HEALER AND THE BEAST Past Life | Blue Moon Shower
*An episode from the past life of Dhara and Zayden. There will be more such episodes.*------“What’s the rush, father? Are you so tired of your daughter that now you’re keen to bind me with simply any stranger on the streets?” Selene rebutted, the graceful maiden exhausted and hurt from being slandered by her own family and friends. Just because she hadn’t found her mate yet, didn’t mean she deserved to be treated as a traitor. It wasn’t her fault the moon goddess was taking so much time to match her with her soulmate. Was it?“You don’t understand, Selene!” Her father, the honourable Beta of the Silvermoon pack, growled, irritated and distorted by the outbursts of his only daughter who hadn’t found her mate yet. How shameful was it—did she even know? She had reached the age of 25 and was yet to be mated. How long could he keep her with himself? In the past few months, she had become the gossip of the town and their pack. Everyone looked down at her as if she was stained and curse

The pungent smell in the bar was nauseating.What kind of place was this? It looked shabby, smelled horrible, and the few men gathered around the tables and seats across the counter looked nothing less than goons, ready to pounce on people left and right.There were rats scurrying in the corners, and spiderwebs clung to the walls. All the wooden work looked old and creaky.Not to forget the woman behind the counter; God, she looked like an old hag, a minute away from kidnapping kids and saving a burst of villainous laughter for the end.“Don’t look so miserable,” Zayden chuckled, moving his hand around Dhara’s back and giving a firm squeeze to her waist.She tensed. One, because even through a decent layer of fabric, his skin felt hot as hell. And two, because she ended up gasping so loud, a few heads turned their way, none of them looking happy or even remotely welcoming.“What the hell is this place?” she whisper-yelled, shoving his hand away and tugging at the hem of her top, sudde

Ripping herself away from his arms, she turned around with an annoyed huff, trying to suppress the jolt of electricity his touch had set in motion. She pushed a dark curl out of her face.“You said we are here for answers,” didn’t you? He assured her this was the last time he would trouble her with such a request. “Let’s… let’s not waste time.”“Right,” she heard him mumble with a frown, his gaze hard and harsh on her. “Come on, this way.”Thankfully, there didn’t seem to be any more interruptions this time. Once they reached the counter, Zayden helped her sit on one of the swiveling stools before taking a seat next to her.Viraj, the other guy with him, continued to stand a few feet away from them, his stony gaze set on everyone and almost everywhere in the room.“Zayden!” the old woman behind the counter hailed, a wild Cheshire-cat grin curving her lips up. “What brings the Alpha of the Alphas to our crappy dwelling?”Again, that Alpha thing. What the heck was it?“When you know it’
HEALER AND THE BEAST 13 | When He Finds What He's Looking For
It was hard to keep his hands off her. It was… it was killing him.But understanding the fact that someone could have rigged the attraction between them—the thought that bothered him all night long—he pushed himself to control the fierce desire boiling in his veins. He had to clench his fist as tight as he could, letting the nails sink into his flesh and enduring the sharp twinge of pain instead of granting them the freedom to roam over her tempting body.Damn, she was gorgeous.And he was so wickedly miserable.Since last night, he had received nothing from Jasmine. That girl simply disappeared with whatever information she had garnered with the mind link she performed with Dhara. He knew she had stumbled upon something significant. His natural instincts were screaming at him that she was trying to hide something. Something, if turned out to be true, he needed to teach her a lesson for it. That’s why, when he woke up this morning, he decided to seek the opinion of another witch. One

Dhara blinked several times, but the sight in front of her remained the same. Zayden and Jules were staring at her as if she had grown two more heads over her neck. Well, what the hell?“It’s OK. There’s nothing to worry about,” Jules said after a while, waving a hand as if to dismiss the frown slowly deepening upon Dhara’s forehead.Her gaze shipped back to Zayden. He was standing near the door, not sure when he even got there, but even if she was curious, she held it back well and gave Jules a gentle nod instead.Turning back to face the table across from which Jules sat, Dhara peered down at her hands. A few minutes back when Jules asked all of them to hold each other hands and meditate, she had felt her palms growing hot as hell. As if someone had set them on fire. It did not hurt, though. No, not at all. In fact, the warmth was fairly calm, seeping out of all the pores of her body. But now that the warmth was gone and also any physical contact with either of them, strangely, she

“But how can this happen, Grandma? How can a girl be a healer?” Jasmine questioned, her features contorted in a deep frown, her hands clasped into fists as she peered at the translucent form of her late great-grandmother. “Isn’t it against nature? Isn’t it…cruel?”No. She did not understand this, and could not wrap her head around the twisted game the universe was playing. It was outrageous, really. There was a reason a female could not be a healer. Even though in the eyes of the gods and goddesses, a woman and a man held an equal place, there were several matters and obligations only a certain gender could carry out.“It is,” the old woman agreed, her quiet eyes staring into the vast space between the two of them. Her white hair was just as white as the glow of her appearance. “But we are only humans. Never forget that. How do we know what this scheme of nature is?”
HEALER AND THE BEAST 16 | When She Is In Grave Danger
With her ear pressed against the door, Dhara was trying to hear the conversation taking place outside of the room she was locked in. Ever since that strange man led her to this place—God knows what it looked like or where it was situated—she had been blindfolded, cuffed, and trapped in a room alone.It smelled weird, too, as if the place hadn’t been used for a very long time and neither the windows had been opened, letting the warm rays of the sun and the fresh air in. Oddly, Dhara felt cold and uneasy, her skin prickling with weird sensations.It was only when the hushed noises of two people conversing reached her ears that she realized someone else was there too. Earlier to this, the room had been awfully lifeless. Dhara was propelled to wonder if she was chucked into some harrowing dungeon of sorts
HEALER AND THE BEAST Past Life | When They Met For The First Time
After traveling for three days and two nights, Selene made it to a small village on Snowdrop mountain, a heavenly town in the snowy mountains where the ceremony of the Moon shower was organized once every seven years. They considered the day to be auspicious; the moon was said to be brighter and bigger than ever.However, instead of settling in the town and getting a room for rent, Selene camped on the outskirts of the deep and dark forest that surrounded the village. She had the money—her father had given her enough to last her for a month—but she felt more at ease lingering close to nature instead of the bustling town where only werewolves were known to live.It might also be because of the fact that she was there to take part in the ceremony. The thought made her jittery and a little nauseous. She wasn’t scared of the judgments in people’s eyes
