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
Thomas' POV "I need two of you to follow Johnson and track his every move," William instructed. "We can't afford any mistakes on this mission." “We can do that,” two of our werewolves, Tom and Jim, volunteered for the task. William nodded. "I need you to be hidden," he said. "Follow him, but don’t let him know you're there. Report back to me as soon as you have any info." With a nod, Tom and Jim slipped away. The rest of the pack gathered around William, waiting for the next set of orders. "We need to get going," William ordered. "We need to reunite with Mia and Ava as soon as possible." "What took you so long?" Mia asked, a note of concern in her voice as William, the others and I returned to the ship. "We were starting to worry." William breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the rest of the crew gathered together on the deck. "Things didn't go as planned," he replied. "We ran into some trouble on land and were delayed longer than expected." Mia smiled. "But you are all here n
Jim's POV At Johnson's house, we positioned ourselves as we had done earlier to listen and watch his every move. "Alright, let's go over this one more time," Tom whispered. "We are going to stay here and watch Johnson's every move. If he contacts anyone, or leaves the house, we need to know about it. And we can't take any chances. We have to be as quiet as possible." I nodded in agreement as I took position. "Let's do this.” For the next few hours, we stayed hidden, observing Johnson from afar. We watched him eat, sleep, and even interact with his associates. “I hope you're taking note of everything—who he talks to, what he says, and even what he eats—I’ll go check the other side,” I told Tom. “Sure,” he responded. As we continued to watch, a lot more began unfolding in front of us. "This man is definitely more than he led us to believe," Tom whispered as we watched Johnson. "Good thing, Alpha asked us to return." "We will just have to be careful," I replied. "We have come thi
William's POV The Crimson Tide was now out at sea on its way to France. As we sailed along, suddenly a bright light interrupted our peaceful night. We saw a ship in the distance, its lights shining brightly in the darkness. "What is that?" one of my shipmates asked. "I don't know," I said. “But whatever it is, we need to be prepared." We all watched as the ship drew closer and closer. It was a large ship—much larger than ours. "That has to be the Maj Cartel," one of the other shipmates said, sounding worried. "They've found us." "We are not going down without a fight," I said. "We will show them what the Shadow Clan is made of." As we watched the ship draw nearer, we all prepared for the worst. We did not know what was coming, but we knew we had to be ready for anything. "Ready yourselves, if this is what I think it is, it is time to feast!" I commanded. "We are going to show them what we are capable of. "Stay put everyone, hold your positions, we have to be sure." Just then,
William's POV As we arrived at the secret location, the crew of the Maj Cartel's ship was already waiting for us. Mia came up to the deck of our ship as I stood with Ava. She had a big smile on her face as she saw Ava and I together. "Ava, it's so good to see you again!" Mia exclaimed, walking up to the two of us with her arms open. "I've missed you so much these past few days." Ava smiled, taking Mia in a big hug. "I've missed you too, Mia. It feels like it's been forever since we last saw each other." I stepped forward, putting a hand on each of their shoulders. "We made it, everyone. We have the loot, the new ships, and we're all here together." Mia and Ava broke their hug, exchanging looks of gratitude and affection. "Thank you, William," Mia said. "Are we heading to France now?" "We have to trade our ship for a bigger one," I replied. "That means we have to quickly go ship shopping." The crew of the Maj Cartel's ship returned to the Crimson Tide as we set sail for our next
Mia's POV "Captain! Captain! We're here! France is in sight!" shouted one of the men, his voice muffled by the wind. I rushed to the port side of the ship, my eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of land. And then, there it was. France, in all its glory. I breathed in the fresh sea air. We'd made it—and even better, we'd arrived early! William turned to the crew, his voice shaking with excitement. "Congratulations, everyone! We've made it to France, and we did it in record time." The crew erupted into applause and cheers, their voices echoing across the water. We made our way to the merchant's warehouse, and as soon as we docked, William sent a message to her: "Madame, your spices have arrived, and your other cargoes will be delivered to you tonight." As William and the other sailors were busy offloading the ship, I was surprised to see the merchant herself driving up the pier in her horseless carriage. She stepped out, her eyes locked on William. "I have come to inspect my c
Mia's POV The morning light filtered through the lace curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. Me and the merchant lay in bed, tangled together in a knot of sheets and limbs. For a moment, it was silent between us, and I relished the peace of being close to her. Then, the merchant spoke, her voice soft and low. "Mia, last night was..." She paused, searching for the right words. "It was amazing." I grinned, feeling a warm glow spread through me. "I know. It was like we were in our own little world. Just the two of us—completely lost in the moment." I kissed her on the lips softly. The merchant nodded, her eyes bright with emotion. "I never wanted it to end. I wish we could stay like this forever." I chuckled, reaching out to caress her cheek. "Me too, my love. But for now, let's just enjoy this moment." The merchant leaned into me, her body pressing against mine. "I love you, Mia," she whispered, her lips brushing against my ear. I smiled, pulling her closer to me. "I love
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
