Ava's POV"You again?" The masculine voice repeated consistently like I had done something wrong. Like coming back was a mistake. I shook to the marrow, as I felt my hand freezing. It happened to have rained heavily before I got to Lyconia, and everywhere was freezing cold. I heard my teeth hit each other before I turned back to see Matthew, the man I had met the first time, who had introduced me to the Alpha of the Mooner's pack. "I guess you wanna pick up from where you left huh?" His words were harsh and mocking. My wet hair dripped of water, as I managed to speak with my knuckles hitting each other. "I want to see..." I shook consistently, my words barely above a whisper. "You want to see..." I looked at Matthew who delighted in mimicking me, before I heard my phone vibrating. Just as my phone started to vibrate, his eyes landed on my bag. I quickly dipped my hand inside of it and switched it off. Because if it happens that the caller is Aunt Janet, I might have everyone to c
Ava's POVI felt relief on my neck as I crashed into this stranger's strong arms with my eyes closed while I shook to the marrow. "Please...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." I stuttered, begging for my life, not until I heard a loud crash causing everyone to troop out of their place, looking in the right direction the sound had come from.My eyes dropped to the floor, and I saw Horland bleeding profusely. Looking back to face the person who had carried me in his arms, I almost fainted at the beauty staring right at me. He was 6 ft 9 tall. His golden eyes stared at me imminently as I felt my heart pounded against the walls of my heart. I looked at my right hand which was resting on his bare built chest, which was revealed as a result of his slightly opened button. His curly black hair complimented his thin, flat pink lips, and his pointed nose added to his beauty, which was so mesmerizing.I could see every lady place their hands on their mouth, looking at me in shock, as murmurs and whisper
Ava's POVI felt his hand move to the back of my clothes, and my eyes fell on his strong arms which lingered on my waist, as his eyes bored into mine.His smell, his scent, his sets of white teeth, his touch...it was like fire, and right now, even without him stripping off my clothes yet, I could feel naked. My wolf, Neva was already wagging her tail, and my face was all red hot."I..." I let out a small moaning sound, as the last drop of tears which had settled on my left eye, came dropping down."I...I don't wanna..." I paused a bit when he pulled me closer, my lips in thin lines, as I watched his lips, I felt a bit dumb, but in a flash, I pulled away, " I'm sorry, but I need to go back home. My Aunt must not know that I'm here," I stuttered in fear, as I felt his hand leave my waist."It's okay. Where is your home?" Alpha Grindley withdrew himself from me, looking at me so intensely, before getting a lighter shirt to cover his hot body--woah, he's fucking hot. I don't know how I man
Ava's POVI know Aunt Janet was watching out for me, trying her best to make sure I was fine, to make sure I was okay, but this was just too intense. This was too much for me! And right now, I do not think I can take it any longer.I clenched my fist, with tears rolling down my cheeks, I looked at Aunt Janet, who was still standing at the entrance of the door."You can never know the way I feel. I was the one who lost her parents, Aunt Janet!" I lashed at her in anger for the first time, sniffing violently; as I moved back slowly, with my cheeks still burning hot, I entered back into the rain, which had already started to drizzle, causing my clothes to get soaked instantly.“You think I do not know how you–”“No, you don’t! My parents died without any traces. I was the one who watched them got rid to pieces. You were not the one. And what? You want me to sit by, and do nothing, even when there are chances for me to find out who was behind this murderer?” I yelled in the rain, my tears
Ava’s POVI felt more tears form in my eyes as I shook my head, refusing to take my Aunt’s hand. I knew she was going to lock me up again and make me feel sober.I knew she was going to make me give up on fighting for my parents and living the life I wanted to live–being able to live as a werewolf and not trying so hard to live like a human.“Ava, aren’t you going to regret this?” Aunt Janet questioned, her hands still stretched from afar. “You know, you can take my hand right now, I’m ready to walk you down the tough road. All you have to do is believe me,” she tried to convince me, but I was bent on my decision.“No Aunt, I wanna do this,” Just as I was done talking, I signaled Alpha Grindley to enter back into the car. “Sure princess,” Just as he spoke the word which was making me feel better, I looked at him open the door to the front seat, and take a look at my Aunt again, as she burst into tears, one that made her crash to the ground, as she called my name repeated, I looked awa
Ava's POVI shook in fear, as I felt my ears tingle. My legs cringed, and I didn't realize when I buried my hand into his broad back which was now free from the prison of clothes, as I felt his finger dig right inside of me, making its way deeper, and causing me to hyperventilate, as I opened my mouth in an "O" form, I held him tighter for support."Mmm...aww..." I felt what seemed like a hot fluid flow down my bowels, one that I never felt the day I lost my virginity. Today was much smoother, sweeter, and wetter, and to top it all, I felt much more horny than I had felt with the stranger that ripped me apart that day.I closed my eyes and fed the heat of the moment, the passion..the...the--"Aww...Grindley..." I felt a drop of water leave my eyes, his hand off my beneath as I heard some strange sounds, causing me to pass out some fluid again. I felt my head was in the clouds, and I couldn't believe I wanted him so badly.So badly...but...why is my heart pounding so hard against the wa
Ava's POVThe rays from the sun were reflected through the windows, casting its glow on my face, as I used my left hand to cover my face in what seemed like a reflex.I was still trying to open my eyes when the memories of what had happened last night flashed through my head. From the moment I walked away from Aunt Janet, into Grindley's car, and down to the Mooners pack, and how he had banged me so hard last night. Right now, I think I'm regretting this. "Uh," I winced in pain as I touched my neck, which seemed to be a bit open. I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh, getting up to see myself still naked in the Lycan king's bed. So much for the distraction, I feel a bit sore beneath, even though it was not my first time. I guess I'm still tight. "Owww," I felt some sharp pain below my abdomen. I guess I was banged so hard that even my legs were still shaking, causing me to crash to the floor on my first attempt to leave the bed."Aww... Grindley," I whispered under my breath and smil
Ava's POVI shook in fear, as my eyes darted from one place to another. I felt my head go off a bit, as I blinked countless times before finally summoning the courage to speak. "You never said that when I was--""That was before you became mine!" He seethed, carefully packing my hair sideways, and gently I could feel his lips on the marked area on my neck. I swallowed hard, as I felt some cold running down my spine; I couldn't look at the maids standing in front of me, as each of them had some hint of jealousy on their faces."You smell so good that I wanna dig in again," Alpha Grindley whispered into my ears, and fear gripped me, causing me to wriggle away from him almost immediately. I realized I might have made the worst decision last night. Maybe I was not thinking straight. Why the hell would I allow him to mark me as his own last night? How could he restrict me from going to see my aunt? "Well...you could always run," Neva, my wolf, wasn't done with her suggestions when Alpha
Ava’s POVMy eyes were blindfolded during the journey, but I was sure of one thing, I’d been taken so far from the Mooner’s pack, and even from the city at large.“Hiya!” I could hear some men hitting the horses, while they neighed louder.“We are not stopping, the Alpha is expecting us tonight.” I could hear the voice of their commander.Since I’d been tied with a rope that I couldn’t seem to break loose from, I decided to let go.But just as I was trying to sleep, I could hear some muffled voices behind me. It was then I realized I wasn’t alone.“I can sense many people in here, we are not the only ones,” Neva my wolf replied.“Neva, are you okay now? Can you help me break off this chain?” I communicated with Neva through my mind.This is rare, not everyone can do that. But for some reason, I could.“I can’t. I’m still weak. I can smell wolfbane a few miles from here. It’s weakening me.” Neva replied.“Fuck! But who the hell was Alex? Something tells me he’s not real. I shouldn’t hav
Ava’s POVI froze on the spot upon hearing Alpha Grindley’s voice from behind.“Do you think he heard us?” I whispered, my palm becoming all sweaty.“I don’t know,” Neva purred.And as I trembled on the spot, I felt so confused and lost. I didn't even know where to turn until I felt a hand pull me inside one of the corners in the palace.“Please don’t–” I wasn’t done talking when he placed his hand on my lips.“Don’t speak,” he whispered, looking out to be sure Alpha Grindley was gone.“I thought I heard Ava’s voice?” I could hear Alpha Grindley talking to the werewolf soldiers who had turned me back from entering my room the other time.“Yes, Alpha. We didn’t allow her inside. Just as you commanded,” The werewolf soldier reported.“Good,” he replied, surveying around before leaving.And just immediately he left, I heaved a sigh. “Who are you?” I suddenly became conscious of the man that was standing beside me.“I’m John’s friend,” he stepped away from me, bowing to show some respect
Ava’s POVJust after he said that he turned towards me, throwing my clothes at me annoyingly.I blinked countless times, as I looked at him, shocked.“W–What are you doing?” I questioned, holding the bedsheet closer to my chest, as the clothes he threw landed on my face.“Get into those, and get out of my room.” He ordered, looking at me so weirdly like he wasn’t just all over me a few seconds ago.“Can I have my phone now?” I asked.“Didn’t you hear me? Or have you suddenly gone deaf?” He snapped at me, growling.Just as I saw his red eyes, I quickly put on my clothes and dashed out of the room.“Get out!” he roared.Slamming the door shut, I ran into Sandra who pushed me away, causing me to hit my head against the wall which was close by.I could hear the maids giggling, and just when I seethed, they scurried off quickly.I slammed my hand on the floor in anger, picking up my underwear, and for the first time, I looked Sandra in the eyes.“What exactly is your problem?” I seethed.“S
Ava's POVJust as he pulled me closer, I felt his beard brush against my neck, as he left some hickey on my neck, while I held the door handle tighter.I felt more tears roll down my cheeks.I know I'm supposed to resist this guy here after I've lost one child to the cold hands of death. But I find myself fighting so hard with this unrealistic emotion that exists between us."Grindley, why are you doing this?" I gasped as I felt his hand trailing my thighs from beneath.What is this? Are we doing this again?! I thought to myself as I quickly yanked his hand off."Leave me alone, please!" I shouted.The more I tried to avoid him, the wetter I felt.I mean, the heat, and the tension in this room--the aura he exhibits, they are just too much for me to say no to.If only I can avoid the air this monster breathes in.I knew I was stuck with Alpha Grindley, and he would stop at nothing tonight other than to penetrate me. I can see it in his eyes.And the worst part was, there was no way I wa
Ava's POVJust as I watched this creature who was backing me, turning himself to face me gradually, a hand reached out from behind, and I woke up to reality.My breath became unstable, and my heartbeat raced faster.I was back to reality.Back to the whole pain, I thought I had left behind. I'm back to the Mooner's pack where all my troubles had began.And as tears rolled down my cheeks, I tried to reach out to Avanti, the lady that had helped me, but I finally came back to my senses."It was all a dream, Ava," I spoke silently to myself.I was mad at myself. I felt so angry. “Neva, we were close to seeing him,” I burst into tears.Wiping my tears as I tried to comfort myself.Maybe it’s time to go back home. This is useless anyway. Maybe I was doing too much. I couldn’t help but recall Aunt Janet’s voice in my head."You know Ava, I want you to have a good life. Marry a good man, and set aside any grudges you hold against your parent’s mysterious murderer.” “But Aunt, I can’t just f
Grindley’s POVNo sooner had I laid Ava on the bed than I noticed some strange voices from unusual quarters.My senses heightened, and my ears became sharper, causing me to leave Ava with the doctor who was attending to her.“I will be back. Nothing must happen to her, because if she dies, you will pay with your blood,” I threatened solemnly.“Yes, Alpha,” just as he bowed towards me, I reluctantly left Ava and started trailing the sound I kept hearing.Just as I got to one of the guest rooms which was a bit far from my main room, since I had lots of visitors.The scene happening right in front of me had left me dumbstruck.“When did they start this?” I questioned myself.I have always known it. Elara wasn't going to change, and now she has the guts to do this with my beta?I felt disgusted and angry. I can't believe Elara was still a whore even up till now.I thought she had changed.Flashback“Pack your things, Elara. I don't want to see you in this pack again.” I had sent Elara away
Ava’s POV“Hello,” I woke up in a place that was more like a garden.The sun was shining at its peak, and the aura from the flowers was a balm to my wounded soul.“Neva, are you there?” I called out. But I was met with just silence.“Hello, beautiful lady,” A voice had jolted me out of my thoughts.Looking behind me fearfully, I tried so hard to swallow the lump in my throat.“Hello, who are you? Show yourself,” I replied in fear.All I could feel were a breeze and shadows, one that passed through me at regular intervals.“Hello, Ava,” finally a feminine audible voice spoke from behind me.Turning back slowly, I clenched my fist, and partly shut my eyes.“I’m not here to hurt you, sweetheart. You can open your eyes now,” She added, placing her hand on my shoulders.And just as I did that, I saw an old woman who should probably be in her mid-sixties, standing in front of me. Her hair was old, but partially.Her body was all wrinkled, and the hands which she placed on my shoulder shook.
Ava’s POVI watched the werewolf soldier tremble in fear, his eyes fixed on his sword.I could read the surrounding tension, and I knew something dangerous was about to happen.“Cat got your tongue?! Why is no one answering me?” Their Alpha questioned.“Alpha, we tried our best, but we couldn't get the treasure. And—” The soldier's words came to an abrupt end as the Alpha passed through him with his sword.Blood came squirting everywhere, and his head fell off his neck instantly.“You didn't find the treasure?” he lashed in anger, his hand gagging the soldier who held me captive and had brought me to him.“We tried but…we couldn't, Alpha.” He choked on his words.I smirked, knowing fully that the treasure they sought after was still in the Mooner's pack, but could only be seen by those who possess a special ability beyond the werewolf powers.“So you brought me a woman instead of a treasure? Have you gone mad?!” He growled, smashing him against the wall while he walked towards me.“And
Ava’s POVA loud bang woke me up from my sleep, and I felt a whip hit me from behind.“Fuck! That hurts!” I winced in pain.“Wake them up! Wake the slaves up. We gotta move faster!” I heard a fierce voice speak from behind.I watched the man who seemed huge, and his eyes had the moon’s light in them, pulling us out with the chains on our legs dangling.“Move it!” He shouted.And it dawned on me that Aunt Janet wasn’t the one who had attacked us earlier.It seemed to be the Mooner’s pack enemies.“If anyone is not listening to your commands, just kill them off. Remember, the Alpha hates sluggish people!” their leader lashed out.And as we walked in chains, some feeble ones amongst us kept falling, and without wasting much time, they were killed on the spot.“Double up!” the man in charge of the slaves continued to kill the weak ones who seemed to fall on the way.It was clear to me right now–everything was clear.The reason why my parents had left Lyconia to settle in the city.Why Aun
