Gideon “ What are you doing here?” I asked as soon as I got out of the room and closed the door behind me “ John wants to talk to you,” Daro said. “ Did he find something?” I asked and he nodded his head. “ You should see and take a look at the things he found,” he added. “ We will go there but not now. I have distracted everyone,” I said looking at the painting behind daro which was hanging on the wall. The female in the painting looked familiar but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. “ Ok,” he said. “ Did you look into the things I had told you?” I asked. “ But the things I found out about her was rather shocking,” he added. I waited for him to continue. “ She isn't a human and belongs to a witches family but i have yet to find out which one,” he said. “ Does Alexandre knows anything about her background?” I asked. “ I don't know Gideon,” he said. “ Hmmm,” i hummed in response. “ Guess we need to dig more. This pack holds more secrets than the entire shifter world,
Ava I woke up well rested with a smile on my face, the sun shining brightly on my window. Looking at the sky I could tell that the weather outside is beautiful. I blushed as the memories from earlier came rushing to me. My smile fell when I realised that I slept. I turned my head around to look at the cloak and it was 8 in the morning. I had never in my life taken a nap in the morning. It was weird. “ Ava,” a soft and cautious knock broke my chain of thoughts. “ Yes,” I said, clearing my throat. The door of my room swung open and Max came inside. His face looked dull. “ Did something happen? You should be at the arena right now,” I said, because it is the time for the training and he wasn't a person who would skip it for any reason. “ I would like to talk to you,” he said. “ Come in,” I said, standing up from the bed. “ Ummm, well… he trailed off entering the room. “ What do you want to talk about?” I asked. “ Can I ask a favour from you and his highness?” He asked reluctantl
Ava “ Ufff….. finally,” I said , releasing my breath that I was holding. After I saw Gideon walking towards the arena with Max and Benjamin I made a plan. I successfully managed to sneak out of the pack house and now I have only one thing left that is to go to my old house without being seen which is really hard at this hour of the morning. “ Oh moon goddess, please help me,” I said silently as I started walking cautiously. I looked around and there were people who were busy with their daily lives. My parents house was just a couple of minutes away from where I am now. As I was walking down the road my eyes fell on a figure whom I despised the most in the pack. “ Oh, goddess, anyone but her,” I said , looking away from Linda. Looks like she was bitching about someone with two other females like her. I turned around immediately to change the path but was stopped by her high pitched voice. “ Oh, hey Ava,” she said from behind. I clenched my fists, gritting my teeth. Oh f*ck no. No
Gideon“ Where is she?” My voice boomed as everything and everyone went silent.“ Your highness, please come with me,” Benjamin said, as he came running to me.Without saying another word, I followed him behind. We walked out of the pack house and crossed the arena before he took me to an old abandoned house.A loud growl vibrated in my chest when her scent entered my nostrils.“ Where is she?” I asked, my voice was low.“ I don't know your highness. I have searched the whole house after I found the blood in front of the front door,” Benjamin said. My whole body froze at his words.“ What? Blood?” Daro asked.“ Yes,” saying that he walked forward and towards the front door, where her scent was stronger.“ Witches,” Zender growled in my head, pacing back and forth.The front door was opened and looking down I saw blood on the floor. My heart sank in the pit of my stomach.“ tell our warriors that we are going on a searching mission of their queen,” i roread.“ Yes, your highness,” Daro
Ava “Ummmm,” I groaned in pain as the back of my head throbbed in pain. I tried to open my eyes but as soon as I did, the back of my head was hit with a sharp pain. I groaned again, closing my eyes shut. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, before I slowly opened my eyes again. The first thing that came into my view was a dull half crescent moon in the sky. I blinked my eyes a few times before I looked again and the view remained unchanged. Then I looked around my surroundings and panicked rippled through my heart looking at the dark and silent forest. “ Gideon,” I whispered his name, trying to move but I was stuck. Looking down at my body I saw I was tied to the tree behind me. My hands were also tied behind me and I could hear the hoot of the owls nearby. It took me a few moments to remember what had happened. I was going inside after talking to Linda and her friends when I was hit by something hard on the back of my head.my eyes went wide as realisation dawned on me.
Gideon “ Anything?” I asked through the link. “ We are trying, Gideon,” Daro replied. “ I know but nothing makes sense, daro. It looked like she just vanished into thin air,” I said. “ There's no scent of anyone or anything that will lead us to her,” I said, pacing back and forth inside her room. “ I will inform you if we find anything Gideon,” he said. “ Until then I want you to just calm down for a bit,” he added. “ How can I, daro? When I don't know where my mate is and if she is safe or not?” I said as panicked creeped into my heart again. “ I understand.” “ Your highness,” Max said as he came rushing inside the room panting heavily. I turned around from the window towards the door to look at him. “ Please tell your man to look into the southside of the forest,” he added. “ Daro, tell our men to look at the South side of the forest and Benjamin with you,” I said through the link. “ on our way,” he said before dropping the link. “ Did you find anything?” I asked, looki
Ava I didn't know how many hours have passed sitting here in the dark room mindlessly but I was brought to reality by the knock on the door. “ I am coming in,” a feminine voice said before I heard the door swing open. I didn't lift my head to look up to see who it was nor was I interested in looking. “ I brought you food,” she said. “ Go away,” I replied. “ But…. “ I said I am not hungry,” I said, lifting my head and looking at the figure standing by the door. I couldn't see her face because of the darkness but I could tell that she was a lady from earlier. “ I wasn't supposed to leave until you eat, my lady,” she said. I didn't respond to her. She waited a few moments before she switched on the lights. The bright light nearly blinded my vision. “ My lady?” She asked, looking at me. “ I am not your lady and I said I am not going to eat while I am imprisoned here,” I said, my voice coming out a little louder than it should have. “ Eat something,” she repeated again, making m
Unknown “ Ummm, sir,” one of my men said, knocking on the half opened door. I looked up and waited for him to continue.“ We lost her track, sir,” he said, looking down and shivering in fear.“ Ummm,” I hummed in response.“ You may go,” I said and his head snapped up immediately, looking at me in disbelief. Without saying anything he nodded his head before leaving. Swirling my chair around I looked up at the sky and smirked. The weather is actually nice.“ I know where you are,” I mumbled to myself, smirking.I haven't learned witchcraft just to play, I thought before getting up from the chair.“ I shall see where you are hiding,” I said, shaking my head at the person who thought he could hide you from me.How childish, they couldn't hide you when she was born, what makes them think that she can now? I mocked them before I took my leather jacket before walking out of my office.“ Where are you going,” the old man asked.“ To meet my destiny,” I said with a smile before walking towar
GideonMy heart clenched when I heard Ava's scream. With great difficulty I lifted my head to look at her to see what was happening to her but couldn't see anything due to my hazy vision.That Bastard has used aconite to weaken us with wolfsbane.“ Zender, come out buddy,” I said in my head as I struggled in their hold to break free. It was a challenge for me to even move my fingers with aconite in my system.“ My love,” as soon as I heard Ava's voice in my head my head snapped up in her direction. How is it even possible that she is communicating with me, without her Lycan?“ Ava?”“ Yes, it's me. Thank you for coming,” she said. I could see tears brimming in her eyes as she continued looking at me with a half smile. I fucking hate myself right now for not being able to save her.“ It is not your fault baby,” she said as if she read my mind.“ I had to come,” I said.“ I know they had used aconite and I can help you remove that thing,” she added.“ How?” I asked, then I remembered sh
Ava“ No!!!” A gut wrenching scream left my mouth seeing Liam was being hit on his head.“ Don't even think about leaving here alive,” Ivan said glaring at Liam with a sinister smirk on his lips.Where is Kiara and the others, I wondered looking around frantically searching for my team. But they were nowhere to be seen.I saw two of his men holding Liam down while he was half unconscious. Tears started streaming down from my eyes as I shook my head. It is all my fault. I won't ever be able to forgive myself.“ Hmmm, interesting,” Mikael said as he turned around and walked towards Liam. Fear was creeping up in my heart as I watched Mikael's movement, one blow from him and liam will be dead.“ How did you manage to get in?” He asked, looking down at liam.“ Who are you? No ordinary person can get inside the barrier,” he added.“ It has weakened,” Liam answered.“ Do you want me to believe you?” He asked, chuckling at the stupidity of Liam's answer. Then it hit me and I closed my eyes to
Ava“ what are you doing here?” I asked, looking at him trying to mask my fear and nervousness but failed miserably. I could tell that he can hear my erratic heart from where he was standing.“ Well, I came out looking for our queen,” he said, with a hint of smirk playing on his lips. His words were laced with sarcasm and from his tone I could tell that he knew.“ I wanted some alone time,” I said, gauging his expression.“ Into the woods?”“ Well, you will have plenty of quality time after tonight, princess,” saying that he stepped forward, walking in my direction. I took a step back as I stumbled backwards.“ Mikale!!!” my voice was full of warning.“ Princess.”“ Come on, people are waiting for you,” he said, extending his hand for me to take. Looking at his hand I felt disgusted. I didn't know how many times I had placed my hand in his without knowing his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent lives and my parents.“ What are you thinking, princess?” He asked, his
Gideon“ STOP!!!” Bella's words echoed in the forest.“ No, he is going to kill my mate and I won't let that happen,” I said, looking into her eyes.“ He won't hurt her. He is going to help her get her powers,” she said.“ What?”“ I don't know how to explain this. But their bond is different. I can't imagine why? Since they are not blood related.”“ But he is going to save her,” she said looking up at me. I could see she was telling the truth but there was something else she wasn't telling me.“ I have told you more than enough,” saying that she turned around and walked away.“ What is happening, Aaron?” I asked, In a defeated voice.“ What am I going to do?” I asked.“ We are all in this, remember?” He said, patting my shoulder.“ Come on, he is awake,” Aaron said before walking past me. With a sigh I couldn't help but follow him.My shoulders slumped in defeat as I didn't have any choice but to follow him.I looked in front of me furrowing my brows. Max was chatting with Bella's fa
Ava“ Kaleb?” I gasped before I ran towards the door before locking it.“ Hi love,” he said, getting up from the edge of the bed as he came walking towards me. I was beyond shocked.“ What are you doing here?” I asked in a hushed voice with a half smile on my face. I was happy to see him but then I was confused how can he could break inside the enchantment.“ how can I miss my princess coronation ceremony?” He said, bowing his head down, as he asked for my hand. Looking at him with a smile I placed my hand in his.Then he stood straight up, before taking my hand to his lips and kissing the back of my hand. I giggled, he does treat me kindly not like Mikael.“ I assumed you were waiting for your makeup to be done?” He asked with raised eyebrows.“ Yeah,” I said, trying to control my laughter.“ Well then, let's get you ready,” he said, taking my hand and swirling me. “ Ta-da,” he said, taking me in front of the mirror.“ Wow,” I breathed out looking at my reflection. My make was on po
Gideon“ Let's get going,” I said to the boys who were standing in the living room for quite a moment now. We were all waiting for Aaron.“ We have to go there using a car,” he said.“ Why? Didn't you transport us to the outside of the dark forest?” Andrew asked.“ It was different,” he said.“ The enchantment there was not letting me transport myself,” he added.“ Wait!! You tried to go there? When?” I asked. He didn't even inform us.“ Yes, last night when we all went to our rooms to take a rest. I wanted to make sure I can take you all there,” he added.“ But the enchantment there was too strong for me to even transport myself. I even felt something was off there, like some kind of black energy,” he said, thinking back on what he had experienced. Recalling, I remembered Victor had also said something was off in the forest.“ Come on, we don't have time to waste,” Aaron said, walking past me. Max had already arranged cars for us. Aaron had a conversation with him last night. And he
Ava“ Ummm,” groaning in pain, I woke up. I felt my whole body ache. What happened to me? I looked at both sides where Abigail and Jenna were sleeping but they were not there.“ what happened to my body?” I asked Mia who has been pacing back and forth in my mind.“ Half of the powers have been released by our mate,” she said. From her voice I could tell that she is excited.“ Gideon?” I asked, how? What did he do?“ I don't know but it has been released. Now that everyone has witnessed it, be prepared to receive it,” she added.“ Hey, you are up?” Jenna said, placing the tray on the centre table.“ Yeah, I couldn't find you. Where were you?” I asked.“ We were up before you and saw you were in sleep so we went ahead to check everything for the celebration,” she answered. I almost forgot today is the day.“ I brought your breakfast here,” she said, pointing at the tray. I tilted my head to look at the clock and it read past 9. I overslept.“ I overslept,” I mumbled.“ Do you feel anyth
Ava After the meal Mikael, Abigail and I spent some time in the backyard. He told me about the white wolf and silver wolf. Half of the things he had said were false.“ Call me if you need anything. I have to go now,” he said. Looking up at him I nodded my head.“ There is a lot of work that needs to be done,” he said.“ don't wander away, you know the danger right,” he said looking at Abigail, his voice was full of warning.“ We will come back in a few moments,” I said.“ Okay,” saying that he turned around and left.I turned my head to look at Abigail who rolled her eyes at him before looking at me.“ How do you do that?” She asked, making a disgusting face.“ Believe me I would have thrown up if it continued for a second.” I laughed at her. She really hates him. Then I saw her looking up at the sky as she sighed in content.“ Finally everything will fall into its place,” she said, closing her eyes.“ Yeah,” I said. I am still unaware of what is about to happen, I only have a bad fe
Gideon“ Please take a seat,” Carlo said. He was the one who attacked me in the forest.“ Carlo, could you please talk to your people? I will return the stone as soon as our work is done,” I said, pleading with him.“ You don't understand,” he said with a sigh, shaking his head.“ Take him with you, Carlo. Let them see,” Marci said.After the effect of the drug wears off, Marci had told us everything about the forest. Why it was created and who was responsible for that. As usual Andrew got angry and was ready to tear the heads of the humans off of their bodies.They had offered us food and even said they would take us back as they creatures of the forest never harm their people.The most shocking thing I heard was that they knew about us and from which Kingdom we all came from, even though they don't go out quite often.“ Please come with us, your highness,” Carlo said, and we got up.“ I could handle them if you say,” Andrew whispered.We all gave him a look as he shrugged his should
