Aveline

I heaved a sigh when I got to the office. Certain that Draven and some people from his company would be inside already, waiting for me courtesy of the stern condition I gave them the last time.

Thinking back to it, it felt like I was a little too harsh, but one reminder about the worse he'd done to me, I shoved the guilty thoughts away.

Nodding slightly to the bows of the staff at the door, I walked past them into the hall that led to the meeting room.

Mr Kade stood at the entrance of the meeting room.

"Good day ma, trust you had a good night rest?" He asked but I could hear the impatience in his voice.

"I slept alright Kade. Are they in already?" I answered, referring to the reason behind his tension.

"Yes ma, they've been here for thirty minutes at the very least." He replied, looking worried.

"Very well then." I replied, wanting to make my way into the meeting room but he step ahead of me, stopping me in my tracks.

"Is there something wrong?" I inquired, with a firm voice

    AvelineI walked into my office and shut the door behind me. I would give Emily a taste of what she deserves; she has to know that the Aveline that disappeared three years ago is no longer the same as the one she trampled upon. After hours of working and going through files, I gently rubbed my eyes. A sigh escaped my lips, and just as I was packing the files, I heard a soft knock on my door. "Yes?" There was no response. Instead, the person just knocked again and I transferred my gaze to the door, curious.Who could that be?"Who is there?" My gaze was still plastered on the door. "It's me." That was no other person than Draven. A soft exhale escaped my lips and I pushed my hair behind me. "Come in." The doorknob turned slowly and he walked into the office with his hands behind him. "It's a nice one.""You should tell me why you came here," my voice was hoarse. "I don't have that luxury of time, my tables should tell you that."Draven wore a shocked and confused expression at my

    DravenDraven stormed out of the building, but not in anger, in defeat. He hopped into his car and slammed the door behind him. "What's the problem, sir," it was his driver. He shot him a deadly stare that made him gasp before turning to the front and he drove out of the premises. 'You made her cold and ruthless, so you are the one at fault,' his wolf spoke in a firm tone. 'Shut the fuck up!' Draven yelled in frustration and hardened his jaw. 'You don't need to lecture me!''I warned you but you were proud…too proud.' the wolf did not cease to stop talking. 'You knew she was the best person in your company, the most versatile.' Draven face fell and he folded his arms across his chest without uttering a word. "Go faster." His voice was audible. His driver's gaze moved to the rearview camera and his face became etched with worry. "Sorry, can you come again, sir?" A slight growl could be heard and his hand shivered. "I just told you to drive faster, do you need a hearing aid?" T

    DravenDraven walked into the police station with his hands in his pockets, and Sophie was at his right-hand side. She walked hurriedly towards Emily but she was stopped by one of the cops. "Get your dirty hands off me!" She yelled and forcefully hit his hand away. "Do I look like I committed a crime?"The cop just stared at her with his hands behind him."You don't even know if that so-called bitch Aveline told y'all a lie," she rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. "You just believed her all in the name of what? She's a–"Sophie was cut short when Draven slammed his fist on the wall. "Shut the fuck up, Sophie.""You don't know if I'm saying–""Like I said, just shut the fuck up," his tone was low but firm. "We are not here for this." Draven turned to the cops who had a look of satisfaction on their faces. "What does she have to do before she would be set free?" Draven's hands were across his chest. "A fine and an apology," a man with blonde hair came out from their midst and E

    AvelineI pushed my suit upward to take a look at the time and a sigh escaped my lips. "It was a few minutes past four," I promised Betty that I'd get home really early today but after looking at the files on my table, I shook my head."Another day to make it up to you, Betty," I picked up a pen and signed on a piece of paper before placing it back into its rightful place. I pressed my lips into a resolute line after I heard a knock on my door. "Who's there?" I arched an eyebrow. "The cops," I heard a deep baritone voice."You can come in," I paused. "It's not locked." The doorknob turned slowly and I saw them with Emily. She had a look of disgust on her face but I was not bothered one bit by it."She's back already," I muttered in disappointment. "I think it's too early." A cop took a step forward before placing his hands behind him. "Mr Harrington came to the station some minutes ago and he asked for the things she needed to do before she would be let out of the cell.""So has

    AvelineIn the days following, I kept Draven at arm's length, replying to his greetings curtly and referring him to my secretary whenever he asked any questions. He tried to talk to me about what happened with Emily but my dismissive attitude passed enough message and he stopped trying after a couple of days.With his company working with us, we had to be involved every step of the way.And just like Kade said, it was a good collaboration as everyone was interested in what we were cooking.We even had other big companies knocking on our door to sign a contract with them and make them our subsidiary companies.We had a good first week as the collaboration was accepted by the public but as quiet and peaceful as it seemed now, I knew that it might not be for long.Even though Emily promised the cops to stay away from me, I wasn't so sure Sofia would stay away. I saw the scornful way she looked at me and I knew that it wasn't the end of the war yet.The truth was, even if it was the end

    AvelineSofia slowly stepped out from beside my car into the yellowish light from the solar-powered street light in the compound.She held a smirk on her face."You seem startled, I just came for a friendly visit." She replied, enjoying the startled look on my face."Standing beside my car, hiding in the dark doesn't seem to me like what a friend would do," I replied, unimpressed with her words."So, I'll ask again before I call security, what are you doing here?" I asked with a hoarse tone."Trying to act fierce are you?" She chuckled and shook her head before bringing out what she'd been hiding behind her all the while.It was a rolled sheet of paper as long as a decent dagger."I'm not here for anything ugly unless that's what you choose." She said with a shrug."I knew that your return was for revenge, you probably want cash or some properties." She laughed before facing me again with a serious face."You've made your point and I get it. That's why I'm here to discuss business wit

I didn't stop until I got to the front of my house. Without turning the car off, I sat there, staring at my bloodied hands in shock and disbelief. It was as though everything that happened was a dream.'What the hell happened?' I asked my wolf who had remained quiet through it all.'Talk to me. Are you there?' I asked impatiently. I needed answers and the only way I could get answers was from V. Only she knew what happened to me.'Please!' I called out when I still got no response.'So you remember me now?' She asked with a sad tone.'I'm sorry, what happened back there?' The need to get answers to my questions prevailed over the need to feel guilty.'The tip of the iceberg of t

    DravenSophie pushed the security guard out of her way after ignoring his questions. She walked hurriedly to the door and pushed it open. As Sophie stood before him, Draven's eyes widened in horror, his mind struggling to comprehend the bloody scene unfolding before him. Blood continued to trickle down her hand, forming a small puddle on the floor, while her clothes were splattered with crimson stains, a stark testament to the brutality she had endured.Sophie's face was partially covered by her hand, which she held pressed against her cheek as if attempting to stop the flow of blood or reduce the pain. Her groans were low and anguished, a heart-wrenching expression of the suffering she was experiencing.Draven's voice trembled with shock as he stuttered, "W-what...what happened?" His gaze remained fixed on Sophie, his eyes scanning her battered form, taking in the severity of her injuries. As he stumbled backward, his eyes locked onto the claw marks etched into her face, a knowin

    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

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
