Cast Aside, Claimed By The Lycan Chapter 018
Ava’s Pov I flopped onto the massive bed, staring up at the ceiling. My brain was fried. I needed a second to breathe, to figure out my next move.And then, just like that, Betty’s stupid message popped back into my head, all annoying and intrusive, like a song you can’t get rid of.Ugh.Okay. Maybe a cold shower would help shut my brain up for a bit.I was halfway to the bathroom when a knock on the door made me freeze. My heart did this stupid little jump, and for a second, I thought it was Iris again.What now? Did he change his mind about the whole "separate rooms" thing?Shaking off the thought, I cleared my throat. “Come in.”The door opened, but instead of a tall, ridiculously good looking Lycan, two maids walked in, their arms full of shopping bags.“Apologies for the disturbance, ma’am,” one of them said politely. “Mr. Iris asked us to drop these off for you.”“Oh,” I blinked, then let out a small laugh. Wow, look at me, jumping to conclusions. “No problem.”“Would you like

AVA'S POVMy heart pounded so hard it felt like it might break out of my chest. But I wasn’t about to let that show. Nope. I wasn’t backing down, not to Iris, not to this doctor, not to anyone.I turned to face him, crossing my arms. "Why did you bring a doctor here, Iris?" I asked, barely controlling myself from raising my voice. "I already told you, I don’t need one.""Ava, come on," he said, sighing like I was the one being unreasonable. "It is just a quick checkup. It won’t kill you."I scoffed. "No." Simple. Firm. “End of discussion.” I was totally fine, why the hell was he insisting on this checkup, it was honestly starting to get so irritating.His jaw twitched like he was trying to hold back his temper. "You shouldn’t be afraid of seeing a doctor unless you have something to hide," he said, his tone annoyingly calm. Then he tilted his head, eyes locked onto mine like he was daring me to react. "So, unless there is something you don’t want me to know, prove me wrong.”Oh, so t

AVA'S POV “I don’t know what you are talking about," I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. But yeah, it totally wobbled. Damn it. Denial was my best bet right now, too bad I was up against a doctor with eyes sharper than a lie detector.She folded her arms, giving me a look that screamed girl, please. "Don’t even try it. I know a pregnant wolf when I see one."My stomach dropped. What the actual hell? She took one look at me and just knew? Was there some kind of glowing neon sign above my head saying breeding in progress?I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly drier than the Sahara. “How… how can you tell?” My voice came out small, like I already knew I had lost this battle.The doctor’s lips curled into a smug little smile. "Ava, I have been doing this for years. I don’t need a test to spot a pregnant wolf."Well, fantastic. So much for my brilliant plan of keeping this under wraps. If she figured it out this fast, how much longer before Iris did?I leaned forward, gripping the exa

AVA'S POVI gulped, forcing a polite smile. "Yes, Miss Laurent. I am Ava, your new P.A.” My gaze stayed glued to her desk, too nervous to meet her eyes.But I could still see her from the corner of my eye; she leaned back in her chair, one perfectly manicured hand resting under her chin as she sized me up like I was some charity case that had wandered into her office by mistake.She was young, stunning, and covered in designer clothing that probably cost more than more than I will earn in the next six months. Everything about her screamed power and money, the kind that didn’t just come from a fat bank account but from knowing you could make or break people with a single sentence.She tilted her head slightly, her brows knitting together. "You look familiar… have we met before?"My heart nearly stopped.Oh, crap. She remembers.I forced a small, polite shake of my head. "I don’t think so, ma’am. I don’t recall ever seeing you before."Lie. A big, fat lie.Because I did remember her. Ve

Ava's Pov I stepped out of Cassie's office, the door closing behind me like a hammer on a nail. The restroom was the next place on my mind, a place to hide from this cruelty. I went straight to the restroom, locked the door behind me, the click echoing through the restroom. My forehead rested against the cool wood, and the tears I'd held back began to pour out from my eyes."Why me?" I whispered, the words barely audible. My mind replayed the painful experiences I have had in the past: my father's abusive behavior, his constant assault on my mother when I was little, my stepmother's evil heart, my step sister's wickedness, both of which are bent on seeing me dead, my husband's cheating lifestyle.And now, strangers who didn't even know me seemed determined to destroy me. The weight of it all crushed me, leaving me breathless.What have I done to deserve all this? I muttered as the tears ran down my cheeks.Perhaps commiting suicide would make all this problems go away? I puzzled. I

Ava's Pov I closed my eyes in absolute surrender. If this is death, so be it.Just when I thought death was about to accompany me out of my body, the car screeched to a stop. My heart pounded in my ears as I heard the car door flew open. I immediately opened my eyes, and a popular catchphrase from the series of game of thrones came to my mind. 'What do we say to the God of death? Not today,' was Arya stark's response. I couldn't see the figure that came out of the vehicle, the bright headlights still obstructed my sight.But as the person got closer to me, I knew the identity of the person, it was Iris. "Ava?" he said as he rushed over, his brow furrowed with concern. He helped me to my feet, but I was still shaking from the near death encounter."Why where you on the road, Ava?" he asked, "You fainted?"I shook my head, "No, I was pushed.""By whom?" he asked, the tone of his voice louder now."No idea, didn't see the person.""Wait here, let me check around,” he said and made a

Ava’s POV:“Sir!" Alice stuttered out but I was too embarrassed to say anything. The way Iris was looking was truly terrifying.The quick clack of heels could be heard from behind me and then Miss Laurent was standing between me and Iris but his eyes were trained on me. I had to look away and swipe out the tears running down my cheeks.“Good afternoon sir, I didn't know you were coming around our department today. Please sir, let's step into my office," Miss Laurent said to Iris, but I could still feel his gaze on me.I looked to the floor in utter humiliation. I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole. That is until a pair of shoes appeared in my line of vision.Slowly I raised my head and came face to face with Iris. He didn't look amused, well, he looked mad.“I'm going to ask you again, what the hell is going on? What happened?" Iris asked me, his voice was a tad bit gentler than when he first asked the question. I didn't know how to tell him it was nothing without betraying

Lycan Iris’s POV:I watched Ava as she slept in my arms on our ride home. My beast was raging for blood but our mate didn't share the same sentiment.First off, she lied about the doctor's assessment and the doctor collided with her. Then she tries to cover up the antics at the workplace.It seems an audit was in order.“Sir, we have arrived,” my driver said in a low tone, mindful of my sleeping mate. I looked at her face which betrayed her exhaustion earlier and nodded at my driver.“Keep driving," I said to him, At about the third trip Ava stirred in my arms."Oh! I must have dozed off. Where are we?” Ava asked me as she looked through the tinted windows. This was an area of the estate that she was yet to visit.“We are somewhere on the property. Do you want to see?" I asked her, and she gave me an adorable look before nodding her head.The driver packed the car almost immediately and I got out of the car with Ava still in my hand. She was red in the face.“Please put me down. This

Ava's POV:The ride to the pack was filled with nerves for me. I didn't exactly have an expectation for the reception I was going to get there.Just as I folded my hands in my lap, Iris intertwined our fingers.“You are too tense for someone who looks this beautiful," Iris said to me and I turned to look in his direction. My cheeks heated up at his compliment, and the feeling of my hand in his was something else."Thank you, but I can't help it. The last time I was here they were deciding my execution for a crime I didn't commit. I don't know what to expect now that we are returning as a couple," I said to Iris who nodded his head.“Fair enough, but you can't allow your nerves to get the best of you tonight. Remember to have fun while at it; I plan to,” Iris said to me, and I nodded my head. He suddenly leaned in."Do you recall that woman we saw on the sidewalk of the mall on our way out?" Iris asked me and I took a moment to think about it before nodding my head.“What do you think

Ava's POV:I walked out of the dressing room feeling unsure about the outfit that Iris had picked for me to use tonight. It was still eleven in the morning but here we were playing dress up.Well, I was the one wearing different outfits and Iris was giving each a rating.“I don't know, this seems too much. I know we need to make a statement but this is downright shameless," I said to Iris as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The emerald green gown matched my green eyes. We were yet to go for makeup which I believe was absolutely unnecessary. Why was I bothering to look good for that bastard, Rob?Iris, on the other hand, rose to his feet and approached me. My breath suddenly got stuck in my throat as he once again stepped into my space.I was immediately assaulted by his scent.“Hmm, I believe this is just perfect for what I had in mind for tonight," Iris said as he walked around me, the way his eyes moved over my skin made me pant.“It has the right touch of everything to mak

Evelyn's pov:With my heart beating loudly in my chest, I opened the door and nearly fainted when I saw that it was Alpha Rob that was standing there.How much did he hear from our conversation?!“Good evening, Alpha, we weren't expecting you. Betty is having her bath, should I call her?" I said to him, my mind running rampant with various thoughts. When his eyes glued to my direction, I gulped.“There is no need for that. We are having dinner guests tomorrow, and I thought to inform you about it now so that I won't forget,” Alpha Rob said to me, and I braced myself against the door as relief made me weak in the knees."Thank you, Alpha. Might I ask who we will be dining with tomorrow?” I asked him. "My brother,” was all he said before he turned around and left. The relief that I felt earlier was obviously short-lived because my mind ran through different scenarios.Did Lycan Iris find out that I was the one who sent Enoch after Ava? Was this a form of revenge?What the hell was I go

Ava's POV:The garden was like a scene out of a sci-fi movie. Everything was so beautifully arranged that it didn't feel real.“These are beautiful! Can I touch them? I know some plants are deceptively beautiful but will make you drop the second you touch them,” I said to Iris as I looked around at the beautiful garden. This place felt unreal."Go ahead, I'll keep you away from the toxic ones. I need you alive for the wedding,” Iris said to me and I turned to glare at him. "Whatever,” I said under my breath before continuing to peruse the view.The encounter earlier was leaving me with a warm feeling on the inside.“Keep your head on straight, don't lose your head to another man who hasn't proven his worth, even if he's richer than my former pack combined,” I said to myself in my head. Soon I was enveloped by the warmth of Iris. He was hugging me from behind.“Watch yourself, I still need my bride alive," Iris whispered in my ear. The sound of his voice at such a close proximity sen
