I woke up as I heard some voices.

"Yes she is doomed now that, she is back here."
"Of course bloody bitch thought she could run."

"Hey I think she is not that bad."
"Bad she is trouble, I would have killed her if I was her mate."

I heard whisperings all around.

"Silence everyone", someone said I could not see his face because of blurry vision but as I tried to open my eye, I saw my mate standing there.

"She is going to be punished, but before that do you want some entertainment." The voices raised agreeing with him and the atmosphere sounded with "yups" and"yeahs".

"Well this worthless mate of mine is gonna have a combat with Athselia, our female warrior."

Who the hell is this Athselia? As I tried to search , I saw RI standing there.

RI, RI oh my god I knew this you would come for me. Please save me from them.

But I was shocked when she walked towards me with a smirk. Forwarding her hand she introduced herself to me " Athselia, Athselia Black moon. Nice to meet you lady. But I am not RI."

"No you are RI, I know. I know you are playing with me na. Please RI this is not the time I swear do anything after we are out of here but right now, right now we need to leave. Let's go"
I said gripping her wrist as I tried to pull her with me.

"Woah, woah lady calm down already, I am not some.. Ri, I told you that, didn't I . And you surely don't know me neither do I so you better stay away from me", she said jerking my arms away.

"I am definitely gonna play a game with you and trust me a tough one so you better stay prepared.. By the way If you're so scared to fight then, I might talk to Alpha, you know he really listens to me. " She said winking at me.

"Now if you two are done, can we start the fight." The alpha scowled.

"Of course Alpha I'm all ready " RI.. Athselia chirped in.
God I may like RI but this version of her is surely someone despicable. I don't care if she is strong but I'm not gonna give up. I never give up. Yeah! That's the spirit, I can do this.

"I'm ready too..", I said confidently looking at The Alpha.

We both circled around each other as we waited for each other to attack. Seeing her unwillingness to move I moved forward and punched her right on her eye. But before I could do anything she caught my hand and twisted it around my back. I whimpered in pain as my bones cracked. I tried to free myself but her grip was far stronger.

She lifting me high in the air threw me down cracking my backbone. I tried to get up but my body was not supporting me neither were my wounds helping.

She moved forward but before she could throw another fist at me I rolled away. I knew she was stronger so I had to play smart. Because intelligence is a tool much more powerful than physical strength.

I sat on my knees with a plan in my mind. I caught her ankles and pulled her down from back. She fell down face first on the ground .
As soon as she hit the floor I climbed up on her back and started punching her hard not giving her anytime to react till she fell unconscious.

At least that's what I thought until she got up laughing hard like a maniac. I was confused and scared too so I moved back and .. and I fell down into a deep hole. I saw RI and Alpha's smiling face, oh my god this was their plan to get rid of me.

No I shouted as I fell down.

Everything was dark, all I saw was a dark hole, a dark deep never ending hole engulfing me. My breath was getting harder with each passing second till I got up.
I was panting hard. Thank God, it was , it was just a dream, no actually a nightmare I thought as I wiped the sweat off of my face.

I looked for the water jug but it was empty.
I got up to get some water but could not get that weird dream out of my head.
______

As the alpha returned back to the palace he went directly to the room his mate was kept in. Just to make sure that she was still in there. He had this strange foreboding feeling that something was wrong.

He saw the panicked faces of the guards standing with cabir as he came near the place.
They lowered their heads as they saw him.

"What, what's wrong?", He asked wishing not to hear what he was thinking it to be.

"Al.alpha, Alpha"the guards stammered scared of the gigantic beast standing Infront of them.

"What, are you going to speak further?", He yelled. His face paled with the mere thought of his mate running away.

"Alpha, she..She went."

"What the fu""ing hel.... how long?"
"Alpha she was...."he was cut down in the middle as he tried to explain

"I asked how long before did it happen."
"An hour ago.."

"Kabir ask the gamma to tighten the security at borders and to make sure no one, I mean no one leaves the pack. "

"Yes, Alpha."
"And send search teams right away at all the corners. She would not have went farther.
I will myself come", he said with eyes red in anger.

"As you say, king" he said showing respect and his authority over them all.

Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours but she was not was found. The searches turned out to be futile and ineffectual.

There was no way they could enter the other territories at night although the alpha could but he didn't want a new tension. So they decided to rest the mission till morning.

Later in the Alpha's room

Alpha was sitting quietly in his office tapping his fingers at the table when the two guards entered in.

"What were you two doing ,when it happened?, He asked in the most intimidating way.
Although he was quite, his silence seemed to them the one before a rising Storm.

"Alpha we were there itself the whole time, we didn't not leave her alone even for a second",spoke the first guard scared.

"Yes Alpha, I swear on my unborn baby we were there only", cried the other.

"You fools didn't I tell you to be careful around her", he said standing up and slapping his desk hard.

"Alpha but the last time we checked she was in there. I don't know where did she went after that?"

"Toh what did she disappear or vanished, haan. Don't talk like fools. I should have never trusted you two. You didn't deserve it but now you will get what you called for."
saying this he twisted his finger in the air.

And in the next second the two of them lay lifeless on the floor.

He threw the things down from his desk shattering the glass vase. He slapped away the books and files in his shelf trying to calm his anger by taking it out on all the lifeless thing. Breaking and Destroying them was giving a different kind of peace. It was helping him to get rid of the unnerve feeling.

"M, calm down what's wrong with you? You never liked her and it's not like you guys were staying together anyway. So that's alright. You got rid of her without much trouble. You should be happy bro."

"Kabir why ain't you understanding if they smell my scent on her they will .. they will kill her damn it."

"So how does that matter let her die, she was anyhow fated for the same. Why do you care?", Kabir said as a matter of fact offering him a drink.

"It it's not like, I care for her. Its just my wolf which I'm worried about, you know. If she .. if she.., you know both Ryan and Damon will go crazy", He replied looking everywhere except cabir.

"Really? Have not you gained control over them in situations much worse than her to be death", kabir said in a sarcastic way.

"Kabirrr, for fu.k's sake damnit stop saying that over and over again. She's my mate goddamn it. I won't let anyone hurt her." His eyes turned redder as he spit those words. It was his vampire who was trying to take over him.

It scared him(kabir) to the death that the mere mention of this girl was making alpha lose his sanity. He was going weaker.

But he needed to clear few things not only for himself but for his friend too, who he knew was doing wrong with his mate.
He was just trying to bring out the least
emotions left in this man sitting Infront of him.

Though scared, he dared to say "Why the hell do you need to save her. She is weak, a stupid weak wolf. She can't even fight an average werewolf. She is a coward who eloped from her village and for moon's sake she do not deserve..." Before he could complete his sentence he was held up by his throat against the wall already choking he tried to escape but the grip was too strong for him to fight or get rid off.

As he struggled to free himself
"Don't you dare say that cabir, you are my Friend and that's the reason, I'm tolerating this bullshit of yours or I would have rip you apart long time back, you .."

He threw him down and turned around
"Really, I'm talking bullshit and what was that you were doing yesterday?"

"What the hell are you talking about?", He gritted.

"Don't fool me, I might be weak but neither am I blind nor am I stupid.
I heard Nandini whimpering in pain last night and I also saw you with that girl, you bas***d. You can't let her leave you, you can't let her die, neither do you want her with you. Then what the hell do you want, to make her suffer just because she is not what you expected her to be.

You know what I used to think you still have something inside their, in this piece of stone" , standing up, he said pointing at his heart.

"I thought someday, someday for at least someone you will change but you know what all my hopes were shattered when I saw that girl yelling crying and trying to rip herself. I thank God that she ran away. I wish for her sake that you never find her. You are a heartless moron.

Oh how can I forget You are that bastard who killed his own family just for a title,a throne and his greed. " Kabir shouted pushing him backwards.

"Kabir you are crossing limits damn it. Don't forget who's the Alpha", he said trying to suppress his anger.

"And about that I would suggest you not to assume things when you don't know the whole story.
Oh no! I forgot just because you are a jobless person you do have to use that useless good for nothing brain of yours for making story. Isn't it?", He said pointing at his head.

"Yes how can I forget you are the one who's giving me a living. You are the one, I am alive because of. But that doesn't fu..ing mean you would rule me. That doesn't mean I would let you do whatever. And you know what thank you for all that you did for me.

But I think it's high time now, it's the time to leave, to lessen some burden, to reduce some of the responsibilities from the shoulders of the big bad alpha. So goodbye Mr. Manik Dark Moon I wish to never show you my face again."

Hey how's it?? Did you guys like it? Well
finally Manik's name for the first time in the book. Did you guys noticed cabir always called him M and never used his full name. Hmm🤔.
