Ava's POV Mia's words of encouragement gave me a much-needed boost of confidence. This adventure was just too tempting to pass up. Mia led me down a winding path until we eventually arrived at the Shadow Clan's camp. “Mia, I’m scared,” I said, scanning the area of muscular men. "Don't worry," she whispered. "They are all busy today. You won't run into William." I tried to steady my nerves. “We could get caught.” “Oh stop fussing. You wouldn’t have agreed to come if you weren’t excited for the adventure of experiencing something new.” “You’re right,” I agreed. “I just couldn’t resist.” Together, we walked deeper into the camp, Mia leading the way. “This is it,” I thought. “The moment I’ve been waiting for.” As my eyes fell upon the Shadow Clan's ship, I was awestruck. “It’s so massive; I’ve never seen anything like this.” A group of shirtless Shadow Clan wolves noisily approached us. They carried crates and barrels, loading them onto the ship. “They look so strong and capabl
Ava's POV Mia and I were left feeling awestruck at the stories of the sailors. I was about to ask a sailor a question about a certain topic when I suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out to me. “Ava?” I looked up to see William approaching me, a smile on his face. "Ava, there you are!" He looked around. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was hoping to catch up with Ava." I felt my heart sink a little at the sight of William. I knew he had been asking a lot of questions lately and I have been doing my best to avoid him. I finally gathered up the courage to ask: "What is it you want, William?" "I was hoping we could talk.” I looked up at him. His voice was gentle. "I know things have been a bit tense between us lately and I just wan to clear the air." I hesitated, turning to Mia. “I thought you said that he would be away from the ship today?” I whispered to her. Mia immediately stepped in front of me, placing herself between him and I. "What do you want?" she demanded. William was
Ava's POV Over the next five days, William invited me to join him at the camp of the Shadow Clan. It was an opportunity for me to learn more about his way of life and the people he called family. “Why don't you come to Club Casablanca,” William invited one afternoon, surprising me. “Yes, why not?” I agreed and when we arrived, the place was buzzing with people and music. “Follow me.”vWilliam led me to a table at the center of the club. A waiter came towards us. “Is there anything you'd like?” William looked at me. “Do you want anything?” Shyly, I replied, “I don't know.” He looked back at the waiter and ordered drinks for us. When we were done, William asked me, “Do you want to go on a ride?” “Yes!” I couldn't control my excitement. “I mean, yes sure, if you want.” He just laughed slightly and led me to his motorcycles. He then took me on an exciting motorcycle ride through the camp. “I’ve never seen this part of the world before,” I whispered to myself. “I guess, spending
Quill's POV I had always had feelings for Ava, and had always considered her my future wife. “Why haven't I seen Ava around?” I had asked one of my Blue River Clan friends one day. “Haven't you heard?” he'd replied. “Her Dad, the Alpha had forbidden her from leaving her house because she's been seeing some of the Shadow Clan members.” He'd then added, “I have also noticed that your sister has also been meeting up with a Shadow Clan wolf.” I'd been shocked by what he said. “I’ve always considered Mia to be a level-headed and responsible woman. How come she's suddenly acting so irresponsible and getting involved with such dangerous people?” I thought. I had then frowned at him and defended my sister, “No, Mia wouldn't do that. It's a misunderstanding.” Soon I started to suspect Mia. “Mia's association with the Shadow Clan wolves is making things worse. That's probably the reason I Ava was seeing them,” I considered for a while and then decided, “I need to speak to Mia.” I went t
William's POV As Ava and Quill walked away together, I watched them with mixed emotions. "You did good out there, Boss," a familiar voice said behind me. I turned to see Thomas standing there, staring at me. "But you gotta control your temper. It's good to be passionate, but you can't let it cloud your judgment,” he finished. I nodded slowly. "I know." "And you can't let your love for Ava get in the way of what's best for the clan," Thomas added in a warning tone. I sighed heavily. "I know that too. But it's just so hard." Thomas sighed sympathetically and patted me on the shoulder. "I know, my alpha. I know." We stood there in silence for a few moments, lost in our own thoughts. "Thanks, Thomas. I appreciate it." “For what?” Thomas asked. “For always understanding me.” He smiled and patted me on the back. "Anytime, boss. Anytime." "Quill is no match for me," I murmured to myself. “I don’t consider him a threat. He only enrages me. How can my mate be engaged to another man
Ava's POV "I will be leaving soon, you can see the ship is set to sail," William said, his eyes filled with a yearning that I had never seen before. "I can't go alone. Please, come with me." I hesitated. "I don't know, William, I've never even been outside the walls of my clan's territory. I can't just leave everything I have ever known behind, not like this." I said in my head, “I love you William. I love the way you make me feel but I can't leave my family. I just can't.” "But you've always been so curious about the outside world," William argued, the look in his eyes almost persuading me. "You've been asking me questions about it since we met. Now, I’m giving you the chance to finally see it for yourself. Don't you want that?" I was silent for a moment, lost in thought. “William has a point,” I said to myself. “I have always wanted to explore and learn about everything around me. The outside world is a mystery to me and I can only wonder what it would be like.” "I do not know,
Ava's POV It had been a long journey from my house to the ship. “I'm hungry… and tired,” William said and I heard my stomach rumble. “Yes, me too, “ I replied but then the feelings both disappeared when I spotted Mia waiting for us on the deck. "Mia, I'm so glad to see you!" I rushed over to hug her. She grinned and hugged me back, tighter. "It's good to see you too, my dearest friend!" "Is everything prepared for the journey?" William asked, looking around the deck. Mia nodded. "Everything’s ready. We're just waiting for the captain to give the order to set sail." Just then, Captain James emerged from his cabin and gave a nod to William and I. Then turned to his crew. "Alright, everyone, we are ready to set sail!" he announced. Then he looked at me and Mia. "Welcome to the Crimson Tide, newcomers! I hope you're ready for an adventure of a lifetime." We nodded, our hearts racing with anticipation. “Yes, we sure are!” Mia spoke for the both of us. “I have no idea what to exp
Ava's POV One day, as we were standing on the deck, William put his hand on my shoulder and said gently, “Ava, I understand that this all must feel strange and new to you. But I promise, you have nothing to be worried about. We’re your friends, and we’re here for you.” I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. “Thank you, William. That means a lot to me.” The Crystal Tide was sailing through the open seas, and William and I gazed up at the stars. William looked like his mind was lost in deep thought. "It's funny, you know?" I said, breaking the silence that had settled between us. "I never would have imagined this is how my life would turn out. Floating on a ship in the middle of nowhere, looking at the stars." "Me neither," William replied, turning to look at me with a smile. "But it's a good life, isn't it? I mean, there are moments like this, when I can just sit and forget all my worries, and it makes everything else seem so trivial." I nodded in agreement. "Yeah. It's like the w
William's POV“Good morning Ava,” I greeted her, setting the tray of bread on the bed side table.She squinted her eyes adorably and yawned, stretching lazily. The sun rose slowly over the horizon, casting a warm orange glow through the window, around the room and enhancing the features of Ava's face and her curvy body.“Good morning, William,” she said in a tired voice and sat up. She then smiled at me for a while as I adjusted the food on the tray. “You look really handsome today.”I raised the corners of his lips to a smirk and brought the tray to her.She turned to look at me wide eyed, her long beautiful hair was a mess but it still looked beautiful—she still looked beautiful. Like my perfect Ava.“William, breakfast in bed? You did not have to,” she said with a loving voice.“But I wanted to,” I replied, smiling at her, gratitude evident in my eyes. “And you deserve it, Ava.”She sat up and let me feed it into her mouth.“It tastes like the spicy bread we ate yesterday. Did you
Ava's POV William and I arrived in Casablanca in Morocco and we decided to take a stroll and explore the a e before retiring to the ship. “Oh William!” I called. “William! I want to try those!” I pointed to a bunch of native snacks piled up at a store. They looked delicious. “William, I want them please,” I begged. “They look delicious. let us go,” he said and we walked over to the store and selected a bunch of snacks and ate. “So tasty,” I said with a full mouth. “What next?” “We try out those ones,” he said pointing to another mouth watering food at another stall. “Oh my, William, I can not wait!” I sampled different foods, one stall after the other. “Be careful or you will get sick,” William joked and I blushed. “it is my honeymoon, I can eat whatever I want,” I demanded but then, I felt a cramp in my stomach and stopped right as I was chewing. I looked up to meet him watching me with amusement. “What were you saying?” I dropped the snack. “Maybe you are right. I will ju
Ava's POV “I wonder why your Dad called us all of a sudden,” William told me, getting ready to leave. “I am not sure but at least now that I know he likes you, I am not feeling a bit worried,” I said smiling up at him. William nodded. “you are right. He most likely wants to discuss some of our Clan's issues. it is really stressful, you know. Being an Alpha, I have to stay and take care of my Clan. I can not even have some time to myself,” he complained with a sigh. “But, it is not like I hate it. I love my Clan and they make my work easier by always complying and doing the right thing. They also work hard.” I smiled and planted a kiss on him. “you are a great Alpha.” We made our way to meet my Dad. “Where's Robert, the Alpha?” William asked a maid and she pointed to the meeting room. “He's in the meeting room. He said if you two come, you should go meet him in there,” the maid said. “Thank you.” The maid nodded and left. I said, voice barely above a whisper to him, “I told yo
Mia's POV I could not wait any longer. “Thomas, I want you inside me right now.” As if I had just said the words he had been waiting for his whole life, he raised the corners of his lips to a smirk darkly at me and stepped forward, closing the distance between the both of us. “With pleasure, darling.” Before we knew it, I already reached in to Thomas’ trousers and pulled out his big, hard, throbbing cock My voice quivered with anticipation as I said, voice barely above a whisper, "I have been longing for this moment." Thomas responded huskily, "Me too, Mia. let us make every second count." We embarked on a sex journey, exploring each other's bodies with an insatiable hunger. Our gasps and moans filled the hut, creating a symphony of ecstasy as we planted a kiss on and licked each other. “I love having you from behind,” he said, voice barely above a whisper as he rammed into me. “I love seeing your cunt stretch out and grab my cock. I love seeing your ass bounce and ripple up you
Mia's POV I approached Thomas who was on the beach, standing next to the shore and watching the waves. The sun set slowly below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the sea and enhancing the features of Thomas’ face. “Thomas, you wanted to talk to me?” I said as I approached him. He looked back and saw me, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. “Yes, I can not believe you came.” I walked closer to him. “I decided to hear you out. I was not being fair.” He nodded. “thank you so much.” We sat there in silence for a while. “So, what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked, trying to maintain a casual voice. He looked deep into my eyes. “Mia, I want to assure you that Emma and I are just friends and I will have no relationship with her. She even tried to deceitfully use my son to take money from me and that is the reason I haven't talked to you in a month.” I frowned. “How could she do that? Using her own child to pursue her greed? Did she succeed?” Thomas shook his head
Ava's POV “Mia?” I knocked on her door carefully. “Mia?” I called again. The door creaked open and Mia stood, looking at me with bright eyes. “Ava, what are you doing here?” “I came to check up on you,” I answered. “can not I do that for my best friend?” She smiled and let me in. “No, that is not what I meant. You know what, come in.” Smiling, I stepped into her room. “So,” she said with a teasing voice. “How's William?” I immediately knew she was up to no good. “He's fine,” I answered simply. “Just fine?” she asked. “Nothing else? You know I have noticed something since you two got married.” I looked up at her, curious. “What is it?” “it is just that you two have spent more time indoors. You guys hardly ever come out,” she joked. Heat started to creep up my cheeks. “Mia, stop.” She shrugged. “Well, at least no one's here to stop you two so I understand.” Laughing, I started to hit Mia and she dodged each one, laughing in return. “I am not lying Ava,” she said between la
William's POV “Thomas, she needs space. Give her some time and she will come around,” I told my beta after he narrated everything that happened last night. “I know,” he said, hanging his head. “I will give her as much time as she needs to make a decision. All I need now is one more chance with her.” I patted him comfortingly on his back. “Thomas, I know you are a good wolf and you are willing to take a chance. I know you want to make things right with Mia and fix your relationship with her, but I feel like it would be difficult.” Thomas nodded. “I know I have been a terrible lover to Mia. She does not deserve me and I know that. But I hope that she finds it in her heart to see my side of the story and forgive me for everything I have done. I hope she sees the good in me and accepts me back into her life.” “She will,” I assured him. “Just keep hoping Thomas.” “I really wish I can help Thomas and Mia but I have no idea what to do to bring them back together,” I thought to myself. “
Mia's POV “I am so happy for Ava,” I said, lying on my bed in my room, lost in thoughts. “She found such a perfect mate; someone she loves and someone that loves her too.” I let out a deep sigh, turning in my bed. “William would never break Ava's trust. He would never do what Thomas did to me.” I fought back tears because I did not want to cry for Thomas anymore. I let out a shaky breath. “I wish I could end up happy like Ava. I really thought I wanted a chase but it turns out, I want someone to stay with me. Seeing William and Ava's happy faces and hearing their laughter during their wedding made me realize that.” “Mia,” my father said, knocking and entering into my room. “Mia, are you still crying?” he asked, his voice sounding feeling a bit worried and I wiped my tears away. “No,” I said, my voice was barely above a whisper. He sat down next to me and let out a deep sigh in frustration. “I warned you to stay away from that wolf but you did not listen and went on that trip wit
Thomas' POV I was furious at Emma. She was not letting me see my son, and she kept telling me it was all my fault. “She did not even let me know I had a baby so how's it my fault,” I told William, pacing the room, fuming with anger. “She was the one who got up and left the morning after our one night stand so why would she put all the blame on me?” William looked down thoughtfully, “So, what do we do about all of this?” My head has been a mess since all this started and I have tried, but I can not come up with any solution to fix things. I let out a deep sigh out of frustration and said, “I do not know what to do to fix things. I swear I have no idea.” I clucked my tongue. “That… Emma, she did not tell me about my son for two years and then she comes back into my life all of a sudden and ruins my relationship with Mia.” I ran my fingers through my hair. Mia was mad at me. Everything was out of my control. William then placed a calming hand on my shoulder. “Thomas, we will figure
