Vincent 's pov I made my way to Brittney's room, hoping that Jake won't be there. I don't have anything against him, he is a nice fellow, but he is so stiff with us that it's intimidating at times. Jia told me he was a jovial and funny person. What happened with his pack, may be turned him into this serious, no smile guy. Still, after all these years it feels he has not accepted this pack wholeheartedly.I knocked on the door and to my dismay, Jake opened the door."Warrior, Stanford...how can I help you." See what I always told formal and upright. He must be reading a book, as he had one held in his hand."Umm...can I have a word with Brit...um Brittney?" He furrowed his brows at me."Whose it baby?" Brit asked from inside."Warrior Stanford, he wants to have a...word with you." He replied her, still staring at me with those questioning eyes."Who?" Brit came to the door and saw me."Oh Vinci, it's you. I wondered who warrior Stanford is...come on in." She waved her hand for me to g
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
