Alexander POV
***
The phone ring makes me look at my phone screen, a smile coated my lips as seeing the name of a person calling me. I answer the call as greet in a soft and happy tone, “Good morning, Sweetheart. Missing me?”
“Of course I miss you, How can’t I?” She replied causes me to chuckles, She is my beautiful mother, who always worried about me whether it’s about I did my dinner on time, or I slept at night or not. But I love her, well more than my dad because of her loving and caring nature towards everyone.
“Oh, your Dad said you have new to tell me, C’mon fast kiddo tell me how she is? And when you both are getting here to meet us? God, I am super excited to meet her.”
She asked so many questions causing me to doubt that maybe she forget to take a breath, well I know I found my mate after searching so long is big news for my parents especially my mom. But I am not in a state to fulfill her demand now maybe sometime in the future.
“Calm down mom, don’t forget to breathe or we have to blame my newfound mate for your health,” I comment knowing I can’t deny her directly so try to avoid that question.
“No no, it’s quite opposite, I am feeling better since I heard about her and I am super excited to meet her in person.” She muttered happily.
“Soon mom. Where is dad?” I asked not because I’m scared to think about my relationship with my mate which is like strangers still, because we both didn’t meet each other formally now, and I am a famous Alpha king who never scared ever before but I don’t want my mom to come here and be a matchmaker for me. Which I can bet she will do if she found out my situation now.
“Dean! Honey.. Alex wants to talk to you.” I listened to mom calling my dad before I heard his voice as he takes the phone.
“Congratulations Son.” He congratulates me normally not like mom, but his happiness is visible in his voice. My dad is quite opposite personality than my mother, have an authoritative aura causing peoples to bow down in front of him, he was the most strict alpha of his time more than me, but tame by my sweet mother.
“Thanks, Dad. Do you have a minute I want to talk to you about something important?” I asked in a formal voice which is an indication that it must be something important.
“Of course, Alex.” He said before I heard footsteps of him walking towards his study, I can tell because of that where he loves to discuss all important matters whether related to our pack or business.

After talking with dad left my mansion, walking toward my black Lambo. The driver comes running to my side as opens the back door for me, standing there bow his head in respect. I nodded before setting inside and ordered him to drive toward the office.
After a 30-minute drive, I reached my office building, looking toward the empire I made A&A industries, the multinational company having branches in almost every big country. This India's branch is handle by alpha Dan, I mostly handle our California head office.
I entered inside, everyone stop working whatever they were doing as standing like a statue not looking in my eyes as muttering their morning greetings. I nodded as walking toward my office on the 7th floor.
I was sitting in my office when my secretary knocked on the door before peeking inside from the door and informed “Sir, you have a meeting in the next 30 minutes file is already on your table.” I nodded as dismissed her, pick up the papers placed in front of me on my big glass desk.
My office doors open again but this time not by my secretary but by Alpha Dan as he enters inside smiling. I appreciate happy and easy-going peoples but being an Alpha, it’s not an excuse.
“Yes?” I asked in my Alpha tone causing him to arched his brow as looking towards me. Oh, c'mon seriously we are not such a good friend or anything so why he is expecting me to greet him with a hug or any bro code.
“Oh, sorry for the unannounced presence of him, by the way, I am here to show you the annual report of ours companies turnover,” he replied in not so reliable voice but I nodded slowly, looking towards this guy, not believing his word. I mean c'mon I am alpha king for years now, I can tell this is not his only motive to come here but we’ll see soon what he is up to.
He opens a file in front of me containing some reports for company turnover as he said, I silently listen to what he was telling me, patiently waiting for him to tell his actual motive, and curious also that what caused him to come to me.
He didn’t say anything after as close the file he was reporting on, just smiling like manic and honestly is irritates me that why I asked myself when he neither make a move to leave nor said anything else.
“Anything else you want to tell me? Alpha Dan?” he chuckled while shaking his head before saying, “Ah. Yes, I want a favor if you don’t mind of course.” He paused glancing towards me, I nodded to him to continue whatever he wants to ask.
“I give a new firm contract to handle our companies accounts and ask them to send their best employee to do this work. But the problem is, I have an urgent meeting today which comes out last minute because of that I can’t attend the meeting with them today.” He explained.
“And you want me to attend that meeting for you, right?” I conclude what he is trying to say.
“Yes, so can you? Pretty please.” he requests with puppy dog eyes causing me to shoot him a hard look but accepted his request because I don’t have any meeting after the one which is about to start.
He smirks as mumbled his thanks before storm out of my office leaving me in peace with my work. This guy's next level, sometimes I can’t digest the fact that is the alpha of the Aabrel pack.
After finishing my meeting I walked out of the meeting room as checking my phone screen which is showing some text from my dearest mom. As always she is asking if I eat my lunch on time, or not? And when I am planning to come back? I can’t help but smile at her loving and caring nature.
I stopped in my tracks when I caught the alluring scent causing Xavier, my wolf to jump up and down in happiness inside my mind. I turn to check my surroundings to found the source of this heavenly scent but found none.
‘Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me?’ I muttered to myself as getting sad that it was just a mere illusion. Yes, I am continuously thinking about her as replaying in my mind, again and again, the moment when I meet her that day in the club.
It’s not like I didn’t do anything to trace her but until know my beta found no information about her, I don’t even know her name if it makes you guys believe in my statement.
I signed as walked inside my office ordering my secretary to send that person from the accountancy firm to my office when they come.
Xavier is still over the cloud even I told him that was a misunderstanding but he is not listening, stupid wolf, acting like a lovesick girl. I decide to ignore him as start working on my laptop, checking some pack documents that need to be verification.
I heard a knock on my office door causes me to look up from the laptop screen towards my secretary as she peeking insides and said, “Sir, those people from the accountancy firm are here, can I send them in?” She asked.
I nodded and waiting for them to come in, still feeling that stupid weird feeling of my wolf, this guy goes nuts for sure. I commented causing him to scoff at me.
The door reopened to fill that scent insides my office, ‘I seriously need to focused on work Xavier stop this now’ I order my wolf as thinking it's his tricks, but get shocked when I saw the person enter inside my office.
Is it true or I start seeing things now? I am crazily falling for her that’s why I can see her everywhere now? Shit, right or what reason could be that she come here herself to meet me.
Those were the thoughts crossing my mind before I heard her melodies and shy voice, “Hello sir, I am Amber Mehra, from VT Sheghal tax and accountancy firm.”
To said I’m shocked is an understatement now, yes I believe in fate and know that the moon goddess is up-to something good but for this incident, I already have an idea who did this.
Amber’s POV***Ignoring the gaze of peoples I made my way toward the neuro department, well from the mentality of peoples here if you are going to the neuro department so they are going to declare you half-crazy already, no matter you are or not, that’s why I hate when peoples glancing towards me like I’m a mental patient.
I left Hospital after today’s session, still lost in my thoughts, eyes are swollen from crying, but I can’t waste any more time crying over my fate, I have to go back to work. I decide to take a public bus despite the train because this new location which my boss send me is easy to get from public bus despite the metro.After 1 hour of the journey, I reached in front of big sky touching the building, A&A is a big empire, their office is giving an elite feeling as I entered, I’m a bit nervous because it’s the first time I have to meet a client alone not any other employe
Alexander POV***To said I’m sad is an understatement here is haven’t slept as thinking about her every passing second since I meet her, tried hard to find her and she didn’t even recognize me even her friend remember me, but not she.
Amber’s POV***We said our goodbyes as we parted our ways, luckily Suzi didn’t raise that topic again neither I can find out any information about that night from her, I can’t risk her being suspicious of me. Maybe I can find some information from Archi? Or that guy Alexander? ‘Hmm, good idea Ammy.’ I praise myself as walking towards my home. I reached my home at the exact time as always, I don’t want my family to call me hundred times to ask where am I, it’s what they do usually because according to them I&rsquo
Amber's POV***I reached my assigned client place, A&A Inc. Companie's office building, after lunchtime. That receptionist from before showed me my assigned cabin, her name is Asha, I thanked her before she left me alone after giving files and documents I required to do my job here.Today I can work in peace as Suzi is not here to disturb me with her super important topic, and neither is Archie. I start my work, checking digits shown in the documents and ledgers, that's how time flies.By the time I finished my today's task my phone screen was showing 8 pm, it's dark outside. I turned off my system before saving my files.People are leaving whose shift is over, I wish goodnight to Asha who is also ready to leave as her shift is over.I don't know why but a thought crosses my mind and I asked her as we walked together outside the building, "I haven't seen Mr. Dan nor his partner nearby all day-"Before I sa
Alexander’s POV***I caught her hand in mine, just want to touch her to make me believe she is fine, but made her scared as she flinched and takes steps away from me. It’s takes everything in me to stop my beast to hold her close to us by force, it will be the last thing I want to do, to scare her even more than she already is.“Well, it’s just a coincidence we meet again,” I replied to her earlier question as using it as a distraction chip because in reality I was looking for a chance to meet her all day but don’t want to disturb her in her work too, that’s why I waited for her outside office building when her working hours are about to over but that does not go according to as plan also because of her new friend was with her.So, that’s how I ended up following her all the way here, if you want to call me a stalker so I just have one thing to say in my account that I hate who envied others pri
Amber’s POV***His eyes are looking enchanting enough that it’s hard to look away from him, but I don’t want either. I wish time stops and I can spend my whole life here watching him smiling for me. “Where are you lost, my love?” I heard his deep and husky tone, he asked as squeezing my hand. I smile as shake my head whilst murmuring, “Nothing, I’m just happy.”He smiles broadly hearing my reply and cupped my face to make me look straight in his green orbs as he is looking in my dark ones. “I’m g
Amber’s POV***I can’t stop myself from thinking about that dream, it was like some kind of warning, and my gut feeling is telling me to keep my distance from Alex more than ever.Yes from day one I feel a dangerous aura around him but I also feel protective too when he is with me, in the past week I see a gentleman in him.He helped me that day on the station and after that in my work too when once I can’t able to find actual entries of related transactions. He is the kind person behind his cold mask, but we are not friends.He is my client and I’m there to do my duties so mixing professional and personal relations is out of content, and other than that it’s my last week here I’m halfway to complete my work.After that this chapter will be closed until next year I guess or more if my boss assigns the A&A Inc. project to anyone else in the next accounting year, well I don’t kno
We were standing in front of the huge arc-shaped rock. This place is ancient as you can tell by the unknown language runes carved on it. This is known as the portal. I'm feeling blessed right now, not knowing from how long we waited for this dream to come true. Today it's finally happening. I nodded toward Ammy to start it. It's a ritual she has to perform, one last thing to do. She placed her hand on the rune engraved as the sign of hand and lit the torch which is well known as the soul key, in the black space of arc. Rays of light took the shape of a huge circle filling the gap between the arc. The sound of gasping filled the background as everyone in this cave looked at the gateway with wet eyes. I can't explain in words what my heart is going through right at this moment. I never felt this before, this is beyond what I can understand, something new found. I ordered the children and females of my clan to become the f
Ammy P. O. V All other voices stopped except the rhythm of water flowing from the fountain and the jingling of the key fighting with air surrounding it. And then it happens, it moves from the prescribed place and flies in my direction. I didn't let my control waiver just a little more and it will be mine. The key is about to reach the glass barrier when suddenly it's frozen in its place. How could it happen? Shit! I got the answer to my questions when I heard a horrible scream and turned to look towards the person from whom it's coming. It was coming from that female guard whose eyes are stuck at the soul key. if I am not wrong so she is controlling the soul key as I did seconds ago. She is using all her powe
The silence here is scary, however, I keep walking to the source of light. I was right, the thing illuminating the whole place is the soul key. It's flying in the air, over the white marble fountain of red water. An orange glow shooting out of it complimenting the bright sun. I slowly open my eyes and this time a visible glass wall from around the fountain and inside standing a woman wearing a red hood, smiling chilling in my way, it raises goosebumps over my skin in anticipation of what's about to come next… "Well, well look what we have here… what's a little human born doing here? Have you lost my dear human?" Her words sound honey-dipped however not in agreement with her sharp features. I let my eyes waver over the woman standing in front of me, taking over
Ammy P. O. V I flinched and pulled myself backward with each step this horrible creature took forward toward me. His dark eyes are getting darker with the anticipation of the hunt, scaring me even more. No matter how hard I tried to deny it, but that's it. I have nowhere to run now. Death is here to embrace me in its darkness, this is my final moment. I dare to let my eyes anticipate the fall I would have to take if I step an inch backward from the heights I am standing at. It's beyond my range if wouldn't for the beast blocking my way. I have just been looking for another way to reach the secret cave in the deep end of the mountain core. It happened in the blink of an eye. In the next second, I tightly shut
Alex P. O. V the sound of thumping is the main cause I forced open my eyes to stop this annoying voice. My head is bursting and with each second this voice magnified itself to the next level. It's fucking annoying. This headache! A loud groan came out of my mouth and I forced open my eyes to take a look at the surroundings I'm in. The rotten smell of iron and dirt entered my nostrils. I can easily recognize it anywhere. It's underground dungeon cell and clinging of the silver bound around my hands and feet are just enough to prove me right. I raised my head from the metal ground beneath me to evaluate my cell and locate 2 guards who were trying to hide themselves as they peeked through from the other sides of the bars. It's hard to not notice their trembling bodies and the way their hands clutch the sword. It ama
Ammy P. O. V What a weird coincidence it is. I'm standing in the same spot from where I started. The same spot from where I started my discovery was the answer to the questions I was looking for. This time I'm not going to be scared, I know the danger involved in it but the reward is worth it too. And I will be grateful if I help all the people here who consider themselves responsible for the crimes that they never had done. If you are thinking I have some epic idea so no you are wrong. I have no plans, no backups, nothing well prepared, but I have that one thing that can help you do whatever you want to do in your life and that is willpower. I'm willing to do this. No, it's no more for the answers I was looking for but it's more for the lives of so many people who showed kindness towards me even thou
Ammy P. O. V The sound of metal lock clicking made contact with my eardrums. In the darkness of a cold cell, even a pin drop noise magnifies to the next level. I snapped my neck in that direction and blinked many times to clear my view to lock at the person entering inside the cell. For my human sight, it's not easy to make out an image in the dark, all I can make out is the silhouette of a tall figure. But it's not enough to tell who this person is. "Who's there?" I asked in confusion when that person didn't utter a word and just stood there observing me from far away. Despite answering my question, loud footsteps moved in my way, making me scrunched back in my seat, in the back of the corner of the cell. Silver l
Ryn P. O. V I begged my father to listen to me, to give us a chance to explain but he didn't listen a single word and ordered his guards to lock me in my room. The relationship between my father and me was limited to our clan business. We are not like normal father-daughter. Even at home we only talked to each other when it related to the clan's work. I don't feel bad about it anymore, I already passed that point and made peace with myself. I was aware of what was going to happen. That's why I had already formed a counter plan to cope with it. If they are thinking I'm going to stay here to cry my eyes out or feel sorry so it's their fault. I jumped on my feet and grabbed my weapons out of the drawer to stuff it in my leather boats. Before I make my way to
Ammy P. O. V Things get messy, the crowd gets afraid to heat up as the minutes pass by. With Ryn out of the picture and a heated argument going on between two Alphas, the room's temperature is pretty much heated. We don't want to make things more complicated. But I don't know how to clear up this misunderstanding. It's hard to break the belief upon which these people have been living here for centuries. If I were in their shoes I would have the same mindset. I can't even imagine the burden each and every one carries here on their souls as Ryn. They all are tagged with the label of prisoner's for the actions which are not done by them. These people keep locked here far away from the normal life that other species of Darkland are enjoying, when these
