AVA"You were listening?" I couldn't keep myself from asking.It is considered a huge disrespect to disobey an alpha's orders, especially one who owns the strongest pack known to were kind.He nodded, taking a step further into the room and checking if Alpha Marcus has already gone, then locked the door before facing me."Ava, it pains me to say this but, I appreciate Hunter for what he has been doing for us," He said in a slightly softer voice, surprising even me because my dad never shows vulnerability. Ever."But why here?" I don't understand... Why did Hunter choose this place to put my parents in when the Alpha of our own pack could have arranged some place for us to move into? I don't know much of the details because I was never bothered to dig up old stuff but I was sure my father was the Alpha's best friend in the past. They were inseparable, I had heard. So why is it when it came to dad's time of need, the alpha didn't give a damn to even lend a hand? Dad opened his lips lik
AVA I felt my face heat up at the closeness between us. The last time he was this close, I had imagined myself rocking him in a way I never did with Axel. No, not even close. I pressed my lips into a line, lifting my chin as I gawk at the one and only Greek God of Werewolf High. His blue and green specked eyes didn’t blink, neither did he remove his gaze from mine. He’s panting, looking deeply into my soul and I can’t look away. My gaze falls on his plump bottom lip, and instantly I wondered whether it tastes good as it looks from the outside. Damn. What I wouldn’t give to run my tongue along his neck, biting his earlobes until they bleed. “Ava,” his voice came out low, husky, and so fucking sexy. Oh, fuck! I scold myself. He’s Hunter Ysrael. The play boy, fuck boy, asshole man whore in Werewolf High… But he’s also apparently my goddess-given mate, the one who saved my ass a couple of times and went all out to find a safe place for my parents to stay. For the past few weeks we l
AVAWhat the fuck just happened?"Get off me," I stumble in my words, shoving him off.He gives me my space and I force my body up and off the bed. I ran to the body mirror I first spotted when I entered the room.The moment I stepped in front of my reflection, my eyes widened in both horror and shock.I whirled around, glaring daggers at Hunter. His blue eyes met my lavender ones, and I clench my fists in sheer anger."What the fuck was that for?" I spat, taking an intimidating step towards him before pointing at my neck.His expression turned serious."Would you rather my father give you that mark? If so, be my guest," he squared his shoulders, straightening from the bed.I scoffed at his words. How dare he use that crap on me?"Whether it was you or your father, neither of you had the right to do what you just did so casually," I growled, frustration getting the better of me. Although my wolf is all but frustrated about being marked right now. If anything, Moon is head over heels ab
AVA"Nothing happened, Dad. I promise," I explain, chomping down my lower lip as we sauntered into the hallway and into an empty room.Well, at least nothing too extreme.Closing the door behind him, he narrowed his gaze at me before crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. His jaw twitched. "I expected more out of you, Ava.." he said, shaking his head. I clenched my teeth, looking down at my feet in embarrassment. I know my Dad hates Hunter, his guts, and for everything he is. But I don't understand why he could not recognize the mate bond Hunter and I share, the exact same thing that changed his life because he didn't want to sacrifice it for the sake of prestige. I looked at him with a hurt look in my eyes. "Gee, sorry dad. It's not like he's my mate or anything..." I mumbled and that made his brow rise even higher."Don't give me that excuse, Ava. Alpha Ysrael alone, is dangerous. He's a man with dark secrets and shady business with the nightcrawlers. What more could we
CHAPTER 68HUNTERI sniffed the air. The subtle fragrance of moonflowers and wild lilies laced in the air, overwhelming me. My body is relaxed and my mind is clear.Peace. The only scent that offered me peace was the one that my mother always wore, at least when she was still healthy and alive.It was the only thing that made my life… beautiful. Worthy.I let out a deep breath and slowly peeled my eyes open.I pulled my brows when I came to full recognition, allowing me to take in my surroundings.“The fuck…?”The last thing I remember was Ava, sleeping soundly in my arms on the bed. I believed I marked her. It was the only way to get out of this shit I’m stuck in with that cunt Scarlet, as well as her father, and mine.But the problem is, she’s not here.I glared at my surroundings. Red-colored walls, a black ceiling, and glass furniture scattered in the room.What the fuck happened? Why am I here?“Good morning, sweetie,” a soft voice whispers in my ear. My eyes widening in full ale
AVAMy eyes dart to Marcus' whose icy blue ones pin me with a murderous glare."Big mistake, little one," I hear him snarl as Dad remains in his fighting stance."You can't have her," Dad growls back, his voice low and deadly he'd be mistaken as an alpha himself.Alpha Marcus sneers, lifting his head and meeting my Dad's gaze dead ahead."I take you into my pack, feed you, protect you, put you under my roof. And yet, this is how you repay me?" He grumbles, sounding disappointed."I will not sell off my daughter as payment for your... generosity, Alpha," my dad says in reply.My mother gapes between the men and looks at me in fear. Fear of losing me."You don't have to pay him back either," My head snaps in the direction of that voice, my heart thumping in my chest as I spot Hunter trudging down the stairs. His weight crushing down every step. His eyes hardened when they locked on Marcus, but softened when his gaze shifted to me. Alpha Marcus chuckled mockingly. "I gave them this p
AVAI could still smell his scent, intoxicating me, leaving me breathless and dizzy as I fantasize him leaning down and pressing his lips against mine. I want to curl my fingers and tug on his pirch-black locks, feel his tongue run across every inch of my skin, devouring me until I pass out in euphoria.'You're mine,' his words and deep, rugged voice starts invading my mind, playing over and over and it doesn't stop.Am I going crazy? "MS. AVA WILLIAMS!" A sharp stick slapped on my desk, startling me.I looked up only to find Ms. Crow glaring daggers at me with her eyebrow raised. "Won't you tell us why you've been spacing out for the last thirty minutes in my class? Hm?" She tilted her head, faking a sweet voice that made bile rise in my throat. Ms. Crow is known as the lady terror in the whole academy. She is incredibly popular for humiliating students that goes along with her bitch ass attitude even for all things meaningless."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"Snorts and snick
HUNTERAfter I left the house, I headed straight for home to take a shower and changed into a simple black suit with a black tie. All attendants of a council meeting must adhere to rules. Rules I don't really give a shit about if it isn't the only opportunity I see to declare a challenge. "The Alpha expects to see you at the meeting," Sebastian our butler announced as I exited my room.I scoffed. "Tell him he doesn't need to wait for me. We will go separately," I said as an order to which Bastian responded to with a small nod.Turning to the mirror, I stared at my reflection with hard determination in my eyes. I got them from my mother, the same reason my father couldn't stand the sight of me, punishing me for it.I clenched my fists. My graduation isn't coming up until the next few months. Initially, I had wanted to finish school before taking the pack by my father by force. But times changed. I need to hurry. I would rather kill than watch my mother's pack burn down to ashes und
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
