Late Bloomer Hero AFTER THE DREAM
“Miss, it’s the last stop.” Ava heard from a far distance. She felt a gentle but firm shake of her shoulder. “We are in Wetcreek. You need to disembark from the train.”Ava slowly opened her eyes, groggily taking in her surroundings. She was inside the train from the capital, but the train was no longer moving. She glanced round and realized that other passengers were already getting down from the train. She was the only one still seated.“I’m sorry.” She told the conductor and hurried down the steps.As she descended, her mind began to clear, and she remembered the lunch with Lila. She had fallen asleep, and it seemed she had had one heck of a dream.Ava laughed, shaking her head. "Wow, that was quite a dream," she said aloud.“Could I have seen the future?” She wondered aloud as she walked into the town. She had seen things, gadgets and devices in her dream that were strange to her present world.Personal phones, mobile even, videos recording moments. Big screen showing hidden thing
Late Bloomer Hero NO VACANCY
The following morning, Ava walked into the building of Denizens Phamaceuticals, her heart racing with anticipation. She could not stop thinking about the dream and decided to see it through.Max looked up from his desk, a warm smile on his face. "Ava! Good to see you again. What brings you here today?"Ava took a deep breath, getting straight to the point. "Max, I wanted to ask about the job I applied for. Have I been officially offered a position at Denizens Pharmaceuticals?"Max's expression changed, a hint of surprise on his face. "Ah, Ava, I think there's been a misunderstanding. We haven't made any official job offers yet. We are still in the final stages of the selection process."Ava's eyes narrowed. "You told me to check back in two days, it is over a week already.”Max leaned forward, his voice taking on a serious tone. "Ava, I think we need to have a more in-depth conversation about this. Can you wait for a minute while I check on some things?"Max's face was somber, his voi
Late Bloomer Hero FIND A MATE OR ELSE
A month had passed since Sebastian's conversation with his mother. He had thrown himself into his work, avoiding the manor and his father's disapproving gaze.But tonight, his father had invited him to dinner, and Sebastian couldn't decline.As he entered the dining room, his parents greeted him warmly. The table was set with fine china and crystal, a delicious roast wafting savory aromas.Sebastian's father, a stout man with a commanding presence, cleared his throat. "Sebastian, we need to discuss your future."Sebastian's heart sank, knowing what was coming."Your mother and I have been patient, but you're 25 now. It's time to settle down," his father said, his voice firm.Sebastian's mother placed a gentle hand on his arm. "We just want what's best for you, dear. Lila is a wonderful woman, and her family connections would strengthen our pack and the company. See how her simple collaboration with us already helped the image of Denizens Pharmaceuticals? Her advertisement placed us ri
Late Bloomer Hero AT THE LODGING HOUSE
The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the lodging house, casting a warm glow over the bustling atmosphere. Ava attacked the dusting with vigor, her mind still reeling from Sebastian's accusations.Becca, noticing Ava's intensity, approached her with a gentle smile. "Hey, Ava, easy does it. You're going to wear out the furniture."Ava's dusting cloth paused mid-air, her eyes flashing with frustration. "Just trying to keep my mind off things."Becca's expression softened. "Alpha Sebastian, huh?"Ava nodded, her lips compressing into a thin line.Mrs. Jenkins, an elderly lodger, who sometimes does the cooking, poked her head out of her room. "Girls, breakfast is ready! Freshly baked scones and scrambled eggs."The savory aroma wafted through the hallway, enticing Ava's stomach. She placed the dusting cloth aside, following Becca to the dining area.As they sat down, Ava's thoughts began to drift back to Sebastian. Becca noticed and intervened. "Hey, no brooding allowed. To
Late Bloomer Hero Ava's Birthday
Scents of vanilla, butter, flour and fresh baking woke Ava Winstons from her sleep. Maybe the cook was baking a cake for my birthday! She thought with joy as she got up from the bed and stretched. She checked her body for any new marks, none was there. She closed her eyes and listened patiently to any voice from inside, nothing. She stared at the little mirror on her bedside for ten seconds, whether her wolf would appear to her on this her special day, it did not. She sighed in disappointment as she changed into her maid uniform. She had been waiting for her wolf since she was eighteen. She adjusted her little white cap and smiled to herself in the mirror, her green eyes a little dimmed from the disappointment. She rearranged her brown curly hair, which framed her oval face. Her cheeks dimpled as she smiled.‘Happy 21st birthday Ava. Maybe your wolf would appear later in the night today. But if she chooses not to, being wolfless is not the end of the world.’ She shrugged and got ou
Late Bloomer Hero Saved by the Guest
Ava saw stars of different colours and shades, the sound of the hot slap still echoing in her ear seconds later. Her mouth hung open in surprise as she stared at Sarah. Sarah walked over to the chair beside the bed and sat down. She threw Colton’s shirt to him. ‘How dare you seduce our alpha? Huh?’ Ava could only shake her head vigorously in denial. But I did not seduce him, he was the one who assaulted me. She thought inside her but did not dare to say anything because of the vicious look in Sarah’s face. ‘Tell me what happened. On your knees!’ Ava quickly fell to her knees and explained the events of that morning to Sarah. She knew Sarah was a good friend of the Alpha and should be able to reason with him. Sarah had also been nice to Ava in the past, and should believe her. After Ava’s narration, Sarah turned to Colton. ‘You were mated to this thing?’ She pointed at the cowering Ava. ‘And I rejected her immediately. It must be the joke of the day for the Moon Goddess.’ Col
Late Bloomer Hero Banished
‘Thank your lucky stars today. Get away from our pack and never come back. If you try it, you will die!’ The enforcers told Ava as they dragged her outside the border of their pack. It was a cold morning, the sky was thick with dark clouds, as if threatening rain could fall at any time. This replicated Ava’s exact mood, her hands and feet were chilled with cold, dark clouds of fear and confusion hung around her and her threatening tears fell without any restriction. Why should she restrict them? Who should she hide them from? She was already alone in the world, she had no one. It was true what the strange note said: no one could help her now. Ava hobbled to a nearby tree, to sit on the roots. She rested her feet and massaged her swollen ankle. The words of the note did not leave her. Prepare for the worst.In just four hours, her life had indeed changed for the worse. No cake to celebrate her birthday but rejection, slap, beatings and… banishment. She wiped her tears and wondered a
Late Bloomer Hero Sebastian to the Rescue
‘Where did they put that she wolf?’ Sebastian Denizen asked his Beta, Scott, after his meeting with Alpha Colton.‘They already sent her beyond the boundary of the pack’.‘How is Colton handling the affairs of his pack? Things are not done properly at all. Times are hard and security should be taken serious.’ He shrugged and waved at Scott. ‘Let’s go, maybe we can find her and take her in. She shouldn’t have gone far in this rain’.‘My Alpha, I advise that we set out after the rain, the roads are tricky.’ Sebastian nodded and they waited in the car till the rain subsided.‘Did you get any information as touching the rogues?’ Sebastian asked Scott as they drove out of Colton’s yard.‘Yes, my Alpha. They were sighted towards the north side of the gingham forest, beyond Blood Moon Pack’s territory. Their enforcers pursued the rogues but couldn’t catch any of them.’‘Hmmn. They are still on the move. Marcus is still searching for wolfless virgins. When will he stop this nonsense? I must p
