Happy reading :)
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “But why are you going to Australia?” Nash asked Jared as we all sat down for lunch. Nash had also joined us. When I had informed him that Jared was here, he was back instantly. “Work,” Jared shrugged in such a secretive manner that Nash’s brows furrowed. “Okay, fine,” Jared grunted. “I am going for the summit.” “I will also go for the summit, but it is not for another four days,” Nash spoke. Jared pouted… “Spill it,” I spoke as I jabbed my knife in his direction. “There are a few issues going on in the Australian clan. The alpha male there, Martin, is our distant cousin and my good friend, and he has asked for some support. So, dad sent me ahead to see if our clan can help out in some way,” Jared sighed. “What kind of trouble!?” I demanded. “Martin believes that the summit is going to be targeted,” Jared grunted. And my jaw dropped. I looked between Jared and Nash and spoke rather loudly and angrily, “NO!” Both looked at me in shocked surprise.
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. That night, once Jared had left for Australia and Nash and I were alone, I insisted that Nash took extra security with him. “I will be fine,” Nash sighed as he wrapped himself around me. “But –” I started but he placed his lips firmly on mine and groaned. “Can I first have you?” he demanded as he pushed his hand in my shirt. And I gave in. How could I not? And the topic subsided from the conversation that night. But it seemed that his parents, or one of them, or someone close to them were listening in when we were talking to Jared during lunch time. So next morning, they called us for breakfast. Post the fiasco on my first morning here, Nash and I have been having breakfast in our balcony, in private! He insisted on it because he just did not want his parents to spoil my mood right in the morning. But today, they called us. “We made your favorites,” his dad spoke as he pointed at a couple of breakfast snacks on the table. I wanted to tell them that pan
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I know I should not have said that. I know I should not have reacted like this. I know should not have risen to their bait, but how dare they have such presumptions. How dare they dismiss my parents love and affection with their non sense. I know it is very common for parents their age to ignore their children, that they love them but don’t show it. But it does not give them a right to judge parents who do both – love their children and show it too! Anyway, I didn’t interact with Nash’s parents any more. His father anyway always stayed in his office, coming out at meal times and we never ate with him. Learnt our lesson the hard way twice already! And as for his mother, who the hell cared where she spent her day! In an ideal world, I should learn about the clan from her, learn about her duties so that I can master them when I grow older and assume the role myself, but I would not. I have my own mother, the perfect alpha queen, to learn from. And when time will come, I
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. Mom’s words kept on echoing in my head for two whole days… and I still could not comprehend what to do about them. I really did not wish Nash to not respect his parents… whatever they maybe, they were his parents! Nash was due to return the next day, and I was all excited too. I have been missing him terribly. And as he had been so damn busy in Australian summit that we hardly had time to talk, and not to mention the time difference. And oh, the summit was perfectly safe and all the rumours about danger were just that, rumours. Anyway, if he were busy, I cannot believe he could be busier than I was. When I had arrived, mom and dad had announced that I would now be moving to India permanently to be with Nash. Which was expected, duh! And many people had already assumed that I had moved because I had not come back for whole forty days… But still, there were a lot of people in our house, which was in truth a town in itself, and my three days here were spent meeting an
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I landed twelve hours later and found only two cars waiting for me… Okay, so everyone must be searching for Devi and Myra then. When I arrived home, I was met with an eerie silence. I walked up and found Nash’s mother in a devastated state and Nash’s father was nowhere to be seen. “Where is the alpha?” I asked Nash’s mother. She just shook her head and placed her head on the table, crying. A few women approached her and started to console her again. “I am here to help, where is the alpha?” I demanded. But she did not reply. Another woman, whom I suspected, but was never introduced to, as beta female said, “He is away.” “Where?” I demanded. “Back to that bar,” Nash’s mother sobbed harshly. Damn it! I ran outside, and changed into my fighting gear. But considering my fighting gear was nothing but fitting leggings and very tight shirt, so no one can grab hold of these clothes to put me down, I put on a loose t-shirt over it. I also tied my hair in a v
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “Claws…” Nash’s father fell on to the floor in shock. “They are my baby’s claws.” I was surprised. Faye did not sense anything regarding Devi or Myra in that box. I took the box from Nash’s father’s hands and felt repulsed immediately. Who the fuck does that? Who was so cruel to – to – Faye growled in my head at the sight of pulled out claws. But did not transform again. I sniffed, and stared at crumpled form of Nash’s father. “Did you catch a familiar scent from these, Alpha?” I asked sceptically. “My baby!” he choked. “No, these do not belong to either Devi or Myra,” I assured him. And he looked up at me hopefully. “Devi and Myra were tied up in that room but that room is devoid of any other wolf’s scent. Humans, yes, but no wolves… and these,” I pointed at the box, “don’t belong to either girl.” Nash’s father stood up and nodded. “Then we must leave this place…” Nash’s father spoke, totally unabashed. I nodded and followed him. But then his secu
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “We have informed the princes about this and they are also re-routing towards Kashid,” the man beside the driver informed me. Both my mate and my brother were in the city but none had mind linked me. I had tried to establish contact but none allowed. Why? Were they avoiding me to keep me safe or were they so damn busy that they had their minds closed to any outside distraction. Hoping for the latter, I focused on the situation on hand. And what a situation it was! I wanted to be with Nash and Jared. Discuss strategy with them, but I didn’t know where they were, and I did not wish to leave Nash’s father alone right now. “If we find my daughter,” Nash’s father started. “We will kill everyone who took her, yes,” I nodded. He looked at me for a fleeting second, as if assessing me if I had the stomach to digest cold blooded murder, but then he nodded. “Kashid is how big?” I asked. “Not that big,” Nash’s father informed me. “So, they will see us coming,” I t
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “I am not surprised that we don’t have any wolves here,” I spoke as I stared around. Beggars, hawkers, and many random people were littered around the city. “How do we even find our princess?” the driver asked. But then alpha opened his eyes and spoke, “No, I cannot locate or contact either of the girls.” I sighed. I had not expected it, but I would not lie that I was not disappointed. “We are at least in the right city!” the security guard pointed. But then suddenly, the alpha exclaimed. He exclaimed so loudly that the driver almost lost control of the car and I jumped at least two feet in the air, banging my head on the side. “What happened?” I demanded, clutching my head. “The bar,” he spoke. “Where we left the money?” I asked. “Yes, it is gone…” he whispered. “Gone? As in?” I asked suspiciously. “There was a blast in it, and it is totally ablaze… two of our men standing outside are dead!” he whispered sadly. “Why would they blast half a mil
Three years later. The stage was set, and the ceremonies were done. Well, at least the ones for which humans were invited as well. And now was the time to perform the most important ceremony of all… and now only the wolves remained! And among those were Nash’s family – immediate and extended, my parents, grandparents, my brothers and sisters, Dr Serena, Rhea and Taron uncle’s family."Why are so many bollywood actors here?" I asked Devi as we all sat in our seats, staring expectantly at the stage, where Nash's father was standing."They all are wolves, did you not know?" Devi grinned. "Dad let's them use their charm to get popular and stuff. Helps keep control," she winked."Wow! Isn't it like dangerous? What if they lose control?" I was shocked."Well," Devi shrugged. "Nothing super dangerous has happened so far..."I was about to ask her what has happened so far, but Nash's father cleared his throat and I looked up ahead.“I am your Alpha,” Nash’s father spoke to the assembled crowd
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.“You maybe too modern, Jayden to not care, but I am not… so for you new dad’s sake, put this shirt on,” he spoke without even looking at me. “I also want to see what he is saying, and for that, you need this!”And I smiled at Nash’s father’s words and put on the shirt. And he finally looked in our direction.“Who hired you to kidnap Devi?” I demanded as he certainly cannot be a mastermind behind all this.“One look, please,” and he hissed.“Are you a vampire?” I asked, confused.“He is in the sun,” Jared muttered.But then who was he?“He is a human,” Nash muttered. “He was not affected by wolfsbane, and he is not affected by sun!”“He is stupid, Jayden,” Myra spoke from her spot. “Very stupid. He was taking orders from someone else… we could not hear because our wolves are dormant, but he has been saying and doing whatever the man on the phone was saying!”And at this, Jared searched the man’s pocket and pulled out his phone.“A temporary phone,” Jared informed as he
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. Putting down first four was no problem. Jared and I were unmatched fighters, and those who know about us, would not dare face us. But I guess these men did not know about us, because they did fight, no, they tried to fight and well, now they are dead! We climbed to the second floor and instead of two men as Nash told us, we found three, but no issues, they were dealt with as well. But as the third one caught us by surprise, it was thrown down two floors with loud clattering sound and thuds. And it rendered all the occupants of the top floor quiet. ‘Fuck!’ Jared swore in my head. ‘Well,’ I sighed as we looked up, and saw two men looking down at us. They yelled and started climbing down stairs in anger. ‘Let them come,’ I spoke to Jared who took his stance to fight. And the moment the men approached us, I used my inhuman speed and pushed them down two floors, and they went tumbling down with another thud... Jared twisted his mouth and looked down at their crumpled
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. ‘Worse,’ Nash’s father whispered. ‘They want you to come out or they will rape and kill Devi in front of my own eyes.’ I halted for a moment as Devi’s happy face flashed in front of my eyes. ‘I am coming in,’ I spoke determinedly. I could sense Jared’s and Nash’s retort coming but it was Nash’s father who spoke first, ‘NO!’ he thundered. ‘Whatever may happen, I will not trade one daughter for another… this is not how things are done in my family!’ And my heart thudded. ‘Daughter?’ I whispered to myself. ‘You may consider me a devil, Jayden, but I do consider you as my daughter. I may not love you as much your parents love you, or I love Devi, please excuse that but you just came in my life, but you are my daughter. Always remember that…’ And my eyes welled. ‘Not the time to get emotional,’ Faye barked in my head. ‘Or have you forgotten what that man said about you?’ ‘What did he say about you?’ Nash and Jared demanded. ‘Later!’ I hissed. ‘Focus!’ ‘
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. ‘Jayden… Jayden…’ both Nash and Jared were growling in my head. ‘Stop distracting me, and Nash, link me to your dad so I know what shit is unfurling inside…’ I ordered. ‘I am going to kill you woman,’ Nash growled. ‘First, let me become a woman,’ I laughed but then I heard Nash’s dad’s voice in my head too. ‘Where are you, Avinash?’ Nash’s father asked. ‘Very close,’ Nash informed. ‘How many men inside, alpha,’ I asked as I crouched low in the shed. ‘Half a dozen,’ Nash’s father was not at all surprised that I had linked to him like this. ‘Weapons?’ I asked as I looked back, and found a man snoozing in the shed. ‘Guns, grenades, automatics, these men are prepared to eradicate us,’ Nash’s father informed. ‘Not if we kill them first, isn’t it?’ I spoke as I crept over to the sleeping men and spoke, ‘hold on to the line, Nash…’ and I snapped the neck of the sleeping men in a heartbeat. ‘One down,’ I spoke with a smile as I looked around. There were
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I was contemplating how to go about the situation when a voice boomed in my head. ‘Don’t you dare!’ It was Jared. ‘Oh, you are awake,’ I replied sarcastically. ‘Jay, no…’ he added. ‘We are not even fifteen minutes out, wait for us…’ he ordered. ‘Where are you?’ I demanded as I felt rather weird through this mind link. ‘You will see,’ Jared informed, and I checked the skies. I hope they were not coming via chopper because that will announce our arrival. ‘This is normal, Jar,’ I sighed. ‘I can take them out…’ “She is not listening,” Jared shouted out loud, almost making me jump. ‘Jayden,’ now Nash’s voice boomed in my head. ‘Great, so you are awake too,’ and I connected him to my link with Jared. ‘We are not even ten minutes out,’ Nash spoke. ‘Covered five minutes distance in few seconds, are you guys flying?’ I snorted. ‘Something of the sort,’ Jared spoke and this time I did peer towards the sky. ‘Jay, remember your promise to dad. You will n
