Hi everyone, This chapter broke my heart. I went and hugged my family after writing this. Thank you for reading. Kindly vote, review and share the story if you like it. Lots of Love❤️
Xander“Yes, thank you, Alpha Agrawal. I will convey your condolences to Aarya. Yes, I will inform her about calling you as soon as possible,” I concluded, ending the phone call.With a weary sigh, I ran my hand over my face, trying to alleviate the fatigue that had settled in since this nightmare began. From the moment I woke up, the weight of reality had pressed down on me relentlessly. Aarya’s pain reverberated through our bond, a constant reminder of her grief. My mate cried herself to sleep. My own chest was constricted by a heavy, indescribable ache. The sorrow wasn’t limited to one form; it was a tapestry woven with threads of loss and heartbreak.Despite the overwhelming emotions that surged through me, I maintained the block I had erected from everyone. Aarya had tried to do the same, but her agony was so profound that it pierced through, intermingling with my own emotions. Nyx was enduring her own unique anguish, robbed of the chance to even meet her mate. The mournful, haunt
AaryaI woke up abruptly, my heart racing and my body drenched in sweat. The fear that grappled my body due to the nightmare made me quiver. I glanced at Xander, who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I slipped out of bed quietly, not wanting to disturb his sleep. I needed space to clear my head. Exiting the room, I entered the living room and sank into the soft couch.Wrapping my arms around myself, I tried to shake off the lingering fear that the nightmare had left me with. The opulent living room felt suffocating with my apprehension and unease. It felt like a different lifetime when Baba, Maa, Amit, and Atul were here, laughing and chatting on this very sofa. I could still hear their voices and see their faces.My mind kept returning to Xander’s comments. He thought it was not an accident. I trusted his instincts, and I was convinced that he was right. But who could have done this? And why? As far as I knew, my family had no enemies. Alex pointed to the weird-looking soot that ooze
Xander“Coffee?” Aarya asked as she got up to get herself some tea. Aarya had been engrossed in the scrolls and books about Mirabai, her ancestor, while I battled a never-ending stack of administrative tasks that accompanied my dual role as an Alpha and CEO.“Sure. Thank you, Jaan,” I accepted her offer with gratitude, rubbing my temples. A strange series of events had occurred one after another over the entire month. We requested that Katrina, a witch, join us so she could assist with this situation. Her magic allowed her to see images of people from their items. She owes us a favor when we rescued her at Alpha School when she unintentionally crossed the werewolf border.When we called her, she promised to help and to come to the pack as soon as possible. However, an entire week had passed, and her presence remained elusive. I want her insights to unravel the web of mysteries enveloping us. While this was going on, Alpha Tristan of the Nightshade Pack alerted us to the kidnapping of t
AaryaI sang Taylor Swift’s song “Lavender Haze” loud enough for the entire bathroom to hear. I don’t have an exceptional voice, but being a bathroom singer was amusing for me. Wrapping a soft towel around my body, I emerged from the shower feeling refreshed.Stepping up to the mirror, my gaze caught the fading marks on my skin. My cheeks flushed as I recalled the night I spent with my husband. It was crazy how I could identify how he was holding back for my sake. I have felt it every time we were intimate and so I called him out for it yesterday and the results were so hot.The hold he had on my pleasure, the amount of tension between us, and the way Xyler took the last round made it rougher than we ever were. Wow, the orgasms I had!I hid my face with my hands and chuckled at how much I enjoyed having Xander in charge and how much I wanted to do it again and again. The way he controlled me took me to a part of heaven I never knew existed repeatedly. My body shivered at the recollecti
Unknown POV“Where is she?” I barked, hurling the coffee cup I held at the trembling man standing before me. He cowered, head bowed in fear, as my rage radiated through the room.“Hmm... boss, we found our vehicles abandoned in the middle of the road,” he stammered, his voice quaking. “No... no one was inside.”“Where is she?” I roared, rising from my chair. The rusty floor groaned under my weight, amplifying the silence that enveloped the room. I moved toward the pathetic excuse for a man before me.“Sir, I... I don’t know. We’ve lost contact with our people,” he stammered, terror evident in his eyes.“That whore, what was her name? Yes, Lily,” I seethed, memories of her surfacing. “She called you two days ago, claiming she had her. Where is she now?” I screamed, closing the distance between us and grabbing his throat, my fingers digging into his skin. His face turned a sickly shade of purple, a cruel smirk tugging at my lips.“I made myself clear—I wanted her. Yet you failed to bring
XanderI shut down my freaking laptop and rubbed my face with my hands. I am beyond frustrated right now. All I craved was to be beside my wife, holding her close and easing her pain. But, we had a really important meeting today. We are submitting the final evidence my mate gathered on NFT’s nefarious activities to the authorities.I really wanted Aarya to present the evidence since she had worked on it tirelessly, but she was not herself right now. She had been heartbroken since we discovered we had lost our four-week-old baby. I still remember the look on her face when she realized what had happened at the pack hospital two days ago.Two days ago...I paced restlessly back and forth in the hospital corridor as the overpowering scent of disinfectant mixed with the faint tang of blood hung in the air. The dread I felt in my soul was evident in the hospital halls as the pack members looked at me with concern.I wanted to be with my unconscious mate in the room in front of me. However, t
AaryaI giggled and yelled, “Stop, Xyler. It tickles.” He grumbled and continued to give me slobbery licks across my face. I tried to scoot away from his enthusiastic tongue, but the wet and soapy ground beneath us made my escape efforts rather comical. I was washing the mighty Alpha in our backyard while he gave me those adoring puppy eyes that never failed to make my heart melt.I ran my hands over his soft fur my fingers working to work up a good lather of soap. He purred and wagged his tail, creating little splashes of water around us, making me smile.“Does it feel good?” I questioned as I kissed his wet snout and scratched his ears.‘Yes, mate. More,’ he crooned in our mind-link. I couldn’t help but chuckle as I continued to wash his silky fur.It had been a challenging couple of days since my heart-to-heart with Xander. We’d bared our souls, sharing the weight of our pain and grief, and it had been both cathartic and healing. The ordeal of the past weeks had taken its toll on me
Xander We arrived in the room in record time. Steven has informed us that Lily is finally awake. So rather than kicking his ass for disturbing me and my mate, we are running with him towards the hospital room in the dungeon. We have tied Lily to the bed so she cannot leave. Not that she can. She could hardly hope to escape a pack of werewolves, but we didn’t want to waste our resources on her. She is in an underground dungeon. Heavy-duty metal construction and bulletproof heavy-grade glass are used to create the room where she is confined. It is designed to house high-risk captives. “What did the doctor say? She is stable enough to answer our questions?” Aarya asked. She appeared calm and collected, just like the Luna she was, but I could feel the storm building beneath her walls. Steven huffed, looking forward. “Dr. Heather is skeptical about Lily’s ability to respond. But we’ll figure something out. We need fucking answers. Once we get what we need from her, Lea will want some ti
Hi everyone,It’s a wrap! Thank you guys for supporting me throughout Aarya and Xander’s story. I really hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments section, and don’t forget to review and vote if you’ve liked the story.This book was my first ever work. I started this book first but MMH took priority so this book was pushed back. I learned a lot since MMH so I had to rewrite most of the chapters of TAM keeping the essence same. Thus, the editing process extended the timeline, but I’m delighted to say that it’s now complete.Now that we’ve reached the conclusion of this book, I’m excited to reveal that Alex’s story is in the works and will serve as the second installment of the Alpha series. I hope you’ll join me on this new journey, staying with us until the end of the series.You can follow me on social media. I hope I can see you there soon. I’m looking forward to interacting with you all there, addressing y
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,
