William's POV I was lost in thought as I looked at Ava's condition, “I remember Bella, Ava's mum, the wealthy mafia's wife. She was a chronic drug user. I wish I could tell you, Ava, about your mum's drug problem, but I don't want to burden you.” I sighed. “I’va always known you were struggling with something, Ava, but I didn't expect it to be this. I can't imagine how you're feeling being the daughter of a drug addict. But I still have to tell you. I have to.” Taking a deep breath, I approached her, my heart pounding in my chest. "Ava," I called softly. "I need to tell you something about your mum." Ava's eyes widened. “What is it?” "Ava, she's not okay. She has a drug problem. She's been using for a long time." Ava's eyes filled with hurt and disbelief. "What?" she whispered, her voice breaking. "Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell me my mum was alive?" I felt a pang of guilt in my heart. "I'm sorry, Ava. I didn't want to burden you with it. I didn't want you to worry
William's POV The sound of the warehouse's machines filled the air as I entered the building. I sighed. “I have a lot on my plate, and I need to stay focused if I want to get the job done.” As I got to work on scaling our dried saps, my mind wandered to Ava. All of a sudden, Ava's mum Bella walked into the warehouse. She looked around, searching for me. When she saw me, she walked over with a worried look on her face. "Hello William," she said. "I came to see how Ava is faring." "Bella, Ava needs space. She wants nothing to do with you right now." Bella looked taken aback, her expression stunned. "Nothing to do with me? Why?" "It's a long story, Bella. But the bottom line is that Ava needs to process everything that's happened and she needs to do it in her own way, in her own time. She's not ready to talk to you yet." Bella looked down, her eyes misty with tears. "Is she okay?" she asked. "She's trying her best, Bella. She's been through a lot, and it's going to take time for
Ava's POV "I still don't understand why my dad went to such lengths,” I told Mia. "Why did he tell me my mum was dead just to keep her away from me?" Mia was quiet for a moment, and then she spoke. "I think he was just trying to protect you, Ava. He didn't want you to have to deal with the pain of what your mother is." I was taken aback by her words. "But why did he have to go to such an extreme?" I said, my voice filled with frustration. "He could have told me the truth, and I could have made my own decision." "I know it's hard to understand, but your dad was just trying to do what he thought was best," she said, her voice gentle. I knew she was right, but I couldn't help but feel betrayed. "I just feel like I've missed out on so much. I could have had a mother all these years, and I never even knew it." Mia reached out and placed a hand on my arm, her touch providing a small measure of comfort. "Don't beat yourself up, Ava. You can't change the past, but you can make the most o
Ava's POV As I walked into the house, William looked up from where he was sitting at the kitchen table. I walked over to him, feeling the energy and adrenaline still coursing through my veins from my hunt. I held out the piece of paper I had collected from the man, and he took it from me, studying it carefully. "Bella sent this man to follow me," I said, my voice firm. "But I took care of him." William looked up at me, his eyes wide with shock. "You did what?" "I killed him," I said simply, my heart still pounding. William's face fell, and he took a deep breath. "You need to rest," he said, his voice calm. "You've been through a lot." William took the note from me, studying it closely. I watched as he dialed the number and held the phone to his ear. He waited for someone to pick up and finally, a voice came through, "Hello?" "Is this Bella?" William asked, his voice calm and collected. "Yes, who is this?" Bella replied coldly. William looked over at me, nodding for me to stay
Ava's POV "I heard that Bella was punished by the Mendel family leader," I said, my voice soft as I took a sip of coffee. "Apparently, her mafia members sent to kidnap me kept getting killed, and the Mendels got fed up." William looked up from his sandwich, his eyes narrowing in thought. "Really?" "I guess Bella underestimated me and now she's paying the price." William nodded, his expression serious. "I'm glad we were able to keep you safe," he said. I smiled, "I know, me too," I said. We sat there for a while, enjoying our lunch in silence, the sound of the bustling cafe around us a comforting background noise. I leaned forward, taking a sip of my coffee, and looked William straight in the eye. "I also heard something else about my mother." William looked at me, his expression curious. "What else?" "I heard that she is a low-ranking member of the Mendel family gang, apparently, her activities were costing them dearly as she is married to the fourth son of the family." Willi
Ava's POV As soon as I opened the door to our apartment, I could hear William's voice coming from down the hall. "Ava, I'm back," he called out to me. I dropped my bags and hurried down to find him sitting on the couch, a wide grin on his face. "What's up?" I asked, curious. William took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on me. "Ava," he said, his voice tinged with reluctance. "I need to tell you something." My heart skipped a beat as I sat down next to him. "What is it?" I looked at him, sensing the tension in his stance. "What is it, Williams? What's wrong?" William sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's your mother. She came to the factory after you left." My jaw dropped, "My mother?" I repeated. William shook his head. "Yes and she looked remorseful." I blinked, trying to process his words. "I talked to her, Ava. She said she wanted to make things right. She wants to meet with you." I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of doubt wash over me. “Can I trust her? Can
William's POV Thomas appeared at my desk at the warehouse, "We need to go over the entire sap production figures," he said, his voice filled with determination. "There are some discrepancies that we need to sort out." I nodded with a sense of urgency. "We can't afford to miss anything." As we worked, Thomas explained every detail, making sure that I understood every aspect of the process. After what felt like hours, we finally finished. Thomas closed the files, a look of exhaustion on his face. "That was a lot to go over," he said with a calm voice. "Thank you for taking the time to go over everything with me, Thomas." Thomas smiled, "That's what I'm here for. We work best as a team, and I'm always here to help." "Thomas, have you been enjoying Eastern Europe?" I asked with a curious tone. "Oh, it's incredible," he said. "The food, the culture, the history...it's all so fascinating." "I'm glad to hear that," I said calmly. "I was worried it might be too much for you." Thomas
Mia's POV I stepped out of the bedroom, still feeling a bit drowsy from the nap I just took. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I noticed Thomas in the sitting room, surrounded by paperwork. He looked up as I approached him. "Hey, Thomas, what are you up to?" "Just going through some paperwork," he replied, his voice filled with a hint of irritation. "It's never-ending." I chuckled, "I know the feeling. Do you need any help?" Thomas looked up at me, a flicker of surprise on his face. "Actually, yes. That would be great." I sat down next to him and began to help him sort through the paperwork. We worked in silence for a while, with Thomas occasionally mumbling something to himself. Soon, the paperwork was all sorted and filed away, and we both let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks for your help," Thomas said. "I really appreciate it." "No problem," I replied. "What do you say we take a break and go out for a bit? It's a free day for us, after all." Thomas looked at me, a grin sprea
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
