HEALER AND THE BEAST 8 | When Her Soul is Pissed
“It shouldn’t have happened,” Jasmine thrust her long, manicured fingers through those ebony locks and tugged hard to get this prickly and icky feeling out of her system. She felt like she was drowning in a pool of thick, red blood and no matter how much she tried to get some air in her lungs, couldn’t find her way up. It was all too messed up. And the entire array of events she saw so vividly in her head was messing her up even more.“What the fuck does that even mean?” Zayden snarled, his entire face contorted so precariously enraged that it fired a shiver down her spine. And that was saying something. Because usually, she couldn’t be bothered to give a fuck about how much she drove him crazy. It was a part of her personality. She thrived on getting on people’s nerves.“It means that you’re a jackass and you need to care about the feelings of others,” she snapped, her head still spinning, her heart ricocheting underneath her chest. She couldn’t push the resentment and frustration bo

During the entire ride, Dhara couldn’t stop thinking about what Jasmine had said.“All your life you’ve tucked yourself away from the crowd, with a fear that you’ll put your faith in the hands of the wrong people and they wouldn’t think twice before crushing it underneath their feet. It’s a constant fear that you live in. But you never let it show.”Constant fear.Never let it show.It was all too personal for someone to know so much about her. It felt wrong. On so many levels. It was as if someone barged into her privacy and left her bare. No one had ever said something like that to her. No one ever read her like an open book. And the thought alone pushed her to the edge. Perhaps that was the sole reason she couldn’t stay a second longer in that god-forbidden place.She felt exposed.Vulnerable.As if someone had broken down the walls built around her heart and now there was no way to protect herself.However, there was also a part of her that wasn’t convinced enough. Perhaps what Ja

The questions leaving her sister’s mouth stunned Dhara to the bones. Of course, Dhara wasn’t about to pretend about whom she was being questioned. It was obviously the man from the previous night. The one her sister had caught her within a super awkward position.Gosh, her cheeks warmed and probably turned as red as a tomato. How was she going to explain something she didn’t understand herself?Tensing the grip of the steering wheel, her knuckles turning pale, Dhara sucked in a shaky breath and gaped ahead. She knew how it would sound if she admitted she met the guy for the first time. She knew it would give Nina a wrong impression, the one her sister might use as an excuse before tossing herself into yet another trouble.“You remember that animal shelter I used to volunteer, right?” Dhara swallowed, aware of the two pairs of curiosities upon her. Pinpricks biting at the back of her nape.“Yeah? So what?”Dhara licked her dry lips. “Well, I know him from there. Nice guy. Helped with t

*An episode from the past life of Dhara and Zayden. There will be more such episodes.*------“What’s the rush, father? Are you so tired of your daughter that now you’re keen to bind me with simply any stranger on the streets?” Selene rebutted, the graceful maiden exhausted and hurt from being slandered by her own family and friends. Just because she hadn’t found her mate yet, didn’t mean she deserved to be treated as a traitor. It wasn’t her fault the moon goddess was taking so much time to match her with her soulmate. Was it?“You don’t understand, Selene!” Her father, the honourable Beta of the Silvermoon pack, growled, irritated and distorted by the outbursts of his only daughter who hadn’t found her mate yet. How shameful was it—did she even know? She had reached the age of 25 and was yet to be mated. How long could he keep her with himself? In the past few months, she had become the gossip of the town and their pack. Everyone looked down at her as if she was stained and curse

The pungent smell in the bar was nauseating.What kind of place was this? It looked shabby, smelled horrible, and the few men gathered around the tables and seats across the counter looked nothing less than goons, ready to pounce on people left and right.There were rats scurrying in the corners, and spiderwebs clung to the walls. All the wooden work looked old and creaky.Not to forget the woman behind the counter; God, she looked like an old hag, a minute away from kidnapping kids and saving a burst of villainous laughter for the end.“Don’t look so miserable,” Zayden chuckled, moving his hand around Dhara’s back and giving a firm squeeze to her waist.She tensed. One, because even through a decent layer of fabric, his skin felt hot as hell. And two, because she ended up gasping so loud, a few heads turned their way, none of them looking happy or even remotely welcoming.“What the hell is this place?” she whisper-yelled, shoving his hand away and tugging at the hem of her top, sudde

Ripping herself away from his arms, she turned around with an annoyed huff, trying to suppress the jolt of electricity his touch had set in motion. She pushed a dark curl out of her face.“You said we are here for answers,” didn’t you? He assured her this was the last time he would trouble her with such a request. “Let’s… let’s not waste time.”“Right,” she heard him mumble with a frown, his gaze hard and harsh on her. “Come on, this way.”Thankfully, there didn’t seem to be any more interruptions this time. Once they reached the counter, Zayden helped her sit on one of the swiveling stools before taking a seat next to her.Viraj, the other guy with him, continued to stand a few feet away from them, his stony gaze set on everyone and almost everywhere in the room.“Zayden!” the old woman behind the counter hailed, a wild Cheshire-cat grin curving her lips up. “What brings the Alpha of the Alphas to our crappy dwelling?”Again, that Alpha thing. What the heck was it?“When you know it’

It was hard to keep his hands off her. It was… it was killing him.But understanding the fact that someone could have rigged the attraction between them—the thought that bothered him all night long—he pushed himself to control the fierce desire boiling in his veins. He had to clench his fist as tight as he could, letting the nails sink into his flesh and enduring the sharp twinge of pain instead of granting them the freedom to roam over her tempting body.Damn, she was gorgeous.And he was so wickedly miserable.Since last night, he had received nothing from Jasmine. That girl simply disappeared with whatever information she had garnered with the mind link she performed with Dhara. He knew she had stumbled upon something significant. His natural instincts were screaming at him that she was trying to hide something. Something, if turned out to be true, he needed to teach her a lesson for it. That’s why, when he woke up this morning, he decided to seek the opinion of another witch. One

Dhara blinked several times, but the sight in front of her remained the same. Zayden and Jules were staring at her as if she had grown two more heads over her neck. Well, what the hell?“It’s OK. There’s nothing to worry about,” Jules said after a while, waving a hand as if to dismiss the frown slowly deepening upon Dhara’s forehead.Her gaze shipped back to Zayden. He was standing near the door, not sure when he even got there, but even if she was curious, she held it back well and gave Jules a gentle nod instead.Turning back to face the table across from which Jules sat, Dhara peered down at her hands. A few minutes back when Jules asked all of them to hold each other hands and meditate, she had felt her palms growing hot as hell. As if someone had set them on fire. It did not hurt, though. No, not at all. In fact, the warmth was fairly calm, seeping out of all the pores of her body. But now that the warmth was gone and also any physical contact with either of them, strangely, she

HEALER AND THE BEAST 21 | When She Thinks He's Mistaken And She's Nothing Special
Dhara couldn’t sleep all night, but that was expected of her, considering the kind of week she had spent. God, she still couldn’t believe it. Now that she was back in her safe haven—her home—the realization of what had transpired in the last few days started to slam into her chest with a force that made her eyes go round with shock and her mouth drop open in disbelief.Fuck! Who could have thought, though? Who could have thought that creatures like werewolves and witches existed? That they lived among humans with no trace of suspicion at all. That the world was crammed with so much more than she or any normal person understood.Rising from the bed, Dhara quietly moved away and found herself standing in front of the dressing table. She saw herself wearing an extra-large t-shirt as a nightdress and noticed her dark hair piled up on top of her head, making her look even messier than she felt inside. But that was not what she was trying to look at. What she was trying to see was what made
HEALER AND THE BEAST 20 | When He's Glad They Have Found A Mutual Ground
Zayden glanced to his side and found Dhara lost in her thoughts. He knew she was lost because even though they had reached her apartment complex a few minutes ago, she hadn’t made a move. She kept staring out the window, her breathing steady, her body relaxed, but her mind? Her mind was at war with itself. He could tell. He could almost feel it in his bones. And dammit, he wished he could give her a bit of respite from all these overwhelming emotions and the conflict that she was clearly fighting with herself. But if there was anything the Alpha male had learned from his past experience, it was that one had to face their demons alone. He could assure her, support her, and give her a shoulder to worry on for all he wanted, but the truth was that no one knew her better than she knew herself. If there was anyone who could help her right now, it was her own wisdom and her strength. No one else. Quietly, he sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. A part of his was glad and overjo
HEALER AND THE BEAST 19 | When She Can't Run Like A Coward
Dhara had run out of the room so fast, her head spun and her legs shook even long after she had shut herself in the room for almost an hour.It was just so weird.Not, not just weird. It was unbelievable. A meteor-shower kind of unbelievable. It just didn’t feel real. None of it did.Her chest rose and fell with untamed breathing while her eyes watered, panic settling deep into her bones. She didn’t know what to do, or how to handle this new piece of bizarre information. Was it even true? Everything that she had seen with her own two eyes. Or was it something cooked up by her own silly brain? It was so impossible to be sure. Or to believe in beings like him…Dhara shook her head and drew another rush of fresh air into her shocked lungs. She needed to get her head back on track; she needed to think straigh
HEALER AND THE BEAST 18 | When It's Time To Face The Wolf In The Room
Dhara was tired. So damn tired.If it weren’t for someone knocking on the door, she wasn’t sure what would have happened. Honestly, she was dreadfully shocked by her ability to cave in to this man’s lust. Or perhaps he was simply exemplifying the lust of her own. Why else could she not push him away? Why wouldn’t her heart jolt with a protest at his advancements? Why did she feel like she wanted him to touch her in ways no one ever did? Why did she want to surrender herself to his will?Those were the questions that bothered her to the bones. Day and night. Right and left. On and off. There was no end to it. No end at all. He was a conundrum she wasn’t able to figure out. Like a puzzle, the pieces of which were way too complicated for her simple brain to comprehend. All that time he was far, she felt like she could do it. That everything was normal and t
HEALER AND THE BEAST 17 | When She Fights Back
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?” Dhara screamed, her voice breaking out of the room, making the wolves minding their business outside in the hallway wince hard enough to crack their jaws. Not that Zayden felt any different. Never had anyone ever talked to him like that. With such disrespect. He almost had the urge to teach this girl a lesson. But his wolf had been at his throat since the moment those monsters abducted her. They both had been restless. Scared shitless. How did she manage to make his wolf act like a whimpering dog was par his wits? He couldn’t even begin to explain how torturous those long hours were for him and his wolf when they held her captive and didn’t allow them to have even a glimpse of her until it was dawn and they were satisfied with the trade. He told himself that b
HEALER AND THE BEAST Past Life | When They Met For The First Time
After traveling for three days and two nights, Selene made it to a small village on Snowdrop mountain, a heavenly town in the snowy mountains where the ceremony of the Moon shower was organized once every seven years. They considered the day to be auspicious; the moon was said to be brighter and bigger than ever.However, instead of settling in the town and getting a room for rent, Selene camped on the outskirts of the deep and dark forest that surrounded the village. She had the money—her father had given her enough to last her for a month—but she felt more at ease lingering close to nature instead of the bustling town where only werewolves were known to live.It might also be because of the fact that she was there to take part in the ceremony. The thought made her jittery and a little nauseous. She wasn’t scared of the judgments in people’s eyes
HEALER AND THE BEAST 16 | When She Is In Grave Danger
With her ear pressed against the door, Dhara was trying to hear the conversation taking place outside of the room she was locked in. Ever since that strange man led her to this place—God knows what it looked like or where it was situated—she had been blindfolded, cuffed, and trapped in a room alone.It smelled weird, too, as if the place hadn’t been used for a very long time and neither the windows had been opened, letting the warm rays of the sun and the fresh air in. Oddly, Dhara felt cold and uneasy, her skin prickling with weird sensations.It was only when the hushed noises of two people conversing reached her ears that she realized someone else was there too. Earlier to this, the room had been awfully lifeless. Dhara was propelled to wonder if she was chucked into some harrowing dungeon of sorts
HEALER AND THE BEAST 15 | When She Promises to Bring Her Back
“But how can this happen, Grandma? How can a girl be a healer?” Jasmine questioned, her features contorted in a deep frown, her hands clasped into fists as she peered at the translucent form of her late great-grandmother. “Isn’t it against nature? Isn’t it…cruel?”No. She did not understand this, and could not wrap her head around the twisted game the universe was playing. It was outrageous, really. There was a reason a female could not be a healer. Even though in the eyes of the gods and goddesses, a woman and a man held an equal place, there were several matters and obligations only a certain gender could carry out.“It is,” the old woman agreed, her quiet eyes staring into the vast space between the two of them. Her white hair was just as white as the glow of her appearance. “But we are only humans. Never forget that. How do we know what this scheme of nature is?”
