No one Pov's . Aana was sitting in the XYZ restaurant waiting for her beta, Ryan. Aana was thinking about her past, the moment she spent with her first love, Vince. "Vince, please leave my hand… Please" Aana muttered trying her best to get out of his grip. They both came on a date after the engagement. where to tease Aana, Vince holds her hand not ready to leave her. "Don't you feel ashamed to trouble a seventeen-year-old girl," Aana whined. "No, because that seventeen-year-old girl is my best friend, first love and now my fiance," He said, making her blush. "You're twenty two this is unfair, leave my hand". "Wow. Now I'm twenty-two… When this age factor is gone, When you picked me up and threw me down on the ground in the training field" he scoffed, shutting Aana's mouth, who is playing an emotional card. "You want me to use my strength?" Aana asked, rolling her eyes. "You hold my hand with your choice Aana," He said, holding her hand with full force. She looked at him frustratingly after trying everything to release her hand from his grip. "What do you want?" She asked. "You" He replied, making her blush like a tomato. "I want the words Aana. I want your confession that you feel the same for me as I feel for you" . "If you know everything then what is need of confession". "I wanted to hear those three magical words from your mouth. "Fine but then you have to leave my hand". "ok promise". "I love" Before Aana could complete she heard the sound of a gunshot. She closed her eyes in fear and hugged him. "I love you, Aana," he whispered in her ear. Aana looked at him with teary eyes and that's when she felt something wet in her hand. He left his whole weight on Aana. Somehow she held him and sat down on the ground, holding him. Aana's eyes went to her hand which was covered in blood. "No. No. No. Vince. nothing will happen to you" Tears were continuously falling from her eyes. "Somebody is there… Please help us… Please" She screamed and looked at his fiancee who almost closed his eyes. "Please open your eyes. please" she screamed and started looking around for help. That's when her eyes landed on the biggest enemy of their pack. * ** ** . Aana was lost in her thoughts when someone kep t his hand on her shoulder making her shiver. S he immediately stood up from her chair in fear. "It's me, Aana. Rya n" He said. Aana hea ved a sigh of relief. "About whom you were thinking a while ago," Alice asked but Aana didn't reply and again sat on the chair. She picks up the glass from the table with a shiver ing hand. Ryan noticed that but didn't say anything and sat in her front chair. "Are you on a diet? Look at you

You turn skinny. " he asked like a big brother. He always treated her like his little sister. Aana did n't reply, not wanting to tell him how her sister-in-law treated her. "Did you eat something?" He asked and then ordered food for both of them wh en no answer came from her mouth. Aana was lost in her thoughts when Ryan k ept his hand over her. she immediately detaches her hand from his, in fear. "I'm so rry" he mumbled. "You should be" Aana hissed and soon she realised how ru de she is behaving with him. "I'm sor ry," She muttered. "You asked me to bring sixty-nine tablets and wolfsbane. " He mumbled and looked at Aana who maintained a poker expression on her face. "Sixty-nine tablets are for controlling heat in the body and she-wolf went o n heat after meeting his mate to mate with him," Ryan said. This time also Aana didn't reply to anything. "Should I conclude from your silence that Alice f ound her mate?" He asked. "My mate was Vince and he died " Aana replied and looked at R yan. "Because of me, he died" . "It was n ot your fa ult Aana. "It was my fault" Aana scrawled and took a deep breath to calm herself. "I didn't ask you to give me a lecture," she said, trying he r best to control her emotions and extend her hand toward hi m. Ryan sighed and gave her the tablets which she asked for. "You will kill your wolf if you take wolfbane more than twi ce. Remember this'' Ryan warned her. Aana closed her eyes , realising the fact. She clutched her hair in frustration. "How could I forget such a big thing?" She mumbled and passed wolfbane to Ryan back. Before he could say something, Aana stood up from her chair and went outside. She went directly to her flat and locked herself in a room. "would you please like to share with me, who is Vince?" Alice as ked frustratingly, as she doesn't know anything about her human, unlike other wolves who know every single secret of their human. "For now, I can say only one thing. Vince was my everyth ing. He is no more but will always remain in my heart and no one can replace him. Even not our mate. " Aana replied. "And I love our mates Aaron and Rex. For me, no one can replace them, not even your Vince. On ly he has a right over me" Alice said. Aana knew that her wolf would fight with her for their mate that's why she asked Ryan to bring wolfbane but to her bad luck, she couldn't take them. "Why didn't you take wolfbane? Believe me, that is the only way you can stop m e from going to our mate. " She yelled. "Alice calm down" . "No, I will not… Kill me because that is the only way you can separate me from him" Alice growled in her mind. Aana blocked her instead of giving her reply, dragging the argument unnecessarily, because she knew that Alice won't listen to her and at the same time, she can't agree with her wolf. After a while, she unblocked Alice and thankfully she was silent this time. Aana lay down on the bed and started thinking about her past. She was so happy and full of life but o ne night destroyed all her happiness. everything gets snatched from her by a person. Tears rolled do wn from Aana's eyes and by seeing and feeling Aana's pain, she realised what her human going through

The whole night, Aana didn't sleep remembering past moments. Coincidentally, Aaron also didn't sleep the whole night thinking about Aana an d Alice. How much these girls are different from each other. One wanted to settle with him and the other wanted to push him away. No matter what the situation is, he decided to make both girls as his. Wanted to fall in love with them insanely. Wanted to love them as no one did. At_ Pre sent . Aana was thinking about Aaron and her past continuous meeting when someone knocke d on her door. She quickly wiped her tears and hopped down from bed, holding her stomach. She went towards the door and found Ivanna standing there, crying badly. "what happened? Why are you crying?" Aana asked and looked at Stefan who was standing a little away from her. "Don't know where Mr. Aaro n has gone. There is no cl ue of him" Stefan replied. "He left la st night," A ana replied. "Last night" He exclaimed. "There was a heavy snowfall in town," Stefan muttered, widening Aana's eyes. Her legs s tumbled upon hearing the news, thankfully Ivanna held her. "Ca---call him" Aana stuttered. "We tried but his phone is engaged. I thought he was w ith you" Ivanna mumbled. "If he is not here, that means he was stuck in the snow. What if something happened" . "no" Aana yelled, interrupting her. "Nothi ng will happen to my Aaron" she screeched and pushed Ivanna a little, away from her. "Nothing will happen to him. He is alright . " Aana muttered and was about to leave in search of him when Stefan held her hand. "Where are you going?" . "I'm going near my mate. He needs me" Aana muttered, detac hing her hand from her brother. "Aana, weath er is not go od outside" . "I don't care how the fucking weather and roads. All I care about is hi m and I will find him" she shivered when the cold air hit her body. She di dn't even realise that she came outside without wearing any warm clothes. Before Stefan could stop her, she went towards the existence of an NGO, not caring about anything. Tears were flowing down from her eye s thinking about his mate who is missing, maybe stuck in heavy snow. "I will not let anything happen to my mate, this time. I already lost my first lo ve, Vince. I can't lose Aaron. I can't. Please moon goddess keep him safe. Pl ease" She prayed in her mind and that's when Aaron's last word roamed in her mind. "I'm leaving and now I will never cross your path again" Tears fell from her eyes as now s he realised why he said those words. She cursed herself for not thinking like this before and then started praying to the moon goddess to save her mate while looking at him around
