I tried to take the knife in my hand, but it was far from my reach, and I was unable to move my hand. I can feel the pain building up in my shoulder and ribs, but I can't see the person in front of me as my vision is blurry because of tears. Suddenly everything became silent, and a sudden familiar feeling of belonging with someone rushed into me. I can't help but feel hurt and betrayed. Using my left hand, I took my gun from my calf and wiped the tears from my eyes. When I looked at them, Lily was behind Ryan, and she was still on the floor while Ryan was looking as if he had seen a ghost. His mouth is open, and his eyes are wide open. He took a step toward me, and I pointed my gun at him. His eyes bore into mine, and I could see many emotions in his eyes, like surprise, regret, and guilt, but the most prominent one was fear. I tried to get up, but as soon as I moved, pain shot up in my arm and torso. I bit my lip to stop myself from screaming in pain. He took a step toward me in con
I didn't turn, but I knew that he would be able to hear my heartbeats. I turned the knob, but it didn't take me long to understand that this knob was here just to fool the people, and we couldn't open the door from it... {shit, I am stuck} "Need help, little kitten", I heard a husky voice near my ear. I gathered up my courage, plastered a fake smile on my face, and turned backwards. "Yes, please. I wanted to go to the other side, but I think I am doing it wrong" I can see his eyes becoming a deep shade of red..... {He will be able to smell my fresh wound and blood} ... I can see that he is trying his best to stop his fangs from elongating. "Listen, I know that my blood is extremely alluring for you, but right now, I am not in a healthy state to donate my blood to a vampire". As soon as I finished my sentence, he grabbed my neck and raised me from the ground. His eyes are now bloodshot red... {wrong choice of words, Aadhya} "A hunter in a vampire's club with sass are not the things
I couldn't tear my eyes from him while wherever he touched me, his hand left a heavenly tingling sensation all over my body... "Ryan", I whispered, but he was not looking at all bothered by our closeness. His whole focus is on my neck right now, while I can't even understand what he is looking at with so much intensity... {Is he planning to mark me now when I have accepted him?... shit, that vampire's fingerprint} ... as soon as I remembered, I cursed audibly, and now I can understand why he was looking so mad. "I can explain." "Then explain '' he shouted, and I flinched. "I went to the club where Rita worked for the information. There a vampire misunderstood me for a huntress" I stopped and, as he was still looking mad, I turned my gaze downwards {Mad Ryan doesn't look that much good} "Look at me," he said with gritted teeth, and I didn't know why he was angry...ok, I can accept the disappointment because let's agree, that was not a very wise decision, but why the anger? I gathere
I ran towards the window and looked around, but I was unable to see any trace of a person there. Someone opened the door, and I ignored it as Gramma's scent invaded my nose as soon as she entered my room. "You should not leave your weapons anywhere when you clearly know that without these, your strength will be almost nil" I looked at her and found her placing my knife and gun on the desk. "What are you looking at?" "I heard someone's voice, but when I turned, there was no one", I explained to her, and she huffed. "Your bond is new. It is possible that you heard few things through your mate bond." "But I am hundred percent sure that person was talking with me" I again looked down from the window towards the woods... {there are not even footsteps} ... Gramma came beside me and took my uninjured hand in hers and patted it softly. "What's wrong, munchkin? You have been acting weird since you came back" as soon as she said that, my mind again went to the kiss that I shared with Ryan m
I was unable to sleep because of the anxiety of meeting council members and, obviously, my injured body. So, I finally gave up trying to sleep and decided to go to the gym. I knew that I would not be able to do anything in my condition, but I was hoping to find Matt and Mia there as they would be preparing for morning training along with a few warriors. Ryan didn't come home yesterday. He said that something urgent had come up, and no matter how hard I tried to ignore this, I couldn't help but miss him more and more. I tried to tie my hair but hey, who am I kidding? I can't even tie my hair with two hands without struggling, and then trying my hair with one hand is next to impossible. I grabbed an oversized T-shirt and wore it while my hand, in the sling, was also under the shirt... {oh, I love these extra-large t-shirts}. I went outside the house as silently as I could and went towards the gym. I witnessed a very surprising and weird scene when I entered the gym. Mia was helping Sar
Ryan's POV - I don't know when I slept this peacefully last time. I woke up almost half an hour ago, but as Aadhya was still sleeping, I didn't dare to move an inch. I will not say that it is not torture to sleep with her like that because first, her T-shirt that she called 'comfortable' is not much comfortable for me because it is so huge on her petite body. It keeps getting upward with every slight movement, which distracts me more than I would like to accept in front of her. Second, due to her wounds, I can't hug her tightly to make her stop moving, and if she continues moving like that, then I am afraid she will hurt herself. Someone knocked on the door, and Aadhya stirred in her sleep, but I patted her waist softly till she went back to sleep. After a minute, Shira entered the room, and she already had a goofy smile plastered on her face. "She is still sleeping," I whispered, and she was now smirking at me. "What did you want?" I whispered again. "Lily is waiting for you downs
We were shocked to even react to this. We all were silent and trying to digest the new piece of information when Shira fell to the ground. Aadhya didn't try to get her up, but she did hug Shira. "Are you alright, gramma?" she asked her in concern while Shira's gaze was fixed on Lily. "You are Dominic's daughter," she said to lily with tears in her eyes "oh my god, how stupid of me not to recognise these eyes" she went towards lily, but Lily didn't even let her come near her. "Stay away from me. Just because your scent and smell are similar to her scent. It doesn't mean that you are my grandmother, and don't you dare to even utter my dad's name with your foul mouth" in minutes, Shira's demeanour changed from loving to that of mad. She got up and placed her hands on her hips, and looked pointedly at lily. "Watch your words, young lady. Don't think that I will not scold you just because you are Dom's daughter. For me, rose and Dom are both equal and similar to them; you and Aadhya are
Aadhya's POV - I am already very surprised to find ... one, two, three, four, five, six (three males and three females)... yes, six strange werewolves in the living room, but these words are more strange than them. "Sorry, but I don't think I know you," I told the oldest man that I have ever met in my life. All of them are dressed in classy and perfect clothes. Their clothes didn't even have a single crease {, and they just travelled... Did they have superpowers to iron their clothes, too?}... I tightened my jaw to not laugh at my own sass. "She lived in the blue moon pack her whole life. There is not even a .01% chance elder Theodore that you had met her before" Ryan came behind me, and he looked a lot calmer than he was a few minutes ago. Elder Theodore is a wrinkly man with a walking cane in his left hand. He has wrinkles all over his face, and his moustache and beard are white and trimmed perfectly. His pin-straight hair is also shoulder length, just like Ryan's.. but he is wear
Important information to understand this chapter - It is written indicating the time when the epilogue is written (that is eight years after the Greyson's war) Alpha pair: Ryan and Aadhya - Arianna and Brianna (two 5-year-old twins) and Diego (thirteen-year-old) Beta pair: Ellon and Layla - Jayden (7-year-old boy), Cora (4-year-old girl), Elias (6-month-old boy) Gamma pair: Matt and Mia - Miles (7-year-old boy), Nolan (3-year-old boy) Delta pair: Jack and Sarah - Bella (8-year-old), Nora (6-year-old daughter) Lily: Adopted 4 kids from the pack’s orphanage - Silas (10-year-old boy), Roman (9-year-old boy), Ryder (7-year-old boy), Clara (3-year-old girl) When aadhya met Maya (vampire king adam’s love interest), aadhya was 20 years old and Maya was 19. Now, Maya is 27 and aadhya is 28. Aadhya’s POV - “You should have said to him clearly that this is the worst idea that he ever came up with,” Ryan said nth time in irritation while aria and bria both are in his arms and sleeping on
Aadhya’s POV -“Stop whining or I am not going to put bandages on your wound Aria”, I scolded Aria for again cutting herself after sneaking at the arsenal… {God knows how Ryan and Dee will react to the new injury now} ... Bria was silently watching both of us.Aria and Bria are now eight years old. With every year adding into their age, I always hope that this year they will mend their ways and stop troubling others or at least stop hurting themselves but every year they shatter my hopes as soon as I build them.It is the third time that Aria or Bria tried to use the knives and cut themselves instead... {yep, it is the same every time. Only one of them got hurt whenever they do something stupid and this time it is Aria’s turn}But I don’t blame them for this. Whenever we are training, Ryan, dee and I, all three of us can’t help but show off our knife skills to the other warriors and even compete with each other. So, it is normal for curious kids like Aria and Bria to get attracted tow
Eight years later - "Addy", Dee came after completing his evening training and slumped on the sofa that is in the drawing room. "Addy, I am home; where are you?" he again shouted and waited for her to come out from anywhere, but when she didn't come or reply, he rolled his eyes and went towards the kitchen "addy", he called her but didn't get any response. He went towards the office. He knocked on the office door and opened it after a few seconds, where he found Aadhya doing her work. "What happened, Dee?" she asked him and closed the file that she was reading. He went towards her and kissed her on the cheek. "Nothing just wanted to see you," he said and sat on the chair that was in front of the table. "What are you reading?" he asked her, and she couldn't help but smile. No matter if Dee is a child or a teenager, his questions are never-ending. "Checking the annual file of council members. Ryan wants it by tomorrow," She explained to him, and he nodded. When they checked the files
Now when she knew that Greyson had finally died, she couldn't help but replay everything that happened with her in a few hours as well as everything that she got to know from the moon goddess. With each passing second, it is becoming harder for her to accept that so many people died only to save her. She covered her face with her hands and started sobbing loudly. Her sobs are breaking Ryan's heart, but he is unable to do anything. He can feel the emotional burden that she is feeling, but he knows that there is nothing anyone can do about it. Truth is always bitter and hard to accept. -------------------------------------------Aadhya is still in the same room, and her crying has not stopped even after half an hour of Greyson's death. The acid was concentrated enough to kill him, but his body was still not dissolved in it. Even some parts of Wilson's body are also floating in it. Ryan needed to take care of the matters outside, so he went away, but he could still feel Aadhya's feelings
All the people, irrespective of their species, are writing in pain for a complete half an hour. If it were not for Aadhya, they would have felt the same for at least a few hours more, but she can't see her loved ones in this condition for much longer... especially Ryan. Even after ending everything, not even a single person has the strength to stand on their feet again. The experience that they felt is so painful that many of them are still shivering, and there are goosebumps all over their body. Few are still crying. Aadhya was observing all this when Ryan got up and engulfed her in his arms. No words were exchanged between them, but Ryan already knew what he had experienced just now. All of them experienced the experience of Aadhya when Greyson was experimenting on her. They all were able to feel the pain that she had felt for two years. They heard the cruel laughter of Greyson, they heard him talking with Aadhya, and in return, only her whimpers were heard by them. While everyone
"Your soul is the mixture of two souls" When she said this, Aadhya got even more confused about it. "It is not because of me", The moon goddess clarified to Brinda before she said something "though Shira was successful in saving your body of a white wolf, a part of your soul died the same day when your mother gave birth to you." "I don't understand what you are saying. A soul is just a soul... how can it be a mixture of two souls." "Have you ever wondered what a mate bond is?" she asked Aadhya, but she didn't have an answer to it. So, the moon goddess continued, "Mate bond, mate pull, everything is nothing but just an attraction of a soul towards its other part. Two mates share half a part of the same soul. That's why they feel pulled and attracted to each other. In your case, a part of your soul was damaged when you were born, and all the things that were done to your body after that didn't help much. When Shira got you, you were almost dead. In saving you, she used not only the li
Aadhya was unable to think or do anything except feel numb.. even her brain was also unable to process anything. Shira's body is shaking in pain. Even Ryan was also unable to react after looking at Shira's condition. They have chopped off both of her feet, and her wounds are bleeding profusely. She looks pale, and both of those rogues are holding her up by grabbing her arms harshly. "You know I am too irritated by her running away every time. This time I didn't want to take risks," Greyson explained as if it was nothing big. "If you took any stupid decision to save me, then I will never forgive you, Aadhya," Shira said in a timid voice which angered Greyson. He slapped her square on the face, and both the rogues who were holding her left her arms, which resulted in her falling to the ground on her already chopped-off legs with her whole weight on them. She shrieked in pain, Aadhya took a step towards her, but Greyson stood in between. "I am not stopping you from coming near your gran
Author's POV - Everyone around them just froze on their spot. None of them was able to believe their eyes, not even Greyson. Those few seconds in which Aadhya turned into her wolf were the mystic few seconds of their lives. It is not because everyone, other than Greyson, was considering her human but because of the colour of her fur. No, her fur is not white. It is silver in colour. It is so much shiny that one can see his reflection in her fur. Her black eyes have turned into blue with multiple shades of blue and a bit of silver in between. She raised her head and howled loudly. This was the moment when her wolf released her scent, which she had been hiding for the last eighteen years to save herself. Her aura is so dominating that the rogues present there are already shivering when she has not even given them any command. Her wolf is the same size as Ryan, but it is more enormous than any other wolf in the whole werewolf world. The rogue, which was grabbing Dee's hand, was dist
Aadhya's POV - When I woke up again, I found Greyson sitting just next to me, and he was looking at me with concentration. I averted my gaze towards Dee, who was still not in his senses. "When is he going to wake up?" I asked him. "Not soon. I gave him more sedatives an hour ago" he got up from his place and now has another injection in his hand. "We should continue where we left. No need to panic. It is not as concentrated as the previous one." I didn't say anything and waited for him to inject me, but he stopped. "Can't you let beauty take control of you? I wanted to talk with her. I want to see her" .. {as if I could do that. I didn't even know the 'beauty' you are talking about}... "Common, let her out now." "Don't you understand? I didn't even know that I had a wolf a while ago. How am I supposed to 'let her out? If I was able to do that, don't you think I would have healed myself till now? That sling in my hand is not for show," I said to him in irritation, and from his expre
