Alpha Dante's POV:'She's so terrified of you. Can you calm down for a minute? " My wolf, Azriel, growled as we watched the girl struggling to relate with everything around her. I groaned in frustration at his concerned tone for that girl, our mate. She was in no way meant to be my mate. She didn't even have her wolf. Every time I raised my voice, I felt like she would start crying. But even after all this, I could feel the energy she had hidden in her heart. The time when she spoke about her parents and that she would want to find them, I realized that she was able to get revenge if given a reason. ' I will track down her parents and bring them safely to her as soon as she gives me my heir. I am not heartless when it comes to parents because I know how it feels to be raised as an orphan and on the outskirts after being exiled from your own pack. 'Life was never this hard for me around 18 years ago when I was 4 years old. My father was the Alpha and my mother was the best Luna to
Aeryn's POV:I had cleaned my face with the water in the bucket beside my bed. The night was getting darker and colder. I had no experience of staying outside in tents. The air was thicker and the wild men won't just keep quiet. They had been howling and shouting for two hours by now. And I couldn't sleep! I got up from the bed and peeked outside. The men were dancing and fighting with each other like some game of the young men. I couldn't stand watching them any longer because they gave me a headache. The way they howled and growled. This was not a pack. They were called rogues for a reason. "What are you doing there? "I almost jumped at the sudden sound and breathed heavily before turning to look up at him. "Nothing." He raised a brow, " Really? Is that how you talk to your Alpha? " I was confused at the loud voice he used at me. It almost sounded as if he was frustrated with me. "I don't know what you are implying here. I am not disrespecting you in any form. "He cleared
Aeryn's POV:I woke up when I felt some foreign hands running all over my body. My senses grew alarmed and my eyes snapped open immediately. "Good morning. " Alpha Dante said. I gulped down the saliva forming in my throat when I saw the sunlight outside. The promise I had made last night to keep him away from me didn't sound so good when I actually had to do it. "Good morning. I believe it's too early in the morning. Were waiting for the first rays of the sun all night? "He raised his brows, " It's actually 1 PM. And I even attended a meeting. But you are sleeping with your mouth agape as if you never had a place to sleep in the pack. "I was so embarrassed by his tone and rubbed my eyes. He was all over me but thankfully dressed and with armor. "Are you going somewhere? " I asked. "Yes, there are a few wolves I need to take down to have full control over the East borders. I will be back in two hours. And I don't want any excuses from you. "I nodded like an obedient child and h
Aeryn's POV:My eyes were glued on him the entire time as if I would look away for a second then he would teleport to stand right before me and harass me. "Let me see you. For once. " Urgh! I hated these men. And I hated myself more for having this stupid heat without a wolf. But, somehow I was happy that I was one of them and not some human girl living in the werewolf world. "Listen, I am your Alpha's mate. If you dare to come even an inch closer to me, you are going to die today. " I saw his eyes turning into a feral red color, his pupils dilated and I could see his fangs, which meant only one thing- He had lost his senses. Another wave of pleasure and pain passed through my body and I trembled like a fish out of water. He didn't care about his life or anything. He was too gone for that. I managed to get up and covered myself with a cloth. He frowned and growled, "Why would you do that?! " I ignored him and got to the other side of the tent, keeping the huge distance between u
Aeryn's POV:I had gotten dressed by the time more men had entered to take the bodies out of the tent. None of them raised their heads to look at me even for once. I was glued to one spot watching the two men who died for me as they remained depressed and desperate to have a she-wolf for them. The thought of having sex in the same place as two dead bodies made me want to throw up now. I was so engrossed in my heat that I didn't even care about them. But, there was a hollow spot in my heart which needed answers. The reason for this stupid rule in the pack full of thousands of men. As soon as we were alone again, I grabbed Alpha Dante's arm and took him to the side, which he didn't like at all. "You cannot just grab me like that! " He shouted and fumed with anger. I bit my lip nervously to stop myself from saying anything more in order not to provoke him. "Sorry." I mumbled. He didn't seem happy with my flat tone but didn't say anything else either. 'Take it slow, Aeryn.' I thou
Aeryn's POV:Alpha Dante grew protective of me and eyed Alpha Grayson when he was about to touch my face. "What are you talking about? " Alpha Dante asked, keeping his arm around my waist. Alpha Grayson covered his mouth as shock was plastered all over his face. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. It made me feel like I had committed some crime against him years ago and he had found me all of a sudden. "It's so surprising to see her. She reminds me of someone. No, not just one person but the both of them... " I heard Alpha Dante take a sharp breath, " Who does she remind you of? " He smirked, " Oh, that's not possible. It is just her features are identical to Dominic and his mate. "I gasped at the mention of their names. Alpha Dante was pissed off by just their mere mention. "No, she doesn't look like any of them. She's my mate and she is on my side. " Something was wrong with Alpha Grayson and his eyes. He limped when he walked to the centre of the pack house where th
Aeryn's POV: Alpha Dante crossed his arms over his chest and held my hand again. "She can't shift. " I heard the loud gasps and shock washed over everyone present there. I wanted to cry when the pack members began to talk about me in slow whispers. "What the hell do you mean she can't shift, Dante?"Alpha Grayson shouted at him and tore off the garland from around his neck. I was breathless out of anxiety and touched the roses to not allow him to do the same to me. "She hasn't gotten her wolf yet. She-" "No! Reject her! She doesn't deserve to be the Luna of this pack! " Alpha Grayson shouted pointing a finger at me. Alpha Dante growled, " No! She is my mate. And I am not rejecting her. " "But she is useless! ""She's not 18 yet! "Alpha Dante shouted making the mumbling stop all over the pack. Alpha Grayson watched me wide-eyed. "When will she be 18? " He asked. "In a few months. She's not sure of her birth month because she never had parents to tell her about that. We are n
Aeryn's POV:I covered myself with the sheets and kept my mouth closed as I heard more commotion outside the tent. I had no idea what was happening there but I could only tell that it was not something good. After around an hour of waiting miserably inside the tent like a stupid child, I couldn't wait any longer. I decided to get up and check it myself. Carefully and slowly I stood by the entrance of the tent, I saw Alpha Dante putting chains on a wild rogue who growled at him. The air smelled like blood and smoke and a few dead bodies were lying around on the ground. I made my way to Alpha Dante who had put the restraints around the attacker's hands and neck. Alpha Dante lifted his head and watched me then frowned. I was about to tell him that I was here to check up on him when he jumped at me with his sword. I closed my eyes, waiting for the strike which would end my life. I didn't know why he was so angry at me now. I was wearing the panties too! For God's sake. But I felt
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
