Stephen's POV.Next Morning!!When Daniel and Eva left the pack, all the people in my family were sleeping except me, of course. Only I knew how much my hands were itching to send some guards with him, but then he wanted to keep this family as their daughter’s mate, not as an Alpha.“I know you’re worried about your brother, Stephen. But trust me, I will bring back your brother and your Alpha in one piece, and there is no way I will let anything happen to him, unlike the previous time.”, Eva assured me. “And I give you my words about that part.”Her words helped me a bit, not that much, but then Thunder tried to convince me that I was getting worried for no reason when Eva was assuring me.“When no one in Daniel’s family has any problem with me being half-vampire, then why do you think my family will have any problem with my mate? Not all vampires kill werewolves unnecessarily. Moreover, my real father was once a hybrid, so neither he nor other people in the family hate werewolves.”
Stephen's POV.Aleena was 22 years old, and it meant her wolf would have experienced everything in the last four years. Thunder wanted to know more about her. And only I knew how much my wolf wanted to talk to her but couldn’t because neither she was from our pack nor our mate.I didn’t have any problem with him getting friendly with her wolf until he fucking LICKED her face.‘Thunder.’, I growled at him.‘Can you please not disturb me at this moment?’ he asked in a calm tone.‘She’s Aleena’s wolf. It’s fine till friendship, but this is going away farther than that.’, I reminded him. But he ignored me and licked her again. I could see that even her wolf was thinking in the same way as me when she shook her head and stepped away from us.Thankfully, someone was intelligent over here, but Thunder being Thunder, her signal didn’t stop him from doing what he had decided. After a while, he convinced her by nuzzling against her soft fur.I mentally slapped myself, seeing them spending time
Aleena’s POV.I didn’t know what was wrong with the Beta, but he was furious and irritated. I would have given that credit to me if he weren’t pissed from the moment I opened my eyes after everything that happened in the morning. Even Leia was extremely quiet.Did she go into depression or something because of the rejection?I didn’t know she wasn’t talking to me. It was not that we were kind of best friends who used to share each and everything, but for the first time, her silence was bothering me.I wanted her to go away and always used to shut her up, but when she was doing this on her own, then I felt some sort of emptiness.‘Leia, I’m sorry. But you can’t blame me for whatever happened in the morning, just like you had asked me. I didn’t reject him first. It’s just that I accepted his rejection without a fight, and I know you are in pain because of that.’ I tried to talk with her when I saw her sleeping in my mind with her eyes closed.‘I know you need a mate, and I promise to g
Aleena's POV.Perhaps I could close the mind link or pretend to be sleepy and close the mind link. My mother wasn’t that stupid; who wouldn’t catch my drama.She would know something was up.This was the woman whose womb I had come out of.More seconds ticked away as nothing came out of my mouth.Shit.A few more seconds ticked away.Shit, Shit, Shit.‘Where were you throughout the day?’ Mom asked, more like a Luna asked.‘Alpha Liam rejected me, and I accepted his rejection before Leia could share her input on it. I didn't bother to know what she wanted to do with his rejection. I took that decision on my own. And after that, I fainted because of the enormous pain. That’s why you couldn’t reach me through the mind link.’‘I can’t believe you, Aleena. Being mean to others is understandable, but how could you be so mean to another half. I can’t imagine how she would be feeling right now.’, My mother said. I could already imagine her head shaking in disapproval. She didn’t want my wolf
Leia’s POV.The moment Aleena fell into a deep sleep. I took control of her and blocked her. I couldn’t thank her mom for this idea.As usual, I was sitting silently and was cursing over my fate until I concentrated on her words. I realized that I had to take a stand for myself because if not now, then I would never be.Just like people say, ‘Take responsibility for your own happiness, never put it in other people's hands.’ And thinking about everything that happened today, I knew with whom I could find my happiness. I had barely left the bed when I heard someone’s voice in my mind.‘Leia’Was someone trying to communicate with ME? But how did that voice know that it wasn’t Aleena, but I was in charge of the body.‘Because I know.’ I heard that female voice again.‘Who are you?’ I asked her. Because I had never heard that voice before, I doubt that Aleena knew someone with that voice.‘My name is Ivory. I’m Evangeline’s Lycan wolf.’ she responded, and slowly an image of a huge beauti
Leia's POV.I slowly knocked on the door of Stephen’s room, checking in all the directions so that no one could see me!! Soon, the door was wide open, and Stephen narrowed his eyes, looking at me.Okay! He was not happy to see me here, in front of his room at this hour.“What are you doing here?” he asked rudely but in a low tone.I didn’t know what I was thinking before coming here.It was his wolf who showed some affection toward me.Now that his human was in control, he would surely kick me away from him.“I…I’m sorry.”, I apologized. “I should never have come here in the first place.”, I muttered and turned around to leave, but immediately he held my wrist and pulled me closer to him. I lifted my head and saw his golden eyes. Pulling me inside the room, he closed the door behind us.“Please don’t mind, my human. He is….” he paused, not able to find any suitable word for his human.“...not that friendly?” I asked, wondering if he wanted to say that.“Kind of.”, he said, shaking hi
Leia's POV.Did Ivory want to direct her hint in this way?Of course, Aleena was not a kid who could easily come under someone's influence, but then, ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’But the question was, ‘why the hell was she giving all these ideas to Aleena?’That day nothing interesting happened in my life except for watching the same episode of my human drama throughout the day.“Are you ready?” I asked immediately after he closed the door behind me.“Sorry, Leia! I don’t think I can run with you tonight. Stephen has a lot of pending words which he has to finish, and I doubt we will get a chance to spend time together for the next couple of days.”, he apologized.“It’s okay! I can understand.”, I said in an understanding tone.“Won’t you ask me what is that work which is keeping me this busy?” he asked when he saw that I wasn’t going to question him about his work.“No. I think your work part should be kept as a secret because yo
Aleena’s POV.The moment I opened my eyes and my senses returned, I felt like I had been bathed with a bullet full of perfume.What the hell, Leia?‘What did you do last time because of which you pour so much perfume on my clothes and body?’ I hissed at her. I would have questioned more about hiding something or hiding someone’s scent or more, but that’s when my eyes landed on the broken bottle of perfume.I sighed, realizing I was thinking unnecessarily. She wasn't trying to hide any smell from me. Maybe she accidentally broke the bottle last night. If she had been hiding something from me, then she would have surely changed the clothes or something.‘Clumsy wolf.’, I muttered. I made a mental note to get this mess clean as soon as possible because my room was filled with so much perfume that it was invading me from smelling something else. I ran into the washroom to freshen up and made up my mind to talk with that Beta to know Daniel’s and Eva’s location before I lost my mind.I ha
