Episode 60
Female Alpha
Sikandar us beach hotel par pohanch chuka tha jahan uski mulaqat Wesley Atkins se honi thi.
Beach hotel bilkul waisa hi tha jaisa internet par bayan kiya gaya tha—intehai luxurious. Entrance ki seedhiyan tak heeron se sajji hui theen. Hotel bohot zyada massive tha, aur seedha samandar ka shandaar view deta tha. Yahan kai mashhoor log bhi maujood thay.
Zahir hai, sirf mashhoor normal log.
Car se bahar nikalte hi Sikandar aur Adhara dono ko ek ajeeb si déjà vu wali feeling mehsoos hui.
Woh dono Atkins Family se milne ja rahe thay—bilkul usi tarah jaise pehle Amethyst Hotel mein Vargas se mile thay.
Lekin is dafa maamla mukhtalif tha.
Is baar unka saamna ek hostile high-ranking family se hone wala tha.
Agar Sikandar apne dushman Platchi Family ka muqabla Atkins Family se karta, to yeh bilkul aisa hota jaise billi ka muqabla jungle ke badshah se karna.
Platchi Family mushkil se ek Rank Five Awakened bhej paayi thi Sikandar ko maarne ke liye, jab ke Atkins Family bina kisi koshish ke Rank Six Awakened bhej sakti thi.
Yahan tak ke Jane, Wesley ki beti, khud bhi Rank Six thi—aur uski umar sirf 28 saal.
Isi wajah se—
Sikandar kabhi bhi Atkins Family ko apna dushman nahi banayega.
Kam az kam tab tak nahi, jab tak woh Rank Seven tak na pohanch jaye—jahan woh kisi family ke leader, jaise Duncan, ka muqabla kar sake.
Us waqt tak, woh koi bhi be-socha samjha qadam nahi uthayega.
Hotel ka naam tha Palm Oceanfront.
Andar jaane se pehle Sikandar ne Adhara ki kamar par haath rakha aur dono saath andar chal diye.
Hotel ke andar pohanchte hi, Sikandar seedha reception ki taraf gaya.
“Kya Wesley Atkins ke naam se koi reservation hai?” Sikandar ne seedha sawal kiya. Uska khayal tha ke Atkins pehle hi pohanch chuke honge.
Magar jawab uske liye hairan kun tha.
“Nahi sir, Wesley Atkins ke naam se koi reservation nahi hai. Kya aap shayad ghalat naam bata rahe hain?” receptionist ne adab se poocha.
Sikandar ne bina kisi hichkichahat ke kaha,
“Apne best dining room ko Sikandar Silverstar ke naam par book kar dein.”
Yeh sunte hi receptionist ne foran sar hilaaya aur staff ke ek member ko ishara kiya ke woh Sikandar aur Adhara ko room tak le jaye.
Chalte hue Sikandar apne gird-o-nawaah ka gehra jaiza le raha tha.
Kuch dair baad usne halki si muskurahat ke saath sar hilaaya.
“Yeh jagah bohot zyada khuli hui hai… agar kuch ghalat ho gaya to bhagna mushkil hoga. Achha hai ke maine pehle se plan tayyar kar liya hai,” woh dil hi dil mein socha.
Beach resort hone ki wajah se yeh jagah wasi, comfortable aur sab se barh kar open thi.
Yeh Sikandar ke liye sab se buri jagah thi agar koi khatra paida hota—yahan escape plan banana ya bach nikalna bohot mushkil tha.
“Adhara…” Sikandar ne narmi se pukara.
Adhara ne hairani se uski taraf dekha.
Sikandar ne kaha,
“Main thori dair mein jo bhi kahoon, please usay dil par mat lena, theek hai?”
Sikandar ke lehje ki narmi ne Adhara ko aur zyada shak mein daal diya.
“Tum abhi bohot suspicious lag rahe ho. Aakhir kya kehne wale ho?” Adhara ne kaha. Uska dil keh raha tha ke kuch theek nahi.
Sikandar sirf feeki si muskurahat ke saath aagay dekhne laga.
Room mein pohanch kar—
Unka istaqbal ek black-theme dining room ne kiya. Darmiyan mein ek lambi aur bari dining table thi. Uske upar sone aur heeron se saja hua chandelier latak raha tha. Lakri ki kursiyan classic aur modern ka khoobsurat mix thi.
Room se samandar ka poora view nazar aa raha tha, aur yeh har us cheez se lais tha jo ek perfect dining room ko chahiye hoti hai.
Ek alag meeting room bhi tha—jaise yeh jagah khaas tor par businessmen ke liye design ki gayi ho.
Sikandar aur Adhara meeting room mein aa kar baith gaye.
Kamray ki taaza khushboo ne unke zehno ko halka kar diya.
Sikandar ne kuch lamhon ke liye aankhein band kar li, jab ke Adhara kamray ka jaiza leti rahi.
Aankhein band kiye hue, Sikandar apne haath mein do chhoti vials ghumaa raha tha—ek mein laal aur doosri mein neela liquid tha.
Usne gehri saans li aur kaha,
“Adhara, yeh pee lo.”
Usne blue liquid wali vial Adhara ki taraf barha di.
“Yeh kya hai?” Adhara ne tajassus se poocha.
Sikandar ne aankhein band rakhte hue jawab diya,
“Bas pee lo… yeh tumhein peeni hai, mujhe nahi.”
“WHAT?! Mujhe laga tha plan ye tha ke tum piyo ge, achanak main kyun?” Adhara ne shikayat ki.
Halanke Adhara ko Sikandar par bharosa tha, lekin phir bhi yeh plan usay bechain kar raha tha.
Sikandar ne aankhein khol kar Adhara ki taraf dekha aur pur-sukoon awaaz mein bola,
“Jab hum Wesley se milenge, tum kaafi nervous ho jaogi. Behtar hai ke baat-cheet main hi karun.”
Adhara ne kuch dair hont kaate, socha… phir aakhirkaar sar hila kar raazi ho gayi aur vial pee li.
Sikandar ke haath mein abhi bhi laal vial tha. Woh use ungliyon ke darmiyan ghumata raha, waqt guzarne ka intezar karta raha.
Kuch dair baad—
Sikandar kamray se bahar nikla, idhar-udhar dekha, phir us laal vial ko ek phoolon ke ghamlay ke peeche chhupa diya, jahan kisi ki nazar mushkil se ja sakti thi.
Kaam mukammal kar ke woh wapas kamray mein aa gaya.
Adhara ne Sikandar ki taraf dekha aur gehri saans le kar dil mein dua ki,
“God… aaj humein bacha lena, main dua karti hoon.”
Magar jaise hi usne dua mukammal ki, dono—Adhara aur Sikandar—ne ek jani-pehchani si presence mehsoos ki jo unke kamray ki taraf barh rahi thi.
Dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
Aur achanak—
BRAK!
Darwaza zor se khula.
Sikandar ne saamne aane wale shaks ko dekha to uska chehra gusse se laal ho gaya,
“YEH YAHAN KYUN HAI?! MAINE ISAY WAHIN REHNE KO NAHI KAHA THA?!”
Adhara ne Sikandar ka gussa mehsoos kiya aur foran us shaks ki taraf barhi.
Darwazay par khara shaks Karan tha—jo kisi tarah yahan pohanch gaya tha. Is baat ne Sikandar aur Adhara dono ko hila kar rakh diya.
Sikandar phatne wala tha, is se pehle Adhara ne Karan ko pakra aur bahar le gayi.
“Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?! Sikandar ne tumhein UWO Office mein rehne ko nahi kaha tha?!”
Adhara ne uske kandhay pakar kar gusse aur hairani se poocha.
Karan ne seedhi nazar Adhara par daali aur kaha,
“Yeh meri ghalti thi… aur main khud hi isay khatam karunga.”
Adhara kuch keh hi na saki. Use yaqeen nahi aa raha tha ke Karan itni laparwahi kar sakta hai.
“Ryze kahan hai?” Adhara ne poocha.
Karan ne kandhay uchka diye,
“Woh UWO Office mein hai, theek hoga.”
“THEEK HOGA?!” Adhara cheekh uthi,
“Woh ghulam hai Karan! Ghulam! Use kuch samajh hi nahi aayega wahan!”
Karan ghabra gaya.
“Main un logon se ladhunga jo spellbooks chahte hain,” Karan ne jhijakte hue kaha.
“Tum ghalat ho!” Adhara ne ghusse se kaha,
“Tum normal logon se zyada taqatwar ho, magar jin se hum deal kar rahe hain woh ek pal mein tumhein maar sakte hain!”
Phir usne gehri saans li aur narmi se kaha,
“Hum ek family hain. Tumhari ghalti, hamari ghalti hai. Sikandar par bharosa karna seekho… woh tumhein har buraai se bachayega.”
Isi waqt Sikandar kamray se bahar aa gaya.
Uske chehre ki ghabrahat dekh kar Adhara samajh gayi—Atkins Family aa chuki thi.
“Kitchen mein chalay jao,” Sikandar ne Karan ko ishara karte hue kaha,
“Wahan waiters hain, koi tumhein le jayega.”
Karan hichkichaya, magar Sikandar ki sakht nazar dekh kar chup-chaap maan gaya.
Phir Sikandar aur Adhara wapas kamray mein aa kar apni seats par baith gaye.
Kuch hi lamhon baad, Wesley Atkins apni family ke sath kamray mein daakhil hua.
Sikandar aur Wesley ki nazrein ek dusre se takra gayin—shikariyon jaisi tez.
Yeh unki pehli mulaqat thi, aur Wesley khas taur par Sikandar mein dilchaspi le raha tha.
Ochrya University ka ek student us se milne ki himmat kare—yeh baat Wesley ke liye hairat angez thi.
Wesley ke sath paanch log aur the.
Unki dabang aur khofnaak aura ne poora kamra bhar diya—saans lena mushkil ho gaya.
Sab battle equipment mein the, siwaye Wesley ke. System scan ke mutabiq, unka equipment Black Devil Gloves se bhi high rank ka tha.
Sikandar ne scan kiya—Wesley aur uske log analyzable hi nahi thay.
Matlab… sab us se kahin zyada taqatwar.
Adhara, jiske paas system bhi nahi tha, woh bhi ghutan mehsoos kar rahi thi—jaise kamray mein 6 darinday aa gaye hon.
Wesley dheere dheere Sikandar ke saamne wali kursi par baitha. Nazrein Sikandar par jamaye rakheen, magar phir uski aankhein Adhara par tik gayin.
Ek pal ke liye uski aankhein phail gayin.
Yeh chhoti si tabdeeli Sikandar se chhupi nahi.
“Tum ne apni family ko kaafi achi tarah chhupaya,” Wesley ne gehri awaaz mein kaha,
“Meri umeed se tez niklay tum.”
“Thanks, Mr. Atkins,” Sikandar ne pur-sukoon muskurahat ke sath jawab diya.
“Mujhe bataya gaya hai ke tum kuch kehna chahte ho,” Wesley ne kaha,
“Main sun raha hoon.”
“Yeh sab ek ghalat fehmi thi,” Sikandar ne wazeh andaaz mein kaha,
“Mere logon ne ghalat box utha liya. Main chahta hoon ke spellbooks dene ke baad, mujhe, meri family aur qareebi logon ko bakhsh diya jaye.”
Wesley muskuraya,
“Agar bas yehi chahiye, to main Wesley Atkins wada karta hoon—tumhari family ko nuqsaan nahi hoga.”
“Main shukar guzar hoon,” Sikandar bola,
“Magar mujhe is se zyada chahiye… assurance.”
Isi waqt ek waiter drinks le kar aa gaya.
Sikandar ne glass par ek nazar daali—aur halki si muskurahat uske hont par aayi… phir foran ghayab ho gayi.
“Kya tum mere lafz par shak kar rahe ho?” Wesley ki awaaz sard ho gayi.
“Main ek deal propose karta hoon,” Sikandar ne kaha,
“Ek spellbook ab, doosri do maheene baad… teesri us ke baad.”
Wesley hans para.
“Tum waqt khareed rahe ho. Chaar maheene baad bhi main tumhein maar sakta hoon,” usne ghamand se kaha.
Sikandar ne parwah na ki,
“Main aapki kamiyabi ka qadr-daan hoon, Mr. Atkins. Is liye dushmani nahi chahta.”
Wesley ka seena aur phool gaya.
“Manzoor,” Wesley ne kaha.
“Magar…” Sikandar ne baat aage barhai,
“Main ne yeh baat na UWO ko batayi, na FAA ko… kisi ko nahi.”
Wesley samajh gaya.
“Is ke badlay,” Sikandar ne Adhara ki taraf ishara kiya,
“Main sirf $10 Million chahta hoon… ek raat ke liye.”
Adhara ki aankhein phail gayin.
Wesley ne hawas bhari nazron se Adhara ko dekha.
“Manzoor,” Wesley bola.
“Phir ek toast ho jaye,” Sikandar ne kaha.
Sab ne glass uthaya.
Magar—
Khans! Khans!
Adhara ne pehle sip li… uska gala jalne laga… aur woh zameen par gir gayi.
Sikandar aur Wesley ek dusre ko dekhte reh gaye—
“Yeh kya ho gaya…?”
_ _ _
“Abhi yeh kya hua?”
Wesley ke guards bhi hairani se aankhen phaila gaye. Un mein se ek foran refreshments ki taraf gaya aur glass ko soonghne laga.
Us aadmi ki kamar par green saber latak raha tha jo roshni mein chamak raha tha, jaise apni tez dhaar par fakhr kar raha ho. Us ka jism patla magar mazboot tha, gardan par ek purana nishaan aur saanp jaisi aankhen—yeh sab cheezen Sikandar ne foran notice kar li.
Us guard ne bhin bhina kar glass uthaaya. Jaise hi us ne paani ko hilaya, uski aankhen sikud gayin.
Paani gaadha aur daliya jaisa ho chuka tha.
Us ne glass ko daen-baen jhukaya, phir sar hila kar bola,
“Drink zehrili hai. Kisi ne aap ko poison karne ki koshish ki hai, sir.”
Yeh sunte hi Wesley ne foran Sikandar ki taraf dekha.
Us ke jism se taiz aura phootne laga. Shak seedha Sikandar par gaya.
Lekin Sikandar foran bola,
“Agar main ne zeher milaya hota, to main apni drink mein bhi kyun milata?”
Wesley ne Sikandar ke glass ki taraf dekha.
Wahan bhi paani bilkul waise hi gaadha tha.
“Tum ne bas drama create kiya ho sakta hai. Abhi bhi tum hi hamaray main suspect ho,”
ek guard ne kaha, talwar ke dastay par haath rakhte hue.
Hawa aur bhi bhaari ho gayi.
BAM!
Sikandar ne gusse mein table par haath maara.
“Agar main zeher dena chahta, to apni dost ko qurban na karta! Main yahan deal ke liye aaya hoon—sirf un logon ke liye jo mere qareeb hain!”
Wohi guard jo drink check kar raha tha, tanziya andaaz mein bola,
“Lekin tum ne us aurat ko bechne ki baat ki thi. Lagta nahi ke woh tumhare liye itni qeemti hai.”
Tanaav apni inteha par pohanch gaya.
Sikandar aur woh aadmi aik doosre ko ghoor rahe thay—koi peeche hatne ko tayyar nahi.
Wesley kuch lamhon tak khamosh raha, phir bol utha,
“Hans, peeche hato. Aur tum bhi Sikandar. Abhi deal todne par majboor mat karo.”
Sikandar ne daant bhinch kar khamoshi ikhtiyar kar li.
Tabhi achanak ek guard ka phone baj utha.
Woh guard bhaagta hua Wesley ke paas gaya, ghutnon ke bal jhuk kar bola,
“Sir! Reed Family ka call hai! Hamari factories par hamla ho gaya hai—unhon ne raid kar di hai!”
Wesley ki aankhen phail gayin.
Us ke paas alfaaz nahi rahe.
Sikandar ke honton par halki si muskurahat aa gayi.
“Lagta hai detective aur Deniz ne apna kaam kamyaabi se kar liya… sab kuch plan ke mutabiq chal raha hai.”
Hans ne Sikandar ki us halki muskurahat ko dekh liya.
Us ne aankhen sikor kar Sikandar ko ghoora.
Sikandar foran apna chehra badal kar udaas bana leta hai aur Adhara ke paas baith jata hai.
Wesley gusse se daant pees kar bola,
“Woh haraamzaday! Abhi wapas chalte hain. Agar abhi nikle to waqt par pohanch jayenge!”
“Yes, sir!”
sab guards aik saath bole.
Nikalte waqt Wesley achanak rukta hai aur mud kar Sikandar ko dekhta hai.
“Spellbook kahan hai?”
Sikandar foran apni suit pocket se spellbook nikaal kar Wesley ko de deta hai.
Wesley ne spellbook Hans ke haath mein thama di aur jagah chhor di.
Hans jaate jaate bhi shak bhari nazron se Sikandar ko dekhta raha.
Us ne spellbook scan ki, tasalli karne ke liye ke yeh asli hai.
“Main tum par nazar rakhoon ga,”
Hans ne kaha aur apne phone par kuch tap kiya.
Kuch hi der baad Sikandar ka phone bajne laga.
Hans wahan se chala gaya.
Sikandar zameen par padi Adhara ke jism ko sambhalte hue rone ka drama kar raha tha.
Aankhon mein aansu thay.
Lekin jaise hi us ne mehsoos kiya ke Atkins Family poori tarah ja chuki hai, us ka chehra foran sakht aur be-ehsaas ho gaya.
Adhara ki maut par rona—sirf aik naatak tha.
Kuch dair intezaar karne ke baad, Sikandar ne Adhara ke kandhe ko halki si thapki di.
“Utho… woh sab ja chuke hain.”
Adhara ki palkein kaanpi aur us ne aankhen khol di.
Us ke saamne Sikandar khara tha, apne kapray theek karta hua, collar dheeli karta hua.
Adhara gusse se uth khari hui.
“Tum ne woh sab kyun kaha?”
us ne cheekh kar poocha.
Us ki gardan ki nasain ubhar aayi thin.
Woh apna gussa mushkil se rok rahi thi.
Sikandar ne jo kaha tha—usey 10 million dollar mein bechne ki baat—woh lafz Adhara ke dil mein teer ki tarah lage thay.
Asal mein zeher Sikandar ka plan tha.
Us ne jaan bujh kar Adhara ko blue vial peene ko kaha tha—
kyun ke woh Demon Scorpion Venom ka antidote tha.
Yeh aisa zeher tha jo aasani se Rank Five Awakened ko maar sakta tha—
jo Sikandar ne shop se khareeda tha.
Wesley shayad Rank Eight Awakened ho,
lekin baat zeher ki taqat ki nahi thi…
Baat niyyat ki thi.
Wesley ke liye, kisi ka use poison karne ki koshish karna—
seedha tauheen thi.
Aur Sikandar yeh baat achi tarah jaanta tha.
Is liye us ne yeh sab kiya.
Woh chahta tha ke Atkins Family usey aik be-zarar, kamzor aadmi samjhe.
Aur saara shak Reed Family par chala jaye.
Guard ka phone call bilkul sahi waqt par aaya.
Ab Sikandar ko poora yaqeen tha ke Wesley yahi sochega—
ke Reed Family ne spellbooks chori hone ka pata laga liya hai
aur badlay mein usey zeher dene ki koshish ki hai.
Perfect plan nahi tha…
magar kaam kar gaya.
Sikandar ne Adhara ki taraf aik nazar dekhi aur kaha,
“Main ne tumhein pehle hi kaha tha… meri baaton ko dil par mat lena.”
Lekin Adhara ne uski baat suni hi nahi.
Aankhon mein aansu liye woh aage barhi aur Sikandar ko dhakka de diya.
“Hey! Shaant ho jao!”
Sikandar ne usey sambhalte hue kaha.
Magar Adhara ka gussa phoot chuka tha.
Woh Sikandar ko dhakke dene lagi, mukkay maarne lagi—
aansu us ke gaalon par beh rahe thay.
“TUMHEIN YEH SAB KARNE KI ZAROORAT NAHI THI!
TUMHEIN WOH BAAT KAHNE KI ZAROORAT NAHI THI!”
Adhara cheekh rahi thi, tadap rahi thi,
aur Sikandar uske haath pakad kar usey rokne ki koshish kar raha tha…
Sikandar ko lagataar do teen mukay lage jab woh wazahat karne ki koshish kar raha tha.
“Main ne woh baat sirf is liye kahi thi taake Wesley ko phansaya ja sake. Mujhe laga woh tumhein pasand karta hai, lekin iska matlab yeh bilkul nahi ke main tumhein bech doon. Ghalat mat samjho,” Sikandar ne kaha.
Magar uski har wazahat bekaar gayi.
Adhara aur bhi zyada aggressive ho gayi.
Kuch aur mukay khane ke baad, Sikandar is situation se thak chuka tha. Usne thodi si taqat lagai aur Adhara ko deewar se ja kar daba diya.
Usne apne right hand se Adhara ke dono haath pakad liye aur apni taang uski taangon ke darmiyan rakh di taake woh hil bhi na sake.
“Tumhein yeh kehne ki zarurat nahi thi… tumhein yeh kehne ki zarurat nahi thi…”
Adhara ki awaaz dheere dheere kamzor hoti chali gayi.
Sikandar ne Adhara ka sar apni chhaati se laga liya jab woh rone lagi.
Usne umeed nahi ki thi ke uske alfaaz Adhara ko itna zyada takleef pohanchayenge. Usse laga tha woh is baat ko asaani se nazarandaz kar degi.
Adhara uski chhaati par roti rahi, aur Sikandar mehsoos kar sakta tha ke uski shirt aansuon se bheeg rahi hai.
Taqreeban paanch minute baad, Sikandar ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,
“I’m sorry… mujhe nahi pata tha ke meri baat tumhein itna zyada hurt karegi.”
Is par bhi Adhara ne koi jawab nahi diya.
Uski halki siskiyan aahista aahista rukne lagi.
Phir Adhara ne sar uthaya aur Sikandar ki aankhon mein dekha.
Uski gol, khoobsurat aankhon mein ajeeb si udaasi aur sawal tha.
“Hum… asal mein hain kya?” usne poocha.
Yeh sunkar Sikandar ke hosh udd gaye.
Uski aankhen phail gayin. Woh stoic expression jo har situation mein qaim rehta tha, aik lamhe mein toot gaya—bilkul aik hairaan bachay ki tarah.
Woh alfaaz kho baitha, jab ke abhi bhi woh Adhara ko deewar se lagaye hue tha.
Adhara ne apni baayi bhonh thodi si uthai aur is martaba aur bhi dheere kaha:
“Hum… hain… kya?”
Mahaul achanak tense ho gaya.
Sikandar ko woh ajeeb si feeling phir se mehsoos hui—jaise koi jazbati darinda uske andar jaag raha ho. Aur har dafa jab woh jaagta, Adhara se mutaliq har cheez usse aur bhi zyada pur-kashish lagne lagti.
Uski gardan par chamakta hua rune, Silverstar Mark, uski tez saansein, kamar tak girte hue jet-black baal, peshani par paseena—sab kuch.
Sikandar be-ikhteyar Adhara ki gardan ke qareeb jhuk gaya. Uski khushboo seedha uski saanson mein utar gayi.
Sikandar ki garam saans mehsoos karte hi Adhara ne apni mutthi bhinch li. Uski taangein kamzor parne lagin aur usne apna baaya haath Sikandar ki gardan ke gird lapet liya.
<Sudden Quest!>
Female Alpha
"Silverstar Pack, jo user ne banaya hai, ko aik Female Alpha ki zarurat hai—jo user ke safar mein uska saath de. Har Werewolf pack ke liye Female Alpha zaroori hoti hai.
Adhara ko apni Female Alpha banayein. User ko Adhara ko kiss karna hoga aur apni Alpha aura us tak phelani hogi."
Quest Reward:
" Sanity stat ka girna mushkil ho jayega,
Shared Silverstar Pack Authority,
aur Stone of Love."
System ka notification Sikandar ke samne zahir hua, magar uska zehan kahin aur hi tha.
Usne Adhara ke collarbone ko chhua aur dheere dheere us raaste par apni ungliyan chalata gaya.
Adhara halki si kaanp uthi. Uski saansein aur tez ho gayin.
Jab Sikandar ka haath collarbone ke aakhir tak pohancha aur gardan ko chhua, toh baghair kisi hichkichahat ke usne Adhara ki gardan pakar li.
Un dono ki aankhen aik dosray se ja mili—jalti hui jazbaat ke saath.
Phir Sikandar ki nazar Adhara ke honton par gayi.
Usne zor se nighal li—uska gala sookh chuka tha.
Uske andar ka darinda bilkul be-qaboo hone laga.
Uska jism kaanp utha aur aakhirkaar woh jhuk gaya—aur Adhara ke honton ko choom liya.
Click!
Unke hont aik ho gaye. Jazbaat aur khwahish ne dono par qabza kar liya.
Sikandar ne Adhara ko utha kar table par bitha diya, jab ke unka kiss aur bhi gehra ho gaya.
Glass aur plates zameen par gir kar toot gaye.
Dono apni animalistic urges ke hawalay ho chuke thay.
Unhein pata bhi nahi chala ke Sikandar ka jism neeli roshni se chamakne laga, jo dheere dheere dono ko aik cocoon ki tarah lapet rahi thi.
Uske naakhun be-ikhteyar panjon mein tabdeel ho gaye.
“Sikandar… tumhare claws… tum bohot zyada excited ho,”
Adhara ne mushkil se kaha, gehri saansein lete hue.
Magar ab us waqt,
Adhara khud bhi use rokna nahi chahti thi.
Bas jab Sikandar uska dress uthane hi wala tha—
Dharak!
Darwaza achanak khul gaya.
Suraj aur Karan andar aa gaye.
Manzar dekhte hi Suraj ne foran Karan ki aankhen dhak di.
“Oops… baad mein aata hoon,” Suraj ne kaha.
Dono aik dum ruk gaye.
Sikandar ne gehri saans li, apne panjon ko dekh kar gaali di.
“Damn…”
“Lagta hai deal achi rahi,” Suraj ne mazaak mein kaha.
Sikandar ne use dhakka diya.
“Paise mil gaye hain,” Sikandar ne kaha.
“Ab bas spellbooks Reed ko deni hain, phir sab khatam.”
Adhara ne apne kapray theek kiye.
Kamray se nikalte hue, Sikandar ne aik baar phir Adhara ko dekha—
‘Damn it…’
_ _ _ _
Do din guzar chuke thay.
Wesley Atkins se meeting ke baad, Sikandar wapas Ochyra University aa chuka tha.
Refreshments mein jo zehr kisi tarah mila tha, woh asal mein Suraj ka kaam tha. Sikandar ne pehle hi use keh diya tha ke flower pot ke peeche rakhi hui vial uthaye aur drinks ko intercept kare.
Yeh sab Sikandar ka plan tha.
Woh chahta tha ke Reed Family par ilzaam aaye.
Agar Sikandar ya uske log Atkins Family ka bojh apne upar le lete, toh masla kabhi khatam na hota aur uske parents ko aur zyada arsey tak Cluster Domain mein rehna parta.
Isi liye Sikandar ne pehle hi aik spellbook Atkins Family ko de di thi.
Jo spellbook usne Wesley ko di, woh replica thi — ek nakli copy — jiske liye usne system ko khaasi rashi ada ki.
Sikandar ko baad mein pata chala ke system spellbooks ko scan karke unki exact copies bana sakta hai.
Isi wajah se asal spellbook Reed Family ko di jani thi, jabke Wesley ke paas sirf replica rahegi.
Iske ilawa Sikandar ke paas aik aur replica bhi thi, jo us waqt kaam aati agar do mahine ke andar andar woh khud ko Atkins Family ke chungal se azaad na kar saka.
Sikandar ko waqt aur paisa chahiye tha — aur system par use poora yaqeen tha.
Atkins aur Reed Family dono se milne wale items ke zariye, woh system shop se be-shumaar cheezen khareed sakta tha. Rank Six ya hatta ke Rank Seven tak pohanchna uske liye mushkil nahi tha.
Dusre Awakened ke liye yeh namumkin hota,
lekin Sikandar ke liye… yeh bilkul mumkin tha.
Atkins Family se milne wale 10 million dollars mein se, Sikandar ne apni Lightning Affinity ko High Rank tak upgrade kiya, aur saath hi Adhara ki Fire Affinity ko bhi mazboot kiya.
Iske baad usne High-Grade Mana Charm Elixir bulk mein khareed li, jiski wajah se uske paas sirf 2 million dollars hi reh gaye.
Magar Sikandar ko koi afsos nahi tha.
Power ke muqable mein paisa uske liye be-maanay tha.
Awakened power ko kam az kam Rank Six tak pohanchane ki tayyari ke sath sath, Sikandar aur Adhara ke darmiyan rishta bhi badal chuka tha.
Adhara uske bohat qareeb ho gayi thi.
Kabhi kabhi woh Sikandar ko gale laga kar hi so jaati thi.
Yeh sab Sikandar ke liye apni khwahishon ko control karna aur mushkil bana deta tha, lekin uske dil mein ek ajeeb baat hamesha rehti thi —
jab se usne Adhara ko Female Alpha banaya tha, woh khud thora kamzor mehsoos karta tha.
Usne system ka Sudden Quest pehle hi dekh liya tha, aur us lamhay usne apne aap par gussa karte hue facepalm kiya.
Usne bina soche samjhe Adhara ko Female Alpha bana diya tha.
Magar jo ho chuka tha, woh badla nahi ja sakta tha.
Is liye usne bas kandhay ucha kar baat ko chhor diya.
Magar Adhara ki ek cheez bilkul nahi badli —
uski determination.
Jab Sikandar thaka hua bed par aaram karta rehta, Adhara lagataar training hall ja kar mehnat karti rehti.
Yeh dekh kar Sikandar ke chehre par muskurahat aa jati — aur kabhi kabhi use apne aaram par guilt bhi mehsoos hota.
Is waqt Sikandar apne haath mein tohfon ka dher liye kahin ja raha tha.
Woh apni maa ke ghar ja raha tha, sirf uski khairiyat dekhne ke liye.
Adhara bhi uske sath thi, uske haath mein bhi kuch gifts thay.
Jab woh ghar pohanche, toh unhon ne dekha ke Mrs. Greene aur Robert darwazay ke bahar saath kharay thay, jaise unka intezar kar rahe hon.
Jab unhon ne Adhara ko Sikandar ke sath dekha, dono ki aankhein khushi se chamak uthi.
“Dear, jaldi se guest room theek karo! Sirf Sikandar nahi aa raha,”
Robert ne jaldi se kaha.
Mrs. Greene ne foran sar hilaaya aur lagbhag bhaagte hue andar chali gayi.
“Robert, mom andar kyun bhaag rahi hain?”
Sikandar ne hairani se poocha.
Robert khushi se khud ko rok na saka. Usne Sikandar ko mardon wali jhappi di.
Apne beta ko kisi ladki ke sath ghar laate dekh kar use apna pehla tajurba yaad aa gaya — ek yaadgaar lamha.
“Yahin rukte hain, tumhari maa bathroom gayi hain,”
Robert ne jhoot bola, sirf waqt hasil karne ke liye.
Uski nazar phir Adhara par gayi, jo apne simple safed kapron mein bohat khoobsurat lag rahi thi.
“Adhara, tumhein yahan dekh kar bohat khushi hui,”
Robert ne kaha.
“Shukriya, mujhe bulane ka,”
Adhara ne adab se jawab diya.
Robert halki si hansi hansa, usne Adhara ke kandhay par haath rakh kar kaha,
“Itni formal kyun ho? Sharmao mat.”
Adhara muskurayi aur sar hila diya.
“Bahaar kyun kharay hain? Andar chalte hain,”
Sikandar ne kaha aur Adhara ko andar chalne ka ishara kiya. Dhoop kaafi tez thi.
Magar jaise hi woh andar jaane laga, Robert ne use rok liya.
“Ruko, tumhari maa khud tum dono ka welcome karna chahti hain,”
Robert ne pasine ke sath kaha.
Sikandar ne is baat ko notice kiya hi tha ke tabhi Mrs. Greene bahar aa gayi.
Woh gehri saansein leti hui muskurayi aur boli,
“Mera pyara Sikandar… aur Adhara, meri bahu!”
Yeh sun kar Sikandar sakta mein aa gaya, jabke Adhara sharam se laal ho gayi.
Mrs. Greene ne dono ko aik sath gale laga liya.
Sikandar kuch kehna chahta tha, magar maa ke hug ke neeche bas chup reh gaya.
Thori baaton ke baad, sab ghar ke andar chale gaye.
Andar ka manzar dekh kar Sikandar dang reh gaya.
Ghar poori tarah badal chuka tha — pichlay aangan mein ek mehnga aur fancy swimming pool bhi tha.
Awakened log kitni mehngi cheezen khareed sakte hain, iska andaza Sikandar ko tab hua.
Uske liye paisa ab sirf numbers tha.
Agar uske paas system na hota aur sirf 10 million dollars hote, toh shayad woh Rank Three se aage kabhi na barh pata.
Magar aam logon ke liye, 10 million dollars zindagi bhar ka fakhar hota.
Jo cheez Sikandar ne apni maa ko “thori si madad” samajh kar di thi, usne poora ghar badal diya tha.
“Sab kuch kitna badal gaya hai…”
Sikandar ne ahista kaha.
Mrs. Greene pyaar se hansi,
“Yeh sab tumhari wajah se hai Sikandar. Tum ne jo kuch haasil kiya aur humein diya, humhein tum par bohat fakhar hai.”
Sikandar ne sachchi muskurahat ke sath apni maa ko gale laga liya.
Adhara side se yeh sab dekh kar khush ho rahi thi — itna ke uski aankhon mein aansu aa gaye.
Kuch ghanton baad, maa ki khairiyat check kar ke, Sikandar aur Adhara wapas university chalay gaye.
.
.
.
.
Dopahar ho chuki thi aur Sikandar ki bhook zoron par thi.
Isi liye Adhara kitchen mein uske liye khana bana rahi thi, jabke Sikandar bed par leta hua aaram kar raha tha.
Uske haath mein aik siyah rang ki kitaab thi, jo gehri mana emit kar rahi thi.
Yeh Black Lightning Spellbook thi, jo usne system shop se khareedi thi.
Is ka naam tha:
Great Spell:
Sky Rupture
Yeh aik tabah kun Lightning spell thi, jo aasman mein daraar paida karti aur ek bohat taqatwar bijli ko neeche bulati.
Bijli ke lagtay hi ek shockwave banti jo us se takraane wali har spell ko cancel kar deti.
Yeh spell sirf Rank Five par aik martaba use ho sakti thi, kyun ke yeh be-hadd lightning mana kharch karti thi.
Sikandar ne yeh spell is liye khareedi kyun ke use mehsoos hota tha ke
jab woh Rank Six pohanchega, yeh spell uski rooh se perfectly match karegi.
Aasman mein daraar…
Aur baadalon ka darbaan — Gatekeeper of Clouds Spirit.
Is khayal mein hi kuch khaas tha.
Sikandar ne Adhara ke liye ek high-ranking fire spell bhi khareeda tha, jo bilkul us ke element ke mutabiq tha.
Is spell ka naam tha “Blazing Nightmare”.
Jab caster is spell ko activate karta hai, us ki aankhen gehri surkh roshni se chamak uthti hain. Agar koi dushman ghaflat mein ho aur is spell ki range mein aa jaye, to us ka jism andar se jalna shuru ho jata hai.
Aisi aag jo bahar nazar nahi aati, lekin andar hi andar target ke organs ko jala kar rakh deti hai, jis se poore jism mein intehai dardnaak jalan phail jati hai.
Isay aap Sikandar ki Alpha Intimidation se compare kar sakte hain.
Farq sirf itna hai ke Alpha Intimidation dushman ko stun karta hai, jab ke Blazing Nightmare usay andar se jala deta hai.
Ye spell Adhara ke liye perfect thi, khaaskar is liye ke wo dagger use karti hai — chhup kar, qareeb se, aur aik hi vaar mein dushman ko tod dene wali.
Adhara ne cooking mukammal ki hi thi ke Sikandar foran khanay par toot pada.
Use Adhara ka khana waqai bohot pasand tha, aur bhookh itni lagi hui thi jaise aik haftay se kuch khaya hi na ho.
Adhara halki si hans di jab us ne Sikandar ko aise khatay dekha jaise koi jung jeet kar aaya ho.
Magar jaise hi Sikandar khana kha raha tha, us ka phone baj utha…
Aur aglay hi lamhay band ho gaya.
Sikandar ne phone uthaya aur missed call dekhi. Us ki aankhen sakht ho gayin.
Usi number se aik message bhi aaya tha.
Message parhnay ke baad, Sikandar ne khana khatam kiya aur uthtay hue bola,
“Main thori dair ke liye bahar ja raha hoon.”
“Thik hai, ehtiyaat karna,” Adhara ne kaha.
“Main training karne ja rahi hoon. Agar mujhe dhoondhna ho to training hall mein mil jaungi.”
Sikandar room se nikal gaya, jab ke Adhara safai mein lag gayi.
Sikandar Cluster Domain pohancha aur wahan se asal spellbooks lene laga.
Us ki nazar Dyrmir par pari — Ugrok ka beta — jo bijli ki tarah idhar udhar daur raha tha, lightning power us ke jism ke gird lapakti hui.
“Ye ajeeb hai… kya Cyclops naturally lightning element use kar sakte hain?”
Sikandar ne socha, magar phir is khayal ko nazar-andaz kar diya.
Us ne aagay dekha to Ugrok campfire ke paas baitha hua khana kha raha tha.
Sikandar ki aankhen tang ho gayin jab us ne Ugrok ke jism se nikalti peeli roshni dekhi.
Ye aam energy nahi thi… ye higher-rank force thi.
Sikandar ne foran usay scan kiya.
<Race: Cyclop – Teen
Power: Rank Five (Early) – Berserk Fighter
Mental: 80
Strength: 187
Agility: 107
Endurance: 141
Intelligence: 95>
Stats dekh kar Sikandar ke hosh udd gaye.
Sirf Rank Five hi nahi… balkay pichhli dafa ke muqablay mein Ugrok ki power mein hairat-angez izafa ho chuka tha.
“Agar Full Moon na ho… to shayad main is se haar jaaun,”
Sikandar ne dil hi dil mein socha.
Ugrok ne Sikandar ko dekha jo usay ghur raha tha.
Wo sirf gehri saans leta hai aur bina kuch kahe apna sar pher leta hai.
Us ke baad Sikandar Cluster Domain se bahar nikal aata hai.
Entrance ke paas pohanch kar us ne wahi number dial kiya.
“Main Sikandar hoon.”
Doosri taraf se awaaz aayi,
“Main pehle hi intezar kar raha hoon. Tum kahan ho?”
“Kya tum zyada log le kar aaye ho?” Sikandar ne sakhti se poocha.
“Atkins abhi bhi tum par nazar rakh sakte hain. Agar unhon ne mujhe rastay mein rok liya to masla ho jayega.”
“Akela mat chalna,” doosri taraf se jawab aaya.
“Main apnay aadmi bhej raha hoon, wo tumhein escort karenge.”
Sikandar ne kaha ke wo Emham Forest ke bahar milenge, aur call kaat di.
“Is ke baad bas aik hi kaam bacha hai… aur zyada taqatwar banna,”
Sikandar ne socha.
“Platchi ko abhi chhor deta hoon. Agar wo khamosh rahe to theek… warna main unhein zameen se mita doon ga.”
Lekin jaise hi wo entrance se nikalnay laga…
Crack!
Baayein janib se shaakh tootnay ki awaaz aayi.
“Kaun hai wahan?!”
Sikandar ne cheekhte hue Black Devil Gloves nikaal liye.
Awaaz mein hairani thi, lekin asal mein wo pehle hi do logon ki presence mehsoos kar chuka tha.
Wo dono bhaagte hue aaye thay, jaise kisi cheez se jaan bacha kar.
Aur unki niyyat buri nahi thi.
Agle hi lamhay Sikandar hawa ki tarah un ke peechay pohanch chuka tha.
Samne aik larka aur aik larki thay — dono zakhmi, kapron par khoon laga hua.
“Tum meri jasoosi kar rahe ho?”
Sikandar ki awaaz sakht aur sard thi.
Us ki aura itni bhaari thi ke dono laraz gaye.
“N-Nahi!” larkay ne kaanpte hue kaha.
“Hum… hum aik mutated janwar se bhaag rahe thay!”
Sikandar ne baat kaat di.
“Jo dekha hai, sab batao!”
Magar jawab dene se pehle hi…
Un dono ki nazar Sikandar ke peechay pari.
Aik siyaah mutated bear, jo aik school bus jitna bara tha, bijli ki raftaar se Sikandar ki taraf lapka.
Dono ne laraztay hue haath se Sikandar ke peechay ishara kiya.
Aankhen band…
Aur phir—
BAM!
CRASH!
Zor daar dhamakay ke baad aik dardnaak dahaar sunai di…
Magar awaaz ab door ja chuki thi.
Dono ne dheere se aankhen khol kar dekha.
Sikandar abhi bhi wahin khara tha… bilkul be-harakat.
Bear door zameen par para tha — us ke haath paon toote hue, jism kaanp raha tha.
Us ki zindagi dheere dheere khatam ho rahi thi.
Sikandar ne dono ko ghoor kar dekha.
Un ki rooh kaanp uthi.
“Agar tum ne aaj jo dekha ya suna… kisi ko bataya,”
Sikandar ki awaaz qatal ki tarah thandi thi,
“to main tumhein dhoond nikaalunga.”
Aur aglay hi pal…
Wo hawa ki tarah ghaib ho chuka tha.
Larka aur larki aik doosray ko dekhte reh gaye, abhi tak laraztay hue.
“Ye… ye to Ochyra University ka mashhoor Sikandar Silverstar tha, na?”
Un ke hont khamosh thay… magar dil cheekh raha tha.
