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

Gideon After searching the area for the 6th time I returned to the tree where Ava was tied. “ I shouldn't have left her alone,” I said to myself in defeat. “ It wasn't your fault, Gideon,” zender said for the first time since she was kidnapped. “ How it wasn't my fault, zender? I am the one who should have protected her knowing the danger yet I was the one who left her alone," I said to him. It has been more than 13 hours since I last saw her. I will not be able to forgive myself if anything happens to her, I thought, crouching down in front of the tree where she has been tied. “ Your highness,” Max said as he came running through the trees. He sounded like he was stressed. Getting up on my feet I turned around to face him. “ I…… i……. Have something……..,” he said panting heavily. I waited for him to continue. “ Someone wants to see you,” he said when he calmed down a bit. “ Who?” I asked, raising my eyebrows. “ Me,” I heard a female voice from behind before my gaze fell on
Ava I heard growls from afar, knowing that they were coming to get me. “ You can't get caught, Ava,” I said to myself as I panted. I didn't stop even for a second. “ Please moon goddess, help me. Guide me to find the barrier,” I prayed. Tears started rolling down from my eyes when I heard the sound of the paws hitting against the forest ground. Wiping the tears away using the back of my hand, I increased my speed before I fell on the damp ground when my feet hit a broken and dried branch of a tree. I groaned in pain as I tried to sit up. The pain was too intense for me to do anything. And from the pain I knew my leg was bleeding. “ No no no,” I said, shaking my head when the sound of the growl got nearer. I somehow managed to get up and walked towards the other way dragging my feets. My heart raced, when I looked back. I gasped, turning my head and walking, dragging my injured leg with me. Then my gaze fell on something which looked like a crack from where a rainbow kind of lig
Gideon “ Ava?” Max said as soon as his eyes fell on Ava in my arms. Shi* I cursed inwardly when she passed out. “ Agatha…… “ She is exhausted and weak. We must stop the bleeding,” she said. “ Come on, let's take her to her room,” Max said, leading us to her room. “ Daro, where are you?” I asked through the link when I noticed that there was no one in the pack house except max. “ I am with John, he was attacked a few hours ago,” he said. “ He said that they knew about him,” he added. “ Who?” “ Alexander and his mate,” he replied. “ Bring him into the pack house,” I said. “ Where is everyone?” I asked Max, as I put Ava in the bed. “ I don't know, they didn't tell me,” he replied. “ Agatha, why isn't she healing already? She helped me with my wound but her own wound wasn't healing,” I said looking at her leg. “ You need to mark her, your highness,” she replied. “ For now all we can do is to bandage the wound but for her to gain her powers she needs to be marked,” she added.
Ava“ What are you doing here?” Gideon asked me to walk.“ I wanted to see their faces,” I said , eyes of both of Linda's minions.“ Ava,” Alexander said as he came towards me, he panicked.“ You have come at the right moment. Looking at what his highness is saying. Did Linda mistreat you to receive such humiliation?” He asked, but I ignored him completely.“ Gideon,” I said looking at my mate. He knew what I wanted. He came behind me before pushing the wheelchair away and out of the front door.“ She is a black witch and they both are her helpers. Now I want to know from all of you. Why did you come here? What was your purpose? And who is behind all these?” I asked. Linda was trying to run away when Agatha casted a spell to make her fall on her knees in pain.“ I told you, I am not going to show any mercy today,” he said looking at Linda who was glaring daggers at Gideon. Good thing was that Agatha told me everything in advance and she was prepared.“ not even your mate,” he added.I
Gideon I waited patiently for Ava to fall asleep and when I knew that she was in deep sleep, I sneaked out of the room. “ Guard the room well and if anything happens call everyone and inform me,” i said to my men who were guarding the room. They all nodded their heads at me before I went away. Without wasting any time I straight went downstairs where Max was waiting for me. I need answers and I will not let them take a peaceful breath until I have it. “ Your highness,” Max said, sensing my presence and standing up from the couch. Looking at him I knew he is in a bad shape right now but since he is an alpha he should learn to control his emotions and handle situations. “ How are you doing?” I asked, looking at the dark circle under his eyes. “ Honestly, I don't know. I don't know what to feel? Should I feel bad that I did not spend time with my mother when she was alive because she always cared for Ava more than us? Or should I hate myself for calling a man dad all these years
Ava After I woke up I realised how wrong I was. I shouldn't have been rude to him. I called Ben who has been standing at the door since Goddess knows how long and told him to bring Agatha to me. “ Hello dear,” Agatha said as soon as she entered the room. “ Hey.” “ How are you feeling now?” She asked, walking me to my bed before sitting on it. “ Much better now that I am healing,” I said. “ Good good,” she replied. “ What do you want to ask?” She said, “ Do you know anything about the prophecy?” I asked. “ And why is it so important?” “ because it involves a mother who is a direct descendant of the moon goddess and someone who betrayed her trust,” she replied. From her words, all I knew was that I want to know more about this. “ Agatha?” I said, fidgeting with my fingers on my lap. “ Yes, darling.” “ Do you know my mother?” She asked. She sighed and for a moment she didn't say a word. It took me a few years to realise that I was adopted by my parents who I thought were my
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
