I finally walked back into my dorm room. Convincing Xander that I needed to stay here rather than in his penthouse wasn’t easy, but he relented only on one condition that I gave him my sweatshirt to wear and he gave me his. Not that I minded wearing his clothes; I actually liked them.

The look on his face when he dropped me almost made me change my mind. Almost being the keyword. My thoughts were racing at a frenetic pace, and I needed a moment to process the whirlwind of events from the last 24 hours.

Lea’s sly grin greeted me, “So you’ve finally graced us with your presence? I assumed you’d forgotten about your modest peasant, my queen .”

I played along, lifting my chin dramatically. “Ah, my dear peasant, your queen was preoccupied with achieving greatness!”

Our laughter filled the room, momentarily pushing aside the weight of recent revelations. Settling down beside her on her bed, I felt a mischievous plan forming in my mind. Straightening my posture and adopting a serious

    XanderSleeping without my mate beside me was a struggle, an unrelenting void that gnawed at my senses. Unable to make it to the packhouse due to the distance from her dorm, I sought solace in the tangible remnants she left behind in my penthouse.I buried my face in the sheets we had used, clutching the pillow she had rested her head on throughout the night. Even her sweatshirt was not enough to silence my heart. It might sound deranged, but I was left with no other option. If not in person, I needed some semblance of her presence to keep the yearning at bay. Anything to prevent my urge to haul her back into my arms.The passing hours were agonizingly sluggish, dragging by as if time had forsaken me. Eventually, unable to bear the longing any longer, I texted her, seeking refuge in our conversations that extended into the night.The next day, I summoned her to the office as soon as I fulfilled my Alpha duties. Side by side, we worked, my mate being the most potent source of motivation

    Aarya The gentle wind blowing over my hair and the faint buzzing of traffic in the city serve as a white noise machine for me. I’m standing on Xander’s rooftop terrace, enjoying the chilly yet pleasant weather. Three days have passed since our encounter at the NFT and the debacle with his attempt to evade arrest. This is because Xander filed a financial fraud report against him and his company. The office is back to normal now that he is in custody. How my life has changed. Suddenly, I felt the firm embrace of two strong arms encircles my waist, pulling me against a solid chest. The familiar, alluring scent of my mate enveloped me. Xander’s voice reached my ears, breaking the silence. “What are you thinking?” I tilted my head and met his gaze, smiling softly. “Nothing, just reflecting on our week. It’s hard to believe how much everything has changed.” He leaned in, his breath tickling my ear as he whispered, “For the better, I hope.” A tender warmth spread through me, and I repli

    XanderRight now, I feel like I’m on top of the world. My cheeks are starting to ache from grinning like a complete idiot. Finally, I kissed my gorgeous mate. That first kiss, the intensity of it caught me off guard. I can hardly keep myself from wanting to drag her out of her office and smother her with unrelenting kisses.“Daydreaming, are we?” Alex’s voice snaps me out of my reverie. I blinked at him, wondering when he sneaked into my office.“How long have you been sitting in my office?” I ask, caught off guard.He smirks, clearly amused. “Long enough to catch that dreamy expression. You didn’t spend all day yesterday making my niece or nephew, did you? I am too young to be an uncle.”“Nothing like that happened, you creep. What do you want?” I scowled at him.He laughs, a sound that carries a distinct air of mischief. “Can’t I just drop by and chat with you? Oh my, am I not your favorite person anymore?”He laughed at his own joke as I shook my head at him. After a short while, he

    XanderI felt the excitement bubbling within me as I inquired about Aarya’s packing progress. “Are you all set for our trip?” I asked, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips.“Yesss. I can’t wait to explore New York with all of you,” she replied, her eyes shining with anticipation.Chuckling at her eagerness, I said, “Me too. Now, my eager little traveler, let’s get some rest. We’ve got an early start tomorrow. Scoot over.”She scooted over, and I flopped onto the bed. As soon as I lay down, I drew her to me and sealed the deal with a searing kiss. I sprang on top of her while we kissed, bringing her outrageously close so that every inch of our bodies was in contact. I’m overflowing with a sense of love and desire. I tilt her neck for deeper access and plunge my tongue into her mouth.Our kiss deepened, and I let myself get lost in the taste and feel of her. Each touch, each caress, was a testament to the overwhelming love I felt for this woman in my arms. We only broke the kiss whe

    AaryaWe finally arrived in New York, and throughout the journey, Xander and the boys took exceptional care of me. Especially Xander, my mate, the man who now holds my heart and soul. The mere thought of him makes my heart race, and the feeling of being his, bring fills me with an inexplicable joy. My mate. The words feel so right on my tongue.I picked out a beige top and a black skirt, lost in thought, as I stepped into the shower. The warmth of the water eased the tension in my muscles, and my mind wandered to the man who occupied my every thought. Xander. Smart, caring, understanding, hard-working, and not to mention undeniably hot mate. Whenever he’s near, I find myself melting like ice cream on a scorching summer day.However, the most attractive quality I feel Xander has is his tenacity. An individual cannot bear that much responsibility on their own. He has so many employees and wolves depending on him. Being an Alpha and a CEO is challenging, but he does it with a smile. He ha

I took deep breaths, forcing calmness into my every fiber before embarking on the quest to find my mate.Regret gnawed at me for losing my temper with her. I came here to apologize and beg for her forgiveness. But the sight of that man hugging Aarya had ignited an inferno within me, drowning rationality in a sea of jealousy and possessiveness.‘You better fix it, Xander,’ Xyler’s voice reverberated in my head. He was pissed at me.‘Don’t act innocent. You played your part in this too. So spare me the lecture and stop being all high and mighty,’ I retorted back, my frustration bubbling over. Whimpering, he sat back quietly.With Xyler’s energy subdued, I rushed out of the office, driven by an overwhelming need to find Aarya.

    AaryaSitting in the vehicle, Xander took the wheel. He tried to spend some time with me, so when my brothers tried to come over, he shooed him away, which did not surprise me. They weren’t thrilled about it since, despite my having pardoned Xander, they were still furious with him. With his strong presence beside me, we embarked on a journey toward the surprise he had planned.I found myself stealing glances at my mate, his hands adeptly maneuvering the steering wheel, looking all sexy. Among the city’s bustling crowd, he stood out among the throng because of his distinctive style- a white shirt, sleek black jeans, and a tan overcoat–a look that was effortlessly stylish. Since my mate is famous, we were trying to be discreet.I, on the other hand, resembled a peasant in a blue jumpsuit, a white jacket, and a plain purse. He had one hand on the wheel and was holding tightly onto my hand with the other. Being around him once more is reassuring. We were traveling through lanes I was unfa

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
