Ragini's Monologue :

I wrapped my arms around my knees, pulling them close to my chest as I sat down on the kitchen counter with my chin placed tentatively on my knees.

I sniffled as I gazed down at the cold, dark marbled counter I was sitting on.
Don’t exactly know why but since I was a little child, I always liked to sit on the counter, just high enough for my legs to dangle off the ground freely. It was much more fun than sitting on a chair or a sofa.

Weird? I know.

A tired sigh escaped my lips as I thought of the incident that occurred just half an hour back. I knew it wouldn’t take him long until he find me. After everything that happened, I was sure that he must be having a hard time staying away from me. The urge to comfort your upset mate is very overwhelming.

FLASHBACK to half an hour ago in Ragini's POV :

I was comfortably curled up into one of the sofa sets in the living room with a book in my hand. Stars always fascinated me. I don’t know the reason behind my admiration for them but they never fails to entrap me in a trance. So naturally, star gazing and reading books about them is my hobby.

Engrossed in my own world I failed to notice footsteps approaching in my direction.

“Luna.” A sudden voice out of nowhere startled me as I jumped on my spot, scrambling out of the sofa set immediately.

Hands clammy with sweat, my nerves skyrocketed in a second. Scared I tried to create as much distance as possible between myself and the stranger in front of me.

My eyes anxiously darted around in the room for any sign of the Alpha.

“Luna !!! Are you okay?” The man approached me again causing me to panic. My breathing became labored while I tried to scurry away from him.

To my bad luck, I lost my footing and ended up falling on my butt.

The fact that I’m mute didn’t help the situation either. I couldn’t even scream.

I don’t know who this man is and right now I don’t even care. I’ve high social anxiety disorder and the situation is not helping the case either. The only reason that I’m comfortable with the Alpha is only because of the mate bond.

Noticing me having problem breathing, the man backed away instantly. Before I could relax, he came back again holding a glass of water.

I was about to shake my head in denial, rapidly waving my hand at him, a gesture meant for him to stay away but it seems that he leaned forward at the same time. The glass knocked onto my leg and the water soaking the bottom part of my dress.

Lips quivering in fear and anxiousness, I somehow tried to stand up off the floor while the stranger crouched down near me. He grabbed some napkins from the table, rubbing them over my dress, trying to dry it, all the while mumbling his apology.
I was far more worried about getting away from this unknown male than my dress.

“GET OFF OF HER !!!”

A deep animalistic growl came from the entrance.

I looked up at the source of the sound, my eyes barely registering his next movement.

Faster than I can blink, the man is ripped off me and slammed roughly to the wall.

Alpha pinned him to the white wall, his hand pressed tightly against the man’s throat who was struggling desperately to get away.

I would’ve screamed at the moment if I had the ability to speak as another ferocious growl ripped from his chest, his head snapping in my direction instantly.

Through my eyes I pleaded him to let go off the man. I was never the one to like violence but the look in his bloodshot red eyes frightened me.
Something, so feral, so deadly, so animalistic amd monstrous. So unlike, the man I came to know these past few days.

His wolf, Viraat was in control.

The urge to dominate, kill and hurt, burning brightly in his eyes in the most primal of ways.

The raw passion and possessiveness shining in his eyes forced me to step back.

It reminded me of the dangerous predator, this species is always believed to be.

My breath hitched in my throat as he turned over to look at the stranger again. Right arm moving swiftly as he aimed his fist at the man’s face.

A loud, sickening crunch resonated around the house.

The look in his eyes terrified me. I knew he would never hurt me but he is very much capable of not only hurting the man but possibly killing him too.

Having no other option left, I took a deep breath before carefully making my over to him, resting my hand on his shoulder. His muscles stiffened under my touch, his eyes moving over to me, still holding onto the man.
My heart clenched in fear and unconsciously I stepped back trying to stay as far away from him as possible.

A cruel need to possess took over in his glowing red eyes. The mate bond let me know what he was feeling.

“MINE!! ”

Growling, he yanked me to his hard muscular chest, dragging his nose up and down my jaw softly sniffing my scent as I tremble in his hold.

“She’s Mine.” He glared menacingly at the man while the poor lad nodded his head frantically.

Gradually, his hold on the man loosened slightly, his attention diverting on to me.

I motioned the stranger to go away hurriedly. Not liking the idea of someone else getting hurt because of me.

Hesitantly, I wrapped my arms around him for a moment before pulling away. With my hands on his chest, I tried to push him off but he growled loudly in response.

“Mine.”

A tear trailed down my cheek causing his eyes to soften at the sight. His red eyes followed my every move not pleased with the distance his mate is creating between them.

“Mate”

A soft whimper escaped his lips as he reached out to me.

The need to comfort his mate so desperate in his eyes, the dangerous red was now filled with deep sorrow.

“Babymate.”

Although I had no doubt it wouldn’t be too long until he find me I didn’t knew it would be so soon.

I stayed in my spot, not acknowledging him as I heard him step closer.

A muscular arm snaked around my waist, holding me to his warm, toned chest.

Recovering from the shock, I glared at him accusingly, pointing to the counter.

“Well, that can be arranged Princess.”
Before I had the time to understand anything, I was put down onto my feet and the next thing I know, he hopped on the counter with me sitting in between his legs with my back firmly pressed against his chest.

“See sweetness. It’s difficult for me to see you with another man. Werewolves are extremely possessive over their soulmate. I am sorry that I made you upset but I’ll never be sorry for hurting that man. It’s something I couldn’t control.”

Sighing, I decided to forgive him.
After all, Swara did told me that Alpha’s are extremely possessive over their mate.

The Alpha looked up at me expectatntly, looking rather cute to me.

Smiling, I signed to him. He stared at my hands hard with concentration.

“What was that?” His charcoal eyes lightened up with a child like curiosity.

I smiled again, rolling my eyes. Though it was barely there still it was a smile. And that means a lot for someone who rarely smiles.
I signed it again while he stared at it intently.

Grabbing his hands, I mimicked the motion again raising a brow at him expectantly.

Smiling, he did the sign back to me. This time without my help. His eyes held adoration as he gazed over at me.

“Now, what does that means Babymate? You better not teasing me little one.” Shaking my head at his antics, I mouthed. “I forgive you.”

“Oh.” He whispered in realization.

SANSKAR’S MONOLOGUE :

I continued to stare at the beautiful mate of mine as she turns the page of the novel, her eyes furrowed in deep concentration. Her tiny nose scrunched adorably as she sniffles.

A few sigh escaped out of my lips, as I watch different emotions dancing in her eyes with each turn of page.
For once in my life, I was silent. Content with everything. And the sole reason behind the change sitting lazily across me.

Tiny pearl like droplets trickled down her black doe eyes.

My feet found their way to her on their own accord. Her midnight black orbs widened in surprise as I gently placed her on my lap.

A feeling of pure, raw pleasure shot through me as she subconsciously curled into my large, muscular body. It were as if I was made to hold her. Shaped in a way that she would be most comfortable and fit perfectly in my arms.

My eyes traveled from her petite frame to the book in her hands, darting quickly over the words. My lips turned down into a frown as I realized that the idiotic male protagonist just now decided to reminisce all the problems in his life.

“Would it be cruel of me if I decide to hunt down that moronic author right now?” Viraat piped in between my thoughts and I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Stupid author. Stupid book.

Why can’t all books have only happy things?

My eyes glazeed over at the mark on her slender neck.

“Our mark.” Viraat again butt in between, puffing out his chest proudly at the sight.

“Beautiful.”
Without thinking, I pressed a delicate kiss over the soft, creamy flesh, my lips morphing into a smirk as I feel her body shudder against my touch.

Retracting back, I looked at her teasingly while she tried hard to hide her rising blush from my sight.

“Don’t you have some sort of work to do Mister? You’re always lounging out around in the house?” Though I’m getting better at the sign language I still haven’t mastered it so my Babymate decided to carry a notepad and a pen with her everywhere.

“Well, I would rather stay here with you and kiss you all night long. Didn't you say you want that huh?” I smirked, winking at her while taking a gulp of water from the glass resting beside me.

Seriously, teasing her is one of my favourite thing to do. The red that spread across her rosy cheeks is just so enticing to look at.

But what I didn’t expect was her next action.

Spitting out the water in shock, I stared at my mate with my jaw hung open.

“MATE WINKED BACK AT US !!!!!”
Viraat continued to yell in my mind giving me a headache.

If you liked this part then please vote and comment.

I would love to read what you think about this story and especially Viraat.
