NATE’S P.O.V.
I had never smelled anything so intoxicating in my life. It was a combination of lavender, roses and lemongrass, such unique smell that it was just blowing my mind. And Zeus, well, Zeus was beyond control. And it was a combination of this amazing smell and the pull I was feeling in my gut for the past few hours that forced me to the gate. I was sure that the flowers that were emitting this fragrance were there, at the gate where I had seen a lot of flowers, I think at least… I anyway wanted to escape the baleful presence of my father, who was giving my present bed mate pointed looks – looks that were a mixture of disgust and hatred. And yes, her name was not Cindy or Emily, it turned out to be Clarice. I found out about it when she gave me her passport for travel to Switzerland. Yes, she came with me to Switzerland, well, come on, I had to bring her along, she was very persuasive when she had her little mouth wrapped around my d*ck. And she was just well, a must have on this trip.
My father, when he had arrived a few hours ago along with my mom and my younger sister Devi, was shell shocked. Because, in my room, wrapped in my sheets, they had not found me as I was in the bathroom at the time but Clarice. I must say, Clarice was an animal in bed. She was never satiated and always wanted more. I don’t remember exactly when I had met her last night, but I think I have f*cked her at least a dozen times since then. And even now, since arriving in Switzerland, where I have filled her fully and let her ride out her org*sms four times in a row, she was still asking for me!
“Namaste!” I heard Clarice speak the Indian greeting word in her fucking sexy French accent, and I knew it must be someone from my family who had knocked at the door.
“Who is she?” my mother demanded the moment I stepped out of the bathroom, wrapping a towel around my waist. “Are you ---?” and my mother’s eyes widened and her hand went straight to her lips as she clapped her mouth with it in shock. She looked back at my father, who was just eying Clarice with severe distaste in his mouth, and then looked back at me.
“It is not what it looks like,” I started but Devi giggled and I glared down at her. My sixteen year old sister always knew when to titter or make all the wrong sounds.
“I can very well see,” my mother growled as she saw the sheet that Clarice was using to cover her otherwise naked body. “Clean up, get rid of her, and find me in my room, Naaaaassshhhhhhhhhhh….” and motioning her hand to show her disgust way, she turned, grabbed Devi's shoulder and left.
“Naaaasssshhhhhhhhhhh?” Clarice asked perplexed as I closed the door once my family had left. “I thought your name was Nash, you know, smaller in pronunciation!”
“Oh, my mother just cursed us. Naaassshhhhhhhhh, the prolonged aaaaaa in my name makes the meaning quite negative,” I laughed. Though I did not feel guilt. I was a mate-less eighteen year old, what did my mom think I did on my vacations? Meditate?!
“Really?” Clarice asked as she walked to the bathroom to freshen up. “What does it mean?”
“Decay or destruction,” I grimaced but I heard her laugh. Well, whatever maybe, this girl was not going to be my destruction, instead, this girl was the source of the only pleasure in this hell hole where my father had dragged me into.

Ignoring my mother’s words and demand to get rid of Clarice, I led her to the gate. And my d*ck twitched again – the combination of that unique tantalizing smell and the memory of Clarice sucking at my c*ck was just unbearable.
“You look distracted,” Clarice crooned as she raked her fingers down at my crotch. “Let me help bring your focus back on me.”
And before I could react to the scent that was growing heavier by the second, as if its source was mere inches away from me, Clarice pushed her lips hungrily on mine and kissed me. Force of habit, I placed by hands on her back and in her hair, but Zeus was barking mad. He wanted me to push Clarice away and find the source of the scent.
“MINE…” a growl reverberated in the air.
And while Clarice did not notice anything, she was busy chewing my lips as if I was her drug, I stiffened. I made to pull back but Clarice, whose hands were trailing up and down my body, dug her fingers and pulled me in.
But I could feel the heat growing from the source of that growl. I knew the word ‘Mine’ had come out from not the human but the wolf. And I sincerely hoped that the human to whom that wolf belonged to was a girl, and not a guy.
I pushed Clarice with a little roughness, but before I could turn to face the source of that growl, it was gone. Leaving behind a whiff of lavender with a hint of roses and lemongrass.
‘MATE … MATE … MATE…’, Zeus purred in my head. ‘That is our Mate.’
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.Could goddess be so cruel? I asked Faye as I ran back to mom.“Is everything alright?” Jared asked with a concern.I just shook my head and rushed to sit in the car.“Why is she crying?” dad asked in a worried tone. “Jay, did anyone hurt you?” he demanded. His alpha aura rolling out in anger. Even the mere thought of anyone laying their unwanted hands on me rose fury in my dad. He was ultra protective!I shook my head again.“Let us go. I will talk to her later,” I heard mom tell dad and she climbed back in the car followed by Jared and we all were taken inside. If I had looked around, I would have noticed how beautiful and serene the compound was. How a sterling lake was in the centre of it and how swans were swimming in it. But my heart was heavy. And my eyes were clouded. Faye was showing me the scene over and over again. She was obsessing over the boy who clearly belonged to another girl. Why else would he kiss her like that?‘Maybe because he is also a playboy lik
NASH’S P.O.V. I was annoyed with Clarice. She had kept me glued to her lips and like a drug addict, I found it hard to let go. Damn! Zues was epically annoyed with me, because I delayed seeing the face of our mate. Hope she was as beautiful and as incredible as I have always wanted her to be. But, on top of it, I sincerely hoped she was a ‘she’, I thought again and prayed to the Goddess. But does Goddess grant wishes that are shallow? Well, I was shallow, I know it. I am the fucking alpha of the largest population of the world, well, future alpha, so I had a reputation to maintain. Oh Goddess, please do not grant me an ugly Luna! I was walking here and there searching for the source of the scent. I never had a preference for flowers till date, but now, lavenders were my favourite, roses being second. Thankfully my mom and dad were in council meeting now, and while they had dragged me here to showcase my face to the other regions and heirs, I was not allowed to sit in the meeting.
NASH’S P.O.V.‘Avinash, come and join us for dinner in the dining room,’ my mother’s voice rang in my head.‘Coming,’ I replied immediately and walked in the direction from where the smell of food was wafting. I never minded mom calling me Avinash, well, how could I, she is mom...‘And leave that friend of yours behind, I do not wish to see her here,’ my mother snapped in my head and I felt she had shouted in rage.‘She has to eat!’ I complained.‘Make her eat in the bed you are so fondly sharing,’ my mother spoke in the same agitated tone and I felt the mind link close.Clarice did not belong to our pack in India, she belonged to the French pack, and hence I could not mind link her. So I quickly texted her that she should stay in the room and I will come find her once all the drama with my family was done.She just replied with a thumbs up, and then another message popped up on my WhatsApp. It was an image. I looked around to ensure I was alone and opened it.It was Clarice, topless,
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.“Did he just growl?” Jared asked, perplexed. He was staring at Avinash, so was I, and it seemed like so was everyone.But I could not believe it. He growled. While I was not looking at him, I could feel his eyes on me since the moment I had stepped in the dining room, and I liked the feel of it. He was handsome, incredibly so, but before I develop more attachment towards him, I needed to understand him. All I knew as of now is that he was shallow and a playboy, but I knew nothing else about it.‘He is perfect, Jayden,’ Faye snapped in my head.“Why do I sense I know what is happening here?” Jared demanded as he pulled me out of the dining room.“What is happening?” I asked my brother as I tried to compose my face. I wonder what was reflected on it.“You like him,” Jared concluded.‘What’s not to like?’ Faye snapped.“Umm, even Faye like him?” Jared looked alarmed. “The way she is snapping at me!”Oh damn! I forgot to close my mind to him.‘Great, thank you!’ Faye spoke
NASH’S P.O.V.Post dinner, I was dragged to the suite my parents were occupying. And the moment the door closed, my dad rounded on me. He was so furious, I was surprised his claws and fangs were not out to hit me!“What is wrong with you?” he demanded.“A lot of things,” I shrugged, unable to control my retort. “You have been pointing out my flaws for years on end, which one are you referring to right now?”My father growled even more.“Avinash,” my mother chimed in. “Behave yourself.”“Why don’t you ask him to start,” I hissed.I saw my father fist his fingers and I took a step back. I do not want him to scar my face, at least not here, where my Goddess Princess was.“You have to pound on any girl that crosses your path, is it?” my father started.“I do not pound on girls, they pound on me,” I shrugged. I just could not help but aggravate my father.“From the looks of it, I don’t think that La Gualias girl was even looking at you,” my father hissed.And I understood his meaning, so I
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “So, are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?” Jared demanded once we were in my room. Rain and Aron also had followed us too and both were staring between me and Jared with avid looks. “I am just not feeling well,” I sighed as I gave a pointed look towards Rain and Aron. “Oh really,” Rain rolled her eyes at me and I sometimes forget she is only eight years old girl. But she doesn’t look it, and her words and actions definitely do not look it. Well, did mine when I was little! Mom dad always said Jared and I used to speak like we were sixteen when we were barely five years old. And dad often recalls and laugh that I had smacked him on his shoulders accusing him that mom left us because of him – well, mom was actually kidnapped! The worst eight weeks of my life. “Really Rainy,” I smiled at my sister. “Then why has mom broadcasted in our heads that we are to leave you alone,” Aron growled. He was eleven years old and looked it. He was as tall as I am but
NASH’S P.O.V. I did not wish to take Clarice out, but she heard the music and about the party and insisted. Zues was frantic in my head, but what could I do. I already had asked Clarice to leave this place saying my parents, especially my father, would go on a murderous spree if he spotted her again. And while it was true, it was not the absolute reason. The absolute reason was my princess, Jayden. I had even given Clarice shit load of money to enjoy herself in Switzerland for at least a month and return to Paris whenever she wished for, but she did not leave. It was a fucked up moment when she wrapped her hands around my waist and hugged me tightly from behind. “I asked you to leave,” I growled. “I asked you to leave and yet, here you are,” I barked in a low hiss. I could smell Jayden at a distance, but she was not here yet. This was her party and her mother had informed us all while inviting that the party was a surprise for Jared and Jayden. And that the twins – yep, a surprise
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “I mean your brother is dancing with my sister,” Nash smirked and pointed in a direction. I looked at the direction Nash was pointed at and felt furious. The sparks that were trailing all over my hand suddenly extinguished. ‘What the fuck are you doing?’ I demanded Jared in my head. ‘Getting to know your mate,’ Jared smirked back at me. He was dancing so closely with Nash’s sister that their bodies were touching. And oh, I could see it in her eyes, that stupid girl was falling for my playboy brother! “Can I at least dance with his sister?” Nash continued and I felt like I should slap him. “So you want to dance as a quid pro quo thing?” I growled at Nash. “Well, if that’s what get you moving because you are not replying to anything else,” Nash grunted, and without any ado, he pulled me to the dance floor and pressed me close to his body. My jaw dropped at the feelings that this sudden movement. “I am sorry,” Nash spoke after a brief pause. “For what?” I demande
