After Raihan was gone from the bar that night, Saikus smirked and headed towards the bartender. “So?” Upon reaching the seat he turned his head after ordering a shot for himself. “How did the chat go with him?” Joselyn smiled at him and leaned in, she licked Saikus’ ear seductively. “As usual. Raihan is still bitter and didn’t say anything when he was going to make the news public.” Joselyn pouted and leaned against the marbled shelf. Lifting her one leg she placed it over Saikus’ thighs. Twirling her hair locks the woman looked at him while biting her lower lip.“Don’t worry, I am certain he will be forced to take you as his mate soon. Dad is adamant on crowning him as the next alpha. And the only way to receive the position is to keep a clean slate of reputation. Raihan believes the child belongs to him, he will do everything in his hands to be the next alpha.” “It doesn’t matter how much he dislikes you. Raihan still has to accept you if he wants to be the next one in power.” He
The next day all of them had to attend college, each one of them had their own worries. On the dining table they all sat silent in the awkward encounter. Raihan tried hard to ignore everything, Sahan and Zuhan continuously attempted to cheer up Lana. They knew it would be a hectic day for her after the incident. “Don’t worry about anyone, okay?” Sahan made the remark while patting over her shoulder. Whereas, Zuhan took her to the car and they all drove in silence. For some reason Raihan grew anxious and suspicious at the same time, when he could not smell her scent. Since he had driven Lana away emotionally, it hindered him from sniffing her scent. Dropping Lana on the gate, Raihan went to park the vehicle. While Sahan and Zuhan covered her from both sides. Heading towards the block everyone’s eyes were on them. It was not a usual thing for the triplets to favour anyone, especially a woman. Though nobody had any clue who Lana was. Halting outside Lana’s class, Zuhan head patted her
Lana returned to her class and attended the lecture. Later on, she headed towards the bathroom, for some reason Lana left the bag in the class. Looking up at the sign she walked inside, whereas around the corner of the same arcade; Priscilla stood there holding the sign of male restroom.“What the heck, girl?” A junior shouted in shock and immediately stepped backwards. Knowing the strict restrictions of not pulling such pranks, the guys in the restroom were stunned. “Who are you, kid?” Another guy came forward and hovered over Lana due to their height difference.“I…I am sorry.” Haphazardly after looking around she realised about entering the wrong restroom. Lana turned around to run when the same man named Khal blocked her escape. Snickering at her his eyes glowed red and fangs grew. Khal snarled at Lana who stepped backwards in fright.Rest of the guys surrounded her while Lana’s breath hitched. She was trapped in the men's restroom among thirsty guys. “Where do you think you are g
Lana ran towards the wrong arcade when she accidentally entered the under construction wing. Crying out loud she yelled in the midst of the courtyard. Tears crawling down her cheek while Khal’s bitten spot burnt slightly. There were three storey buildings around her on each side while she stood in the middle.“Why? Why is everyone against me here?” Muddling to herself with one hand clenching the neckline. Lana slumped in the courtyard on the mud as the tears got lost in the sand. After crying her heart out she stood up and turned around. “Wha-!” She could not understand when Lars appeared there.He covered her mouth with one hand and hugged Lana. slipped his hand around her waist, pulling closer he traced her back. “It is okay, Lana.” Patting the back Lars allowed her to cry once again. In that position, his eyes glowed crimson which Lana could not see. Lars was angry over Khal’s mark as he could sense it.Pushing her a bit holding shoulders, Lars held her face in both hands and wiped
“I…” Zuhan tried to say something but Valeria stopped him. “What are you hiding from me, Zuhan? What has happened to her? Why is there a mark on her neck?” She approached Zuhan and grabbed his collars. Meanwhile, Zuhan placed his hand over hers and spoke without raising his voice.“Please, mom.” Somehow Zuhan called Valeria as mother which shook her by utter shock. He sighed and hesitated before speaking, but things had to be said. “The mark has been lifted, there is no need to worry about that. Svetlana is fine, mom. I will ask dad to handle the rest of the stuff.”Valeria glanced at him as Zuhan patted over her hand. “Trust me, mom. Everything is fine.” Zuhan slipped his arm over her shoulder and hugged Valeria. “We will not allow anything to hurt, Lna. we all are here by her side to support and care for her.” He assured Valeria who sniffled in his chest.“You should stay by her side, Lana will wake up soon.” Zuhan held Valeria’s cheek and wiped off her tears. She nodded and touched
The next day Lana finally woke up and was nursed back to health by her mother. Valeria stood by her side all the time and made sure she was alright. She did not inform Lana about Zuhan and the mate thing yet. Meanwhile, that night Zuhan crept into her room and silently sat near her bed.Svetlana was sound asleep and he crouched down near her bed. “I won’t let anyone hurt you anymore, Lana. This is the last time you have gotten into this state. I promise you, Svetlana. I will protect you from everyone and everything.” Muddling to her in the sleep, Zuhan walked out of the room.Raihan wanted to find some way to discard her but now Alpha Zaro had closed that door too. After Zuhan walked out of the room, Raihan stood there watching Lana. Clenching the fists he wanted to sabotage their mating ceremony. But now with Lana's birthday attached to that date, Raihan’s intentions failed.The day finally came and alpha Zaro along with her own mother made Lana aware of the matters. “This is the lea
“What nonsense?” Alpha Zaro yelled in anger, deep down he was equally confused as to what was happening. “Are you in your sane mind, Asher?” He addressed him by the first name excluding the titles. Alpha Zaro did not want Lana to be mated to anyone else other than any of his sons.Meanwhile, Svetlana found herself being trapped in the midst of another tricky situation. She was well aware of her tussle with Alpha Asher. Assuming that he was going to take revenge from her, she didn’t want to go with him. Lana looked at Zuhan with pleading eyes, shaking her head in fear.“You can’t be serious, Alpha Asher!?” This time Zuhan spoke when Svetlana held his arm closely and hid behind him. Zuhan covered her, indicating that he was not going to give her to anyone. “I have felt the mate bond with her. She is mine.” He informed Asher, asserting his claim.On the other hand, Sahan and Raihan kept quiet knowing that the situation was tense. They both wanted to make sure that their father would sett
Everyone was confused as hell as to what was happening. Alpha Zaro had already announced some series of competitions. All the alphas who were present there and absent were allowed to participate. Whereas, the triplets were equally confused as to why their father would propose such an absurd thing. “Every participant would stay in my pack in the allotted villas. The next announcement shall be done soon regarding the competitions. Enjoy the party, ladies and gentlemen.” Alpha Zaro reached for the glass and raised it. The loud chattering began in the backyard when he asked Zuhan to bring Lana inside.“Honey, what did you do?” Valeria questioned her husband when they all walked inside his study. “I had no other option, Val. You saw how that bastard was threatening me publicly.” Alpha Zaro spoke while raking through his hair in anger. The situation had already gotten out of hand.“I know this is all a plan of Mace, now that she has Luna's position. It is easier for her to avenge his son f
“Shh…it is alright.” Raihan held her face and tried to calm her down. “I am glad that you came here, at least no one can harm you here.” Looking into her eyes intensely, Raihan was elated that she was under his roof. The idea of Lana being harmed and harassed had already left him uncomfortable. “It doesn’t matter anymore whether you wanted us or not. Now you have no way out, haha. You are already mine.” Raihan smiled after a soft encouraging chuckle. He wanted to convey to her the utter realisation that at least he wasn’t going to leave her. “Don’t worry about anything, alright? I am here, your mess is mine now.” She nodded blankly seeing him convincing her. Svetlana didn’t wait for him to say anything further, leaping further she hugged him. “Rest well. You must be tired after stressing out.” He meaningfully winked at her. Svetlana smacked over his shoulder playfully while pouting. “You pervert!” Raihan sneered and chuckled at her, pulling her closer from wrist. “For you.” Replying
Her moans were getting louder while Raihan’s excitement filled the whole atmosphere. Lana was unable to keep herself in the spot while Raihan held her thighs. Seeing her making faces out of ecstasy satisfied him. Somewhere deep down Raihan was elated that he was the first one to get into her panties. With a loud growl he released inside her but didn’t pull out. “That was—damn!” Raihan chuckled softly while still holding her from butt. Whereas, Lana was exhausted and slumped over his shoulder carelessly. “Aww, love~” Making a loving pout, he scooped her and carried Lana to the bed. It was the moment when he noticed the marks on her back. Svetlana supported her arms around his shoulders while breathing heavily. Sitting on the bed while still being inside her, Raihan traced his fingers over those marks. “No–” Lana reflexively ebbed in horror with a yell, staring intensely in his eyes with hesitation. Raihan extended his arm to touch her cheek but Lana shrugged off his hand. “It’s alrig
Lana and Raihan laid on the carpeted floor with a white bed sheet over their bodies. Both of them stared at the ceiling without making eye contact. “That was—amazing.” Svetlana glanced at him only to see Raihan’s torso naked. The sweat beads over his forehead made him appear more handsome. Reflexively she extended her hand to touch his face when Raihan shifted his gaze. Holding her wrist while looking at him, Lana was caught off the guard. “I–I was just–” She couldn’t generate an excuse immediately. Raihan could see her flushed expressions knowing she was shy about whatever happened. “Admiring my looks?” Raihan bluntly spoke with a smirk as he turned over on his arm. Pulling her wrist with force, Lana’s breasts and hand landed over his torso. “You know–” He resumed, releasing her wrist, Raihan extended his hand and toyed with her hair lock. “You could admire me closely, all you want.”Svetlana could feel her heart getting out of control. She didn’t want to admit that he could move he
“Hushh, it will hurt when the wolf will bite.” It took a moment for Lana to actually get what he meant. A visible blush appeared over her cheeks as she averted her gaze. Raihan was amused by her sudden switch of behaviour and it aroused him even more. Smirking at her, reaching for her cheek, Raihan made Lana look at him forcefully. “Look me in the eyes when I am talking to you, Svetlana.” His tone wasn’t harsh like usual, instead it moved Lana’s heart. Raihan was now handling her gently like a blooming delicate rose. Svetlana could feel her body getting heated up, her heart beating in the ears along with Raihan’s fast heartbeat. He leaned in further with his lips barely touching hers. Lana’s irregular breath fell over his face making Raihan feel his dick getting hard. “Always look at me when I am feeling you under me.” Raihan’s whisper made her feel the wetness. Slipping his one hand down while the other rested on the carpet near her head. Svetlana laid under his silhouette with her
Lana couldn’t take it anymore, ebbing as she ran towards her room. It was hard for her to swallow that she was some prize. All her life she craved for attention, to be valued, to feel important. But this was not what Lana desired in any way. Leaving the pack was already in her plan, being trapped like a trophy was not in her checklist. Everything came down crashing for her as she didn’t want to stay. Things had started to make sense which made her hands tremble and steps to stumble. Somehow Svetlana reached her room and closed the door.“How could he do this to me? I thought he genuinely was concerned about me.” Slumping in the bed, Lana threw a pillow in anger. “My goodness! How could I be so naive to think that anyone here is actually my family?” Placing her palms on the bed, clutching the bedsheet in rage. Svetlana stood up and wandered, seeing the vase on the table. She picked it up and threw it to ventilate her anger. However, Raihan grabbed it using his sharp senses after enteri
[Svetlana’s pov]Ever since I had stepped in the Dark Stone pack my life had undergone a serious change. Having no idea why I was being targeted by every single person. It wasn’t even that I had some kind of liking towards the triplets. well, until recently but that too Zuhan was the only one I was interested in. At first it was Joselyn for assuming my curiosity in Raihan, her fiance. Later on, Priscilla also joined because she believed every single woman around them was her enemy. Somehow my luck, nature, fate whatever you call it, dealt with both. Until Asher joined the picture and didn’t leave my poor ass alone. Why did he have to lie about feeling the mate bond? That still raised the question in my head whether the triplets sensed it too or not. Nonetheless, upon finding that all three of them felt the bond. Alpha Zaro announced about picking only one guy. How was I supposed to pick one when Raihan was waiting to wring my neck?However, that’s when I decided about picking him due
After everyone was done with the dinner, Alpha Zaro and his Luna headed towards the rooftop for stargazing. Alpha Asher and his mother, Luna Mace, stayed there for some chit chat. Raihan went to his room to slip into a tracksuit as he was going for a run. Lars already wanted to sleep just like Sahan, who was the first one to leave the table. Meanwhile, Zuhan and Lana strolled towards the front side.Cool breeze brushed past them making both push the worries behind. “I am sorry about what Raihan said earlier.” Lana spoke in a shallow tone with her head lowered. There was utter hesitation and shame in her body language. Zuhan stopped his walk and head patted her. “There is nothing to be sorry about, Lana. He is my brother and I know what he means. You don’t have to feel guilty for his actions.” Lana was unsure what to say and react to his reassurance. However, she smiled at his remark and attempted to clear her position. “But still that was rude. And all three of you are now in front o
“Then what do you even want? Why are you acting weirdly now after setting everything up?” Lana confronted him while Raihan was holding her wrists. He had a lot to say but didn’t know if it was the right time to begin with. “Is there something on your mind? Do you want to do things in some other way?” Raihan shook his head and stepped back, releasing her hands he growled at Lana. Something was wrong with him.“No, everything is fine. You don’t have to overthink.” He spoke and stepped towards the window. Raihan’s gaze darted to the afternoon sky as he sighed. “As I said you have my word, I won’t back off from my decision. It doesn’t matter what the trials are and whomever is going to participate. You will pick me and I will assure it won't look like planned.” Raking through his hair, Raihan headed to the door. Svetlana could not comprehend the reason for his weird antics. In her head he was acting oddly for some hidden reason. Because there was no way Raihan could be in love with her.
Reaching the resort, Svetlana and others descended the vehicle. Everyone took their bags while Asher picked up and dropped hers on the ground. Raihan was right behind him and smacked Asher, who in turn grabbed his shirt. “Hey, hey!” Both of them were holding each other by the neck when Lars tried to truce. “Easy there, guys.” Raihan jerked Asher away when Lars smiled and patted his shoulder. It wasn’t like Lars had any liking towards Raihan suddenly. He was just amazed at his switch of attitude for Lana and the matters revolving around her. Asher dashed inside while intentionally glaring at Lana who stood beside them. It was the moment when Raihan blocked his vision by coming to the front. Meanwhile, Lars and the other two guys enjoyed the whole matter. Raihan was being protective over her. Strange. As soon as Asher headed inside, Raihan threw an angry glare at Lars. The royal blood vampire raised his both hands in the air and stepped away. Bending over Raihan picked up her bag, wor
