JAYDEN’S P.O.V.We have sixty dead and here I am, having sex. I felt disgusted with the thought itself.I quickly showered in Nash’s room, put on the clothes we had brought from my room and rushed downstairs to the main office.“There you are,” mom looked visibly worried and stressed.“Sorry, I was –” and I trailled off.“Busy is the right word, isn’t it!” mom spoke without a hint of smile as she put her focus back on the large map of Romania. Mom, dad, Taron uncle and Jared were already staring at it, while Aron was on laptop, working something out.“So, what happened exactly?” I asked.“We got information two hours ago that a pack of rogues have attacked the east side of Romania territory,” mom pointed at the map.“But that is not a no-man’s land, isn’t it?” I asked.“No, it is part of our territory, part of it falls in Ukraine and part is bordering Black Sea,” mom circled the area were the attack happened.I studied the map and worked with my family assembled there. The attack happe
NASH’S P.O.V.I didn’t know how long princess was going to be. But eight long hours, or was it even more than that, where she skipped all her meals is way too much.But these eight hours, without her company, and in anticipation of when she will show her beautiful face again, I realized something. I would not get a moment of peace with her in this entire house. And if I really wished to get to know my princess better, it has to be away from here.So, I decided to tell dad!I called him and he answered on the second ring.“Are you okay, Avinash?” was dad’s first question.And I don’t blame him. I have never called him until I was in deep shit and needed rescuing or support.“I am fine,” I replied.Silence!“Who is pregnant?” dad asked seriously and I blanched.Now this was new… Despite all my eccentricities, I have never knocked up any girl. I may not know a lot about things how pregnancies worked, but I very well knew how wolves sperm were super potent and how condoms very, incredibly
NASH’S P.O.V. “Dad, calm yourself,” I replied agitated. I have never heard dad swear, and here he was… cursing at the top of his voice just because I found my mate. To be honest, I felt insulted. “Calm myself?” dad bellowed. “Have you fucked her?” he demanded. “Oh, come on dad!” I started. “Have you?” dad stressed now. “No, not yet!” I sighed. “Good,” dad replied. I could tell he was pacing wildly. “Calm down dad, or you will get a heart attack,” I laughed casually. “Do you know what that girl is?” dad demanded. “Virgin by fuck and by touch,” I repeated his words. “Yeah! Yeah! I said that because I thought you were just goofing around, like always,” dad sighed. “Nash, she is not a normal girl!” “I know she is perfect,” I grinned. “And I want to bring her to India, you know for you to meet her and everyone. She can know about our culture, our country and all.” “Like hell you are,” dad snapped. “And stop grinning like a fool and come back. She is not the right fit for you. W
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. Nash looked epically testy when I found him in the training area. I was surprised to see him there, and I wondered did this boy do anything else at all? As I neared him, I saw he was training with Jake! My trainer Jake! “I thought you trained only with me…” I complained as I approached them. “That dad asked you to focus only on me…?” I teased. “Well, you and him are one, aren’t you guys?” Jake laughed as he corrected Nash’s posture and I stared at him. “His elbow angle is also not right,” I pointed to Jake and he adjusted that too. “How bad am I at this?” Nash asked seriously. Both Jake and I exchanged a look… then Jake spoke kindly, “You are not bad, sir, you just need a few corrections and be mindful of your open spots.” “That bad, huh!” Nash grunted. “No wonder dad was so pissed off…” “Your dad is pissed off?” I demanded. “Later,” Nash groaned as Jake patted his back and pushed him to stand straight. “Later it is… I need to find Misha anyway,” I spoke. Mis
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “If you think I will let any of my children go to a warzone, where likelihood of getting killed is super high, then you have not known your father, Jay. You may dictate whatever you like, but who will go and not go, is my command. And I command you –” and dad used his full alpha powers at the room at large, “that no one with last name La Gualias will step foot in Eastern European zone until this threat is passed.” Everyone cowered at dad’s orders, even Nash and Taron uncle. But I felt a wave of fear and anger rush within me. “And who will control the situation there?” I demanded. “Jay,” dad spoke kindly, “You are an incredible soldier, a brilliant leader and a passionate person… I know it kills you to not be in the thick of things when they go wrong. I know you need to be there, but my daughter…” But when I continued to growl quietly, he sighed and added, “I need you to be safe… Will you let Jared, Aron, your mom, Nash or me for that matter go there?” “It is diffe
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “World already knows that in hurting you, they can hurt two clans in one go, and now as the word would get out about you and Avinash, they would know that hurting one girl can cripple three biggest clans of the world. You, Jayden, have the burden of entire world’s economy on your shoulders… so now tell me, are you truly nothing?” dad finished, and he had tears in his eyes. My big, bad, super dangerous alpha dad had tears in his eyes… “Dad… I am sorry,” I choked too. “She is okay, Dimitri, she is our brave daughter, she is fine,” mom consoled dad as she took hold of him and he hugged her tightly to control himself. “I won’t go anywhere,” I spoke sombrely, “I promise, I won’t leave the house too if you don’t want me to…” “Of course you can leave the house, Jay, you are not a prisoner darling,” mom spoke simply. “But can I run point on the mission from here?” I asked my parents seriously. Dad inhaled deeply in mom’s arms and then pulled back. He rubbed his face roug
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. Nash looked totally unabashed when I shouted those words. It was as if he was expecting my outburst! He grinned naughtily, and without any further comment, he pinched my chin with in between his two fingers and moved to kiss me fully on the lips. I may have given in to the temptation, but a sudden burst of scream in my head forced me push him back. ‘Holy shit! Jay! Is that really you?’ It was Rhea, and she was shrieking in my head. Rhea was one of the decent girls in our pack, and the ones I trained with. She was actually good and kind of like my friend and one of the only few people who called me ‘Jay’ and not princess. And also, she, unlike others, was one of those who did not try to woe my mate… I looked around and we were actually in the thick of the house. We were surrounded by numerous buildings and many people were roaming around. My heart dropped with a jolt as I registered the number of building against which we were just standing, number 28. Building w
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.We were on top of a hill, a small but stunning hill and all around us were fairy lights. There was a small table in front of us and two very comfortable chairs next to it. On the table was an ice bucket in which a champagne bottle rested, and next to it were two champagne flutes.I walked up to the edge of the hill and down below was a deep valley. No one in their right minds would climb up from there.“Wow,” was all I could whisper.Nash wrapped his arms around my waist softly, and gently, very slowly, took a few steps back.“Let’s stay a little away from the ledge, we don’t want any accidental fall, now do we,” he spoke as he held me even tightly in his arms.“I am not stupid,” I rolled my eyes, thoroughly enjoying the view, ambience and company.“I know you are not, but I don’t want you to fall accidentally… I know what I am about to do to you will make you a bit jumpy,” he grinned as he made me turn to face. His words made me blush so hard.“Oh maa,” he exclaimed… “
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
