Aveline

As Kade searched my eyes for an answer, I continuously shut them at intervals. "Do you know how long I've known Sabrina?" He shook his head.

"You keep–" I was happy when the door knob twisted until I saw Beatrice walking in with this usual smile on her face. Was she planning this?! Why does she always have to see Kade and me this close each time she comes here?

This time, Kade was just as pissed as I was. The only person that was smiling in this room was Beatrice, it was a testament that her plan was working. An evidence that she was progressing.

'It was not something to get all happy about since it won't be lasting.' I thought to myself as I turned to her.

"You made a very big move so I guess you bought yourself the chance to come here." I moved some steps away from Kade.

"There was nothing you were going to do had it been I made no step." One thing I admired about Beatrice was her self-confidence. Amongst everything about her, that was the one thing I could not deny.

    AvelineYesterday was a very long day. Betty was asleep the time I got home, the same goes for Sabrina and I felt guilty for coming home at that time of the day.Claire was not around at the moment so Sabrina was the one that had to do everything for Betty, she did not bother to ask me about what I wanted to tell her yesterday. Beatrice left my office with a look of defeat on her face after I clapped back at her using Sophie's name but that was not a reason for me to lose my guard. Walking into the company today, my sole intention was to terminate the contract with Draven's company. I needed to show Beatrice how useless her company would be without support and I had to do that quick. As much as Kade tried to persuade me into overlooking what happened, it turned out to be unsuccessful. I had also informed all the shareholders last night that there would be a meeting at nine o'clock on dot. The reply some of them gave showed me how surprised they were but we were able to come to a c

    AvelineI pushed the double door of the conference room, and the board of directors, along with the shareholders, all rose to their feet; I noticed that they were more than the people I knew. As I racked my brain, I remembered that I asked them to come along with their lawyers, and it seemed every one of them came with a lawyer. "You can have your seats," I gave everyone a copy of the files that were in my hand, and the sudden expression on their faces showed me how surprised they were.The only one who was not surprised was Kade and it was very clear to me as to why he was not surprised. "Please–" "Once we start you can say anything you want," I interrupted one of the shareholders who raised his hand. I saw the impatience in his eyes. "You need to wait, and while you are at it you can go through it." I finally sat down before heaving a heavy sigh. "This is sudden." I heard the voice from my left but I could not make out the name of the person that said it. It was not something stu

    Aveline"What do you mean by it's not possible?" My face twisted in confusion. "Why can't I terminate the contract?" "I'm ready to do whatever it takes, no matter how far I have to go or how long it takes," I said, my determination and resolve evident in my voice. "I want you to tell me the steps I need to take to terminate the contract with immediate effect, so I can start making preparations."I paused, my eyes locked on theirs I knew it may take months to get some of the documents from the court, but I was willing to wait. I was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. But what I didn't want to hear from them was that I shouldn't terminate the contract. That's not an option for me.I've worked too hard to get to where I am today. I've built Nova Empire from the ground up, and I won't let anyone or anything threaten its success. Beatrice needs to know that I'm not someone to be underestimated. She needs to know that I'm a force to be reckoned with.I took a deep breath,

    AvelineThe thought of the next thing Beatrice would do disturbed me and as much as I tried to, I could take my mind off the threat she gave me. Sophie had Beatrice and Draven to help her, but there was no one for Betty except for me and maybe Kade. Just maybe. "Good afternoon, ma," one of the computer scientists greeted, but I took my eyes off him without giving a response to his greetings. I was weakened and infuriated at the same time after I found out about what would happen if I terminated my contract with Draven. 'No matter what happens, I'm here,' I understood that V was trying to be there at all times for me, but this was not something she was needed in, and sounding it to her would be rude, so I remained silent. I heard creaking sounds from a distance; it was the door that led to the conference room if I was not mistaken. The indistinct chatters I heard made me sure that they were the one. The flower vase was shattered on the wall by me and I screamed in anger after slam

    Aveline The feeling of anger that was burning within me was now replaced with confusion and I ran my hand through my hair. "Please help me check if she's still there." My hand had started to fidget in fear. My body succumbed to the fear that was slowly taking over me. " I would do that right now." It was not up to ten seconds and she had started to pant. "I don't think she would have left the place, but since you are scared, I would do that right now." Sabrina said Betty was twenty steps away and she was yet to reach after ten seconds of jogging. Maybe I should have told her about the situation on ground and with that she would have been more careful with Betty. Some minutes ago, I was fuming with anger, but now I'm in a situation where I can't even think straight. I should have taken matters more seriously, but I failed to do that, and who knows if I was going to face the consequences seconds or minutes from now. I prayed to the moon goddess for a positive answer from Sabrina

    Aveline"You must be Kade Pierce," Emily stretched forth her hand with a smile on her face. "I've heard a lot about you." Kade turned to me and I shrugged. "Thank you very much." He replied with a smile that did not go as far as his throat not to talk of his heart. "I don't think it's bad to admit that you are the one behind the success and massive growth of this company right?" She rolled her eyes at intervals whenever our eyes met. "It is, in my opinion, though; I don't know about others." The way Kade looked at me showed that he knew Emily and I knew each other. "In my opinion, I think it's Ms Nova; I've worked with her for three years, so yeah. She's the main person behind the success of this company." Emily scoffed in disappointment before taking her hands out of Kade's hand abruptly. "I'm sorry that I was not able to notice it sooner." I looked at the hand she stretched towards me in disgust. "Go straight to your point," I looked her in the eye. "I know you are here for so

    Beatrice"What happened to you when you confronted Aveline?" Beatrice asked Sofia the moment she saw her seated in the living room."What are you talking about Mom?" Sofia asked with a fake smile, trying to act as casually as possible but it was too late.Beatrice already knew what happened, she only wanted to confirm that Aveline wasn't bluffing and Sofia's silence just proved that Aveline wasn't bluffing.Beatrice exhaled slowly as she settled into the same sofa Sofia sat on."Tell me everything that happened that day. Don't leave anything out." Sofia nodded at her mother's words, there was no hiding things from Beatrice. She was always so meticulous with whatever she was doing.Sofia knew that it was better to tell everything to her, especially as it had been confirmed that she was no match for Aveline."Are you sure that's what happened? Aveline is a wolfless werewolf." Beatrice asked with doubt after Sofia finished narrating what happened. "I still think about that night, somet

Your daughter's life is on the line, except she doesn't mean anything to you of course, you can let the cold hands of death snatch her from you but remember, she will never forgive you if you do." Emily's voice sounded once again, making me more aware of my situation. I was caught between a rock and a hard place, with a very difficult condition to be met, I was at my wit's end.My struggles to build the Nova empire were for the sake of my daughter, Betty, I wanted to make sure she wasn't going to have a tough childhood or a tough time settling down when she came of age like I did.I wanted her experience to be the opposite of mine, she was the fruit of the only thing that mattered to me in the past but, I wasn't going to let the same people who almost ruined my life years ago ruin my daughter's life.'There has to be another way, there has to be some other way I can get back my child without having to give up a large amount of my shares or

    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. 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.

    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
