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
Mia's POV Thomas slowly woke up in the coolness of the beach. He then rubbed his eyes, trying to clear the sleep from them. “So sexy.” Thomas sat up on the bed watching me as I slept nude beside him. “How are you so beautiful Mia?” He removed the strands of hair that fell on my face. “I feel like I'm completely hypnotized by you. Looking at you, it's as if all the worries and concerns of the world have melted away.” Slowly, he turned away to get dressed. As he stepped out of the beach hut, Thomas felt a tinge of excitement at the pit of his stomach. “There’s just something about her that draws me in—something that makes me feel so alive.” He took a deep breath and stretched with a loud yawn. He began to walk along the deserted beach, consumed by thoughts of me. “Focus on the beautiful scenery around you, Thomas and try to forget about the goddess that was sleeping next to you.” Thomas had been walking for a while, lost in his own thoughts, when he turned onto a more secluded part
Mia's POV I laid on the bed, my body shaking as I sobbed tears streamed down my face. “I can't believe Thomas would cheat on me.” I sniffed. “Especially not with humans.” I recalled the previous night. “Thomas?” I'd called when I woke up the previous night. “Where is he? Let me go find him.” I had gone looking for him. “He should be alone somewhere,” I'd expected. But then, my heart had skipped a beat when I saw him with two beautiful women. “I’ve never felt so hurt before,” I thought to myself. “I never thought that Thomas could be so cruel!” I breathed. “But I can't deny that I still want him. I still want to be with him.” I groaned. “I can't stand this war between my heart and mind, I just can't!” The more I thought about last night, the more my anger grew. I began to question myself: “What are you doing with your life, Mia? Who are you? What do you really want? You love Thomas, don't you? But you deserve so much better; you deserve someone who will love and respect you.”
Ava's POV I sat across from Mia in the living area of the ship with a serious look on my face. "Mia, I need to talk to you," I said, getting straight to the point. "It's about you and Thomas.” She finally looked up at me. “What about that?” I started, “You know how the elders feel about our relationship with the Shadow Clan. They do not approve of our relationships with other werewolves, especially an official one between a Blue River Clan member and a Shadow Clan member." “Oh just forget it.” Mia didn't seem to take my words seriously. “Mia, I know you're young and carefree and your relationship with Thomas seems like it's just a casual fling. You don't understand the gravity of the situation here—or the potential consequences of being in a relationship with a Shadow Clan werewolf for that matter.” "Ava, it's not a big deal," Mia replied, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, it's just a casual fling that's the point. It's not serious. Thomas is a nice guy and we have fun together. That's a
Quill's POV Lord Robert sat in his garden, deep in thought. "All I did was be a protective father," he muttered to himself."I didn't want Ava to be taken away by William, especially since I knew that the Shadow Clan was trouble. But I should have trusted her. I should have let her make her own decisions." He sighed, disappointed. “What kind of father am I?" He shook his head. "I can't even protect my own daughter." "My Lord," I called out to him, snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see me, his future son in law, standing in the doorway. "What's wrong, Alpha?" I asked, concerned. I noticed Robert hesitated for a while. "Ava... she's run away with William." My eyes widened in shock. “What?” I said, my voice merely a whisper. I looked up at him. "Now it makes sense my Alpha, my sister is also missing, I am sure she is with Ava… but why?" "Because I pushed her away," Lord Robert said, standing up. He put his hand on his forehead and groaned. "I was so focused on pr
Quill's POV “The Shadow Clan has taken your girls in their ship,” Narok started. “And that ship that is called the Crimson Tide. It rarely stays in port for more than two days before disappearing into the sea once more.” “This means that we need to act fast if we are going to have any hope of catching up with the ship,” I told Alpha Robert. I listened carefully to Narok's words, making sure to commit them to memory. “Finally! We have something to work with,” Sir said as we kept listening to Narok. "Our first step," he said. “We will analyze the data we have on the Crimson Tide to see if we can discern a pattern in their movements. This will help us determine which ports they are most likely to visit next." He continued, "Once we have a list of potential ports, we'll divide the world into quadrants and assign a field team to each. Each team will be responsible for monitoring the ports within their quadrant for any signs of the Crimson Tide's arrival.” “Ok,” I said, nodding my hea
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
