HUNTER โFuck off.โ Her words ring in my ear until all I hear is her voice. The way her breath sounds so softly a few inches away from my mouth. I could almost taste it. But thatโs not the only thing that amused me. I move closer, and I mean, really close to her until she was staring up at the biggest, baddest mountain she had ever seen. There isnโt a trace of fear in her lavender eyes, or maybe she just wouldnโt show it. And for a lower-class wolf, thatโs what amused me most. Other wolves who thought could fuck with me always knew what was coming for them. When it does, theyโre either running for the hills, or staring at me with absolute fear in their fucking eyes while their bodies quiver in my presence alone. This girl, however, do not. She had every damn reason to fear me after what she just saw me do to that fuck, yet here she is. Standing hot and sexy before me so my eyes could see, her head held high. Despite being naked, she isnโt ashamed of her body. I canโt help but pull m
AVA My heart raced staring at hisโฆ thing. Just look at it! It almost looks like itโs mad at me for no reason, and Iโm here unable to do anything with my eyes that are nearly bulging out of their sockets. Heโs huge. However, why is it standing? I think to myself while tilting my head slightly. My cheeks are on fire, but I canโt seem to stop staring at it. I felt a painful throbbing between my legs right after, and the way he called me his mate with his deep, raspy voice makes the throbbing hurt even more. I donโt know what to do with myself, and Iโm not sure how to stop it. That feeling didnโt last long, though. The next few words that left his mouth easily killed that weird sensation I was feeling, and I was thankful for it. In fact, I didnโt want to feel anything when it came to the asshole. I just didnโt expect Iโd let my emotions take over me when it clearly wasnโt the time to. Let me guess, the mate bond. Clenching my teeth, I wipe the tears pooling around my eyes harshly wi
AVAThe run back home went by without a hitch. I was in wolf form. Thankfully Moonlight decided to shift at the right moment. If she didn't, Hunter might have left my ass out there for good. After Hunter led me back home, I realized the party was over. It was earlier than I expected. But I suspect it was my father who've had something to do with stopping it at this hour. When my house came into full view, I realize everyone had already left the scenario and my parents were waiting for me at our front porch. My father was looking like he'd been pacing back and forth a quadrillion times, while my mother sat quietly on the old rickety wooden stairs leading up to our porch. Mom's pale face told me she received a good scolding from Dad, but I knew he could never hold his anger against her for long. And my house? Let's just say it was wrecked by a dragon. Red spray paint tainted our once tidy pristine walls. Whoever did this shit had a message, and it read: SLUTHOUSE. Anger boiled throug
HUNTER I slam my fist hard against the bathroom wall, feeling the cold water pour down my body as I close my eyes. Yesterday was a fucking disaster. Her father was one thing though. His aura was strong, like a beta, which is impossible because apparently, heโs an omega. And omegas arenโt supposed to hold that strong of an aura, right? He canโt be a beta by blood, yet thereโs no denying the authority oozing off him. Come to think of it, I heard of a rumor about a beta who stepped down from his rank twenty years ago. No one knew the real reason why, but I had heard some people say he left his duty to be with his mate. Stepping down your rank for a woman? Iโd laughed it off and thought it to be the most ridiculous lie Iโd ever heard. If it was the truth, Iโd say anyone whoโd choose his feelings over his duty does not deserve his rank anyway. From the moment I saw Avaโs father that night, I knew it has to be him. Thereโs no mistaking it. And heโs fucking livid when he looked at me rig
AVAThe next day I headed to school as usual. I threw in some acid washed jeans, an oversized shirt and yanked in a pair of converse shoes. As I sauntered downstairs, I noticed how mom, in some surprising, magical way, managed to make the house super clean overnight. Not a thing was out of place, and everything went back exactly to the way they were before the party. Did mom stay up overnight cleaning? I suddenly felt bad because I could have helped, but she insisted I rest considering I've just been through my first shift last night. I sigh, squeezing my hands into fists. One day, I'll graduate and go to uni so I could give my parents a better life. One day, we'll be out of here. Leave this stupid pack for good and let them know exactly what they'd lost. Without my father as the warrior trainer, this pack will cease to produce strong warriors to protect them. And when that happens, we'll be long gone. Anything is far better than living in this old, rickety house. Since dad steppe
AVAWe arrived in front of the school gates earlier than I had expected. Dad really had to ask that question right before he stops the car at my school. Even from afar, I could feel the students gawking at us.I curl my fists on my lap and nervously look out the window, hyper aware of Dad's narrowing gaze on the side of my head.Words lodged in my throat, and I'm not quite sure if telling him was the right thing to do at this point."Ava?" Dad's voice came with a warning, making me snap my eyes at him in shock.His brows furrow slightly at my reaction, and I'm trying not to space out as I weigh the consequences of him knowing the truth: that Hunter is, unfortunately, the mate Goddess destined for me.I cringe at the thought. Who in the right mind would honestly think it's okay to pair up omega and alpha blood together? I mean, it's simply insane! Goddess knows better than anyone that it would bring unspeakable disasters to the pack.So no, thank you. I'd rather keep this little bit to
HUNTER As I saunter over the lobby, I stopped in my tracks, my brows knit as I look around my surroundings. Where the hell is everyone? Not to mention, I haven't seen a single girl clinging to me like a fucking leech. They should be right on my tail once I enter the main building. The sound of footsteps from the other side of the hallway reaches my ears, pulling me from my thoughts almost instantly. Preston and Gomorey sprinted towards me, both the shock and amusement whirling in their eyes were enough to let me know something is up. They inhale deep breaths. Preston nudges Gomorey before nodding his head towards me. Gomorey looks at me but doesnโt say anything for at least two seconds. โWhat? Got a lockjaw or something?โ I raise my brow, narrowing my gaze at him who should be fucking aware my patience is drifting. Knowing Iโm the only one who doesnโt have a fucking clue about whatโs all this is about pisses me the fuck off. โAvaโs in trouble,โ He reveals, popping the last fu
AVAMy heart is thundering faster than light all of a sudden, and it wasn't because of this crowd bellowing and yapping as they closed in on me. It was because of the words that came from Hunter's mouth. What did he mean by saying he's going to make me his? Shock written all over the crowd's faces clear as day. Their whistles nearly blasted my eardrums, and their raucous cheers rang deeply in my head the moment sumo girl fell flat on her ass. A funny look plastered on her face telling me she wasn't expecting that from me, neither did anyone in this hall. Especially him.I bite my bottom lip while staring right into his burning amber eyes. They look brighter than usual, and he's looking at me intently like a predator would his prey. A frigil chill runs up my spine. I can't explain it, but something tells me I'm not going to like whatever that look means.Three consecutive claps suddenly fills the air, loud and strong enough to silence the crowd as she steals the spotlight effortless
HUNTERโs POV Nevermind, I thought to myself, bringing my full attention back to Ava who had just stripped off her clothes before flinging her large melons against my chest as she jumped at me, startling me with an intense, hot kiss as she plunged her tongue inside me, claiming what was hers. Suddenly, she pulled away, her hands grabbing onto my shoulders as she rocked her hips against my now hard-on. Licking her lips, she let her hand fall between her thighs and I watch her slip a finger into her wet, slick cunt. I groaned, enjoying the unexpected show as she thrust her finger in and out of her pussy when she said, โFuck me. Now.โ Her heat sparkled in her eyes and I knew then what I had to do. Excitement filled her eyes as I shoved her to the bed, making her lay on her stomach as I bend her over. โYou ready?โ She moaned, the sound pleasing to my ears as my own heat rose to the surface. There goes my answer. With my hands on her hips, I positioned myself before slamming deep into
Chapter 68HUNTERโs POVโYouโre going to be alright, Ava, I promise,โ I whispered, lowering my head to her ear.I watched as her eyes closed slowly, her body growing limp in my arms.โShit!โ Brock cussed beside me, his eyes on Ava who had just fallen into a deep sleep.โYou need to move fast, or else sheโll be stuck in a coma,โ he tells me, panic settling in his eyes.I nodded and raced to her door. Bursting into her room, I strode to her bed, laying her down carefully. Her breathing was heavy and I watched the rise and fall of her chest as Brock came bursting through the door, along with a few others.โWhat could be done? Tell me!โ Theo snapped, grabbing Brock by the collar of his shirt.Making sure Ava is lying comfortably on the bed, I went to grab Theo and haul him across the room and off Brock. His back crashing against the wall before he let out a grunt.โCalm down, let him speak,โ I said calmly and slowly for Theo to hear.His wife hurried to help him up, and Theo glared at me.
AVAโs POV Ignoring the throbbing in my head and the unfathomable heat burning me inside slowly, I steadied myself by leaning against the sink. I was in the kitchen helping mum with the dishes. Right after Brock and his mate, Syria, came in the boys suddenly decided to spend the night drinking beer after dinner, including my Dad. Syria hugged me right when she saw me, tears forming in her eyes. โI am so glad you made it,โ she whispered and I canโt help but notice the happiness in her tone. I smiled, hugging her back. โIโm a dragon, remember?โ I giggled. Mum ushered them insider, demanding they eat the food served at the table. I shook my head, seeing as Mum never did change. Sheโs still the same mum I knew since I left, and I wished for a moment it will stay that way. Quickly after dinner, Amy and Axel had to go, saying they had been called to their packs to talk about their mating ceremony. I hugged them both with tears in my eyes. I was so happy for them. After they bid me good
Chapter 66HUNTERโs POVIt hasnโt been easy convincing Zane to free all the nightcrawlers and give witches back their own will. They are people, too, and he had no right to keep them behind doors when their eyes are looking out the window. They want freedom. Ava, no, Valkerie, wants peace. Iโm sure Ava would want the same thing.I could say that much when I spoke to her dragon the first time. She claims to be the first dragon, and judging by the strength of her aura and magical sphere, a new term I picked up from Brock whoโs still waiting for us back at the pack house, knowing him shaking his dragon ass would shake the entire pack.When Zane refused to give them back their freedom and break the spell he cast upon nightcrawlers, or should I say the last few dragon shifters, I stopped to think when an idea popped in my mind.---Two days agoโHow about we make a deal, then?โZane stopped, in the middle of his conversation with Sabrina, before he turned around facing me.โWhat kind of de
AVAโs POVA knock on the door startled me awake. Jolting up from the bed, I squinted, rubbing my eyes.Hunter groaned beside me. Turning to look at him, I stop to admire his chiseled body and handsome face. He looks vulnerable when asleep, yet a warrior clearly resides in him.Another knock came, pulling me out of my trance.โHunter, wake up,โ I nudged him. Looking at his bare skin made me look down to see myself also butt-naked.โMmmmm,โ he groaned, mumbling something incoherent.A few more nudges and he still wouldnโt budge.The knocks were getting louder, and panic sets in knowing we were in my room, alone, and naked.โHunter!โ I yelled, anger and frustration rising in my tone.His head snapped awake and looked around the room, blinking.โSomeoneโs at the door,โ I finally said and his eyes looked over the door.Not waiting for his reaction, I got up and quickly chucked a simple white shirt and jogging pants on before walking to the door.I wonder who it is.Glancing over my shoulde
AVAโs POV I could feel the tip hitting my cervix painfully. But itโs the sort of pain that makes you feel hella good leaving you begging for more, which I did.โAh fuck, Hunter!โ I growled, as he continued to destroy my pussy with his long tongue. I feel something rising, and I chased that feeling while rocking and rolling my hips against him.โFasterโฆ deeper!โ I demanded and he obeyed in an instant.A crazy good, delicious sensation washed over me as I felt my hip buck, my legs shake as my orgasm tore through me. I moaned when I felt my cum squirt directly into his mouth, and he took it willingly. I hear him gulp my juices down his throat before he leans in again, licking and nipping at my sensitive clit.I felt my whole body relax on the soft pillows of my bed, suddenly aware of the sweat sliding down my back as I let out a satisfied breath.Hunter poked his head between my legs, and I giggled. He licked the last cum off the corner of his lips before crawling over to me, kissing me
AVAโs POVWhen I opened my eyes, I blinked. The feel and ambiance of the room seems quite familiar. There is no mistaking it. I am in my room? I jerked up on the bed when I hear someone groaning right beside me.I whip my head and see Hunter, without a freaking shirt on, laying on his stomach with his face buried in the pillow when he slowly tilted his head and looked at me. He squinted his eyes and I frowned.โWhat happened?โThe last thing I remember was that I shifted into my dragon, and then everything went black.He murmured something incoherent as he tried to keep his sleepy eyes open.โWhat?โ I leaned closer to hear his words clearly. Except when my face was inches away, he pulled me back down to lay on the bed before snaking his hands around my waist, pulling me closer so that my back is against him. His arms wrapped around me as he hugged me tightly, I canโt move.aโI said come back to bed,โ he murmured softly. His voice sounding like a soft whisper as he purred into my ear.
Chapter 62AVAโs POVNot taking my eyes off her, the woman who helped rescue me before I heard Hunter also came to my rescue, I turned around landing my eyes on Zane.Prophecy or not, there is one thing that needs to be done here.โYou have killed my parents, taken my pack, and now witches including my kind here are suffering in your hands,โ I gestured to the crowd.He raised a brow at me.โWhat are you implying?โLetting go of Hunterโs hand, I took a step forward towards him. I warned Hunter to stay back, noticing he was quick to react and wanted to block me from him again, but I do not want that.I can fight my own battles. I do not need a man to protect me.Hunter nodded in understanding but remained close.After making sure Hunter is in control, I turned back my attention to Zane whoโs looking at me now with a more serious expression.โThe nightcrawlers,โ I said.A collective gasp filled the air as if I have said something taboo. I glanced at them.So even they are not aware of wh
AVAโs POVValkerie played her memories as she made her own negotiations with Zanicus.โThis isnโt good. The prophecy would not be fulfilled so long as Zanicus holds onto his obsession with Coraline,โ sheโd said to me.I snapped my head up at her words. โYou knew her?โValkerie hummed, โShe was my master before you, Ava,โMy eyes grew wide at the revelation. Coraline was a dragon shifter? Whatโs more, I learned another thing about Valkerie.โif you were alive and was even Coraโs dragon counterpart, that means youโre an immortal soul. I read that you can choose your own counterpart, so why choose me?โFor a moment, she paused.โYouโre a lot like her,โ she said, a smile in her voice.โWhat, because I am her reincarnation?โ I asked, wanting to roll my eyes.โSheโs a hybrid, just like you. And because she was not only a witch and a dragon shifter, sheโs a vampire as well. Thatโs what made her powerful, and feared by the alpha king himself. But she didnโt think she was that powerful, just l
