Chapter #88

I am waiting for you archard. I was thinking that may be I should have to understand it. I don't have enough energy for myself.

I hear him coming back, and I pretend to sleep. I close my eyes, and I slow down my breathing. I stay still, and I wait.

He opens the door, and he walks into my room. He looks at me, and he smiles. He says:

"Hey, sleeping beauty. You look so peaceful. You look so innocent. You look so mine."

He walks to my bed, and he sits on the edge. He reaches out his hand, and he strokes my hair. He says:

"I'm sorry I left you alone. I had some business to take care of. Some unexpected guests. But don't worry, it's all under control. It's all taken care of."

He leans in, and he kisses my cheek. He says:

"I'll be back soon. I'll be back for you. I'll be back to make love to you."

He stands up, and he walks to the door. He says:

"Sleep well, my love. Sleep well, my mate."

He closes the door, and he locks it from outside.

He leaves me alone.

I open my eyes, and I feel a shiver of disgust. I feel his touch, his kiss, his words. I feel sick.

I hate him.

I hate him so much.

But I also feel a flicker of curiosity. I feel a hint of suspicion. I feel a trace of doubt.

I wonder what he meant by business. I wonder what he meant by guests. I wonder what he meant by control. I wonder what he meant by taken care of.

I wonder what's going on. I wonder what's happening. I wonder if it has something to do with Archard. And I hope. I hope it does. I hope he's here.

I hope he's come for me. But I also fear.

I fear it doesn't.I fear he's not. I fear he's gone. Gone for good.

AZALAIC ( POV )

I drove to the airport with Albert, my personal manager, following a tip that a private jet had landed there. I had a hunch that it belonged to my company, and that my sister Alexia was on board.

I know what she is doing here? she us here to check me wether I'm okay or not. She acts like a baby sitter which I don't like it.

I don't know what they wanted from me? I was thinking may be she is came here for me. There is a lot of things going on in my mind but I have to control on it till I known who is there. I known that she is here to check what I have done it with Aisling.

I squinted my eyes as I saw a glint of metal in the sky. It was a private jet, and not just any jet. It was our family jet, the one that we used to travel around the world in luxury and comfort. How did it find us here, on this remote island where we had escaped from our enemies? Who was on board, and what did they want from us?

I felt a surge of fear and anger. They had no right to invade our sanctuary, to threaten our peace and safety. I grabbed Albert's arm and pulled him closer to me. He was my loyal bodyguard and friend, the only person I trusted in this world.

"Albert, check it out. Who is coming on that jet, and how did they know about this island? I'm sure they are here for me and Aisling, but they will never find us. We have to hide, now."

Albert nodded and took out his binoculars. He scanned the horizon, looking for any signs of landing or movement. He frowned as he saw something.

"Sir, there's a problem. The jet is not ours. It's a decoy. Someone has painted it to look like ours, but it's actually a different model. And there are more of them. At least three more jets are following behind it, all disguised as ours."

I felt a chill run down my spine. This was worse than I thought. Someone had gone to great lengths to track us down, and they had brought reinforcements. Who were they, and what did they want from us?

"Albert, we have to get out of here. Grab Aisling and the emergency bag. We'll take the boat and head for the other side of the island. There's a hidden cave there where we can hide until they leave."

Albert nodded again and ran towards the house where Aisling was waiting for us. We gets in the car and move to our house back but there we reach there I thought that may be I could doe better.

We reached our car and got in quickly. Albert started the engine and drove away from the airport. He was scared, and so was I. I was thinking that maybe my sister Alexia had reached here. Maybe Archard had found us. He was the alpha king, after all. He could find us anywhere.

I looked at the rearview mirror and saw the jets landed on the runway. I'm sure that they are here for us. I am sure that it may be Alexia..

"Albert, drive faster. We have to get home before they reach out to our place."

" Boss I think it is miss Alexia we don't have to worry about it? "

" How you knew it that she is miss Alexia tell me? "

" Actually she called me about a day ago and asked for our location. "

" What!... how you do that ? you give it our location. "

" She is your sister and I'm loyal to your whole family how can I lie to her "

" Fuck off you idiot I never thought you can do such kind of stupid thing. I thought you were with me. "

" Boss I'm with you but she is your sister I have to tell her everything about you I can't hide it. "

I punch over the seat and thought now she will definitely reach out to me and I will never be successful in my plan. I do not known what should I do? how I will get her out from this island.

Albert nodded and stepped on the gas. He swerved through the traffic, ignoring the honks and curses of other drivers. He was a skilled driver, and he knew the roads well. He took shortcuts and alleys, trying to lose any possible pursuers.

We reached our home in record time.

ARCHARD ( POV )

I felt a surge of excitement as the private jet touched down on the runway. I looked out the window and saw the blue ocean sparkling in the sun. Cleo and Alexia were sitting next to me, smiling and chatting. They had been my best friends since childhood, and they had supported me through everything. They knew how much this trip meant to me.

We grabbed our luggage and walked out of the jet. A warm breeze greeted us, along with a friendly driver who was holding a sign with our names. He led us to a sleek black car that was waiting for us. Alexia handed me a piece of paper with an address on it.

"This is where Aisling and Azalaic are staying," she said.

" Thanks Alexia you have done a lot of things for us. I will never forget it. '

" Now you are making me embarrassed. You know what what archard I was thinking that may we should have to reconnect with each other. We will make alliance of alpha with you because I want a peace in our packs."

" Do you really think it will work out. Azalaic will never be agreed on it."

" Don't worry about him I will handle it. You just make sure that Aisling will choose a right decision for herself."

" I will take care of it don't worry there will be definitely a hope for us. "

Cleo entrapped it," Hayee guys we are getting late come on.. "

I sat in the back seat of the car, feeling nervous and anxious. I was on my way to see Aisling, my mate and pack leader. She had been kidnapped by Azalaic, a rogue werewolf who wanted to make her his mate by force. He had taken her to this island, where he had a beach house. He had tortured her, bitten her, and tried to mark her. I known he will again hurt her and I do not want it. I want my Alexia back.

But I couldn't give up on her. I loved her more than anything, and I knew she loved me too. We had a bond that he could never break. We had met when we were kids, and we had grown up together. We had always been close, and we had always felt a pull towards each other.

But I was also scared. I didn't know what Azalaic had done to Aisling, or how she was coping. I didn't know if he had hurt her, or broken her spirit. I didn't know if she was still alive.

I looked out the window, and saw the blue ocean sparkling in the sun. I felt a pang of sadness, thinking that this beautiful place was hiding such a dark secret.

I turned to Cleo and Alexia, who were sitting in the front seat. They looked at me with concern and sympathy.

"Hey, don't worry," Cleo said, trying to cheer me up. "We're almost there. We're going to get her back."

"Yeah," Alexia said, nodding. "We're going to kick his ass."

They smiled at me, and I smiled back weakly.

"Thanks, guys," I said. "You're the best."

They were my friends, and they were with me.

But I wished Aisling was with me too.

This speration will definitely close us. I Known she is in love with me and she always love me. I known she will choose me as his mate. Alexia will see our love life and now there is no one who came between us.

I promise to you Aisling you will be mine forever. I don't known what should I do when I will see you first time.

"Hey, don't worry," Cleo said, sensing my anxiety. "You're going to have a great time here. She will definitely be here with you and we will happily celebrate your wedding with her.."

She winked at me and squeezed my hand. I smiled back at her, grateful for her optimism.

"Thanks, Cleo. You're the best."

We got into the car and drove away from the airport. I looked out the window again and saw palm trees, white sand beaches, and colorful houses. I felt a surge of hope in my chest. I was looking towards the house and thought there is nothing now which can stop us. You are mine and always be mine.

We arrived at the beach house after a short drive. It was a stunning two-story villa with a large balcony and a swimming pool. The house was surrounded by tropical plants and flowers, and had a direct access to the beach. I could see the turquoise water of the Oasis, the magical lake that was said to have healing powers.

I jumped out of the car and ran towards the house. I was eager to see Aisling, my mate and pack leader. She had always been my soulmate, and I had missed her so much. I wanted to know how she was doing, and how she had managed to escape from our enemies. She managed to escape out from her ruthless person.

I opened the door and entered the house. It was spacious and elegant, with modern furniture and exotic decorations. I saw a large living room with a fireplace, a kitchen with an island, and a dining room with a glass table. The walls were covered with paintings and photos of different men and women.

I screamed out Asiling's name, hoping to hear her voice. But instead of a cheerful greeting, I heard a sobbing sound. It was coming from upstairs, from one of the bedrooms. I felt a surge of worry and ran up the stairs. Cleo and Alexia followed me, looking concerned.

I reached the door of the bedroom where the sound was coming from. It was locked. I knocked on it and called out Aisling name again.

"Aisling, are you okay? It's me, your mate. Open the door, please."

There was no answer, only more crying. I tried to open the door, but it was locked from inside. I felt a wave of anger and fear.

"Something's wrong," I said to Cleo and Alexia. "We have to break the door."

They nodded and stepped back. I clenched my fist and punched the door with all my strength. The wood splintered and the lock broke. I kicked the door open and entered the room.

What I saw made my heart stop.

Aisling was lying on the bed, curled up in a fetal position. Her face was pale and tear-stained. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red. She looked like she had been through hell.

She saw me and gasped. She reached out her arms towards me.

"Mate," she whispered.

I ran to her and hugged her tightly. She clung to me like a lifeline.

"What happened to you?" I asked, horrified. "Who did this to you? Who hurt you?"

" What he done with you Aisling tell me."

Insist of replying she was constantly crying she was crying like a child. I hugged her and looked forward to her.

I asked her where Azalaic was. She told me that he was the one who had kidnapped her and brought her to this island. She said that he was obsessed with her, and that he wanted to make her his mate by force.

She said that he had gone to the airport after finding out that an unknown private jet had landed here.

I hugged her and said that she didn't have to worry about anything. I said that I was here for her, and that I would protect her from him. I said that I loved her more than anything, and that she was my true mate.

She looked at me with gratitude and love. She said that she loved me too, and that she was sorry for everything. She said that she had tried to escape from him, but he had always found her. She said that he was powerful and dangerous, and that he had allies on this island.

I kissed her forehead and told her that it was not her fault. I told her that we would find a way to get out of here, and to go back to our pack. I told her that we would be happy together, and that no one would ever hurt her again.

As I was comforting her, I heard a loud noise downstairs. It sounded like someone had broken into the house. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I felt a surge of anger and fear.

I told Aisling to stay behind me, and to be ready to run. I told Cleo and Alexia to guard the door, and to call for help if they could.

The door opened and I saw Azalaic standing there. He was a tall and muscular man, with dark hair and green eyes. He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans, and he had a smug smile on his face. He was holding a gun in his hand. Behind him, I saw Albert, his manager. He was a slim and bald man, with glasses and a suit. He looked nervous and scared.

Azalaic looked at me and laughed.

"Finally, Archard, you found us," he said. "I've been waiting for you."

Aisling stepped out from behind me and faced Azalaic. She looked at him with hatred and defiance. She said that he was not her mate, and that he had no right to claim her. She said that he was a monster, and that he had ruined her life. She said that she hated him, and that she wished he was dead.

She looked at me and said that I was her real mate, and that she loved me. She said that we were meant to be together, and that we had a bond that he could never break. She said that we would fight him, and that we would escape from him.

Azalaic looked at her and sneered.

"You're lying, Aisling," he said. "You're mine, and you know it. You're just trying to protect him, but you can't. He's nothing to you, and he's nothing to me. He's just a pathetic excuse for a werewolf, and I'm going to kill him."

Aisling start bagging her, Alexia quickly entrapped and tried to attack on him but she failed because she knew it that if she tried to attack on him. He definitely shoot archard or Aisling.

I said, " See azalaic we are not enemy! we can talk to each other on this topic."

" You really think that there is a now anything left for the talk?"

" Everything is here see Aisling is with me and you are here. We can easily solve this issue."

" No we can't solve it out."

" We can solve it."

" okay tell you how we going to solve it out. Are you giving your mate Aisling to me. Is Aisling going to love me again? Is she going to accept me again."

I was silent and looking towards the Aisling she was already scared and she said, " Listen azalaic I love you I always love you you Know that already. You knew it that I love you. "

" Okay than accept me as your mate. "

" okay we will talk about it but right now please put this gun away. "

He looked towards us and said," You all are lier a big lie. "

Alexia entrapped and said, " Listen azalaic she is here with Me don't worry we are going home with Aisling now take it easy."

" I'm not a kid I can understand what you are planning. Aisling tell me are you going to accept me as your mate again or not otherwise I will shoot myself." He again said, " are you going to accept me as your mate again or not!..."

Aisling said, " PLEASE DON'T DO IT please!... I'm bagging you."

" One two three!..."

ONE MONTH LATER:

AISLING ( POV )

Today I'm happy, yes I'm satisfied what happened I forget and forgiveness. I known everything was so hard for me.

This year was hard for me but I realize that everything which happened in my life have a reason.

I turned the page of my book and read a passage that made me laugh. It was a romance novel, one of my guilty pleasures. I loved reading about the adventures and struggles of the characters, and how they overcame them to find their true love.

I could relate to them, because I had gone through a lot to be with him.

He was not from my pack, he was from a rival one. We had met by chance

We felt a connection, a bond, that was stronger than any loyalty or hatred. We knew we were mates, destined to be together. We ran away from our packs, knowing they would never accept us. We faced many dangers and enemies, but we also found allies and friends.

I leaned against the railing of the balcony, enjoying the gentle breeze and the warm sunlight. Below me, I could see the park where children were running around, laughing and playing. Among them, I spotted Azalaic, sitting on a bench with a chessboard in front of him. He was teaching a group of curious kids how to play the game, explaining the rules and strategies with patience and enthusiasm. He smiled and nodded as they made their moves, encouraging them and correcting them gently. He looked so happy and relaxed, his eyes sparkling with intelligence and kindness. I felt a surge of affection for him, admiring his passion and generosity. He was always willing to share his knowledge and skills with others, especially with children. He had a way of making them feel valued and respected, while also challenging them to think and learn. I wondered if he knew how much I loved him, how much he meant to me. I wanted to go down and join him, to hug him and kiss him and tell him how proud I was of him. But I also wanted to let him have his moment, to enjoy his time with the kids. So I stayed on the balcony, watching him from afar, feeling happy and grateful for having him in my life.

In a moment I went to my room back, I turned away from the balcony and walked back to my room. As I entered, I felt a wave of nostalgia wash over me. This room had been my home for the past one month, I was thinking that may be that we were here, There were books and music and art that we both loved, reflecting our shared interests and tastes. There were gifts and souvenirs that he had given me or brought back from his travels, showing his thoughtfulness and generosity. There were flowers and candles and pillows that he had arranged to create a cozy and romantic atmosphere, expressing his love and affection. Everything in this room was a reminder of him, of how much he cared for me and how much I cared for him. I smiled as I looked around, feeling his presence in every corner. I knew he would be back soon, and I couldn't wait to see him again. I loved him more than anything in the world, and this room was our little paradise.

This room give me sadness and felt a pang of loneliness. Everything reminded me of him. The bed where we cuddled, the books we read together, the photos on the wall. His scent still lingered on the pillow, his clothes still hung in the closet. I missed him so much. I wondered when he would come back, when I would see his smile again, when I would feel his arms around me. I wished he was here, with me, in this room that was full of his love

I turned on the radio and heard his favorite song. I smiled and remembered how we used to dance to it, holding each other close, swaying to the rhythm. I missed his touch, his warmth, his heartbeat. I grabbed his jacket and wrapped it around me. I felt like he was hugging me, protecting me, loving me. I lay down on the bed and looked at his picture on the nightstand. He was smiling, his eyes sparkling, his hair messy. I missed his face, his eyes, his hair. I kissed the picture and whispered his name. I missed him so much. I hoped he was safe, he was happy, he was mine. I loved him, with all my heart, in this room that was full of his love.

In a moment the door start knocking and Valentina was there as I known she is living here for a month. She is changed now after our bad incident.

She helped me in making alliance with all three packs, blue lunar, red moon and yes my pack dark wolves. It was my all time dream and archard..

I was sitting on the bed, staring at the wall. I felt nervous, anxious, scared. Today was the big day, the day we were going to the council. The council that would decide our fate, our future, our freedom. I had to be ready, I had to be strong, I had to be brave. But I felt none of those things. I felt weak, I felt hopeless, I felt alone. This meeting will definitely change everything we will no longer be enemies. I want then as my friends.

I heard a knock on the door. It was Valentina, my friend, my ally, my partner. She opened the door and peeked in. She saw me and smiled, but I could see the worry in her eyes.

She said, "Hey, we're waiting for you. Can you please hurry up? You know today is a big day. We're going to the council."

She walked in and sat next to me. She took my hand and squeezed it. She said, "You can do this. We can do this. Together. Don't worry about any thing I known you will do it. You be definitely rock the chair."

She looked at me with confidence, with determination, with courage. She made me feel a little better, a little stronger, a little less alone.

I replied, "Wait for me till I get dressed up."

She said, "You have only fifteen minutes. Get ready quickly."

She got up and left the room. I heard her footsteps fading away. I got up and went to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and dried myself. I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a young woman with long brown hair and green eyes. I saw a leader, a fighter, a survivor. I saw a wolf, a mate, a mother. I saw myself, Aisling, the alpha of the pack.

I put on my clothes, a black dress and a leather jacket. I wore a necklace with a silver pendant, a gift from Archard. It was his mark, his symbol, his love. I felt his presence, his spirit, his soul. He was with me, always, in my heart, in my mind, in my blood. He was my mate, my lover, my husband. He was the alpha of the dark wolves pack.

I walked out of the room and met Valentina in the hallway. She looked at me and nodded. She said, "You look good. You look ready."

I smiled and said, "Thank you. So do you." She wore a red dress and a leather jacket. She wore a necklace with a gold pendant, a gift from azalaic as I remember when she was in the relationship with azalaic.

We walked downstairs and joined the others. They were waiting for us in the living room. They were our friends, our allies, our family. They were the members of the Dark wolves pack and blue lunar packs. I saw azalaic was coming inside the house. He looked towards me and said, " Ahhh you look amazing."

Alexia and cleo Looked towards us and said, " Yes she looks beautiful. "

I looked to him and said, " You all are ready!"

They start laughing and said, " We all are ready don't worry about us but where is Mr. Smiths and miss. smith and Emma."

" They already arrived to union council."

" Okay than what we are waiting let's go..."

We greeted them and got into the cars.

I felt a knot in my stomach as I got into the car with my family and friends. We were heading to the Union Council of Alpha Packs, where I had to face the representatives of the other packs and explain why I had challenged their authority. I knew it was a risky move, but I also believed it was necessary to form an alliance of wolves that threatened our territory.

The car was silent, except for the occasional sigh or whisper. Everyone looked tense and nervous, especially my friends, who had tried to dissuade me from going. They feared for my safety and reputation, but they also respected my decision as the leader of our pack. I appreciated their support, but I wished they didn't have to worry so much.

I stared out the window, trying to calm my nerves. I rehearsed my speech in my mind, hoping to find the right words to convince the council that I was not a rebel or a traitor, but a visionary and a peacemaker. I wanted to show them that we could work together for the common good, instead of fighting each other for power and resources.

The car slowed down as we approached the council building. It was a large and imposing structure, surrounded by guards and cameras. I felt a surge of adrenaline as I stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance. My family and friends followed me, forming a protective circle around me. I could feel the eyes of the other alphas on me, judging me, challenging me, testing me. I took a deep breath and entered the hall, ready to face the council.

We drove to the council hall, where the elders were waiting for us. They were the judges, the mediators, the peacemakers. They were the representatives of all the packs in the world.

We arrived at the council hall and entered the main hall. We saw the elders sitting on a long table at the front. They looked at us with curiosity, with respect, with hope. They welcomed us and asked us to sit on opposite sides of the table.

We sat down and looked at each other. We saw our enemies, our rivals, our opponents. We saw our friends, our partners, our allies. We saw our mates, our lovers, our spouses.

We were here to end the war of packs, to sign the peace treaty, to unite as one. It was Archard's dream and today it was coming into reality.
