Devika’s POV“When did you came back?” Adrian asked her with a toothy smile while serving her the meat. “And, why did I not know about it?”She chuckled, “Oh, you did not change even a bit. Same as before.” He groaned as she ruffled his hair to which she along with others started laughing including me too. But… seeing my mate’s reaction all of a sudden something started taking its place inside me, an unknown feeling wanting to fill in the remaining, even a thin air like space between us. “What is she doing? Ask her to keep her hands away or else I would bite them off.” Willow growled in my head making me wish for it to come true as her hand reach his face while wiping off some crumbs stuck on his cheek. “Is this not too much?”I turned my head to around with the hope of them having the same reaction but no, I was just wrong. They were behaving as if it is very normal and these two have been like this since years. “What do you think? It must be, just see how he is enjoying her attent
Adrian’s POV “What is it? Why is she behaving so?” Hunter questioned while feeling worried about Devika who all of sudden started behaving weirdly or should I say ignorant. She has been ignoring us continuously now for an hour. I just sighed for the moon goddess knows how many times, I lost count while sitting with Nicole as she tells us about her life in the city. How she has to tackle the problems in order to keep herself safe and let others know about her reality. Letting her wolf go on a run is just another task she has to deal with.” Nicole, I think it is late now. You should go home, your granny must be waiting for you.” Dad said looking outside at the darkness. “Oh yeah, I should go. Just spent time with Adrian... and you all did not realize how the time spend. Forget to keep the track of time.” She replied getting up from her seat. “That is so sweet of you, Nicole.” Mom said packing some food for her and handing her over. “I have packed some for your granny, tell her these
Devika’s POVI threw the pillow off the bed and walked out at balcony as my mate still did not returned after dropping off his close friend back home. “Don’t know what are they doing? Why is it taking him so long?” feeling impatient and uncomfortable in my heart I murmured. “I so want to just break those hands off her body, just how dare she be clingy to him?” I whispered slamming my fist on the railing. “You should not have let him go with her, I don’t understand why you sent him with her? It seemed like cut own throat.” Willow said, “Hearing you I felt just so betrayed, I expected you to not let him go but instead you, yourself sent him.” “What you want me to do? To accept in front of everyone, in front of him and that close friend that I don’t like that girl? She has some intentions? Who would believe me, you think?” I yelled at her not being able to hold back myself with her adding fuel to my mood. “They all know her since years, no one will believe me.” Willow kept silence for
Adrian’s POV As the early morning sun rays began to stream through the curtains, I opened my eyes slowly only for a wide smile to take over my face. With the beautiful mate curled up into my arms, I looked at her peaceful face contented in sleep. I did not want to leave the bed yet and wanted to spend a few more minutes by being beside her but leaned over, gently planting a kiss on her forehead. I got out of bed, and entered the washroom to do my morning chores with a plan of surprising my mate with a heart warming morning wish from me. After exhausting her for the night, this much she deserves. Don’t even think she is all sweet and loving like before, it has been three days since the barbecue night I have been trying to persuade her. But the task seems like taking a lifetime. Whenever it seemed like she is convinced, again her mood becomes sour. It has been a mere go round. I went down to the kitchen to prepare something healthy for her before she gets up and leave for the training
Adrian’s POV“You can do it, be careful and focused.” I said getting her nod in reply with a wide smile on her lips as she squeezed her hands holding mine. “All the best, I know you can do it.” Leaning forward, I planted a lingering kiss on her forehead when got interrupted.Interrupted by Nicole which my mate seemed to not like much as her smile turned into a frown. “Won’t you wish your friend good luck, Adi?” I sighed hearing her as just day before yesterday I learned about Devika’s issue with Nicole, she does not like her interruption now and then always. But, when I tried to explain her with Nicole being here for just few months and we are the one she is close to the most here, she replied with just a, ‘I understand, don’t worry.’After which she did not even waited to hear if I had something further to say and left the room. “All the best, Nicole.” I tightened hold on Devika’s hand to make sure she does not run away. She needs to see that Nicole is not an interruption but her way
Third Person's POV The training field was abuzz with anticipation as both, Luna and Nicole stood at the center of the field taking their positions and facing each other. They are both members of the pack but with intentions that vary way too much. One wants to prove herself and claim to be better than Luna for her own personal desire whereas Luna wants nothing from it and just does her best. She did not even want this to even happen but had to come up when challenged, “Come on, Luna. At least to prove your mate’s choice you should.” Whispered Nicole in her ear when Nicole had said about the battle. She stood tall and proud, her long black hair flowing in the breeze, he muscles tense and ready for action. She is a formidable opponent, with years of experience and a powerful presence that commanded respect. Nicole looked small in front her Luna, with fiery red hair that matched the intensity of her spirit. She is younger than Devika but is a skilled fighter which in the pack most of
Third Person’s POV“Adrian, listen to her first. She must have lost control of her wolf otherwise you also know she would not have done so. No matter how short tempered she is, she won’t try to harm someone, especially Devika. She knows well, what she means to you. Hurting her would mean hurting you.” Mom said softly to Adrian while caressing Devika’s hair who was asleep due to the medication given to her.Adrian walked out of the closet buttoning his shirt, “No matter what you say, she cannot be justified. No such excuse can save her. How can she break the rule to attack Devika, her Luna? She is supposed to be loyal to her, not this. Just look at her, how exhausted and injured she is.”Getting up from the bed, Mom walked to him and held his hand. “I know, and I understand what you are saying, but I am just saying for you to let her keep her explanation. We know it was not intentional.”“What are you even saying, Mom? You are seriously defending her? She tried to kill his mate, you so
Devika’s POV “You don’t need to do any of this, just get up,” I said attempting to get up from the couch, as she was kneeling down in front of me. No matter how much I dislike I have in my heart for her, I never wanted this. “Adrian, stop her, please.” I requested him not to like it, it must be feeling so humiliated. I cannot even imagine it. But, he shook his head, “No, let her apologize to you. This is the most simple decision I can give on her part.” Looking at her, he said. His eyes were speaking how hurt he was with all this, but his facial features were stern and hard as his decision. The way the nerve at the center of the forehead twitched, made me realize of his anger, “She should be thankful to her granny or else she would have been rotting down back in the dungeon by now.” A gasp left me hearing his words, “Dungeon?” He nodded his head, and I turned around instantly, “Nicole, get up. Come on, get up now.” I did not expect Adrian to be so strict. “Seriously, Adrian? You kep

Our pack members continued to train diligently, their abilities evolving and expanding with each passing day. Amidst the peace, Adrian and I found solace in each other's arms.

Devika's POV The dense forest stretched out before us, its mysterious depths calling to me like a siren's song. The air was heavy with anticipation, a palpable energy that sent shivers down my spine. Beside me stood Adrian, my mate and the Alpha of our pack. With every step we took, I could feel his strength and determination radiating from him, reminding me of the responsibility we carried as the guardians of the magic stone.

The rustle of leaves underfoot and the soft hush of wind through the trees created a symphony of nature, guiding us deeper into the heart of the enchanted woods.

Days turned into weeks, and the packhouse buzzed with renewed energy and camaraderie. Adrian and Devika had emerged from the ordeal stronger than ever, their bond deepened by the shared experience. They reveled in the simple joys of everyday life, cherishing each moment they spent together. The pack members, too, celebrated their reunion, organizing a gathering to honor the resilience and love that had brought them back together. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and music, as the packhouse resonated with the sound of joyous celebration. It was a reminder of the unity that bound them, a reminder that no matter the challenges they faced, they were always there for one another. Amidst the revelry, Devika and Adrian found a moment of quiet reflection. They escaped to a secluded spot near the river, the gentle sound of flowing water providing a soothing backdrop to their conversation. Devika leaned against a tree, her gaze fixed on the shimmering surface of the river. "Adrian, I c
The packhouse was filled with an uneasy silence as Adrian searched frantically for Devika. The realization that she was nowhere to be found had sent a wave of panic crashing through him. He had scoured every corner of their shared living space, calling out her name, but there was no response. It was as if Devika had simply vanished into thin air. Adrian's mind raced with worry as he retraced his steps, trying to remember the last time he had seen her. They had spent the morning together, sharing breakfast and laughing over silly jokes. Devika had mentioned something about going for a walk in the woods, wanting to clear her head. It was unlike her to disappear without a word, and Adrian's concern grew with every passing minute. He rushed outside, his keen eyes scanning the forest's edge, hoping to catch a glimpse of Devika's familiar figure. The tall trees stood still, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. Adrian's heart sank as he realized he had no clue where to start looking
Devika could feel the weight of the impending clash, the gravity of the situation pressing upon her shoulders. She knew that her actions in the moments to come would shape the fate of her pack and determine the course of their future.With a flicker of movement, the woman in the black cloak broke the silence. She stepped forward, her cloak billowing around her like a dark shroud. Her voice carried an air of authority, tinged with a hint of amusement."You are a brave one, Devika," the woman said, her tone dripping with condescension. "But you underestimate the forces that are at play. You cannot comprehend the depth of the darkness that surrounds you."Devika squared her shoulders, her gaze unwavering. "I may not understand everything, but I know enough to recognize a threat when I see one," she retorted, her voice laced with determination. "And I will not let you harm my pack."The woman chuckled softly, a chilling sound that sent shivers down Devika's spine. "Oh, my dear, you have n
Devica, the Luna of the pack, prowled silently through the dense underbrush of the forest. Her heightened senses were on high alert, the scent of her imposter lingering in the air. She had caught wind of the doppelgänger's deceitful intentions and was determined to uncover the truth. Moonlight filtered through the canopy above, casting ethereal beams of silver onto the forest floor. Devica's white fur blended seamlessly with the glow, granting her an otherworldly presence. With each step, her paws barely made a sound, her movements becoming an elegant dance with the night. As she neared the outskirts of the pack's territory, Devica caught a glimpse of her imposter, a sleek and cunning replica of herself, slipping through the shadows.

Devica pursued her imposter relentlessly, her eyes never straying from the silhouette in the distance. The
