ON THE OTHER HANDDelilah's voice trembled with anger as she shouted, "Leave me! I said leave me!" Her chest heaved with difficulty as she struggled to regain her composure. The air felt heavy, and something was terribly amiss.She reached out to the wolf within her, seeking solace and answers to the overwhelming situation. "What was happening? Why am I feeling weaker than normal?" Delilah tried to communicate with her wolf, but it was a feeble connection at best, almost as if a veil of magic obscured their bond."It's magic. He is doing magic on us using the witch. She is getting control over us," her wolf's frantic voice resonated in her mind, sending a shiver down her spine. The realization that dark forces were at play only intensified her unease.Desperation seeped into Delilah's voice as she contemplated her options. "What should we do? Should we shift and make a run for it? We definitely can't fight him." The idea of fleeing seemed like the only sensible choice, but even that w
The searing sensations of the mate bond she once shared with Alpha Stephen, the source of her torment and weakness, dissipated. Delilah's body no longer felt weak or in pain from the bond that had tethered her to him.Confusion swept over her as she considered the implications. Had Alpha Stephen finally completed the ritual and marked her as his mate? The abrupt change left her in a state of bewilderment, her thoughts racing as she grappled with the unexpected turn of events.Is that why she wasn't feeling any connection with him or whatsoever? Emptiness settled inside her along with the pain in her body, caused by Kevin. Everything from a few moments ago was gone but that doesn't mean she was completely fine now. Her whole body was aching because of the abuse he was doing to her using the witch."Alpha, the procedure is complete. Now, it's under your control," the old witch intoned, her voice laden with an eerie sense of power. Delilah's confusion deepened as she watched the proceedi
"I will fucking kill you!" Stephen growled at Kevin as he kneeled down in front of a badly injured Delilah. He took her in his arms while hugging her tightly. His expensive white shirt was getting bloodied by her.She was having a really hard time keeping her eyes opened, yet she was trying her best to do that because of two reasons. First, she couldn't believe that Stephen came to save her. Second, she was happy that she wouldn't be dying or be going with Kevin. She knew Stephen wouldn't let that happen in a million years. She didn't know from where this much trust was coming from but she just knew!"Don't interfere here, alpha Stephen. It's none of your business!" Kevin growled at Stephen after getting up from the ground. He tried to take a step toward them but Stephen's one glare was enough to stop him in his tracks. That's the power he held. Even Kevin's warriors weren't brave enough to stay ten feet near him. And the witch? It ran away already."How dare you say that to me?! It
"How fucking dare you touch MY MATE! I will fucking kill you! She is mine! So, don't even try to touch her again! That will be the last day of you in this world. Do you understand me?!" He growled while pulling Delilah more than closer, trying to protect her by his tight hug. At that moment, Delilah was shocked would be an understatement. She was beyond that as she looked at him with fascination."Your mate? Now is that some kind of joke? She is my mate and I can prove that!" Kevin spoke up in confidence, shocking them again."How?" Stephen asked with gritted teeth."The mate bond. Nothing is more powerful than the mate bond for mates. Now, let's see if she can feel it with you or me. With whoever she feels it, she is his mate." Kevin said with a smirk, confusing them once again. They both looked at each other before looking back at Kevin. "Okay then." Delilah breathed out and slowly raised her shaking hands up to Stephen's cheeks and cupped his face. Within a few seconds her eyes w
"Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!" Stephen's loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building. Stephen's frantic plea echoed through the hospital corridors, a chilling contrast to the sterile surroundings. The harsh, fluorescent lights flickered as if unable to bear witness to the intensity of the moment. Nurses and staff members scurried about, but the urgency in Stephen's voice demanded more than the routine hustle.But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain. But he wasn't feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn't feel it even a little bit. The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn't bear to look at Delilah, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won't be able
"Where is she?! Where is MY DAUGHTER?!"The room was heavy with tension as a man stormed into the hospital, his eyes ablaze with anger. He glared at Stephen, who stood near Delilah's bedside, guilt etched on his face. But it soon turned into anger as he recognized the man."What the fuck are you doing here, David?" Stephen growled but David totally ignored him as his eyes landed on Delilah.David seethed, "This is all your fault, Stephen! You were supposed to take care of Delilah, and now she's injured!"Stephen shot back, "Don't pin this on me, David! You abandoned her years ago. If you cared at all, you would have never left her alone. Why did you come back after years?! What do you want?! What the fuck is your motive?!"Their voices echoed through the sterile hospital corridor, each word a dagger in the air. The memories of a shattered family resurfaced as emotions intensified."Don't play the victim card, alpha Stephen! We both know what happened that night! I can and will destroy
"I…I just know… we need to save her… find some other way." Stephen ordered while looking away from them, his face was getting blank. He slowly started to believe that there was no other way other than going to Kevin who actually could be her mate. But... He just can't accept that. The thought almost destroyed him. Just when he was losing hope, they all heard a new voice. "There is no other way, big alpha boy. Only you can save her."Everyone looked at the entrance of the corridor and found a woman standing there. Stephen recognized her immediately because she was the reason he could reach Delilah actually. But was it to any use now?"Witch?! How dare you come to my territory again and how dare you talk to me like that?" Stephen growled at her. "I am not your pet, alpha. That tone doesn't work for me. So, I am not going to be afraid of you. Not at least in a situation like this where her life is more important than these silly fights. Because trust me, if it wasn't for that pretty b
Stephen's heart raced as he cradled Delilah's hand, a stark contrast between his calloused fingers and her fragile ones. The dim hospital room emphasized the severity of her injuries, each cut on her face telling a story of the accident that had brought them here.His mind flashed back to the moments leading up to this. Stephen's world had momentarily shattered with the impact, but now, as he focused on her healing form, hope flickered within him.The room felt sterile, the antiseptic scent mingling with the tension in the air. The machines hummed softly, tracking Delilah's vital signs, a constant reminder of the fragility of life. Stephen, however, was oblivious to everything but the woman before him.As he traced the contours of her face, memories of happier times flooded his mind – the laughter shared, the whispered confessions in the dark. Delilah, once vibrant, now lay still, a mere shell of her former self. Yet, the inexplicable power of their mate bond seemed to weave a restora

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
