HUNTER’s POVWe decided to go somewhere private to talk since Elder Dmitri is listening in to the conversation. For all I know he’s that man’s eyes and ears.Elder Dmitri didn’t like it but luck was on our side as he was summoned back to the council. He left in a huff and we left the arena.I looked back to see my father limping behind us. The moment he submitted to me I felt the power of alpha enter my body instantly. It was a new feeling and everyone from my pack all bowed to me out of respect, recognizing my dominance and authority over my aura. Whereas they simply ignored my dad and no one even bothered to help him. Some even bumped into him and didn’t care to mutter a word of apology nor the decency to look back. It was like he has become invisible the moment I became the true alpha of Cruelcrest Hounds Pack.I sighed and went over to him to help him walk but he growled, refusing to take my hand.“I’m getting you to a doctor,” I say but he smacks my hand when I try to take his ar
HUNTER’s POV“… Your daughter is the white dragon from the prophecy,” I say and finally exhale.Glad that’s over with.My wolf whines suddenly and I ask him what his problem is but he just whines.I looked up at all the faces staring at me right now, oh shit.My eyes fell on Theo whose face has already turned red and he looks like he is going to burst any moment. I was right because the next, I hear him make a sound which seemed more like a fart to me.“Pfffft,” he is unable to hold it in and began to cackle loudly like a demon released from his cage.“Ha ha haa, you’re quite the entertainment, pup,” he snorted and wiped away tears that sprung from his eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him.“That would be Alpha Hunter, thank you,’ which made him stop and glare right at me, tilting his head.“Alright, Alpha. Would you please tell us the fucking truth so I could start looking for my daughter. I could take a joke or two, but I will not tolerate you making a joke out of my daughter saying that
AVA’s POVI sit in the darkness, alone.Looking around, I figured this must be the place where my wolf resides in when I have the control. So I call stood and call out for her.“Moon? Are you there?” No response.I keep calling and tried calling Valkerie but it’s still the same. So I keep walking around trying to find a way out but every path leads to a dead end.I groaned, my head pounding.What on earth happened? The last thing I remember was Zane mumbling something as he looked at me strangely. Like he was casting a spell or something. I don’t remember what happened next but I woke up and found myself wandering in the darkness.I kept walking until I realized that this is never going to end.I fall to my knees, sobbing. Well I guess I’m stuck here. I sighed and pulled my knees to my chest, hugging it as I let all my tears just slip freely from my eyes.I wonder what is Hunter doing right now. He won the challenge, so I guess he finally got what he always wanted. I’m never going to
HUNTER’s POVWe all turned to Brock who stood and brought back a huge book with ancient markings on it.Where did he even get that from?Dropping the book on the table, everyone sitting around it either coughed or pinched their nose as dust blasted through the air around us.“Oops, sorry,” Brock uttered as he opened the book.He flips through the pages until he stopped and looked like he found what he was searching for.“Oh, here it is,” he says and points at a passage on the book.“Seekers are born with a gift, the power to control magic and conjure anything they so wish. The moon goddess appoints seekers who are purest by blood, heart, and soul. One way to identify a seeker is through… a test. One that requires dragon magic,” he reads and looks at me.I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms.“What test?”I feel my eyebrow raising higher as Brock snaps the book in his hand and grins.He puts the book on the table, never taking his eyes off me. Suddenly, I felt strange. This isn’t the n
AVA’s POV“Wait!” I yelled and ran after her. She giggles as she looks back every other time as if to check if I was still there, and I was, following her.“Where… where are we going?” I huffed as I panted. I’m beginning to think I am getting old. My back hurts and I feel my body growing weaker the faster I ran after her.It was still dark, I couldn’t see anything besides it yet the girl was running off like she could see a path.She looked back and smiled seeing me so exhausted.“You’ll see,” she giggled and jumped mid-air before I caught her shift. My eyes widened in realization and I stopped.Did she just shift?I pinch my brows, watching her as she makes a graceful landing and turns back around facing me. The sight making me gasp.She is a fox. A three-eyed fox at that.This is the first time I saw a witch shift, and I’m not sure but… isn’t that supposed to be forbidden? I remember this one class I had all about history and witchcraft and whatnot. I wasn’t really paying attention
HUNTER’s POVBrock, Jared, Syria, and I are in the library. Axel and Amy offered to help too so I just let them do whatever they want. I couldn’t say no when they looked at me with determination, telling me that they want to help find Ava as soon as possible. I smiled and nodded.I walked past Axel, not saying a word to him unless necessary. He’s the reason why were in this shit in the first place. Kissing my mate just because he’d probably been wanting to since they first met, but was suddenly determined the moment I came along.He must have noticed that I was keeping my distance since he excused himself from the others and walked up to me.“Hey, can I talk to you for a second?” he asks, whispering.I raise a brow at him. “Why?”He sighs and looks over his shoulder to glance at Amy, his mate, who seems to be asking Syria something I couldn’t make out.“I just wanted to apologize,” he whispers, turning back around to face me.I kept my eyes pinned on the shelf and looked over the book
HUNTER's POV Pacing back and forth for the hundredth time now, I skid to a stop and fix my gaze on Syria who is now sitting on the black leather couch in my office. Yeah, my office. I wasn't expecting Dad to order the omegas to remove all his things and redecorate everything according to my liking. It was like a whole new him, and with the way he was spending so much time and effort transferring everything to my account it felt like he really wanted to make it up to me. I couldn't say no to him after he cashed eight billion dollars to my account, saying I should use it to make all necessary changes in the pack once the Alpha ceremony is done with. I thanked him but I couldn't get myself to concentrate knowing Ava is is danger somewhere. He understood, so in the meantime he is in charge of the pack. Sighing, I spin around and look at Syria in the eye. "I still don't trust you," I say, my eyes narrowing at her, my arms crossed against my chest and she heaves out a sigh. "I understa
SEVIKA’s POVWell that was easy. The hybrid seems to be asleep. Just show here a simple act of kindness, then give her a little candy before luring her into my trap. I giggled, watching her look around her tiny little bubble space in confusion. Little does she know she’s going to rot in that small box and eventually lose her mind. She’ll forget everything she ever was, everything she is supposed to be.Since master gave me permission, I was able to get access to her mind and lock up her wolf. For some reason I can’t find her damn dragon.That one is getting into my nerves. I told master I locked up both her counterparts successfully and he was pleased. I can’t mess up now.I heard of different kinds of hybrids, those that my master lock up. There are vampires, wolves, but never dragons. The news sent all witches and sorcerers on edge. Dragons were the source of our magic, making us their descendants.But this shouldn’t be a problem, it’s just an ordinary dragon. Nothing more.And afte
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
