Ava Martin was on the screen as one of the top Actresses in the city. The shoot for that day was over and she was back home. She was in front of the television, watching the news, it was about her being so good at what she does. There was a bowl of popcorn in front of her and a cup of juice as well. She would dip her hands into the bowl and take some popcorn from it. She would also stretch herself to take the drink as well. Chris walked into the room. He had not gone yet, and that was because Aurora would not let him go; he had to follow them to the hotel room so he could please Aurora. " You are so good. Look who is on the screen again," he said. " They can not do without me, I happen to make the news, I'm the one always talked about" " I guess I manage you so well. Look who is being recognized again and again." he raised his shoulders up at how good he was at managing Ava. " I should get your pay increased," Ava burst out laughing. " That should not be a joke," he said. H

One would think that he was going to back down from going after her but no, it was not someone like Caleb Reed. He followed behind her like someone who was chasing after those who took something from him. His driver would look at him, expecting him to say something about them stopping and turning back but he kept a straight face. When he saw that his driver was stealing glances at him. He dropped his phone and looked at him. " Is anything the problem?" He asked him. " You will be late for work, should we not turn back and head to the office instead?" " The last time I checked, I was the one paying for your services, isn't that so?" " My apologies sir," he said as he slightly bowed his head. Caleb was a bit pissed with his driver, but his mood changed when he could see Ava clearly. A smile appeared on his face as his lips curved into a happy grin. His face turned into a frown almost immediately as he wondered why he was overly happy to see her. He thought to himself that he sho

Chapter 8When Caleb showed no intention of reciprocating the kiss, she tried to deepen it, but he pulled away. She attempted to lean in again, only to have him place a hand on her shoulder, keeping her at arm's length."Not tonight, Sophia," he said, causing her face to fall as he picked up her robe from the bed.Caleb walked back to Sophia and handed her the robe. "Put it on," he commanded, his voice firm yet calm."But—" Sophia began, but Caleb cut her off. "Just put it on, Sophia," he repeated, his tone more forceful this time, causing her to flinch.Reluctantly, Sophia took the robe from him and put it on, her forehead creased with frustration."I'm really tired. You should use the other room tonight," He stated, his words sounding like an order rather than a suggestion."But we always sleep together," Sophia protested, her fists clenched tightly. However, the seriousness in Caleb's expression made her think twice about arguing further."Okay," she conceded, forcing a smile. "Go

As she finished drying her hair, her phone began to ring, prompting her to pick it up to see who was calling. Noticing it was Chris, she answered the call promptly."Hey," Chris's calm and smooth voice greeted her as the call connected. "Are you settled in?""Yeah. Aurora just fell asleep," Ava responded, her gaze lingering on her daughter."I'm going out for lunch soon. Would you like to join me?""Sure. Just give me a minute to get dressed," Ava said, rising from the bed and walking towards the wardrobe to choose an outfit."Okay. I'll wait for you in the lobby," Chris replied before ending the call.After deciding on a simple casual outfit, Ava let her hair down and checked on Aurora once more before grabbing her bag and phone and leaving the room.Chris sat comfortably in the hotel lobby, his gaze fixed on his phone as he made necessary schedule changes for the upcoming movie shoot, scheduled in two days, while waiting for Ava to arrive.Finally, he caught a glimpse of her approac

Ava's eyes widened in shock as she locked eyes with Caleb's equally stunned face, her world coming to a sudden halt."Mama!" Aurora called to her mother, arms outstretched, snapping Ava out of her frozen state.Walking towards her daughter, Ava's expression quickly shifted to relief. She leaned forward, gently retrieving Aurora from Caleb's arms and securing her in her own before taking a few steps away from the still stunned Caleb."You had Mommy worried sick," Ava said, pinching Aurora's cheek gently. "Don't ever go off on your own again, okay?" she scolded gently. Aurora nodded in response."I made a new friend, Mommy," Aurora said, pointing towards Caleb and bringing her mother's attention back to the man she was desperately trying to avoid eye contact with."Thank you for finding my daughter," Ava said quietly to Caleb, avoiding his eyes as she mumbled her words.She quickly turned around and left with Aurora, not wanting to be in the same space as Caleb for even a second longer.

The man picks up Aurora who is still sobbing with her lower lip out as she sniffles. He pulls at her cheeks as he smiles adoringly at her. “Hey little one. I’m so sorry you fell”. He pats her hair. He looks into her green eyes that remind him of hers. She finally smiles at him and someone else’s image comes into his mind. He shakes his head trying to get rid of it. He reciprocates her smile. He turns to his sister with a huge smile. However, his sister looks impatient. Knowing the kind of person she is, he removes his phone from his pocket and sends a text to his driver. “I just sent a text to the driver. He will be here soon. You can just go to the lounge to wait for him”. He informs her. She nods and leaves in the direction of the lounge without saying a word. Caleb heaves a sigh of relief the minute she leaves. He had come to pick her up from the airport to prevent her from complaining about being abandoned later on. He had even hoped that she would ha

It was like Favian knew what was going to happen. It was like he saw it and told me about it. How can it be?When I raised my head, Coral and Nathan were sitting down. I could swear that they were not going to come back after what happened last night, and after Favian warned them not to talk about it again, but they never listened. " What are you two doing here?" I asked." You have no right to question my guest; I was the one who invited them here," His mother said. I looked at Fabian, but he did not make a move; he stood there as he watched me, expecting me to say something or do something, but it seemed like my legs were tied to the ground, and my tongue seized as well. I looked at him again, I saw that anger in his face. Like he was going to yell at me for standing there and not saying anything. " Why would you do such a thing? They have no business coming into this house; why would you bring them here? I do not want to ever see them here again" I yelled. It was the first tim

The house looked like I had just poured silence on it. This silence hit everywhere after Nathan and Coral had gone. I was once defended again and it made me feel good. I was happy that someone could raise his voice to save me. I woke up that morning feeling all my body in one piece. I touched the bed, this was one thing that stood out as well. I frowned when I remembered the activities of the previous day. I got up and slowly walked out of the room. I did not want to be the one who would make the noise. I silently walked to the sitting room where there seemed to be a lot of tension between Favian and his mother. My heart skipped. Maybe I must have slept so deeply that I did not hear them argue. I knew they were arguing and it seemed it was about me. I could tell that, I could tell from the way his mother looked at me.I hated it, it made me feel like I was the reason for all her misfortune. " Good morning," I managed to say. I wanted it to be as loud as possible but it only c

The soft fabric of the dress caressed my skin as I walked through the grand hall, my arm linked with Favian’s. I had never worn anything this beautiful in my life. The gown was a deep emerald green, shimmering under the soft lights as if it were alive. I felt elegant, powerful, like someone worth admiring. It was a far cry from the ragged woman I had been only days ago.Favian’s hand gripped mine gently, but there was a firmness to it, and it made me feel safe. This was no ordinary night, it was my introduction to the world as his mate, as Luna of the Furbloom Pack. My heart pounded in my chest as we stepped further into the crowd, where Alphas and Lunas from far and wide had gathered. They watched us with curious eyes, whispers buzzing like bees as we made our way to the center of the grand event.I could feel their eyes on me, but tonight, for the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel small or ashamed. I felt proud.When we reached the stage, Favian’s grip on my hand tightened,

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me. The mattress cradled my aching body, and for a moment, I thought I was still dreaming. Then the memories of last night came crashing back… being cast out, stumbling through the woods, the bar, the drunken men... and the wolf. I shot upright in bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I wasn’t in the woods, and I certainly wasn’t in that grimy bar. Instead, I found myself in a large, luxurious room. The walls were painted a soothing cream color and adorned with elegant paintings and expensive-looking decorations. A plush, velvet armchair sat near the window, and the scent of freshly cooked food wafted from a table in the center of the room.I looked down at myself and realized my tattered dress was gone. In its place was a soft, silken robe that draped over my body. Someone had changed me while I was unconscious. I started to panic.Where am I? Who brought me here?I pushed the thick blankets aside and slipped ou

The moment the sun broke over the horizon, I was dragged out of the gates of the Moonbeam Pack like a traitor. The cold morning air bit at my skin, but nothing compared to the chill inside me. I stumbled forward, my bare feet scraping against the rough ground, but I didn’t look back. What was there to see? The place I had once called home had betrayed me. My mate had rejected me, and now I was alone. “Rowena!” I snapped around the moment I heard Nathan’s voice. He had finally come to his senses. “Nathan, why did you allow them to do this to me? You’ve always known that I’m innocent, so why did you let me suffer?” I sobbed, wanting to run into his arms, but the ropes that bound my hands held me back. Not to mention, I felt very weak. “The only reason I’m letting you get exiled is because my father loved you. Otherwise, you would have gotten the death sentence! Never step foot in this pack, else, I would kill you with my bare hands!” He growled, and the mad look in his eyes ma

I stood in the corner of the courtyard, watching the pack celebrate under the silver moonlight. It should have been a special night, our first anniversary. I should have been proud and happy to be standing by Nathan’s side, but instead, I felt invisible, as I always did. Nathan hadn’t looked at me once, not since the night started. His eyes were constantly on Coral, laughing with her, leaning in to hear her every word. The sight twisted something deep inside me, but I bit my tongue and tried to ignore it. Nathan wouldn’t do me like that, right?For a year, I had lived like this. Ever since we were mated, Nathan had been distant and cold. He didn’t want me, and he didn’t bother to pretend otherwise. But his father, Alpha George, had insisted that we be joined, and Nathan had obeyed out of duty. Not love. Never love. I kept telling myself that things would change, that Nathan would see me one day, see me as more than a burden he had to carry because of his father’s dying wish. See me a
