In the morning,
Alisha woke up feeling as though she was in someone's embrace, only to find herself face to face with a man.Overwhelmed with grief, she cried out, "Who killed my Lucky? And why am I only wearing a shirt? Where are my clothes and undergarments?" Her tears flowed uncontrollably as she believed that her love had been taken away from her.Startled by the sound of her cries, Alice jolted awake from his sleep and angrily shouted, "Who dares to wake me up? Do you want to die?" Hearing his harsh words, Alisha's tears intensified, and she sobbed even harder.Alice strained to listen to her cries, and amidst the sound, he realised that he had his angel right there with him. Her voice, even in distress, was like music to his ears. Without hesitation, he gently lifted her onto his lap, disregarding the slight lift of her shirt caused by his sudden action. With a commanding voice, he asked, "Why are you crying, Angel?""Let me go, you murderer! You killed my love." Alisha cried out in pain.Alice's anger flared, and he demanded, "Who is this Lucky you speak of?","My dog". In between sobs, Alisha managed to utter it.Alice's anger subsided slightly, but a tinge of jealousy crept in as he questioned, "How can you call a dog your love?"Alisha defended her affection, saying, "He is my love. My mother said he is like a brother to me." Alice realised that her mother had influenced her perspective.Desperate to be released, Alisha pleaded, "Let me go! Why did you change my clothes? My mother said no one can touch me without my permission."Alice's thoughts raced as he remembered that he had even bathed her."And I'm not a baby! How can you just take me in your lap? I'm 18 years old." Alice thought to himself, "This girl has surely lost her mind", Alisha continued.Taking advantage of the moment, Alisha stood up from the bed .Enraged, Alice gritted his teeth and growled, "Did I tell you to stand up, Angel?""You're not my teacher, who gives me permission to leave his class or stand up like that. I'm not in school anymore; I'm in college, sir," Alisha retorted,Alice sighed and corrected her, "I'm not a sir. My name is Alice, and I'm 25 years old.""Oh! Similar names, Alisha and Alice. And you're a big Alice at 25." Alice acknowledged the age difference but thought, "Let it be. Who said I wanted her?"Surprised, Alisha exclaimed,His conscience chimed in, "she is lost with her screw"Ignoring his conscience, Alice said, "Your name is Alisha.""I'm not going to tell you my name. I never tell strangers my name." Alisha declared.Alice facepalmed and thought, "She already told me her name when she joined Alisha with Alice. She's just being difficult. She told her name yesterday too. This is hilarious.""Okay, don't tell me your name is Alisha," Alice smirked."Oh! So you know my name. Can you read minds?" Alisha exclaimed.Alice thought sarcastically, "This confirms she's a patient who ran away from a mental asylum."Ignoring her comment, Alice asked, "So, why did you come here?""My pet came here last night. I followed him for a walk, but he ran away. I got here looking for him, and then I found him. You killed him, even though I told you not to," she, with her teary eyes, answered.Alice's anger flared, and he retorted, "He's not your love; he's just a dog. And why were you roaming around at night? Where were your parents?"Alisha explained, "My mother asked me to take him for a walk." Alice questioned her mother's decision, "How could your mom take such risks and let you roam around at night?"Inquisitively, Alisha asked, "Are you from the crime investigation department?""What?""You're asking questions like them, so I thought you might be able to help me." Alisha clarified.Alice mentally facepalmed,"What are you even thinking?."I'm not thinking about anything. It's you who's asking." Angrily, she replied ."Just shut up!"Immediately, Alisha stopped crying, afraid of his anger. She hiccuped and apologised, saying, "I'm sorry."Alice questioned her mother's decision, "How could your mom take such risks and let you roam around at night?""Are you in school? You're 25 years old." Sarcastically, Alisha asked.Irritated, Alice replied, "No, I'm not in school. Don't test my patience."Alisha continued, "So, are you in college?"Frustrated, Alice snapped, "No, I'm not. I already have several companies."Alisha remarked, "So, why would I test you?"Annoyed by her nonsensical comments, Alice's anger grew, more and more ."Do you have a fever?""No.""Then why do you look like a tomato?""I'm angry because of your pointless chatter, girl!" Alice screamed in her face.Alisha defended herself, saying, "What do you mean pointless? I'm talking sensibly."Alice thought to himself, "If this is sensible, I wonder what her nonsensical talk would be like."His conscience mocked him, "Oh, so you want to hear her talk?","Just shut up!"Alice snapped back ."Okay, I'm leaving."Alice angrily responded, "Who told you to leave?""Nobody, but it's basic manners not to stay in a murderer's home. I'm going to complain to the police that you killed my love." Alisha explained."Do you even know what you're saying? The police won't charge me for killing a dog, and even if I killed you, they couldn't do anything." Alice, with shock written on his face, questioned"Oh, Mr. For murder, the police can do anything. They chase criminals and punish them. I've seen it in movies."Alice’s gaze burned into hers, wild and desperate, as his fingers found the delicate string of her wedding dress. With a slow, deliberate pull, the fabric loosened, slipping from her shoulder. He pressed his lips to her bare skin, his breath hot against her. Alisha gasped, her head tilting back. "Agh..." Her voice broke into a breathy moan as a shiver ran down her spine. His hands traced down her arms, leaving a trail of heat in their wake. "You're beautiful," he murmured, voice thick with longing. Alisha's fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. "Then show me," she whispered.His lips traveled lower, trailing soft kisses along her collarbone. The loosened fabric of her dress slid further down, pooling at her waist, exposing the warmth of her skin to the cool night air. Alisha’s breath hitched as his hands traced slow, teasing circles along her sides. Every touch sent sparks racing through her veins. “Alice…” she whispered, gripping his shirt and tugging him closer. He
"I do." The words spilled from Alisha’s lips as she stood at the altar with Alice. Six months had passed, and so much had changed. They had returned to their normal life with Daisy and Mary. The battles, the burdens—they were behind her now. She still remembered the conversation she had with Maya six months ago when she told her it was better for 'her' to lead the pack. Alisha had never wanted that responsibility. She only wanted to live a simple, normal life. Maya had disagreed at first, but eventually, she understood Alisha’s choice and accepted it. Since then, Alisha and Alice had stepped away from the chaos and reclaimed the life they once had. And today, standing before everyone, was proof of how far they had come—because today was their wedding day. "You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced. Alice’s smile stretched wide as he leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Can I?" His hands rested gently on her waist, his touch reverent. He still couldn't believe t
“Amm.” Alisha moaned, her body aching as she tried to move. With effort, she forced her eyes open, blinking against the dim light. Her gaze landed on Alice. Alice was sitting beside her, but his eyes were closed, his posture slumped in exhaustion. “Alice…” Her voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper. He jolted upright instantly, eyes flying open, and within seconds, they brimmed with tears. Damn emotions. He hated them—loathed them, even. But seeing Alisha like this? He couldn’t stop them. After so long… she was finally awake. His chest tightened with overwhelming relief. “Angel.” His voice cracked as he sobbed. “You’re awake.” Alisha swallowed, her throat dry. “How long… have I been sleeping?” “You were in a coma.” He pressed the call button beside the bed before looking back at her. “It’s been over a week.” Within minutes, the doctor arrived and checked Alisha over. “She’s stable now. Her wounds will heal with time,” he assured them before stepping out. Alisha’s ga
“You need rest, Alice.” Maya ran a hand through his hair, her face as hollow as the corpse he sat beside. A week had passed, yet none of them had moved on from what happened. Alisha was still in a coma. Maya herself couldn't calm her nerves. She had killed her own husband with her own hands. Even if it had been necessary, the nightmares wouldn’t let her forget. Not just because he was her mate—but because she had loved a man like him. A liar. The cause of her suffering. Of everyone's suffering. Mostly Alisha, who had lost everything. And they still didn’t know when she would wake up. Jackson had already explained everything to the pack, but explanations didn’t erase guilt. Alice said nothing, his gaze locked on Alisha’s lifeless form on the bed. The images of that day wouldn’t leave him. They played on repeat, like a broken radio, and the more he thought about them, the more he blamed himself. But he knew—blame wouldn’t change a thing. All he wanted was for her to wake up. If
Lima looked at Jackson, tears welling in her eyes. “If I could, I would have. But I’m old, and my powers are weak after living with wolves for so many years.” Alisha thrashed against her restraints, sobbing as she watched Alice being beaten to the ground, blood pooling beneath him. 'Please!!' she pleaded in her mind. Aman sneered. “He’s human. But aren’t you royal blood? Is this how you save your mate?” He yanked her head back and slammed it against the chair. Alice coughed up blood. “Motherfucker!” He saw the crimson streak trailing down Alisha’s face, and despite the agony wracking his body, he tried to crawl toward her. Another brutal blow sent him back down. Aman laughed coldly. “Yes, I am a motherfucker. But your mother’s not my taste. This bitch might be, though.” Alisha squeezed her eyes shut. She had to save them. Somehow. Could her wolf help? She had royal blood—would it be enough? 'You just have to trust me. Even cursed, I will do anything to save our mate and every
Alisha listened in silence, every word slotting into place, making the picture clearer. The puzzle was finally forming—pieces falling exactly where they belonged. “And we wanted power, so we helped,” Lucas and Harmis laughed in unison. Why wouldn’t they? From being worthless rogues, they had risen to Alpha and Beta. They had enjoyed that power for years. And after today, they would keep enjoying it—until death took them. Maya frozen, tears streaking her face, her eyes locked on Elk. Utter betrayal. The weight of suffering crushed her chest, making it hard to breathe. Levi’s scream cut through the air. “How can you do this, Dad?!” Her voice cracked as she turned to Rish, who looked just as shattered. Heartbroken. Aman chuckled, his grip still tight on Alisha’s hair. “Didn’t he already tell you?” Alisha barely heard him. Her gaze was fixed on Alice. She understood Maya’s pain—because she felt it too. Knowing Alice’s father was responsible for her being an orphan? That was one thin
