CHAPTER THREE
AVA
I wiped the tears in my eyes as I slowly walked away from the pack house, into the forest. Although I had no idea where I was going, I had never left the pack house before, I had lived my entire life there and had never had a reason to leave, even I did not even have a single idea who my real parents were, I just found myself here and had lived all my live here and also loved and was loved by everyone here. I turned back to take several looks at the pack house, I might likely not be coming back here again.
As I walked further into the forest, unable to believe the betrayal from my friend. I angrily wiped the tears flowing from my eyes with the helm of my cloth, the sadness that once clouded my heart was quickly replaced by anger and deep seated hatred, I could not believe the words I heard from somebody I considered a friend.
Her words kept echoing over and over in my ears till I punched a nearby tree angrily.
"Good thing she is going to leave, I would finally get to have Theodore all to myself". I punched the tree over and over again till my fists started to hurt, and I saw my blood dripping down and dropping on the dry leaves. I let myself fall on the ground, with my back resting on the tree as I went through another round of hot tears.
Something immediately caught my attention, making me to stop crying immediately. I noticed the wounds that I had inflicted on my fists started to heal immediately. As werewolves it was normal for our wounds to heal on it's own, but this felt different. I had never healed this fast in my entire life.
I watched in shock as the wound covered up immediately, slowly fading away and taking the pains with it. I had no idea what to make out of the situation. Almost at the same time as I watched my hand, I felt something fall down from a near by tree. I immediately got apprehensive and stood up to run, but it was too late as the animal like creature jumped on me.
I had no other option at this juncture than to fight myself out of this situation, I had never been left on my own before and I had never had to fight for myself. Whenever we had to go hunting I always had Theodore with me, and he had always protected me from wild animals and other werewolves.
I was surprised again once again when I easily brought out my claws, it had always been a very difficult task for me in the past.
I was easily fighting off the creature with a kind of speed that surprised me, u was surprised because I had never been able to defend myself like that before.
Just as I started to feel a weird transformation on my whole body, I felt another creature come out of the dark and joined me in fighting the creature. I could not see his face clearly, but I however noticed something weird. The moment I growled and glowed his eyes at the animal, it immediately scampered away as it it was scared for it's life.
I turned to look at him, still feeling my body tensed up and reacting in such a way that I had never felt before.
"That was an actual wolf" he said gently, his voice sounded like music in my ears as he spoke.
"Huh!" I asked surprised.
He took a step closer to me and that was when I noticed the colour of his glowing eyes, they were red. Same colour as Alpha Lucas's whenever he would transform. Was he an alpha?
"You have never come across an actual wolf? If I were you I would reserve my powers for the more powerful creatures of this forest than using it on a mere wolf". He said sarcastically as he eyes changed to normal. That was when I noticed how handsome he looked, his original eyes were the deepest shade of midnight blue I had ever seen, his lips were as red and sumptuous as crushed berries, I immediately lost myself staring into his eyes.
I did not understand anything from what he was saying, did he mean there were more dangerous creatures in this forest? But still I was even more fascinated by his looks. His jet black hair were swept to one side, covering a part of his face and making him look even more handsome and dreamy as the reflection of the moon hit his face. It was then that I realized it was a full moon.
"Are..... Are there more dangerous beings here?" I asked with shaky lips.
He let out a mocking smile and took another step closer to me.
"Looks like you have not really being out here much before, yes! There are much more dangerous beings here, more dangerous than me and the wolf you just fought now".
To my biggest surprise he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me to him till my chest almost touched his, and then his eyes turned blood red again, and just like that I felt a kind of weird reaction inside of me, all the powers I had felt in me earlier started to melt down, and then something inside me just wanted to bow down and worship this guy in front of me. And even more than that, I was intoxicated by his closeness, I just wanted to fall into his arms and let him take me away, far away to a place where I would no longer remember all of my pains.
He brought his lips closer to mine as if to kiss me, and then almost at the same time he pulled himself back again.
"You should not charge at me, I am not your enemy, and even if I am, I do not think you stand any chance against me. Brace yourself up to fight the real enemies".
Just like that he pulled himself away from me and took two steps backwards. I immediately felt his absence and wished he had not left my side, I immediately felt empty when he left me.
I gasped when he started walking away.
"I want to come with you" I suddenly called out.
"You can't come with me" he said with a deep voice, without turning around to look at me. "I am very dangerous". With that he walked away into the darkness, leaving me standing there all alone and wondering what he meant by he was dangerous.
CHAPTER FOURI was awoken by the flickers of light that seeped in from the small patches and blinded my eyes forcing me to squint as I opened my eyes slowly. I sat up immediately and looked around the small tent I had made with leaves and sticks I had collected from the forest. I was late for my morning training.It's been a few weeks since I had been in the forest and I had learnt to make the forest my home. I had created a routine for my morning trainings which I never missed, I was determined to train myself to the top and acquire as much power as I could, all the people that had betrayed me would surely pay for everything they had done to me. So far I had made a lot of progress and I was really happy with the progress I had made. I found out I could now do the things I was not able to do while I was in the pack house, I noticed some improvements on my speed, I had also improved in my shape shifting abilities and I could now control my transformation. I had fought a few wild an
CHAPTER FIVE"You have really developed some balls then" a voice said as the figure emerged from the darkness. The voice sounded familiar, I started to rack my brain where I had heard this voice from. "I expected you to also run away like your colleague" he said again as his whole body emerged fully from the darkness. I stared at him wide eyed as I suddenly realized who he was. My heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably at the sight of him. I could not explain the emotion I felt as I stared at him, and he stared back at me with his deep blue eyes. "Are you happy to see me?" He asked with an amused look on his face. I immediately felt ashamed of myself, he might have seen through me and saw all of the shameful desires I harboured about him in my heart, I felt like he could see through me with those magnificent eyes of his, and he might have seen all of the things I had imagined he would do to me with those lips of his, and those beautiful hands. But he can't really blame
CHAPTER SIXLESLEYI slowly opened my eyes a few seconds after the spark, looking around wondering what kind of spark was powerful enough to throw me that far away, and then who was this girl?I stood up from the ground and dusted my body, while feeling embarrassed at myself that I let myself be thrown that hard. I was supposed to be one of the most powerful and most feared alpha around. But then I tried to console myself with the fact that it came unexpectedly.Just as I was about going my way, I thought a little about the strange she wolf, I thought it would be unfair leaving her there alone, and most importantly, I was curious. I needed to know more about her, and why the spark.I remembered her telling me she was homeless, then I considered the possibilities of inviting her to my pack.She was unconscious when I walked up to where she was lying, I found it a bit strange. Especially since I was about accusing her for what happened."Hey!" I whispered hovering over her, but her eyes
CHAPTER SEVENAVAI was terrified with the speed at which that animal ran into us, I had never come across an animal as big as this in my entire life, not even in all my stay at the pack house, not even all the time I had spent in the forest training alone.Even though I had made up my mind from my time in the forest to never let myself get scared of anything, I was still startled by this creature.But still I did not give up. After Alpha Lesley was thrown away by the animal, I made it a point of duty to fight alongside him and get rid of the animal.It was a bit challenging, but I held on. And within the twinkle of an eye alpha Lesley was back on his feet and we both fought the animal hand in hand. I gained a little upper hand, holding onto its horns. I tried to slit its throat by jumping on its back. But little did I know that I was setting myself up for a long run.With just a little flip, I was thrown far away, not only away from the back of that mighty attacker, but far away fro
CHAPTER EIGHT I felt a surge of anger coarse through me as he immediately lifted me into his shoulder without even letting me make a decision on my own, is that how domineering he can be? I scoffed. Of course he is Alpha Lesley, I should even be surprised that he was being nice in the first place. Despite my anger, I still felt a rush of relief knowing I was in safe hands. I knew he was right, I couldn't keep going on my own, my limbs acted like they were would give way at anytime, and him offering his help even though it was unsolicited saved me from crashing down. Aside the feeling of resentment that I had because he would not just let me make my own decisions, I mean staying alone in the forest for that long had taught me how to be independent and not wait on anybody to be my saviour. But I still had a strange feeling of gratitude and I had to admit that I was glad he was there. First he saved me from the forest, then he saved me from the trap and just when my legs were about to
CHAPTER NINESara's POVThe rising sun hung high in the sky casting an orange glow over the Luna pack's territory.I had just come out of my room, and was immediately welcomed by the beautiful sun. I had always loved the rising sunlight, it had a way of bringing back memories, sweet memories.I smiled up at the sky as they soft wind blew my hair.I thought about alpha Lesley. I had heard rumours last night that he returned with a she wolf from where he went to hunt for rogues. At first I had felt apprehensive about it, and then I had dismissed it not until this morning when I heard he had even gone out again with this she wolf and they were yet to return.This made me feel like there was more to all of these.And it brought a pang of pain that gnawed desperately at my heart.And just like it had been perfectly timed. I was about walking over to the Alpha Lesley's chamber to have a look, to be sure if he was really out with another woman when I witnessed the most heartbreaking scene of
CHAPTER TENAVA'S POVMy heart beat increased with every passing second, I wondered what was up with the she wolf and why she was suddenly attacking me.I kept moving backwards as she advanced towards me, until I almost hit the bed if not for my elbows that I used to wedge my body.The murderous looks in her eyes did not evade me as she leaned towards me, her voice sounding like she was ever ready to kill.There was cold silence in the room as we both stared into each other's eyes. Soon, the murderous glare in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a fake smile."I see Alpha Lesley brought you, I have no choice than to be nice to you."I gasped and let out a deep breath when she pulled away."I actually came here to take a look at your wounds, I was told you were injured.Was she the one Alpha Lesley had sent to look at my wound? Why was she being so aggressive at first?She pulled out the first aid box which she had earlier kept under the bed and opened it, then she knelt in front
CHAPTER ONEAVAI couldn't help the countless tears that dripped down from my eyes as I sat on the cold hard ground, tears of unbelieve, betrayal and anger, anger that the people I love and cared about could not even stand up for me, people who were supposed to have my back at all cost.Now I found myself locked up alone with no one to stand by me. I was cold, hungry and shattered, I had even gotten multiple bites from insects I couldn't even see. I had no idea for how long I had been here, since the dungeon was always dark and I could not even discern between day and night. But all of these physical pains I felt right now were no match to what I felt in my heart the hurt I felt I'm my heart was nothing I had ever felt before. My heart churned over and over again whenever I remember the disgusted look on Theodore's face when I tried to explain to him that I was not guilty of what I was being accused of.Just few days ago we were just okay, everything was going well for me, we wer

CHAPTER TWOAVAHer lips trembled as she spoke, I was told it was as a result of all the spirits they had to consult. "The person who stole the claw is the same person who has it under her bed" the witch suddenly said. I was shocked by her words, I looked around to be sure that everyone else had had heard the exact same thing I heard from the witch. But my heart was broken into a thousand pieces when I met Theodore's eyes, he was looking at me with a mixture of disgust and disbelief. I took a step closer to him, my lips trembling, my eyes misty. At that moment nothing else mattered to me except him, only if Theodore could tell me he believed me then I would be completely okay. "Theodore trust me, I didn't take the claws, you believe me right? You know I would not do something like that, I don't steal" I said as I walked up to him, trying to stretch my hand to touch him. "But the divination said otherwise Ava" I heard Lina's voice from behind. I turned around quickly to loo
