Aaron POV
I got out of the lift and started going towards dungeons. This is where we keep our prisoners . The rouges who trespass our territory and tries to harm others get locked in these cells and I take my precious time to kill them. It’s so much fun to watch them scream in pain. When life slowly drains from their eyes living nothing but a corpse. You'll say I am too cruel but I don't give a f**k. They are not saints. They deserve that.
Some rouges work for hunters and vampires by spying on werewolves. They are nasty creatures. Both hunters and vampires are our enemies. Hunters are not a big problem but those blood leeches are the worst. I hate them with all my might. Because of those blood leeches, we faced many difficulties seventeen years back.
When I was 5 years old, Vampires attacked our pack when my Dad was out of the country for some business. They took advantage of the situation and killed many wolves. Though I was only a kid, I witnessed those vampires killing our pack wolves. It was a dreading experience. But our pack fought with them with all their strength and won that war. Colton was in charge of pack then and he protected me and my mom with his life. when my dad got to know that he made sure to cease the existence of vampires in the whole country. Dad and Colton made sure to make our pack always remain strong and untouchable. And I am following the same path. I will make sure to diminish the existence of rouges and vampires from this world. They don’t have heart and kill anyone women, kids or human. That’s what I loth the most in them.
Now the rest is for other time. I got few things to finish now.
‘Is everything ready?’ I asked the guard as I entered there.
‘Yes alpha everything is ready just like you wanted.’ He bowed in front of me.
I nodded my head and went to my torcher cell. The rusty disgusting smell of blood and urine was all over the place. The wall had dried blood on them giving them scary look.The guards guarding the dungeons are trained for the worst. They are very strong and can handle any rebellious rouge easily.
The guards opened the door for me. It made screeching noise as it was rusty. The rouge whose name I think Enzo snapped his head towards my direction and I smirked at him liking all the efforts my guards put on him.
He was tied with silver shackles and looking like a skeleton. Silver is very poisoning for werewolves. The wound made with silver dragger can not be healed and leads to death. He was beaten badly barely alive. His body was covered with blood and nasty bruises caused by Thorn whip. Aww, so bad that I cannot torture him for more time. He will definitely die even before I get started. Guess I have to kill him without playing much.
“Release him.” I commanded.
The guards release him and he fell on the ground limp. The guards went out of the cell leaving the two of us alone.I drag the chair from the corner in front of him. He was shaking with fear as I drag the chair with screeching noise. I smirked. That’s what I wanted to see. Fear. Fear of what’s coming next.I sat in front of him in bossy posture.
“How are you? Doing great?” I asked him with a smirk.
He glared at me. It feels my guards didn’t beat him properly. I swung my leg directly to his face. He fell on the ground coughing blood.
“I guess you got to know very well that I don’t like being unanswered. So..” I pushed my chair behind and scoot in front of him.
“How are you?” I asked calmly.
“I- I a-am f-fi-fine.” He said still trying to breath properly. I didn’t even started and he is already loosing his breath.
“Fine? I see. So you won’t mind a little bit of warm-up. Right?” I asked him while cracking my knuckles.
“please don’t. I already told you I know nothing about them. Please let me go.” He pleaded.
“So what were you doing in my territory, Spying?” I asked him totally ignoring his pleads.
“Y..y..yes. I g-got m-money to do that but I swear I didn’t knew it was your territory. If I knew, I wouldn’t have agreed to them. Please believe me.” He said with desperation dripping from his face.
“Who asked you to spy on us?” I asked calmly.
“I don’t know. I got money indirectly, so I didn’t see them.” He said.
“So you are not lying? You don’t know anything?” I asked him while pressing his already broken fingers.
“NOoooo! I don’t know anything!I am not lying. Ple-please l-leave me.” He cried out in pain.
“Hmmm Ok. I believe you. Let’s talk about something else.” I said and left his fingers.
He looked at me suspiciously. I guess he knows that I don’t show any mercy on my prisoners. I smirked at him as he gulped loudly.
“Do you have a mate?” I asked him genuinely curious.“W-why do you ask?” he whispered.
I landed a sharp punch on his jaw. I am sure his jaw might have dislocated.
“Aaahhhhh” he spits out lots of blood.. Gross.
“Do.You.Have.A.Mate?” I asked him slowly and calmly.
“Yes yes.”he cried out.
“Is she a wolf?”
“W..what kind of question is this? Of course she is a werewolf.” He said. I got more angry.
“What would you do if you find out that your mate is human? Will you accept her?” I asked him with my deadly calm voice..
“Ye-yes I will. I would have never cared if she is a wolf or not. She is my mate is what matters the most.” He said.
I stared at him and didn’t say anything.
“I..is your mate is a human?” he asked me. I can clearly see the humor in his eyes. I clenched my fists.
“So the greatest, strongest alpha’s mate is a human?” he laughed.
“Do you wanna die early?” I asked him with clenched jaw. He stopped laughing and his face hardened.
“I know Alpha Aaron, you don’t let your prisoners live. I know I am going to die.” He said.
“Yes you are absolutely right. But I will make your death less painful.”I said truthfully as he doesn’t know anything about the people who asked him to spy on my territory.
“But… remember one thing alpha, they are coming. Be prepared.” He smirked wickedly.
That was the last straw. I choked him pressing his wind pipe tightly. He started to move like a fish out of water. I took a silver knife from my pocket and pushed it slowly into his chest. I applied slightly pressure and dragged it further.
He screamed loudly. That’s what I wanted to hear. Cries of pain. His face turned green as I kept my tight grip on his neck and pushed the knife more into his chest piercing his heart. He slowly fell limp on the ground. I smirked and stood up. I stared at him for some time seeing blood dripping from his chest and mouth. I went outside the room.
“Clean the mess.” I command my guards and started going out of the dungeons. One guard gave me a handkerchief to wipe the filthy blood from my hands. I wiped my hands clean and entered the lift. I pushed the buttons to the fifth floor.
I went out of the lift and started going towards my room. No one is allowed to enter my room. Not even maids, except Marie the head of maids. She is an old lady and very sweet. I trust her very much. She is like my second mother. She was also my nanny when I was little.When she is not available, I myself take care of my room. I have a priceless possession in my room and I only trust her with that. Yeah it's my little secret, but I won’t tell you. At least not now.
I entered my room and walked straight to the bathroom. I entered the shower cubicle. A cold shower is much needed to calm myself. As I closed my eyes letting cold water to do its work, face of my mate flashed in front of my eyes. She has the most pretty hazel eyes that I have ever seen. She is just… I cannot decipher in words. Innocence dripped from her face. She looked so innocent and vulnerable that I fear anyone could harm her. She looked so fragile and small. I was feeling many emotions at the same time, irritation, anger, amazement, fear and what not. Anger and amazement towards her and irritation towards my wolf. And fear…. towards myself. I am scared that I may do something I regret later. I am scared that Ashton might do something which will scare her and make me fall in deep s**t. f**k! She is a human who doesn’t know about this world of werewolves. Why Moon goddess, why? Why you gave me a human mate? If she was a werewolf, I would have rejected her till now and got over from that s**t. I wouldn’t have felt this confused and helpless.
Accepting her is not a choice. I don’t do commitments. I’ll definitely get bored of her and cheat on her. It would hurt her. And I don’t know why but even the thought of her getting hurt makes me want to rip whoever hurt her. If I accepted her, the pack will have a weak human Luna which will not be good for my pack.We are strongest and bringing a weak Luna can cause downfall of the pack. It’s not like no human has ever became Luna but it’s too risky. Pack looks at their Alpha and Luna. So the Alpha and Luna must make sure they create a strong image in front of their pack. And how can a weak human will do that? So no. Accepting her is not an option.
'Aaron you are thinking too much of future. Can’t you just live in present and give at least one chance to our mate.' Ashton growled.
We need to think about the future. We cannot have a weak Luna. I tried to explain him.
'How the hell you know that she is weak when you didn’t even meet her. We don’t know anything about her not even her name.' Ashton snapped angrily.
His voice paused me for sometime. He is right. I don’t even know her name. She looked new here. But that doesn’t make any difference. But to calm him down I decided to at least get to know her.
Fine. We’ll get to know her but if I didn't like what I see, you won’t bother me on this topic anymore. I tried to negotiate with him.
He rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
I sighed. I took a towel to dry myself and got out of bathroom. I quickly dried myself fully and slumped on the bed. I fall into sleep right then as my head hit the pillow. A much needed nap sounds good.

Nisha POV
“I’ll return your notes tomorrow.” I told Ahana as I started analysing the notes. Since I joined midterm, I needed to complete my backlog. Of course I am not gonna write them again. I will just print her notes. Her handwriting is understandable so I don’t have any problem. Now I just needed someone to help me with business management and I know from whom I can get the help.
Today I had my first lecture on that subject with seniors. And when the principal said no fresher opted for it, he was right. They were all seniors from the last year as I asked the student sitting beside me. His name was Rex and he was very nice. Noah was also present in the class. I guess he is in his last year of college. When he saw me, he looked very confused and he was about to come towards me but he stopped and turned towards other direction.
When the teacher entered the class, I was surprised to see the teacher whom I met at first day. His eyes fell on me and he gave me a small smile and started his lecture. His name was Ethan as I got to know.
And the whole time I felt someone’s eyes on me. And it was none other than Noah. He was staring at me with an undecipherable look. I shrugged it off and tried to concentrate on my lecture. When the lecture had ended Mr Ethan told me if I need help in this subject I can ask him anytime and he will be glad to help me. I smiled and thanked him.
“Oh God I missed the bus, now I have to wait for another one” Ahana groaned beside me as we walked out of the building.
“I’ll drop you.” I told her. She was late because of me as I needed her help and notes. So it’s not good to not help her with her problem.
“Really? I won’t be bother to you?” she asked me.
I shook my head and smiled.
“If you were bother to me, I wouldn’t have asked.”
“You are right. Let’s go.” She chuckled.
We went towards parking lot and I unlocked the car by my keys. It made a roar sound driving attention of some students. They were all staring at my car drooling. I got jealous because I don’t like when someone drool over my love. Yes my love. My cars are my first love. They are so beautiful that I won’t like anyone touch them without my permission.I watched Ahana as she stared at my car in shock and wonder.
“Ahana” I called her.
“Woah! Is this your car?” she asked with a shock.
“Yes it’s mine.”
“So you're not a scholarship student?”she asked with amazement.
I chuckled and shook my head.
“ let’s go or else we’ll be more late.” I said.
“Y-yeah let’s go.”
“I never sat in this type of expensive car.” She stated with amazement.
“Well now you did. And I will let you drive it someday if you promise me you won’t crash it” I said with raised eyebrows.
“Hell yeah” she said excitedly like a little girl who got her favorite candy.
I laughed at her and started the car.
I dropped Ahana at her place and started to drive towards the castle.
She lives in the city itself so it’s not much far from college but quite far from my place. I reached home at almost 5pm. I already texted aunt so that she wouldn’t get worried about me. I entered the house with my keys as aunt informed me she won’t be at home.
I went towards living area and saw Noah and Samantha sitting there watching TV. They glanced at me but I quickly went towards the stairs and started going towards my room. I entered the room and dropped my bag and myself on the bed on my stomach.
I am so tired and hungry too. But I don’t want to go downstairs. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. Suddenly the face of Aaron appeared in front of my eyes. I just saw him today and not even met, just saw. Still thinking about him makes my stomach churn in a funny way. He is so handsome and his lips.. I wanted to kiss him just to feel how soft his lips would be.
Aaaah! I need to stop thinking about him. Clearly something is wrong with me. I didn’t even have my first kiss yet, still I am thinking about what would feel like kissing the stranger I saw today. I buried my face in the pillow and screamed loudly. I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling. I don’t know when sleep started coming, but slowly darkness greeted me as I closed my eyes.
