Aveline

I have accepted a lot from the Harrington family lately, but today was a bad one, like every other day, or maybe even worse than the others.

When I secured the previous deal, I thought Draven failed to recognize my support and the role I played in doing it all because Emily had her way of putting herself in the limelight, but this time, it was clear that no matter how hard I tried, I would never get the recognition I deserve.

First, Emily took the glory upon herself and now it's Sophie. I guess it's high time I stop putting in any effort.

My deal with the family would soon be over anyway, so I guess there's no use in putting in any more effort. After all, I'd already paid all my debt to them; there was nothing left for me to do, so I just had to act like every other person.

"Good day ma'am," a man with a brown moustache greeted me immediately I walked out of the building.

"Yeah," I held the file across my chest tightly. "A good day it is."

We were some distance away, he wa

  • Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary    CHAPTER 019

    AvelineWhy would he need my help with such? There are other people who he could have called to get the job done; the maids that he employed, for example, can get it done. What Grace was thinking seemed to be quite different from what I was thinking at that moment, given what she told me. She placed her hands on my shoulder. “You see, the reason why Draven might have called you to get this errand done for him might be because he sees you as the only person who can get the work done for him.” I know Grace is trying to make me see the good sides of everything; the only thing I know that she should know is that there aren’t any good sides any longer. I just hope she can see what I am talking about and see the logical side of things from now on. “I don’t think so any longer; there are other people that could have gotten this work done for him, and there is no good side to this errand he is sending her on. No matter how hard I think about it, I just can’t see it,” Roy said. Finally! He

    Draven Draven was surprised by the way Aveline responded to him and threw questions at him. Lines appeared on his forehead as Aveline kept throwing questions at him in an angry tone. From her expression and the look in her eyes, you could tell she had gone through enough already, and she just couldn't take it anymore. It was evident in her face…in her eyes."You do not even hesitate to do something that would hurt me, and I keep asking myself what my offense was, but I can't even find one." She raised her index finger. "One!" "You are talking outside the box and it's not in a positive way," he fires back at her. "It's in a stupid and negative way.""I'm not mad because you chose someone over me but you don't have to treat me the way you do!" She pointed towards Emily. "You can do whatever you want with her, but why do you seem to treat me this bad, why?!" Draven squinted his eyes and took a step forward. His gaze was plastered on Aveline, but she did not seem to be fazed by the

    AvelineThat's dumb and very stupid of me to think that Draven might harbor even a tiny seed of feeling that has a chance of blossoming. "What more does he have to do to me for my dumb self to finally realize that there is no single atom of feeling for me inside that rock-hard heart of his?" I asked myself immediately. We entered the room where Grace wanted to restyle me."The party isn't over yet; maybe Draven is just acting out of stress and not in his right senses like he should be," Grace said just like other times, coming to his defense. "Nah, I can't take it any longer; I am too exhausted for this. Trust me when I say that I have been drained," I said to her, shaking my head slightly. My voice was filled with conviction, and slightly, you could sense tiredness in it. For the first time, I feel like Grace finally understands me; she inhaled deeply and let out a slow exhale. "I know and I understand," she said, going on with her restyling. Putting effort into making me look as

    AvelineStill staying in the bathroom with a shattered heart, shattered more into dust already, and a tear-covered face. I pulled out my phone and entered into my contact app, strolling through it. I was searching for a number—not just anyone's number, but my best friend's, Sabrina's, to be exact. I scrolled up and down endlessly searching for the number but failing to find it. I don't know why it was proving hard to do. Why can't I just find one goddamned number?! I was frustrated and pissed, I won't lie. After what was obviously a minute but had felt like an eternity, it was like my brain hadn't been working properly the past minute after hearing what Sophie had said, and it just clicked right now. I tapped on the search space in the contacts app, then inputted what I had saved Sabrina's contact with; before I even tapped the search button, her contact had already pulled up, and I just tapped on it and dialed her contact.She picked after the second ring, "What's up, Ave?" She

    Aveline.Emily fell to the floor with a loud gasp and I saw blood flow from her right shoulder. Was this how she was determined to take complete charge of Draven's heart?It's not like she does not have complete control already, but…this is beyond my expectations, and I can't help but wonder.Why did she run in the first place?! What was she trying to do?!"What happened just now?!" A woman with blonde hair screamed beside me and I shot her a deadly glance. She bent her head low. "A bullet was sent into someone's body," I spoke in a low tone and she nodded. "I'm sorry for shouting that way," she apologized and I just nodded. My gaze went to Emily again. I warned her, but she turned a blind eye; she was plotting something against me, I know that, but I never knew she could lay down her life all in the name of shredding me and Draven apart. What if she did it knowing she would survive? What if?Different questions flooded my head, and I just gasped and swallowed hard; my knee

    AvelineI looked at the phone til it stopped ringing and a hiss escaped my lips. "Why is he calling?" I poured the milk into the cornflakes and walked out of the kitchen with the plate in my hand. The sigh that escaped my lips was a relieving one and I crossed my legs after taking a spoon from the plate. My phone rang again and I tapped my forehead lightly. "What the fuck is wrong with him right now?" I picked up the call and placed it close to my ear without saying a word. "Are you there?" His voice was calm over the phone, and I just squinted my eyes. "State your reason for calling," I spoke in a rash tone. "I don't have all day.""By the way, I have somewhere I need to be," my words tumbled out in a rush. He just chuckled over the phone and I scoffed. "We need you at the office right now." Was that a command or a plea?"There are times when you pretend like I'm important Draven," I paused after calling his name and drew a long breath. "But in the end, you just put me

    AvelineI watched as Draven's mother walked past me slowly. A file was in her hand, and she shot me a deadly glance, but I just tightened my jaw. "You have been absent," she took her seat on the brown couch. "I don't need you to tell me anything apart from the main reason." My hands were folded across my chest. "Is that what we are supposed to be discussing right now?" Her thumb and index were under her chin and she stroked her beardless chin before scoffing loudly. "You can tell me what we are supposed to be discussing. I heard Draven stifling a chuckle, he controlled himself from bursting it out. "We can't discuss anything with her. I mean, she's not even in the top place, so I don't think there's a reason to discuss important issues with her." His mother smiled and flushed her hair above her shoulder and it went behind her. "Things that are not relevant will be discussed with you, Aveline Nova."For a split second, I shared a look with Draven and he seemed to enjoy watching me

    AvelineI got out of my car after stopping close to the grocery store, I slammed the door in annoyance. Three months and two days was all that was left for me in my contract with Draven.After that, I would finally smile. Several times, I had wanted to resign but it was not just possible. I was blinded by love when I signed the eight-year contract, and it was said that until your contract expire, you can't resign. I actually thought Draven would love me to this time, but it all faded out; the only thing I saw now was hate…complete hate. "Hey," I turned to see a man who seemed to be in his early thirties. His hair was yellow. My eyes squinted and I gripped my car key tightly. "Do you know me?" He seemed familiar.He shrugged. "No, but I don't think beautiful ladies like you should be lost in thoughts."I was still silent. "You can't deny that can you?" A smile widened his lips and he placed his hands inside his pockets."Well, you don't know what I was thinking about," I turned a

    AvelineMason shivered in anger as the reality of his situation dawned on him and I patted him gently at his back.It was a real heartache to lose the people you cherish more than anything. I for one, knew how that felt."Julian took them." His breath came out ragged and I could tell they were out of anger."We tried to avoid him and stay away from him. We even denied the kids civilization and he still found us." He raged."What are you going to do about it?" All I needed to do was ask. He had already made the resolve in his mind and as he shifted his gaze to me, I knew that we were fighting the Lycans together.We all stormed out of the forest. The plan was to get to Draven's pack, regroup and go to war and so we did.Luckily, none of Julian's men were outside the clan so we were able to pass through, following the bush paths.We had no means of transportation other than our legs but we were pretty fast. Maybe it was the change in the atmosphere after Mason made a new resolve and we

    DravenDraven and his team had less than 4 hours to 48 hours to give Kade what he wanted and they all agreed to go with the plan.Sabrina brought the certificate of ownership and Draven sent a text to Kade. With a picture of the certificate for proof.Kade asked Draven to bring the certificate himself without the police or anybody following him else Betty would be gotten rid of without a second thought.

    AvelineA sharp pain in my head made me force my eyes open. I'd been having lots of weird dreams that I couldn't wake up from no matter how hard I tried.It was strange since I knew that it was all a dream but it was as though someone or something was at the door between real life and dreamland, shutting the door to real life whenever I got so close and forcing me back to dreamland.The dreams were about my wolf, the first time I felt her. Which was strange. I never had a dream about V, and now I was having countless, recurring dreams about her. How we fought Sofia, for the first time. I won.How I threatened Sofia, how brave I felt having her with me, defeating Scar and becoming Alpha. And how I lost her. My days in the dungeon, the hallucinations and torture. Then back to a powerless and helpless Aveline working as a secretary, reeking of sweat and the scent of cheap roll-on that has changed to something else due to the excess work I was occupied with.The insults, humiliation and

    Mason"What is this place?" He whispered. The crystals glistened more with the lightening of the place.She did not reply to him. Typical. Instead, she walked into one of the corners of the cave where a stream sat.The stream wasn't flowing, it was more like a stale pool but it's water was so clear that Mason could see the pores on his facial skin"What is this? Why did you bring me here?' He asked, all the more confused."Tis the place my ancestors stored their valuables." She replied and went mute again.Okay, now, this was scary. "I want her to have it. This is the reason I'm still alive. They will not let me go until I do what they have instructed and they say I should give this to her." She spoke again after her silence almost killed Mason. "I have watched you, you are a good wolf. You will protect her. It's your life duty. And you will make sure she has these things." She finished. Mason's eyes fluttered, as he tried to understand what he was told."Who is she? Why did they

    Mason"Don't touch that." The healer, or witch or whatever she was called said when Mason wanted to examine a statue in her living room. The living room was used for most of her practices.It was a large room with wide corners that held tables, in some and statues in some with incense burning out from them."Uh, sorry?" Mason replied, drawing his hands back to himself. "Follow me." She bellowed and he gasped with uncertainty. She had barely spoken to him since he showed up with Aveline. She didn't even ask him what happened to her.She just tapped on the closest table and had Mason lay her on it. Ethan tried to speak but she grunted angrily and he figured it was best to let the witch do her job.After taking long hours on Aveline, the men grew tired and settled in front of her hut. They were exhausted from their long journey and it did not help as she wasn't speaking to them. She also did not need their help which had them standing there, watching her perform what was alien to them.

    Kade"W- what are you doing?" Betty asked confusion spread over her face as Kade began to bind her hands and legs."You just wait, my dear. Trust your uncle now will you?" He faked a smile and tied up the last piece of rope."Where's my mom?" She asked again, her voice shaking with each word."There are some things you don't know about your mom Betty. Your mom has done some bad things to me but it's not a problem anymore, because I have you now." Kade smiled.Betty pressed her back against the frame of the chair but it was too late to escape now. "Your mom is not here. I'm sure you've figured that out by now." Kade continued"But I plan to put you in her place. She's owing me a great deal and I don't like to be owed."Betty broke into tears. Not because she was standing in for her mom but because she disobeyed Draven. He would be all over the place looking for her."Can you call Draven, and tell him that I am safe?" She asked amidst tears of regret.Kade squinted as a smug smile cros

    DravenWithout any word from Kade for eighteen hours, Draven was scattering everything in his path. From the chairs to the papers in front of him to the walls. He had a bandage tied over his previous injury but he didn't relent. Neither did he stop punching the walls.Kade was a bastard. That was certain. He was messing with Draven's mind and eating deep into him at the same time.Handing over Aveline's company, Aveline's hard work over the years was non-negotiable even considering her absence but Betty was involved. The only heir to Aveline's company was involved. Draven felt like he was a train of bad luck. Everyone who loved him, every single person he cared about always ended up in one danger or the other.First, it was Aveline and now, Betty. Draven was about to punch the wall in anger again when his phone's notification drew his attention.It was another video from Kade and this time around, Betty was in chains. Although, the tape was still glued to her legs, separately, her

    KadeJust as he promised, he headed for his niece's school that day. It was his last opportunity to get what he wanted and have been fighting for for years.As usual, he got there in time to wait for the students to come out of their classes. And there was, Betty. His last ticket to getting what he wanted in life."Hey pretty..." he greeted but Betty changed direction and walked back towards the class.He chased after her. His niece was not out yet so he had some time with Betty before she stepped out. "Hey, hey, what is it?" He asked nervously when he caught up to her.The little girl had an unreasonable expression on her face and it made Kade all the more suspicious. "Didn't you see me waving at you? Why did you turn around? Are you not happy to see me?" Kade threw question after question, desperate for answers.But Betty just stared at him while she tried to free herself from his grasp."What is wrong huh? Did Uncle do something wrong? Why are you not talking to me?" He continued

    JulianJust like it had been for a couple of weeks, Julian continued his routine of sulking all day and distracting himself with the alcohol when a guard ran into his chambers.With a bow, he started."Team A found something deep in the forest... a pack. Of wolves. I think they are rogue wolves and they appear not to have a leader. Some of the guards are keeping a close eye on them. We reported back to you so you can tell us what next to do." Julian shifted his gaze, surprised by the information. "There is a pack in that forest?" He asked then stared into blank space."How did they manage to survive there?" He asked rhetorically, with an absent expression. "Are you certain about this?" He asked the guard who nodded frantically. "They even have cubs and young wolves. It's a decent pack but we didn't notice any leader. They all seemed to do everything together." The guard replied and Julian nodded."Bring them in if that is the case," Julian instructed."They might have seen the gir
