A heavy punching bag crashed to the floor, its impact resonating through the room. I moved to the next bag, my fists pounding into it with unbridled force. The gym on this floor of the pack house was typically a space for all pack members, but they had wisely abandoned it the moment they sensed their Alpha’s agitation through the pack’s line. It is obvious that no one should mess with a pissed-off Alpha while training.

The only sound filling the room was the forceful exhale escaping my lungs, so powerful that they disrupted the regular rhythm of my breathing. The sound amplified, reverberating off the walls in sync with the rhythmic thuds of my fists striking the bag.

THUD. THUD. THUD.

Steven stood before me, wearing a knowing smile. “Good afternoon, Alpha.”

“What’s so lovely about this afternoon?” I muttered, my irritation evident as I punched the bag again.

He chuckled, the sound light in the tension-laden air. “Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.”

    AaryaAfter my presentation, I reclined in my seat, taking a deep, calming breath. I turned towards Lea, and inquired, “How did it go? Did I manage to pull it off?”Lea’s eyes lit up, and she responded with uncontainable enthusiasm, “Pull it off? Girl, you totally rocked that presentation! Finally, we’re through with our last submission for the semester. Free at last.” She exhaled with a dramatic flourish.Relief washed over me and I responded, “Thanks, Lea. And now, onto the interview.”“Its tomorrow, right?” she asked, stuffing her face with french fries. This girl can eat. And the sad part is she doesn’t even get fat after eating so much! So unfair.“Tomorrow. I’m feeling both nervous and excited. Is that even possible? Honestly, I’m still amazed that I made it to the second round,” I admitted.Receiving that email from CMH Industries, notifying me of my selection for the internship opportunity, was an ecstatic moment. The email was like a ticket to a new world of possibilities, and

    XanderI reached my office, Alex and Sean trailing behind me. The moment they closed the door, I spun around, my frustration burning in my eyes as I glared at them. The weight of the recent surprise they had orchestrated was pressing on me, and I couldn’t hold back. “You could have warned me! How did you expect me to control Xyler? I nearly lost it right in front of humans.” I rubbed my forehead with my index finger and thumb, slumping in my chair.Sean raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his voice softening, “I’m sorry, man. It was meant to be a surprise. I know you’ve been going through a lot.” His eyes grew soft with the recall of the hardship I have been living through these past few days.I let out a sigh, my shoulders sagging as the tension began to ebb away. “It’s fine. At least she’ll be closer now. That is the only thing keeping my jackass of a wolf at bay.”‘Hi, I take offense to that,’ Xyler growled, voice tinged with offense.‘You do not even. I am really mad at you

    AaryaAs I reached my floor, I was greeted by an anxious-looking David pacing near the reception desk.“Hi, David. Is everything OK? Why do you look so... for lack of a better word... constipated?” I raised an eyebrow, concerned by his demeanor.“Aarya! You’re here! What happened at the meeting? I heard you’re on some dream team for a project,” he blurted out, wagging his eyebrows and completely ignoring my question. Typical David–always eager to dive into juicy gossip.“Oh yes, I am. But it’s a top-secret mission. Shhh...” I smirked, placing a finger against my lips.“Wow, I heard that,” Jen chimed in as she approached us, wearing a fake pout. “Babe, won’t you please tell me about that?” She looked at David, and their lovey-dovey interaction made me want to roll my eyes. I wasn’t much of a romantic, to be honest.As I walked toward my desk, I chuckled at them. Getting everything ready to move to the 40th floor. Jen and David started helping me pack everything into a box, making it eas

    XanderThe instant Aarya stepped out of the office, I headed for my car. I would never leave the building until I’m sure she had left for the day. I started up my Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the powerful engine purring to life. My collection of cars is impressive, with several custom vehicles in my garage.Suddenly, a mighty roar echoed from the sky. Damn it, Aarya just left the office. And it’s pouring rain. Glancing at my watch, I realized how late it had gotten. As I drove by her, I honked and shouted for her to get into the car.She slid into the seat beside me and shut the car door, looking quite unsure. As if she would damage the vehicle if she sits on it. I would sacrifice myself if that makes her better, a stupid vehicle is not important. When I glanced at her, I noticed she was soaked and shivering from the cold rain. Her usually tanned complexion had turned pale, and her lips quivered. She clutched her hands in front of her, desperately trying to stop them from trembling.Then, I c

    AaryaAs the alarm rings, I groan in my slumber. I move a bit, snuggling closer to my pillow. The alarm continues to blare. I was so irritated that I yelled, “Lea, turn the fucking alarm off before I throw it out of the window! I want to sleep! My pillow and I are in a comfortable position.” As I bury my head deeper into the pillow, I sigh in satisfaction and murmur, “It smells marvelous. And it’s so soft and firm.”My head sank into the pillow, and I sighed in contentment. This had been the most peaceful sleep in ages. A soft chuckle filled the air, and the pillow beneath me started to shake. “Thanks for the compliment. Your pillow appreciates it. But if you keep moving, it won’t stay soft,” a voice responded.Startled, I looked up, disentangling myself from my comfortable cocoon. His words finally registered. My eyes widened in realization, and my face heated up. I had been lying on top of Xander. My arms were wrapped around his torso, and my head had been buried in his chest. Ah, no

    XanderAnticipation filled every corner of my mind as I anticipated my upcoming date with Aarya. She had a way about her that was just perfect. The way she spoke, laughed, and showed genuine care for others–it was all so captivating. Her adorable reactions and her tendency to immerse herself fully in every moment only made her more endearing, if that was even possible.I had reached out to Lea for advice on what Aarya liked, and her description of Aarya didn’t surprise me. She appreciated simple gestures and disliked unnecessary extravagance. Aarya was a private person, attuned to the struggles of others.The memory of her face lighting up when she saw the foyer with the small table set with her favorite food was etched in my mind. At first, I was puzzled by her reaction, but then I realized that she was continuing our 20-question game, showing her desire to understand me better.I understood when she expressed how she missed her home. I would do anything to relieve her pain. The buste

    AaryaThe soft “come in” prompted me to approach the elegant gray built-in desk where a grinning Alex was seated. His office exuded an elegant and modern executive style that matched his personality. As I walked toward him, I tried to quell the nervousness that had driven me to walk into the boss’s office impulsively. I shouldn’t have done this! How am I going to ask them?“Good morning, Sir,” I began, steadying my voice while internal tremors danced beneath the surface. “I apologize if I am bothering you, but I needed your help.”Alex’s hand waved dismissively, his grin unwavering. “No worries. I was about to pester Xander about your date, anyway. Also, please address me as Alex. My future sister-in-law can’t be calling me sir.”My eyes bulged out at his words. Did he just call me his sister-in-law? What? It’s too soon for that. Although I don’t mind... No! Not going there!“I thought we preferred sister over sister-in-law,” Sean’s voice drew my attention to the sofa, where he was cas

    Xander Aarya’s question hung in the air, and my heart raced in response. Alas, the time had come to reveal our true nature. I took a deep breath and braced myself for her reaction. Would she accept us, or would she be repelled by what we are? “Uh, yes, we are,” I admitted, feeling the weight of uncertainty bore down on me. “Cool. What’s it like to be a werewolf?” Aarya’s grin caught me off guard. Her cheerful curiosity was unexpected. I had braced myself for shock or fear, but not this. “What is it like to be a human?” Alex snorted. I glanced at Alex and Sean, who seemed to find this a bit amusing. Clueless idiots. They weren’t the ones revealing their supernatural secret to their mate. I almost lost my mind, thinking she might reject me. “Touché, Bhai. Touché,” she chuckled. Her nonchalant demeanor eased some of the tension, leaving me both relieved and puzzled. I did not see this coming my way. The nicknames — what’s with that? When did this happen? Even though I do not know wh

    6 months later... XANDER “Are you ready?” I asked. My voice was muffled and filled with desire as I showered Aarya’s neck with sloppy kisses. I couldn’t resist indulging in her addictive scent, and the sparks between us added a thrilling touch to our love. “Hmm... Xander... stop,” she managed to utter, though her voice sounded more like a moan. The hmm sound went straight to my dick, making me feel impossibly hard and eager. ‘I think we need to cancel the press conference and take our mate in this room,’ Xyler salivated, sniffing the alluring scent of her arousal in the air. “Do you really want me to stop?” I asked huskily, kissing behind her ear and biting carefully, making her shiver in my hold. I pulled her flush against me. “Hmm, no... I mean y... yes,” she whispered, caught between her pleasure and her work, as I licked my mark on her neck again. She shivered in my hold and a thrill rushed through my spine. “So responsive, so sweet, so addictive,” I whispered, kissing her c

    AaryaI stood in the serene pack cemetery, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the surrounding trees. Little Om, dressed in his adorable baby boss onesie gifted by Scott, wiggled in my arms as I pointed to the plaques dedicated to my departed family members. “This is Nanu (maternal grandpa), Nani (maternal grandma), and both your Mamu (maternal uncles). And this is where your uncle Scott is,” I said softly, my voice filled with sorrow and warmth.I couldn’t resist kissing his chubby cheek as he reached for the flowers I had carefully placed on the plaque. Xander has dedicated a plaque for my family in the pack cemetery as a place to remember them.The sight of Om holding Scott’s gifted teddy bear, saying “Yass queen” in Scott’s voice whenever you bopped its nose, tugged at my heartstrings. These were some of the cherished things in Scott’s gift basket he had prepared for Om in his apartment.Gently, I set Om down on a soft blanket and handed him his favorite teddy. With a bitterswee

    XanderThe sight that greeted me that day was both heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring. Fallen warriors lay motionless, their sacrifices etched in the annals of our pack’s history. The battlefield was strewn with bodies, a poignant reminder of the price of war.My heart weighed heavy with sorrow for the loss of around 40 brave wolves from my pack and over 400 lives from our side. We honored not just our fallen pack members but also those from other packs who fought alongside us, standing against the enemy.With a heavy heart, I walked among the wounded, offering words of encouragement and support to those who were still fighting for their lives. Our skilled healers, guided by Dr. Heather’s expertise, worked tirelessly to tend to the injured, ensuring they received the care they needed.Steven and Harry were directing the recovery efforts with efficiency. They coordinated the pack members to rebuild what was damaged. It was essential to resurrect our pack lines with the help of a witch. T

    XanderMy paws pounded the forest floor as I raced toward my pack, the pungent scent of battle filling my lungs long before the chaos came into view. The forest resounded with the clashing of metal and the fierce roars of werewolves, a tumultuous scene that unfolded before me like a vivid painting of desperation and mayhem.I shifted to my wolf as soon as I saw my pack line, knowing I could reach my pack faster on four legs. As I approached our pack, I could see the devastation left in the wake of the enemy’s assault. Bodies lay strewn across the forest floor, and the metallic scent of blood mingled with the earthy smell of the forest.My heart pounded in my chest as I mind-linked my mate, Aarya. Our bond tugged at me, pulling me inexorably toward her. The overpowering need to hear her voice, to ensure her safety, consumed me. Through our bond, I could feel every blow she took, every painful cut and bruise she endured in the fight. It only fueled my determination to reach her side.Ale

    Aarya (contd)My heart pounded in my chest as I witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of a massive... dragon soaring majestically through the sky. Its immense size and power were overwhelming, its scales glistening like polished obsidian in the afternoon sunlight. Its eyes burned with a fierce intensity that pierced through the chaos on the ground below. The sight left me breathless, struggling to comprehend the reality of what I was seeing.“Is that a fucking dragon?” Kat exclaimed, her mouth agape in shock. I shared her disbelief; the sight of actual dragons was something I never thought I’d witness.“Luna, watch out to your left!” Steven’s urgent warning came too late, as a rogue slashed my arm with his claws, causing a deep, painful cut. Gritting my teeth, I hissed at the pain, feeling the warm blood seeping from the wound.My Baba would have kicked me from heaven, seeing me getting distracted in the middle of an intense battle. Without hesitation, I summoned my magical energy and dire

    Aarya“You will tell me if you need anything, right?” I asked Beta Nancy as I glanced at the papers in my hand.“Yes, Luna Aarya. Thank you so much. I appreciate you looking out for me,” Beta Nancy replied, her voice filled with gratitude. Assuring her that she could count on my support if needed, I bid her goodbye.Sighing, I leaned back in the chair. I was in my and Xander’s office, trying to complete all the work before he returned. I had finished calling almost all council members to inform them of the situation. Xander had been away for over three hours too far to mind-link. Even though he had texted to let me know he was fine, my heart still felt heavy with worry.When Om began to cry, I snapped out of my thoughts and swiftly picked him up from his crib. “Hey, baby, shhh. It’s okay. Maa is here. Are you hungry? Huh?” I cooed.His lips still trembled, but his cries stopped clinging to me. I sat down on the sofa, locked the door with the remote control, and nursed him. As he latche

    Xander“Alpha Evan,” I nodded at the man as we sat in my office at the packhouse.Harry and Cam informed me that Alpha Evans was waiting at our border for my permission to enter. He claimed to have found Chris and his gang of Mate Kidnappers, and the urgency in his voice prompted me to grant him immediate permission to enter our territory.With Alex, Sean, Steven, Aarya, and me gathered in my office, we awaited Alpha Evans’s revelation. Lea stayed behind to wrap up the ongoing celebration, while my parents cared for our son, Om. Everyone seemed tired yet alert, eager to hear the details of Alpha Evans’s discovery, but I could sense an underlying tension in the room.As Alpha Evans settled into the seat, his Beta stood stoically behind him, his expression unreadable. Steven and Harry stood behind me, ready to protect and support. Aarya, Alex, and Sean sat on the sofa, and Cam remained outside the packhouse to ensure our security. We were all anxious to know if Alpha Evans was telling th

    Aarya“Shh, Om,” I whispered, my heart swelling with affection as I gazed at my little excited baby boy. “If you keep clapping so loudly, everyone will know about the party.”“Aaaaaa,” he babbled, trying to reach for the sparkling lights hanging from the fence. His attempts to catch the shimmering lights were adorable. However, he soon huffed in frustration and rolled over onto his tummy, determined to get closer to the fascinating lights. I couldn’t help but chuckle at his determination.Amid our playful moment, the door opened, and familiar voices filled the backyard. “Where are you, my chubby cheeks? Your favorite uncle is here!” called Alex, his voice full of excitement.“You are not his favorite. I am his favorite. Isn’t it right, my little cutie?” Sean cooed as he followed Alex into the backyard.“Are not!” Alex made a face at Sean.“Are to!” Sean snapped.Here we go again! They have been like this since I gave birth to Om. They constantly spoil the little boy with clothes, toys,
