**Mahnoor's pov**
We were in Newyork by noon. Newyork was covered in snow making it look more enchanting. We were on our way to the hotel when I saw the place I love the most in Newyork.
"Stop the car" I said in an excited voice.
"What is it Mahnoor?" London asked while looking at me with a worried expression.
"London look it's the same ice cream shop that my father used to take me to when I was young," I said while clapping my hands with excitement.
London's expression of worry was now changed to the one with a small smile.
"Let's go there, please, " I said while making the cutest puppy dog face I could.
"Ok! Ok! Calm down" he said with a chuckle " Kelvin turn the car around we are going to the ice cream shop"
"Yesss"
Other pack members were in one car while me and London were in another car.
As we reached the ice cream parlor the other car also pulled in.
The pack members came towards us in a worried but attentive way looking like they were scanning the surroundings for any threat.
Looking by their expression my beta hurriedly gave them the reason to why we were stopping here.
All of us then entered the shop as an unintended smile crossed my face.
"It's just as I remember it," I said in a small voice.
As we reached the counter I ordered my favourite chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips while London ordered cookie and cream ice cream. Others ordered their ice creams and we got a table to wait for our orders to arrive.
We were laughing at one of Noah's jokes when an attractive looking skinny girl with blonde hair wearing a white silk shirt and dark pink skirt came to our table with our ice creams.
She placed our ice creams on the table while looking at London with a flirtatious smile.
"Enjoy your ice cream " she said while giving us a thousand watt smile and she turned to walk away but not before she gave London a wink.
As she walked away i instantly looked at London "London looks like you've found your mate " i said with a teasing laugh.
"She is not my mate" he said with an irritated voice.
Seeing the irritated look on his face made laughter burst out at our table. We laughed so hard that our surrounding tables started looking at our table with a weird expression.
"Is too" we all said in unison and started laughing again. We enjoyed our ice creams as we shared our funny childhood memories.
As we finished our ice creams we called the waitress for the bill. The same girl who brought our ice creams came to our table with our bill. As London pulled out his credit card to pay for the bill the girl asked "So are you guys friends? " to make sure that London was not here with his girlfriend.
London looked at me with the expression that shouted out loud "PLEASE SAVE ME!" and me being a saint and his best friend decided to SAVE him.
"Yes, we are college friends and London has been my boyfriend since college " I replied with a smile as I placed my right hand on London's shoulder.
The girl's expression soon changed to that of jealousy.
"Oh! So how long have you two been dating, I mean is it a serious relationship? "
"5 years . On our 5th anniversary he took me to the most romantic restaurant to celebrate and there he proposed to me in front of everybody. In Fact we are getting married next month" i said while looking at London as if i was really in love with him.
"Oh! Congratulations " she said with a fake smile .
"Thanks" I replied with a fake smile as she left the table.
As I turned my attention back to the table everyone was looking at me with surprised expressions on how smoothly I lied to the girl.
"Thank you," London said with a smile.
"You're welcome, btw what is it with girls drooling over you" i asked London as we started getting up.
"What can I say , I guess I am too handsome to resist, " he said with a smirk.
"Yah right! Can't wait for you to find your mate and see your attitude of i am too handsome to come to an end"
"Can't wait myself, keep wishing, maybe your wish will soon come true" he said happily.
"Ok Romeo, let's get to the hotel. We have a big day tomorrow, " I said while getting in the car.

**Badar's pov**
As soon as we reached Newyork we pulled straight to the hotel so that i can rest a little before i can prepare for the Alpha of the Alphas competition which was to take place after the World Alpha's Meeting.
After resting for a few hours I changed into my gym suit. I wore a black shorts that reached just above my knees and a grey tee shirt and headed straight for the gym.
Just as i entered the gym i saw the other door closing and a mesmerising scent surrounded me, giving me a strange feeling that filled my heart. A new feeling that I've never felt before.
I scanned the gym to see where the scent was coming from but there was nobody there.
"MINE" a voice from my head said.
"What's yours Leone? , What happened? ``I asked my wolf.
"The smell, it's of our mate, i can feel it" he said happily.
"Our mate? Maybe she's here with her pack to attend the meeting. That means we will get to meet her tomorrow ".
"Let's just follow the smell and meet her now. I can't wait till tomorrow. Hey Badar, what do you think our mate looks like? , I bet she is the most beautiful wolf , will she like us?" My wolf said in super excitement.
"Leone cool down, look at the time man, it won't look good to follow a girl at this time of the day, plus it will bring our first impression bad to her, and we do not want that do we?" I tried to convince my wolf but the truth was that i too wanted to follow the scent and find out who our mate is, but i controlled myself and started to exercise to get the scent out of my head , but it wasn't working out very much.
************************************************
**Mahnoor's pov**
As evening was coming I decided to train for tomorrow's competition before I had my dinner. So I wore my grey yoga pants and my sports bra and headed for the gym.
The gym was equipped with all the equipment that any world class gym could have. It also had two doors , one leading to the rooms that were on the first floor where the gym was, while the other one was for the guests on the other floor of the hotel. I started my warm up exercises and proceeded with my tough work out routine in the gym.
I had been in the gym for almost two hours when i decided to head back to my room. So I took my towel to clean off the sweat and was out of the door that led to the rooms on the first floor where I was staying when I heard the other door open.
Although it was for just a second but whoever entered the gym, his scent had filled my mind. All the tiredness I had after exercising was gone by just getting a sniff of that smell.
Suddenly my wolf started to jump in excitement as if it found the most precious thing that she had lost years ago.
"Calm down girl, why are you so excited? ``I asked Snow through my mind.
"THE SCENT! MINE! OURS!" Snow said excitedly to me.
"What are you talking about? What's ours? ``I asked with confusion not being able to understand what she was saying.
"The scent , it's of our mate. Let's go and find our mate Mahnoor. I'm sure he won't be too far away" she said with pure excitement.
"No Snow we can't just go and start looking for him. There are hundreds of rooms in this hotel and anyways most of the guests here are werewolves who came for the meeting that means we can meet him tomorrow at the meeting" i tried to convince Snow.
"Ok!" She said with a frown as we walked towards our room and me thinking of our mate.
“Secure boarders, call the Alphas, escort anyone who is not fighting to the safe room and prepare for war” Badar said, John nodded and left the office. Mahnoor was right behind him when Badar stopped him.“Where do you think you are going?”“To prepare for the war”“No you are not. You are going to the safe room with others. I will not risk your life while you are pregnant”“Badar, that man kidnapped and tortured me, Maria and our moms. I will not stay here and have you fight alone. Moon goddess gave us a gift to help us in war, and I plan to use those gifts to win this war” Mahnoor said as she was determined to fight beside Badar.“Fine, you can help with your powers but from afar. I will not have you near any physical violence which could harm you or our baby” to which Mahnoor wanted to protest “I’m serious Mahnoor, I do not want you near battle field. If not for my peace of mind and sanity then please for the sake of our baby” Seeing the worry and venerability in Badar’s eye Mahnoo
As they finished breakfast, Badar asked some of his pack members to escort Aliya and Sara back to the guest room to rest and prepare two rooms for them in the pack houseOver the course of next few weeks Mahnoor and Badar trained every day to perfect their powers. They found out that Mahnoor has the power to bend wind and fire while Badar could bend earth and water. They could also move or levitate objects, read mind of people and their strength and power had also increased twice that it was before.Being in each other’s company for training and preparing for the war had also strengthened their relationship, they had mated and marked each other.“So far all the Alphas have agreed to help us in the war against Ryan. Mom, Maria, Luna Sara and your testimony has helped a lot to give evidence against him. You being The Alpha’s Alpha has also helped a lot” Badar said as he and Mahnoor were walking back to their room after night run.“I agree, the response from the Alphas is far better than
One of Badar’s pack member brought us the book that the scholars had found on the knight wolves. And as they had been told before, the knight wolves had been granted with super abilities that no other wolf could possess. Each of the two wolves was granted with power to control two elements, they had also been given the ability to control other physical objects. They did not have ability to control any living organisms however big or small they may be. To help the knight wolves the moon goddess had also made the powers come naturally to them, so that they would not have to use up a lot of time to master their powers.“Badar, this will make things so much easier for us”“Yah, I was worried that we would not have enough time to learn our powers before the war”As they were discussing on how to approach other packs for their help Badar and Mahnoor heard rustling of bed sheets, they turned around and saw that both Sara and Aliya were gaining conscious.“Careful mom, doctor said you are sti
Badar and Mahnoor kept looking at the two prisoners in amazement and disbelief.“Mom!!!” they both said at the same timeThe two women in the prison looked pale from not being exposed to sunlight for so many years, their clothes were ragged and thou there was so physical sign of torture but they looked weak.The two women narrowed down their eyes in attempt to recognize who these two new people were and then their eyes widened in recognition.“Badar!!!!”“Mahnoor!!!!”They both said at the same time.“Martha open these locks up immediately” Badar said angrily as he couldn’t believe that his dad had not only captured Mahnoor’s mom but his own mate as well. Why would he do this?”“I am sorry Alpha but I can’t, only Alpha Ryan had the keys to these cells and he has also put a spell in here so that no prisoner or any other person who comes here can break it using their werewolf strength”“Go bring John, Olivia, Maria and London. And tell John to bring something to open this lock up with”
Mahnoor woke up from a light hand rub on her checks, she slowly opened her eyes and found Badar looking at her.“Good morning, how are you feeling? Did you sleep well? Was the bed comfortable?” Badar asked her in his raspy morning voice.“Morning, I’m feeling much better and after sleeping on concrete for more than a week I slept like a baby on this one. Although it seems like you didn’t” She said as she lightly touched the dark circles under Badar’s eyes. The dark circles brought out silver color of this eyes, the blazing silver she fell in love with.“Yah! I didn’t sleep well. Whenever I would close my eyes I got nightmares that you were taken away from me again and being tortured in front of me and I was not able to do anything. The same dream would play each time I closed my eyes, with different type of torture each time. Badar said while his eyes were on the cut on Mahnoor’s arm which was slowly healing.Mahnoor held Badar’s face in both her hands so that he could face her. As hi
“Badar can I please see Dr. Miller, I have something that I want to talk to him about” Mahnoor said to Badar after they all had calmed down from their emotional rollercoaster.“Why? Are you alright?” Badar asked panicking.“Badar, I am alright. I just want to ask him something. It’s just that Snow and i feel so powerful and I feel this weird energy inside me. I want to know if it has something to do with the kidnapping or the drug that they gave me there, so that I can be sure that I have nothing to worry about” “Weird, I have been feeling the same way for past few day. Although I was supposed to grow weak because of mate lose but I was still feeling strong like I was always, and after you returned it grew stronger” Badar said“Yah, I noticed it too. Remember the rogue attack before you were kidnapped, I told you that your fighting was more powerful that before” London said“I don’t think that you remember but Mahnoor a gust of wind came from your hands as you raised your hands to pr
