JAYDEN’S P.O.V. The farewells are never easy, and the same was the case with me. Mom and dad have deliberately not informed the entire clan that I was moving to India, permanently, or as permanently my family would allow me to. I know I would have to travel to and fro quite a lot. I mean, if mom – who had never seen Whitakers until she turned sixteen – had to travel to Romania to meet them every two-three months, then well, I would be glad if I don’t see my family every two weeks. Well, I am not glad that I would not see my family, I mean they are the best, but hey, India is almost fourteen hours away, and even with our high powered La Gualias jet, it is at least twelve hours away, it would be very tiresome! “You will come back and say goodbye to everyone as soon as you are sure you want to live there,” Mom stressed as we gathered in the foyer and so many men loaded my luggage in the car. Nash was shocked with the sheer number of bags I had. ‘For a girl who wears only training b
NASH’S P.O.V. One month ago! “Alpha,” I knocked and entered. Alpha Dimitri was sitting in his chair, working intently on his laptop. No, actually, he was frowning at his laptop! “Ah, Nash, come in, my boy,” Alpha Dimitri smiled as he looked at me. I nodded and entered. “Please have a seat,” he pointed opposite him. “How are you, Alpha?” I asked seriously. Because what I wanted to ask of him needed him to be in good mood. And he rarely was in a good mood. “My daughter is back and healthy, I have a new son, I am wonderful,” he spoke jovially. And I grimaced. “But you don’t look or sound wonderful, what happened?” he demanded, his perceptive gaze never missing a thing. “Dad!” I started. And Alpha sighed. “You father called me this morning, yes. I had sent out notice to him last night that Jayden was released from hospital and we have announced about your union to our entire clan,” Alpha started. “That’s how he knew,” I cursed softly. “He is –” I started. “Asking
NASH’S P.O.V. I slumped back in my seat and stared at the Alpha. He was sitting in the same position but some how that sexiness had disappeared now and all I could see was alpha power rolling off him. And I swallowed. Damn it! Why was I even here without princess? She knows how to tackle her father but me… well… I contemplated calling princess here through mind link, yes, I am a coward in this sense, but the alpha started to speak, so I did not. “Nash, today, tomorrow, one month, one year, one day my daughter will leave her home and go with you to your country,” he started. And I nodded. One year! I thought perplexed but I didn’t comment. “You have known Jayden now, and you must have noticed she is different,” he continued, and I nodded again. “I, her mother and I, we have raised Jayden differently. She is a free-spirited girl who loves her freedom. If sky is the limit then for Jayden, everything is limitless. She has never been an over demanding child. She has grown up knowing
JAYDEN’S P.O.V.Present day!I bid farewell to Jared and Taron uncle and boarded our plane. As it started to take off, Nash took my purse and gave it to the airhostess for safe keeping. “Oh, my phone,” I spoke and pulled it out. “I have promised mom to text her every three hours,” I smiled. A jingling clinking sound of bottles from my purse echoed in otherwise silent plane and Nash raised his eyes at me. “Every three hours?” Nash asked. “Yep!” I nodded happily as airhostess brought drinks for us. “And what if we are busy?” he asked naughtily. “Then we will take a break!” I replied, laughing. The plane took off and I bid farewell to my family through mind link. I could tell they were incredibly sad, but they didn’t show it to me now. I know they did not wish to upset me any more. “I love you,” he spoke as he kissed my cheek. I knew he could see sadness on my face. “I love you too,” I sighed. “Nothing else could have made me leave my family, you know!” And he grinned
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. We landed in the cover of dark, and I could barely see anything around. “Welcome home, my princess,” Nash grinned as he grabbed my hand and we stepped out of the airplane together. The first I noticed was how hot it was here. Being raised on the ocean shores, I have learnt to live in humid environment, but this was way too hot and humid. “You will get used to it,” he grinned as he saw me wipe my forehead for sweat. A convoy of six cars was waiting for us. And the moment we stepped out of the plane, people of all six cars stepped out, and out came running Devi, Nash’s sister. “You are here,” Devi screamed as she hugged, not Nash, but me…! I was taken aback for a moment but then I hugged her back. “You won’t believe for how long I have been waiting for you to come home.” She exclaimed excitedly. “Seriously?” I asked, confused. Someone cleared throat and I saw Nash’s mom standing just behind Devi. “Mom, let me present to you your future daughter-in-law,”
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I didn’t understand what he meant but I didn’t comment much. He had warned me about his dad before though, if not about his mother or sister! I mean come on, who does not know how to fight. His mother was no where to be seen, she must have headed inside. How weird and rude! If I were to return home even after a week, my mom would have walked inside with me… talking, laughing, and making us feel welcome! And here was Nash’s mother, so cold! “So Devi, you don’t know how to fight or defend yourself?” I continued our conversation from before. “Nope,” she spoke as she hopped in her steps. “But what if you are attacked?” I demanded. “Then my security will fight for me,” she shrugged. “And you?” I demanded. “What would you do in the meantime?” “I will – well, I will let them fight for me!” and she shrugged again and grinned stupidly again. “And if you have no security around you?” I demanded. “Our security is not so lax that it would allow an alpha female t
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. I honestly did not know what to do or even how to react in this bloody fucked up situation. His father, oh my Goddess, his father was a bloody asshole. I took out my phone and started to type a message to my mom… ‘Mom, this is a fucked up place!’ I typed. But then thought how mom and dad would react to it. So, I deleted it. Instead, I typed, ‘Reached India, mom. All is fine. Talk to you tomorrow.’ I felt like I was cheating on my family by not telling them instantly what was wrong here. But how could I. I mean, I have no words. Nash is such a different person here. Back home, back in South Africa, he was all lovey dovey, protective, caring person. But now, here, in presence of his parents, he was nothing but a puppet who could not even look up at his own father. Alright, I understand, that alphas command a respect and almost no one is allowed to look them even in the eyes out of respect, but hello! He was his son… I not just looked my father, the alpha, in his ey
JAYDEN’S P.O.V. “Hypocrite, I know,” Devi grinned. “But this is what it is… And sooner you learn to adjust, the sooner you will move to our floor, in your mate’s room.” “So!” I growled, “your parents have kept me here to teach me a lesson or to tame me?” “I don’t know Jayden, but all I know is that it is what it is…” Devi sighed. I picked up a bag to pull out my training clothes. In a mood like this, I really wanted to go for a run… “Don’t bother unpacking, I will get girls tomorrow to unpack for you,” Devi flapped her hand in my direction. “I want to go for a run,” I spoke as I pulled out my running clothes and Devi’s eyes popped open. “Where is your top?” she demanded. “What top?” I asked. “To put on top of that,” she pointed at my sports vest. I chewed my tongue, but I did take out a top to put on my vest. “But even in that, you would not be able to go out,” she sighed. “We have a gym on the ninth floor, you can go there. I can give you my key card.” “I canno
