Vincent's pov The whole night, l was thinking about what Brittney and Jake said. Sleep was far from me when I should be resting my body to prepare for the upcoming mission. I was confused about what to think? Why girls behave against their thoughts. If you like someone you just express it, what is this denial and all. That's the reason I never went near girls. They are complicated. More complicated than assembling an IKEA furniture. I never even dated someone. What's the point if you know she is not the one for you.Next morning we had to report at grounds for the briefing at 4am, and we were going to leave at 5am sharp. As I reached, I saw Alpha and Luna arguing about something. Well, it's nothing new, they are always arguing. I rolled my eyes and went near them."I am coming, you like it or not." Jia huffed. Oh! the same old drama. Bro doesn't want her to come with us, and she wants to come, again, nothing new."Just think about kids, who will take care of them?" Richard tried to c
Vincent 's povWe were ten of us, including Aroha. She was sitting on the passenger seat, giving directions, while Jake was driving. Me, Alpha and Owen (Beta of Southern Moon Pack) were sitting at the backside. One more SUV was behind us which had Dylan, Wayne, Rick, our best tracker. Susan, she is daughter of our former head warrior and last Hunter. We were going towards the spot from where we had 'kidnapped' – her words not mine' Aroha. From there she will take us to the abandoned building where all the girls are being kept. She had already briefed us about the area and number of men we would encounter. As per her, it was a one-story structure with front and back entrance, each guarded by an armed person. Roof had two guys again armed and four to five men inside monitoring the girls. So, in total not more than 9 to 10 humans who can be taken by a single werewolf but…but we will be fighting them as humans no one by any chance can transform in front of them. Those were the strict inst
EMPTY! Oh! hell!Oh! goddess, we are late. That was the very first thought that came in my mind. They must have moved the girls or even would have sold them. How are we going to find them now? And what do I tell Aroha. She will freak out, hate me even more. It will be my fault that I took her away and delayed her mission. Why, there was a hurdle at every step towards my mate. I don't know why we were facing so many obstacles. It is so easy for normal mates, they find each other, mate right after and live happily ever after. That's what I had always imagined. Now that the girls are missing... We are doomed. No...I am doomed. I huffed."Why are we not going inside?" My mate asked. Again this electronic voice, it is so irritating compared to my mate's sweet voice. I hope this won't be our source of communication through life. I glanced at her, and she was looking at us suspiciously."We are waiting for the signal from others." Bro replied, but she was not convinced and kept staring at u
Vincent 's pov 'Attack? Like we just open fire?' I inquired through our mindlink, not liking the idea at all.'That is the only way to get their attention and leave the coast clear for Jake and Rick to get away with that trailer. We don't want them following any of us.' Bro explained.'But what if they counter strike. They are more in numbers.' I asked getting agitated. 'I know and they will, but what are our options. We need to distract them, that too in a surprise attack. By the time they understand and react we should be able take down half of them.' he elobrated. It seemed to be a great plan unless it may backfire. We can get injured.'we can handle their bullets, but Aroha what about her? If she gets hit then?' I am getting furious by each passing second. Being werewolves we can survive the bullets but Aroha is human and being my mate, Her protection is my utmost priority. My protective instinct were getting hyper with Al pacing and growling around like ready to attach anyone w
Aroha's pov She was definitely thinking in her language but I translated it.I was scared, so scared. Never in my life, I have been scared of anything. I am not someone who will get scared and sit in a corner. No, not me. I was not scared as this mad man who was driving this vehicle sitting right beside me like a manic.I was not scared when I volunteered to go for that mission. When a girl from our tribe went missing first we thought she left with someone. Then the next one went missing, but when Pania went missing with the other two girls we could not sit idle. Pania is my best friend. She is a very soft and naive person, not someone to fight back, and I had to go and get her. Tane was furious with my idea of getting myself kidnapped and then bringing all the girls back. Even my father didn't approve at first. But when Ari went missing, it was the last blow. Ari was just 16. How could they take her? All these incidents shook our whole tribe. All of us were terrified. Families of
Vincent 's pov I pulled the car with a jerk some distance away from the pack house. Jia was standing at the door with her hands on her hips. I saw Jake pulling over the trailer right beside me. He got down and so did I. We are dead for sure. The drama back there will be nothing compared to this one, for sure."We are screwed, isn't it?" He said, looking at Jia"Royally screwed. What do we tell her?" We need to give the same answers if we need to live."We followed Alpha's order?" Jake suggested."Ya... that's quite reasonable." We did actually follow Alpha's orders.Aroha came and stood beside me with a frown on her face and Rick too got down, just then another car pulled up near us. it contained the rest of our team, all of them came out, and I was relieved that everyone was ok. No injuries on our end, But when lastly Hunter came out and closed the door, I furrowed my brows. Where is the Alpha? Jia came rushing towards us with her little army."Where is Richard?" She asked no one
Vincent 's pov My ears were ringing with the word 'Fiancé'. Every sound was wiped away, and a constant buzz had engulfed me. This can't be true, my mate can't have a fiancé. She is mine, JUST MINE. How can she love someone other than me? She is betrothed to me by the moon goddess. I don't know. When I started vibrating and Al started surfacing, but I was pulled into the woods by Derek. (Derek is Alpha Richard's wolf)“Calm down.” He hollered.Al was ready to kill. He wanted his mate, he was not concerned about human customs, not bothered to wipe off the whole tribe. "I want mate. She is mine. MINE" Al growled, I was unable to take control from him as I was so hurt. Derek had to pin Al by the tree to stop him from claiming our mate."She is yours. Relax. We will figure this out. You need to Calm down. We can't show ourselves to humans." Derek reasoned, but Al was in no condition to hear. He was trashing to get out of Derek's hold."ALDRICH STOP" Derek commanded in his Alpha tone tha
Aroha's povShe was thinking in her language, but I translated it.I just can't believe what I did. Why? Why Aroha? Why did you go behind him? What will he think now. Why you show your interest in him. Why give him false hope? And why give false hope to yourself.I am betrothed to Tane I can't think of anyone else. I just can't. I don't love him, but it was decided when I was born that we both will be married. My father is the head of our tribe, his son would be the ideal person to get his position, but then I was born, a girl child. My mom passed away giving birth to me, so my father didn't get a chance to get a son. As per the custom, I have to marry the son of our head advisor and if I deny, then he can challenge my father for the position.The challenge is very cruel, it ends with the death of one of the participants. My father is old and no match to Tane of course, he will lose and will be killed by Tane and I...I will be forced to be marrying him. So the sensible thing was to ag
Vincent's POV “Welcome back Vinci. I hope you are never leaving again for so long.” I turned around when I heard that voice and got the shock of my life.It was Aroha, standing right there in front of me. My heart skipped a beat. She was looking breathtaking in skinny jeans and white crop top. I just didn't know what to do or say or….I was stunned. I was looking at her after two whole years. I had recreated this scene in my head so many times but when we are actually in front of each other, I am so lost. My breathing gets heavy with each passing second. I am scared of my reaction. I don't know what I would do if I touched her. I don't want to come across as a desperate teenager but the pull is so strong. The whole situation is so overwhelming… we both are just looking at each other's eyes, her’s are brimming with tears. She takes a step forward and I take one step ahead. I don't know how long we were just trying to reach each other but when she placed her palm on my chest, I lost a
Two years laterVincent 's povTwo years, two fcuking freaking years, 720 days, has passed and don't expect me to say that they passed away in a Jiffy, because they didn't. I have died every second of it as it passed. You can never imagine what it feels to be away from your mate for 2 years. I wanted to burn that camp down so many times. Even, I had tried to escape from there, these dogs guard it so well. There were two more future Alphas, Kadan and Lucas. They too had just met their mates and had to come here leaving them alone. We have become thick friends, rebels in the eyes of authorities. Hah we made their life hell. We used to trouble them so much thinking they would kick us out but it never happened. And here we are after finishing our training all set to head home and meet our mates.Aroha…I have been literally breathing her in me. Not a moment passed when she was not in my mind. Finally I will meet her. I want to kiss her and love her, mate her just take in her fragrance and
Vincent 's pov“And then you have to go to Alpha training camp for two years also, so better make it fast.” Alpha Richard announced.What the actual fcuk? I had forgotten all about the training camp in all this chaos. That camp will be for two years. Two fcuking, freaking years. 730 Days! How will I be able to go away from my mate for such a long period. It's not possible I won't go. I can't I can't stay away from her for such a long time. And the most freaking part is that you cannot leave that camp in those 2 years. No meeting family, no going out…nothing. Hah! Not going to happen. We hardly know each other and there are so many matters to be discussed. This is so annoying. I still have to tell her about who I am. I don't know how she will react and how long it will take me to convince her… and in middle of all these how can he expect me to go away…that too for two years“I won't go.” I stated as if it was so simple and moved into the forest “Excuse me! What did you say?” he growle
"You must be so happy, right""Yes""Feeling like a hero, on top of the world. Isn't it?""Yes""You won her heart and her people's heart.""Yes" I was beaming with everything Aldrich was commenting on. He was praising me for a change."You became the head of their...oh sorry your tribe." "Yes.""What a great achievement isn't it?""Y..yes" I don't why but this is not going as I was thinking. Why do I smell sarcasm in his words?"So I should give you a standing ovation. Right?""U...umm" this is too far-fetched. He will never give a standing ovation to me."And end this story here itself. Your happy ending. Forever...and they lived happily ever after. Isn't it?""No...no" there he goes to his real intention."Then you will have babies and...oops...you cannot have babies, I forgot. But you will have pups...PUPS. you hear that. You will have pups because you are a Werewolf. A WEREWOLF." He yelled at me as if I am not aware that I am a Werewolf."I hope you remember that and before you
“taronatia kia mate”“taronatia kia mate”“taronatia kia mate”All the people around us were saying the same thing. I don't know what it was, I don't even know what Pania said because during our fight I lost my earpods and now I was unable to understand their language. It was frustrating to not understand at such a crucial time. My hold on Tane was still strong but he had given up on his struggle to free himself after he heard the crowd.I glanced at everyone bringing my eyes back on Aroha with a question. She was still consoling Pania.“Hang him to death. That's what they are saying.” Bro explained taking in my confused glances here and there searching for answers.“What did the girl say?” I furrowed at bro. Richard had left Tane’s father and now he was slumped on the ground all defeated. I felt bad for him. No parent can see their child’s death even if he deserves it.“She asked you to kill him. She better be a widow then be married to him. Her words.” he stated. Well what do you e
Vincent 's pov"You swine" he gritted and pulled my leg making me fall next to him. He pounced on me and pressed his elbow on my neck. He was fast and strong. I should give that credit to him. With one broken knee, he still managed to hold me down with his body weight.Our faces were so close, I could smell his breath. He pushed harder on my neck making my breathing difficult.“Any last wish?” He smirked triumphantly. “Y…yes.” I banged my head on his forehead with full force. His grip on my legs loosened and I kicked his broken knee. He lost all his hold on me and I flipped us with me straddling him on his chest with both his hands under my legs. He struggled badly to free himself. I punched his jaw drawing blood from his nose. I punched him again.“My last wish …is to tell everyone your truth.” I stated.I punched him hard on his heart. He doubled and spluttered blood from his mouth. He was losing his consciousness. I stood up and made him stand on his knees, holding him by his hair
Vincent 's pov "Let me just finish him off, he talks too much." Aldrich said suddenly coming to life. Tane was blabbering to his people that When I die he should not be blamed and something on same lines "Ohh your highness, Aldrich the great. Thank you for gracing us with your presence." I mocked him."Cut the crap human and let me fight him." He commanded "No." I firmly replied to him."Excuse me. I am not asking you. I will fight him." He declared. "Where were you till now, sleeping peacefully right? So go back to sleep. I will handle this. Thank you so much." I scoffed."Human, I…" he started to say something."Alpha's order Al. We will play this fair. We can't reveal ourselves to humans." I stopped him in the middle before he could complete his sentence."Who said anything about revealing ourselves to humans? Just give me control of your body. And you think he will play fair?" He replied "I said I will handle him. He can't beat me." I put my foot down. Why the hell everyone t
Vincent 's pov "Ahh, kei konei koe. I tatari ahau mo koe"(Ahh, here you are. I was waiting for you) Spoke the bastard, glaring at Aroha. His voice and his eyes extruded venom. He is making Aroha a culprit whereas he is nothing less than a cold blooded criminal.My blood was boiling with rage. He had the audacity to humiliate and degrade Aroha in front of all people when he should be castrated and hanged to death"Inaianei kei konei koe me o hoa aroha e whakaatu ana i te kanohi whakama ki a koe, me korero e ahau ki a koe mo nga mea i tupu tata nei i a koe e hora ana i ou waewae mo ratou"(Now that you are here with your lovers showing you shameful faces, let me update you on the recent events that happened while you were spreading your legs for them) I will bloody kill him without any mercy."Me te mea kei a koe te tika ki te whakapae i ahau. Tukua ahau…"(As if you have any right to accuse me. Let me…) Aroha yelled but I stopped her to say anything about our discovery. I don't want
Jia 's povI could not believe it. How could he sell girls of his own tribe? That Tane was a bloody traitor just like Tyler. Tane. Tyler. Traitor. Has ' T ' got anything to do with traitors? I will never trust anyone whose name starts with 'T' from now on. These traitors should not be shown any mercy, they should be killed because they never learn. Those who can cheat their own people cannot be forgiven. They are leeches that suck faith and trust out of us.I feel sorry for Aroha and her people. They are being deceived by their future leader. It's horrifying what he will do once he becomes their head. Girls won't be safe under his rule. I hope Vinci will finish him and if not I will do the honors. I looked at Aroha. She looks devastated. Good she ran away from her marriage to that traitor. I placed my hand on her shoulder to show her support. We will always have her back, she is family now."I am so sorry you had to face betrayal. It hurts more than anything. I can understand." I sym
