Aveline

The 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

    Aveline"You don't have much time to waste. 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

    AvelineFollowing slowly like a snail wasn't doing much to help my anxiety but the hope of seeing my daughter again made the slow drive worth it.Emily's car was ahead, and the two bikes were behind her, freestyling on the road like they were in some race competition even though I wouldn't know that I was being followed. Then I was the last vehicle in the line. I drove slowly so that Emily wouldn't see my car and it was killing me.My phone rang and I connected it to the car's speaker. It was Sabrina. "Hello, any update yet?" Her worried voice inquired. I could tell that she was tired.She decided to go from house to house on the other side of the city with Betty's picture to ask people if they'd seen her and I could tell from her voice that she was exhausted and worried out of her mind.She blamed herself for letting Betty out of her sight and no matter how I tried to convince her, it was like pouring water into a gasoline explosion. "Nothing solid for now, but Emily came by the o

    AvelineHappiness and relief were completely an understatement to what I was feeling immediately after my gaze landed on Betty. "You are not hurt Betty, you are not." "Mom?" She forcefully took her hand out of the cop's hand, and just as he was about to follow her, our eyes met, which made him pause. "It's fine." She jumped into my arms and I took her far above the ground level with constant chuckles. "I was worried about you." I kissed her on the forehead. "What really happened?" I turned to my back, and I saw Draven smiling at Betty. I felt guilty for a split second. I lied to him about his child, but it was for her safety and nothing else. "There…there was this man who gave me gifts at school," Betty's serene and innocent voice pulled me back to reality. She had started to stutter in fear, and I noticed that her grip on my hand tightened, which made me hug her. "It's fine," I patted her on the head gently. "All that matters now is that you are safe." As we were in each other's

    AvelineIt had been over ten minutes since Draven and I were in the car and we sat in silence without saying a thing to one another. The only thing my eyes were fixed on was the road, but I could swear that I caught Draven staring more than twice. 'How can I be seated so close to the person who made life a living hell for me for eight years?' I thought to myself and heaved a sigh. 'I think I should have given him a hundred dollar note to board a taxi.' But are these thoughts coming now? It makes me feel so stupid. He was supposed to be far from me after our date, well he was, but not anymore. "Aveline." His voice made me gasp in shock and I looked at him with an arched eyebrow. "What?" From the look he had on his face after that question, I was harsh, but apologizing was impossible. It was never going to happen, I just hoped he knew. "I just wanted to let you know that I was not behind Betty's—-" "Please can we not talk about that right now?" I cut him sharply with what sounded

    AvelineI turned to Emily, my eyes wide with shock and confusion. "How did your mom find out?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't understand what was happening but I knew Beatrice had managed to get her hands on that information. The police had assured me that the interrogation was being kept under wraps, and yet, somehow, Beatrice had found out already. Was it that she never betrayed Emily, or was she doing it to keep her name clean?I guess the latter is just the perfect answer for it; Beatrice would not want her name to be stained, just like her reputation. She could protect it with everything she has, even if it means a lot of people's lives would be endangered. She was willing to do it. Beatrice knew quite right that if she did not act fast, then she would also be involved in the case since Emily was not good at suffering. I was pretty sure about that, the same goes for everyone around her but they probably kept it to themselves all in the name of protecting h

    Aveline Sleep the previous night was crap. I could barely close my eyes. All that went through my head was the image of me back to the pack, holding my daughter Betty close to my arms and hugging my friend so tight.I also thought about the things that could go wrong and how powerless I was to put up a fight but Angel's voice kept reminding me that no matter what happens tomorrow, I run and never look back until I leave the gates.I know that she is risking her life to get me out and she is trading carefully too but what if something goes wrong and they punish her for it or even kill her in the process? Then I would live knowing that a young girl's blood was spilled for my sake.Maybe it was because I didn't sleep through the night but the time went by fast and it was morning. "Wake up sleepy head. Get ready for the signal I am going to give you. Once you see it, you'll walk into the bush part by the market and quickly change your clothes into this one and I'll do your makeup there

    AvelineJust as the she-wolf said, she found an escape plan and we were going on about it for days. We had to make sure it worked out perfectly because one mistake could cause us both our heads.She told me that all the while I was looking for her, she was out of the clan. She escaped as the market people were going out of the clan after the day's sales.And came back the day she did when they were coming back as well. She found an excuse to give the clan's officials who noticed her missing but didn't care much since she was a slave."If we can execute this perfectly then you will be out of here by the next market day." She told me that day and I remembered smiling at her words.I would love nothing more than to leave the shit hole I found myself that has brought nothing but pain to my life."How do I get out unnoticed?" I asked with worry etched on my face. "It must have been easy for you to go out because you are a slave, not someone who is wanted like me." "I think I have a soluti

    JulianHe ran after Sabrina who in turn ran after the man who snatched her bag.She was cursing all along.The thief ran into a street, a street Julian knew well enough and he followed another route to block the thief. He knew where the thief was running to and the last thing he wanted was to be seen."Stop! Turn around slowly and drop the bag." Julian ordered when he got close enough but the thief didn't stop for five seconds and then he suddenly paused and stopped as though Julian's words replayed in his head and it rang a bell.He turned around as instructed and his eyes widened in shock. Sabrina ran in just in time to see him shaking with fear."J-Ju- King!" He stuttered, his hands to his head as the bag fell off his hand. Sabrina was surprised by his reaction and she shifted glances between the man and Julian."You can go. Don't tell anyone you saw me." Julian whispered and the man nodded vehemently before running away.Sabrina was even more confused. Why did Julian tell him not

    SabrinaJust like she expected, the next day was a busy one and she didn't even get to eat breakfast.Sabrina and Julian had a meeting with the company's board members to discuss the process of penetrating the market and it was a long one.A lot of ideas were thrown on the table but due to the location, a lot of them would not be effective so they all had to brainstorm and come up with something better.By the time the meeting was adjourned, it was late noon already.While the board members cleared their tables and left the hall, Sabrina took her time picking her things up. She was so careful not to miss a step or act clumsily out of hunger and exhaustion. No other person seemed to notice her but of course, one person did, and it was Julian. He walked right up to her with a subtle smile. Now, he was not a man of many smiles but he had been smiling whenever he was around Sabrina. Maybe he had not noticed it yet or maybe he thinks it's a part of his fun games but he will, soon enough.

    Sabrina"How dare you bring me to a motel? You think I'm one of those cheap sluts you play around with as you will?" Sabrina fumed, ignoring the look of total confusion her words brought to Julian's face. "Read my lips you scumbag, I do not want to do anything of that sort with you. Hell, I don't even want to be in the same space as you are and I'm barely coping..." Sabrina was raging on and on and it seemed like the more she spoke, the more angry she became so Julian tried to calm her down."Wait, wait, you think this is a motel?" He asked with a chuckle. He had no idea why he warmed up to the lady despite her fierceness. Maybe that was what intrigued him in the first place.Sabrina stopped raving and just stared daggers at him."You think I want to do something of that sort with you?" Julian asked again, a subtle smile of amusement on his face."Of course! Why else will you bring me here instead of taking me to the hotel we booked? This is not the name of the hotel. And why would y

    JULIAN The day Julian and Sabrina were meant to travel finally arrived, and they both made their way into the private jet that was waiting for them at the airport. Immediately after they stepped inside, Julian noticed the change in Sabrina's expression, and it was quite easy for him to tell what the cause for her sudden change in expression was. “Why are the chairs so close to each other?” She questioned, slowly moving to one of them, while he moved to the other. “I am not the one that built this jet, so I have no answer to the question that you just asked me,” Julian replied as he slumped down into one. “It was a rhetorical question; you didn't need to answer it,” she replied with a quite feisty tone. “If it were up to me, I wouldn't have minded the chairs being so far away from each other,” she muttered under her breath. Julian turned to stare at her with the same amused expression that always finds its way to his face whenever his eyes land on the embodiment of beauty sittin

    Aveline I started getting worried. Not because of Betty this time around, or Sabrina or even my company, _although those always got me worried daily_This time around, I was worried because of the She-wolf who had been helping me through my recovery. I had not seen her in a while now and it was not normal for someone who always came around every morning to check in on me and keep me company, she hadn't come in for three days. I had every right to be worried. Considering what I went through in the hands of Kade.'What if he locked her up in the cell because she did something offensive?' I thought to myself with a deep sigh. She was a slave after all, and slacks are not cut for slaves in the clan. 'What if they killed her?!' My heart beat accelerated at this thought and I placed a palm on my chest to calm myself. I had to think about the positives that could happen but there were barely any positives that could happen in this shit hole of a clan where the Lycans kill for the fun o

    Draven’s office was occupied by three people, with Draven seated behind his desk on his usual office chair, while the other two occupants, Brian, his beta, and Scar, Aveline’s right-hand man, sat on the two chairs opposite where Draven was seated. “Let's not even beat around the bush, and let me get straight to the point. I called both of you here to fill you in on my plan to attack the Lycans and set Aveline free from their grasp.” His gaze moved from Brian to Scar while he spoke, paying rapt attention to the expression plastered on their faces. Just like he had expected, the only person that reacted to this news was his beta, Brian. “You know this is not something that we are supposed to rush into,” Brian said and leaned forward, placing his arm on the table, like Draven wouldn't be able to hear him due to the little distance between them. He continued before Draven could interrupt him, “These people are far stronger than we are; they are well versed in battle individually. It w
