Hello my beautiful readers, my most sincere apologies for missing out on posting for so many days. But I had something incredibly unavoidable at home, with one thing and another, but now, I am back… with full force. I wanted to restart this book only when I was sure I would finish it. And this time, I will finish it. I will now post at least 2, and if possible 3 chapters per day. That is a promise. So, here is hoping you will enjoy the story. Much love, Trisha
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I grumbled as I walked ahead of Nash, knowing all too well that he was walking beside me. Why was dad so difficult and arrogant? Did he not know how I felt for him? Okay, so he invited Nash to our home because he was my fated, but did he have to bring him in our own building? Could he not have stayed in any other building!!! ‘As if you would have liked it,’ Faye snapped in my head but I chose to ignore her. She has been very moody off late, not that I blame her… There were two choices for me to put him. I could put him in the room on my floor, but that would mean Jared’s floor too… or I could put him in a room above mine. Feeling some distance would be great, I led him upstairs, to the top floor and opened a door for him. “Here,” I spoke as I crossed my arms over my dad’s coat and looked sideways. He sighed and walked inside. He placed his bag on the bed and walked up to the balcony to witness the breathtaking beauty of our country. “Where is the rest of
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.I knocked and entered. Nash was lying on his stomach on his bed, face down. He was shirt less and I could see the edges of a tattoo on his right shoulder.“Umm… Nash,” I called out softly.But he did not reply. He did not even move. He must be in very deep asleep. I was about to turn and go back when my dad’s voice boomed in my head.‘Do not come back without him,’ my dad ordered sternly.And I groaned.Slowly, I walked up to him and saw the incredible tattoo on his shoulder. It was a flaming sun with symbol of ‘Om’ etched inside it. I licked my lips as I controlled my urge to touch it.“Nash,” I called out a little loudly now.But he did not budge.How deeply does he sleep? I wondered!“Nash…” I called again. And yet again, no movement.I bent to shake him but decided otherwise. Instead, I prodded his thigh with my foot. I could not even move him.“Nash…” I spoke again.Was he feigning it?Feeling defeated, and obliged to fulfil my alpha’s direct order, I touched him.
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.I rushed downstairs and informed my parents and Jared that apparently Nash was deep asleep, and when I woke him up, he said he takes his lunch around 4.Everyone was surprised but did not comment. My dad did give my face a long scrutinizing look, but I did not meet his eyes. I did not know what or how I felt. He kissed me, so fiercely that my body was still tingling by his touch. His touch made me long for so much more... I could feel his entire body on top of me, his perfect chest, his stomach brushing against my own... but then… then… he was dreaming of his other girls. He mistook me for someone else and pulled me in his arms because he was thinking of other girls! He was thinking of Clarice...The spoon with which was I was eating dropped with a clatter as an image of naked Nash wrapped around that slut Clarice etched in front of my eyes.“Are you okay, Jay?” my mom asked with a grave concern on her face.I just shook my head.“You both,” my mom pointed at my dad and
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.Mom turned a deep shade of magenta and even dad looked a bit smitten. God those two are so hormonal around each other.“What?” mom looked a bit confounded, but then she added, “ah, yes… I was saying…”“Have we considered what stressed her out so much that she ran away, despite me warning her against that?” Jared growled in my direction.“You warned her against running away?” mom demanded. “You knew she was at flight risk?”Jared did not reply to this, instead he looked at dad, who also just shrugged.“Oh my moon! So, you both already know what was wrong with her and neither of you bothered to share it with me…?” mom glared as she deduced their expressions. “So, as it turns out, I guess only I am the one in the dark here.”“Fine…” mom waited but when no one answered, she sighed. “But either of you men ever stop and considered what she went through when she was surrounded by those men?”“I was fine, mom,” I groaned. But was I really fine? I sometimes still got nightmares
NASH’S P.O.V.I had never been so stressed out... well, I was when she ran away back in Switzerland, but not since then. She mentioned Clarice and rushed out of my room. Even last time, it was because of Clarice that she had run away and put herself in such grave danger. Why is this bloody Clarice again coming back to haunt my relationship with my perfect and beautiful mate? I cursed internally.I was almost down the stairs when I heard her mother who had just started to scold her father and brother. And deep down I felt a savage pleasure that her brother, bloody Jared La Gualias, was getting put down in his place, even if by his mother!“Everyone, including you, were focusing on your surroundings, on your fighting skills, which I never doubted in you, but I was focusing on your feelings. Your feelings, Jay… and I knew you were scared…” her mother spoke and I knew what she meant. Because somehow, due to my connection with princess, I also was tapped into her emotions. I could sense her
NASH’S P.O.V.“What?” I blanched. “How do you even know?”“All tell-tale signs are there,” Luna Kira grinned. "And I am her mother!" she finished.I was astonished. She was an incredibly wise woman and I now I could see how she was able to tame down an alpha like Dimitri La Gualias.“You have hurt her, I know! Deeply too… alpha males have tendencies to hurt their fated mates, I have witnessed it first hand and quite often too…” and instinctively, she rubbed her neck and face.And I wondered why! Was Alpha Dimitri an abusive man?“Anyway,” Luna Kira continued, “fated or not, you will not hurt her physically. You will learn to calm yourself and reign your temper with her. Because believe me this much, she may be charmed for now under this new mating bond, but she would kick your ass once she is, you know, used to it,” and she shrugged.My eyebrows hitched at this.Alpha Dimitri came out too with Jared. And while Jared left by giving a nod in my direction, Alpha Dimitri wrapped his hand a
NASH’S P.O.V. I don’t know whether to be offended or feel proud when they said princess would definitely beat me… but considering they are talking about my mate, I should be proud, right! ‘Of course,’ Zues growled in my head. ‘Let’s go and see how well our mate fights…’ and without my own volition, Zues pushed me forward and literally dragged my feet towards the place that her scent was leading us to. Loud fighting noises were issuing from a field nearby and I saw princess fighting there. She had two large sticks in her hands and was fighting four girls at a time. Wow! My mind screamed, or was it Zues… Her hair was tied up in a tight pony tail, she was wearing a rather fitting sports bra and very tight pants. Her abs were perfectly visible from where I stood, and I could see her strong muscles do the job as she dodged one attack after another. Her skin, pearly white skin, was shining with tiny beads of sweat that was protruding from her pores and every inch of me was dying to l
NASH’S P.O.V. The closer Maia got to me, the deeper princess’s frown got. “Hey, I don’t think we have been introduced,” the girl spoke as she stood quite close to me and twirled her hair. “Umm…” I spoke as I shifted sideways and ran to my princess to protect me… I cannot believe I just thought that. But true… I needed her to protect me from these vixen type girls. “If these girls and that boy will not fight you, I will fight with you,” I spoke as I stood behind my princess to use her as my shield. The girl Maia looked offended even more now. But she recovered pretty quickly. “You know, she is not allowed to fight with boys,” Maia huffed as she batted her lashes at me. “Or should I say, no boy is allowed to touch her…” she pouted. I just blinked at her as she again tried to bridge the gap between us. “But we don’t have any such boundaries or limitations, why don’t you fight with me… I mean us…” and Maia pointed at the other girls. Princess gave a stern look at Maia but
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
