ASHLEY - JONATHAN'S ROOMThe room was shrouded in darkness as Ashley entered, carrying her husband's tea. She flicked on the lights, revealing Jonathan resting on the couch."Hey, are you okay, Jonathan? You look tired. And why did you turn off the lights?" Ashley inquired, handing him the cup before settling beside him.Opening his eyes, Jonathan began, "Actually, princess, I was thinking something..."Before he could continue, the door was forcefully pushed open, and Delilah barged in. Both Jonathan and Ashley were taken aback as Delilah walked to the couch, took Ashley's hand, and made her stand."Delilah, behave yourself. What is all this?" Ashley demanded, puzzled.Delilah released her hand, a stern expression on her face. "You better behave, Ashley. How much evil are you planning for in this house? Do you even realize what you are doing to this family?"Jonathan, standing up, intervened, "Delilah, you have no right to talk to my wife like this." Delilah turned to him with eviden
It was 11:00 pm, and Stephen had yet to return home from work, leaving Delilah restless with worry. Nathan had already drifted into sleep, and the minutes dragged on as she anxiously awaited his arrival. Unable to contain her concern, she called Stephen, but he didn't answer, escalating her apprehension.When Stephen finally entered, weariness etched across his face, Delilah's relief mingled with frustration. Approaching him with a furrowed brow, she seized his laptop bag, demanding answers.Why didn't you pick up my call? Do you know how worried I was? And why so late today? Have you ever had dinner?" she fired off, her concern bubbling into anger.The room was bathed in a soft glow from the bedside lamp as Delilah fired off her questions, concerned about lacing her words. Stephen, wearied from a long day, loosened his tie, attempting to address her worries. "I'm not hungry," he replied wearily, signalling his exhaustion.As he headed to the bathroom, leaving Delilah in a state of pu
PACK MANSION - NEXT MORNINGStephen's mother smiled warmly, "I want the whole house to be decorated with the best flowers today. It's my son's and Delilah's anniversary. It's a special occasion for all of us."Jennifer nodded, "Yes, Luna, I've already informed the maids. They will handle the decorations. But where are Alpha Stephen and Delilah? Haven't they woken up yet?""It's hardly 7:00," Stephen's mother replied, "I'm sure they will come down soon. I've asked Omega to make their favorite breakfast. I'm planning to arrange a party for them tonight.""That's great," Jennifer said, "This day will be full of happiness then."Damon walked in, having overheard the conversation, "The day would be good if Ashley and Jonathan don't create a mess."Stephen's mother sighed, "I've warned Ashley. Hopefully, she'll remain quiet today."Jennifer added, "Let's not spoil our moods by thinking about them. Let's get back to work. We have so much to do."After Damon's remark, everyone dispersed and r
The living room, dimly lit, buzzed with tension as Stephen addressed the gathering, "Some days back, if you all remember, the Patrol leader was here suspecting Jonathan to be behind this, he began", his voice carrying the weight of accusation.Ashley, unable to contain herself, interrupted, "But then it was proven that he wasn't in the region when this kidnapping happened. He was in a different city, and the letters that he wrote me are already submitted."Stephen sighed, a subtle indication of his impatience. "I know. Would you mind if I finish my talk first? Let me point to the culprit first, and then let's start this question-answer round."The air thickened with anticipation as Stephen continued. It was like a slap for Ashley as his tone remained rigid and firm, a stark contrast to the tension in the room."The handwriting was confirmed, and the letters indeed had been written by Jonathan only. Which proves he was in a different city when Nathan was kidnapped," Stephen declared, hi
The Patrol leader's somber tone filled the room, "The matter is more complicated now. Even if Jonathan is not your step-brother, Alpha Stephen, it means there is really someone out there who is still safe from us. Someone who is still having enough time to plan for his escape. We have to be cautious. And that person is not Alpha Kevin as well. Our eyes are always on him."Stephen, his suspicion unwavering, asserted, "Whatever it is, even if he isn't my step-brother, I still have a doubt that he is the one supporting the man behind all this."Delilah, standing by Stephen's side, added, "Yes. I too can't believe he is a saint now. He is somewhere involved in the kidnapping."The Patrol leader, caught between suspicion and the need for concrete evidence, replied, "But based on these suspicions, we cannot arrest him, Luna Delilah. We need proper proofs."Stephen, frustrated but determined, proposed a course of action, "Fine. Let's keep some men behind Jonathan. I want him to be spied on e
NOAH'S HOUSEDelilah cautiously pushed Noah's room door ajar and caught sight of him deeply engrossed in a tense phone conversation. The room, bathed in the soft glow of a table lamp, held a lingering air of secrecy."Noah, I've told you a hundred times not to call me on my number. Why?" There was a palpable pause, the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air. Noah's furrowed brow betrayed the gravity of the discussion. "Give me some time to think and don't call me again." With a swift motion, he hung up, turning around to find Delilah standing there."Delilah? You... I..." Noah stammered, visibly shocked. His eyes, still reflecting the remnants of the conversation, met Delilah's gaze."Busy?" she asked casually, seemingly unaware of the tension that lingered in the room."No, I mean, I was just talking to a friend. Come in," Noah replied, his tone attempting to mask the underlying unease. Delilah stepped into the room, taking in the ambiance that seemed to hold the echoes of the c
Delilah smiled and then continued gazing at him."After you came into my life, things just started becoming better," Stephen confessed, his voice carrying a mix of vulnerability and regret. "Though I always ignored you, I could feel I was getting attached to you. But I was not ready to accept it so easily. And you know what all happened after that. How I messed up things between us. How I gave you some rights only assuming it to be my first wife. How I blamed you for cheating me and my family. Huhhh!" He looked out from the French windows with a heavy heart, unwilling to remember those painful moments. Delilah turned towards the windows too, ready to respond."Some memories are good to be forgotten, Stephen," Delilah replied with a calm yet firm tone."Not the ones that hurt the person you care about, Delilah," Stephen said, his gaze still fixed outside. "I cannot forget all that pain I gave you unnecessarily. I cannot forget that anytime soon, Delilah. Every time I see you, I feel gu
Upon arriving home, they strolled up the driveway, where attentive guards swung open the front doors to welcome them into Stephen's elegant mansion. Once inside, the guards swiftly secured the entrance, locking the door behind them.Damon and Jennifer took sleepy Nathan away, giving them some privacy as they went to his personal mansion, a few blocks away from the pack mansion."So, what's the surprise?" she asked, her voice huskier than normal.She was ready to throw off her heels and slip out of her dress. There was nothing she wanted more than to get lustfully lost in a world with Stephen."Where's the chess game?" he asked her. His voice replicated her own, deeper than normal.She couldn't help but smile as she led the way to her room, making sure to sway her hips a little more than normal. She wanted—no, needed—him to desire her as much as she desired him.The moment they arrived in front of her door, Stephen pushed her in and locked the door behind them. Her heartbeat quickened

She let her husband chang Aarti's medicines? Purposely? Why? TO kill her? Sheetal wasnt able to believe this too.. Anjali can stoop so low? Only for getting her Chotte and his Son back to her?

You cannot be my Grand daughter.. So mu
Stephen walked to his sister's room to see her. Delilah followed him. He sat next to his sister on the bed and held her hand. His sister meant everything to him. After his father's death and his mother getting busy with the pack responsibility, she was the one in whom he always found the warmth of a mother. She may never have been able to shower the needed love on him until now, but he didn't care for that.All he wished was that she should be happy. He knew she was the one who destroyed his married life. Maybe she did this out of jealousy, thinking that Delilah would divert Stephen's heart towards her, and hence she would be ignored. The reason could be any, but he never thought of punishing her for that sin. He ignored it for her well-being, for her happiness.And today when he has come to know she is expecting a baby soon, how could he even think of hurting her? He would never be able to do that anytime. But that does not mean he will get that Jonathan outside bars. Never. He had do
PACK MANSIONAshley paced nervously in the living room, repeatedly calling her husband's number without success. Her mother, noticing Ashley's restlessness, approached with concern.Her mother asked, "Ashley, dear, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"Ashley replied anxiously, "Mom, I'm waiting for Jonathan to come home. He left suddenly, saying he had some work. I've been trying to reach him, but no response."Her mother, now a bit worried, inquired, "Even Jonathan isn't home yet?"Ashley questioned, "What do you mean, 'even him'? Who else isn't at home?"Nani hesitated before sharing, "Delilah and Nathan. They went to meet Noah, and they haven't returned. Stephen went to check on them."Surprised, Ashley contemplated if Jonathan was somehow connected to Delilah not being home. Without saying anything, she stormed back to her room, frustration evident in her movements.***********PATROL STATIONJonathan and Noah, both nursing their wounds, awaited their turn to give statements to
Noah coldly confirmed, "Yes, Delilah, you. And I needed someone for help because it was impossible for me to enter his pack and execute this plan. So, I hired someone. Someone from your family. Someone whose first and last priority was money. Only money."As Noah finished speaking, another voice cut through the heavy air, and Delilah turned to see the source."And that man was me."The revelation hung in the air, and Delilah faced the unexpected speaker, her eyes widening with a mix of disbelief and horror.Finding Jonathan walking towards them with a creepy smile on his face sent shivers down Delilah's spine. She had suspected his involvement, but the revelation that he was part of this sinister plan from the beginning left her horrified. Noah and Jonathan embraced tightly, their camaraderie intensifying Delilah's fear.Noah, resuming his confession, walked with Jonathan towards Delilah, the weight of their collusion bearing down on her.Smarat interjected, "Exactly. Jonathan, who wa
AFTER AN HOURRhea pleaded, "No ways, Delilah. How can I let you go alone? Let Bro come; he will drop you back. Please, let him come, and you can meet him too."Unable to deny, Delilah agreed, instructing Rhea to take care of Nathan. She seized the opportunity to slip into the guest room, expressing her need to retrieve something. Rhea nodded in agreement, focusing on Nathan while Delilah seized the chance to investigate Noah's room. She sought a clue linking Noah to Jonathan and the mysterious connection between them.Closing the door behind her, Delilah hurriedly searched Noah's room, hoping to find evidence of their association. Despite her efforts, the closet yielded only clothes and personal items. Frustrated but determined, she continued her search. Old albums fell, distracting her momentarily, but she had no time to inspect them.As she placed the albums back on the shelf, an old photo slipped out – a snapshot of Noah and Rhea playing on a beach, building sand castles. Noah, ju
PACK MANSION - AFTERNOONAshley, wearing an expression of determination, approached her mother who was engrossed in reading a Holy book. "Mom, we've thought about something," she declared, prompting her mother to pause and look up.Their mom, sensing a significant announcement, inquired, "What is it, Ashley?"With conviction in her voice, Ashley revealed, "My husband and I have seen enough here. We are planning to settle somewhere else forever."Their mom, while not surprised, listened attentively. "Your wish, love. Who am I to stop you?" she responded calmly.But Ashley had another request. "Before I leave, I need my share."The Holy book now rested on the table as their mom, taken aback, stood up. "Share? Which share? Didn't Stephen give you everything that belonged to you long ago? He assigned all the property that belonged to your mother to you without keeping a penny for himself. What else do you expect now?"Ashley clarified, "What he gave me long ago was my mother's share. I sh
