After a few minutes of scrutinizing the weapon, Ava then wrapped the blade of the dagger around a small cloth before tucking it in her left boot.
“Thank you, Nani. Once again, I want to thank you all for the help you’ve given me, had it not been for what you did, I probably would have been dead by now.”
“Of course, we wouldn’t allow such to happen to our soon-to-be Luna,” Nani responded with a small smile.
Sighs, “I don’t know… do you… do you think there’s still a chance? For me…. And my mate to get back together?”
“I believe that beyond any reasonable doubt my dear, Lucas De’ Clan needs you. It’s time to go back to him now.”
“I also believe that too Ava,” Cian put in. “I’ve lived with Alpha Lucas for the greater part of my life, I know him well, and the one thing I am sure of is that his life has not been the same since the day you came into it.”
She turned to Kiara, “I hope you’ll no
The journey through the dawn secret tunnels had ended, as Ava now stood with Cian in the middle of the packhouse underground, all that was left to do was climb to the surface through a hidden manhole amongst the bushes. Earlier, the four of them had agreed that Nani and Kiara would make their way through the front entrance, while Cian would accompany Ava through the secret tunnel.“We’re here, Cian informed her as they’d reached. He pointed towards the exit at the end, showing her, “see the ladder at the front, that’s where you’ll climb and then voila! You’re back at the packhouse, but you have to be careful so no one will see you as you make your way up.”“Thank you, Cian. Truly, you’ve been of so much help.”“You really have to stop thanking me Ava, I do this because I want to; I owe alpha Lucas my life you know, there’s n
Sabrina had already sensed another presence in the room with her, but it didn’t stop her from continuing what she was doing, she wasn’t going to let anyone tamper with this fragile spell.“Dear Ava, what a lovely surprise!”“Give up the pretense Sabrina! I know who you are now, and I will never let you succeed in taking Lucas away from me!!!”“Ha! And just how do you intend to stop me from doing just that?”“I’ll expose you! Everyone here will know you for the witch you truly are, and we will all fight till our last breath to protect our alpha from you!” She swore.“I see… And what proof do you have towards your “claim” that I am a witch?”“Don’t be a fool Sabrina, even what you’re doing now is enough evidence
Gamma Kiron had just returned from morning patrol with his men, after passing through the front gates, he’d seen them off to their posts and stopped by the dungeon shortly before intending to retire to his quarters, but something stopped him from leaving when he got to the dungeon gates. It was a loud feminine voice in distress, he recognizes that voice anywhere, maybe its because he hears it often from the outside of master’s bedroom, but the voice sounded just too familiar to ignore.Is that not?? No… it can’t be… Ava wouldn’t dare to return here; she knows that death by the hands of her mate awaits her if she ever shows her face around here. He finally ignored it and continued walking his way, before the voice stopped him again, there’s no mistaking it this time… It’s her all right, but what in the goddess’s name would she come back here for?Kiron decided to turn
Had it been any other person, Kiron would have sent his guard back to caution her and tell her to wait until he was done, but for this poor young lady who’d been through so much already, he decided a few minutes off his teaching time wouldn’t hurt his men.He muttered a small apology to his trainees, nodding to his guard before leaving the field to head towards Sabrina’s direction. She gave a small smile upon seeing him approach her.“Thank you for coming. I know that it’s wrong of me to disturb you when you’re so busy but I felt this couldn’t just wait… can I have a moment with you alone? “Kiron nodded to Ciel before he got the message, bowed in respect and left them to return to the training ground.“Now we are alone as you’ve requested Sabrina, you should be glad that you came to me in my happiest o
“Get out of my way Sabrina! I won’t warn you again!”“You’ve already seen what I can do Kiron! Do not make me unleash my wrath….”“Sire?”Their argument was interrupted by Kain and the other guard who had just returned to resume their positions in front of the alpha’s chambers, only to find that the main door to the room had been broken badly.As soon as they entered, Kiron didn’t waste time in giving them the order.“Arrest her!”Sabrina had been provoked; she didn’t know when she let out her powers, knocking down the two guards coming towards her from a distance, they hit the back of their heads against the wall behind, the strike knocking them both unconscious.It surprised Kiron, bu
Kiron tried to answer, breathing heavily, “Ava… Ava…”“Nani, we can’t remain here for Sabrina to come and catch us! I don’t think Kiron will be able to say anything…”“Ava…, she’s….”“She’s what? She’s what???” Nani ignored Kiara, still asking Kiron desperately.“In… the dungeon, locked…”A sigh of relief for Nani, “Ava is in the dungeon… oh, Ava is still alive!!! The goddess be praised…!”Kiron wasn’t done, “Sabrina… she’s…. scared of…. the knife…” he finally spoke before giving up his breath, thankfully, they’d already gotten the answers they needed from him.&ld
The day went by quickly, and no one realized how much time had been spent, night had now taken over, and the bright moon glistened in the sky amidst the stars.It does not matter that Sabrina has been captured now. It does not matter that she’s now kneeling in front of the guards, her hands and legs cuffed in silver chains, it does not matter at all, because she knows that no matter what these people do to her, no one, and absolutely NO ONE will ever be able to bring back Lucas De’ Clan!“Ha! You fools! Even if you kill me now, his soul stills remains in my captivity! I will take your mate’s soul along with me and gift it to my sisters when I unite with them in the afterlife!”Everyone there ignored her, as all their attention was placed on the alpha, who lay in the on the floor of his bedroom, in the arms of his crying mate, all heads were bent in sadness, in
“Goddess Kaima!! Kaima!!!!” She called. “I know you’re here, come out and speak to me right now! Don’t be such a coward!”“Yes,” Kaima answered gently. “I am here Susannah.”“Why??? Why did you break my box? You had no right do that! You had no right to interfere!!!” Sabrina yelled angrily.“I am sorry for the box Susannah, but I do have a reason for destroying it; it contained what was mine.”“The soul of Rabbi belongs to no one Kaima! All souls are meant to roam freely until they are captured or taken into custody by a higher creature! You speak so highly of yourself as a goddess, but yet you’re proud to commit something so shameful!” She spat.“I did nothing Susannah, the soul returned to its body because its not yet time for it to journey to the
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
