NASH’S P.O.V.A few hours agoTo say I was scared was an understatement. The way Alpha Dimitri was sitting on princess’s bed, the bed on which I have fantasized ravishing my beautiful mate so damn often, that I quivered.‘Why did he send out Jared?’ Zues asked me. ‘Do you think we can take him?’ he added with hesitation.‘Don’t event think about it,’ I muttered back to Zues in my head. Was he fucking crazy? If the aura of this alpha was scaring the living shit out me, what would his true anger do?“I do not have whole day, boy,” Alpha Dimitri commanded. “My daughter has run away, something she has never done in her entire life.”He heaved a long sigh. I could tell he was controlling his temper.“Actually, out of all my children, Jay is the most sensible one. She is the most powerful one too, and truth be told, if Jared did not have that raw strength that comes with male genes, Jay would be stronger than him too,” Alpha Dimitri smirked and I could tell he was proud of his daughter. Hel
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.We didn’t go to council house post my great rescue at that bar. I was still wondering what happened with Roy. Neither dad, nor grand dad had talked to me. And I was scared to mind link them. I really did not wish to see what they were up to!When we all stepped out at the tarmac, mom walked up to the other car which had nannies and my other siblings. Jared’s eyes followed her and then he too left. Leaving me with Nash… a very incomprehensible Nash!He did not utter a word to me. He was just standing at a side, as if waiting for me to approach him. But hell if I was going to approach him now. It was because of him I ran away. Because he slept with Clarice, after kissing me!We stood in utter silence when two more cars came to a screeching halt in front of the plane.Very angry dad, no – no – not very angry, incensed, incandescent and fuming with rage dad, jumped out of the car and climbed the stairs of the plane, disappearing in it.“Oh, no!” mom almost cried in panic.
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.Mom rubbed my back as we were about to land… I do not know how long we were in the plane, in air, maybe ten, twelve or maybe for infinite hours, I just did not know! My thoughts were on Nash, the man who broke my heart so brutally.“We are almost home, darling,” mom soothed.For her, I was homesick. For her, anything and everything that was bothering me was left behind in Switzerland. For her, maybe, she felt it was all because of nostalgia about what had happened with her all those years ago. And while it was traumatic, yes, it was now not bothering me.“Is dad alright?” I asked simply.I had dreaded to go into his chambers. And for the first time, like ever, dad had not come check up on us in the plane. These plane rides, whenever we took them, used to be our family time. Up in the air, with limited technology, mom always insisted that we all spend time together. Dad, who is always so busy otherwise, obeyed her, obviously. Because whatever it maybe, a fated mate ofte
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. We landed, and while always Jared and I stayed glued to each other, he sat in other car with dad and uncle Taron. Uncle Taron had to leave the very day we had arrived at Switzerland due to some emergency back home, but he was here to pick us up. He must have heard what I did, because the moment I stepped out of the plane, he pulled me in an incredible hug and whispered, “Please, don’t you ever do that to us… alright?” “Yes, uncle Taron,” I whispered in his arms so softly that only his wolf ears could listen to me. “Will they be okay?” I asked in the same tone. “Give them time,” he patted my cheeks lovingly. “Most people don’t get over things like that easily, and alphas in your family most certainly would not!” And he was right. Because the cold shoulder my dad and Jared gave me, I knew I was in for a long ride. ** Back home, I was taken straight to my room. When we left for Switzerland, we had packed our bags in the dormitories to shift to our respective rooms
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I stayed away from Jared and dad from then on. Not just Jake, even I remembered those horrifying marks on mom’s neck when I was around 5. Just that I did not know back then that it was dad who had done it to her. Mom had lied to us saying she got injured by a plant and that the plant was poisonous. I mean, I cannot believe it. How can mom even forgive dad for all the shit he has pulled on her over the course of years, mate or not, how could he! And also, I very well knew now how an alpha given wound can be healed. And in no way, no fucking way, I was going to apply dad’s saliva on my body! Yuck! The thought of it gave me heebie-jeebies. So, yeah I stayed away but I went about my work. I monitor security and training of all in the clan. I have been doing it since I was twelve years old, and I was good at it. My special focus was on girls of our clan, they should be independent. Another thing I learnt observing my mom. If she knew how to fight, I am sure the way she i
NASH’S P.O.V.Okay, so I was here… in South Africa. Cape Town was always my dream destination, well, whose isn’t considering it is called the heaven on earth, and much rightfully so. As my car zoomed across the mesmerizing valleys of this city, I was in love with it. On one side there were beautiful mountains, and on the other side, there was spectacularly blue ocean. I have visited a lot of countries, Switzerland included, but by far South Africa is my favourite.‘Or it is because our mate is here,’ Zues purred lightly.And he was right.Last one week was hell for me. I had come back to India with mom and dad. And they made my life miserable, not intentionally though, I hope. Dad somehow felt that I was here to learn about the alpha business, but how could he be so stupid! Why do I even need to learn about it when he was so wonderfully taking care of everything, and I have his men to work beside me when it would be my turn to rule.Anyway, I was most delighted when I had received an o
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I grumbled as I walked ahead of Nash, knowing all too well that he was walking beside me. Why was dad so difficult and arrogant? Did he not know how I felt for him? Okay, so he invited Nash to our home because he was my fated, but did he have to bring him in our own building? Could he not have stayed in any other building!!! ‘As if you would have liked it,’ Faye snapped in my head but I chose to ignore her. She has been very moody off late, not that I blame her… There were two choices for me to put him. I could put him in the room on my floor, but that would mean Jared’s floor too… or I could put him in a room above mine. Feeling some distance would be great, I led him upstairs, to the top floor and opened a door for him. “Here,” I spoke as I crossed my arms over my dad’s coat and looked sideways. He sighed and walked inside. He placed his bag on the bed and walked up to the balcony to witness the breathtaking beauty of our country. “Where is the rest of
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.I knocked and entered. Nash was lying on his stomach on his bed, face down. He was shirt less and I could see the edges of a tattoo on his right shoulder.“Umm… Nash,” I called out softly.But he did not reply. He did not even move. He must be in very deep asleep. I was about to turn and go back when my dad’s voice boomed in my head.‘Do not come back without him,’ my dad ordered sternly.And I groaned.Slowly, I walked up to him and saw the incredible tattoo on his shoulder. It was a flaming sun with symbol of ‘Om’ etched inside it. I licked my lips as I controlled my urge to touch it.“Nash,” I called out a little loudly now.But he did not budge.How deeply does he sleep? I wondered!“Nash…” I called again. And yet again, no movement.I bent to shake him but decided otherwise. Instead, I prodded his thigh with my foot. I could not even move him.“Nash…” I spoke again.Was he feigning it?Feeling defeated, and obliged to fulfil my alpha’s direct order, I touched him.
