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.“I must say, Aleena! You’re the one hell lucky woman to be blessed by such an amazing mate.”, The werewolf king commented.I saw her quickly rushing toward me, but Daniel grabbed her arms, removing his grip from her arms. She glared at him and then ran toward me with a smile.But I sensed something.Her scent… it had been changed again.It meant only one thing now.‘She is pregnant.’, Leia chirped. Immediately a vivid memory of me running around Mom came in front of me happily, shouting that I was going to big sister now.Then mom’s words came to my mind, ‘The weakest phase of any woman is when she is pregnant.’‘I hope you’re not thinking of hurting Eva and her unborn baby.’, Leia said, knowing very well how my mind works.‘No! I’m not thinking anything. At least, not now.’, I responded, and by that time, Eva hugged me tightly and kissed my head.Was she serious?I hadn’t taken a bath for the last five days, and she was kissing someone like me. While this was going on,
Aleena's POV.“Why did you apologize to me? And by thinking what all things, you apologized to me?” he asked, walking toward me.“That’s because I wanted you to know that ‘I’m sorry for what I did to you was wrong’ and ‘I feel bad that I tried to deceive you.”“A proper apologies have three parts. You have mentioned the first two. What is the third part?” he asked, coming closer toward me. Even though I was a hard time concentrating on his question because of his nakedness, I replied to him.“‘What can I do to make it right? OR How do I make this better?’”, I replied.“Don’t you think you miss this part? Because as far as I remember, you ran away from there instead of making things right. Whatever I have known about you, I can say that you’re a strong woman, Lina, who stands and deal instead of running away. And where were you going by leaving your dad’s pack members and your family in this situation?”Tears started brimming in my eyes hearing him, and before I didn’t realize it, the
Aleena’s POV.Next Morning!!When I woke up, I found myself under Stephen’s naked body.Don’t tell me that something happened between us.‘Leia’‘Even though that idea is tempting. No, nothing happened between us.’, She grumbled. ‘By the way, until when you’re going to stay a virgin?’‘Shut up.’At first, I thought to push Stephen harshly, but then the memories from the suite flashed in front of my eyes, and I knew if I didn’t want the same treatment from him, I shouldn't be doing the same with him. I tried to loosen his grip around me, but it looked like he was not going to leave me anytime sooner, maybe because he was scared that I would run away again, leaving them, and this time they wouldn’t be able to find out about us.“Stephen”“Hmm”“I have to go outside. Let go of me.”, I muttered because I was sure he could hear me loud and clear. He didn’t say anything for a while, and eventually, he removed his heavy body from my top and lay beside me. I was about to leave when all of a
Aleena's POV.“What kind of behaving is this?” I asked, sensing his anger. Whether he was mad because I didn’t come out of the river just after he asked me to do so?“My behavior is the result of your sluttish act.”, he growled. “What were you doing before you sensed me?” he questioned back, fuming in anger. My heart started pounding loudly against the ribcage when I realized what he was talking about.“The time I checked, pleasuring on their own is not a crime nor any sluttish act.”, I said confidently, not really understanding the reason what was making him this angry? But it looked like my answer pissed him a little more than he was earlier. He grabbed my jaw tightly, pulling my face closer to him.“Don’t try to play dumb, Lina.”, he warned. “If I found you are pleasuring yourself again by thinking about my brother, then I will make sure that you won’t be able to walk for a few days.”, he threatened with a growl.I looked at him for a while, wondering whether I should tell him or
Aleena's POV.I frowned and glared at him, but he just chuckled before walking inside the washroom.*****"The silver moon pack needs a new alpha as soon as possible otherwise, that day is not far when other packs attack them to claim the Silver Moon pack as their own.", Daniel said when we joined the meeting for which we were called saying it was urgent. Well, it was! It had been seven days since there was no Alpha or Luna in that pack."Now the question is who will become the new Alpha? Evangeline or Aleena.", Daniel said, looking at both Eva and me. "The reason to have this discussion is to decide what you both sisters want? Because if we go by pack members voting, then all the 90% of pack members want Eva as their new Alpha, the rest 10% want some random pack members, which we can ignore for a while, and 0% of pack members want you as their Alpha. The main reason behind everyone's decision to choose Eva as their Alpha is that both packs will merge with one another, forming a big
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
