Chapter 1
This was supposed to be her week of rest, just like this year was supposed to be less work for her. Instead , Nitara Dhawan, General of the Northern Territory Forces was out patrolling the borders. Not that she really had an issue with this - she liked working but having work on the week she had a mountain of tasks at home was inconvenient.
As she was cataloguing what job can be done when, her mind link crackled to life
Hello sister mine - please settle an argument for us came Kartik - one of her twin brother's voice
Nitara rolls her eyes.
No she replies
Come on sis - it's a tiny argument Kian the other twin chimed in.
Nope, I am not settling one of your inappropriate arguments again. Nitara replies.
It's not that bad....we were just arguing about if girls prefer blow...
A couple of other snickers came down the link - no doubt some of the other soldiers where hearing this.
Do not finish that sentence Nitara threatened And get off the mind link- before I tell your commander to give you extra circuit runs for a month.
She heard the twins mentally wince
Sis you are our trusted parent- who else do we ask these questions Kartik comments trying to sound innocent.
Nitara snorts
Like this is important to your survival. Trust me even with knowing things I don't think many women will let you near them.
Hey, that's unfair Kian protests
That's what you get for bringing annoying arguments to me Nitara replies mentally poking her tongue out I am your sister and General, show some respect.
Nitara knew very well the twins didn't really want to ask her anything scandalous, they just liked annoying her like overgrown children.
Now if you have this much free time, how about fixing that cupboard in the garage Nitara asks
Too hard, we are tired from training Kian quips
Laundry then she suggests
Too much Kartik replies
I am gonna kick you...
Before she could complete the sentence she feels rather than sees the fast blur coming towards her.
Instinct kicks in and she vaults up, shifting mid air into a massive brown and gold wolf.
The blur - a grey wolf twice her size - still manages to slam into her.
Fuck! Nitara curses mentally before commanding the soldiers bounding towards her Ronan, Malek box him in.
The grey wolf with startlingly violet eyes was astride her, trying to get a bite of her neck.
Nitara! You okay Kartik's voice flares panicked
I am good, get off the link Kartik, we need it open Nitara commands.
She manages to sweep the wolves hind legs from under him and twist herself over. The next second he manages to throw her off , with ungodly strength.
He's strong, we need to work together she blasts through the link alerting 3 other soldiers coming her way Any other breaches?
None General comes the reply.
I think we have enough people here, rest of you do not leave your posts - this might be a decoy Nitara delivers the command before bounding over to her soldiers.
The grey wolf was proving to be a challenge.
He's way too strong - even more than an Alpha Ronan comments trying to pin the wolf down.
Anyone able to get into his mind Nitara asks cutting of an exit the grey would had noticed.
No luck Malek and Vidyuth replies
They were one of the best mind breakers she knew.
Keep him roped in, let me try
The soldiers agree through the link.
It took her a good 20 minutes and several gashes on her soldiers before she could get into his mind.
Pain was the first thing that hit her and it almost toppled her. He was in so much pain in his mind - she couldn't get a clear image of anything. There was fury, longing and sorrow in there too. It made her physically nauseous
She needed to find the kill switch fast - the spot in the mind, which a mind breaker could effectively use to knock out the opponent.
I need to find it fast or I am gonna hurl Nitara thinks.
Just as she felt the bile rise up her throat, she saw it. The point always appeared as pulsing white spot for her.
Nitara slams her mental energy into it and holds on for dear life.
An agonizing five minutes later, the grey wolf's mind goes out and outside he slumps down unconscious.
Nitara shifts into her human form and violently vomits.
"What the f**k was that" she says out loud, looking at the grey wolf, surrounded by her significantly wounded soldiers.
