STRANGE LAND : THE RESURRECTING JEWEL

A wolf sat at the top of a rock staring into the night . The rock was in a very strange place ,right in front of a bunch of tents and a bonfire hole in which a fire was lit but had been doused . The wolf looked back at the tents and went back to staring into the night sky . It closed its eyes and suddenly perked up its ears and turned around and opened its eyes and jumped down the rock and with the jump transformed into a girl with her hair tied back in a long ponytail and had jet black eyes complimented her fair skin and she was slender and gave of the aura of a leader and on her neck she wore a necklace  and on her neck were 2 teeth marks which was proof that she was a mated wolf .

She walked to the end of the tents and and closed her eyes and strained her ears to listen to what she wished it wasn't . but a pair of eyes and a large pair of horns charging towards them confirmed her fears and she ran ,transformed into a wolf and howled at the top of her voice .Her voice woke up the entire camp . a guy came out with his eyes scanning the surroundings and asked "what happened" in a terrified tone she yelled back "Minotaur" she pointed to the enormous bull charging towards them  

the Minotaur was charging at their camp .  . The Minotaur was a creature which had the face and tail of a bull and the body of a man . suddenly the guy screamed " Annanya look out "  the creature was out of control and  charging at her, she dint have time to move out , she just turned back and  just closed her eyes and waited for impact of the horns.

Abhay woke up with a shock . He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes . These dreams were taunting him for a few weeks . Ever since he came back from the wolf camp and the villa of the alpha he really wanted to go back . In reality he never wanted to leave but Annanya told him that he had to stay in the human world until he was ready to stay there for ever cause his parents had to know that he was not their son and also he had to learn to control. He was having a tough time controlling his wolf urges to help with that Annanya had lent him her asthma pump . More of it was a herb which helped him to relax and stop him from hunting  or killing people . Though he was told to let go during full moon nights when it gets uncontrollable for werewolves to control it . But the main reason he wanted t go back was because he wanted to be with twin Annanya she was the one person who understood him without even him talking to her.The last time he had met her was during her royal wedding when she married Abhimanyu her mate and also the Alpha . So she was now both the Beta and the Luna and her responsibilities had increased she was second in command of both the warriors and the household .  Also he wanted to be with Naina his girlfriend . She had given him permission to mark her but he dint have time for anything with her and also he had't got to meet her and she just came back but in the human world marriage is the thing that actually binds them together and his parents permission was necessary . He was really finding it difficult to mostly juggle both this worlds . As if he had't had enough already had enough going on he had started having dreams of mostly the camp and the villa getting attacked by creatures he dint know existed dragons , vampires and Minotaur and stuff .

He got out of bed and went towards the small table he had near the mirror his room was not too small nor was it too big he had a full length mirror and a small table near it he had two lamps on either  sides of his bed .he had clap on lights which usually was the way he liked everything to work according to his clap . His bed was a spring mattress . It had a blue sheet with white waves on it and the blanket was blue of the same shade of blue as the sheets and his pillows were white . Abhay clapped his hands and the lights came on he looked for the water on the table and picked up the bottle and drank from it without even pouring it out into the glass. He never had used the glass though his mother washed and kept it there everyday . 

he stood for sometime and when he kept the bottle down his eyes wandered to a photo on the table a it was him hugging a wolf and smiling and somehow it looked as if the wolf was smiling too. He picked up the photo and smiled at it after all it was his idea to hug her in that form before he left and came to the human world . he smiled and kept the photo back and went back to his bed before he could get back his phone buzzed and he banged his leg on the table near his bed when he tried to get the phone . He winced in pain and it sounded like a dog in pain . "DAMN ," he said as he rubbed his leg he was banging his leg and wincing like a dog very often nowadays . he picked his phone it was his next day schedule sent by  his assistant and the next message was from Naina it read  ' HEY , CAN YOU MEET ME TOMORROW AT THE LIBRARY , NEED TO TALK' . Naina saying NEED TO TALK  was not abnormal. She used to say it almost all the time and even if she needed a book or even if a family member died he was the one she talked about everything . But since she wanted to meet he thought that after all they hardly had time to meet so he thought it was fine to go see her .He sent a message back saying ' FINE , I'LL BE THERE BY 5 ' . He shut down his phone and lay back on his bed and switched on  the dream catcher which said  life is great . He got it when he was a kid but kept it as it helped him sleep whenever he couldn't . He thought to himself everything will be alright tomorrow is a new day.

The next day as Abhay walked out of the class he felt a little uneasy not knowing why. Maybe he felt that these dreams had a connection with him . There was a and there must be a reason as to why he was getting the dreams again and again . When he looked at his phone he realised as to it was almost 5. So he quickly packed up his things and rushed out . So he grabbed his keys and raced out to his car . He was really thankful for all the training he had while at the camp . He raced his car all the way to the library and rushed over to the table at which they usually sat and Naina was aldready there reading her favorite book about werewolves that was covering her face . He hurried over and sat at the table and said "sry got stuck "

As he bent down to pick up a file from his bag Naina spoke up "late again" . But listening to her voice Abhay froze . He would recognize this voice anywhere and he knew for a fact that it wasn't Naina . He looked up and the book was still covering her face but Abhay knew who the girl behind the book was " Annanaya" he said .

The girl put down the book and Annanya had a sly smile on her face she was dressed in a simple white shirt that covered her arms and a pair of light blue torn jeans . That was not her clothesbut rather Naina's clothes . 

Abhay:"why are you dressed like that "

Annanaya:" well I wasn't sure if you were still mad at me so I thought why not call you as Naina and since you might turn away from me if you saw me so I dressed like Naina " 

Abhay :" so you fit into her clothes " 

Annanya :"No of course not she got them for me , but I'll tell you I am not wearing her heels man they kill my feet " 

Abhay :" well for starters I am mad and second I'm pretty sure you came here for a reason so spill it sis " 

When Abhay said that he heard a loud "shhhhh" from an old lady sitting in her chair .

Annanya closed her book and said " let's talk over coffee" 

She left the huge book there and grabbed her bag and left the library . The lady behind the desk at the counter smiled at Annanya as they walked out and Annanya answered with a " thanks again Tia " 

They both walked down the street and went to the cafe and as they sat down at the table Abhay asked first 

Abhay:" what happened to you" Annanya had her right hand bandaged 

She simply replied 

Annanya :" Minotuar attack " 

Abhay :" so my dreams are true , I just thought they were just nightmares " 

Annanya :" nope it works like that for twins sometimes our minds connect unknowingly and so we can see what the other is seeing so you dreams are just what I was experiencing" 

Abhay:" so what do you need " 

Annanya :" well we need you to come back " 

Abhay:" I know that question is why " 

Annanya : "you know that the we're wolves are a species that not everyone or at least not every human knows about right " 

Abhay : " spare me what I know and tell me wht do you want me for " 

Annanya :" you still have to work on your listening, so other than werewolves there are other creatures in the woods that we live in . The only reason we don't see them is because all the packs are defended by a defence sheild that comes from an ancient tree that lies in the depths of the forests protected by all the packs in the woods . The tree mostly protects us and our world from the humans and also from the other creatures of the forest which may harm us . It inculedes vampires stealing our unmated she wolves . " 

Abhay :" uh.. why exactlydo the vampires want the unmated she wolves " 

Annanya :" because vampires cant produce by themselves they need werewolves to produce and also cause a crossbreed of a vampire and a werewolf are mostly very dangerous cause they are bloodsuckers and also ferocious beasts . We managed to make sure that none of the she wolves got taken away . But the major problem is something else " 

Abhay :" which is .." 

Annanya :" we realised that the vampires started attacking us even though the sheild never allows them to pass and so that night when the minotaur attacked me I just hurt my hand cause our dad saved me " 

Abhay :" VICTOR IS ALIVE " 

Annanya :" No not Victor our real dad . His name is Sameer he was Victor's beta he pretty much leads the lone wolves he pulled me aside before the minotaur hit me and he literally took the creature buy it's horns and twisted it and killed it " 

Abhay :" wow our dad sounds pretty awesome  for a beta " 

Annanya :" but he had a reason to meet us well the tree is also known as Demitra as it grows on the body of the first Luna ever Demitra . But now Demitra seems to be dying she looks almost dead and hence the the sheilds of our camp and the divide in our world's are mostly blurring and it is making it dangerous for both us and the other creatures . " 

Abhay :" how is it a problem for other creatures " 

Annanya :" Minotaurs are peaceful creatures the world of the Minotaurs are pretty nice they are just afraid of others hence we don't intend to kill them so we don't usually let them see us but I guess the camp kinda startled that one so he attacked " 

Abhay :" so why is my role in this "

Annanya :" there is a way to heal Demitra there is a jewel known as the resurecting jewel an ancient jewel that lies in the forest of the nymps a misterious  forest deep in the jungle it's land lost in time . Known to only a few . Mostly only to merlins "

Abhay :" Annanya I'm serious I really don't known where it is " 

Annanya :" I know you don't you dint even know about being the Merlin . The point t is that you will figure it out you will known the way also I and you are the only ones who can actually get there only a Merlin and their Omega can go through the mist that covers the forest everyone else usually falls into a deep sleep "

Abhay :" how come only we can go " 

Annanya :" well mostly because the power that we posses together make a protective sheild for us to go through and hence we can get through . But the problem is the Talta "

Abhay :" what's a Talta " 

Annanya :"I don't know nobody does actually nobody has stayed alive to know that and tell the tale " 

Abhay :" so they are something that kills anyone who goes through that way " 

Annanya :" mostly but only those who can make it through the mist so seriously before you can reach the Talta you are usually asleep and those who manage to get through the mist well usually end up dead or unconscious without knowledge of what they saw so yeah we don't know wht the Talta is " 

Abhay :"  so you expect us to go into the scary forest with the vampires and other weird crazy creatures roaming around waiting to kill us and then go through a sleep drifting mist and then face some crazy creatures known as Talta and get the jewel for some tree " 

Annanya :" not some tree the tree that protects us and yes that's pretty much the idea " 

Abhay :" ok look I like to help but seriously this is not Victor and his army and this time there is no army we are going to be on our own so I'm not so sure we can pull it off " 

Annanya :" look this time even I'm not saying I can do it but it's our only choice . Look I would have done it alone but only you know the way and plus I can't get through the mist without you . But it's your choice and if you do agree then trust me people have to get through me to get to you . Trust me ."

Abhay :" I'm not so sure . Can I think about it " 

Annanya :" ok but make it within a week that's how long we can hold off the vampires even our cloaking technology can't hold them of they have a stronger sense of smell than we do " 

Abhay :" yeah I'll let you know . But why you giving me a choice why dint you just say that I have to do it like you always do ?" 

Annanya :" Well this time it's your life that we are risking and hence I guess you should have a choice and if you do come I'll consider about you staying with us " 

Abhay :" ok I'll call you " 

Annanya :" cool later bro " 

Annanya pulled up her bag and walked out of the cafe . The cafe was warm and Abhay ordered a coffee and sat at his table staring out side the window the cafe was mostly a small restaurant it had about a dozen tables and few of them were near the wall and the glass wall covered the rest of the space . The cafe faced the street and it had a small counter with the cashier and the waitress and waiter getting orders ready . Abhay saw Annanya walking down the road and going towards a bike and she put a helmet on and sped away on he bike  .

Abahy payed the bill and walked out of the cafe he walked towards the library and found his car and sat in it and didn't t drive away . He recalled everything that just happened. His sister was hurt , his friends were in danger and he had to risk his life for them again and this time they weren't going to be there to help him . Suddenly his phone rang he subconscious picked ansaid " hello " 

Naina's voice rang out :" how was you date with Annanya " 

Abhay :" Naina first off a date with my sis sounds weird and second I'm still in bit if a fix "

Naina :" so are you going or not "

Abhay :" I haven't decided yet " 

Naina :" well I hope you are we really need to find the jewel " 

Abahy :" I'll try to muster some reason to go " 

Naina :" ok I'll give you one . Meet you there " 

Abhay :" ok that really helped thx . Bye " 

Naina :" bye "

Abahy put down the phone and punched the steering wheel of the car and thought to himself why is everyone against him . He just remember what Annanya always told him ' without fear there can be no courage " 

. He wanted to help but he wasn't sure if he could do it . He wasn't hesitant to lay down his life his only fear was not to let anyone down not when so many people were counting on him . 

He drave back home in a haze and parked the car . As he went in his mom's voice called out to him :" Abhay is that you . " 

Abhay :" yes mom " 

She gave her usual dialog " your late for dinner freshen up and come down " .

Abhay had lost his appetite and said back " I'm not hungry and I have aldready eaten " 

His mom's frustrated" fine kids don't want home cooked food anymore " was the answer he received .

He flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling . He closed his eyes and remembered the events and the memories of the war came back to him his fight with Victor his sister almost dying and then coming back the very fact of her coming back to life and breathing was something that made him happy . He dint mean it when he said that he was mad , she was the one and only person he just couldn't hate no matter how much she drives him crazy .

He was so ingrossed in his thoughts that he dint hear his room door opeaned and his dad came in . He came back when his dad called .

Kiran (Abhays dad) : "not coming for food" 

Abhay rolled his eyes his father had a habit of asking the same question that his mother had aldready asked 

Abhay :" dad , mom aldready raced you to ask that question and I said I've aldready eaten " 

Kiran :" no you haven't I know that ,you just don't want food cause you are worried " 

Abhay :" you know me so well" was Abhay's scarcastic answer.

Kiran :" so why are u worried " 

Abhay :" you wouldn't understand" 

Kiran :" why not ? " 

Abhay :" because you won't know why I am worried and you won't believe me "

Kiran :" if this is about you being a werewolf I aldready know that "

Abhay literally felt like he dint hear him right 

Abhay :" what do you mean" 

Kiran :" listen I know that , I knew for the time that other guy stood up as you " 

Abhay :" looks like I have to erase your memory " 

Kiran :" oh come on even if you do I know that your not my son . Look you came to me rather I found you on our doorstep and we had just lost our own kid so I took you and kept you next to your mom and removed our still born  and your mother doesn't know this so she believes that you are her son" 

Abhay :" well then I guess I don't have to but tell me does ...."

Kiran:" does Annanya know ,no she doesn't the fact about these things she kept it a secreat but I know a few things. I know we are not that close but I observe a lot of things about you so I know that that guy was not you especially when he don't act as scarcastic as you are with me usually . But I knew you had a job to do so I covered up for you so you see I know a few things about you so for once why don't you tell me your problem and I can try to solve it" 

Abhay :" ok fine , I meet Annanya today and she said that I had to come back because there is some weakning of the sheild that protectsthe werewolves and there are more creatures other than werewolves so I need to go with her and we'll find something known as the resurecting jewel."

Kiran :" so what's the problem " 

Abhay :" the problem is this that when I went for war I had an army with me to help me fight but this time it's going to be just me and the point is this that what if I let everyone down . Because they trusted each other before but now it's only me they trust so I'm not so sure if I should go or not " 

Kiran :" oh so ur worried of letting down your packs belief " 

Abhay : " yep " 

Kiran :" well abhya tell me something was your pack bigger than the enemy's ?" 

Abhay :" no " 

Kiran :" were you stronger than your enemy " 

Abhay :" no " 

Kiran :" then how did you win ? You won because you believed in yourself . Well that's the key to any battle belief in yourself . Look going or not is your decision. But whatever you decide son well do it because you believe and trust yourself and you decision . Believe in  your decision and see it will work out " 

Abhay :" you know you sound like Annanya . But thx dad. " 

Kiran :" anytime son and it seems that sometimes we can get along with each other without having a fight all the time " 

Abhay chucked and said :" I guess we can " 

Kiran left Abhay alone to think . He looked at the photo on his desk and staring at him reminded exactly what Annanya had said was why his father had said " believe in yourself" . He was the Merlin people believed in him and he didn't want to let them down . He remember and said to himself " believe it then be it " 

He was ready and he was going to save them even at the cost of his own life .

PART 1 ENDS HERE

Annanyareached the camp late driving from there even if she used a portal was difficult and pretty far . She for a minute and made sure she was not being followed and sped her bike towards an empty clearing and as she got closer she suddenly disappeared . She mostly went into the camaflauge limit and it showed a huge stone . She halted her bike there and pressed a symbol of a moon on the stone and the ground below her started to move and she and her bike started desending down as she reached the bottom she drove her bike to a clearing where many vehicles were parked and got off the bike turned it off and grabbed the keys and went. The clearing was actually a parking for the wolves vehicles and it was more of a huge ground in front of the clearing was a huge Villa. The villa was mostly a huge house and so was pretty much a huge house with a point ty tower on the top of the house . That was actually the library that she had the books she required . 

Annanya walked towards the door and knocked. A tall man in a suit opeaned the door and said " welcome back Luna " . Annanya replied " thank you Fred . Do u know where the alpha is " 

Fred :" yes , he is on the top floor in the library " 

Annanya:" ok thx " 

Annanya raced up the stairs beside the common room and went through the corridor and went towards the store room inside it she pressed  a code on the number pad and a stairs unfloded from above . She went up the stairs and as she did the stairs folded behindher and camaflauged into the ceiling . Annanya entered the huge library it was bigger than it looked like with books in huge shelves and a few more books in the stairs above the older shelves it was a sphere in structure mostly the way Annanya mostly wanted it like that . She looked around the library and saw Abhimanyu putting back a book and getting down a new one . As he looked at her she bowed her head in respect and said 

Annanya :" sry for intervening alpha " 

Abhimanyu:" why's bothering you " 

Annanya lifted her head and asked " why do ask that ?" 

Abhimanyu:" when you are damn formal.with me I know something is bothering you " 

Annanaya flopped down on one of the chairs there with a frustrated grunt . Abhimanyu came and kneeled on the door in front of her and held her hand and said " what's wrong " 

Annanya :" well I'm not sure if Abhay will come or not and if he doesn't then I'm not sure why to do " 

Abhay :" hey , he is ur brother I'm sure he will come " 

Annanya :" did you find out what happenedto Demitra " 

Abhimanyu:" well yes she seems to be poisoned we found a dart near her and it had poison on it . Trying to find  a cure or antidote for it our healers are still working on it . But the poison is nothing like we have ever come across . I'm still wondering who it can be " 

Annanya :" I might have a thought on who it can be " 

Abhimanyu:" hey by the way want to make a baby " 

Annanya :"  and I thought parents we're the only ones who bugged us about kids . Why are you so desperate for a child " .

Abhimanyu:" I'm sry it's just that I want a new alpha or Luna for the pack  the pack needs hope that there will be a new leader for them look I don't mean to presurise you but you know I want a kid " 

Annanya :" I know but you know I'm not sure about the pregnancy and stuff and with this problem having a kid will not be easy " 

Abhimanyu:" I understand so just chill we will have it when you are ready " 

Annanya :" ok I'm tired you coming?" 

Abhimanyu:" I have a little work left you go on I'll come later " 

Annanya :" cool" 

Annanya walked down and went all the way to her chamber . She sat on the bed and put her hands around her stomach and put her head down . She had no idea that this would happen and was not sure how to tell Abhimanyu. She had to go with Abhay and Abhimanyu would not let her go if he found out that she was in that situation. She was scared but she was pregnant and she knew it for some time now only she didn't tell Abhimanyu because he wanted a child and then there was no way he would let her go . She don't tell Abhay as well because safety of werewolves depended on him coming or not . And he would say no if he found out that he was going to be an uncle . Annanya knew only one person she could call and she picked up her mobile and went out to the balcony . Her chamber was very spacious and hence she had enough room for both her and Abhimanyu for privacy it was sound proff . It had a huge bed with white sheets pillows and a light blue quilt and blanket it had a 2 closets one for each and had all their cloths, shoes weapons and jewels and all their accessories. 

Her chamber also included a picture of her and Abhimanyuand a long mirror in the corner it also had a small longue and 2chairs for them to have any peace they wanted . 

The balcony was her favoriteplce and she wanted any privacy she could get it there she shut the door behind her as she didn't want anyone to know about what she wanted to talk about . She mailed the number and waited after 2rigs a gentle yet stern voice sounded from the other side

Sameer :" hello " 

Annanya  :" hey ,dad can I talk  in private" 

Sameer:" sure " 

Annanya :" dad I spoke to Abhay I'm not sure he wants to come and plus Abhimanyu wants a kid and I have no idea ...." 

Sameer :" you don't know how to tell him . " 

A sigh on the other side confirmed  Sameer.

Sameer:" Annanya look the problem of you pregency is between you and Abhimanyu and I can't interfere in that but trust me when time is right you will tell him and you will know when and how to tell him about it . But don't hide it from him he needs to know and also he is the father . Also about Abhay he will come I know him he has both courage and the strength but most of he believes he just needs a little push from people and I guess he got it ."

Annanya :" let's hope he works with the life growing inside me I'm not going to be more weak and he needs to protect himself " 

Annanya herd a creak at the time and noticed Nicholas coming inside she smiled at him and he settled himself in the bed . She quickly said goodbye to her father and cut the call . She went inside . Nicholas was a child of about 9 years and was mostly Annanyas nephew , son of cousin sister born from Victor's sister  who she hadn't seen in quite a few years after she gave Nicholas to her . He was mostly fair skined and had red cheeks and the boy was quite tall for his age and the courage he had was from his mother . 

Nicholas's eyes followed Annanya and when she came back and sat beside him he quickly piped up 

Nicholas:" who was it " 

Annanya :" just my dad " 

Nicholas :" I wish I knew my dad " 

Annanya hugged the littleguy and said :" one day you will , even I didn't know my dad at first now I do so you will too one day " 

Nicholas:" do you think I can be an alpha to one day and you know at least a beta " 

Annanya:" well I don't know about being the alpha but about being a beta you can if you will the trust of the next alpha or Luna . "

Nicholas:" really?" 

Annanya:" yep because I know you have courage and strength and loyalty so I think you might have a chance " 

Nicholas touched Annanyas stomach and said :" I will win your trust alpha or Luna I will be loyal to you "

Annanya almost froze for a second . When she came to her senses she asked him only one question

Annanya :" how on Earth did you know" 

Nicholas :" just because I'm small dosent mean I can't find out a few things . I usually hang with the healers a, they tell me a lot about how a girl behaves when she is pregnant and you have been showing a lot of symptoms" 

After a while he noticed Annanya was not talking and said :" don't worry I won't tell I know you do everything for a reason"

Annanya :" thx buddy ,but this time I'm not sure what to do "

Nicholas:" hey chill when time comes.es you'll know till then if want to talk I'm there for you" 

Annanya :" thx , your pretty wise for your age you know "

Nicholas gave a proud face annd said :" I know " 

Annanya :" and a little annoying" 

Nicholas :" I know that too" 

Annanya smiled at her little nephew though she never got along with her sister this guy was someone she could never be mad at at least not when he spoke to her . Nicholas got up from the bed (jumped down as his feet never reached the floor ) and with a smile and a small bow walked out of the room . Annanya layed back on her bed and thought for sometime . She then got of the bed and walked out of the room climbed down the stairsand then went to the hall and flopped down on a chair and she sat up straight and then connected her mind to her brother .

Abhay just fell asleep when his mind wandered and he found himself in a green medow with dasies and he saw Annanya with her hair loose and her wearing a long white gown tied at her neck 

He went closer and asked "another mind connection"

Annanya :" yes I thoughti will be necessary " 

Abhay :" I'm happy you did I really needed to ask you ,.... Do you really think that we can do this, I believe in myself and trust you but I'm not sure that this is going to be ok . I'm not afraid but im not so ok with this " 

Annanya :" courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear "

Abhay :" so your saying that I have to decide what is necessary that I have to overcome fear " 

Annanya :" I'm saying that it's ok to have fear but you can overcome it only if you decide what is important than fear " 

Abhay :" I'm in if you believe and we need to save our species then I'm not going to back away . I always wanted to make a change in life and I guess this is my chance " 

Annanya :" spoken like a true leader "

Abhays dream we t blank and he fell asleep 

Sameer was glued to his laptop in his personal chamber and was working on a protective sheild and camaflauge design which he and Abhimanyu we're working on together . He knew his son would come but he also knew that it was dangerous. He put down the laptop and stood up for a  real . Sameer was a tall man in his fifties but had the structure and strength of a man in thirties . He had a wise face and white hair and also a beard which was not very long . He had dark brown eyes which his children had inherited from him but his hair used be jet black which only Annanya had .. he wore a white shirt which showed off his masculine and we'll maintained body and long legs was what gave him his height . Sameer was worriedfor a long time since he knew that the tree was dying. He had seen his children from their first battle their strength and belief in each other was incredible and he knew that he could count on them but he was not sure if Annanya going there was ok or not she being pregnant and all she needed to take rest but she had to go with her brother and hence she had no choice but to go along . As much as Sameer loved  them and he wanted them safe but this was the question of the entire species and hence he had to led them go . This matter worried him the most he wasn't sure to let them go or not . He turned his head towards a huge portrait of a women with long wavy hair and blue eyes with a beautiful smile and also a wonderful stance of turning around . He looked at her in a loving way . He said as though speaking to her 

Sameer :" I wish you were here Tina I really need you "

Jake :" we all need her " 

Sameer turned around to see Jake his beta standing behind him . Jake was a tall and slender guy who was stronger than he looked like . He had grey eyes and black hair which was tied into a small pony at the back of his head . He was tall but again not as tall as Sameer who was a few inches more . 

When Sameer turned towards him he bowed in respect . Sameer had been his friend since childhood and was the one who helped him and Tina to spend time with each other and sneak away .

Sameer :" hey James " 

James :" hello alpha " 

Sameer :" what's with the formality " 

James :" I have news " 

Sameer :" which is " 

James :" our old enemies are gathering forces if we don't act fast then no place will be safe on this Earth " 

Sameer :" arg ,those blood sucking bastards , the day I get my hands on them I will literally tear them all apart " 

James :" also our spies said that the dart was hit by one of our own " 

Sameer :" who ?" 

James :" not sure " 

Sameer :" well anything else " 

James :" well no not yet though" 

Sameer :" I just hope they are going to be ok , I'm scared and worried about my kids , I'm after all their father it's my job to be worried " 

James :" your children have your strength and their mothers wisdom . Nothing could go wrong " 

Sameer :" well let's hope for the best " .

He turned around and continued looking at Tina  she somehow seemed to be reassuring him . " Well she could always do that " he thought to himself .

Abhay sat on the chair of his cabin and stared blankly at the ceiling with his head bent backwards and the seat reclining . He was thinking about even if he did go how was he even going to get the way to go he still hadn't had any memory of any kind of jewel . Let alone resurrecting one . He straigned the chair and called Annanya and asked her to come and that he was going to drive till their house . After that he picked up his car keys and drove till the cafe where they had the conversationand also he had asked her to meet him there .

As he reached he saw her there with her hair left loose and with a camo t-shirtand black jeans with denim shoes . As she saw his car on the other side of the street she crossed over and sat in the passenger seat . He quickly started the car and drove on to find a lonely place . They sat quitely for quite some time until annaya finally spoke up 

Annanya :" we are being followed" 

Abhay herd and checked in his rear view mirror and saw that they were being followed by 4 motor bikes chasing them . By this time they had reached an empty street so Annanya signaled him to speed up . Abahy stepped on the accelater and the car zoomed away in uncontrollable speed the bikers with helmets realised and increased their speed . The chase was crazy as the bikers zoomed with the car going crazy . When they reached a street to small for the car , Abhay saw a pile aof pipes at the side of the road and he looked at the rear view mirror and he took a reverse and said :" hold on " and he stepped on the pedal the car went at top speed and Abhay made the car almost tilte enough to squeeze through the gap . The car made it but with strach marks on it . Abhay yelled 

Abhay :" my car " 

Annanya :" oh come on I'll fix for you " 

With that she unbuckled her seat belts and opeaned a window and threw a bunch of balls at the bikers . The balls pushed out spikes as the bikers went on them it pushed and flatened their tires and a 2of them fell and one of them pulled of his helmet and waited for the others to reach so he could climb on them and follow 

Annanya :" vampires " 

Abhay :" how on Earth do you know that ?" Annanya :" I saw that guy's fangs " 

Abhay realised they when he had looked at the guy he actually had 2 long tooth which actually were fangs . 

Abhay dint stop he pumped the gas and sped away again Annanya threw a ball which swiched I to a portal and as the car went through it , it closed . The bikers were right behind them they threw a ball and their portal opened and they went rgt through it the bikers as they went in they saw Abhays red car sped on in the front and they went behind it and the car dodged the trees and went the bikers pulled out a gun and shot the petrol tank of the car . The car blew up in the middle of the way . One of the guys pulled out a phone and spoke " we blew up their car their taken care of " . On the other side of the phone a voice of a female said " good very good boys " . 

Annanya and Abhay saw the entire stuff from behind the tree . 

Abhay :" I just got it remodified and I have to even paid the EMI of the car " 

Annanya :" I promise I'll get you a knew one " 

Abhay :" U better you just drove the car with a remote and it still blew up " 

Annanya :" well at least you don't have to pay to get it towed " 

Annanya just smiled and they transformed into wolves and ran towards the house . The casa was kinda far and as their car blew up there was no way they we're making it home in one night . So they stopped on the way to get some rest .

As Annanya curled up to sleep Abhay quickly came between her . Annanya asked 

Annanya :" you can transform pretty well now why do you need me to keep you warm " 

Abhay :" you are more comfortable than the ground" 

Annanya rolled her eyes and lifted her tail and allowed him to sleep on her stomach. 

In The middle of the night as Abhay woke up as Annanya jerked off and ran behind a tree . As she got up she pushed Abhays head down . Abhay sat up and then got to see what was wrong . He saw behind a tree and saw Annanya in her human form puking .

Abhay :" are you ok ?" 

Annanya :" Yeah sure why won't I " 

Abhay :" Really cause your kinda puking your guts out " 

Annanya :" Must be something I ate " 

Abhay :" Looks like human food dosent agree with you " 

Annanya :" I think it must be the coffee" 

Abhay :" If you say so , can we go back to sleep " 

Annanya :" I don't want to wake you up again " 

Abhay :" I don't mind come on " 

Annanya returned to her wolf form and went back to the same position and went back to sleep . Abhay lay back with his head on her stomach and layed back to a relax himself and this time he dint have any more weird dreams . 

Abhay and Annanya reached back at the camp in the afternoon and we're welcomed like a Merlin and the Omega are welcomed as . Every wolf they passed bowed to them and the kids were the first ones to come all over them bombarding them with questions and also Abhay realised that the wolves seemed to be more . 

Abhay :" Did the wolves increase are am I just imagining things " 

Annanya :" No , looks like dad has come to see you and he brought his pack with him " 

Abhay and Annanya crossed the training patch and went to the villa and the door was answered with the first knock by Taylor . He bowed to them and stepped aside to let them in . 

Abhay followed Annanya up the stairs and she led him to a different room on the first floor and opeaned it . The room was the only one on that floor . Abhay always wondered why . 

As he went inside he realised that it was a conference room with the alpha and beta 's of all the packs sitting around. Annanya went and took her place next to Abhimanyu and motioned Abhay to sit on the chair that faced everyone .

The conference table was an oval table with about a lot of chairs around the table he noticed at the other side he noticed another man who was sitting on the other side facing Annanya . He looked a lot like Abhay . His eyes were the exact same as his and Annanyas . Abhay at once understood when he stood up and walked towards Abhay   and hugged him  that he was his father his real father . 

Sameer :" hello son you have grown a lot since I last saw you " 

Abhay :" you last saw me when I was a baby " 

Sameer :" I hope your sister explained as to why I had to leave you in the human world " 

Abhay:" I know dad , well it's actually good to see you " 

Sameer showed him to his seat and Sameer sat at his place and Abhay walked over to the chair that was at one side of the table facing everyone at the table 

Abhay :" well so should I guess that getting that jewel is the only way to revive the tree " 

Hearing this the wolves started to speak up about their opinions. 

Werewolf 1 :" shouldn't we consider finding an antidote" 

We're wolf 2 :" We have there is no antidote for this " 

Werewolf 3:" There is no poison without an antidote " 

Werewolf 1 exactly " 

Werewolf 5 :" but by the time we find one Demitra might die " 

 The wolves started to shout and finally Abhimanyu yelled :" EVERYBODY QUITE " 

The wolves started to shush down and finally Annanya spoke up 

Annanya :" wise alphas and betas we have heard all your concerns and we have considered them all but for the time we see no other way than to find the jewel , " 

The werewolves started murmuring so Annanya continued 

Annanya :" but the healers will still continue to make sure that they try to desifer the poison and hence whichever is quicker will be applied " 

The werewolves had a vote and Annanyas decision was agreed upon and hence Abhay finally stood up and said 

Abhay :" since that is decided I would like to ask all the warriors to stay alert and to defend all the others . " 

The werewolves stood up.and bowed to the Merlin and all cleared out leaving only Abhimanyu,Annanya ,Abay and Sameer and James . 

Abhimanyu:" I think we will give you three a minute alone " 

Abhimanyu motioned James to follow him and they both went out . The three remaining wolves sat in silence till some time 

Sameer finallyspoke up :" so are you two sure about this " 

Annanya :" there is no other way we have to " 

Abhay :" but what if the healers figured it out " 

Sameer :" they can't the poison has no antidote no matter it will require a vampire to make the poison and nothing is more deadly and impossible to cure other than ..." 

Annanya :" vampire venom" 

Abahy :" and we can't trust them " 

Sameer :" yep rgt again " 

Abhay :" well looks like we are going . So when. We leaving " 

Annanya :" tomorrow, get some rest today and you might want to take a dip in the lake " 

Abhay :" why?" 

Annanya smiled and said :" dad charged the water with his memories so you want to see more. Go take a dip " 

Annanya walked out and so did Sameer and left Abhay alone. He sat I. Silence for some time till the door opened and Naina came in and sat at his side.

Abhay :" do you think I can do it " Abhay suddenly spoke up 

Naina :" Of course you can your. Other the Merlin for nothing" 

Abhay :" it's not something even a Merlin can do " 

Naina :" I trust you not in the Merlin but in my mate . So does everyone else so you believe in yourself ok "

She kissed him on the cheek and left . Abhay knew that he was going to go after all if everyone did the. He could trust himself too .

As asked by Annanya he went to the lake at night he saw his dad sitting there . Abhay went and sat beside him 

Abhay :" hey dad " 

Sameer:" You know this was one of the most important place for me and your mother " 

Abhay :" why is that " 

Sameer :" This is the place we met got to know each other and also fell in love at this very place .

Abhay :" wow I guess this place is important for all of us " 

Sameer:" because Annanya and you found your mates here " 

Abhay :" can I really see mom in the lake " 

Sameer :" I charged it with my memories so you can see "

Abhay took of his shirt and pants and in his boxers dived into the lake he swimmed and till a particular time stopped at a point  and opened his eyes and saw the water take forms and saw his mother and her face come before him . The water showed her fallingfor his father, saving him from Victor and finally Victor killing her ,her fighting for the time for Annanya to run away and finally shooting herself. 

Abhay came up gasping for air. Sameer saw him and got up to help him out of the lake . He pulled Abhay out of the lake and Abhay asked 

Abhay :" How on Earth did you meet "

Sameer :" It's a pretty long story " 

Abhay :" well I do have time and I didn't quite understand everything in the lake memories" 

Sameer :" That's because that is not the whole story"

Abhay :" those are just memories I want to know what happened" 

Sameer :" Well first you need to understand that there are few humans who know about werewolves and usually make deals with them . To be safe the high class people usually make deals with werewolves to be safe and in turn offer them something most of the time it is the daughters of such families that usually become the Luna's of the pack. They are married of to alpha of the high packs who in return promise to help the noble families in time of need " 

Abhay :" And why are you telling me this " 

Sameer :" Because your mother was one of them too "

Sameer put his hand forward with his palm facing Abhay and Abhay understood that he wanted to show him what had happened. Abhay put his palm facing g Sameer and as their palms touched Abhay closed his eyes and was dragged to a memory of about 30 years back 

30 YEARS BACK 

Tina stood at her balcony pondering about the treaty that her father had decided for her to marry see werewolf and become the Luna or the new queen of the werewolves pack . Doing this just so that their family and their people will have the protection of the werewolves. Tina was a girl of 24and was  very prettyfor her age she had long straight her till her waist which was tied into a long braid and her eyes which were jet black . She was fair In complexion she was tall for her size .

" Still wondering about my decision" a voice brought Tina back from her thoughts . She knew that it was her father . 

Tina : " No I don't oppose your decydad it's just  I'm not so sure that I'm ready for this kind of stuff for like to be married for benefit" 

Liam (Tina's dad) : " Don't think I don't love you sweetheart it's just I'm have to do this or it's going to be a tough day for us aldready, I'm not proud of the fact that I have to give away my only daughter to the alpha in marriage but you know why I have to do this I'm old and not able to keep the people of the country safe I need help " 

Tina knew that her father mentioned what he said as being a king of the place he had a duty to the people and would do anything for it and she was taught from a young age that she will have to sacrifice everything for her people's safety and happiness .

Tina :" Ill do this father for you and our people " 

 Her father hugged her and escorted her to their lawn . There was a small meeting in the lawn with the alpha Victor , his beta , and a few pack members in the lawn . As she came towards them she stopped looking at the alpha he looked completely scary black hair , emotionless eyes and his face looked like he was going to devour her . She stopped looking at him and lowered her eyes . 

Liam :" Alpha this is my daughter ....." 

Victor :" I know who she is I don't need another intro about her skills and her talents all I need to know is if she can give birth or not " 

Victor boomed without even giving. Liam time to finish his sentence .

Liam stuttered and said " yes ,..uh she can have children"

Victor :" That's good enough for me " he turned to Tina and said " there are a few rules you have to follow as my Luna they are......." 

Tina looked up and as she wasn't brave enough to see Victor her eyes wandered to the guy beside him and she dint hear a word Victor was saying as  she hadn't seen a guy so good looking as him . She started staring at him she dint know that werewolves could look so good the guy had wavy jet black hair and browneyes which seemed to show kindness and some how a kind of sympathy

That have maybe believed was for her . She judged his height and he was tall enough according to her . He was just like the guy she had dreamed of marrying . When he noticed she was staring at him he looked into her eyes and smiled at her . She almost melted at his smile . She herd a low growl and came back to her senses . She noticed that Victor was staring at her and she suddenly freaked and looked down again . 

Victor :" Are my rules understood" 

Tina haven't heard anything since she was preoccupied staring at Sameer , who was at that time Victor's beta .

But since she couldn't say no she just nodded her head . 

Tina :" Are they necessary to be followed " 

Victor stared at her and said :" did you forget the rule of not to talk unless talked to " 

Tina  treambled and stuttered a sorry . 

Sameer :" Calm down brother you are scaring her " Sameer said putting his hand on Victor's shoulder 

Victor glared at him and said 

Victor :" Do t advice an why to do and just because we are related don't think you can call me brother . So since you don't scare her why don't you bring her home  in the car . " He lowered his voice and said " dont even think of messing with her understood" 

Sameer :" Understood alpha " 

Victor got up and walked away and sat in a car and drive away . Sameer got up and shaking his head at his brothers egoistic behaviour and bowed his head to Tina's parents and said " sorry about him he is a little hot head " 

Heoved towards Tina and bent to pick up her luggage and at the same time she bent to and their hands touched and Sameer suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine. He stared at Tina and knew she felt a shiver to . He couldn't believe that his mate was a human . Very few humans knew about  werewolves and very few werewolves would actually mate with humans . And they were were rare like one in a million that would happen . But he quickly motioned to her that he would get her luggage and she dint have to do it and he motioned her to a black car she moved forward and he followed her with her luggage carting it without any effort . His black jacket looked perfect on him and Tina stare at him in the cars reflection .

He reached the cars boot and opeaned it he fit all her luggage in perfection and then went to car and opened the back door for her . She sat in and he sat in the drivers seat and drove the car away . 

Tina looked back at her parents and a tear escaped her eyes and as they became smaller she turned in front and dint stop crying. After an hour or so Sameer finally spoke up 

Sameer :" There is a packet of tissues near you ,you can use them " 

Tina :"Thx , but I'm good " 

Sameer :" Look I know it's not easy to leave your parents and come to a new place but you'll get ok soon enough " 

Tina :" well your brother doesn't seem to like you then why did he choose you as his beta " 

Sameer smiled and answered :" He didn't,our dad did he felt that it would be better if I was the beta and plus Victor didn't have friends so I took up to what our father wanted and plus no one likes him so that's why we had to agree to the pact your father made and agreed to take you into the pack " 

Tina :" well I hope that you are better a d that you will help me get through this " 

Sameer :" well my advice would be to run but that again will only be possible if you do f love your family right so now that us not possible" 

Tina :" plz help me I didn't consent to this " 

Sameer :" Ok fine listen first  you have to follow the rules he set . Which I knew you weren't listening because you were staring at me " 

When Tina herd this she turned red with emarssment .

Sameer continued " the rules are 1. You not not speak until spoken to 2.you have to show respect to all those above you 3. You will not interact or show affection to any other male in the pack. Follow these and you will live ok " 

Tina :" That's against everything I have as rights " 

Sameer :" Sorry Luna but we are under dictatorship not democracy . Alphas rules are rules . But I'll talk with you no probs. But for today all the best it's your first night so you might want to make sure that you are ready for it . As we are here " 

Tina looked and saw him press a ball kind of thing and pushed down the button and a portal opeaned and the car went right through it and hence they reached a grand castle which looked like it belonged to one of the old Kings and hence it looked beautiful and ancient 

Sameer looked at her and opeaned the door for her and he helped her out and said " welcome to the blue moon pack " 

As time stared around d in awe she saw a small girl run towards her and hugged her and Sameer sat on his knees and explained to her who she was . Victor came out followed by his sister as he saw the girl next to Tina he glared at his sister and said to her " control your daughter if you know what's good for her " 

Sameer quickly picked up the little girl and went towards his sister and handed over her daughter to her . Piya his sister analysed Tina and said 

Piya :" Are you sure she will live and stay alive I really sympathise  her " 

Sameer :" So do I but I figured somethingout " 

Piya :" And what is that " 

Sameer :" Well...... She is actually ..uhh.. my mate" 

Piya :" WHAT ! are you sure " 

Sameer :" Really that's what you wanted to ask me " 

Piya :" well in that case you plz don't tell your brother orelse he will tear you to shreads " 

Sameer :" Thanks that me feel a lot better " he said sarcastically And went inside with piya behind him he gave a couple of wolves to get Tina's luggage out of the car .

Victor went towards Tina and motioned her to follow him and he took her upstairs and said "this is your room and you will stay until I call you you can go down for food and nothing more and if you wish to go out then you will be accompanied by one the members of the pack and will not ask me for stupid things clear .

Tina :" why can't I go by myself "

Victor stopped when he hers this . He held her neck and pinned her against the wall and said " so that you can run no way that's going to happen. U will stay here and nowhere else . Got it " .with that he asked her and almost chocked her .

Tina a nodded and he let her go and stormed out of the door  . She wasn't sure if she wanted to be pregnant with a child for this guy . And she knew she was up for a long night .

The next day she took Sameer help to go down and get something to eat. Victor whose real name was actually Vikram had literally killed her yesterday night .

Sameer made sure she reached down and eat something. Most of the members of the pack was usually nice to her and helped her around the house and she always took Sameer with her when ever she went out for anything . She had actually developed a good friendship with Sameer and always felt a connection with him .

Soon Tina started taking pills she was in no mood to give a child to Victor as that will become a new monster .

Sameer Well next day asked her 

Sameer :" why are you trying not to give birth to a child to Victor " 

Tina :" Because I don't want to Handel another monster ....  Wait a minute how do you know that " 

Sameer :" I saw a few pills on the dinning table " 

Tina :" your not going to tell are you "

Sameer :" I don't intend to be the cause of your death " 

Tina :" good cause if you tell and I die I will haunt you for the rest of eternity" 

They both laughed at this as they reached home . Tina was sent right back to her room and  Sameer went down to check on some stuff .

Tina once I her room sat on her bed and started thinkingabout Sameer . She dint know it can happen but with time she had started to fall in  Love with Sameer . Unknowingly she had fallen for him she wanted him and not Victor but most importantly he respected and cared for her which Victor never did . He just hit her whenever he was mad at her and treated her like a maid . Sameer was always there to make sure she healed and defended her most of the time 

As she was daydreaming Piya came in and said 

Piya :" Do you want some ice cream" 

Tina looked up and saw Piya and smiled and she nodded . She had really liked Piya and her daughter. Piya was kind and always managed to make sure Tina had enough food .

Tina :" thanks piya " 

Piya :" it's ok no need to thank me " 

Tina : " Piya do you wolves get a weird felling down your spine usually " 

Piya frose when she herd this and she looked at Tina in a frightened expression and asked 

Piya :" whom did you feel it with "

Tina :" Sameer . Why are you looking at me so frightened" 

Piya :" Tina listen you feel that when. You find your mate when a mate touches you that's the feeling you get . But don't tell this to Victor he will kill both you and Sameer " 

Tina was petrified but nodded it she gave the empty cup to Piya and Piya walked out . Tina lay back in her bed she was happy and scared at the same time. She was happy that she was destined to be with Sameer but scared about Victor she had to tell Sameer but he probably aldready knew so it dint matter . She pulled he legs up and fell I to a troubled sleep .

She woke up at night and asked to go out and Sameer as usual went with her .

Tina :" Can you transform " 

Sameer :" yes I can " 

Tina :" I want to go for a ride to the fountain" 

Sameer :" well I want to show you some other place " 

Tina :" can I ride on you ?" 

Sameer :" sure " 

Sameer transformed into a huge wolf and Tina sat on him . She held on to the wolf's neck and he began running. They reached a beautiful lake and Sameer came to a halting stop near the lake and put Tina down and transformed back to his natural form and staredat the lake and said :" this is the place I come whenever I am happy or upset and I brought you here to wish you happy birthday" 

Tina :" how did you know " 

Sameer :" We have FB and stuff " 

Tina looked at the sky and as Sameer sat down she felt drawn towards him she sat next to him and stared at the lake .

Tina slowly moved towards Sameer and pulled him closer till their lips met . She kissed him passionately and when they stopped and Tina moved in for another Sameer stopped her 

Sameer :" You are violating rule number 3 " 

Tina :" I don't care I just want to be with you " 

Sameer :" I can't let you die because of me "

Tina :" I know I will soon so I don't want to regret anything that I could have done with my time here . Plz Sameer just let me live to the fullest . " 

Sameer gave up and took of his jacket and pulled Tina into his lap and they kissed Sameer then went on kissing her entire face he moved on to her forehead then he kissed both her eyes and moved on to her cheek and he slowly kissed his way down to her neck until he found her mark and kissed her there and let his lips linger there  and they went to the state of intimacy and two of them were so into each other they don't care about a thing in The world .until Sameer spoke up 

Sameer :" are you sure about this " 

Tina :" rather than give that Victor a child I will be more happy to have your child "

Sameer nodded and then Tina tilted her neck giving him access to her mark spot Sameer went as to kiss her neck and instead bit her with his front two teeth  ,Tina winced with pain as it hurt until Sameer stopped leaving his teeth mark on her which were like two dots on her neck. he looked into her eyes and smiled and said  

Sameer :" fine then now you are marked you are my mate and will always be mine " 

Tine :" I'm forever yours " 

The two of them hugged each other.

The memory ended and Abhay opeaned his eyes . 

Abhay :" then what " 

Sameer had a Faraway look in his eye and he replied " I don't think that it would be a problem but a year after our night at the lake Tina got pregnant with you two . Victor didn't notice that you two were not his . Tina said that she stoppedtakinv pills after that night as she dint want to kill the kids that she had with me . When the two of you were born we realised that the two of you were special so I had to send you to the human world . Victor always thought that he had only one child and was upset that she was a girl he wanted a male child to be the alpha and not a female ." 

Abhay :" Then how did he figure out " 

Sameer :" Victor saw that Annanya represented me a lot her character and her structure but he finally saw that she had my eyes and not the jet black ones he or Tina had and I'm pretty sure he did a DNA test and figured it out . It was when Annanya was 10 that she had to run because Victor figured out that she was an Omega to the Merlin and he decided to kill both her and Tina . So I held him off with enough time for both to escape but I guess it wasn't good enough for Tina . Victor drove a sword through me and I lost consciousness and when I opened my eyes I was in the lone wolves pack they said that they found me near the waterfalls . I wish I knew Tina was alive I could have saved her . It's my fault that she's dead " 

Abhay :" it's not your fault dad mom died for a reason and I'm happy we could live up for it " 

Sameer :" I'm proud of both of you " 

Abhay :" but how did you become the alpha of the line wolves " 

Sameer :" Oh , that was because the alpha dint have a son and he adopted me and said I had the makings of an alpha and so I became the next alpha " 

Annanya walked in and saw the two of them there and dint actually see that Abhay wasn't dressed . 

As she walked in on them Abhay shreaked and pulled his pants and shirt in in a flash .

Abhay :" Can't you at least give a little warning before jumping in like that ." 

Annanya :" well then next time be dressed all the time it's not I like I didn't give you time " 

Sameer :" Ok I'm not going to be the father who is going to break up this fight . What's the emmergency " 

Annanya :" Abhay has to rest we leave tomorrow at dawn . Don't be late "

Annanya sure knew how to be a buzz kill when there was a reason to be killer Abhay dint want to be her next victim so he shook his head and left for bed to the castle . He was really tired due to which he dint actually notice that Annanya looked at her father and their minds connected 

Anna ya :" Dad don't give me that look " 

Sameer :" you dint even tell Abhay " 

Annanya :" I'm pretty sure he will have the exact same reaction as Abhimanyu and won't let me come I'll tell him when time is right " 

Sameer :" well I know you do something for a reason so I'll let you decide " 

Sameer stoppedthe connection and returned to stare at the lake . This was the place where he and Tina actually fell in love with each other this was where his kids were actually made . He closed his eyes and remembered Tina and her every special thing that made him happy about her . He drifted to a peaceful sleep until Jake woke him up . Sameer walked back to the place thinking about how much he wished that his family was a little different and they could be happy . 

Abhay was laying down with his eyes open and wondering as to when he would know the path to the jewel . As he lay there he heard a knock on the door and said " come in " . Annanya came in with two glasses of wine and said 

Annanya :" thought this could help you sleep " 

Abhay :" how did you know that I couldn't sleep " 

Annanya handed him one of the glasses and pulled up a chair at the desk to face Abhay who was sitting up straight in his room .

This room was no different than Annanyas but the bed faced the balcony. 

Annanya:" Because I know ow you have a few questions about mom " 

Abhay :" can you answer them " 

Annanya :" that's another reason I'm here " 

Abhay :" well what happened to our aunt Piya right " 

Annanya :" yep , well she died trying to save mom and her daughter ran away and I met our cousin 10 years back when she gave Nicholas to me " 

Abhay : " so Nick is our nephew " 

Annanya :" yeah , dint you feel a connection towards him " 

Abhay :" I thought that was because he always used to chase me around" 

Annanya laughed as it was a fact that Nick loved to chase Abhay around as he could t transform at the time .

Abhay :" so did you always know who was your dad " 

Annanya : " yep I did he was the best always " 

Abhay :" I guess that answers all my questions except who is Nick's dad " 

Annanya :" I don't know at lest his mother dint tell me  " 

Abhay : " well I hope I know the path " 

Annanya put the chair back picked up her glassand while walking out said " you are the Merlin you will get it " 

Abhay quickly piped up " is it true that omegas are baby sitters for kids " 

Annanya :" they are baby sitters " 

Abhay :" well why are you called the Omega "

Annanya :" Well , I'm your babysitter " she winked and left . Abhay smiled finished his glass and went to a deep sleep . 

Abhay kept walking through the forest with Annanya leading g him and he saw a stone carved like a wolf ,a bat and a vicious looking beast between them . The beast had long fangs and a long snout and also a mane . Beyondthe statue were a clump of trees . Abhay went towards the statue and realised it was a kind of puzzle he pushed the bat on top and then the wolf to the side and the vicious beast below them both and with that   the trees that were standing slowly faded away as a thick fog was revealed  .

Abhay woke up with a sudden shock . 

Abhay :" I k ow the way to the fog " when he realized he knew that he rushed to Annanyas room full of exictment and bust i to their room waking up both Annanya and Abhimanyu who we're sleeping

Abhay shook Annanya and said :" I know the way let's go " 

Annanya groned and sat and said " I meant we leave at 4. I'll be up by 3then we can discusswhat you saw now let me sleep " 

Abhay :" ohh , sry got excited" 

Abhimanyu:" chill bro it's cool inspite of all that you didn't t wake up Nick. " he said pointing to a guy between them . Then he looked at Abhay and said " He dosen't even give me and Annanya a minute of privacy  I cant even hug her at night he sleeps right in between us".   

Nick was sound asleep and all the rukus dint seem to disturb him  at all .

Annanya :" now the two of you let me sleep " 

Abhimanyu:" sure , anyways I'm going down as Nick kicks to much in his sleep . It feels as if he knows i am here and wants to keep me away from you  " 

Annanya made a sound indicating that she too tired to answer him at the moment and Abhimanyu picked his pillow and went down and asked Abhay to leave the two of them alone . Abhay followed Abhimanyu to the living room instaed of going to bed . He had lost his sleep and had to find out about the statue and where to find it .

Abhimanyu:" not going to sleep " 

Abhay :" lost my sleep , but can you tell me where to find books about a statue with a wolf , a bat and a weird looking creature " 

Abhimanyu:" Well I think annyas k ows where the statue is but if you want to know about it go to the store room and press the number 3845and go up another fleet of stairs which will unfoldand check the 4th aile , there everything you need to know about the statue . I think annayas read the whole aile " 

Abhimanyu smiled and settled on the sofa . Abhay thanked him and ran up the stairs towards the library .

Abhay looked at his phone it was still 2so he had time to read until Annanya was up so he finallysat himself down on Annanyas chair in the library and pulled out a bunch of books from the aile and strated reading . He saw that the protectors of the jewel had put up the statue and set up the mist so that greedy people won't get their hands on them and only the true one with a purpose and anyone who would do it for the reason of the people could go through. The statue had a special way of being opeaned and hence could not be done by everyone. 

Abhay ended up reading all the books on the aile by the time it was almost ready to go . He was so ingrossed in the book that he dint notice that his phone was vibrating on the table . He only came to his senses when Annanya came up to the library and said " Are you coming or not ?" 

Abhay :" hey why don't you call ?" 

Annanya:" I did like at least a 15 times " 

Abhay looked at his phone and saw Annanyas missed call .

Abhay:" oh looks like I was ingrossed in the books " 

Annanya came and bent over the chair and looked at  the book he was reading .

Annanya :" The statue of the nymps " 

Abhay :" So that's what it's called " 

Annanya :" yep a statue which was there as old as the start of the species of all the creatures " 

Abhay put down his book and then got up and said " Let's go I know how to reach there " Abhay kinda shone when he said that .

Anna ya :" well you might want to change out of your night clothes"

Abhay looked down and realised he was still in his pajamas and sheepishly said :" Give me 2minutes " and he rushed to his room to change . Annanya closed the ladder of the room and went down thinking" I hope he knows where to go " . She shook her head and headed to the living room . 

 Abhay and Annanya were having backpacks and dressed in a black jacket and a pair of jeans . But Abhays shirt was white and annayas full selevd shit was violet . Along with that they carried their weapons annaya her dual swords and Abhay his sword .  They had come a little far away from the castle. And Abhay told her 

Abhay :" from here you have to guide me to the statue I couldn't finish all the books " 

Annanya :" ok follow me " 

They both transformed into wolves and a white wolf and a light brown wolf stared running through the forest and the fact was anyone watching them would have found it weird that there were wolves wearing backpacks . After a long run Annanya stopped and they both returned to their natural form and Annanya walked a little forward and then stopped and moved aside to reveal the statue in front of her . Abhay realised that the statue was a bit bigger than he presumed 

The statue was a flat and long stone standing horizontally with the 3animals facing the person looking at it . 

Abhay looked at it and did exactly the way he had dreamed of and just like the dream the cluster of trees faded for revealing the fog behind them .

Abhay rushed towards the fog but Annanya pulled him back and held his hand said " we go together only then can we go through" 

Abhay nodded and together they went through the fog and surprising enough the fog parted for them as they went through. The fog was thick but once it parted the siblings found themselves in a clearing with grass . It dint look any creepy at all it was actually beautiful . 

As they walked on Annanya suddenly stopped and signalled Abhay that she heard something. They both pulled out their swords and stood ready in case any need arises . They suddenly felt something move by . They stood back to back and ready to strike. 

From nowhere a huge black wolf came at them Annanya slightly sliced the wolf wounding it not killing. The wolf wimpered and stood up again and got ready to attack . Many other wolves joined the other one and stood against them and they came pouncing at them . 

Annanya warned Abhay " don't kill try only to wound them they are just protectors" 

Abhay :" aren't they the Taltas ?" 

Annanya :" I don't think so they look like wolves " 

Abhay and Annanya made the swords disappear and transformed into wolves theywent against the other wolves wounding them enough to make sure they don't come back . 

Annanya in the middle felt a little dizzy and suddenly her eyes blurred she turned back to her normal form and fainted . Abhay lost his concentration and pushed off a wolf and turned to his normal form and ran to her . He ran and sat near her . That was just before he felt someone hit him from the back and his vision blurred and he fell drowning in the darkness. 

Abhay saw a large and wonderful place he saw 8 jewels in front of him and then he saw a few similar looking  plants that was glowing and he moved towards it and looked at one of them . He suddenly woke up and looked aroundand saw that he was in a tent and he got up and sat up straight and looked around there were a lot of people who were injured

He suddenly remembered Annanya. He frantically looked around for her and on e of the healers came towards him and said " oh your awake " 

Abhay sat up finally with her help .

She introduced herself and Manisha 

Abhay :" where is my sister is she around here " 

Manisha :" oh you mean the pregnant one " 

Abhay :" what "

Manisha :" the one who looks like you " 

Abhay :" yeah her " 

Manisha :" yeah she is fine she fainted because of being pregnant and also being stressedand tired of the fight " 

Abhay :" she's pregnant ,is she ok " 

Manisha :" totally u were the one who got us worried about u have been sleeping for 3days " 

Abhay got of bed and thanked her and started walking Manisha called and asked him to change before leaving . He quickly changed into a light grey and black shirt and black jeans . And stepped outside to look for Annanya . . The place was a camp with a bunch of people fighting and others practicing and there were a bunch of tents around and also a huge place for a bonfire . He looked around for Annanya and since he couldn't find her he went to look for anyone who could help him . He found a bunch of kids and asked them 

Abhay :" hey can you guys tell me if you have seen a girl who looks like me " 

One of the kids replied " sure , she is with the alpha come on I'll show you " 

The little guy held Abhays hand and took him to a huge rock chatting all the way with him . 

He showed him where Annanya was and ran away with a bye to Abhay .

Annanya was sitting at he bottom of the rock and talking with a medium height man with a French beard and curly hair and having a serious discussion. Annanya was dressed in a black palooza and a off shoulder top which came up to her waist and was white . The man on the other hand was wearing a long rope which was white and I side a red slightly long shirt with black pants .

As they saw Abhay they both stood up . The man said 

" Hello I'm glad to see that you are fine . I'm Ayush and sorry about that hit on your head " he said apologitically .

Abhay :" it's ok but we're am I " 

Ayush :" your in the blue moon pack and we are the ones you know as Talta " 

Abhay looked at him up and down he was not a scary beast he looked normal and plus he got them back here and helped them recover . Sensing that Abhay was confused he explained Ed 

Ayush :" well we are not as mean and bad as you believe and no we are not vicious we are just normal woves who have fangs of vampires and not dangerous. I know we hit you but I didn't know that you were the Merlin and Omega . We had herd that you had come just dint know that you were the ones . Realised only after I saw her necklace" 

Abhay :" so you guys are not mean as we believe you to be " 

Ayush :" nope " 

Abhay :" thanks Ayush for helping us " 

Ayush :" your welcome but I think you both have to talk about something important" 

Abhay and Annanya bowed to him and he returned with a bow and left them alone 

Abhay yelled out everything at Annanya 

Abhay :" you are pregnant and don't tell me . The talkas are not vicious and I had a pretty scary dream and then I wake and find that I have been asleep for almost 3days " .

Annaya :" easy bro . Yes I am pregnant and didn't tell you or else you would not have let me come . And I guess all we know about these guys is not true and maybe your dream has a connection with the jewel and yes you were asleep for 3days but you took time to heal " 

Abhay :" well does Abhi know ?" 

Annanya:" he does now as I just connected with him and we have a bigger problem " Abhay :" what kind of problem " 

Anna ya :" vampires have waged a war on all were wolves and tomorrow by noon they attack . Turns out they believe that we steal females from them and give birth to talkas who they presume are vicious too . " 

Abhay :" I'm just guessing that this whole thing is just a misunderstanding " 

Annanya :" it is but Abhi won't believe it and neither will the vampires we need to take this pack to show that " 

Abhay :" well if that's the case then why have our women gone missing?" 

Annanya :" I spoke with the alpha and turns out that sometimes werewolves mate with vampires and hence they run away to get married as vampires and werewolves are feuding since ancient times . But sometimes vampires meet werewolves and they mate but since it is not accepted they elope . I guess after that we presumed that they stole our people and they presume we stole theirs . This pack shelters all such mixes and guess what Nick is living proof of this " 

Abhay :" our nephew Nick " 

Annanya :" yes come I need you to meet it our cousin " 

Annaya dragged him to a place and pointed out to a women I about her thirties and she was fair and had blonde hair and her eyes were blue she was fair and really beautiful. She saw them both and walked up to them and hugged both if them and her eyes teared up looking at them .

Annanya :" Abhay meet our cousin Sister" 

Sir :" my Abay you really are grown and you have the same eyes uncle has " 

Abhay :" hey Sia I'm so happy to see you and so sorry about aunt Piya" 

Sia looked down and said :" well she died for you and you both lived up to that " 

Sia continued :" well I'm just happy Nick is ok and doing good I knew he would be proof of the fact that vampires and werewolves can live together. That's why I had to give him up even when I loved him ."

Annanya :" well for a fact Sia is the Luna of this pack and Nick will be the next alpha " 

Abhay :" we need to tell Abhimanyu" 

Anna ya :" yes we do but I'm not able to connect anymore I dont k ow what it is " 

Sia :" must be because you are in a different pack the connection is usually blurred out and eventually cut off until you leave " 

Abhay :" well we still need to get to the forest and get the jewel and get back before the war starts " 

Sia asked them to follow her and Ayush . They took them to a huge cave entrance which had been covered by a bunch of vines. 

Sia :" go in the nymphs live here , but chose wisely you are allowed to take only on thing from there " 

Abhay and Annanya looked at each other and took a deep breath and went through the vines . A little further and they reached a green and beautiful place with a waterfall . As they approched the place 3 goergeous women appeared and bowed to them . They bowed back .

The 3 nymphs replied in one voice " welcome to the enchanted forest you must be worthy if the protectorshave shown You this place . 

You make take what you want but can take only one . So choose wisely for your choice decides if you have lost or won " 

Annanya looked around and saw 8 jewels floting around . She pointedto them and asked Abhay :" which one " 

Abhay thought hard and finally it struck him and he turned to Annanya :" it's none of them " 

Annanya :" what " 

Abhay :" the resurecting jewel is not a gem it is a plant " 

Annanya :" are you sure ?" 

Abhay :" yes , I'm sure I saw in my dream the jewel is a plant which shines it is that one " 

Abhay pointed to the plant he had seen a d quickly went towards it and told the nymphs " we chose the plant we intend to use this " 

Annanya :" we want the plant and nothing else " 

 The nymphs smiled and lifted the plant and gave it to them and said " you have chosen wisely , that's why you are worthy . You dint come for greed or wordly desire . You came to help others may your goal be achieved " 

The nymphs disappeared Abhay and Annanyarushed out side with the plant with them .

Sia and Ayush who were waiting for them were overjoyed and said "let's get you home " 

Annanya :" we need and your entire pack to come with us please " 

Ayush nodded and they all rushed back to the pack . They had reach there by tomorrow noon. 

Abhimanyu looked at the mirror in his suit and his weapons ready . He wasn't sure to be happy or upset . He was happy actually overjoyed that he was going to be a father but also worried that he would have to fight the vampires and may not make it back alive . But he reassured himself that at least the pack had a alpha to look forward to . He got ready hocked his sword and went out to see his warriors and he got up on the rock pulled out his sword and yelled " to victory or death " 

And his pack yelled with him . 

Abhimanyu and his pack ran till the battlefield and they stopped when they saw that from the other side a bunch of people had aldready come and they all had fangs and bloodshot eyes . The guy in the middle was there looking at them with an angry look . As the two sides got ready to charge a voice shouted out to them " STOP " 

All eyes faced the side the voice came from . And they all looked at person shouting . Annanya came from the side riding on Abhay . She was too tired to run by herself and hence Abhay carried her .

He came to a stop and she got off and Abhay transformed back to his human form 

Annanya :" you don't have to fight this is just a misunderstanding" 

Abhimanyu:" what are you talking about" 

Annanya :" vampires and we're woves need not fight " 

Abhay :" we don't steal the females or males of either side . Your non acceptance caused that and talkas are not vicious. Look. " 

Abhay motioned behind them and the entire Talta pack came forth and everyonewere shocked they looked nothing like they had imagined they looked completely normal .

Annanya :" they don't kill anyone they are just protectors of the enchanted Forest and kill only to protect the forest"

The vampire leader spoke up " then why would our people go missing" 

Abhay :" they don't , they just elope because they mate with the other kind and you won't accept them " 

Vampire :" and you expect us to believe you " 

Annanya :" believe your own sister " 

The guy froze as Annanya called a girl who was short and had curly brown hair and pale skin who looked at the him . His eyes teared up by looking at her .

She started tearing up and said " it's true I mated with a werewolf and I know you wouldn't accept it and so I eloped . I'm so sorry" 

The vampire came towards her and hugged her and said " I would accept anything you want . Why didn't you believe me . I thought that they took you so I waged this war . I just thought I'd never see u again " 

The guy wiped his tears and said :" I believe you Omega but you have no proof of their children not being vicious" 

Anna ya :" I do " 

She looked behind her and Nick came out . They had asked him to come to a point and picked him from there . 

Abhay :" Nick is a Talta and he is not vicious if you don't believe me look at his fangs " 

Abhimanyu also came to look at Nick and he had fangs .

Naina suddenly asked " does he Abhi " 

Abhimanyu without looking answered :" he does Naina " 

Naina came towards Nick and looked at his fangs . The vampire confirmed the fa t that it was fangs .

Naina a :" but Nick is a werewolf and he is not in any way vicious"

Annanya :" no he is not " 

The vampire stepped back and said " I'm sorry alphas I got scared when my sister went missing and hence waged this " 

Abhimanyu:"we are sorry too we shouldn't have just believed anything" 

Vampire:" I like to propose a friendship between our ki day " 

Abhimanyu tuned towards the packs and asked " does anyone object " 

As no one said or posed any objection Abhimanyu shook hand with the vamipre.

Abhimanyu:" but . You guys have to promise you won't kill us ..uhhh..." 

Vampire:" it's Kishore and we don't suck blood we kill animals . Sorry about Demitra we don't have a way to fix it " 

Abhay :" we do " 

He gave the plant to Abhimanyu who looked at it with a confused expression until Abhay explained it . The leaves of the plant was made it juice and put in a bowl . Annanya gave the bowl to Nick and said 

Annanya :" go on bud " 

Nick:" really I get to do it " 

Annanya:" well you saved us all I guess u are the right person to do it " 

Nick took the owl and went to the tree and said " get well soon Demitra and he poured the juice to the tree" 

Demitras trunk healed and she flourished activating the sheilds of all the packs and the vampires 

Abhimanyu looked at Kishore and said" you can come visit us if you need anything." 

Nick ran to his parents andasked Abhimanyu :" can I stay with them please " 

Abhimanyu:" it's your choice bud " 

Nick looked at his dad and his father kneeled down and said :" welcome to the blue moon pack champ " 

Nicked hugged his dad and turned to Annanya and said " thx buddy I really miss you" 

Annanya hugged the guy and said :" I'll miss you too buddy . Take care and be a great alpha soon " 

Nick left with his parents and the vampires and werewolves retreated back .

Naina hugged Abhay and went on 

Naina a:" my hero . You did it I knew you could" 

Abhay :" thx Naina and thx for making me believe and for some good news my parents agreed to our marriage" 

Naina :" really " 

Abhay :" yeep " 

Naina :" ohh but I think you need to ask someone else too " 

Abhay :" who is that " 

Naina pointed to Abhimanyu who was looking at him with a strange expression . 

Abhay got up and went near Abhimanyuand Annanya who was next to Abhimanyumoved away fro. Him and muttered a 'good luck ' to Abhay 

Abhay stood in front of Abhimanyu and said 

Abhay :" alpha it would be my honor if you were to give your blessings to marry your sister " 

Abhimanyu looked without a change and finally said 

Abhimanyu :" No " 

Abhay :" thank you... Wait what "

Abhimanyu:". You heard me no " 

Abhay :" I just saved the species of werewolves and your saying no " 

Abhimanyu:" the species is one thing my sister is another" 

Abhay :" why not " 

Abhimanyu :" walk with me " 

The boys went out and Naina sat next to Annanya.

Naina :" looks like Abhay is in for a tough time" 

Anna ya :" he sure is " 

Naina :" how is he or she " 

Annanya :" they . There are two of them " 

Naina :" wow " 

Anna ya :" and they can't trouble yet " 

Naina :" well I want to be sure I have a Luna and a alpha " 

Annanya :" let's hope" 

1YEAR LATER 

Abhay was feeling safocated and walking up and down with Annanya sitting on a chair and their father on the sofa holding her adorable twins a boy and a girl . Abhay foster parents everyone looking at him . 

Until finally Sameer finally said " stop your freaking us out " 

His father replied" all of us " 

Abhay :" am I doing the right thing I don't know " 

Annanya :" can you guys give us some time alone "

All of them walked out . It was Abhay and Naina s wedding and he was having jitters . It took a lot of convincing but Abhimanyu finally agreed . 

Annanya :" Abhay look in the mirror " 

Abhay stared in the mirror he was dressed in a suit .

Annanya :" and ask yourself that question" 

Abhay :" he says yes " 

Annanya:" then believe yourself and know I'll be there for you " 

Abhay :" thanks Annanya for everything I'm really going to miss you " 

Annanya :" hey we will be in touch " 

Abhay :" do you think half year here and half year in the human world is ok " 

Annanya :" of course " 

Abhay :" well I hope taking over dad's pack is not going to be tough " 

Abhay :" I know you will figure it out . Cause you are my brother and I believe you have become the man you are mentioned to be ." 

Abhay :" guess I'm ready " 

Abhay hugged his sister who was in a light pink gown . She sighed and looked at him in pride .

Abhimanyu walked into Nainas room and stood stuck to the door her friends left and he gazed at her . 

Naina :" do I look ok " 

Abhimanyu:" you look beautiful" 

Naina :" do you think I'm ready " 

Abhimanyu:" yes , you have become the women mom and dad said you would be and they would be damn proud of you right now" 

He kissed Nainas forehead and hugged her and he asked " ready " she nodded in response 

Naina entered the alter with Abhimanyu escoting her . In front of her Kiran carried Annanyas daughter as the flower girl and as she reached the altar and Abhimanyutook her and carried his daughter and stood beside Annanya who was aldready carrying their son and as the rituals were performed a tear escaped his eye and he breathed heavy as they both were married .

Abhimanyu:" I never knew it would be this hard " 

Annanya :" imagine how hard it will be to let your daughter go " 

Abhimanyu looked as his little daughter and said :" oh boy !" 

The marriage was attended by all vampires,werewolves ,the Taltas and humans .

After the marriage during the reception Abhay stood out side near the balcony staring at the stars annaya joined him 

Anna ya :" what you thinking" 

Abhay :" wish mom was here she would be proud " 

Anna ya :" me too " 

Abhay :" well I'll Handel dad's pack in the holidays and I will go back to the college during the school times and I hope mom and dad can live with me and Naina half a year and come with me for the rest of the year " 

Anna ya :" well dad said it's ok and looks like your parents like this place " 

Abhay :" do you think mom is with us " 

Sameer :" she is "

They turned around to see their father . He came and put his hands around them on each side 

Sameer :" she is always with us . Look at the star next to the moon and remembershe is always watching us "

The siblings rested their head on their fathers shoulders and looked up at he sky and the star close to the moon and some how blinked as though Tina  was saying she agreed.

THE END OF STRANGE LAND
