Ava's POV William and I arrived at the conference in Europe to find a mix of humans, vampires, werewolves, and other magical beings. "Welcome,” an old vampire greeted us. The meeting began: “Welcome to our annual conference for shapeshifters and magical beings. We've gathered here today to discuss the current state of the supernatural world and how we can overcome the challenges that lie ahead,” the old vampire spoke with a raspy voice. My mouth was literally opened all through the event. “I thought werewolves were the only shapeshifters,” I leaned to William and whispered. He replied. “As you can see, there are other magical creatures that have mastered the art without being born with it like us.” William and I made our way to our seats, surrounded by other shapeshifters and magical beings. The conference started. “The vampires are here with a presentation on the topic about the problems shapeshifters face,” one of the members of the meeting announced. A vampire stood up. “T
Ava's POV The castle seemed to have been built long ago by a king; the outside was covered in ivy and the inside was full of grand rooms and towering staircases. William led me through the castle then stopped in front of a door and knocked twice. After a few moments, the door was opened by a tall, pale man with piercing eyes. "William, my dear friend!" he exclaimed, leaning forward to hug him. He then turned his gaze to me. "And who might this be?” "Oh, forgive me," William clicked his tongue. "This is Ava, a friend of mine. Ava, meet Christopher, one of my oldest and dearest friends." I smiled and shook Christopher's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. William has told me so much about you." Christopher returned the smile and led us into the room. "And it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Ava. William speaks very highly of you as well.” We entered a large room filled with people and music. “William, this place is really big; I don’t know what to do here,” I complained but befor
William's POV “I’ve noticed Ava has felt out of place during many of our voyages,” Thomas told me with a worried expression. “Yes, I did notice that too,” I replied. “But I'm really trying my best to protect her and help her settle in.” I paused, then continued, “Even though she’s out of her element, she’s always eager to learn and try new things. I can tell she’s a natural explorer, and I really admire her courage and determination.” Thomas nodded. “True. Even when we went on the journey to that isolated island. It was a stunning place, with white sand beaches and crystal but we soon found out it was also home to a group of hostile natives. They didn't like visitors much.” I smiled. “Yeah, I could tell Ava was feeling nervous and scared, and I did my best to reassure her. She was still eager to explore though.” I added, “The natives were closing in on us, and it was clear that we needed to make a run for it. So I grabbed Ava's hand and led her into the jungle.” Thomas laughed.
William's POV The merchant cleared her throat and began, "I have heard great things about you from a mutual contact of ours in Morocco. You see, they mentioned that you were a trusted business partner and someone I could rely on for advice. Is it safe to discuss this in front of Mia?" I was taken aback by her question. “Who could our mutual contact be?” My mind raced as I wondered. “It’s clear that she’s interested in more than just my spices. I wonder what kind of information she had heard about me.” With a deep breath, I nodded, "Of course. Mia is a trusted partner of mine and can be present in any business discussions we'll have." The merchant took a sip of wine and spoke in a low, serious voice, "I understand that you have moved a lot of illicit cargo for Mallam Abu, including humans." She looked at Mia, who was in shock. "Yes," I replied as I poured myself some wine. "But let me assure you, I hate people who talk too much, whatever we discuss dies in our meetings." "I unde
Mia's POV As I walked down the hallway to the Merchant's bedroom, I couldn't help but feel nervous. “What should I expect? I've never been with a woman before. Yet, the thought of exploring this side of myself with the Merchant is both exhilarating and terrifying.” I knocked gently on her bedroom door. “You can come in,” I heard the Merchant's voice from inside. As I opened the door, I was greeted with the sight of the Merchant sitting on the bed. She wore a nightgown but it barely covered any meaningful flesh. "Mia, you look so beautiful," she said, reaching out a hand to me. I took her hand and immediately felt a shiver run through me. "Thank you," I replied with a trembling voice. “Come.” The Merchant gestured for me to sit with her on the bed, and I did so. "Mia, I have wanted you since I saw you. We keep very busy schedules and I know it would be a while before I would see you again, so I figured I have to make my move on you today." I took a deep breath, feeling the tens
Mia's POV I watched as the ship pulled into port at Casablanca, the bustling city of Morocco. With a sigh of relief, I took a deep breath. “I'm so glad to be back on solid ground!” I said to myself audibly. I could see Ava and William eagerly hopping off the ship, immediately venturing into the colorful city. “I really just want to take a stroll, see what the day has in store for me here.” As I stepped off the ship, I felt a sense of freedom coursing through my veins. “I can't wait to explore the city—to discover its secrets and hidden gems.” I wandered through the streets, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city. The smells of street food and exotic spices. The architecture and design. It was all exciting. As I walked through the crowded streets, I stumbled into a tiny café. “Hmm…” I tried to understand the sign written above the door but it was in a language I couldn't read. The interior was dark, only a few small tables covered in plastic tablecloths. “Smells
William's POV As I walked with Ava, I tried to keep my mind focused on the task at hand. “The port was a bustling hub of activity, with merchant ships coming and going, carrying all sorts of exotic goods from the far reaches of the world.” I looked around. “And yet, despite the chaos and noise, there was an unsettling feeling of stillness in the air, as if everyone was just going through the motions.” I had left Thomas to oversee the ship's unloading, trusting him to handle the logistics while I set off to find Mallam Abu's place. “Who's Mallam Abu?” Ava asked me suddenly. “He seems like a large commodity seller on the surface, but he’s actually one of the biggest suppliers of slave labor to Europe.” I heard Ava gasp at my reply. We pushed our way through the crowd of sailors, travelers, and merchants. It was a maze of tents and stalls, with vendors hawking their wares from every direction. “So, where's Mallam Abu?” Ava asked me as I scanned the stalls. “I don't know…” I saw a
Thomas' POV "William, Ava, you have to come with me," I said. “It's really urgent. An important… issue has come up." William and Ava exchanged a worried look before quickly breaking their embrace. “Let's go," William said, his voice equally serious. We met Mia at the other end of the deck of the ship. “Mia, what's wrong?” Ava asked. “Well…” She glanced at me. “Well, I was walking through the bustling streets of Casablanca, taking in the sights and sounds of the city, when I noticed a man following me. At first, I thought he was just another tourist, but as I made my way into an alley, he was still behind me." Mia paused to look at me with uncertainty and I nudged her with my eyes. “Go on.” "Well, you see, I stopped in my tracks and turned around, facing him directly to confront him but he held out his hand, offering me a business card. ‘My boss would like to meet you,’’ he said and I hesitated, trying to assess the situation. But I just couldn't follow him. I mean, I was in a fo
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
