Snapshots of Love

Ishq Bulava [3/5]

As the days went by, Ishan couldn't help but notice Shubman's gestures.

The way he brought him his favorite tea, the way he listened to him talk about his day, the way he made him laugh. It was all so endearing.

Ishan's wolf, sensing his emotions, whispered in his mind. "You're falling for him, aren't you?"

Ishan tried to brush it off, fearing rejection. "No, no, no. I'm just being friendly."

But his wolf knew better. "Don't deny it, Ishan. You feel the spark. It's okay to admit it."

Ishan sighed, trying to ignore the flutter in his chest. But it was no use. He couldn't help but feel drawn to Shubman's charming smile, his kind eyes, his gentle touch.

One day, as they were walking out of the pup center, Shubman accidentally brushed his hand against Ishan's.

The touch sent shivers down Ishan's spine, and he quickly pulled his hand away, trying to play it cool.

Shubman's wolf, sensing the tension, growled softly in his mind. "What's wrong? Why did he pull away?"

Shubman's human side knew better. "He's just nervous, boy. Give him space."

But Ishan's wolf was persistent. "No, no, no. He feels it too. I can sense it."

Ishan tried to shake off the feeling, but it only grew stronger. He started to notice the way Shubman's cheeks popped into dimples when he smiled, the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck.

As they sat together at the next pack gathering, Ishan found himself stealing glances at Shubman, his heart racing with excitement.

Shubman's wolf, sensing Ishan's gaze, turned to him with a knowing look. "He's looking at us, boy. He's interested."

Shubman's human side smiled, trying to play it cool. "Maybe, just maybe, he's starting to feel the same way."

Ishan's wolf, sensing his emotions, whispered in his mind. "It's okay, Ishan. We can take a chance. We might just find our mate."

Ishan's heart skipped a beat at the thought. Could it be true? Was Shubman his mate?

He tried to push the thought away, fearing rejection. But it lingered, a spark of hope in his chest.

As the night wore on, Ishan found himself drawn to Shubman again and again, their eyes meeting in a flash of understanding.

Maybe, just maybe, they were meant to be.

Right now the pack was preparing for a fight. The rival pack was crossing their limit and Shubman has to teach them what happen when they mess with him.

Before Shubman left for the rival pack's den, he sought out Ishan to bid him farewell.

"Ishan, I'll be back soon." Shubman said, his voice low and serious. "Please take care of yourself."

Ishan's wolf growled in his mind, sensing danger. But he knew he couldn't stop Shubman. He nodded, trying to appear calm.

"Be careful, Shubman. Please."

Shubman's eyes locked onto Ishan's, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. Then, Shubman smiled, his dimples popping out of the cheeks.

"I will, Ishan. Don't worry."

As Shubman turned to leave, Ishan felt a pang of worry. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.

Meanwhile, Shubman and his subordinates arrived at the rival pack's den, ready for battle. The air was tense with anticipation as they faced off against their enemies.
