Hey, my apologies again for keeping you waiting. But here I am, starting writing again. Hope you enjoy the book. please do share how you are finding it :) Love from Trisha
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I stared in horror as dad moved forward towards Nash. The calm with which he was moving, I knew he was deadly angry. And I was wondering why was Nash rooted to the ground and not fleeing for his life. Even mom was stunned. My eyes fell on dad’s hands, his claws were extending, and I knew Adler, my dad’s wolf who was way way too dangerous and out of control, was taking charge. He was going to kill Nash, and it would be… well, war and all aside, I could not let Nash die! ‘Do something, save our mate,’ Faye cried as she pushed so hard in my head that my limbs moved automatically. “Dad,” I ran to him to stand in between them. Dad’s eyes were charcoal black now and I was sure Adler was taking control, or hell, he was already in control. “He did not grope me,” I started. But dad did not budge. “Dad!” I repeated a little too loudly. “Dad, you cannot hurt him. Do you think I would have brought him to my room if he had molested me?” I asked. “HE DID NOT HURT ME!” I shou
NASH’S P.O.V. For a moment I was rooted to the ground. When she had started speaking “I, Jayden Esperanza Whitaker La Gualias, alpha princess of La Gualias clan, reject you, Avinash Singh Randhawa, alpha prince of Shakti clan –” It was Jared’s exclaim and Devi’s gasp that forced me to register what she was saying. Fuck! She was rejecting me. She was breaking our bond. And in one long stride I was ramming into her, clasping her mouth, her such beautiful mouth with my lips. But she still tried to finish. “FAT—” she tried to mumble but I squeezed my palm on her hand. “No,” I whispered, trying very hard to control my temper. “I won’t let you reject me.” What was wrong with her? Was I so bad that she won’t even give me, us, a chance? She was glaring at me. Her look was so angry that it took all of my will power to not flinch. What the fuck was wrong with these La Gualias clan? I was practically shivering in presence of her father, alpha Dimitri La Gualias. However, I never felt that way
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I was barely registering what he was saying. He was trying to explain, I guess… but ever since I had felt his erection against my body, I was numb. I was trying so damn hard to not feel aroused, but it was getting difficult. I have never been touched like this, hell, I have never been touched by anyone except for Jake – and he was my trainer and already fated male! So, yeah, I was screwed! “Please don’t do that, your brother is here,” Nash spoke with such naughty grin that it took me a moment to register what he was saying! And while I did not take in what he meant instantly, his erection hardened against my body and I knew what he meant. He meant I was arousing him by moving! Well, if I was arousing him then he should step back! Nash spoke for a while, and it was all fazed out for me. Honestly, I could not hear a word except for his loud beating heart against my own chest, my own thudding heart, and… and… his unsteady deep breath that was swirling all around me, mak
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. If I had a mind link with Nash, I would have connected with him. But as it turns out, I don’t even have his phone number, so I went to bed solemnly. Damn it, no wonder he was feeling so sad. I had fazed out when he had explained himself. Fuck! But I would make it right tomorrow morning. But as it turns out, my morning did not happen until noon. I don’t know why but maybe the toll of last night made me stay in bed. Or maybe it was because I went to bed around 4 in the morning, after everything that went through. I stumbled out of bed, and asked Jared what was happening. ‘Mom and dad in council meetings, I am in bed,’ his groggy voice came through in my head. Okay! So I quickly showered, got dressed in the first thing I could find, black slacks and olive green t-shirt and went out. I did not know where he was staying but I used my nose to find him… and within minutes I was standing out of a door where his smell was most potent. And also of another person! A rather
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I ran to my room, tears flowing nonstop. I have to get out of here, like right now. I cannot stand Nash’s charade anymore. But Jared was instantly there. Why the fuck was he always there? “Now what happened?” he asked in an unsufferable tone. But I did not respond. I just kept on packing my stuff. “Jay,” he spoke in a much higher tone, but I did not stop. I had no idea my things were spread throughout the room and bathroom in a day! Damn it…! I just shoved everything in my bag, and then closed it. “I am going,” I sighed as I finally looked at him. “I can tell as much, but where are you going?” he demanded. “I will be at the tarmac when it is time to fly out, but I am leaving, like right now!” I spoke. But Jared was right in front of me. “No!” he spoke so sternly that I glared at him. “You are not going anywhere, you are Jayden Esperanza Whitaker La Gualias, do you have any idea how many alphas in here will be willing to kidnap you for ransom or worse?” he as
NASH’S P.O.V.“What are you doing?” Alpha Dimitri asked me. “Do you have death wish, boy?” he thundered.I just stared at him in defiance.“Dad,” Jared started but Alpha Dimitri just raised his hand.“Last night you were fighting my daughter, today my son. Are you hell bent on making La Gualias clan your enemy?” Alpha Dimitri continued.And I snorted. So loudly that his brows furrowed.“Dad,” Jared growled this time, gaining his father’s attention. “Jay…” he spoke.And something went on between the duo and Alpha Dimitri rushed into Jayden’s room and checked it.“Holy fuck!” Alpha Dimitri shouted loudly, so loudly that everyone quivered.“Boy!” Alpha Dimitri called from inside. And I knew he meant me.“Can I go in now?” I asked the security people who were still eyeing me suspiciously.“BOY!” Alpha Dimitri thundered now, and the security just jumped aside.The moment I was in the room, Alpha Dimitri grabbed my collar and pushed me against the wall. I could see his eyes clearly, and his
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.“Hey, yall!” the bartender shouted as I walked out. “Just leave the girl alone.”But they were not having it.When I stepped out, I realized that all these were bikers and they belonged to same gang. They all had a very typical kind of skull tattooed on their arms.‘Jay!’ Faye screamed in my head, trying to take control. But when I did not let her, she did something else. She opened my mind link.‘Jay,’ Jared’s, mom’s, dad’s, Aaron’s voices boomed in my head instantly.‘Damn it, Faye,’ I screeched in my head. ‘You had to open up the link to everyone together.’‘Where are you?’ dad’s super worried voice boomed in my head.‘Umm, I am somewhere, dad,’ I spoke as I stared at the men who were now almost circling me. ‘And believe me, I really need to concentrate right now.’“Come now, sugar, come with us,” one of the men spoke.‘Who is that?’ mom shouted, super scared.‘Umm… I am kind of busy, mom,’ I spoke, trying hard to see how best to defend myself.‘Where are you?’ dad’
NASH’S P.O.V.A few hours agoTo say I was scared was an understatement. The way Alpha Dimitri was sitting on princess’s bed, the bed on which I have fantasized ravishing my beautiful mate so damn often, that I quivered.‘Why did he send out Jared?’ Zues asked me. ‘Do you think we can take him?’ he added with hesitation.‘Don’t event think about it,’ I muttered back to Zues in my head. Was he fucking crazy? If the aura of this alpha was scaring the living shit out me, what would his true anger do?“I do not have whole day, boy,” Alpha Dimitri commanded. “My daughter has run away, something she has never done in her entire life.”He heaved a long sigh. I could tell he was controlling his temper.“Actually, out of all my children, Jay is the most sensible one. She is the most powerful one too, and truth be told, if Jared did not have that raw strength that comes with male genes, Jay would be stronger than him too,” Alpha Dimitri smirked and I could tell he was proud of his daughter. Hel
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
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
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. “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
