Nicole’s POV “Argh, bloody hell.” I groaned slumping down on the ground and closing my eyes throwing the rake beside me. I cannot believe at the time of my beauty care I am here raking the leaves, how can even Adrian be so harsh with me? Did he forget that I am a childhood friend and much more close than his mate? So what if I attacked her? She is alright, no? I turned my head to the side and found her giggling and enjoying herself with Bella on the balcony of Adrian’s room where I am supposed to be. It was my place that dared to take away, I just don’t understand what he saw in this bitch to choose her as his mate. Was I not enough? Could he have not to waited or even ask me? I would have instantly left everything in town, and come here, only for him. But no, once again he had to give my position to someone else. But, no worries just like the previous one, she will also have to leave both, him and the position which I am destined to. “Laugh all you want to, soon enough you will no
Devika’s POV “Hey,” I greeted Nicole as I walked out of the room and almost dumped into her at the stairs. She bowed her head but I did not miss the eye roll she gave to my ‘hi’. I frowned finding it disrespectful but let it be and nodded. “You did not go to the training?” I asked. She shook her head and sighed dramatically as if annoyed, “Seeing me here, you might already know that I did not but still you want me to say. I get it, no Luna, I did not go for training. And before you question why, it's because I was feeling dizzy.” I was amazed at how she passed a lip tight smile after that and just went down the stairs without even saying anything. She seemed to be in a bad mood, definitely must be coming from Adrian’s office. Now what did he say to her? I sighed taking the stairs in order to know what actually happened, I know she must have taken him to his limits making him lose his cool. I knocked on the door only to hear him growl, “What is it now?” He questioned, “If nothing imp
I stood at the edge of the clearing, watching as my pack's females gathered in front of me. They were a diverse group, ranging in age from young pups to mature adults, but they all shared a fierce determination to protect our pack. As their Luna, it was my duty to ensure that they were prepared for any challenge that might come our way. Adrian has given me the responsibility and trusted me with them after tracking my recovery. And, now I have prove him along with the pack member's trust upon correct. Training such different generations might be tough but that's where actual skill as a Luna and warrior will be tested of mine. I took a deep breath, inhaling the scents of the forest around us. The fresh pine needles, the damp earth, the sweet scent of wildflowers. It was a beautiful day, the sky a brilliant shade of blue, and I felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over me. But I knew that this peace was fragile, that danger could lurk around any corner. "Ladies," I said, my voi
Adrian’s POV She entered the room as I walked out of the closet and passed me a wide smile with a tiring look in her pretty eyes. She has been working hard now since her health got back on track, training herself day and evening in between training the females too. It has been an exhausting week for her, but she never complains. As the daily routine, she covered the distance and wrapped her arms around me softly pressing her head against my chest. I smiled caressing her head, and maintaining a few minutes of silence as she likes. “Hmm… just so refreshing.” I chuckled, “I still don’t understand how this seems refreshing to you.” She pulled away and shrugged her shoulder before entering the washroom to freshen up and prepare for the day. It has been a week since this woman started training the pack's female members and to be said she is doing an excellent job. As Arya said, our female warrior leader, since Devika joined in training and helped her a lot of females have improvised, and
Devika’s POVThis man, I swear is going to make me feel embarrassed in front of the whole pack. Because of him today, I had to wear a turtle neck in order to cover my neck full of his hickey marks and get teased by Eva. She has the whole day been pointing and bringing me to change my style intentionally. As if she was not enough, even the female members started smiling and looking at me.Arghhh… it’s so embarrassing and this man won’t ever realize it. “Let go, Adrian. I need to shower and have breakfast, my stomach soon will start growling and you will regret it.” Such a shameless creature he is that his smile not even for a second faded, he continued pushing the door open. This man is not going to really leave me to have a peaceful time during shower also, I sighed and let go of the knob allowing him to get inside.“What do you want?” I asked sternly with my hands on my waist. He soon passed his arms around me through the triangle between my arm and waist. I rolled my eyes at him as
Adrian’s POVI stood at the edge of the training field, watching as Marcus led the warriors through their drills. My eyes were fixed on him, studying his movements, the way he commanded the respect of his pack. He was a natural leader, born to guide and protect his people. A smile formed on my face remembering the way Devika praised him when she had asked me to give him a chance.I had always been impressed by Marcus's skills, and his ability to inspire and motivate his pack. He had a way of bringing out the best in the warriors, pushing them to their limits and beyond. It was no wonder that he had been chosen as the beta of his previous pack. As I watched Marcus barking out the orders, his voice carrying across the field. "Keep your guard up! Watch your flanks! Remember, the enemy could come at us from any direction!"The warriors responded with a chorus of "Yes, leader!" Their loyalty to Marcus was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at the sight. They were my pa
Adrian’s POV As we entered the cabin, Devika turned to me with her eyes twinkling full of amusement. "I will have to admit, Alpha, I never expected of you to be such a softie and admiring when it comes to Marcus," she said with a wide smile and tease in her eyes.I chuckled, shaking my head. "I just have a lot of faith in him. He is a great fighter and a strong leader. I am glad I listened to you that day and went with my gut of giving him the position. Being the warrior leader is a big responsibility and we are lucky he is the one who took it."She smiled warmly grasping my hand in hers, "And we are lucky you are the one to take our responsibility, Alpha. You lead us with strength and wisdom. I am lucky to have you, I cannot ask anyone better as my mate."Feeling content, my heart swelled up with affection, she always have her way with words. Never fails to make others feel worthy and loved.“You should take a rest, there are some papers laying on my table which require my attention
Devika’s POV The meeting room filled with tension as we all sat around the large oak table. Everyone’s faces are grave at the new news and tension upon what is coming ahead, what the enemies are planning. “The warrior reported that he heard the rogues talking about them misleading the packs,” Samuel said informing what the meeting is held for. “As reported before they settled for now in the restricted area decided by all the pack around, definitely planning something huge. And, the warrior even heard that the troops are not going to attack us as the packs are thinking which is beneficial for them.” Dad snarled in anger with his fingers curling into fists. “They might be thinking of taking us by surprise, but we should not let it happen and be ready for whatever they are planning.” Mom said grasping his fist in her hand. “We cannot let our guards down just because we learned about them not coming our way.” She spoke calmly with firmness in her voice. We nodded in agreement. “Marcus

We would steal moments of respite amidst the bustling pack, venturing into the depths of the forest where the magic stone remained hidden. There, in the sacred silence, we would reconnect, our souls entwined in a dance of love and understanding. It was during one of these stolen moments that a subtle ripple in the air caught my attention. An instinctive shiver ran down my spine, and I looked into Adrian's eyes, knowing that he had felt it too. Something was amiss.

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.

They escaped to a secluded spot near the river, the gentle sound of flowing water providing a soothing backdrop to their conversation.

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

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

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.
