Can't Let Go

g on their mates. Now she was going to turn twenty in a few months and was still mate-less. Meanwhile Alpha of their pack, Shikhar, had imprinted on her younger sister. That too on the very day of her presentation birthday party at the age of sixteen, making her family immensely proud as mating into power realms was considered very prestigious. Power, which was the most coveted possession in their mystical world. Aria could only dream of such luck. But a content soul, she was actually genuinely ready to happily settle for just a warm and compassionate mate. Still with each passing day her hope of finding her fate chosen mate was dwindling and she could do nothing but cringe at her disappointing destiny. Not creating that missing other half of your soul was the cruelest fates can be with someone. But she had to make peace with her fates. Maybe she was destined for an arranged match, she had started thinking.

However, suddenly fates turned and she got imprinted-on by her fate chosen mate soon after. And HE was not just any werewolf. Proud, ruthless, possessive and unapologetic, Danish was a handsome werewolf of regal bloodline and the Alpha of the most powerful warrior pack in the world, Midnight Warriors. The only problem, he kind of had attacked Aria's pack, his fighters killed a few of her pack members in the process, he himself half-killed her brother-in-law Alpha Shikhar before taking over their territory by force and publicly assaulted her father as well. Not exactly the kind of man Aria had dreamt of for herself. Her family disliked him too. Heck, even her pack looked at her differently now. So much for wanting a fate-mate! Torn between her inner-wolf's inexplicably strong mating pull and her loyalty towards her family and pack-members, she decided to reject him.

But to stubborn Danish, Aria was rightfully his now. His mate. Letting go of her did not feature anywhere in his plans. The sooner she understands that, the better!
