Sonal gasped. Where had he found such audacity? Who had given him the authority to pull her into her father's mansion? Bharat continued, "Sonal, there is a bond spanning lifetimes between you and me. You may be the only power in this world capable of stopping me… but remember, if you block my path, this stone can burn you." He released her, leaving her standing, trembling. His touch had awakened a strange new sensation within her.
The next morning, the mansion buzzed with tension. Vikram Singh stormed through the hallways in a fury. Someone had informed him that the village's orphan, Roshan, had ventured into the forest at night.
"Roshan! You risk everything for that helpless boy? How many times must I warn you?" he bellowed. Vikram Singh immediately summoned his old trackers. "Keep an eye on Roshan from now on. Find that girl and remove her from here!" he ordered cruelly.
Watching from a distance, Bharat's lips curved into a cruel smile. He wondered if Alina was just an ordinary girl—or something far more extraordinary. He couldn't understand why Vikram Singh wanted to keep the two apart at all costs. Some deep secret must lie behind it.
Sonal, standing there, witnessed it all—fear for her brother, confusion about who Bharat really was, and the cruelty of her father—all tangled within her. Meanwhile, Roshan sat in the corner, tears streaming over his notebook, his helplessness evident.
Standing by the window of the guest house, Bharat (Valentine) stared toward the distant forest. Though silent, a storm raged within him.
Beside him, Ivan asked anxiously, "Alpha… Alina doesn't seem like just a village girl. Why is Vikram Singh being so cruel because of her?"
Bharat replied coldly, "Ivan, something big is buried in the soil of this village. Vikram Singh knows something about Alina. Whoever she is, we must find her. I can sense that she's in danger."
Meanwhile, inside the haveli hall, Vikram and Gayatri were in a heated argument.
"Please, don't be so harsh on your son. That girl… I feel pity for her," Gayatri pleaded.
Vikram Singh's eyes turned red with anger.
"What do you know, Gayatri? She is not an ordinary girl! That 'curse' runs in her blood. For the honor of this haveli, that secret must never come out. That's why she must disappear from this land forever!"
Gayatri was stunned. "Not an ordinary girl? A curse? What do you mean?"
Vikram roared, "Don't ask questions! I am very strict about this. What I say will happen—otherwise, this house will not survive!" he warned and stormed out.
The Secret Journey and the Threat
In her room, Sonal was trying to console Roshan.
"Brother… father has sent hunters. Alina is in danger."
Roshan sat helplessly, crying. Just then, Bharat entered the room. His powerful presence froze both Sonal and Roshan.
Bharat pulled Sonal aside and whispered,
"Sonal, if you want your brother to stay alive, tell me where Alina is—right now. I need the exact location. Otherwise, those hunters might kill her before your father even finds her."
Sonal trembled at the intensity in his eyes.
"Fine… Brother will take us to her house. But don't hurt her," she said.
Together, they secretly left the haveli.
Alina's House and the Shocking Discovery:
Bharat, Sonal, and Roshan reached a deserted house at the edge of the village. An eerie silence surrounded the place.
The artifact in Sonal's bag began to vibrate violently, emitting a strong blue glow—a clear sign of danger.
Bharat forcefully pushed the door open. As they stepped inside, a shocking sight awaited them.
Everything in the house was scattered. Signs of intrusion were everywhere—the hunters had already been there.
But Alina… was gone.
"Where is she? Did the hunters take her?" Roshan cried in panic.
Sonal stood frozen, completely shaken.
Bharat bent down and picked up a small piece of cloth from the floor. His body stiffened. Along with the human scent, there was also the unmistakable scent of rogue wolves.
Before the hunters could capture her, either Alina had used her power to escape… or someone else had taken her.
"She's not here, Sonal…" Bharat said, his voice carrying, for the first time, a trace of fear and urgency. The beast within him stirred violently, desperate to protect Alina.
At that moment, distant footsteps of the hunters echoed closer.
Bharat clenched his fist tightly. The artifact in his hand sparked with a burst of blue light.
Sonal held Roshan close, trying to calm him, but her eyes remained fixed on Bharat.
Now she understood—this Bharat was far more powerful than she had imagined…
…and the artifact was a reflection of his very existence.

Outside Alina's house, the silence of the night was shattered as jeeps screeched to a halt. The next moment, the sharp whistling of bullets tore through the air! Window glass shattered into pieces.
"Come out, Alina! Or we'll turn this house into your grave!" the hunters shouted brutally.
Sonal and Roshan crouched beneath the window, holding their breath.
Sonal's mind raced—If the hunters had Alina, why would they come here and create chaos?
She clutched her bag tightly to her chest. The blue artifact inside was burning now—not just with heat, but with something supernatural, as if a hidden power was trying to break free. With every gunshot, the stone emitted flashes of blue flame.
Sonal couldn't understand—was it a sign of death… or a warning of protection?
Roshan, confused and terrified, thought, If Alina isn't with them… then where did she go? Fear gripped him tightly.
---
There was no human fear left in Bharat's eyes—only the sharp intensity of a wild predator.
He moved close to Sonal, looking straight into her eyes.
"Sonal, listen carefully… they're here for Alina's blood. I'll go out and distract them. You take Roshan and escape through the back into the forest. Don't look back."
Sonal grabbed his hand in panic.
"No, Bharat! They have silver bullets. If you go alone, they won't let you live!"
Bharat gently freed his hand and gave a mysterious smile.
"Don't worry about me, Sonal. In a few moments, this forest will decide who the hunters are… and who the prey is. Just protect your brother—that's enough."
And before she could stop him, he disappeared into the darkness like lightning.

Sonal pulled Roshan and ran deep into the forest.
Then, in the darkness, she saw something that would become the most terrifying and thrilling sight of her life.
Near the house, a massive black shadow was attacking the hunters like a demon. It was twice the size of a man, its eyes glowing like burning embers even in the darkness.
"Ahh! Run! This is not human—it's a demon!" the hunters screamed.
The beast struck them down effortlessly, throwing them aside with a single swipe. But strangely, it didn't kill anyone—it only terrified them and forced them to flee.
Sonal couldn't even imagine it was Bharat.
This must be the guardian wolf protecting Alina, she thought.
Fear filled her heart—What if Bharat had already been killed by that creature? Tears welled up in her eyes.
---
After some time, silence returned to the forest.
Behind the haveli, Sonal waited anxiously in the darkness. Suddenly, footsteps approached through the bushes.
Bharat emerged. His clothes were torn in places, and there was a small wound on his face.
