“I’m sorry, alpha Lucas. The news of Ava’s marriage surprised me as well, you know I would never purposely do anything to offend an ally that has helped me so greatly. I too didn’t support the idea of this union when I first heard of it, but then I didn’t want to impose my thoughts on anyone. I also thought that…” Daryl stopped short then, unsure of whether to continue as soon as he realized where his words were going.
“That what?”
“That…. She’d been… you know… Discarded.”
Lucas scowled, “why would you think that?”
“Well, it was the manner in which she came here, but I meant no harm...!”
“Ava was not discarded, Daryl. I would never throw her away, she’s only here because of some personal disputes between us that I will not be discussing with you.”
Daryl nodded his head. &l
“Why are you here? What the hell are you doing here???” She growled. “Precious, I know you’re mad…” “Don’t you f**king call me that!!! Who’s your precious, huh? The one you sent away??” “Pre… Ava… please lower your voice. You know it’s night and…” “I don’t care, Lucas! I don’t care if I wake up the whole packhouse, at least they’ll know who you truly are! All of the people that look up to you and respect you will know you for the proud jackass you are. How dare you, Lucas De’ Clan? How dare you come to me after everything you did! After the way you treated me…” she didn’t finish. The tears that choked her throat at that point didn’t allow her to continue. “I know…” he admitted. “I know I’m at fault for a lot of things… and you can scream at the top of your voice if that will make you feel better. You can yell at me… hate me, but please… don
With every part of her on display for him, her body was completely at his mercy. The soft skin of her breast under his arms, her nipples hard and keen, the rush of air from Lucas’s movements commanding them to stand at full attention. Her skin rippling with goosebumps as her body filled with excitement. He takes his fingers down her body to her vagina, kissing her deeply, he delves a finger into her opening. She gasps as he thrust his finger in and out of her opening, he adds another finger and increases the paves of his movements, she moved her hips to match his fingers and moans into his mouth as she felt she could die from pleasure at this point. She was so wet, Lucas made her feel things no one else could. She knew in her heart she could never forget him. She whimpers as he pulls away from her mound. His hands filled with her wetness and he chuckled knowing he is the one that made her like this. No one else could make her feel this way. No one.
After plenty of struggling, Ava finally gave up trying to fight him. Lucas had clearly proven that he wasn’t going to leave until she at least allowed both of them to talk. She then decided to let him say what he had to say so he could be on his way when he was done.He allowed her a few minutes to put on her clothes, before she returned to sit on her rocking chair in front of him, waiting for whatever it was he had to say. Seeing that he had her attention, he took a deep breath before he began.“I would have come.”She didn’t understand what he meant by that. He saw her expression and decided to break things down for her.“I know with the way things happened, it might seem that it’s only because I didn’t want you to get married that I came here, but that’s far from the truth. It might seem otherwise, but I still would have come
Upon hearing her words, Rian stared at Ava sharply with mixed feelings of dismay and shock. He was finding it hard to believe what she’d just said. “What do you mean by the father of your child? Why is he here now? Today? Where’s he been all this while?” It was Lucas’s turn to speak then, “when you saw her bump, did it never occur to you that someone else was responsible for that? Did it never occur to you that someone else had her first? Or are you just so daft…?” “That’s enough, Lucas!” Ava yelled at him. “There’s no need to be insulting him like that!!! “I don’t blame you,” Rian spat back. “You abandon such a beautiful woman and child and walk out of her life, now you come here to claim rights that you do not even have, rights that you threw away. What kind of wolf would you call yourself? If she’s already yours as you claim, why did you leave her all alone for so long? Did you expect that she’d just be available for you whenever you like?”Ava was getting tired of all this. Th
Ava was fine. The baby was fine too, the healer had assured him that her fainting was just as a result of her putting too much strain on herself, but in all, she was going to be okay. Lucas had ensured he’d gotten this news before leaving her side to heed to any call. Apparently, that “Rian” guy had gone to report him to alpha Daryl for ruining the supposed union that was supposed to happen today. Lucas didn’t have anything to say about this, nor did he have any intentions of going at first, but to honor alpha Daryl, he decided he would, but not until after making sure that Ava was okay. He kissed her on the forehead as she was asleep after being given some sedatives to calm her nerves. He gave instructions to her servant, Keisha, telling her everything the healer said about what she would do when Ava woke up, and when he was done with her, he left to head to the Daivie court. Alpha Daryl was there on his seat, as well as Rian, who stood near him with an angry scowl on his face. “T
Lucas might have stood up to honor Daryl’s speech, but then there was one thing he’d settled in his heart then that wasn’t going to do; give a speech of his own. Alpha Daryl wanted him to, but he didn’t have anything in mind to say, this wasn’t new for him, as mostly being one who hardly liked public gatherings, most of such announcements back at the dawn house were made the responsibility of the beta or gamma. Lucas didn’t need to say it out loud, but alpha Daryl had already gotten the message through his body language. “It’s okay, you can have your seat now,” he whispered, deciding to make a new announcement in place of Lucas’s speech. “Since there won’t be a wedding tonight, I thought it best to instead bring you more good news about my engagement to a she-wolf that resides in this very pack.” An applause came next as this was news that the Daivie wolves were already anticipating. They already knew who the she-wolf was, because she’d been spotted many times recently with alpha
Lucas felt reluctant to give in. He shouldn’t be doing this… he should not be taking advantage of her needs like this. Ava saw his body retreat, and then she gave him the option. “Lucas…it’s either you have me now… or let me go back to my room…” Silence… “So, what will it be?” She asked him. After he didn’t respond the second time, he heard her footsteps, she was keeping to what she said by retuning to her room. Fuck it… no… he didn’t want to have her like this, but he also didn’t want her to leave. He wasn’t going to let the chance to be with her pass just like that. He dragged her back, taking her face in his hand and lifting it to meet his eyes. "I love you Ava,” he gasped. “I wouldn't choose anyone else, not in a million lifetimes to be the mother of my son. Our son. All we overcame was all possible because of you.”He kisses her slowly and brings her body closer to his, letting her sink into the kiss, his lips, the feeling. He was gentle, yet passionate about the way he kis
***TWO DAYS LATER***“Alpha Lucas. I must say thank you for honoring my lands with your presence. My people were very much excited to meet you, we thank you for agreeing to extend your stay, and we hope that you will come and visit us soon again.” Lucas smiled in response as he and Daryl returned from their walk that morning. He’d agreed to go with the alpha to survey the ongoing projects by the men he sent, and also greet some of the Daivie workers who were more than excited to meet him. “Thank you, Daryl, for hosting me here. Thank you for hosting my mate too for the time she was here.” “Ehen… about your mate, so do you intend to leave her here now that you’re returning back to the dawn pack? You know I will never get tired of looking after her… anything for my trusted ally.” “Thank you, Daryl, but that will not be needed. My main reason for coming here was because I intended on taking her home. My people are waiting to welcome their Luna, and the time is far due to welcome my m
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
