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

  • Alpha Draven's Regret; Chasing My Secretary    CHAPTER 001

    An average person hates Monday mornings, but I have hated my life for the past seven years. Sitting in the back of the car, I clasped my palms together, rubbing them absently in a vain attempt to warm the cold dread crawling up my spine. But no amount of heat could ever thaw the ice that had settled in my heart over the past seven years.It's funny how time doesn't wait for you to heal and how it didn't wait for me to outgrow the scars that came from harmless wishful thinking. I shrugged and looked outside the window at the skyline of the bustling city and the most magnificent building in the whole country where I worked. But I am far from excited. I will soon be standing before “...the very face that ruined my life without even realising it, by never looking at me the way I wished.“Which spot in the VIP parking lot, is yours, Ma'am, the middle one”“No,” I screamed in response to my new driver, my eyes widening in shock. “Turn in the other direction,” I raised my hand and pointed.

    The expression on Emily's face was smug, but taking a closer look, I caught something else beneath the surface—something darker.“I have heard a lot about you, miss...”“Aveline,” I completed for her. "Right," she smiled, pulling a perfectly manicured hand from her pocket and extending it toward me. "I'm Emily, Draven ’s true mate—and soon-to-be bride."Her words hit like a punch to the gut. My stomach twisted as I glanced between her outstretched hand and Draven , who sat casually in his chair as if nothing had been said. This felt surreal like I was living in a lucid nightmare or a scene from a dystopian horror movie. I took a closer look at Emily now, she was tall, with the gate of a runway model. Her nose was long and pointed, her face exquisitely sculptured. The red lipstick across her lips complemented the silver colour of her eyes. Was it what drew Draven to her? The beauty? Or was I simply not up to par? “I don’t think you’re much for handshakes with strangers,” Emily’s

    The sun did nothing to alleviate my suffering as it shone merciless above me. It was an unusually hot day. Another day to face the bricks that would break my bones and leave my life in the shadows of pain."She's here," I heard whispers and everyone seemed to stare awkwardly at me, not like I cared since I had been dealt the worse blow of my life the day before and was really ready for anything. Maybe mot anything. I casually dropped my bag and buried my head in work to distract myself all day."Here comes the slimmy and shameless bitch." Someone said when I walked out my door to give a file to an employee. "Excuse me what?" I turned when I realized I was the only female approaching since the rest sat behind desktops."You heard me," a slightly tan lady eyed me but no matter how I tried, I couldn't recall her face. She definitely didn't work here."And who are you to think you're worthy of speaking to me?" I was done playing dumb and doormat. "Oh, I see you have wings simply bec

    I was no fan of Emily especially after her display in the office the previous day yet I listened to whatever she had to say hoping it was good and Draven was coming soon but that was where I had got it completely wrong."What do you want Emily?" I asked folding my hand across my chest in a defensive stance."You sent a message to Draven didn't you?" She smirked as she walked in and shut the door properly behind her "And whatever message I sent has nothing to do with you either. " I was really irritated by her guts."I don't think Draven shares the same thought as you else he wouldn't have sent me here to talk to you in his stead." "What? Draven sent you here to meet and talk with me instead?" I was shocked. "Oh Aveline, what really do you expect from him?" She blinked like a cute puppy. "Draven sent me here because he does not want to have anything to do with you or your bastard baby." Her words hit me hard.My child was no bastard."He can't," I stammered because I saw him r

    I blinked back the excess sunlight and shielded my eyes with my hand when I regained consciousness. My head hurt slightly but I was alive."Damn it girl," a familiar voice filled with concern rang through my ears before I could catch a glimpse of the company around me."Hi," I muttered the words as I struggled to my sit upright. "Hey, be careful." Sabrina my best friend helped me to a sitting position. "What do you think you are doing to yourself?" I saw the lines of worry on her forehead as she squeezed my arm gently. I didn't need a lecture, I wanted to know what happened to me."What happened?" I asked in the loudest tone I could but it still came out a whisper. The sadness in her eyes fueled my curiosity, "Brina, where..." she shook her head and I trailed off.If not anyone I had surely informed Sabrina about my pregnancy. "I didn't lose it right?" I asked still hopeful."I'm sorry baby girl but I couldn't get here fast enough after your call and I met you in a really bad stat

    DravenDraven arched an eyebrow when Aveline snapped back at him with her words.He rose from his chair and placed his hands on the table. His broad shoulders were very visible, and his hair bounced upward, leaving the few strands just at the front of his innocent blue eyes that could capture one's heart with just a glance.His facial appearance was one to speak about also, but at this point, he was angry rather than confused. Aveline was still standing when he stood properly. "What did you think you are trying to do?" His deep baritone filled the room but Aveline was not fazed by it. Instead, she just shrugged. "I told you already, I'm packing my things," she heaved a deep sigh and opened her eyes. "I would be out of this place in an hour."Two lines appeared on Draven's face as he stared deeper into Aveline's eyes. "We both know you are doing this to make me beg you." "Ain't I saying the truth?" He added. A deep scoff escaped Aveline's throat. "I need nothing from you, Draven; I

    Aveline I walked out of the office slowly, I had made up my mind already, I could not turn back on my words. Emily was deceiving herself if she thinks I was hurt by the stupidity she portrayed in there, I knew Draven had given up on me and he sees me as a whore who just satisfy his sexual urge, it was painful but I just had to accept it.Different thoughts of what to do after I leave this place kept flooding in my head and it just kept fading away and I saw more of it as a bad option.Was Draven was right about what he said?Maybe I can't survive outside his territory, is he the reason why I had been surviving all this time?No, no way!!!The seven years that I spent here with Draven was more of a living hell so I don't think I would be fazed by the world outside this place. I would survive!!!It felt like my heart was squeezed as I turned away each day I keep telling myself that it's fine, that I would be fine even though I know things are not okay."Where did you think you are goi

    Aveline Immediately I got to the hospital, and I rushed off to where the doctor that had called me was. I pushed open the ward door, hoping that what the doctor had said would turn out to be false, even though I knew that the chance of that happening was extremely low. I met the doctor standing close to the bed with what seemed to be nothing other than a stethoscope around his neck with his back turned towards me. I walked slowly, my feet feeling too heavy to raise, so I had to drag them across the floor, my facial expression betraying my emotion in that instant immediately after I laid my eyes on the figure that lay on the bed that the doctor was standing really close to and was covered from head to toe. The doctor turned to stare at me with a saddened expression plastered on his face; that same emotion could be noticed in his voice when he spoke to me. “I am sorry for your loss, Miss Aveline; she died not too long ago,” he said to me and clasped his hand on my shoulder. I tight

    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

    DravenThe day was a busy one for him, it was either that or he had been so buried in Aveline's absence that he snubbed work for weeks. And it was telling on him from the pole of files on his table and the trouping in and out of his secretary into his office with more complaints and questions. Must have lost track of time with the so much work he had to handle and he only realized that when he picked up a call from a client who wanted a detailed statement of his transaction with Draven's company. Draven ran out of his office when he saw the time. He had forgotten to pick Betty from school.He drove over to her school like a man whose wife was in the hospital.When he got there he was told that Betty already left and Kade picked her up.Kade was no stranger to the school. He always picked his niece from school before he decided to show his true colors and Betty always tagged along so the teachers didn't read any meaning into his meeting with the girls."You could have called me and i
