Alpha Dante's POV:"Alpha Grayson, " I fixed my clothes and covered Aeryn with the sheets, giving her enough time to pull her gown back in place. I didn't hear him coming in and I had locked the door too. But then I saw the open window and realized she must have forgotten to lock it while going out for breakfast. "Seriously, Dante! " He furiously shouted, " I thought you were smarter than being a slave of some pus*sy! " I clenched my fists and controlled the urge to not argue with him. If he wasn't my father's friend and the only one who supported me until now, I would have killed him. Yes, would have just slit his throat for talking to me like that in front of my mate. She wasn't just some pus*y but the love of my life. 'Love of our life. ' Azriel commented and I realized what I had said, instantly feeling like an idiot. "I just wanted to make sure she doesn't talk to other people from the pack. " This threw Alpha Grayson off guard and he furrowed his brows, " What do you mean
Aeryn's POV:"Your breakfast? " I heard the maid calling for me from the room. I was about to speak when I remembered I couldn't let her know. So, obviously I had to hurry up and get the breakfast. "I am leaving it on the table. " She answered. Everyone was so busy here and had some attitude. I turned off the shower and wrapped the towel around my body. Anger was still running through my veins and I hated how that old Grayson had insulted me. What did he mean by the thing that I was seducing Dante?! He was the one who had been following me around here and there. He wouldn't let me make friends or get along with anyone here. He was creating doubts in the minds of everyone in the pack due to his dramatic protective nature. Yet, that delusional man had the audacity to put the blame on me and claim that I was the trouble maker. I wore the ankle length dress the maid had given me. I didn't waste my time looking at my face in the mirror. Whenever, I had a panic attack or a sour mood
Alpha Dante's POV:I was asked by Alpha Dominic to accompany him as he went for a visit in the pack. He was pretending really good that he didn't hold any grudges against me Or my father. But I wasn't a fool who would just lose my life like my father did. If I was here, then I was going to win over him. Whatever Alpha Grayson said about trying to make his daughter fall in love with me didn't mean so much to me. Grayson might be scared of challenging him in the fight but I wasn't. The last day of my practice here would make me emerge out as victorious and they would know who he was dealing with. "Did you hear what I said? " Alpha Dominic asked and I nodded. He had been telling me about the various training programs and competitions which would be held over the course of the duration. "How long is the training and the last battle? " I asked. "This time it is for six months. " "Six months? Why did you change the duration? " "Because I can. " He just said without any expression on
Aeryn's POV:"Alpha Dominic has asked Dante to fight with the rogues. But why would he do so? The rogues are mixed with the vampires and have a lot of power. They have killed so many soldiers till now. " As soon as I heard the maids talking to each other about Dante, I felt my heart shattering into pieces. Alpha Dominic was really so evil and mean that he had intentionally made Dante to fight with some wild rogues. He knew he wouldn't be able to fight them off all alone. That man was pure malice and hated Alpha Dante for no reason. Well, his reasons made no sense to me because whatever he did to Dante's family first was enough for him to seek revenge. Was Alpha Dominic really that obsessed with power and fame that he couldn't tolerate a young Alpha practicing here to showcase his power and get his pack back? These thoughts were running in my head as I made my way to the training grounds. But I realized that I was already late when I saw Dante surrounded by rogues from all sides. H
Aeryn's POV:"What the hell do you mean?" I shouted and pushed him away from me. He was really insane if he felt that I had been here because I was sexually attracted to him. I was concerned for his safety and after witnessing the near death experience, I wanted to check if he was actually fine. " I just want you to remind you that you had told me if I came to your room you are going to shout or something… " He wiggled his brows and I gritted my teeth, angrily. " So everything is a game and a challenge for you and nothing else! I was just concerned because you couldn't even defend yourself against those rogues. You should be thankful to Luna because she was the one who saved your life. "As I mentioned about the incident which has happened in the training ground, his smile vanished and he stared at me angrily. " I had no idea that they were hybrids. Otherwise I would have been more alert and killed them off without her help. " I told my eyes at his statement because I could feel
Aeryn's POV:I felt the anxiety building up in me again as Aiden continued to tell me about the trip and how Alpha Dominic was going to stay here in the pack. "And he will call you for training. Imagine, you will be the only one in the training hall learning with him! " Aiden made fun of my scared face. That was never going to happen because I wasn't staying in the pack. Even if I won't enjoy the trip because of Dante and Emma, I would get to see the beautiful lake. And would not have to train with Alpha Dominic. What if he would ask me to fight some rogues?! "When are we leaving for the trip? " I asked him. He chuckled, " In an hour. Meet me at the pack exit. " I gave him a quick nod and started to get ready. I decided to wear a cool blue colored dress and a pair of shoes. After putting my hair into a loose bun, I gave a quick glance in the mirror. "I am ready. Ready to face the new drama again. " I let out a deep breath and repeated in my head to not utter a single word duri
Aeryn's POV:"Who are you? " I was amazed by my voice, so clear and loud underwater. In a mystery of some sort, I was able to breathe too. "I am your guardian wolf. I had always been with you. " The voice said. "What? " That was what I could scream in shock and surprise. The water bubbles surrounded me again and I felt myself lifting up along the strong waves. A shining rock touched my arm and hundred of memories flooded in my head.It was when I was a baby, I was crying alone at the pack borders and a blue wolf stood beside me, protecting me from any danger. "That's me..." Another instance came after that when I was a young teen and I couldn't get out of the trap those mean girls had set up for me. The Blue Wolf was right there, pulling me up and helping me to catch more breath. And even when Alpha Kaiden was about to ra** me, it was the blue wolf who had sent Dante to our direction and helped me to get out of trouble. "I trust you. " I said to the voice. "I am glad you didn
Aeryn's POV:I could hear the voice of my guardian angel going in my head again and again. As I saw Dante watching me and then looking at all the people around me, my eyes hardened with anger for an unknown reason. If he meant to harm me Or anyone in here, then he would have to face me first. "Why did you decide to join now? " Aiden asked him. He scoffed, " Because I thought so. Is there any rule which doesn't allow me to here? " I heard Aiden giving him a low growl which was subsided by Luciano getting in between them. "We don't have time for that. " He said, glaring at Aiden. Dante gave him a winning smile and he stole quick glances at me while pretending to look at the lake behind me. "Emma. " Luciano said, " We just found out something really good. This silver Lake is not just for attraction but it has healing powers. Aeryn got her voice back and I want you to try it too. " As soon as Luciano said that, Dante turned his head towards me, shocked and then getting angry as the
Aeryn's POV:I had been running for half an hour by now and yet the woods seemed never ending. Leaving Dante in that critical condition and his life at danger had been the most difficult decision of my life. I would never let anything happen to him even if it meant for me to die in his place. He was wronged as a child and an adult by everyone around him. He deserved happiness and now when he wanted to ask for forgiveness from father and Kai was with those traitors, I knew they would be ready to accept Dante as my mate. With more determination and motivation, I didn't stop even when my legs started to hurt. But I promised myself that nothing could stop me before I reached pack. It was just another twenty minutes until I would be crossing the pack borders. A series of angry howls roared behind me and I froze in my steps scared of the truth that the rogues had gotten to me first before I could go to the pack. I turned behind to see the leader Rogue running after me with an army of aro
Dante's POV:Azriel had felt her presence in the woods as shown as she had stepped her feet in there. I could also feel her pain and I had hurriedly gone to search her only to find her in chains. Even though, I should have hated her for accepting Kai as her mate, I didn't like how she was crying from the pain and Alpha Grayson and was hitting her. "Keep your mouth shut! He isn't your mate anymore. We need know that you are going to fu*k Kai sooner than later. " Alpha Grayson spat angrily. I felt my fists clenching at his words, "What are you exactly doing here, Aeryn? Is it a trap? "She shook her head, " No, Dante. I will never betray you. I want to tell you that this war is not needed because we can stop it. I love you and I am never going to be with another man. "Her words sent a soothing feeling to my heart. I was happy that she chose to be here with me and had the guts to run away from her parents and come here among so much dangers. "Do you think you can go against your pare
Aeryn's POV :I was still shaking from anger after my parents and brothers left me in my room again. I had to fight against the injustice of them making me have another mate. Dante wasn't aware of his father's reality and his mother's suicide reason. If he would know, then I was sure he wouldn't be initiating a war against anyone. As a mate, I had to take the first step. I quietly made my way out of my room and ran to the corridor leading to Dante's chamber. It was extremely quiet there and I couldn't find anyone. Confusion dawned me and I went to the training ground to find him but he wasn't there either. The palace looked in a hurry, almost running guards everywhere around me. The environment didn't feel right. The air didn't seem comfortable. "What are you doing here? " I heard Alpha Kai behind me. I didn't like him around me for some reason because even though he knew that I had a made he was ready to be with me without any shame. "Nothing. Just looking for... " I hesitated.
Alpha Dante's POV :F*ck! F*ck this pack! Aeryn was with Kai, he was holding her hand, he was walking her around, he had been all over her and Dominic was happy with the stupid arrangement. I was sure there was something going on between Kai and Dominic. He had suddenly appointed him as the border controller for his pack and also was given high status in the training for young wolves. "Maybe he wants Aeryn to be with Kai. " Azriel hissed. I smashed the vase into pieces and crushed it with my boots. No way in hell was going to let any man take her from me. She was my mate, carrying my Mark and had promised me a child. And even after that, I was going to keep her with me. She wasn't related to Dominic and Astrid's crimes. They had even lost her when she was babu, indicating they never cared for their only daughter and instead adopted a dumb human girl to take her place. They were power hungry and could go to any limits to secure their pack and throne. Even if it meant, making Aeryn
Aeryn's POV :I ran back to my room and locked the door behind me so that I didn't have to talk to anyone including my parents. I was Furious and sad to know that my own parents had decided to give me off to another man as if I was an object. They were blinded by power and rank of Alpha Kai. I should have known that being a princess meant to keep the family ties high by marrying into another powerful Clan. I was the most worthless girl in the whole Kingdom as compared to even the normal females in the Pack because of the reason that I didn't have my wolf yet. I heard a knock on the door and knew that it was mom but I was not going to talk to her until and unless she was ready to listen to me. But to my shock, I heard the lock turning in the door and both of my parents walked in with a key in their hands. Mom must have been crying because I could see her eyes were puffy and even my father was sad. They sat beside me on the bed and I turned my head to look away from them. Still, I fe
Aeryn's POV :I felt disheartened by the sight of my mate who was not trying to understand my condition and was in the wrong this whole time. Only if I could tell him about how much he was missing by being angry towards me and my family then we would have been together by now and fighting everyone else. I was going to be loyal to my blood even though I knew that the bond was supposed to be stronger than anything else. I forgot that Alpha Kai had been waiting for me after he left and he might have noticed the weird exchange we both had. "Coffee? " He offered as we sat together. I didn't want to be sitting there in the public with a fake smile plastered on my face but I couldn't just run away from everything because I was not feeling well. My dad was gone too after he checked that I was safe with Alpha Kai. if my parents at trusted this man then I was not at any risk from him. "Are you okay? You don't look comfortable enough. " He asked. I sipped my coffee, " It's nothing serious.
Aeryn's POV :I wanted to talk to him about his special treatment in the class but the teacher looked at me angrily, her eyes telling me to get away from the Alpha. I knew that she would never say something to the Alpha but she could only use her scary eyes on me. "Alpha Kai has been included in the team of the Alphas to keep the borders secure and the enemies away from the Pack house. " Mrs. Harrison told us and I realised I was sitting with one of the best warriors in the entire packs. He nodded his head, " I am still your student and would like to train more young wolves so that they can join the team. " Mrs. Harrison was overjoyed and enthusiastically opened one of the thickest books I had ever seen. She flipped through pages after a while pages and finally settled on one of the main chapters. She fixed her glasses and licked her lips before starting the lesson. "In a small town nestled among the hills, there was a visionary human teacher named Mrs. Johnson. " She said, " She
Aeryn's POV :I woke up at 5 AM precisely and took a shower. After getting dressed in a simple crop top and Jean I decided to put my hair in a high ponytail. By the time I was ready to go, it was already 7 AM and Emerald was waiting for me outside my room. She had brought the map of all the packs with her and we found a quiet corner in the school Garden so that she could tell me more about the ranking. The school Gates were still closed and we had around 40 minutes before the time the classes would start. "The North Packs are all under Alpha Dominic and these one marked in red are also ruled by him but they are having some sort of revolution because most of the Alphas want slavery to be legal. And Alpha Dominic is against the cruelty. " She said, running her finger along the lines on the map. I nodded, " But I don't think anyone will support them because in no one wants this type of ill practice in the packs in these modern Times. " Emerald scoffed, " You have no idea about the Ri
Aeryn's POV: "What were you thinking, Aeryn? " My mom shouted at me. I kept my head low and my face burned with embarrassment as her blaming eyes looked right through my soul. It was better that she hadn't told anyone else about it. "I am sorry. I shouldn't have done that. " I muttered. She rubbed her forehead, " I mean what if someone had seen you. This would have created a havoc in the pack. Most of them don't even know you have a mate. " " But mom, I have a mate and you know that. How can I pretend that he doesn't exist? " She sighed and hugged me, " I know and I am sorry for being so rude and harsh with you. But, honey you need to understand that he is not a friend of our pack. That guy wants to ruin you just like his father... " She stopped from completing her statement and something changed in her eyes. She grew angry towards Dante more and shook her head to ignore whatever thoughts were crossing her mind at this moment. " What do you mean, mom? Can you tell me about the
