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 doesn’t say anything for at least two seconds. “What? Got a lockjaw or something?” I raise my brow, narrowing my gaze at him who should be fucking aware my patience is drifting. Knowing I’m the only one who doesn’t have a fucking clue about what’s all this is about pisses me the fuck off. “Ava’s in trouble,” 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
AVA If looks could kill, Scarlet would be over ten times dead right now. With the way Hunter is looking daggers at the side of her head, I'm surprised Scarlet's head is still perfectly intact. His glowing amber eyes burned with a desire for blood as he glowered over her, lips twitching in annoyance, confusing the hell out of me even more. Didn’t Scarlet just say Hunter is her boyfriend? I’m not sure if it’s his way of showing admiration, but I do know that if my boyfriend ever looks at me like that, I’d run for the hills without a kiss and a goodbye. Whatever. I want to scream. My mouth itching to tell both of them to fuck right off so they could settle whatever it is going on between them. And why do I have to partake? It’s not like any of his affairs is my business, anyways. “Fuck off, Scar.” My mouth falls slightly open when Hunter says the same thing I’d been screaming in my head seconds ago. The only difference was it’s directed to both of them and not just her. “Can’t d
AVAWithout another word, Hunter moves swiftly away from the lockers, passing by his two friends whose names I'm guessing are Preston and Gomorey. They had been gawking at Hunter with a mischievous grin playing on their lips, and Hunter didn't waste a chance to shoot them both with his penetrating glare. I noticed their pupils retrench as they stared at him, meaning they were conversing with each other through mindlink. It was brief, lasting a couple of seconds before Hunter turns left and straight down the now-empty halls. Before we did, I had stolen a glance back at Scarlet, who eyed me with unspeakable murder gleaming lustrously in her eyes. The blue hues around her irises slowly turning blood-red, making my eyes extend to impossible lengths as her grin widens dangerously. Like a warning that fucking meant she'd be coming for me. I hadn't stared at her long enough to confirm whether my mind was just playing tricks on me or not. But I know what I saw. I feel my heart thundering ber
AVASwoosh! Clang!I shift my gaze, staring at Hunter's back as he rummaged through the drawers hurriedly. Tossing and throwing stuff he finds useless to the floor, creatint the swooshing and clanging sounds as he goes. Hunter groans, moving away from each one then proceeding to swing open the white painted wooden cabinets. God, does he have to be so aggressive?And what is he looking for?Suddenly he stops, his head raised staring at something sitting on the top cabinet. It sat between two unlabeled boxes, huge in size making it look like it's on the verge of death. One light touch and those boxes would fall to their demise and onto the floor. Reaching ovee, he grabs the red bag before striding straight up towards me.My eyes darted at the first-aid kit in his hand. My face somewhat glum as I stared blankly at Hunter who pulled out a chair to accomodate his ass, sitting himself across from me."Give me your hand," his tone coming out firm and commanding, and I would rather not do wha
AVA Sasha didn't lie though. Without another word, she rushed up to me and gently tended to my wounds, helping my body heal faster. Her actions might have been gentle but the murderous glare she was throwing at me for the past thirty minutes says another. After she was done, she stood right up and headed straight for the door, opening it wide before stepping aside. Placing her hand on her hip, She makes a full 180 then shoots me a glare. It's no different with the glare she's been making me swallow earlier. So despite my wounds still aching, I push down all pride and rose slowly from the bed. I already knew she wants me to leave, yet she insists on rubbing it on my face when she screams. "Get out! If Hunter didn't threaten to stop fucking me forever, I would have kicked your ass here in a snap of my fingers!" Her words stung; I admit. Making me realize that being Hunter's mate doesn't mean he'll stop jumping from woman to woman whenever he please. Limping my way to the door, hand
HUNTER’s 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, “Fuck me. Now.” 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. “You ready?” 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 68HUNTER’s POV“You’re going to be alright, Ava, I promise,” I whispered, lowering my head to her ear.I watched as her eyes closed slowly, her body growing limp in my arms.“Shit!” Brock cussed beside me, his eyes on Ava who had just fallen into a deep sleep.“You need to move fast, or else she’ll be stuck in a coma,” 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.“What could be done? Tell me!” 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.“Calm down, let him speak,” I said calmly and slowly for Theo to hear.His wife hurried to help him up, and Theo glared at me.
AVA’s 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. “I am so glad you made it,” she whispered and I can’t help but notice the happiness in her tone. I smiled, hugging her back. “I’m a dragon, remember?” 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. She’s 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 66HUNTER’s POVIt hasn’t 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. I’m 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 who’s 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 ago“How about we make a deal, then?”Zane stopped, in the middle of his conversation with Sabrina, before he turned around facing me.“What kind of de
AVA’s 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.“Hunter, wake up,” I nudged him. Looking at his bare skin made me look down to see myself also butt-naked.“Mmmmm,” he groaned, mumbling something incoherent.A few more nudges and he still wouldn’t budge.The knocks were getting louder, and panic sets in knowing we were in my room, alone, and naked.“Hunter!” I yelled, anger and frustration rising in my tone.His head snapped awake and looked around the room, blinking.“Someone’s at the door,” 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
AVA’s POV I could feel the tip hitting my cervix painfully. But it’s the sort of pain that makes you feel hella good leaving you begging for more, which I did.“Ah fuck, Hunter!” 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.“Faster… deeper!” 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
AVA’s 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.“What happened?”The 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.“What?” 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 can’t move.a“I said come back to bed,” he murmured softly. His voice sounding like a soft whisper as he purred into my ear.
Chapter 62AVA’s 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.“You have killed my parents, taken my pack, and now witches including my kind here are suffering in your hands,” I gestured to the crowd.He raised a brow at me.“What are you implying?”Letting go of Hunter’s 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 who’s looking at me now with a more serious expression.“The nightcrawlers,” 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
AVA’s POVValkerie played her memories as she made her own negotiations with Zanicus.“This isn’t good. The prophecy would not be fulfilled so long as Zanicus holds onto his obsession with Coraline,” she’d said to me.I snapped my head up at her words. “You knew her?”Valkerie hummed, “She was my master before you, Ava,”My eyes grew wide at the revelation. Coraline was a dragon shifter? What’s more, I learned another thing about Valkerie.“if you were alive and was even Cora’s dragon counterpart, that means you’re an immortal soul. I read that you can choose your own counterpart, so why choose me?”For a moment, she paused.“You’re a lot like her,” she said, a smile in her voice.“What, because I am her reincarnation?” I asked, wanting to roll my eyes.“She’s a hybrid, just like you. And because she was not only a witch and a dragon shifter, she’s a vampire as well. That’s what made her powerful, and feared by the alpha king himself. But she didn’t think she was that powerful, just l
