Vishal I have dinner with Karen, Alpha Tommy, Scott, my parents, Ella, and Ray. They all come over to the pack house, and we share a table. It is a good bonding time and the only way I can reassure them that I am fine. Karen insists on calling Ray and Ella, even though I tell her over and over again that there is no need for that. When they get her message, they leave their pack and race down here. Ella doesn’t stop fussing over me, asking me repeatedly if I am really okay. Mother cries a lot after seeing my wounds and scars; it is almost impossible to get her to quiet down. All through dinner, she keeps glancing at me, spoon-feeding me, and asking if any part of my body is hurting. It is kind of cringy, but then, that’s mothers and their unending doting on their children, no matter how grown we are. When dinner is over, Mother offers to clear the table alongside Karen. Father is seated and discussing a few things with Alpha Tommy. Scott, Ella, and I excuse ourselves and take a wal
Vishal “Nah, don’t worry about it, man. It’s nothing...” Ray forces a smile to try to convince me. But it does not work; I heard Ella clearly, and the only thing I’m asking is that she repeats herself. “Don’t you lie to me, dude. I heard your mate. What the hell did she say the Alpha King did to Jane?!” They both exchange glances but still do not utter a word. “Tell me!” I yell angrily, and Ella flinches, while Ray sighs. “Chill, man,” Scott says, tapping my shoulder. This is the first word he has said since we came out. He’s always been a man of few words. “We’re sorry, Vi. But we couldn’t do anything to prevent it. The Alpha King already had her tied up before I visited her,” Ella explains. “And he already forced himself on her the night before I visited, so I really couldn’t do much to help her,” Ray adds. I clench my fist in anger. I’ve never craved killing someone as much as I crave killing the Alpha King right now. “I’m going to kill that Alpha King,” I sputter. My muscles
The Alpha KingIt has been two days since Luca comes to me, but there is still no word from him. No news about my illegitimate brother. I have been quite restless since then.My nights are shortened; I am awake most of the time, in deep thoughts. The scenarios that come up in my mind are horrible, and I hope they remain thoughts. The worst is picturing my half-brother taking over my position as Alpha King. It becomes a nightmare soon enough, haunting my dreams and my thoughts.Two days feel like an eternity. I need to know where he is, so I can end his miserable life, and the thoughts of him wouldn’t haunt my dreams anymore.But there is nothing else I can do but wait. Even though the waiting is killing me.“Eat up!” I grunt, holding out a fork full of noodles to her face. I am not much of a cook, but I prepare noodles for her.She is tied up in a chair, and her mouth is also gagged, but I roll down the piece of clothing I used in gagging her so she can at least eat. “I don’t want to,”
JaneHappiness has eluded me since I became a prisoner of the Alpha King. Ever since he separated me from my mate, I’ve known nothing but sorrow and tears.My heart races in panic whenever I think that Vishal might be dead. I never stop praying for him, pleading with the Moon Goddess to keep him safe.Through all the torture and abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of the Alpha King, through all the pain I’ve endured, I never stop praying for Vishal’s safety, not even for a second. He is all I think about, all I dream of, and when I hear he’s coming for me, my heartbeat kicks into overdrive.I can’t contain my joy knowing he is alive and has returned to his pack. My Vishal is alive! That gives me hope. I can already picture being in his arms, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon.Hearing his voice now feels surreal, and even though I haven’t seen his face yet, I know it’s him. It’s Vi. He’s here! Oh goddess, thank you so much. I never expected it to be this soon.Even though I recognize
Jane.I do not know how long I have been running, but I do not stop until I hear indistinct chattering. I trace the voices, and they become more audible as I draw closer to them.I pant heavily. I badly need to catch my breath. I am running in my human form because my wolf is still too weak for me to shift into it. I try countless times to shift, but I end up hitting the ground hard. With no choice left, I continue in my human form, determined to get to Ray.Vishal asks me to go to him, and I know I will be safe with Ray. So even though my body is giving up and my spirit is weak, I will myself to keep running.I am in a hurry to get to the voices and miss a log of wood lying in my path, so my feet hit it and I lose my balance. I fall over it and roll down a sloped area until I stop in the depth of dried-up leaves. I stand, wincing slightly at the pain all over my body.I leap down to the area where the voice is coming from; it is much more audible now, and I can hear Ray giving orders
JaneI get out of bed before dawn, pacing the front yard and looking out for any sign of Vi.I couldn’t sleep well last night. I keep having nightmares of him getting killed by the Alpha King and never coming back to me.My repeated nightmares make me unable to sleep. I walk out of the pack house, awaiting his return, praying hard to the moon goddess that she grants me this huge favor by bringing Vishal back home to us.But when the sun rises high up in the sky and there is still no sign of him, I lose my cool. I wail and scream out his name; I cannot hold it in anymore. He has yet to return, and there is every chance that he might have been killed already.I am not the only one worried and hysterical; Ella is too. Even Ray is worried, but whatever agony they feel is nothing compared to the hell that has let loose in my heart.If Vishal doesn’t return, I will end my life with my own hands. A life without Vishal is worthless. He is my air and the only reason I try so hard to be strong.
Three years laterVishal“Dude, calm down. She’ll be fine,” Scott says firmly, patting my shoulder.“They’ve been in there for hours, man. How the hell do you expect me to be calm?” I retort, standing from the chair and pacing back and forth again.Everyone here cares for and loves Jane. Their support means everything to me; they are the only reason I am still holding it together.I pace the hallway, trying to avoid bumping into the nurses hurrying past us. It’s the Pack’s hospital, and we’ve been here since dawn.Jane’s water broke, and we rushed her here. It’s been ten hours, and still nothing. Her piercing cries come at intervals, and they unsettle me. I can’t relax until it’s all over and she gives birth to our first child safely.“Hi, Uncle Vishal,” three-year-old Smith blubbers, tugging at my shirt.I look down at him and am forced to smile. He is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to Ray and Ella, the blossom of their love for each other.“Hey, Smith, what do you have t
PROLOGUEI walk into the pitch-dark room, reaching for the switch to turn on the lights. My fingers couldn't touch the switch. Like the switch isn't there. But the room is familiar. It is my bedroom with Vishal. The room where we have a thousand sex, say the most cheesy love lines to each other, fight and cry, console and kiss away each other's pain.A smile formed on my face as I spotted a bouquet of roses on the bed. I shut the door and walk to the bed. The bouquet has a note on it and I pick it up to read.My heart does a little flip-flop at whatever romantic adventure Vishal is planning now. I open the note but the sound of rushing water from the bedroom makes me look up.“Vi?” No response. But it has to be him. Maybe he is waiting for me to join him in the shower. I feel my pussy wet at the lewd thought of another shower hardcore fuck with Vi. I tease the rope of my nightgown, almost taking it off as I head into the bathroom.“Vi?“ I stop taking off my nightgown as I realize t
