Chapter 50: An Unavoidable ConsequenceMink’s P.O.VAbhay and I started to walk back to the pack, the body of the stranger left behind in the snow. I would send one of my men to get him back to the packhouse, and once he was identified, his body would be disposed off in the Jharna."But Mink, you didn't steal anyone," he said firmly, as he held my hand firmly to help me navigate the tough terrains. "Those people who joined our pack did so of their own free will. Their alphas were abusive, manipulative. They sought refuge with us because they saw a better life, a chance to escape the tyranny they faced.""I know, Abhay," I nodded, agreeing to his convictions. "But the Alphas would never believe such a claim. In their minds, they are just and fair. Everything they do is because they believe it's best for their pack. They've been enforcing their rule for ages, and instead of introspecting, they would rather blame others, label them as thieves, and try to sabotage them."Abhay nodded, und
Chapter 51: Unrest WithinMink’s P.O.VI watched the packmates murmur about the disaster that had just hit us like a bolt from the blue. The Jammu pack led by Arsalan Ali, our long-standing rivals, had dared to send their beta into our territory, a brazen move that spoke volumes of their intentions. But now, with the beta lying dead at our borders, there was no denying the storm that brewed on the horizon. War was inevitable.I paced back and forth in my office, the tension palpable in the air as Ruksaar, Kashmira and Abhay stood in front of me, their faces drawn in concentration as they tried to comprehend the magnitude of the situation."We cannot afford to underestimate them," I declared, my voice firm despite the turmoil raging within me. "They will not rest until they have torn us apart, piece by piece."Eyes flickered with uncertainty, murmurs of doubt threading through the room like shadows in the night. "But Mink," Ruksaar spoke up, her tone laced with concern, "they outnumber
Chapter 52: A True Alpha’s PowersMink’s P.O.VMy heart pounded against my ribcage like a frantic drum as I watched Abhay step in front of me, taking a stance in front of my whole pack."Abhay, step back!" I hissed urgently, my voice tight with fear. "You can't win against a wolf, especially not one that's lost its mind."Abhay glanced back at me, his expression determined yet tinged with concern. "Mink, listen to me," he said firmly, but there was a hint of desperation in his voice."I know you're strong enough to take them on, but you're pregnant. You shouldn't be taking on this kind of challenge in the first place."I shook my head, frustration and fear warring within me. "So what if I'm pregnant?" I retorted, my voice trembling with emotion. “I can deal with them just fine.”“You can, I know you can,” Abhay spoke reasonably. "But that doesn't mean you have to agree to every stupid request thrown your way. I can handle them myself."The wolves growled menacingly, their eyes wild wi
Chapter 53: Princess?Mink’s P.O.VAs Abhay and I stood in front of the tranquil Jharna on this quiet evening, the sound of water cascading down the rocks filled the air, creating a serene atmosphere around us. The light of the rising sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the landscape. It was one of those rare moments of peace amidst the chaos that had engulfed our lives lately.Abhay took a sip of his beer, his expression thoughtful as he gazed out at the flowing water. I watched him for a moment, envying his ability to find solace in something as simple as a drink.At that moment, I wished I could join him, to let go of all the worries and fears that had been weighing heavily on my mind since last afternoon."I envy you, Abhay," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I wish I could drink too, just so I could forget everything that happened today."Abhay turned to look at me, his eyes reflecting understanding mixed with a hint of concern."
Chapter 54: Dangers Looming CloserAbhay’s P.O.VI woke up with a start, my heart pounding against my chest as if trying to break free.The closer we get to the war, the more vivid my nightmares become, but still, I keep hoping that what I was seeing was for a reason and that the new addition of the black wolf meant something more than just what we were to face during the upcoming battle.The room was bathed in a soft glow from the dawn light filtering through the curtains, casting shadows across the familiar contours of the furniture. I turned my head slowly, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, and found Mink lying peacefully beside me, her chest rising and falling in the rhythm of sleep. Relief flooded through me, a wave of reassurance that she was safe, at least for now.Quietly, so as not to disturb her rest, I slid out of bed, careful not to let the floorboards creak beneath my weight. With each step, I felt the tension in my muscles ease, the residual fear dissipating like mist u
Mink’s P.O.VAs I sit here, eight months pregnant and visibly showing, I can't help but feel the weight of impending motherhood pressing down on me. Every kick from within serves as a reminder of the life growing inside me, a life that I will soon be responsible for. But amidst the anticipation and joy, there's an undercurrent of unease, a feeling that the other shoe is about to drop soon.The news of Arsalan's Beta's death reached his Alpha much later than expected, a delay that was completely unexpected because I would have thought Sahil to have sent a telepathic message to his Alpha as soon as I had slashed his chest. But as to why that hadn't happened was now a cause for concern.However, we then stumbled upon a new discovery that went against our strategic planning and the reason why Sahil hadn't sent Arsalan a final cry for help became increasingly clear. Through meticulous research and observation, we've come to realize that our pack's ability to communicate with other wolves o
Chapter 56: UnderestimatedMink’s P.O.VAs we rushed to the area where the enemy army was advancing, tension hung heavy in the air. My soldiers moved swiftly, their training kicking in as we prepared to face off against the oncoming threat. Ruksaar took position with her snipers and other long-range weapons, ready to halt the progress of the wolves with deadly precision."Keep your eyes peeled, everyone," I called out, my voice firm and commanding. "We need to hold them off until reinforcements arrive."She nodded, her gaze focused through the scope of her rifle. "I've got them in my sights," she replied, her voice steady despite the chaos around us.As the enemy army drew nearer, the tension escalated, and I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins. Then, amidst the chaos, Alphas Arsalan and Daksh appeared at the center of the battlefield, flanked by their loyal pack.I narrowed my eyes as they approached, sizing them up. These were tough opponents, but I refused to let fe
Chapter 57: Beginning of the InevitableMink’s P.O.VMy heart raced as I prowled through the fresh snow, my senses alert to every rustle and scent in the moonlit landscape. The tension hung thick in the air, a palpable beginning to the impending clash. I glanced at Ruksaar, Kashmira, and Abhay, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of determination and fear, mirroring her own emotions.The distant howl of Alpha Arsalan echoed through the trees, sending a shiver down my spine. It was time.With a silent signal, we surged forward, a blur of fur and fangs, our packmates at our heels. As we neared the clearing, I caught sight of the imposing figures of Alpha Arsalan and Alpha Daksh, flanked by their formidable pack.“It's time. Do everything you can to defend this pack and yourselves, may the Moon Goddess be with us.” I said.Ruksaar, with her sleek black coat, her movements fluid and calculated. She engaged in a fierce duel with Alpha Daksh's beta, teeth bared and claws slashing. With a swi
