Draven

Sophie 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

    DravenDraven placed Sophie on the couch and a sigh escaped his lips. "How is Aveline capable of doing this?" He rose to his feet and walked out of the sitting room with a concerned look. He got to a room where he brought out a first aid kit, and then he made it back to the sitting room. Slowly and gently, he cleaned the blood on her face and her hand before applying ointment and he bandaged it. "Your wolf must be weak so I guess it'll be faster with this," his gaze was on the med kit that was now arranged properly again. He took Sophie in his hands and made for her room before kicking the door open."Where am I?" Sophie's eyes opened slowly and her tone was low. "You're still home okay?" He dropped her on the bed and flipped the switch. "All you need is just rest and your wounds will be healed." Without waiting for a response, he shut the door behind him and made for the sitting room with worry etched on his face. "Aveline did that to her?" His hands were in his pockets and a

    DravenHe lifted his up and his gaze was fixed on them again, the way they played, the way they laughed. "I guess he is a great father," he muttered in defeat. 'Well, you had the chance to be one but guess what? You fucked up that chance because of your pride.' he heard his wolf's voice again and he gritted his teeth in anger. 'And where has that gotten you? Nowhere of ourse.' He gave no response, instead he just kept staring at the family that were laughing and playing. 'You know I'm telling you the truth don't you?' 'Okay, I know. I know you are telling me the truth so can you shut the fuck up now? Please.' A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he heard nothing from his wolf. He slowly walked towards the family with his hands in his pockets. Hi." Aveline turned to him. Not in shock but in hate and he pressed his lips when he saw the look on her face. Her forehead knitted and a grim expression was visible on her face, he was about to turn when he felt a warm hand grab his

    AvelineI shot Draven a deadly stare whenever our eyes met and I'm pretty sure that was the reason why he stopped looking at me."Wow, I'm out in the first round," I heard Kade's voice. "I guess I met my superior already." "You are right," Betty replied to him but Draven's gaze was fixed on the game. It's not like I wanted him to look at me anyway. Had it been it was three years ago, I guess I would have blushed every time he looked at me, but now… it's useless. Fucking useless!!!Betty and Draven placed their hand under their chins as they were completely into the game like they were gonna be given an award worth millions of dollars. "You're a tough opponent," Draven whispered to Betty who just chuckled. Whenever they looked at one another, my heart skips. It won't be long before he notices the things Betty has in common with him, and I just wish they would play the game and not keep on looking at one another.How would Betty react when she finds out that bastard is her father?H

    AvelineDraven came close to me and I only felt agitated. "Did you?" His hands were in his pockets.A scoff escaped my lips and I concentrated fully on the children that were playing in the pack. We were supposed to have a family also, but he ruined it…and he ruined it completely, and now he thinks some cheap talks are gonna make me come back to him?That is not gonna happen, it won't."You know it's a question of yes or no," his deep voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "It should not be a big deal to you." "What if it is?" I snapped at him angrily and the shock on his face was visible to me."What if I don't wanna respond to that question?" He seemed to be processing what was going on at the moment but I just averted my gaze from him. I was less concerned with whatever he was doing. "I know I've asked you this before," he hesitated and leaned on the iron. "Something changed about you Aveline, we both know you can't deny that."'"You changed all of a sudden and I still don't underst

    Aveline"Are you done with your breakfast?" I packed my hair behind me as I got into the dining room, where I saw Betty putting her plates aside."Oh! I see you're done." My words were barely above a whisper and Betty just nodded in affirmation before rising to her feet. "So umm…you would be going with Claire now; the driver is outside, too." "Okay, Mom," she gave me a warm hug, and I bent low before kissing her on the forehead. "Bye ""Bye." I picked up the car key from the shelf before shutting the door behind me. I glanced at my wristwatch and a sigh escaped my lips. It's been some minutes since Betty left. Without wasting time, I hopped into the car and drove off; I had already promised Betty that I wouldn't be late, so all I had to do was just get to work early and do whatever I wanna do. After some minute's drive, I got to the office, and just like every other day, the workers kept bowing as a sign of greeting, and on the other hand, I waved towards them with a bright smil

    AvelineI walked through and fro in the company with my hands on my waist. I was cleaning my face from time to time. "Oh God!" I groaned in pain. The thought of losing everything I built in three years alone is killing me already. What if it all goes down? What if Nova Empire collapsed? Emily, Sophie, Draven's mother. They would mock me till the day I go six feet under the ground. How could I let that happen? How? I mean, this shit is going on, and not even one of these computer experts or IT professionals can fix the problem.I heard approaching footsteps, and I rose to my feet after groaning. It was my secretary. "What? Any good news?" I held her hand immediately she stopped.She knew how broken I was, it would be very easy for anyone to know. Felicia nodded her head. "No ma, no sign of progress." "Call the head of the computer team," I took some steps backward. "Do that now!" "There was something—""I thought I told you to do something right now!" I yelled and I saw her je

    Aveline"What is he doing here?" I turned to the guard that was behind him. I had wiped the tears off earlier on immediately I knew it was Draven."I'm sorry ma, but he said he can help us." the guard's voice echoed in the room. "I can take him back if you want ma." Draven leaned on the wall with his right side; his eyes were fixed on me. "Six minutes and twenty-one seconds until the complete shutdown." Kade's gaze was still on his wrist. "God! Like what is your business here?!" I had started to take out my anger on Draven when I felt a hand touch me. It was Kade, and I turned to him with an evil glint in my eyes. "I am serious here Kade," I hardened my jaw. "Like he does not even know what he's going to do," I motioned towards Draven who was still maintaining his position. I walked up to him with a frown on my face. "Now tell me, what did you come here for?" He stood up properly and a light chuckle that provoked me more escaped his lips. "Aren't you in need of someone who wou

    AvelineWith the last straw of hope I could muster, I folded my hands across my chest and bit my lips anxiously. Draven had only but a few minutes to get down what a handful of professionals couldn't do. I didn't know if feeling hopeful was the best thing to do or if giving in to defeat would make the pain less painful. Looking at the other staff, I could see just how tensed and anxious they were as well. It was one thing to find and be able to log into the server and tackle whatever it was that was doing the damage and it was another thing not to have access to the server."Any luck?" I whispered a question to Kade who was pacing around the room. Equally tensed.He spread his hands raised to his shoulders to tell me that he had no idea as well.With the few minutes left, it was best to give Draven some alone time to focus on what he was doing; if he could do it."I'm in!" Draven's hoarse voice called out. Making Kade and I widen our eyes in unison. 'Was he playing some kind of game

    Aveline."Why is the car driving towards us? And with that amount of speed?" Sabrina asked, wide-eyed and alarmed. "Hold tight," I instructed and turned the steering wheel to change the direction of the tires so the moment I stepped on the accelerator, my car escaped the oncoming car by a little shift. They could've run into us if I hadn't acted fast. I stared at my rearview mirror to observe the white van that was behind us and noticed that the engine was still on and it was still coming for us.I sped off with hopes of losing the car but another one came from one of the bushes in front."Shit!" I cursed but didn't take my legs off the accelerator."Were they trying to kidnap us right now? Or was this Kade's doings? It had to be placed since we couldn't place a finger at what or who exactly was behind it.If I was the only one, I could've let them take me but I had my family with me and I wasn't about to let any of them get hurt. Not on my watch."The car doesn't seem to be stoppin

    AvelineIt's been four days since Draven told me about what he saw and what he thinks might happen and even though Sabrina thinks we should go to Draven's pack and stay under his watch, I don't think I'm ready yet to go there.Not when Betty is involved. I could go alone or even bear taking Sabrina with me but with Betty coming along, it's a different ball game.The last years I spent there were hell to me and the memory still haunts me after years. I wouldn't want Betty to experience the slightest toxicity. "What do you think about this dress huh? You'd slay in it I'm sure. Necks would turn to you if you go in this." Sabrina was at one of her talks to try to convince me to move to Draven's park."I told you before already, I'm not going to let Betty go through what I went through.""Who said she's going to go through that? Besides, Draven's now on your side and so is Sofia." She protests."What if Sofia's just pretending to get me on good notes with her? What if Draven's in on it wi

    Aveline Hours after Betty's birthday, I was sitting in my garden under a shade, alongside Sabrina. Betty had gone to school, the maids had come over to clean and cook, and they had all been dismissed; their services wouldn't be needed throughout today.The only service that would be needed is that of the guards who were at the gate. They had been there ever since the day that the news got released, with no dismissal for them. With Kade out there, my life was still in danger; he had threatened me. I need all the security and protection that I can get for as long as I can. “What's up with you? You have been lost in thought for quite a while now,” Sabrina said after tapping me to get my attention. “Really?” I questioned with a slightly stunned expression on my face; the question was a genuine one, though. Truthfully, I had no idea that I had been lost in thought, not until Sabrina tapped me.“Yeah. So, are you going to share what it is that is troubling you?” she questioned.“Obvious

    DravenI told Aveline to go inside with Betty while I spoke with Kade and her eyes communicated how grateful she was for my intervention. She must've been so scared to see Kade here after their fight and it pissed me off to see the negative effect he had on her.Things are different now that I have another chance with her and I will not allow another man to threaten Aveline or her child. I couldn't protect them before and I am going to do everything in my power to protect them now."Go on and play in the swing section." Kade dismissed his niece with a soothing smile before pocketing his hands and shifting his attention to me."What the fuck are you doing here Kade?" I began, my expression stiff and unimpressive. "What do you think? I'm here for my niece's best friend's birthday party." He says with a nonchalant smile. "Cut the crap, I know that's not why you're here. And I know that you're being that stunt in there." My voice became raspy as my anger grew."Did something happen in

    AvelineI make a swift glance behind Draven to see two serving carts rolling towards us, one was empty while the other was packed with plates and utensils with food in them.The guests were screaming and running out of the way. From the look of things, the carts collided with force and were coming our way. For some reason, I couldn't seem to move. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground. I looked at Draven's face which held a frown.The logical thing to do was to move out of the way but I couldn't -- we couldn't. It was as if we were being controlled by some remote."What's going on?" Draven blurts out and I know that it was as I thought. We both couldn't move.Something with the force of a magnet was pinning us to the ground.The carts roll in so close I think we're going to be run over but just then, strong hands and bodies push us to the side and fall over us."What the fuck was that?" Sofia asked after the carts rolled past us."I don't know." Getting on my feet was strai

    Aveline. The day for Betty’s birthday finally arrived after what seemed like a really slow week. A lot of people were invited, and it was hosted in my house. The people that showed their face here were more than the ones that I had invited; some of them were Betty’s friends. I walked around to make sure that everything was in order just before the party started; it was less than an hour away from starting. There was a knock on the door. I watched Sabrina walk up to the door to open it. I didn’t bother turning back to stare at who it was; instead, I continued with my search. The person who knocked might just be someone I had invited or maybe one of the friends Betty had made in her class. “Aveline,” a familiar voice called, causing me to turn back with a smile on my face, one that stretched with a little bit of surprise. Immediately, I saw what she was holding. “Where’s your little girl? I have something to present to her myself,” she said, raising the box of cupcakes in her han

    Draven. “Ok then, that would be all for now,” Draven said over the phone to someone who was on the other end of the line. He listened to the person’s reply, pulled the phone away from his ear, and slipped his phone into his pocket. Staring at the view of the city through his floor-to-ceiling window, he spaced out, remembering how the past few days had been. Aveline’s pack members' attack on his pack has finally been halted, and the peace has finally returned, all thanks to Aveline. She had also been the one to deal with the issue that had been trending on the internet, though she had been the one benefitting negatively from it, while it had only had a little impact against him. At that moment, the emotion occupying his heart was that of sadness, due to the fact that he was unable to help at all the past few days. That act was so unlike him; he was known well for always helping out in times like this and also coming up with solutions. The look in his eyes suddenly lit up; immedi

    AvelineI cocked my head to the side with a raised smile and an amused expression on my face."Say what now?" I asked even though I heard her clearly.And she must've known and chosen to ignore or was just oblivious to the fact that she acted very strangely."I said I want a truce, between us." She repeated. Her face is straight.She must've been touched since I accepted to help her pack. Her beef with me was unreasonable. She should've known from the start but I do not tell her that and I certainly do not trust her call for a truce.We've been enemies for too long I'd gotten used to seeing her like one.However, it must've taken everything in her to approach me for a truce and blocking her out might not be the best thing to do since it's better to keep the enemies closer."My daughter's birthday dinner party is this weekend. Come if you're not busy." I said with a smile.There, I can watch her closely and find out if she has an ulterior motive. I expected her to frown and snap at me

    Aveline. Immediately after I walked out of the house, I let out a long exhale to calm my raging nerves. I ignited the engine, and at the same time, connected my phone with my car and was about to place a call across to the huge guy I had fought in my pack to convince the remaining pack members. Mason. That was his name; I had learned it from him after the fight, which had been obviously humiliating to him.Just as I was about to dial the number, I decided against it and just decided to play music instead.I was really trying to avoid anything that would get me more pissed than I was.‘You will need to get your emotions in check before you do something that you might regret out of anger,’ V said in my mind with her usual calm tone.‘I am really trying to get them in check, but the words that Sofia said keep repeating in my head, and that is the exact thing keeping me pissed.’ I replied to her, my face tensed, forming a frown. ‘Think of something else, then,’ V replied and fell in
