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

    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

    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

    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

    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."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

    AvelineMaybe I wasn't ready to be back in Draven's mansion but Betty and Sabrina were having the times of their lives. Betty played in the garden with butterflies fluttering the whole place which usually leaves broad smiles on my face. While Sabrina got close to the chef and learned new recipes.They both had warmed up to the place but I couldn't say the same for myself. With every turn I took in the pack and every face I saw, it seemed as though I was being roped back into my ugly past.Most of the pack members had witnessed my humiliating moments, being shamed by Draven, his sister and his mother. And seeing them or walking in some places around the pack brought back flashbacks of the ugly events.However, I tried hard not to let Sabrina and Betty know this, since it's the first time in a long while they've related with people and were so happy. I wouldn't want to ruin the moment. "Hey Ave, how are you doing? Have you had breakfast yet?" Sofia asked as she approached me in the li

    Draven Hearing those words come out of Aveline's mouth was like he was being pierced by sharp swords. He knew that she had been through a lot -- he had put her through a lot and her last days around him were not the best but he didn't know that she felt so hurt and destabilized being there.Draven thought everything was finally coming together with her being in his mansion because he didn't plan on letting her go.Yes, he didn't plan on letting her or her daughter go anytime soon. Her friend can go anywhere she likes but Aveline and her child belong with him and he's not going to let them off his sight again. The attack to him was a way for the goddess to tell him to take them in."I-- I didn't know this." His voice was so calm and his face face was coated in sincerity. He didn't know she felt this way all the while she was in the house.He could've found a way to make it up to her. Even if it takes months.She huffed and opened her mouth to say something and it was either she decid

The hefty werewolf I fought to get my position as Alpha fumed.News had gotten to my pack members that I was allegedly living with Draven and this didn't sit well with them."Being in a relationship with him means I'll become his Luna soon no?" I asked with raised cheeks.His face drew a frown."The only thing I need from you is your support in getting the pack together. Let everyone be mindful and report any strange movement you notice. It might be a clue.""Clue to what?" He asked.I didn't tell him or any of my pack members about the ambush. I didn't know who was behind it and wanted to keep things down until I found the culprit."Just do as you are asked." I replied before entering the call. The wait had been excruciating and not knowing what was going on outside these walls was slowly killing me.Hearing the same news from Draven about ho

    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.

    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
