Ava“ Ava?” Jenny came rushing to me seeing me sitting there as a silent sob escaped from my lips.“ Wh- what just happened?” She asked, standing beside me, rubbing my back soothingly.“ Where did you go?” I asked, looking at her through my blurry vision.“ I went to the kitchen to make coffee for you,” she answered.“ What exactly happened? What did you say to his highness?” she asked, looking at me with confusion.“ I don't know. He asked me if I wanted to have something specifically and I said no,” I told her. She sighed, shaking her head.“ Well, do you want something, now?” She asked.“ No, I lost my appetite,” I said.“ Come with me,” she said and waited for me to follow her.I stood up from my chair and followed her as she led me towards the hallway that was next to the kitchen. I didn't say anything nor did she.We walked until we reached the end of the hall and in front of a door. She pushed the door open and I was immediately hit by soft sunlight of the morning followed by t
GideonI cursed when Peter informed me about the hybrid's arrival when I was about to kiss her. Fu*k, it is damn difficult for me to focus when I see her like that in the changing room.I didn't want to burge in but her absence made me worried for a second and before they informed me where she was, I was already there. Ava came out of the changing room wearing her clothes and now looking at her I saw she was wearing my shirt. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. I could sense that he was coming near. Opening my eyes I looked at her before taking her hand in mine.“ Let's go,” I said and began to walk out of the store.“ Bring the car,” I said to Peter through the link.“ Majesty, I forgot my necklace in there,” she said, as she stopped.“ We will get another one,” I said and wanted her to follow me but she broke her hand free from my hold and looked at me in disbelief. I can't take the risk to expose our relationship just yet. I haven't marked her yet and it is highly dangerous for
Gideon I ran downstairs with rage. zender was clawing to get out. He wanted to mark her but I couldn't let that happen now. She will hate me for that rest of my life.Daro was already waiting for me in the living room and when he saw me he stood up. But I ran past him tearing my clothes as I shifted mid air.“ Your highness,” Daro called but it was too late. I run towards the forest away from Ava. I needed it badly after my encounter with Andrew.“ Daro, increase the guards of the palace. And tell a few warriors to stay put on the ground outside of my window,” I said through the link.“ Where are you?” He asked.“ Forest,”“ You need to get back, Gideon,” he said.“ I will in a while,” I said before dropping the link. I stopped reaching the peak of the mountain where no one enters. This was found by my mother and now it has become my private spot.I have built a villa inside the cave and most of it was created with magic. The bedroom has a spectacular view of the moon at night. The ba
Ava“ Thank you for the dinner,” Gideon said looking at me but I knew from his voice that it wasn't Gideon who was talking to me.“ You are his Lycan,” I said, and his eyes changed in a flash of a moment. He chuckled before looking at me again with his black orbs which reminded me of the calm and stormy night.“ Aren't you afraid of me, little one?” He asked. His voice was velvety but husky which was laced with lust.“ No,” I said honestly.“ Can we talk, little one?” He asked again. He is being so gentle with me like I am fragile and delicate.“ You are, my love,” he answered my unspoken question. My eyes went wide staring at him. Did he just read my mind? I asked myself.“ Yes I did,” he said with a smile on his lips. I narrowed my eyes on him because I don't like it.“ I won't do it again,” I said.Without saying a word he walked towards the bed with me in his arms and sat down on the mattress.“ Let me go,” I said, as I wanted to free myself from his hold.“ No!” His voice was low
Unknown “ We have found her, finally,” one of my men said. Looking out of the window I smiled. Finally, I thought, you will pay off what your mother wasn't able to give us.“ What should we do now?” He asked.“ Nothing,” I said.“ Why, she already has a mate,” he added.“ Who is it?” I asked through gritted teeth.“ The Lycan king,” he replied.Closing my eyes I took a sharp intake of breath. This is going to be a war. A war no one has ever witnessed and all the bloodshed will be on your name Susan, I thought in my head.“ But they didn't mark each other. And she has an aura of a human,” he added.“ Are you sure that she is the daughter of Susan?” I asked.“ She has the same features as her,” he replied.“ The ball will be held the day after tomorrow and we could make sure if she is really Susan's daughter. And if she is, we will take her away,” my son said.I didn't respond to him but I liked his idea. I really would like to see how she looks now that she is all grown up.Gideon“ Y
AvaI woke up to the sun softly kissing on my eyelids. I peered my eyes open slowly and looked towards the window where I saw Jenny was sitting on the couch while reading a book.“ Hey,” she said in a small voice as soon as she heard me sitting up.“ Good morning,” I said, my voice was hoarse and dry.“ Did you wait all night?” I asked when she stood up and walked to me.“ No, I came at dawn,” she replied.“ Are you alright now,” she asked as she sat next to me.“ Umm hmm,” I responded.I knew she would not believe me right now but one for sure I don't want to talk about what happened yesterday.I am being patient right now because of a strange dream I had last night.“ Would you like to have your breakfast here or would you like to join the rest of us?” Jenny asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“ Huh?”“ No. I don't want to see his face,” I spat.“ He won't be there. He is busy right now,” she said.“ Ok then I would like to go downstairs,” I said.“ Jenny?” I called her name think
GideonI sighed, walking back and forth as I felt restless. Finally today is the day I will announce that I found my mate. But there was a constant feeling that made me uneasy.“ Gideon, the council members are on their way,” Daro said, coming into my office.“ You should get ready, Gideon,” he said, walking to me. I know I would never be able to hide anything from him.“ Any news on the hybrid?” I asked and he shook his head.“ And what about the attackers?” I asked. There is still nothing about the attackers who attacked on the blue moon pack.“ There is nothing,” he said.“ I know it sounds crazy but it seems like they came and vanished into thin air,” he added.“ It is impossible, daro. There is no clue about anything. Wait! You heard about the lady who appeared with Alexandre in the blue moon pack, right?” I said and he nodded his head recalling what my men had said the other day about the stranger who showed up with the former alpha of the blue moon pack.“ Contact John,” I said
Ava“ Hello,” I said when the receiver picked up the call.“ Ava?” He asked.“ Yes. Did you have any news?”“ No, not yet. But I think we are close. I have tracked something down and I could send you the information if you want to,” he added.“ No no no!!! I need a favour,” I asked and he went silent. He knew something was wrong, otherwise I have never asked for help.“ I need you to come and pick me from the border,” I said.“ Which one? Wait, you didn't mean the border of the lycan Kingdom did you?” He asked and I went silent. I knew I was asking too much but I wouldn't be able to go far away with my human feet.“ I know it's too much but I seriously need your help guys,” I said.“ Too much? No you are asking us to go there with our life in our hands,” Liam said from the other side of the phone.“ It's okay……. Liam cut me off abruptly.“ We are coming. Be prepared. I have heard that forests are more mysterious than the ocean,” he said, his voice was filled with excitement.“ Thank y
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
