Chapter: Chapter 65 - PuzzledAva's POVAll through the journey home, no one said a word. Not me, nor Xander. As for Alpha Lark, he slept for a long time, without opening his eyes.By the time we finally get back to the pack house, Xander made me know he was going to attend Alpha Lark, while I go see my friend, Penny. Fortunately, she was asleep.I pecked her head and made sure the blanket was wrapped around her well. Heaving a sigh, I went back to the things I packed from Aunt Janet's side. The question as to who I was kept ringing in my head."I healed him, Neva. How is that even possible?" I closed my eyes, sinking into the chair next to me. Since we got home late, everyone had gone to bed, and just a few werewolf soldiers were available."What do we do now?" Neva questioned."I don't know, Neva. I just want Lark to get better." I responded, trying to pick up the white paper with the blood stains I had seen while packing Aunt Janet's stuff."What could she have written?" I reminisced aloud but was interrupted by

Chapter: Chapter 64 - HealedAva's POVFear gripped me as I allowed Neva to take over my entirety. "Someone's coming," Neva purred.Quickly, I closed the door leading to Aunt Janet's room, and I remained silent.Suddenly I saw a shadow pass by the window side, causing my heart to leap. With my lips drawn into thin lines, I was ready to fight back by opening the door only for me to bump into Lark.Screaming hard, he curbed my hand, causing me to miss the attack. "Let me go!" I yelled, panting heavily."Calm down, sweetheart. It's me. It's Lark." he cautioned, holding me tighter."Goddess! You scared me." I paused, trying to catch my breath.Quickly Alpha Lark's guard rushed in. "Take everything packed into the car. We'll join you shortly," he added.I looked around, still trembling at the whole tense situation. I was sure I saw a shadow, and--"You are still shaking, Ava. What happened?" Alpha Lark questioned, his eyes fixed on mine."I feel someone killed my aunt. And the person is after me too," I trembled. Yes,

Chapter: Chapter 63 - EndangeredAva's POVI had arrived on the day she was to be buried. My eyes fell on the memorial photo frame, which contained not just Aunt Janet's photo. I was shocked to see my photo alongside hers. Do they really think I was dead as well?My legs wobbled beneath me as I felt tears roll out of my eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't believe the next time I'd be seeing my aunt would be in this coffin. The white, and gold coffin staring at me-it was as if I could see her.Right now, I don't even know if getting back my memories was worth it. What I feel now is pain and anguish. I feel hurt. I felt the lungs in my air a bit restricted. Holding the wall for support, I picked up my overflowing gown, as I tried to help myself in. Refusing help from Alpha Lark's guards.I had wanted to come alone, but he wouldn't let me. My heart ached so much that I couldn't help but burst into more tears, causing everyone to look back.The first person that caught my attention was Penny. Judging from her swollen face, I

Chapter: Chapter 62 - DiedAva's POVValerie? Again? What exact;y does this lady want from me?"Valerie, get back inside." Alpha Lark commanded."Seriously? Do you want me to say everything here?" Valerie asked, staring at me in anger."Xander!" Alpha Lark reached out to his beta."Alpha, there is a breach in the south wall where our other pack is, he went to settle that," One of the werewolf soldiers reported."Take her inside, right now." Alpha Lark commanded the soldier."I will not take that from you!" Valerie lashed out."And I am your Alpha, I won't allow you to disrespect me in this manner!" Alpha Lark shouted, controlling his wolf from taking over. I trembled in fear upon hearing him thunder at Valerie."I might be a gentleman, but do not take that for granted." Alpha Lark growled. Turning towards the soldier who had reported to him about Xander. "If I turn to meet this thing here, you'll be sorry!""You called me a thing because of her?" Valerie was still struggling with the soldier when she got hit fro

Chapter: Chapter 61 - RenewedAva's POVJolting us back into reality, the knock came yet again."Alpha, there's someone here to see you," the werewolf soldier announced.I quickly took a step back, heaving a sigh as if I had just got a load off my neck, I watched Alpha Lark walk closer to me. Holding my hand like a gentleman, I was short of words.Even though I'm pregnant, and have no idea what happened in my previous life, everything I feel for him this man looks new. Like I've never loved before. It all feels like a new start.Right now, I think I'd want to be like this. If my past was a painful one, and this is my reality. Then I want to be like this."Hey, Priceless," he moved closer to me, stroking my face gently. He kissed my forehead."I don't know why this is happening, but I want you to know that you are safe with me," Alpha Lark pulled me closer. Hugging me tighter, I felt a bit at ease."The visitor came for you," Alpha Lark replied.At first, I couldn't place what he was saying. But when he finally reac

Chapter: Chapter 60 - UnitedGrindley's POV"I must have been thinking a lot," I smiled, reaching out for another drink, after realizing that the whole of Ava's Aunt being here was just my mind playing tricks on me.But I might actually be putting this pack at risk. Since I know that Ava's heart is a hunter-I've lived each day in fear of her coming back.What if she comes back with her hunter friends? Over the years, the werewolf world has been on the run from the hunters because we've never been able to contend with them.I think I need to just take away all these feelings. I can't stop thinking about Ava. Am I really sad?"Alpha, I think you need to get some rest," one of the soldiers whom I had been very kind to, over the years spoke from a mile away."And you think because I've been good to you...you think you have the right to tell me what to do huh?" I shouted, my voice holding some growls in it."I know since the Luna left the palace, you feel empty and sad, but--""Enough! Peter, go back to your position!"

Calm down.” Elsi grabbed my face.“It’s alright,” he patted my head.Placing my head on his chest, I wept.“I promise you, she’ll be fine,” Elsie assured me.“Do you want me to come with you?” Elsie asked.“Someone needs to be here. We’ve got a movie cast in a few days to Christmas, Elsie.” I wiped off my tears.“I have to go,” I said. “I’ll always call you. If you need anything from me, don’t hesitate to let me know, okay?” Elsie shouted from behind.It took me two hours before I got to the airport. “Clara, you won’t be going with me. But please, give Elsie all the support he needs.” “Yes, ma’am,” Clara bowed.My flight was a very tiring one. I couldn’t help myself.All through the journey, I was just tearing up.

Chapter: Chapter 11 - Love And Pain 1“Etta, please. Don’t do this,” Michael pleaded.“Don’t come closer, please,” I yelled. “Etty, sweetheart. I know we’ve wronged you, But please, let’s make amends,” Granny Lorette almost knelt.“I’ve forgiven you. But I don’t want to have anything to do with any of you again,” I charged and left immediately.“Etta!” Michael called. “Clara, get the car door, now!” I ordered.I was in the car before Michael could get a hold of me.As I watched him through the car’s rare mirror, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had done too much. “Ma’am,” Clara broke the chain of my thoughts.“Yes, what is it?” I questioned.“It’s Mr. Felix. He said you cannot cancel the deal with the Whitmore,” Clara cleared her throat.“What do you mean by that?” I frowned in confusion.“He said they are one of the largest stakeholders in the company,” Clara explained.“I don’t want to have anything to do with those people!” I cried.“You have a call,” Clara passed my phone to me. It was Bella.“Bella you won’t believe

Chapter: Chapter 10 - Severed Bonds Michael’s POV “I'm sorry, Etta,” I repeat. “Don't come closer!” She yelled.“I know what I did was wrong. Please,” I tried to hold her, but she seemed to be disgusted by my presence. “It's been three years, Michael.” She started.“You and granny left me for three good years in an unknown land.” She took a step back.“I know I did really bad. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes. Please,” I pleaded further. “I didn't come here for this. So, please, leave! You are dead to me already,” she closed her eyes and was about to walk away. “I'm sorry, but I can't let you go. Consider Valerie,” I proposed. “Valerie?” She yanked her hand off. “She was never yours, and will never be!” She spat. “Now let me go!” She snapped.“I'm sorry, Etta.” I held her hand tighter. “Michael, Leave me alone!” she struggled with my grip. “Let the woman go, young man. I believe you to be a gentleman,” a masculine voice echoed from behind.Isn't this the man who was flirting with her a couple of m

Chapter: Chapter 9 - He Is Sorry?Marietta’s POV I don't know why my heart keeps racing when I see Michael. “You can't possibly tell me you still love him? After everything he's done,” Bella yelled over the phone. “I don't know, Bella. I'm confused. I saw him today. He asked after his daughter,” I whispered. Turning on the air conditioner, I lay on the bed exhausted. “He knows you have a daughter?” Bella questioned in surprise. “My personal life has been getting out somehow. I don't know what to do, Bella. I'm now a star, remember?” I heaved a sigh. “What do you want to do? What if he wants to claim Valerie?” Bella asked further. “Valerie is sleeping, right?” I questioned. Valerie is just three years old, but she is smarter than any kids I know of. “You know what, just make sure her face isn't seen by anyone. Stick to the plan.” I warned Bella. “I've got a lot of events ahead of me in the morning. And I need to wake up early.” I thanked Bella, hung the call, and dosed off. ******Clara’s call had woken me u

"It appears that she's the latest movie star in France right now," Alex answered."Here are photos of her, and her baby," Alex added.With shaky hands, I took one of the photos Alex had placed on my table."This is Etta now?" I asked in disbelief. "She looks-""Beautiful?" Alex responded.I thought I was the only one who noticed that. It's been three years, and I could not believe I left her all by herself."She's a movie star now," Alex broke the silence."I can see that Alex. You don't need to remind me," I shut my eyes close.The last time she called me, I had lied to her. Letting her know Granny Lorette will send some money."God! Why did I do that?" I whispered, shutting my laptop closed."She will be back in America in the next two days," Alex reported. "Is she married?" I quickly chipped in. I'm sure she wasn't with child when she left. Could she have gotten another man? Am I regretting everythin

Chapter: Chapter 7 - His ConfrontationMarietta's POVI could tell Michael could see the anger in my eyes. "Thank you, sir, for coming." Katty's voice interrupted our conversation. Michael lingered for some minutes before turning towards the crowd. I blinked back my tears. "You are strong, Etta." I reminded myself."Thank you for coming," Mr. Lucian climbed the stage. Giving each of the star representatives from different countries a handshake."Ms. Etta, I would love to meet with you after the party," Mr. Lucian shook my hand while I nodded.Walking out of the stage, I made my way outside. "Are you okay" Clara my assistant asked."Yes. I just need some air," I heaved a sigh. "Do you need me to come with you?" Clara questioned.Looking around, I felt relieved seeing that Michael had gone. "No, I'll be fine on my own,"Upon getting outside, a masculine voice echoed from behind. At first, I thought it was one of those disturbing reporters. But I was wrong. "Michael? What the hell do you want from me?!" I flinched. "I w
