DISHA
Just like Yasmin told Haniya and the guy said, 'Mates' simultaneously. Instantly, the guy's eye colour changes to black and he hugs Haniya as if his life depends on it.
Haniya gets uncomfortable with this gesture and tries to push him away, resulting in him growling. That scared me, making me relive the same terror that the stalker and his gang gave. I was about to move to help Haniya, but Halona spoke, " Disha, do not interrupt them. They are mates. We don't have the right to ruin their moment."
"MOMENT! HANIYA DOESN'T WANT TO HUG HIM. BUT HE IS STILL CLINGY TO HER", I snap back at Halona.
Harry's voice brings me back. "Prince Edward, I understand she is your mate and you want to claim her but there are a few things you need to listen to regarding your mate's situation."
Harry's interruption causes the situation to worsen as Edward bites Haniya in between her neck and collarbone. His sudden action stunned everyone in the room, and Haniya screamed for a few seconds before moaning.
"I never thought I would hear Hani moaning. "
"Why did I live to listen to her moaning?"
"Do I have to beat up this Edward or what? She is brimming with pleasure. "
These were all said at once, but I know who said them first. It was Asha, then Yasmin, followed by Nina. Stunning me is the fact that they didn't say a word. Instead, I listened to them in my head. And I was not the only one, as they faced each other, confirming we spoke telepathically.
Edward began to purr like a kitten and take a step back, but he still had his grip on Haniya. He looks satisfied as he accomplishes a lifelong mission.
"What the fuck did you do to me? Fucking hell, you bit me as if I was meat. Why? " Haniya barked at him, pushing him away. The action didn't seem to affect Edward, as he was standing still and dared to smirk.
"Clam down my wolf. I marked you." For the first time since he spoke, he had a thick Canadian accent.
"Wow, he has a Canadian accent. It looks like Haniya's dream of living in Canada has been fulfilled. " Nina spoke telepathically.
"What the hell, Nina? In this situation you are thinking of this unnecessary thing," Asha shouts at Nina telepathically. leading to Nina's frown at the loud volume of Asha's voice.
"What the hell you mean by that. And how would you all, the fucking council let him do it? I thought you all wanted to help us am I right?" Haniya screams, accusing the council of this.
" Calm down Haniya, Let us explain, please" Jacob speaks with a calm attitude and gesture us to sit.
Haniya took a deep breath and sit down on the cushion in the room. Edward sat beside her and holds her hand. This little movement causes them to stiffen, and Haniya withdraws her hand quickly, causing Edward to scowl.
"First of all, let me introduce you all to each other. This is Isaac and his mate Lydia, who will teach you about medical issues you should be aware of. And we have hunters' leaders as well, like Cole Argent, who supervises French hunters, and Sky Plata, who supervises Mexican hunters. They will teach you how to hunt and not fall prey to traps set by false hunters. These are the girls we spoke about; they are Asha, Roshini, Haniya, Yasmin, Disha, and Nina." Jacob introduces the plate to the blonde and redheaded women first, then the French man and Mexican woman later, through our sitting pattern.
" Lastly, as you all know, Prince Edward is Haniya's mate and he will teach you fighting skills in your human and wolf form. The action of biting Haniya is called 'marking' in the werewolf community. The marking combines mate's auras, which will make other werewolves know that they have mates, and marking also binds their souls together, so they can live together and be inseparable." Harry explained what made Haniya angry and said " So basically, this process binds my soul with his soul which makes us inseparable!. You didn't think I had the right to know and give consent to it." She gave death glares at Edward.
"Your feisty attitude is turning me on but I warn you not to be disrespectful towards me. My wolf and I won't tolerate it next time." He spoke in a spine-chilling tone making Haniya gulp.
" Marking you right away is making sure you are mine and mine only. If you find this unfair you are welcome to mark me anytime soon." Edward continues speaking in a normal tone but I felt like he still had the dominant authority.
I felt sorry for Haniya because her soulmate is a jerk who doesn't respect her opinions. I find a man who doesn't respect a woman properly a low-graded man.
"From tomorrow onwards, you girls will train under our supervision. Here are the schedules and books that have information about the supernatural world. Also, we brought SIM cards for you all, since you girls don't have American mobile numbers. " Chan-lee spoke, breaking the tension between Edward and Haniya.
We took the stuff, gave our regards, and left the room. When we reached the elevator, the door was about to close, but a hand appeared, making the doors open once again. It was Edward who stepped in and walked next to Haniya. Well, this sure will be an interesting elevator ride.
Edward and Haniya were having a moment, just looking at each other, similar to typical Indian drama. If Edward wasn't a jerk, I could be happy for Haniya. "Are you girls free tonight?" Edward asked.
Because of mutual dislike towards him, nobody answers his questions. Therefore, I had to step in and say "Yes, we are free tonight" while giving my false polite smile.
"Great, I was thinking of taking you all to dinner. It could be refreshing since what you have all been through could be stressful. " He spoke with an angry expression at the end. What we had been through caused him to be angry.
"That sounds great. Where will we be having dinner? " Asha inquired, and Edward replied, "There is an Italian restaurant owned by one of my cousins. He will be joining us, along with a few others. And I will personally pick you all up. "
Edward looked towards Haniya and said, "After dinner, Haniya, you will go to my place and live with me onwards." Leaving everyone shocked with his decision, this guy will keep getting on my nerves.
"What? No way, I'm not going to live with a stranger I just met. " Haniya announced."I am your mate, and you have to listen to me," Edward growls. "MATE OR NOT..." Haniya was shouting, but Nina quickly interrupted her, saying, "Edward, is it possible for you to stay with us instead? I know why you are behaving this way and trust me, she is safe with us around along with the council supervision. "
"What did you see, Nina? You better tell me, it's my right since it involves me! " Haniya burst at Nina, eye-begging her.
"Look, seeing the future is a tricky thing, and trust me, I want to tell you, but I can't. It's not my story to tell, "Nina explained and looked at Edward in pity.
"Okay, then I will move in tonight after dinner," Edward spoke in a commanding tone.
Then the elevator door opened and we went outside. Andrew was already waiting for us, so we stepped inside the car and went to the apartment.
The moment we entered the apartment, Haniya cornered Nina and said, in a threatening tone, "what is the matter, tell me in this instance, now".
Nina holds her hand up in surrender. "I am telling you this because you are threatening me right now. Okay, according to my prediction, Edward is more than a century old, and he has an enemy who will kill you and threaten him right before he meets you."
Haniya blinked and shook her head a little, clearly digesting what Nina said. "Why didn't you tell me before? It could have prepared me, man." Haniya sighed, touching her mark, which had disappeared.
Nina opened her mouth to say something, but Haniya beat her up and said, "I don't want to hear that stupid explanation you gave in the elevator. Seriously, you let him hurt me and I don't care what his excuse was for his action."
Nina spoke in irritation, "You sound as if you despise what he did." What the hell does she mean by that? I didn't want to interfere between them, but Nina had crossed the line.
"Enough Nina, what do you mean by that? Just because she was moaning doesn't mean she enjoyed it. " My voice was laced with anger.
"Now, you are twisting my words. I didn't mean that. What I meant was that Haniya was denying the fact that she fell in love with Edward at first sight. I heard your heartbeats, Hani. Your heartbeat was beating fast when he was near. And your heart skips a beat when you got to know about 'marking'. Eve told me that she sensed your affection during that time. " Nina said.
"Do you have any idea what you are saying?" Asha said, clearly disturbed by what Nina said.
"Actually, my wolf said the same thing, "Roshini spoke, and I forgot she was even here.
"Same," Yasmin let out and lifted her right arm in the air.
Haniya was lost in her thoughts and went to her room. Asha sifted into Roshini and my room. We joined our single bed into one making space for all three of us. Haniya told us that Edward and she will sleep separately in single beds. She was supposed to shift into Nina and Yasmin room but Haniya's wolf was pissed at her and was fighting for control. We couldn't risk her shifting and god know what she will do so Haniya will share a room with Edward.
Then we got ready. Asha did a no-makeup look on me that goes well with my silk pink dress. Asha has a glam makeup look to balance it out, she wore a simple black long dress with a split on the right side. Yasmin's look is inspired by the 'Euphoria character Rue' so she is wearing a red suit underneath a black crop top and her eye look is golden glitter. Nina's makeup is also inspired 'By Euphoria', her eye look is rose gold with white eyeliner giving a geometric look and she wore a backless dress making her bare back visible. Roshini has a soft glowing make-up look with a glittering silver jumpsuit. Lastly, Haniya has a soft matt make-up look, wearing a corset along with loose black pants.
We click plenty of photos, Nina and Roshini made a Tiktok video telling it a transition video. During my solo Picture, I got a call from Dad. I took a deep breath, mustered the energy to lie to him.
" Namaste Dad, how are you?" I said in one breath, well done to act normal.
" Namaste Beta, I'm fine. Are you busy right now?. " Dad answered.
" No Dad. I was taking my picture, we are going to an Italian restaurant for dinner." I spoke as naturally as possible.
" Oh okay, so what are the important issues Yasmin messages about in the group?" He asked in a curious tone.
"Dad we all sign a contract with an American company. It's a project relating to female safety and all of us have invested money in it." I spoke carefully remembering what was written in the contract.
" That's great news. It is good for you all to increase for reach. I am glad you are clever to know to secure your future." Dad happily spoke up after a few silence.
Well, that went good and I still have to announce the important part.
" Dad, we have to stay here until the project is stable enough," I muttered shutting my eyes tightly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY STAYING THERE? I ONLY GAVE PERMISSION FOR A TRIP, NOT FOR STAYING THERE.!" Dad screamed making me move the phone back away.
"Dad, this project has more scope to make a profit than my bakery. And I am not the only one staying here, all six of us will be living together." I try to make up an explanation for the fake project.
"WHO AM I NOW. YOU ARE CLEARLY SENSIBLE ENOUGH YOU MAKE DECISIONS BY YOURSELF." Dad spoke in anger and cut the line immediately after saying.
" Yasmin!" I scream out for my idiot sister. I didn't see the message if I did, I could be prepared to lie and we all should discuss it before telling our parents.
" What happened" Haniya came outside the balcony where I was taking pictures along with others.
" Yasmin you idiot. Why did you the message? Dad just called me. I had to make up a lie on the spot and you should discuss it with us then announced it to the family." I scold Yasmin.
Yasmin got shocked and told, " I wanted to announce that I completed my teaching course and my certificate will be mailed in the morning. Do you think I am that dumb to message without a discussion?" stared at me.
Shoot I mess up bad and explain to everyone what happened. I didn't lie much and it was a sufficient explanation for expanding our stay in America.
After a few minutes, our doorbell rang it was Andy who came to inform us Edward have arrived. Therefore we all went down and Edward was outside the car waiting for us. He is wearing a formal black three-piece suit, making him look handsome but that doesn't change the fact he is a jerk.
He looks only at Haniya with affection and smiles genuinely at her which she reciprocal bushing. Okay, this scene melts my heart, maybe I was too soon to judge him without knowing him first.
"Well, that's true," Halona spoke after I snap at her earlier.
" Finally, you spoke I was thinking why you haven't talked yet," I replied
" I try to reach you but you block me out." She muttered. What? I am confuse
"What do you mean by that," I asked
" Well, you block me out. You didn't want to talk to me so you created an invisible barrier between us. I finally broke through, I must say that was the strongest barrier I came across." Halona explained.
In return, I said "Sorry I didn't know about it." and in reply, I felt Halona moving her tail telling me is okay then she fell asleep.
" Yo, Disha comes inside," Roshini said bringing me into the present. Everyone is inside the car and I am the only one left.
" Dude, I block Halona throughout the day and I didn't even know it was possible," I spoke after seating inside the car.
"I know how to do it. Eve told me and it was my first question to ask since I am obsessed with my privacy. Asha and Yasmin, you can ask your wolves to teach you." Nina said, noticing their questioning face.
" Are you sure our wolves know how to do that?" Roshini asked.
" Actually, you all have ancient royal wolves so your wolves don't have a restriction to share you guys with information. But at times they may refuse to share or act naive for you to figure out yourself or what they seem right in the situation." Edward clarified.
" Edward, if you don't mind can you answer some of my questions. For you, it may sound foolish." Nina asked.
" Of course and I don't think it will be foolish, I understand this werewolf thing is new so you will have crazy doubts." He replies.
" Okay, so whatever happens the office. My wolf told me Haniya loved it but Haniya is refusing to admit it. Because I somehow know she is lying. How is this possible?" Nina spoke quickly before any of us stop her. This makes Haniya go red and all of our eyes widen.
Edward just chuckle and said " Well, your werewolf can detain a lie easily this is because our animal side is always straight forward unlike the human side. But there are other supernatural beings like a serpent shifter and kitsune who can pretend since it's in their nature to be mischief and cunning."
" Fuck Naag Naagin are real " Roshini whispered.
" What makes Sun-shinner and Moon-lighter different? " Roshini question next.
" Well, that stuff will teach you tomorrow and I will leave that because it has a long answer," Edward replies.
" After you mark me, I am feeling different as my sense has heightened and I can feel your emotions. How is this possible?" Haniya speaks quietly as if she is asking the question herself.
This makes Edward look at her and place his hand on her thigh giving her a small smile before saying. " As you know what marking does. It makes two souls into one so one can feel others emotions and sense if they are in danger. Normally, before someone receives their wolf, it heightened their sense but according to your all case, it may take a few days to heighten. Your sense heightened before others are because I marked you which triggered it." He explains while looking right at her, not giving a single glare toward the road. He is fucking driving the car and this action can cause our life which scares the shit out of me.
" Well, you should look at the road. You are scaring the shit out of Disha" Haniya spoke mesmerising at him and giggled.
" Wow you have fucking amazing chemistry but Hani is telling right please look at the road," Asha said breaking the sexual tension between them.
