Chapter 51: Unrest WithinMink’s P.O.VI watched the packmates murmur about the disaster that had just hit us like a bolt from the blue. The Jammu pack led by Arsalan Ali, our long-standing rivals, had dared to send their beta into our territory, a brazen move that spoke volumes of their intentions. But now, with the beta lying dead at our borders, there was no denying the storm that brewed on the horizon. War was inevitable.I paced back and forth in my office, the tension palpable in the air as Ruksaar, Kashmira and Abhay stood in front of me, their faces drawn in concentration as they tried to comprehend the magnitude of the situation."We cannot afford to underestimate them," I declared, my voice firm despite the turmoil raging within me. "They will not rest until they have torn us apart, piece by piece."Eyes flickered with uncertainty, murmurs of doubt threading through the room like shadows in the night. "But Mink," Ruksaar spoke up, her tone laced with concern, "they outnumber

Chapter 53: Princess?Mink’s P.O.VAs Abhay and I stood in front of the tranquil Jharna on this quiet evening, the sound of water cascading down the rocks filled the air, creating a serene atmosphere around us. The light of the rising sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the landscape. It was one of those rare moments of peace amidst the chaos that had engulfed our lives lately.Abhay took a sip of his beer, his expression thoughtful as he gazed out at the flowing water. I watched him for a moment, envying his ability to find solace in something as simple as a drink.At that moment, I wished I could join him, to let go of all the worries and fears that had been weighing heavily on my mind since last afternoon."I envy you, Abhay," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I wish I could drink too, just so I could forget everything that happened today."Abhay turned to look at me, his eyes reflecting understanding mixed with a hint of concern."

Mink’s P.O.VAs I sit here, eight months pregnant and visibly showing, I can't help but feel the weight of impending motherhood pressing down on me. Every kick from within serves as a reminder of the life growing inside me, a life that I will soon be responsible for. But amidst the anticipation and joy, there's an undercurrent of unease, a feeling that the other shoe is about to drop soon.The news of Arsalan's Beta's death reached his Alpha much later than expected, a delay that was completely unexpected because I would have thought Sahil to have sent a telepathic message to his Alpha as soon as I had slashed his chest. But as to why that hadn't happened was now a cause for concern.However, we then stumbled upon a new discovery that went against our strategic planning and the reason why Sahil hadn't sent Arsalan a final cry for help became increasingly clear. Through meticulous research and observation, we've come to realize that our pack's ability to communicate with other wolves o

Chapter 57: Beginning of the InevitableMink’s P.O.VMy heart raced as I prowled through the fresh snow, my senses alert to every rustle and scent in the moonlit landscape. The tension hung thick in the air, a palpable beginning to the impending clash. I glanced at Ruksaar, Kashmira, and Abhay, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of determination and fear, mirroring her own emotions.The distant howl of Alpha Arsalan echoed through the trees, sending a shiver down my spine. It was time.With a silent signal, we surged forward, a blur of fur and fangs, our packmates at our heels. As we neared the clearing, I caught sight of the imposing figures of Alpha Arsalan and Alpha Daksh, flanked by their formidable pack.“It's time. Do everything you can to defend this pack and yourselves, may the Moon Goddess be with us.” I said.Ruksaar, with her sleek black coat, her movements fluid and calculated. She engaged in a fierce duel with Alpha Daksh's beta, teeth bared and claws slashing. With a swi

Abhay’s P.O.VBracing my uninjured hand on the snow, I got up into a seated position and took a peak at my shoulder. The black wolf had dug through skin and bones and if I wasn’t mistaken, left one of its fangs embedded into my shoulder. But that was the least of my worries. The cold was making me numb, unable to feel the pain, and for now, that was a good thing.I stood up on unsteady feet and immediately, blood gushed down my arm and soaked the sleeves of the coat to drip down onto the snow. And that was when I saw it. I saw my dream unfolding right in front of my eyes.The blood dripping onto the snow. The gushing waters of the Jharna in front of me. And the plain soaked with blood behind.“This is it.” I whispered to myself. This was how my life ended. This is what the heavens have been preparing me for through my dreams.I turned back slowly, finally facing the battlefield and it wasn’t at all like my dreams. Yes, the field was soaked in blood, but it was also filled with the mot
