Chapter 31: A Sight to BeholdAbhay’s P.O.VEverything else seemed to fade away as soon as I laid my eyes on my Firangi.Mikalya wore a black sweater paired with jeans and snow boots, her wild hair blowing back in the chilly mountain winds and her ocean blue eyes wide in surprise. Ruksaar clapped her hands together in joy and pulled Mira away from my side along with her son, but those all felt like afterthoughts, registered in my mind but with only hazy concentration because the centre of my focus was Mikalya. My Firangi.A smile formed on my lips as I took in her clothing once again. It suited her. Not that she didn’t look gorgeous in traditional Gujarati clothes or wouldn’t look good in any other kind of clothing, but this…this just felt like the real Mikalya. The tomboy with the heart of gold. A woman with icy white hair and blue eyes who seemed completely out of place in India but was very much a woman of this soil.This was the love of my life, the one woman that Mira had called

Chapter 33: Accepting FateMink’s P.O.VAs I stood at the edge of the Jharna, the icy wind biting at my skin, I couldn't help but feel a sense of overwhelming isolation. The roar of the waterfall filled my ears, drowning out any other sound, echoing the turmoil within me. I stared into the abyss below, watching the water cascade down into the cavernous depths, its sheer power mesmerizing yet chilling.My gaze fell upon my hands, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. The sight of the blood staining my skin was a stark reminder of the darkness that lurked within me. No matter how hard I tried to escape it, the guilt of my past actions always haunted me, a constant weight upon my soul."I can never truly accept anyone into my life," I whispered to myself, the words barely audible over the roar of the waterfall."I'm not worthy of love or friendship. I'm a murderer."The admission hung heavy in the frigid air, the truth of it cutting me to the core. I had taken lives, extinguished the li

Chapter 35: The First Female AlphaMink’s P.O.VAs I sat across from Ruksaar, her words hung in the air like a heavy mist. I was trying to bare my insecurities, my mind filled with worries and doubts, and now she was asking me if that was all my concerns amounted to.It was a casual question, one that caught me off guard, considering the weight of the issues I had brought to attention. Ruksaar, with her poised demeanor and unwavering strength, had always been the epitome of a beta - someone I admired and respected. But her nonchalant response left me reeling, unsure of how to proceed."Why, yes," I replied hesitantly, taken aback by her question. "They are pressing concerns, Ruksaar."Ruksaar leaned back in her chair, studying me with a keen gaze. "And do you think those concerns are truly as significant as you make them out to be?""Yes," I admitted, feeling a pang of self-doubt creeping in. "I had lived with the weight of my guilt all my life, Ruksaar, you’re a witness to that. How

Chapter 37: The Alpha’s CallingMink’s P.O.VI stirred in my sleep, vaguely aware of the persistent banging on my door. It took a few moments for the sound to penetrate my slumber-clouded mind and for me to realize that someone was rapping urgently against the wood.As the noise grew louder and more insistent, I groaned, dragging myself reluctantly from the warm embrace of my blankets while Abhay slept soundly beside me."Who could be pounding on my door like a maniac at this ungodly hour?" I muttered to myself, rubbing my eyes sleepily as I stumbled across the room. The predawn darkness enveloped me like a heavy cloak as I fumbled for the doorknob, my fingers clumsy with sleep."Ruksaar, is that you?" I called out groggily, my voice thick with exhaustion. The pounding continued, growing even louder and more frantic with each passing moment. With a frustrated sigh, I swung the door open, fully prepared to give Ruksaar a piece of my mind for disturbing my much-needed rest.But as soon

The arrival of new wolves meant more than just an increase in numbers; it meant a greater need for organization, direction, and unity.As the pack gathered around the newly constructed pack house, I observed the newcomers mingling among themselves with enthusiasm. There was a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation in the air, tempered only by the realization that with new members came new challenges and responsibilities.
