“C-conrad!” My gaze turned to Conrad who was just as shock as me. My hands reached him to shake him. “W-what’s happening? Who are they?” The lycans started to jump on the car, creating loud noise. The new ones arrived, and I could tell they were the King’s men who were monitoring us. They fought the ones that were on top of this car, and fought with them. “Avalynn, you should run and hide. Turn the moment I try to stop them. You’re not going to have that much opportunity so don’t hesitate.” Conrad agitatedly said when he finally managed to come to his senses. He started unbcukling his seatbelt. “W-what’s happening? Are we on ambush?” I asked, nervous. There were at least fifteen of them. The another three were on our side, and I was guessing it was the King’s men. They were fighting, but even a kid would knew it was a losing battle. They were outnumbered! Not to mention the lycans were fighting much aggressively! I’ve seen that couple of moves before. Fear flashed before my eyes
Blood continued to gush out from Avalynn’s both severe arms. Outnumbered by the aggressive horde of Lycans, she was not able to do anything but let them devour her as her heart started to beat in a plodding pace. Both Avalynn and Alice could feel it— the thin thread that was connecting the both of them. It was getting weak each passing second, like an indication that they were both nearing their end. But though weak, and dying, both cannot help but hang in to a small hope upon smelling a group of wolves coming their way. Avalynn was sure it was her brother and Jade’s smell, along with the others that were familiar. It was a back-up. If they could only bear it for probably more than a minute, perhaps… they might be saved. “Look how lowly you’ve fallen, Alice…” Said Theodore with a victorous tone. “You may have had two lives, but somehow you weren’t strong enough to survive on me twice.” The others were busy fighting each other. One was defending himself while thinking of a good and s
(Flashback to the night before Avalynn and Adler went to the Lycans’ territory) Adler’s POV I could not feel at ease after the talk. Though I have explained my intentions, and we have talked about how we would pull it off, something felt off to me. It seemed I was missing something. Thus, I went out my house to go to Avalynn’s house, but only to talk to Jade and Gunner. I wanted the plan to be specific. I wanted to have a safety net for any possible danger that may occur, because this was the Lycans we were talking about. Also, I can never have the same thing happen to Avalynn. I failed to protect her several years ago, and I will not commit the same mistake. I positioned myself just right in front of the window on Gunner’s room. The lights was off, but since Jade was there, there was no way he would sleep early. I picked a rock from my other hand, and then aimed at his window before I threw it. It didn’t earn any response the first time. So I threw another again, until I reached
(Adler’s POV) If we were going to do this, we had to be very cautious. I didn’t come here at this hour to talk about the plan carefully only to miss something. I had to go there prepared. I had to go there with subplans under my sleeve. We have to outsmart them, since we cannot fight them head on with just pure strength. “Another thing that’s been bothering me is how you’re going to pass through their security. You said you’d do something about it. But you never really specifically told us how you’d pull it off,” Gunner spoke with a malicious tone. “Do you have an insider?” “Conrad will come at me,” I said in a serious tone. “If what I’m speculating is right, then Conrad already have an idea that I’m coming. If Conrad is really connected to Avalynn’s father, they would be cautious.” “So, you’re expecting to be kidnapped?” I nodded. “Yes. I was positive that that was exactly what was going to happen. Conrad wasn’t dumb, surely Theodore wasn’t, too. They managed to caught me off gu
(Adler’s POV) I was not going to tell my father everything. I was not even planning to be honest. I would not rat Avalynn out just to get his approval. But I could cut out the parts that would expose Avalynn and tell him what he needed to hear. Surely, that would get his attention. Afterall, he was prideful. He was damn mad when one of his strongest second in command was killed on his own territory. “And how did you manage to track them?” My father asked. “How did you know he’s after Avalynn?” “Because it is Avalynn’s father. You knew about it, right?” There was no way he didn’t. He was cautious. My father was a sucker for power. He liked it when he had everything under control. Which was why he had Avalynn’s mother on her neck. He probably traded that secret to get her loyalty. Almost the same thing happened to Avalynn. Except he didn’t know she was the same as her mother. “So Avalynn really is a daughter of a Lycan…” He said, probably inwardly realizing it as he spoke. “And it’s
(Third Person POV) “For Avalynn, we will.” Jade brows furrowed. “We cannot let this chance flee, Gunner. If we don’t kill him now, he’ll come back sooner, and Avalynn might not survive—” “This is what Avalynn would want.” Gunner cut Jade off. Gunner was also not okay with letting Theodore go. It was too dangerous. But he was certain that after knowing everything, hatred and rage had been planted inside Avalynn. After knowing Theodore killed both her mother and father, she wouldn’t want him suddenly disappearing. Not when he ruined her life like that. “Then, you’re making the wrong choice.” Theodore grinned. “You think you have the upperhand because you outnumbered me, but you’re a fool for thinking that way.” Jade’s jaw hardened. She could not come to agree to Gunner. Theodore was right. If they let him go now, they would just be giving him another chance to do this, and Avalynn almost die! “Don’t, Jade.” Owen spoke. “Let him go if he please to live. We are not going to end him
Jade's POV As we attempted to infuse Avalynn's blood with Adler's, we continued on our journey to return. Fortunately, Adler's body began to show signs of improvement thereafter. His body began to heal itself, the process starting off sluggish before picking up momentum nearly five hours later. His skin reverted to its natural hue. A sense of relief washed over us as we finally found ourselves able to relax. We frantically attempted to establish contact with the Alpha, urgently conveying our message that we were on our route back to our abode. As we brace ourselves for the aftermath, it's a relief that we managed to avoid the worst-case scenario of losing both of them and coming out of the battle empty-handed. Rake's voice trembled with anxiety as he posed the question, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "How on earth are we going to break the news to the Alpha that Theodore is still alive?" he inquired, his tone laced with fear and uncertainty. Without a doubt, he must be
Avalynn's POV I let out a soft moan, before I gently wiped the lower part of my face using my right hand. I moved from my position, and then turned sidewards. I tried to pull the blanket to cover my arm, which was on the spot exposed to the rays of the sun. I was probaby on the right side of the bed. And Adler must have already woken up considering the curtains are already up— My eyes immediately opened. My brows puckered upon the realization. I wasted no time and roamed my eyes around to see if I was really in the mansion of the Alpha. Goddamn, I was.I sat down and held my neck. I wasn’t supposed to be… My shoulders slumped down. The same moment, the memories of the I was time I was awake got to me. How I was in the car with Conrad, how we got ambushed… how I found out… My eyes went down to my arms, and legs. Then I tried to check every part of my skin to see if there were any wounds, but there wasn’t any that I could see. It was like everything that had happened to me that day
After Adler learned about my pregnancy, he couldn’t stop worrying about my condition. I was thankful that he did those great things for me, but sometimes, I couldn’t stop to feel irritated whenever he was with me. He changed a lot, but I still know how to protect myself, especially in my condition.He was proud, especially when he announced he would be a father. He didn’t even mind if some werewolves were teasing him about his actions toward me. I understood that they were still shocked that he was my husband, my mate, because of what they knew about how he treated me.“Hey! Where are you planning to go?” My eyes rolled when I heard his voice again. I woke up and decided to go to the bathroom, but he caught me walking. Adler always overreacted! I didn’t like it anymore.He was too afraid that we might lose our baby, especially since he found out that he needed to take care of me with gentleness because of my condition. Gunner didn’t stop making fun of him.“I want to go to the bathroo
Adler didn't know how to react, especially when I pushed him onto our bed. He gasped but didn't even try to struggle with me. He licked his lips, and he didn't remove his eyes from me.“Hmmm..” I hummed when I stroked his dick once again. I tightened my grip on it and slowly moved my hands. “Shit! It's so hot,” He moaned, arched his head, and groaned. I lowered my head and stuck out my tongue to lick the tip of his length.He was shocked when he felt my tongue licked every inch of him. I stared at the tip of his cock, and I saw his precum. I licked it, making him grunt violently.“Shit. Avalynn, where did you learn this thing? Damn it. Don't you dare do this to another man!” I didn't dispute because I focused on what I was doing for him. Jade was right. It was enjoyable that I saw how my mate rated whenever I was licking the tip of his cock.I gulped because I was nervous, especially when I tried to suck his length. I couldn't entirely suck it because his size was too massive. I cl
I was dumbfounded and felt irritated when Adler didn't even think twice about leaving me. Shit. I was embarrassed because he knew that I was too horny. He could smell my scent.“Adler!” I called his name, but he didn't even say anything while he was inside the bathroom. I gritted my teeth in so much frustration. I didn't like what he did, and I would make sure that he would regret leaving me while I was too turned on because of him.‘It looks like you taste your own medicine. It's fine, Avalynn, but I didn't like that Adler chose not to continue what he is planning for you.' Alice spoke to me when I decided to leave our room.I groaned when I already understood what she meant. Damn, she was a dirty wolf. How could she even think something dirty? However, what made me agitated was I liked what she thought. ‘Shut it, Alice. You're not helping me. I want to push him to his limits.’‘Aren't you scared that he might punish you? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're too excited to get his t
“Welcome, Alpha Brandon,” I stared at the beautiful stunning Alpha; his cold eyes bore into us. I didn't even know that Adler had a friend like him. Alpha Brandon didn't talk with us, but he only nodded. Oh, he wasn't approachable, too. He began talking with Adler, and it seemed serious.“Okay, we will continue the training contest in our packs. My members are so excited to know about it.” Brandon stated, making Adler nod. It had been a year, and Adler was pushing to have a deal with another pack. He had been creating some allies to be the powerful Alpha. Brandon seemed stronger, too. I could do it because of his massive muscles, and I couldn't stop staring at his face. Damn.I noticed Adler glared at me. He coughed, and irritation was too evident on his face. “Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Avalynn, my wife,” Adler said, “Baby, come here.”I strolled slowly in their direction and bowed when my eyes met Brandon's sight. His eyes made me seem shallow; it looked like he wanted to ent
Avalynn's POV "There'd be no escape for you, Theodore," I told him with a smile curving in my lips. We have sealed all the exits. Every part, and every direction of this forest have wolves waiting for them. They were also surrounded, and outnumbered. This was exatly what they did to my mother back when I was still young. They beat her to a pulp knowing she was weak. They killed her in the worst way possible. I wouldn't give mercy now. I wouldn't show a heart to someone who doesn't have it. A tooth for a tooth, Theodore. I gave them my signal. In one swift move, Theodore, and the others were was attacked by the wolves in this land. The other howled as they inflicted pain on their bodies, while the other growled in hunger for their blood. I stood in front of them and let them weakened their body. Though they regenerate fast, they wouldn't keep up if they attain a lot of damages. They could try though. I didn’t turn to my human form and watched my friends, and the elders on this pa
(Third Person's POV) The tradition their pack usually does was interrupted with the anticipated arrival of Theodore and Conrad, blocking Avalynn and Adler's way, the two remained on guard and alert. They have prepared for this, and they knew these two weren't alone. Theodore will never dare to show up in their territory with only Conrad. Theodore wasn't that dumb. But he was sure impulsive. Avalynn scanned the area. Within her circle, she sensed the presence of Lycans coming their way. She didn't sense it earlier so they didn't have that much to prepare, but Avalynn and Adler managed to jumped on time. As soon as the Lycans arrived, surrounding the two of them, it didn't surprise them anymore. They immediately cornered them. Avalynn and Adler had no choice but to get close to each other and watch out. "This is our chance," Theodore said. Theodore and Conrad began to walk towards them. Avalynn was looking at Conrad intently, and Conrad was the same. Theodore had evil smile on his
Avalynn's POV Everyone's eyes were glued to us. They were too focused as if they were all waiting for us to do something wrong. All of them were wearing their keen eyes, witnessing the inauguration on this day. I was standing firm, becoming the Luna with Adler, the new Alpha. Am I nervous? Maybe or maybe not. What should a new Luna feel when she was being crowned and proclaimed in front of everyone? I wanted to look in their eyes one by one only if they were not this many. "What's on your mind?" Adler asked beside me. "A lot," I simply replied. I can see him smirking from my peripheral vision, but he remained calm in front of everyone. "You must be excited," he said. His expression was straight. But I couldn't help but remember the last thing we talked about as I looked at it. It distracts me remembering how he asked me back if I would stay if he say he liked me back. "I am." Both because of what would happened tonight, and because I finally would have the power and and autho
Conrad's POVDays passed, and I lost count on it. When Theodore told me that my mate bond with Avalynn ended because she chose to marry Adler, I lost it all too. The pain, the love, and even the guiltiness that was bothering me before faded and vanished later on. I feel fine after that. But maybe, I will not deny something that until now remains and I still feel. Disappointment.I know I have made a huge mistake, betraying Avalynn. But I never once thought that she would actually choose to marry Adler and even now ended up with him. Right now, the most dominant thing about it is that it's all over now. The guilt and my feelings towards her no longer exist. It's all gone. But why do I feel like something inside me is firing up? Like what Theodore said just added fuel to my chest?"Okay, so you felt that your mate bond disconnected and then you went to ask Theodore and he told you that it ended because Avalynn chose to marry Adler, is that it?" This woman who dared to talk to me that
Conrad's POV (This is Conrad's POV afte Avalynn and Adler was saved.)The guilt is eating me up. Since that incident happened and separated me from Avalynn, I always catch myself not being myself. It feels like my mind is flying while my entire body feels like it is buried in the sand. After that day, I decided to stay in the lycan's territory as Avalynn was also rescued by Jade and her circle. Adler was also saved by them.Of course, they would save him. He's the future Alpha after all. They will be all dead meat if they fail to rescue him there. Every second, every minute, and every day, all I was thinking was Avalynn.Is she fine now? What does she feel about me after that day? Is she angry?Those are the questions that keep running in my head rent-free. I may look like a fool when I already know the answers from those. Of course, Avalynn is probably not fine yet. She definitely hates him—despising him each day. Is she angry? Maybe more than angry that she's been wanting to hurt me
