Nisha pov
Luckily I survived the first day of college without any fight. It’s a surprise for me. I bid my goodbye to Ahana and went towards the parking lot searching for Noah and Samantha. It’s already 2:30 pm, that means college has already ended. I didn’t see them and neither their car. Did they left without me? Did they forget about me? It’s only 2:30, I am not late. I think they left already.
I sighed while looking towards sky. Dark clouds surrounding in the sky. I took my phone and thought of calling uncle or aunt. But wait! I didn’t even take their numbers.I should have taken atleast uncle’s number. Now how the sweetcake am I going to reach home? I really need my car. I think Uber will do. But again I don’t know the exact way. How can I be so dumb for not even paying attention towards my surrounding. I again looked at sky. Dark clouds already surrounded the sky ready to pour anytime. Please don’t rain. I mentally prayed. I like rain but it’s not the time to play with rain. I think I have to find my way towards the home on my own.
I exited the college premises. There were only few students left there. I tried to remember my way back. I plug my earphones and pulled the head of my hoodie up and started my not so short walk.
After almost 30 minutes walk, I reached the gates of the kingdom. I mean the property of Carters. It already started raining on my way back. I was totally drenched and shivering badly. My legs were hurting from the long walk. Another 30 minutes walk from here. Uhhhhh! Oh God please have mercy on your little child.
I walked towards the gates. As I was about to open them, they suddenly opened startling me. I stumbled few steps backwards. A man in his late forties walked towards me. And he was shirtless. When I looked at his face, he had concerned and confused look on his face.
“You live with Colton right?” He asked me. I nodded my head.
“Then what are you doing here in this heavy rain?” he asked.
“Um i.. well..” I don’t know what to tell him.
“I am coming from my college but lost my way back here, then it started raining so here I am.” I mumbled while shielding my eyes from rain.
“But why you are alone? I guess you go to the same college as his children. Where are they?” he asked confused.
“I don’t know.” I said.
He sighed at that.
“Come with me.”he said and started to walk inside the gates. I followed him silently. It's not like I had any other option. He didn’t walk straight as it was the way towards uncle’s house. Instead he took left which lead to woods. I was confused but followed him nevertheless. We reached a cabin. It was a small cabin built with woods. We entered inside. There was a fire place and three leather chair with a coffee table. Nothing more. No wall hangings or any other furniture. It was small yet cozy cabin. I quickly went towards the fireplace. It was getting cold in wet clothes. I slide off my backpack from my shoulder and quickly sat on the chair.
That man walked towards me and sat on one of the chairs on the other side of coffee table. He was tall and handsome and also well built.
“Are you alright?” he asked me.
I nodded my head. He smiled at me. A gentle smile.
“I am Keaton, friend of Colton. I already contacted him and he will be here in 15 minutes. So till then warm yourself up. You look cold.” He said.
“Thank you Mr Keaton.” I said.
“Please don’t be formal with me. You can call me Keaton or uncle.” He said with a smile. I nodded my head.
“May I know your name sweetheart?”
“ it’s Nisha”
We made a small talk while waiting for uncle. Well he did, I just nodded my head with few words. He told me his son also goes to the same college and his name is Kai. Everyone I met here seems nice well except for those two brats. Yeah brats. I was nothing but polite with them but they are behaving like they despise me. If they don’t want to talk to me then I don’t care. It’s their fault, not mine. I already called my mansion for my car. It will arrive tomorrow morning.
When we were busy talking, the door suddenly burst open and a very pissed Colton uncle walked towards us. When his eyes landed on me, he sighed in relief. He had tensed and concerned look on his face. He came towards me and I stood up.
“Nisha are you alright? I am sorry it’s my fault that you have to bear all these difficulties. I should have called Noah for checking up on you, but I didn’t. I am sorry.”he said guiltily.
“It’s not your fault uncle and I am perfectly fine. Let’s go home.”I assured him.
“Lets go.”he sighed.
“And thanks man for informing me.” Uncle thanked Keaton. He smiled towards us and we made our way towards uncle’s car.
-----------
The rain has already stopped when we reached the house. Savannah aunt was pacing in the porch when she saw us, she immediately pulled me into hug.
“Thank God you are alright.”she said while breaking the hug.
“I am fine Aunt. Look I am not even cold now.”I assured her. I don’t like when someone worries about me. I didn’t glance at uncle because he looked really angry when we were in the car. I hope he don’t scold Noah and Samantha. I don’t want them to dislike me even more.
“Go take a warm shower sweetheart, I’ll make something hot for you.”
--------------
I woke up with someone’s yelling from downstairs. I glanced at the clock. It was 10 pm. I sighed and got out of bed. As I was about to make my way downstairs, their voices stopped me. I gripped the handle tight.
“But Dad it’s not a big thing. Why are you exaggerating it this much.” Noah groaned irritatingly.
“Not a big thing Noah? That child is new here, doesn’t know about her surrounding and you left her all alone in the college.” Colton uncle exclaimed angrily.
“Dad it looks like she is more important to you than us. You never got this angry on us. I am already hating that little b***h” Samantha yelled with anger.
“lower your voice Samantha. And Do not! I mean it. Do Not speak like that. It’s not her fault. It’s yours guys. I thought you were mature enough to trust you with certain responsibility but you already disappointed me.” Uncle said.
“What? Are you serious Dad? I accept I forgot about her but when I went back, she wasn’t there.” He said.
“Of course. She would wait for you 3-4 hours not even knowing you will come or not. Right?” uncle replied sarcastically.
“Noah you know very well this area is not safe. Anything could have happen to her. Rouges are getting out of hands and you know that.” Uncle said in his calm voice.
There was silence for sometime.
“I can’t believe this Dad. Fine we are sorry. You are scolding us for someone who is a stranger. I really hate her.” Samantha huffed angrily.
“Samantha why are you behaving like a kid. You are 19 years old for god sake. Stop getting jealous over little things.” Aunt said.
“Whatever Mom. We are staying in the packhouse tonight. Go babysit that little thing.” Samantha said and then I heard the front door close with a bang.
I ran to my bed and sobbed hard. I don’t want to meddle in their lives. I didn’t even want to come here in the first place. I am feeling like I am ruining their relationship. It’s my fault. I never got the love of a family. I only had my papa with me. I know how it feels not to have a family. I will never want to create problems in their lives.
I hugged my dad’s photo and cried to sleep. I decided from now on I won’t interfere in their lives.

Aaron POV
I didn’t like dad’s decision although I agreed upon it. But letting a human stay in our territory who is oblivious to the world of werewolves is too much. I don’t like humans much. They are weak and dumb. They are just pathetic creatures who can’t even protect themselves. So I don’t like having humans in my territory.
90% of the pack population belongs to us wolves while only 10% belongs to humans just because they are someone’s mate here .
During rouge attacks, protecting them becomes headache. Not that we face much problems of rouge because we are very strong and powerful. But still I dislike humans.
We are most feared pack in America so no one dares to trespass in our territory. But still if any rouge spotted here in our territory, I myself takes care of that s**t. I am not called monster for no reason. I don’t show mercy to my enemies and kill them in the worst possible ways.
Now that I am talking about those lowlifes, I want to tell you something. Something wicked about myself. I like to kill them with my bare hands. Killing rouges gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Call me psychopath but I don’t care. I am short tempered and whenever I want to cool down myself, I play with them. And their blood.
My wolf Ashton always goes berserk on finding them. He is more cruel and wicked than me. He doesn’t care if the rouge is good or bad. He just kills. He is a killing machine. No one can stop him, not even me. But he is my wolf. I control him to not to kill that filthy rouge right on the spot. What’s the use of dungeons? I take my time to play with them. And he also enjoys that.
Ashton is more cruel and wicked than me. He doesn’t follow rules nor anyone’s order. He is a controlling freak. I am a dominating alpha but he is more dominant than myself. People fear Ashton more than me. No one dares to look into his eyes. He likes to be in control. Sometimes he really makes me hard to control him. Though he never took the full control of me more than few minutes but between those minutes, he can flip the whole world upside down. He is berserk. But I love him. He is inseparable from me. Though we argue a lot, but still I love him. But don't tell him this. Like never. He is more egoistic than me. It will only boost his ego. Nowadays he is not in talking terms with me. Why? Because of his precious mate topic. We often argue on mate topic. He thinks that I am going to steal his mate from him. Well not stealing but definitely rejecting. He wants to find our no his mate. But I don't want to. I am not a person who will do relationships and commitments. He always lectures me on how we should have waited for our mate and we are going to regret later and what not. And whenever I engage in some type of s****l activity with other girls, he constantly nags me and gives his two pages long speech on how we should not do this and those girls look disgusting and our mate will be the best and all. So I always block him out that time. Mate topic is trigger to our arguments. But whatever!
Oh I forgot we were talking about that human. I was surprised when Colton said she is going to live with his family. Colton is calm and collected, always has clear vision of things. I always hoped to the same qualities should have transferred to Noah. But no. He is a dumbass. He is stronger than most wolves in our pack but a lazy ass when it comes to training. He only knows how to woow others with his flirting personality. But he is my best friend and loyal to me.
As today was our football match and being the captain of the team, you have to be there, play and win. So I went to the college late. I don’t mind skipping lectures. Most of the teachers here are werewolves so they know who I am. And the others don’t even dare to say anything because of my aura. So skipping lectures is no problem.
When I reached the college,all my friends were waiting for me in the parking lot. There I smelt something addicting faint smell of fresh oranges, chocolates and something unique I couldn’t pinpoint it. As I was about to follow that smell, my friends called me. I sighed and went there.
We headed to our changing room. As coach was already present there. We wore our t-shirts and shorts and got ready for match. It was intercollege match between our college and the North High Academy. Since most of the population in this area is werewolves, match becomes very interesting. We werewolves have more strength than humans and most of the football teams consist of werewolves players. So it’s very interesting to play and watch.
---------------
Guess what we won the match. There was no way one can defeat me and those kids played like snail. So it was easy victory. To celebrate our win, we went to the nearby café called 90’s café. It’s very popular and serves better food.
We ordered the drinks and food and started to dig in. Food tastes much better after any hardwork. As I was not in a mood to drive, Kai drove my car with Cole while I went with Noah and Sam.
“ you guys nailed it. It’s back to back 16th victory of our college.” Sam said enthusiastically.
I just hummed clearly distracted. Ashton was howling and pacing in my head. I don’t know why but he is too edgy today. Noah’s car was smelling like that addicting smell of chocolates and oranges. It was very faint but still there. It felt soothing. I just want to sniff it constantly.
“Noah have you bought any new car freshener? it smells good.” I asked Noah.
Sam and Noah looked at me weirdly.
“No. I didn’t use any.”he said staring at me from the mirror.
“Aren’t you guys smelling chocolates and oranges scent.?”I asked them because I clearly can smell it.
They both shook their heads negativity.
“All I can smell is the perfume Sam applied too much.”noah said while scrunching his nose.
“Oh please, it smells divine. It’s very costly brand and unique.” Sam huffed.
“Guys today we skipped all our classes, professors will have our heads.” Sam said changing the topic.
“Yeah especially Mr Robert that old fart.” Noah said and they both laughed.
I just blocked them out and close my eyes leaning towards the window and sniffing that soothing scent quietly. Just then Noah suddenly applied breaks startling me.
“Oh s**t “ he mumbled under his breath.
“What the f**k Noah? Why the hell you applied breaks suddenly?” Sam yelled angrily.
Just then I saw her. The lipstick she was applying, got on her left cheek making her look funny. I covered my laugh with a scoff.
“I forgot to pick Nisha. She might be waiting for us. It’s already late.” Noah said.
“oh please Noah, now you also. Relax it’s not a big thing. She can go home by herself if she wants to.” Sam said casually.
“But she is new here. She don’t have a ride. We should have picked her up.” Noah said with concern.
“Please Noah it’s not like she is 10 year old child, she can go by herself. And besides Mom only said about taking her to college, not picking her up. So chill. Let’s go to packhouse.” Sam said.
Ashton growled at her. He didn’t like what she said. They both looked at me shocked.
“We will go back and pick her up.” I told them. I don’t know why but Ashton was satisfied with my answer. Sam opened her mouth to oppose, but I pin her with my glare.
“Yeah you are right. We should go back otherwise Dad will have my head. It’s already raining. I don’t know why but Dad seems very protective of her.”noah said and took a u- turn.
I sighed and looked out of the window. What a long day…
