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“Try not to wear that pathetic expression, you are sucking the joy out of the room for everyone else,” my stepmother hissed into my ear. Each word that came out of her mouth was more painful than the last.I forced a smile, brittle and hollow. It felt foreign on my face, a mask I wore to survive this nightmare. My eyes burned, but I refused to let the tears fall. Not here. Not now.“You may now kiss the bride,” the priest announced. The room stilled for a heartbeat as the groom leaned in, his face with happiness. His lips brushed hers in a kiss so tender it felt like mockery.The crowd erupted in applause, their cheers booming through the room. Around me, smiles beamed, hands clapped, and voices shouted congratulations. I clapped too, forcing my shaking hands to mimic their rhythm. But inside, I was sad, angry too. This was the man I had loved. The man I had vowed to spend my life with—Alpha Robertson Hastings. My husband. And now, he was holding my sister as if she were

Ava's Pov“Make it stop!” I muttered, clutching my head as a sharp pain throbbed behind my eyes. Each ring of my phone seemed to drill deeper, increasing the ache.Who could be calling me so early? The question barely registered in my mind. But then—suddenly—I felt a bit of clarity, like a switch flipping. My eyes flew open, and I sat up straight, heart pounding as a strange panic found its way up my chest. I scanned the room, suddenly feeling strange. “What the…?” I whispered, confusion taking over my kind. “Where the hell am I?”I clutched my pounding head, trying to make sense of my surroundings. I was in a room that felt foreign, almost impossible to understand. It was hard to process how I had even ended up here. “What is going on?” I grumbled, looking down to find my clothes scattered across the floor, yet I was completely alone in the room.I gasped, my mouth falling open at the sight in front of me. I wanted to remember what had happened, but my mind was blank—like my memory h

Ava's Pov I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, nor could I tell if the universe was playing a cruel trick on me at that moment.I was pregnant? I asked myself just to be sure as I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands that clearly showcased double lines.Three weeks had passed since that entire event. Robert had made sure to stay distant from me, avoiding me like the plague, while Betty hadn’t wasted any time in making my life a living hell.I had been feeling a little off, a little sick. At first, I thought it was just the effect of the stress my unfortunate sister and vile mother had been putting me under, but then I realized it wasn’t that at all. Instead, I was pregnant!Curiosity prompted me to take the test, and this is what I found out? How? Just how has this happened? A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts, and I quickly scurried to hide the pregnancy test away. A maid walked in and said, “Madam Betty has requested your presence downstairs.” I nodded, understanding t

Ava’s Pov“Silence!” The voice of Councilman John boomed across the room. Chaos had erupted in the council chamber, and everyone was desperate to diffuse the situation in any way they could. Everyone had come to testify against me.My mother, my sister Betty, even the maids in the house claimed they had seen me sneaking around with wolfsbane. “I have always tried to raise my daughter with love…” My mother began, fake tears rolling down her cheeks as she wiped them with the back of her hand. “If I had known she would grow to hate her sister so much, even going as far as harming her and killing the heir out of jealousy… What kind of a child are you?” She shouted at me, bursting into tears that I could clearly see were fake.Ever since the incident, I had been locked away in a cold cell for days, barely given anything to eat. No matter how many times I begged and pleaded, claiming to have nothing to do with the terrible thing that happened to my sister and her child, nobody believed me.

Ava's PovSuddenly, my life felt like a movie. Everything was happening so fast that I barely had time to process it all. Lycan Iris? My one-night stand was now the father of the child I was carrying. What was going on? Was I stuck in some kind of dream with no way out? I couldn’t stop questioning myself. “Impossible!” Councilman John’s voice boomed across the room. “You can’t just show up here out of nowhere and make demands, Lycan Iris. This woman was responsible for killing the future heir of this pack. She has to be punished, and we cannot simply let you take her away.” I saw Lycan Iris’s eyes darken. His expression became so intimidating that it sent chills down my spine. Even Councilman John looked uncomfortable. From his face, I could tell he was shaken by the look Lycan Iris had just given him. “Remember years ago,” Lycan began, his voice steady, “when I stepped down from the alpha position for my brother? I believe I stood in this very council room then…” He took a st

Ava’s Pov "U… us?" I managed to get the words out, even though I could barely control the stammer that followed. He wanted to talk about us? Was there even an us? He and I held eye contact, my heart pounding so fast I could barely keep up. And my wolf... she stirred inside me, restless, almost uncontrollable. His eyes lingered on me, starting with mine before dropping lower. Lower and lower, until they landed on my lips. Nervously, I bit down on them, and I saw his eyes darken. It was like he wanted to give in, to close the space between us. Oddly enough, I didn’t find the thought strange. In fact, I welcomed it. What the hell was wrong with me? My thoughts were a mess. “T… that night... you took advantage of me when I was vulnerable, didn’t you? You just decided to have your way with me,” I said, my voice trembling. He let out a low chuckle, his hand slowly reaching for my hair. Gently, he tucked it behind my ear. "I’m not the type to take advantage," he murmured, his voi

Ava's Pov You want us to do what?” The haze clouding my mind from kissing him vanished in an instant. My senses snapped back, and I immediately pushed myself off him. Iris or rather, Lycan Iris didn’t seem fazed. His expression had turned cold, serious, as if he meant every word. He wanted to marry me? And he looked completely serious about it. “Are you being serious right now?” I asked, needing to hear it again, just to be sure. His gaze darkened. “I don’t say things I am not sure about,” he said, reaching for a glass of alcohol I hadn’t even noticed on the table beside him. He poured himself a drink, his movements calm. “I want to marry you. And I mean it.” “Why?” The shock was clear in my voice. I took a deep breath, trying to make sense of it. “Why would you want to marry me? We are practically strangers. It doesn’t make any sense.”“Because I can,” he said, his tone indifferent, almost lazy. “Besides, it feels good to take something that belongs to my brother. 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

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:“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

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 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 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
