Aveline

I 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 The cop looked at me with disappointment on his face. "I'm…I'm sorry—-" "Sorry for what?!" My voice made the cop gulp in shock. Of course, things like this should not be happening, they want to let her go all because she has a mental illness?!There won't be any difficulty in faking it would there? I furrowed my brows in annoyance. "So you are going to let her go all in the name of some mental illness called schizophrenia?!" A cop tried to calm me down, but after shooting him a deadly stare, he stopped in his tracks. "What if we find out it's a fake?" Draven's voice brought silence in the interrogation and I saw Emily's mother shocked. "Just as you are not willing to break the law that says you should not jail a mentally unstable patient, then I guess you should be ready to face the court when you are reported for not doing deeper research on fake evidence." They all looked at one another before heaving a sigh in unison. "I don't think we should jail her." One of the cops

    Aveline Sabrina was right about moving out of the city but that would only show how much of a weakling I was. I could not shake off the feeling that what she said was true but I just had to consider the fact that there are certain things I've built in this city. In Los Angeles. Moving out now would only mean I stopped halfway in what I had intended to do before coming here; my biggest enemy, which was the Harrington family, was not ceasing to make their move, especially Beatrice, who was their backbone. It was never my plan to get my hands dirty, neither was it my plan to pay someone to get their hands dirty, so I guess I was better off thinking of a solution to end Beatrice's dominance without death. “What do you say about that?” Sabrina's empathetic voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I turned to her with a sigh. I was unsure at the moment, but in the end, it would be a ‘no’, so saying it now would only clear her mind. “I don't think I should move out in a situation like thi

    DravenDraven walked into his office, ignoring everyone who greeted him; the incident in the station made him really annoyed. Every trace of smile was gone from his face as he summoned his assistant and his secretary into his office. "Now I'm going to ask you guys one question," he indicated by showing his index. "Just one and that's all." They could not look him in the eye, their eyes were fixed on the ground. "If we may ask, what is it, sir?" It was his secretary who spoke…on behalf of her and the assistant. "There would be a huge problem once you guys fail to answer me," he rose to his feet while inserting his hand into his pocket. "It would not be any different if I ended up finding the truth."Immediately they heard that, their hands started to fidget in fear. "We…I won't lie, sir." The assistant awaited the secretary's response while looking her in the eye. "The same goes for me, sir," she breathed a heavy sigh, and Draven nodded. "Look at me," he commanded while sitting at

    AvelineDraven's call was all of a sudden, and I picked it up. I saw him storm out of the interrogation room; he might have found out already; that was the only reason why I picked up the call and nothing else. "Why are you calling?" Considering the fact that he might be of little help at the moment, I did not hold back from using my hoarse voice. "You should know that I'm always in the middle of something at times like this." I heard him sigh from the other end of the phone. "I'm sorry for that but I need–+"Just go on with what you called me for." I cut him off with a frown on my face. "I…I've got a favor to ask from you." I inhaled in anger. Calling me just to ask for a favor?! His company hijacked one of my shareholders after I granted him a contract out of pity and he thinks I would grant him another one? That is so stupid, just like he is. "I can't do any for you at the moment." My voice was infused with disdain and I felt no pity for telling him that. Not even the urge to t

    AvelineAs I walked into the building, a sense of unease washed over me, but I looked back and saw the guards coming behind me, and a sigh of relief escaped my lips. 'Don't tell me you are afraid,' V whispered to me, but I shook my head. 'Not afraid, just uneasy.' I said while rolling my eyes in the process. There was nothing to be scared of, not even Beatrice nor Draven, and the same goes for Sophie and Emily. Every one of them. "You stay at the door when I get in okay?" I said without turning back to them and they all chorused."Yes, ma." "She's the one." "She's the CEO of Nova Empire I can't believe." I heard voices from different angles and my forehead knitted. "Who are you here for ma'am?" The receptionist made me pause in my tracks, and I turned to her with a smile, and immediately I did, I noticed the shock on her face. With an arched brow, I asked. "Do you still want to know who I am?" She shook her head and averted her gaze from mine. "You would get used to me in your

    Aveline"Be…Beatrice's bag?" I stuttered. Beatrice threatened me in my own office and now I was in the office of her son. That gives her the upper hand in a lot of ways in which was not looking good to me. No, there are people outside, people that are heavily guarding me. One word from me, and they would barge into this place, so I was good…there was nothing to panic about. 'Do not show them that you are not feeling good here, Aveline, you just have to be yourself,' I whispered to myself, and a smile was plastered on my face."Hey," Draven's voice pulled me back to reality and I checked my wristwatch. I was supposed to be here this long; Beatrice's arrival would only be like salt that was added to a wound. "Do you have a problem with that?" His question made me turn in the direction of the bag. That was where he pointed to anyway. "No, I don't." I gave him an answer almost immediately. "I don't think we should be this casual considering the fact that it is only business that is be

    DravenDraven walked out of the building and the look he had on his face showed how shocked he was after he saw Kade leaning on Aveline's car. "Hi." Kade waved to him with a smile on his face. "I think we've met before." He took off his dark shades but the smile was not off his face. The former nodded at what the latter said. "Yeah, Kade Pierce." Aveline constantly switched gazes from Draven to Kade, the only difference was the way she looked at them. She seemed to be shocked at Kade's coming and she was annoyed whenever she looked at the former. "Can you guys tell what the fuck is going on here?" Aveline demanded as he shielded her eyes from the sun with the back of her palm. Without sparing any of them a glance, she turned to leave when Draven held her wrist, but the guards pushed him back. "Leave him," Aveline muttered. "I should hear what he wants to say.""I can't talk here," Draven heaved a sigh after looking at each one of Aveline's bodyguards. "We both know this is someth

    AvelineMy gaze remained fixed on Kade, my mind replaying the events that had transpired just moments before. The memory of his actions was etched vividly in my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder what had driven him to behave in such a way. The look on his face had been a mixture of determination and defiance, his eyes flashing with a fierce intensity as he stood his ground against Draven.As I continued to study Kade's expression, I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do it?" My voice was barely above a whisper, but Kade's response was immediate. He shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips as he replied, "I just thought it was the right thing to do."I searched his face for any sign of regret or hesitation, but there was none. His voice was firm and resolute, his words laced with a conviction that was both admirable and unsettling. "He kept questioning you, and I didn't like it," Kade added, his eyes never leaving mine.I held his gaze for a long, tense moment, my mind racing wi

    Aveline"Hey, you! Come pick up these plates." The elderly female Lycan whom I presume is in charge of the kitchen called me.Kade hadn't bothered me since my last confrontation with him and I could say everything was going well only that it wasn't. I missed my family. Betty, Sabrina, my company. Who knows what has become of my company? I'd worked so hard to build it and now I couldn't even be there to watch it fly.'Just perfect. My ill luck strikes once again!' I was pissed at myself for a lot of things.First for coming back to this goddess-forsaking city when I should've learned that it was never for me. I was never lucky here."What are you deaf? Don't you hear me talking to you?" The female asked, her face red from the strain in her voice and the anger I was sure was brewing deep within her.The Lycan guards around turned to look at me ~~The cause of the strain in the aged Lycan's voice.~~I walked to where the plates sat on the large island, picked it up and made my way to th

    DravenAs much as Draven wanted to be in his room all day long and give a cold shoulder to everyone, his duty as the Alpha of his pack remained and he had to fulfill that duty.If it wasn't for Brian and some other guards who stood by him, he would've given up on being the Alpha and made it his life mission to find Aveline and bring her back. Not to the pack but to a small cottage somewhere in the midst of nowhere.All he wanted was to be with Aveline. Nothing else mattered much to him and if it would cost him his pack and its people, he'd dissolve it in a heartbeat."Boss." Someone called from the door of Draven's office."I did my findings and just like we suspected, Kade is nowhere to be seen but he put someone else in charge of his company." "Who?" Draven asked. "Damien. We also checked him and found that he has a shitty background. It's not so clear but he appears to be from Russia. His mother had a history in New York hence his tie to the place.""I see. So you think Damien ha

    AvelineI found my way to Draven's much to my dismay. His scent filled my nose the minute I walked into his room and I felt the urge to retch my guts out.I swallowed hard instead and forced the last meal of bacon and bread back down my throat."Why are you so stiff?" He asked on seeing me."I'm not.""You are. I can sense it." I swallowed again. This time around the curse words almost slipped out of my mouth.I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and ask him what they did to my wolf to silence her. But at the same time, I didn't want to sell myself out as weak and defenseless. Who knows? The reason why Kade hasn't had his way with me yet is because he still thinks I have a wolf and might deal the same fate I did with Sofia to him.And I wasn't sure when I stopped feeling my wolf. It could be after that book incident, or after we arrived at the borders of this goddess-forsaking place. Whichever one it was, I knew I couldn't sell myself just yet so I bit my lower lip instead."Wh

    Aveline With each passing day, I felt so sick to my stomach. I'd recovered with time from whatever that was but the scar reminded me of the life-threatening incident. It didn't help that I could no longer hear my wolf or even feel her. Feeling weak all over again made me feel useless."Faster!" One of the Lycans shouted at us.By us, I mean the wolves within them, we were involved in all sorts of domestic jobs and were also killed at will. I had the liberty of remaining in the room I was given all day, locked up and reading boring books throughout the day, but I chose to do this instead because I'd get an idea of what the clan looked like and maybe find a secret passage I could escape from.Locking myself in would do me no good, I figured and joined them but I wasn't prepared for how tedious working for the Lycans was.We did a lot of lifting and cleaning and lifting again."Fucker" I muttered under my breath and scrubbed the floor with even more force than necessary. One other re

    DravenEven after two days since Aveline was taken by Kade, it still felt surreal. Draven felt it hard to believe that Aveline was not with him any longer but was in the Lycan's clan with Kade. It took a lot of effort from Brian and his close guards to keep him from going crazy. Her image stuck in his memory like a permanent stain. Her expression when she wanted to tell him to take care of Betty if anything happened to her while they were gone. As if she fucking knew!Betty on the other hand had been asking of her mother but Sabrina and Sofia had been working tirelessly to keep the news of Aveline's whereabouts from her. It was a wonder how long they could keep it for though. The truth would be out soon, especially if he isn't able to save her on time and it would cause an uproar in the city considering the things Aveline had under her control.'Fuck!' Draven rubbed his face in frustration as he stared down at different maps but none of them was what he needed.It was like the Lyca

    Aveline We walked for almost an hour and a half before we got to a large, tall gate with even more Lycans trouping out.If the gate was this far from where Draven and I were, it meant that they knew about our presence. They knew we were coming and they knew where we were and when we arrived.Kade was more than a step ahead of us and we walked straight into their trap."Stop!" Kade instructed and the Lycans came to a halt."Take her to her room." I was dragged in a different direction while Kade followed another direction. The whole place was filled with bushes by the sides, leaving only a small road in the middle.After walking for minutes, I couldn't keep track because I was already tired from the previous fight, and the long trek. I hadn't rested since the vampires attacked the pack and it was telling on me.However, a tall building came into sight and it had a lot of windows and a wide entrance.'Was that where my room was?' I was led into the building to the second floor. And in

    Draven Seeing Aveline being taken away and being unable to do anything made him lose his shit. He tugged and tugged in futility to free his hands but more Lycans approached him and covered him with their huge build."Fuck!" "Ave-line..." the sound came out mumbled. As he charged to pull the weight of the Lycans off him, he noticed some of them left him, their attention was distracted. With the decreased weight on him, he pushed them away from him and saw Brian and Scar fighting the Lycans. They were in their wolf form and they were pissed.It was possible that they saw what happened with Aveline and were out to save him.Draven lunged at some Lycans and the place became a war scene. Claws dug into flesh, Lycans into Lycans and fists into muscles as they fought tirelessly, the more they fought the more new Lycans ran toward the scene."Let's go. We have to go Draven. They're multiplying." Brian was always the reasonable one but Draven was as impulsive as ever.Kade didn't only tak

    Aveline"Stay behind me, Aveline!" Draven guarded me behind him but it was of no use, we were already surrounded and he wouldn't be able to take on them alone.By 'them' I meant, the terrible-looking and intimidating Lycans that surrounded us. They growled and covered in on us.Draven let out his claws but how many could they defeat?The Lycans came to a halt suddenly and turned around as if something else caught their attention. A figure appeared in the darkness and I squinted only to see Kade appear from behind the Lycans. As they parted for him to walk through, I couldn't help the scoff that escaped my lips.It was true, Kade was in on this. He was controlling the Lycans and he was out to get me."Well well, look who we have here?" He said with a smirk as he stood right before Draven and me.Draven gritted his teeth, one of his hands still behind him in a protective curve around me."You're nothing but a fucker Kade and a disgrace to the werewolves." Draven spat, his eyes red with

    Aveline For the rest of the ride, everyone was ~~calm~~ no, quiet. I was certain that we all had a lot going through our minds and brains.No one spoke about my supernatural outburst yet and I wanted it to remain that way. At least until we figure out what it is we are dealing with. 'Are you alright?' A familiar voice rang through my mind, making me almost jerk up. It wasn't V (my wolf) it was a masculine voice.'Calm down love, it's me.' The voice spoke again and my eyes grew twice their size as I realized it was Draven. I glanced at him and he let a reassuring smile cross his lips.'Why are you in my head!' I retorted, more shocked than angry. He had never communicated to me through the mind link and it seemed strange.'I don't want them to listen in on our conversation, we deserve some privacy don't you think?' There was something about Draven's voice that calmed me down.I smiled at his words, the eerie feeling that overwhelmed me minutes before hearing Draven's voice left in
