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

  • Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary    CHAPTER 055

    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

    AvelineThe only thoughts that refused to leave my mind even after getting back home that day were the thoughts of my date with Draven. We never went on a date, not when I was his plaything, not when I was working my butt off for his company. Not never in eight whole years.I scanned through my wardrobe in search of something to wear for the date. A part of me wanted to look hot and sexy, to remind him of what he lost when he chose Emily over me while another part of me wanted to dress tattered, just enough to make him repulsive and not want to have anything to do with me.After all the years I'd spent suffering under his cruel authority, I didn't want to have any link to him for whatever reason."Urgh!" I groaned in frustration and slumped into the bed one more time.He didn't deserve to have me dress up for him. Hell, he didn't even deserve my presence. I was going to wear whatever.After my resolution, I slowly drifted to sleep.The only thing that succeeded in waking me up wa

    Aveline I felt a lump in my throat as our eyes met. Different thoughts started flooding my mind.Was this date planned by Draven and his sister? Maybe he brought me here to put me on the spot, even more, humiliate me.Even with the thoughts churning within me, I didn't look away, I didn't break our gaze and just held it, scrutinizing every move she made."Did you hear me?" Draven's tone reduced at the end of the sentence and I figured he'd traced my gaze to Sofia."What is she doing here?" He asked, in wonder. "Of all places to be by this time, she chose to be here now." His words came out in a grunt.I didn't reply or shift my gaze from my rival's face. I wanted to be prepared for whatever move she had up her sleeves.Her expressionless face that had been pinned on me finally shifted to the male figure seated beside me and her expressionless face lit up with surprise mixed with confusion.She was probably wondering what her brother was doing with me.Draven got up immediately and h

    AvelineMy second Date with Draven made me smile a lotta times, and I hated myself for it. I could not believe that Bastard made me smile. "Urgh!" I buried my face in the bed and kept on passing the frustration to the bed by hitting it multiple times. He caught me off guard, yeah. That's definitely what happened. I'm pretty sure about that. 'Well, I'm not sure that's what happened,' V was back to haunt me again. She has been toying with my mind ever since I came back from our second date about two days ago. There was nothing to talk about from the first one since Sophie acted as an obstacle, it was evident in the eyes of Draven. Draven picked the beach intentionally but his reasons were unknown to me. 'I still can't believe you smiled in those photos you took with him,' she was speaking in her sarcastic tone again and I could not help but hit the bed harder. 'All you should make him see is your bad side…your ruthless side.'V never understood that I tried to show him the coldest

    AvelineAt the question, I choked on the water I drank causing me to cough vehemently. 'Oh goddess, what did I get myself into?' I cursed my luck underneath my breath. I was short of words when our gaze met, "Are you okay?" Draven asked concerned but the cough was the least of my problems so I managed a nod. I expected all questions but not that.'Was this the time to tell him the truth?' I thought to myself 'Or should I wave it aside again?'I knew I was fucked either way.What was I supposed to say? At that moment, it felt like I was spinning in a circle. I tried to find the right words, but it was not just coming forth that I felt like pulling at my hair. I was about to wave it aside when I saw the pleading look in his eyes, the look of desperation was written all over his face and waving that question aside would only make him ask it some other time. 'Don't tell me you plan on telling him, Ave!' V yelled my name louder than she had ever done, and I clung to my gown like it w

    AvelineI knew that something would lead to this since I stepped into this place but it faded earlier on. So how did he bring that up again?There was no way Sophie would not tell him about what happened the other night. Or maybe he saw in a messed up situation. I hated to admit it though, but he tried by keeping it to himself that long. It's not like he could do anything other than question me, actually, and here we are. "Aveline?" My eyes widened in shock immediately he called me out of the blue. "Yeah?" He stared into my eyes like he was waiting for the silence to speak for itself. I was not ready to tell him about it so I was fine with the way he kept staring at me. Although, it had started to make me feel like I had a hostile reception. Draven picked up his cup and took a sip from it before setting his eyes on me again."I asked a question," his lips compressed into a thin line. "These questions," I mulled over my options. "These questions, why do you keep asking them?" A

    Draven Two weeks later.Draven lay on the bed in his chambers, Aveline sat beside him, her hands interlocked in his as they stared into each other's faces.The storm was over at last. Julian had showed up the day Aveline defeated Kade and he came with a surprise. Beatrice and Emily. Hands chained and beaten.Beatrice was the leak in Draven's pack and Emily worked with her.Aveline expected Draven to be heartbroken and soft towards his mother but he banished her and locked Emily up in the pack's dungeon for breaking the rule of banishment showing her face countless times and also involving in treacherous acts against him.Julian went to Draven's pack with a bouquet in his hand, in front of the bewildered pack members, he went on his knees to confess his love for Sabrina. The Lycan king! His display of love and affection made it hard for Sabrina to refuse him and the two got the blessings of Aveline and Draven. Julian explained his involvement with Kade and Beatrice and how he no lo

    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. Draven told his team not to follow him but they did anyway, they trailed him with another car. Brian and Scar could not take chances. This gold also be another of Kade's perfect plans to add Draven to the kidnap list and they were not going to let the Alpha out of their sight.Draven drove to the address Kade gave him with urgency and he had lost his way a couple of times as he followed the bushy path to the location Kade gave him.He got there alas and walked into the compound of the only building surrounded by the forest and Kade walked out of it just in time to meet up with him out

    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
