephen's POV.After a while, Uncle James reached us, carrying fresh blood just like Eva had said. And I didn’t miss to look at his shocked look when he saw Eva’s mother. Well, we all were on the same team.Just like we had agreed, we had also arranged a room for him in our packhouse where Ezequiel could rest until he regained his energy.At first, none of us wanted to take him to our pack, where Nora was, but then he was our responsibility as long as he was here. So, instead of making him stay at Alpha Francis's pack where the Alpha of the pack got killed, and no one could do a thing, we place him in our pack, tightening the security of the pack a little more.“Even Aleena looks fine now. We should take her to the pack.”, I suggested. Not sure I was right about that part.“Yes! That’s a great idea. She hates staying in hospital anyways.”, Eva said. “But take her to dad’s packhouse, not ours.”“No way! I can’t trust that Lunatic Luna again. Who knows she would attack my mate again?”
Aleena’s POV.Where was I?I woke up and saw myself surrounded by nothing darkness. I got myself on my feet and started to walk the light seemed to be coming from.‘Princess,’ I gasped, knowing that voice. I looked around, searching for my dad.‘Dad?’‘Princess’‘Dad. Where are you?’ I screamed.‘Look hard, My dear.’ I heard that voice again. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening them and found dad standing in front of me, in the same cloth which he had worn when he came to my room to talk with me.‘Dad,’ I cried happily and quickly hugged him. ‘Thank god, that was nothing but a nightmare.’, I said, crying badly. Now that I had him, I wouldn’t let him go and wouldn’t miss a chance to let him know that I loved him more than anything.‘Don’t cry, Princess.’‘I thought I lost you.’, I said, breaking the hug.‘Well, that will never happen, baby girl, because I will always live in you.’, he said, cupping my face.‘What …. What do you mean?’, I stammered.‘My time has come
Aleena's POV.I quickly ran toward her.Shit!I quickly held her before she would have fallen to the ground. I smelt no one else scent in the washroom, then who the hell stabbed her. I looked around. The one-sided window of her washroom was open.Could anyone enter the washroom through it, and after killing her, he or she run away? In that case, he or she would have masked her or his scent.I tried to mindlink Noah, the beta of this pack, but then I couldn’t mind link about it.‘Aleena, quickly leave from here!’ Leia warned me.‘How can I leave mom in this state, Leia?’ I asked her and realized that Mom was breathing her last breath, I pulled the dagger out of her heart, and a lot of blood started oozing out of her body. I pressed my hand tightly to her wound to stop the bleeding.‘Didn’t I say to LEAVE? This is a bloody trap.’, She yelled at me, and the next moment I heard a lot of footsteps coming toward the room. My eyes widened when I realized the pattern and design of this dagge
Aleena’s POV.“It’s the time.”, That warrior announced from outside my cell. I nodded my help and, mustering all my energy together, and I tried to stand up on my feet because they hardly provide a proper meal to the prisoners, and on the top, the small of the wolfsbane was added to the food, causing the wolf to sleep in deep slumber. That was why I was feeling extremely weak right now. Taking support from the wall, I somehow managed to stand on my feet and then walked out.There was only one difference between the other prisoner and me: I was not treated harshly yet. Not until I would be declared guilty.“We don’t have the whole day.”, That warrior reminded me of when I was taking small steps. He sighed and shook his head. He grabbed my arms, not tightly, and started dragging me out of there! “Why did you kill your parents? For this pack?” he asked me, maybe unable to control the questions that he had for me. “Not just that you even tried to kill your sister and the future Alpha of
Aleena's POV.One by one, all the witness testimonies were asked to drink holy water.“Now, we will start by hearing the witness testimonies and the evidence collected against these crimes. I will also give her a chance to Aleena to see what she wants to say against every piece of evidence. She can defend her own case here. Once done, I will make the final decision.”, The King announced. I swallowed the lump that had just magically appeared in my throat.‘Don’t worry, little sister. As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to you. Just don’t say a word in your defense.’ I heard Eva’s words in my mind.How the hell did that happen?I tried not to look surprised after hearing her words. But how could she mind linking me without my wolf?I tried to talk to her but I couldn’t. Maybe this was only one-way communication. A little tiny amount of hope appeared in my heart. Until then, I had no idea what she would do, but if she had said so, then she would surely do something.But what if sh
Aleena's POV.“I had a doubt on her that she might do anything nasty to stop the Luna Ceremony. Because I had a feeling that she wasn’t what she shows.”“And your fear and doubt came true when you realized that all your feelings toward her changed all of a sudden when you announced choosing her as your chosen mate?”, The King asked.“No. That’s not true.”, He replied. I tried not to look surprised because of his sudden revelation. While everyone present there gasped in shock and surprise.What did he mean by that?“Can you explain your answer? Because no one is able to understand your answer ‘No. That’s not true.’”“Yes! I can.”, Stephen said. “I don’t know why Luna Penelope had written anything about love potion in the diary because I’m pretty sure that I was in the right mind and right sense when I had chosen Aleena as my chosen mate. Yes! This announcement was not less than a shock for every pack member in my pack, including my family members, but that’s true, and I believe that y
Aleena's POV.“This is the call recording of former Luna Penelope and Silas, a contracted vampire whom she had asked to kill Evangeline. And this is the real voice of both of them.”, he explained, providing a file. “Here is the forensic report of the call. As per the conversation and the evidence that I have collected until now, it looks like Luna Penelope was behind everything. And also, behind the plan to trap Aleena for her murder otherwise, what is the use of writing everything against her in a diary just a day before her death? I would like to call my mother, Luna Chloe, now.”“Sure, go ahead.”“So, Mom! The day when Aleena was stabbed, we were in the hospital. Where were you?”“Emma and I were with Luna Penelope because we were worried about her state of mind. But later, when she woke up, she was acting normal. She went to the study room in which Alpha Francis was killed and spent all her time over there and had asked us not to disturb her. We did just like she had asked us to
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
