AVA’s POVNodding my head, I pulled down the door and rose to my feet. The look of hope in her eyes as she waited for the door to close between us was etched into my mind. I couldn’t take it off my head as I dashed to the forest.My wolf was pawing at the back of my mind, begging me to release her and the anger throbbing in our veins.Stepping on a tree branch, I snapped my head to look behind me when a thunderous growl ripped the heavens above, causing the clouds to crack and thunder release from the sky.Somehow, I could feel anger pulsing through me. I knew it was not mine, but Zane’s. And he’s livid.My heart drummed wildly in my chest as I rushed through the bushes, looking for a clearing or a way out.He found out quickly, I was missing. I tried to run faster, but my human legs were growing weaker. Probably because of some spell he cast onto me without me knowing. Witches, after all, are known for their crafty and deceitful ways.A collective laughter sounding from behind me sud
Chapter 57HUNTER’s POV‘She’s not here,’ my wolf growled and my eyes dart in every direction.I didn’t doubt my wolf, but then why would the portal send me here?I don’t have time for this. Stupid fucking portal. I’d just find my own way back, ,or try conjuring up another one of those stupid portals.It’s been days, and I am not making any progress. I need to find her or else my wolf would go hella crazy, and me.I stealthily made my way around the castle, since I have entered through the gate I didn’t see a single person around. What kind of castle even is this?Looking around, I squinted. As if that would help me see a lot better.Suddenly, I saw a huge red door not far from me. It must be an exit. Guess I need to get out of here before someone finds me.My senses tell me I am in the wrong territory, yet it tells me I’m in the right one at the same time.I could feel magic flowing in here in waves. Strong magic.Strange, I just learned about this sorcerer thing, but I feel like I h
AVA’s POV‘Looks like there will be bloodshed,’ Moon murmured, oddly I hear a smile in her words, and I do not like it.When we got to the main gate, first thing I noticed was there was no one guarding the main door, not even the gates.Where the hell is everyone? I sure as hell did not just go through that tunnel just to find out I didn’t have to.My wolf came to an abrupt halt, sniffing the air.‘Mate,’ she confirmed, and I could not help the excitement surging through me in this moment.My gut clenches, and I had to admit. I want to see him. God, it had only been weeks, but it felt like a year being apart from him. We didn’t have to fight, and I guess I didn’t need to run away. Maybe all of this wouldn’t have happened.‘Stop them, Ava,’ Valkerie’s voice overrode my thoughts, snapping me back instantly to reality.I don’t know what’s Valkerie was thinking but I trusted her.Slamming the doors wide open right after I finished shifting, I took in a deep breath as I could before prepar
AVA’s POVHunter grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him, and the sudden skin contact sent electrocuting waves all over me. I looked at him in my peripheral. His masculine scent wasn’t much help in keeping me distracted, even with all the ruckus and chaos surrounding us.I clenched my legs together and glued my eyes to the floor, trying to stop the scent of my arousal form reaching any part of his body that looked sumptuously delicious. Who am I kidding? Every part of him is heavenly. I gulped.I heard a growl and flinched when Hunter suddenly pulled me by the arm, inching closer to my ear as he whispered, “I could smell your arousal a mile away,’ he purred.I blushed and tried pushing him away but to no avail. So I tried my best glaring daggers at him instead but the way he looked at me with the same passion and intensity made me want to grab his neck and kiss him. Hard.“Sabrina!” his disapproving voice boomed across the entire hall with mighty vengeance.I pulled my gaze away f
VALKERIE’S POV ‘Valkerie? What are you doing?’ my master, who I have been watching since the day she was born, whispered from the back of my mind, or rather, her mind. This is her body after all, and once we fulfilled the prophecy, this body will be mine no longer. I sent her a feeling of reassurance. It’s something only dragons could do to their human counterparts. She felt it, and retreated, giving me some space to focus on getting used to this body enough so I can move. Turning my attention back to Zanicus, I met his penetrating gaze head on. “I’ve missed you,” I said genuinely, knowing that it would be the first thing she would have said if Coraline really was here. I know this is cruel, but it’s the only thing I could do. I am the white dragon, and I have a role to finish. The prophecy is waiting for me to fulfill, yet here we are, stuck in this constant chase of cat and mouse all because Zanicus wouldn’t let go. I have lived for centuries, jumping from one shifter to the
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
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 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.
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
