Chapter 41: Endless NightmareAbhay’s P.O.VIt was snowing again. The ground was completely white.This part of the valley didn’t usually get much snow, but it was unusually cold this year. And I knew that it would only get colder, winter only a whisper in the air and yet it howled with a ferocious chill all around me.I looked at the waterfall in front of me, untouched by the winter chill. Jharna, that was what we called it. The literal Hindi translation of a waterfall, but it just sounded right to us. It was freezing outside but I knew it would be nice and warm inside the pack house. It would also be noisy with the new packmates. But I liked that noise. It was welcoming. It was home. And so was she.Something dropped to the ground at my feet, distracting me from the view. A sense of déjà vu threatened to overwhelm me as I looked down to see what it was. It was only a speck in the vast sea of snow but it stood out amongst the white. It was in the shape of a tiny droplet but the warmt

Chapter 43: It’s a DateMink’s P.O.VThe next day dawned with a crispness that energized every fiber of my being. I couldn't wait to spend the day exploring the valley with Abhay. This wouldn’t be the first time we went on a date, but I was especially ecstatic because this time, I was the one taking him out, unlike the dates that Abhay usually took me on when we were in Gujarat.As we embarked on our journey down the hill, I felt a sense of excitement bubbling within me, mingled with a touch of nervousness. I wanted everything to be perfect, especially today."Isn't it breathtaking?" I exclaimed, gesturing towards the sprawling landscape before us. The valley stretched out like a vast canvas painted in shades of green and gold, dotted with colorful wildflowers that swayed gently in the breeze. It was a sight to behold, one that filled me with a sense of wonder and awe.Abhay nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting the beauty of our surroundings. "It's truly magnificent," he replied,

Chapter 45: Trouble in ParadiseMink’s P.O.VAs I approached the soldier, my heart raced with anticipation. The letter in his hand was crucial, a message that could change the course of our pack's future. But the stain of blood on it made my stomach churn with unease."I'll take that letter, Abhijeet." I said, extending my hand.Just as the soldier began to hand it over, a voice cut through the air. "Hold on a moment," Abhay said, striding towards us with purpose."I'll be taking that letter instead."I frowned, confused, knitting my brows together. "Abhay, what are you doing?" I asked, my tone tinged with irritation. "This is pack business."Abhay's jaw tightened, but he didn't falter. "I know," he replied cryptically, reaching for the letter. “But I think it’s better if I read it first, just in case.”Abhay took the letter from Abhijeet’s hands and he excused himself, rushing out quickly and leaving only the three of us alone in the office. Since there was no one else to witness wha

Chapter 47: Stay Away From My MateMink’s P.O.V"Stay away from my mate!"As I stood in front of Abhay, my heart pounded with a mixture of fear and determination. I squared my shoulders, ready to face whatever threat came our way. The intruder, a man with a menacing aura, rose from the ground with a laugh that grated against my nerves. His gaze pierced through me, and I could feel the weight of his scrutiny."You thought you could hide from us forever, little wolf," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "But here you are, cowering behind your weak human mate."I clenched my fists, refusing to let his words shake me. "We're not hiding from anyone," I retorted, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "We've chosen to live in peace, away from your pack's tyranny."The man's laughter echoed in the clearing, mocking and cruel. "Peace? Is that what you call it?" he scoffed."You've stolen away half of our Alpha's wolves, thinking you could build your own litt

Chapter 49: Withheld Secrets Part 2Abhay’s P.O.VThe air hung heavy between us as I stepped back from my Firangi, her eyes searching mine for any hint of what was to come. I could feel the weight of the secret I was about to reveal pressing against my chest, a heavy burden that I could no longer bear to carry alone.I knew that this day would come sooner rather than later, and since Mink had trusted me enough to share one of her biggest secrets, it only seemed fair that I reciprocate by baring my own truth.Taking a deep breath, I finally gathered the courage to speak. "Mink, there's something I need to tell you," I began, my voice faltering slightly despite my efforts to keep it steady. "I've been hiding something from you for some time now, and I think it's only fair that you know."Mink's expression shifted, a mixture of surprise and concern flickering across her features. "What is it, Abhay?" she asked softly, her tone filled with apprehension.I hesitated for a moment, grappling
