The room felt suffocatingly quiet. Rain tapped against the windows in uneven rhythms, and every drop seemed louder than it should have been.
Then Chhaya's voice broke the silence.
"I told you!" she shouted, her voice shaking as tears streamed down her face. "I told all of you not to go near that stupid ship!"
Anurag stood in front of her, completely still. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out at first.
"Chhaya... Hum sabko kya pata tha ke kuch aisa ho jayeng-"
"Exactly!" she cut him off. "You didn't know because none of you wanted to listen! I told you that mujhe woh jagah kuch thik nahi lag rahi thi. Mai baar baar keh rahi thi tum logo ko...But, everyone just laughed like it was some horror movie adventure."
Her voice cracked halfway through the sentence.
"Now Varya, Ishaan and Dheeraj are just... missing."
The word gone hung in the air, heavy and awful.
Ahalya stared at the floor, twisting her fingers together so tightly her knuckles had turned pale. Vansh leaned against the wall, his arms crossed.
Ahvi finally stepped forward.
"Chhaya, we didn't do it intentionally. Stop blaming him," she said gently, though her voice sounded tired. "Hum sab mein se kisi ne nahi socha tha ke kuch aisa ho jayenga..."
"I'm not blaming him, I'm blaming all of us. Because we all ignored the one thing that could have stopped this."
Ahalya's head snapped up. She hesitated before speaking, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Do you guys feel it too?.."
Everyone looked at her.
"Feel what?" ahvi asked.
Ahalya swallowed nervously.
"Like...something followed us back."
The rain outside suddenly grew louder, hitting the windows in sharp bursts.
No one laughed.
No one even tried to say that she was being paranoid.
Because deep down, every single one of them felt it too...that heavy feeling in their chest.

Chained To The Wolf Prince
In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting from the Spring Union Parade, said to promise love and a better future. Zaria has stopped believing in fairytales, but she still searches for the petal every year. Because hope is hard to kill. Beyond the crumbling streets of Dawnridge, tension between humans and wolf-shifters grows more dangerous by the day. Villages refuse to unite, old hatred festers, and the borders weaken against the horrors lurking beyond them, from flesh-ripping rotfangs to child-stealing skullcrows and rebels eager to watch the kingdoms burn. When Crown Prince Cassius arrives in his bedridden father's place to restore order, he expects resistance. What he does not expect is her. Cold, ruthless, and fiercely loyal to his kingdom, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated, though he honours the fragile alliance for the sake of his father's wishes. Then one encounter with a fiery, stubborn human girl changes everything. After fate chains Zaria and Cassius together in ways neither of them expected, they are drawn into a dangerous world of political unrest, buried secrets, deadly creatures, and a bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about loyalty, hatred, and themselves. Because some chains are stronger than iron. And some fates refuse to be broken.Complete

The day I finally learned I was carrying the baby I had waited years for, I saw my husband with another family. Alistair Ravenscroft is one of the wealthiest and most dangerous Alphas in England. He rules the northern pack from an ancient castle, can bring hundreds of wolves to their knees with a single command, and for eight years, he called me his one true mate. But he already has a child. A little girl with Lydia-my younger half sister, the daughter born from my father's affair. I had spent my entire life trying not to blame her for the betrayal that destroyed my mother's marriage. All the while, I was terrified of repeating my mother's fate. I never imagined my own husband would make me live through almost the exact same thing. I run from the pack, knowing Alphas do not let their true mates go. My only chance is the protection of Gideon Ashcombe, Alistair's longtime rival. But my husband finds me anyway.

Only to encounter a terrifying and surprisingly gorgeous werewolf, who takes her back to his pack, that has remained hidden from humans for centuries. Unable to return home, Evoni faces the reality that her captor is the last Alpha, and he has tasked her with solving a single issue - werewolves failing fertility. The longer she spends in his pack, the stronger her connection to the sexy and forbidden Alpha becomes, and the closer she comes to fulfilling an ancient prophecy that foretells a mate bond between a human and an Alpha that will unite werewolves and humans once and for all.
