Ava’s eyes wandered in his direction of her lover in whose arms she laid in, kissing him in between intervals. At the next moment, her eyes caught something behind him on the beside table near the lamp. It was night and one could hardly see anything in the room, but this was not a problem for a wolf as they were known to have good night vision. She focused her gaze and got a clearer view of the picture behind him. It was the picture of a young black-haired woman, probably in her early twenties, and a young boy who had a striking resemblance to Lucas. She’d seen this picture that first morning she escaped f
“What is the point of it if I can’t be fulfilled with my mate forever?”Ava knows it’s because of his annoyance with her that he’s saying those words, his annoyance with the fact that she can’t be with him forever. She heard the question well but it’s a question she doesn’t want to answer, or rather, a question she cannot provide an answer to. She decided to change the topic by telling him about herself. “My home, the moonlight pack had a lot of different laws, the supreme of all which was the law of the betrothed Luna. For decades, they never abided by the mate bond when it came to their alpha’s mate, they always went ahead by pre-arranging a union with whoever was deemed fit to be joined their future alpha at a young age. Other pack members were allowed to be with their destined mates but not the one that was chosen to be the Luna, me.”Lucas showed interest in her story, and decide
Erasmus and Layla arrived back at the dawn pack house that evening, they were both famished and tired from the journey back. It had been a hell of an adventure for both human and wolf, but Ava wasn’t sure she would have traded the wonderful experience she had with him for anything else. They entered through the back and into his chambers before transforming back to their human forms, Lucas handed her a robe to cover her nakedness and put on his pants before sending for Kiron.“Yes master,” the wolf guard entered and bowed.“Tell Nani I will be having my dinner downstairs.”“Your wish is my command, Alpha Lucas,” and then the guard ran off.Ava felt wonder and a bit of disappointment at the same time, so now he wants to be dining downstairs, and it’s all because of her, but now, they won’t get to dine alone at all because of that. Why didn’t she like the idea of not being a
Damn right he was ready to! Who would he be not to be ready for such an invitation! An idiot that’s what!His vision was completely taken away by the blindfold but he could hear the sounds of Ava taking off her clothes and then the slurping sounds of her coating her body with the honey just as she’d said. He smiled, he’ll lick his way round her whole body if he has to find it, he’s a wolf after all.She sits down on the table in front of him, putting her legs on his shoulders. Lucas might not be able to see but he knows his way round her body perfectly well. He runs his hands up her legs and pulls her bottom closer to him, he can smell her. Her scent is sweet, intoxicating, and the honey only enhances his needed. He needs to taste her, he's always been craving it, and no matter how much he had of her, it never seemed to be enough. He starts kissing her inner thigh, it tickles and Ava starts giggling, her body squirming. Firmly, he gr
***THE NEXT MORNING***To gain the trust of your alpha was a good thing, but it also had its own disadvantages; the main of which was Lucas assigning Kiara on different tasks, not all of which were convenient for her. She’d already done what he’d asked her before, making friends with Ava and helping her through her transition, but now here he was giving her another duty, the one she could not refuse because it had been assigned to her from the alpha of the dawn pack and not as Lucas, her ex-lover, and it was because he held her in high regard. She felt honored of course, but did he really think it a good idea to give her such responsibilities in such short time? Maybe he wanted her to use it to get her mind off things, but she hadn’t mentioned anything about her depression to him, she sulked.Today, she was to accompany Cian to the new camp set up by Filip and his men, they were to deliver food supplies and herbs for the inhabitants of the
“Hey,” he smiled at her as he entered the bathroom, she was seated in the tub, bathing herself, her naked sexy slippery body had every inch of him throbbing.She smiled back and reached out her arms, “come and join me.”Of course, there was nothing he wanted more than that, he even wanted it more than her; to get in there with her and fuck her right there in the tub, continue from where they left off last night, but he couldn’t, he knew that if he gave into his desires now, he wouldn’t go to that meeting today.“I’m sorry Ava, but I can’t.”She frowned, “but why?”“I have to go to somewhere important right now, the supreme messenger delivered a message from the supreme council this morning, I was supposed to see the messenger yesterday but I wasn’t around so he came today.”The supreme council? They never called unless it was an ur
Cian and Kiara had just arrived at the camps; they had been driving the whole day without any breaks because of the urgency. It was a bit exhausting but they were glad that the journey was finally over, they’d spend the night here and tomorrow, they’d be back on their way to the dawn pack. Kiara watched as Cian gave orders to the servants who were now offloading the supplies from the trucks to take to the tents. She decided to find a way to help, going to one of the trucks and removing two folded tents from the supplies so she could find a place for her and Cian to camp after they were done attending to the refugees.As she was walking around the field, she saw a very familiar face, a face she didn’t expect to see, she dropped everything she was holding in her hand and pinned her gaze on that face. Was she dreaming? No, it couldn’t be, could it? It was him; it was truly him, that scent, that face, she never forgot it. Her mate… her Paul wa
“Kiara!”It was Cian’s voice, how sweet of him to try to stop her, but she wasn’t in the mood for any of his gestures, she needs to leave this place, and she needs to do it now. She didn’t even bother to turn back, ignored him and continued walking her path. He ran fast until he reached where she was.“What are you doing Kiara? It’s night, and it’s not safe for you alone out there with all those rogues on the loose, alpha Lucas will kill me if anything happens to you!”She turned.“Thanks for worrying about me Cian, but I think I can handle myself out there. Nothing is worse than staying here.”“Are you kidding? So, you’re just going to let what just happened allow you to endanger your life? All because you kissed someone you shouldn’t have?”“You don’t know how it feels Cian, you don’t know how it feels
It had been a hell of a meeting, a meeting which lasted for almost two days. Lucas had just returned back to the packhouse and to his chambers that night, he met Ava on his bed, sleeping soundly. It was as if she sensed his presence, because her eyes fluttered open not too long after he walked in, she met his eyes staring at her.She sat up, letting out a yawn while stretching her arms before speaking to him.“How are you love? What was the meeting all about?”“It’s the peace ball.”The peace ball, she mumbled the word silently in her lips as she tried to recall what it was. She knows about the peace ball; she’d been taught so much about it during busk sessions, she remembered Luna Mitchell’s words in her head about the ball.‘The peace ball is the biggest and grandest occasion in which all pack leaders around the world gather to attend yearly. The ball was named after a peace
Ava opened her eyes and looked around; Lucas was sitting beside the bed, his legs stretched out in front of him, and he was eating an apple and doing some paperwork beside the bed."What are you doing?" She asked, then moved closer to where he sat."Just checking the documents that Kiron submitted. Is anything the problem?""Well, actually, there is a problem," Ava said and pouted."What is it, precious?" He said, looking worried.Ava hid a pleased smile; she sure knows how to his attention."The problem is that this is supposed to be a vacation; you shouldn't be working on our vacation; you promised to relax here."Lucas chuckled, "You were sleeping, so I decided to get a little work done since I wasn't sleepy. Is there anything you want us to do?"She looked at him coyly, then he chuckled, "I know that look; you are a vixen, precious.""No, I am your vixen, the one you created."He dropped his book. She walked over to him, then sat on his lap, straddling him. She circled her arms ar
Kiron stepped down from his truck and then headed towards his house. It was already dark; today had been a long day; moving back and forth from Dawn pack to Moonlight pack wasn't easy.Alpha Lucas had made him an ambassador after they won the pack back from Fillip and Vulcan. He was in charge of helping Moonlight pack, now a colony of Dawn pack. Sometimes it was big work because Eli was way over his head, but he tried his best to be a fair and truthful Alpha.This job was more tasking than when he was just a Gamma to Lucas, It meant less time for him and Keisha to fool around, but she never complained.Sometimes, He only comes home for a few days or returns so late with no desire to do anything but sleep.He hardly delegated his duty when he was just a Gamma, so he found it hard to delegate now. He always likes to supervise everything himself, so he can ensure it's been run effectively.Speaking of Keisha, she was his wife now. She still helped in the nursery, but it wasn't a job; she
Keisha looked into the mirror to make sure her face mask washed off very well. She was still waiting for the makeup artist.Today was her wedding day; Kiron had talked to Lucas, and he had agreed to let them have their wedding a day before the moon festival.But then it was two weeks until the moon festival, so time wasn't on their side, but Kiron had insisted that they still do it on that day.Thanks to Luna, Ava, and Kiara, because they were like her fairy godmothers, they helped her plan everything in such a short time.She could still remember the morning she announced her engagement to Luna, Ava, and Kiara.Ava had hugged her and said, "Wow, I am so happy for you."While Kiara looked excitedly at the ring, she said, "Took him a damn long time, but he still did it before we kicked his ass."They had all laughed, then asked about the wedding plans and shared parts of them among themselves.Kiara's gown was modernized for her. Kiron had some people come take her measurements. The ne
"Where are we going?" Keisha asked Kiron again.They had been left in charge of the pack, but then Beta Cian and Kiara returned in the night, so Kiron had some free time on his hands.Since he was named Ambassador, he had mostly been so busy with his duties that he was always transporting goods to Moonlight Pack. Though Keisha was happy about his promotion, she missed him greatly whenever he was away.He had given her a beautiful gown today and then told her to dress up. She wanted to know where they were going, but he wasn't coming forward with information."It's a surprise. Now get dressed around six in the evening and meet me in the fields," he said, then left.She had washed her face and then headed to the nursery. She no longer worked in the nursery but helped there as she wasn't just ordinary Keisha anymore; she was the Gamma's partner now.When she arrived, the children ran towards her, many of them fighting to be in her arms.She led them back to class, greeting all the nurser
After a while, buffets and buffets of food were brought out.Yara served them their choices, but Kiara wasn't yet back from the bathroom."Hey, which bathroom did my mate go into?""The one at the back of the store is the building beside the hall.""Okay, thanks."Cian excused himself and left the hall.Alpha Daryl stood up and went to the podium."Thank you all for coming to make today all fun. I have the name of everyone here that has a mate in this box, including the Alphas."People began to murmur."Shhh, if I pick your name, you will come out and sing for your beautiful mate that the moon goddess gave you. Now let me shake the box."He shook the box so hard that some names wanted to fall off. He dipped his hand and then brought one out.He opened it, was shocked for a moment, and then smiled."Alpha Lucas De'Clan, the podium is yours."Everyone began to clap while Ava nudged Lucas, who sat with an emotionless look on his face.He looked at Ava's face for a while, then stood up. H
After checking on Ramsey, they saw he was fine with Nani, who fed him special meals. Ava begged Nani to watch him, then set out with Lucas.They walked to the pack's forest and then dropped everything they came with. Before leaving, they packed a blanket, dried meats, water, and fruits. Lucas carried most of the heavy stuff, while Ava just carried the fruit basket.They dropped the items beside a tall, old tree."Did you know the Dawn pack would have been built here instead of up there?""No, why would it have been here?""I wanted to do that, but Cian and the others convinced me not to cut down the trees and build more houses here."Ava nodded. "Look, there's a house over there, but it's depleted.""I know; that is where I used to live; there's plenty you don't know about me.""There's plenty you don't know, too," Ava challenged back."Of course, life is precious, yet we still live so happily. Come, let's go see Erasmus and Layla."Ava undressed, crouched on all fours, and shifted in
Lucas woke up and kissed his wife and his little boy. The previous night, Ava had tried to put Ramsey to bed in his room, but he started to cry."Mom, No!"He kept crying until Ava returned with him; he had slept with them on their bed. He keeps complaining that he sees Fillip in his dreams, and they have to find a way to make him stop seeing Fillip. Nani has already begun to work on a potion.Ava woke up, too, then slowly tiptoed over to Lucas, who was dressing up because Ramsey was still sleeping."Are you leaving already?""Nope, I will be back for breakfast. I just wanted to check on a few things for Madeline's funeral service."Ava nodded, "Then get going, so you will be back for breakfast; remember, we are waiting for you.""Okay, precious."Lucas walked towards his office and then spotted Levi Stone, the one he had temporarily put in charge of the soldiers and the one organizing Madeline's funeral.He was giving orders to two soldiers carrying the flowers to be careful. Lucas s
Under normal circumstances, Lucas De'Clan would have killed the guard and then killed Fillip too, but this time, Ramsey was involved in it. He kicked the guard's leg and then held him by the neck."Daddy, come take me," Ramsey cried out."I will, handsome; now I will be a big boy for Daddy, okay?""Okay."Lucas directed at Filip. "Let Ramsey go, or I will kill this guard."Fillip chuckled, "Does it seems like I care? Kill him if you want to. There are ten more guards here.""I can kill them all, Fillip; you, of all people, should know that.""You can, but you won't. Now let him go, or I will kill your son."Lucas pushed the soldier away and then raised his hand in surrender. "I know it's me you want; now, let Madeline and Ramsey go."Fillip smiled and said, "No, here's Madeline." He pushed her towards Fillip."Who says you would behave if you had Ramsey? You would turn to Erasmus and kill us all."Lucas caught Madeline and untied her hand, asking, "Are you okay?"She nodded, "Save Ram
"I can't believe that asshole would dare kidnap my son!" Lucas growled, slamming his hand on the table."Calm down, Alpha Lucas. Let's find a solution," Eli said."We will, but when I get my hands on Fillip, I will tear him apart limb by limb, and I will give him a prolonged and painful death. For fuck's sake, how can he kidnap a little kid because of his selfish interests.""I say we sneak in tonight as we did before, get Ramsey, then that asshole," Kiron suggested."No, we already did that once; besides, he knows that Nani may have reached the Dawn Pack by now. He would probably expect us to try to sneak in, so it's a bad idea," Cian advised, and then Kiron cursed."So what do we do then?" Eli asked."Maybe I should go alone as he suggested; that way, I will get my son.""Hell no, Alpha. Fillip won't give you Ramsey. We all know he is a corny asshole. He will only kill you, then Ramsey too," Cian said."I am not afraid of dying; I just wish I could get my son. Besides, you will be a
