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.The sudden vibrations on the side desk woke me up! Grunting, I picked up my phone and answered without even looking at the caller id. Because had I seen the name on my screen, I would never have picked the damn call up.“Are you still asleep?” my father’s voice boomed on the other end of the line. “Avinash, when on Earth would you learn be responsible? How will you ever shoulder responsibilities?” he ranted on.“It is ---” I yawned heavily as I got up and squinted at the sharp sunrays that were burning my already droopy eyes. “It is Nash, dad! And it is too early for you to be shouting at me.”“Damn it, Avinash,” my dad snapped. I flinched at his stubbornness. He would never stop calling me by ‘his’ given name. Damn my name! Avinash Singh Randhawa… Heir to the biggest empire of the Indian subcontinent. My father, the prime alpha of the region, and the man with highest net worth in the country that has more than one billion population. And in the world, he was the fourth
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.“Ah, I always love visiting Switzerland,” Jared exclaimed as he stretched and stepped out of the charter plane that our dad owns. Most of our lives, we have travelled via this plane. And we travel so frequently that this plane is like my second home, well, after the Whitaker mansion in Romania – technically, that is my second home because we visit it thrice per year… and while I do not mind going to meet granddad Whitaker and big-ma Sharia, the travel is always a pain. It is just too damn far away!I grimaced as I felt weird. I have been feeling weird ever since we entered the Swiss airspace, it was like a tug, or should I say a pull in my gut that told me I needed to land immediately.“Cheer up, Jay,” Jared shook my shoulders, trying to get a smile out of me. But I was feeling hopeless. “Do you remember when we were here last?” he asked, beaming.“Yeah, how can I forget!” I rolled my eyes.“Always remember the worst, I remember it as the day mom and dad got married. W
NATE’S P.O.V.I had never smelled anything so intoxicating in my life. It was a combination of lavender, roses and lemongrass, such unique smell that it was just blowing my mind. And Zeus, well, Zeus was beyond control. And it was a combination of this amazing smell and the pull I was feeling in my gut for the past few hours that forced me to the gate. I was sure that the flowers that were emitting this fragrance were there, at the gate where I had seen a lot of flowers, I think at least… I anyway wanted to escape the baleful presence of my father, who was giving my present bed mate pointed looks – looks that were a mixture of disgust and hatred. And yes, her name was not Cindy or Emily, it turned out to be Clarice. I found out about it when she gave me her passport for travel to Switzerland. Yes, she came with me to Switzerland, well, come on, I had to bring her along, she was very persuasive when she had her little mouth wrapped around my d*ck. And she was just well, a must have on
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.Could goddess be so cruel? I asked Faye as I ran back to mom.“Is everything alright?” Jared asked with a concern.I just shook my head and rushed to sit in the car.“Why is she crying?” dad asked in a worried tone. “Jay, did anyone hurt you?” he demanded. His alpha aura rolling out in anger. Even the mere thought of anyone laying their unwanted hands on me rose fury in my dad. He was ultra protective!I shook my head again.“Let us go. I will talk to her later,” I heard mom tell dad and she climbed back in the car followed by Jared and we all were taken inside. If I had looked around, I would have noticed how beautiful and serene the compound was. How a sterling lake was in the centre of it and how swans were swimming in it. But my heart was heavy. And my eyes were clouded. Faye was showing me the scene over and over again. She was obsessing over the boy who clearly belonged to another girl. Why else would he kiss her like that?‘Maybe because he is also a playboy lik
NASH’S P.O.V. I was annoyed with Clarice. She had kept me glued to her lips and like a drug addict, I found it hard to let go. Damn! Zues was epically annoyed with me, because I delayed seeing the face of our mate. Hope she was as beautiful and as incredible as I have always wanted her to be. But, on top of it, I sincerely hoped she was a ‘she’, I thought again and prayed to the Goddess. But does Goddess grant wishes that are shallow? Well, I was shallow, I know it. I am the fucking alpha of the largest population of the world, well, future alpha, so I had a reputation to maintain. Oh Goddess, please do not grant me an ugly Luna! I was walking here and there searching for the source of the scent. I never had a preference for flowers till date, but now, lavenders were my favourite, roses being second. Thankfully my mom and dad were in council meeting now, and while they had dragged me here to showcase my face to the other regions and heirs, I was not allowed to sit in the meeting.
NASH’S P.O.V.‘Avinash, come and join us for dinner in the dining room,’ my mother’s voice rang in my head.‘Coming,’ I replied immediately and walked in the direction from where the smell of food was wafting. I never minded mom calling me Avinash, well, how could I, she is mom...‘And leave that friend of yours behind, I do not wish to see her here,’ my mother snapped in my head and I felt she had shouted in rage.‘She has to eat!’ I complained.‘Make her eat in the bed you are so fondly sharing,’ my mother spoke in the same agitated tone and I felt the mind link close.Clarice did not belong to our pack in India, she belonged to the French pack, and hence I could not mind link her. So I quickly texted her that she should stay in the room and I will come find her once all the drama with my family was done.She just replied with a thumbs up, and then another message popped up on my WhatsApp. It was an image. I looked around to ensure I was alone and opened it.It was Clarice, topless,
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.“Did he just growl?” Jared asked, perplexed. He was staring at Avinash, so was I, and it seemed like so was everyone.But I could not believe it. He growled. While I was not looking at him, I could feel his eyes on me since the moment I had stepped in the dining room, and I liked the feel of it. He was handsome, incredibly so, but before I develop more attachment towards him, I needed to understand him. All I knew as of now is that he was shallow and a playboy, but I knew nothing else about it.‘He is perfect, Jayden,’ Faye snapped in my head.“Why do I sense I know what is happening here?” Jared demanded as he pulled me out of the dining room.“What is happening?” I asked my brother as I tried to compose my face. I wonder what was reflected on it.“You like him,” Jared concluded.‘What’s not to like?’ Faye snapped.“Umm, even Faye like him?” Jared looked alarmed. “The way she is snapping at me!”Oh damn! I forgot to close my mind to him.‘Great, thank you!’ Faye spoke
