I was no fan of Emily especially after her display in the office the previous day yet I listened to whatever she had to say hoping it was good and Draven was coming soon but that was where I had got it completely wrong.

"What do you want Emily?" I asked folding my hand across my chest in a defensive stance.

"You sent a message to Draven didn't you?" She smirked as she walked in and shut the door properly behind her  

"And whatever message I sent has nothing to do with you either. " I was really irritated by her guts.

"I don't think Draven shares the same thought as you else he wouldn't have sent me here to talk to you in his stead." 

"What? Draven sent you here to meet and talk with me instead?" I was shocked. 

"Oh Aveline, what really do you expect from him?" She blinked like a cute puppy. 

"Draven sent me here because he does not want to have anything to do with you or your bastard baby." Her words hit me hard.

My child was no bastard.

"He can't," I stammered because I saw him read the text from where I stood and now Emily had the exact details of my text and was standing in the exact room I had asked Draven to meet me in

"He cant?" Emily laughed like a maniac. 

"Don't act dumb, Draven sent me here with just one message and I'll tell it to you." She said increasing my curiosity. 

"And that would be?" I should never have asked in the first place.

"He wants you to get an abortion and he thought I would best communicate it to you for your sanity sake. It hurts less this way." 

I took two steps back as my knees buckled, "Did he say that to you?" I asked in a small voice before sitting on the bed that stopped me from taking more steps back.

I knew Draven had suddenly turned cold and cruel but to kill his own child?...

"Oh Aveline, you are so naive," I saw the devil grin and the glint in her eyes were unmistakable. 

"Draven and I would be mated soon and I will be Luna of the pack. I don't think he wants a stain on that identity at all." She said pinning me down with a stare.

What was i thinking, that Draven would accept me insteasd of his mate simply because I became pregnant?

Damn Aveline, he told you your place already yet you had to foolishly tell him about the baby, now you have to lick your wounds yourself. I scolded myself. 

"Are you listening to me?" Emily was still talking but I already zoned out. My heart continuously shattered at the thought that Draven would kill his own child.

"I will not abort my child," I didn't care what she thought about my decisions but I said it all the same.

"Fine, you do you. I was only sent to remind you that—" she shrugged and was interrupted by the ring of her phone, she smiled at the caller ID.

"Yes baby, I'm done here already. I made it clear to her too." She finished her call.

"See you later, my mate is waiting for me. She swayed her hips as she left me to my demise in the ward.

My world came crashing again. The room was spinning and my mind was blank.

All I could think of was the time I had wasted loving and trusting Draven because it was all a waste, it meant nothing to him, he had no place in his life for me or my child.

No! Something wasn't just right. I pulled myself together remembering the doctor's warning about my emotional and mental state for my child's sake.

I got on my feet and decided to hear Draven say it to my face so I hurried out and caught them in the hall way.

"Draven," I called out to him and he was decent enough to stop and turn.

"What is it?" His brows furrowed ina frown and his eyes were cold and distant. I shook my head unbelieving of who stood before me.

He was a complete stranger.

"I want to speak with you," I managed to say, I Knew it would break me to hear it from him but I wanted to know.

"Oh baby, please can you take me home right way." Emily clung to him like a rag doll and batted her lashes "I don't feel too well." She pouted.

"Sure," he smiled at her but when he turned to me, his expression was sour again.

"You can take of yourself Aveline, I have better things to attend to, you don't need me to spell out what you should do, do you?" He glared at me and I understood his communication and nodded.

"Good girl," he picked Emily up in bridal style and carried her away to his car.

My throat felt patched as I walked back to the car, "take me home please," I told the driver before completely breaking down in tears.

I felt my whole body quake as I sobbed but I managed to get off the vehicle and drag myself to my porch, that was when I felt the sharp pain in my stomach. 

"No!" I immediately wrapped my arms around my body as if to keep my baby safe but the pain was excruciating along side the howling of my wolf in my head.

What have I done, the pain in my heart was still stinging so I couldn't control my emotions either, I felt warm liquid trickle down my legs and when I looked down it was blood.

The life that I was so proud of was slipping away before my eyes all thanks to Draven. His wish had come through. 

I fiddled with my phone as my vision blurred from the bleeding and managed to call someone. 

"Help me," was all I could manage before Vel my wolf howled again and everything went blank.

    I blinked back the excess sunlight and shielded my eyes with my hand when I regained consciousness. My head hurt slightly but I was alive."Damn it girl," a familiar voice filled with concern rang through my ears before I could catch a glimpse of the company around me."Hi," I muttered the words as I struggled to my sit upright. "Hey, be careful." Sabrina my best friend helped me to a sitting position. "What do you think you are doing to yourself?" I saw the lines of worry on her forehead as she squeezed my arm gently. I didn't need a lecture, I wanted to know what happened to me."What happened?" I asked in the loudest tone I could but it still came out a whisper. The sadness in her eyes fueled my curiosity, "Brina, where..." she shook her head and I trailed off.If not anyone I had surely informed Sabrina about my pregnancy. "I didn't lose it right?" I asked still hopeful."I'm sorry baby girl but I couldn't get here fast enough after your call and I met you in a really bad stat

    DravenDraven arched an eyebrow when Aveline snapped back at him with her words.He rose from his chair and placed his hands on the table. His broad shoulders were very visible, and his hair bounced upward, leaving the few strands just at the front of his innocent blue eyes that could capture one's heart with just a glance.His facial appearance was one to speak about also, but at this point, he was angry rather than confused. Aveline was still standing when he stood properly. "What did you think you are trying to do?" His deep baritone filled the room but Aveline was not fazed by it. Instead, she just shrugged. "I told you already, I'm packing my things," she heaved a deep sigh and opened her eyes. "I would be out of this place in an hour."Two lines appeared on Draven's face as he stared deeper into Aveline's eyes. "We both know you are doing this to make me beg you." "Ain't I saying the truth?" He added. A deep scoff escaped Aveline's throat. "I need nothing from you, Draven; I

    Aveline I walked out of the office slowly, I had made up my mind already, I could not turn back on my words. Emily was deceiving herself if she thinks I was hurt by the stupidity she portrayed in there, I knew Draven had given up on me and he sees me as a whore who just satisfy his sexual urge, it was painful but I just had to accept it.Different thoughts of what to do after I leave this place kept flooding in my head and it just kept fading away and I saw more of it as a bad option.Was Draven was right about what he said?Maybe I can't survive outside his territory, is he the reason why I had been surviving all this time?No, no way!!!The seven years that I spent here with Draven was more of a living hell so I don't think I would be fazed by the world outside this place. I would survive!!!It felt like my heart was squeezed as I turned away each day I keep telling myself that it's fine, that I would be fine even though I know things are not okay."Where did you think you are goi

    Aveline Immediately I got to the hospital, and I rushed off to where the doctor that had called me was. I pushed open the ward door, hoping that what the doctor had said would turn out to be false, even though I knew that the chance of that happening was extremely low. I met the doctor standing close to the bed with what seemed to be nothing other than a stethoscope around his neck with his back turned towards me. I walked slowly, my feet feeling too heavy to raise, so I had to drag them across the floor, my facial expression betraying my emotion in that instant immediately after I laid my eyes on the figure that lay on the bed that the doctor was standing really close to and was covered from head to toe. The doctor turned to stare at me with a saddened expression plastered on his face; that same emotion could be noticed in his voice when he spoke to me. “I am sorry for your loss, Miss Aveline; she died not too long ago,” he said to me and clasped his hand on my shoulder. I tight

    Aveline I sat at a country club among the company of the most loving couple I have ever laid eyes on, Grace and Roy. They are the perfect definition of what I had always wanted my relationship with my mate, Draven, to be. We could have worked towards it and made it perfect. Their relationship is almost what every young lady who had laid her eyes on them wants her own to be like also. They were obviously a couple filled with love who were also mates; their combination was really a match handpicked by the moon goddess herself, while mine was no doubt handpicked by the devil himself instead. I had woken up this morning for the first time in a long while jobless; there was nothing to do, and I was all alone in my home. I could not visit Sabrina in her own home due to the fact that she was far away from home, a thousand miles apart, in another country, engaging in a business matter. Staying alone at home was not an option I was even going to consider at all. If I had stayed at home, th

    Aveline Days had slowly turned to weeks and I was yet to find a job. I was qualified for each and every one of them, but Draven just kept getting in the way; he was the only thing that was making me jobless until now.They all kept rejecting me since they failed to see a reference from my former boss, which was Draven; some of the companies I went to even rejected me immediately after I failed to provide a reference from my former boss.I knew that things would be bad but I never knew it would be this bad…or was he doing this on purpose for me to return to him?If that's the case, then it's a big lie, I'm returning nowhere.I'd rather die while looking for a job than return to anything that has to do with him, it was more than a living hell. No one would wish for that kinda life but I just had to put up with it. "What the fuck did he think he's gonna gain from doing this?" I spoke for the first time since I got out of the last company that rejected me. "It should not be difficu

    Aveline The constant ticking of the clock had probably woke me up, I was not far gone in sleep actually. I was always thinking about how things were, and it was not even a thing to laugh over. After all, it seems like Draven was right. I don't think I'd be able to get a job without his signature.It's been three bloody whole weeks since I got out from Draven's company and I was yet to secure a job. Lots and lots of jobs were available, huge jobs but Draven was just a pain in the ass. "Damn!" My eyes went wide immediately and I remembered I was supposed to be somewhere today. Well, it might just end up like the rest. They would definitely ask for the same thing again which is the letter, so I guess it'd be great if I just sit here and save my strength. No. No one knows what might happen. I looked up at the wall clock, the time was just six minutes to eight and I needed to be there before nine.I undressed and walked towards the bathroom, the water was cold but soothing, as I s

    Aveline There his mom was, seated on one of the two visitor's chairs placed opposite the one that Draven usually sits on. The only thing that separates them is the expensive glass table. I looked past Draven, who was standing in front of me with his palm open and outstretched, like he was waiting for me to place my hands on them, to stare at his mother. If this asshole thinks that I am going to do his bidding just because I came back, then he is gravely mistaken. I just need to complete this deal that I had already started with a huge business company. It was a huge deal that this company actually needs, so it can be my parting gift with them. "What is wrong with you?" Draven's mom stared at me with a slightly pissed expression. Wait!Hold on a minute here; I don't think we are getting the situation clearly. Who is supposed to be pissed here?There is no way she is the one that's supposed to piss; I did nothing wrong to make her pissed, but the same can't be said for her son and

    MasonThe night was short but Mason was used to it by now -- going for missions. He took this one like another hunting mission and that was the only way he was able to remain calm even though Leemah still tried to advise him against it twice."All set? Now we have to find a way to carry her without letting it weigh on us so much." Ethan stated the obvious as the two men met outside the pack at dawn."I think Leemah has that covered," Mason replied and Ethan nodded with a pout.They went to the room where Aveline lay and just like Mason said, Leemah got it covered.She made a flatbed with wood and fur on both sides. It had leather stripes for easy carriage."How does this work?" Ethan asked, visibly confused."You strap it to your back, she lays on the other side. These fur ropes are also to strap her tight on the other side while the other helps you carry her."Let's try it out." Mason turned his back, ready for the strap to be tied to his arms, chest and lower back.When it was all d

    MasonIt's been two days since Aveline collapsed and she was getting pale by the day."Are you sure the book didn't cast a spell on her? What if it was a curse?" Mason asked Leemah who tapped her cane on the floor of the room without saying anything."I'm not an expert with her kind but I know who can help." She stated and it made Mason all the more interested. He had not known Aveline for the longest but he knew that she had a family waiting for her back at home and she had unfinished business with his enemy. If he couldn't get revenge, the woman believed she lived to get revenge on the people who had hurt her and as much as he didn't want to endanger his pack members or get into trouble himself, he also wanted revenge.If he was going to get it from someone else, he had to ensure she remained alive at least."Give me the address." He replied with urgency in his tone."It is risky, too risky. The place is located in the mountains. You might not make it." Leemah replied. She didn't w

    DravenSince Sabrina returned and told Draven a piece of her mind, he had lost the little sleep he usually manages to catch during the day and was roaming about, looking for the best way to organize a search party for Aveline without being seen or caught by the Lycans and wild beasts in the forest."Julian's men are also on the lookout for her. That means she is not in the pack. She truly escaped like the slave girl said. We need to trade carefully so we don't fall into their hands." Draven's spy informed Draven who nodded absent-mindedly.He wondered why it was so hard to get Aveline back. Every time they wanted to go get her back, there was always something new coming up to prevent them from reaching her.She had been gone for long, and Draven doubted if she still looked like she did before she left. Hell, he had no idea if she was still in one piece."Is there no way we can explore the forest at a certain time and leave before they begin their search?" Draven asked."If... I know s

    AvelineIt felt surreal even after the hours that went by that I took down a Jaguar by myself and with one blow.Leemah sat beside me all the while but she was not amazed by what I did, it was almost like she expected me to do it and it got me even more confused."What happened?" Mason asked running into the study room where Leemah and I sat dumbfounded. The Jaguar spoils were outside in the pack compound and I was certain he had seen them before running to meet us."Speak of the devil." Leemah hissed."I told you going hunting with all the able men was a bad idea but you insisted." Leemah rolled her eyes at him."I know, you were right but that is the only way to have a real fight and access the men." Mason tried to explain but Leemah would hear none of it."I still think it is a dumb move. Did you see what we had to face while you were gone, lying outside?" She asked, referring to the dead Jaguar. "About that... who took it down? It looked shattered from the inside. The men examin

    JulianHe had sent out some of his men to search for Aveline in the forest but they returned with no news.Hell, he did not even know why he cared about Aveline or her whereabouts. It was not something he would normally do but thinking about the next shareholders meeting taking place in Aveline's company, he knew he had to find her no matter what.Sabrina hated him already for agreeing to a deal with Kade and keeping her friend hostage. She would go ghost mode on him when she finds out that her friend is no longer in his clan and is nowhere to be seen."Hello, Beatrice." Julian started when the line connected. "Just calling to get info from your own end," Julian replied after Beatrice said some words from the other end."I see. Does she know about it yet?" Julian asked "Okay. Let it remain that way. Update me on any further happenings Beatrice." Julian ended the call before the woman could say any more words.She had often called his attention to the way he asked after Sabrina and s

    AvelineThe training took its toll on me. Even though it was just throwing punches and blocking them, my body ached from the movements and Mason was not just any opponent.He was a skilled opponent who had overcome a lot of enemies and had learned to be quick over the years so his punches were fast and I had to be fast enough to dodge them. I tried being fast but I still earned a lot of punches, especially on the first and second day. But on the third day, I started getting a hang of it and I tried to keep his pace too.That day was however the fourth day and Mason was nowhere to be seen. I was out at the usual training time and I have gone round the pack but I haven't sighted him anywhere."Excuse me, do you know where I can find Mason?" I asked one of the females I found around the pack."Oh, he went for his hunt with most of the males in the pack. They will be back towards nightfall." She replied with a welcoming smile."Thank you." I walked away from her while I thought about what

    Julian Julian was not the happiest that he had to return from his trip but he had no option since he got the news from his trusted warrior that Kade was turning the clan upside down.He led with rage and foolishness. Although Julian could easily control Kade, he still wanted to watch him for some time and let him go too deep into his rage and make a mistake that he would not be able to recover from. Only on those grounds would he break their deal and have his men deal with Kade. But for now, all he could do was watch."Welcome back boss." His closest warrior greeted him when he walked into the clan."Where is he?" Julian asked as he strolled in."He is in the meeting hall." The warrior replied."I see." Julian nodded and headed to the meeting hall.Julian stopped some meters away from the hall and he heard Kade yelling at his warriors for being so incompetent and even useless."He has been on and on like that ever since Aveline escaped." The warrior informed Julian and Julian looke

    AvelineMy eyes blinked open and I saw myself in the same room I woke up from the first day but this time around, I was not alone. Leemah sat beside me and she grinded some herbs so quietly. She stopped when she noticed my movement."You are finally awake." She greeted and squeezed the herb's liquid into a cup."How long was I out for?" I asked with a wince."You slept for two nights. I told you you needed to rest but you insisted on walking around now look where that got you." She pouted and brought a cup to my mouth."Drink up. It will help you with strength." She added and I gulped down the contents of the cup. I was used to taking different herbs by now.I sat up after drinking the liquid from the herbs, trying to remember how I got there in the first place before it struck me."The book..." I muttered to myself but Leemah heard me and she pressed her lips tightly. She had been waiting for us to have the conversation."Yeah. The book. What happened back there?" She asked with a s

    Draven "How do you expect me to calm down when I don't know where she went to? How can you stand there and tell me that she will find her way home when all we can see around the clan are forests?" It had been a few days since Draven returned to his pack and awaited Aveline's return and he was no longer having it."All I am saying is you should calm down, you would not be able to make the right decision if you go on like that," Brian replied. He was the only one who could speak to Draven while he raved."What has being calm done for me these past days?" Draven's voice reverberated across the walls of the hall.Angel was seated on one of the seats and Scar in another.The she-wolf had no more ideas left. Aveline was her last hope and not seeing her by this time could mean that she did not make it. And the thought alone broke her. All the risk she took for her sake would be in vain."The slimy slave girl must have lied to you all." Beatrice's voice started from the door and everyone shi
