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 POVJust as I stood there startled, my eyes fixed on the diamond ring that was on the strange lady coming out from Alpha Grindley's chamber, which I feel I can now refer to as my chamber, I ran into a confused state. Swallowing hard, I found it hard to introduce myself.Right now, that wasn't even the issue, the issue was who is this girl, and what right she had to enter--"Hey," her words interrupted my thoughts, and I cringed when she dragged me closer and pulled me into her embrace, patting me slowly and giggling playfully."I'm so sorry if I startled you for a moment. That's just the way I play around. And oh..." she pointed behind her, as she refused to let go of my hand."I was sent by my brother to get his glasses," She replied, while I stood there thinking everything happening right now was a dream. At first, I thought she was Alpha Grindley's fiance, and now she is--what? His sister? Are they trying to mess with my brain or what?I was still watching in awe when she exte
Ava's POVI had woken up to a very hectic headache. And as I managed to get up, but a powerful muscular hand had stopped me from doing so. "I wouldn't do that if I were you.""Alpha Grindley?" I called, looking at Sandra, his sister, who seemed to be dozing off already, before opening her eyes to see me awake."Ava? You are awake. I was so scared. I thought--wait, are you feeling okay now?" Sanda walked towards me, checking out my hands, and the rest of my body, before hugging me tight. With her doing all this, I felt like I've met her for years. But no matter how nice she was, she cannot replace Penny, and my aunt--Janet."You can get some sleep now, I'll look after her." I watched her disengage from me, yawning with her mouth wide open, one can easily imagine that she was really tired.I held my head with my left hand and closed my eyes deeply, trying to recollect what had happened and why I got to this stage.Opening my eyes, I met Alpha Grindley sitting right in front of me, his e
Ava's POV I felt like my head was up in the clouds; I felt so light, and right now, I think I'm really dying. Could this be the end of it all? An escape from my reality? I can only be dead to see my mother. Right?"Ava," a faint voice had called me from afar."Mother," I called, but another voice seemed to be distracting me from hearing from her. "Ava, wake up," I felt a hand shook me so hard, and in a flash, I felt everything go off. The lights, the sonorous, and the echoing sounds, and I was back to reality. At the window where I almost tripped off with Sandra in front of me. And the last drop of tears in my eyes fell on my cheeks. "Mother," I called, with my eyes trickling down with water. "I saw my--""I would advise you not to do that here. My brother shouldn't be seeing this." Sandra warned, lifting me from the ground, and wiping off my tears. "Please...please don't tell him. Please...I'm begging you. I don't want him to know," "Hey, hey, calm down," Sandra ran her hands th
Ava’s POVJust like the day I had fainted, I was wonderfully and magnificently dressed, but this time, it was no longer an introduction to the pack; it was now a mating ceremony.Honestly, why we have to hurry to do this mating ceremony is what I do not understand, at least I had agreed to be his Luna. So why do we have to rush?My heart raced faster against the walls of my chest as I walked down to the palace, with my hand locked with one of the controversial elders in the pack–elder John, and his son Jack, who served as a guard to me all through yesterday.“If she escapes on your watch, no matter your position or whose son you may be, I will skin you alive!” Alpha Grindley had threatened Jack so badly yesterday before leaving, sending more fear into me.Since my parents are dead, no one would hand me over to Alpha Grindley, so this is the best they could come up with.My body shook to the marrow, as I couldn’t believe I would finally become the Luna of the Mooner’s pack. My desire wo
Ava’s POVJust after we exchanged the vow, I felt uneasy and couldn’t even think straight. I glanced at the rings on my fingers every second while my eyes couldn’t help but stay fixed on Alpha Grindley, who was greeting some of the guests.“You should smile more. You looked as if you were forced into this marriage with me. At least, we had some agreement. And that’s exactly what we are working towards right?” Alpha Grindley spoke in whispers, using his mind-linking powers.I swallowed hard, trying so hard to compose myself, I nodded in affirmation to his words. “Okay,” I spoke silently, careful not to allow others to see me before they concluded that the Luna of the Mooner’s pack was going crazy on her first night.“I wonder where Sandra is?” I whispered to myself, setting my eyes to meet Alpha Grindley as I tried to step out of the room.The room was a bit clumsy as people could be seen dancing with their spouses, some making out, while others even went as low as they could, fucking
Ava's POVAll through the journey home, no one said a word. Not me, nor Xander. As for Alpha Lark, he slept for a long time, without opening his eyes.By the time we finally get back to the pack house, Xander made me know he was going to attend Alpha Lark, while I go see my friend, Penny. Fortunately, she was asleep.I pecked her head and made sure the blanket was wrapped around her well. Heaving a sigh, I went back to the things I packed from Aunt Janet's side. The question as to who I was kept ringing in my head."I healed him, Neva. How is that even possible?" I closed my eyes, sinking into the chair next to me. Since we got home late, everyone had gone to bed, and just a few werewolf soldiers were available."What do we do now?" Neva questioned."I don't know, Neva. I just want Lark to get better." I responded, trying to pick up the white paper with the blood stains I had seen while packing Aunt Janet's stuff."What could she have written?" I reminisced aloud but was interrupted b
Ava's POVFear gripped me as I allowed Neva to take over my entirety. "Someone's coming," Neva purred.Quickly, I closed the door leading to Aunt Janet's room, and I remained silent.Suddenly I saw a shadow pass by the window side, causing my heart to leap. With my lips drawn into thin lines, I was ready to fight back by opening the door only for me to bump into Lark.Screaming hard, he curbed my hand, causing me to miss the attack. "Let me go!" I yelled, panting heavily."Calm down, sweetheart. It's me. It's Lark." he cautioned, holding me tighter."Goddess! You scared me." I paused, trying to catch my breath.Quickly Alpha Lark's guard rushed in. "Take everything packed into the car. We'll join you shortly," he added.I looked around, still trembling at the whole tense situation. I was sure I saw a shadow, and--"You are still shaking, Ava. What happened?" Alpha Lark questioned, his eyes fixed on mine."I feel someone killed my aunt. And the person is after me too," I trembled. Yes,
Ava's POVI had arrived on the day she was to be buried. My eyes fell on the memorial photo frame, which contained not just Aunt Janet's photo. I was shocked to see my photo alongside hers. Do they really think I was dead as well?My legs wobbled beneath me as I felt tears roll out of my eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't believe the next time I'd be seeing my aunt would be in this coffin. The white, and gold coffin staring at me-it was as if I could see her.Right now, I don't even know if getting back my memories was worth it. What I feel now is pain and anguish. I feel hurt. I felt the lungs in my air a bit restricted. Holding the wall for support, I picked up my overflowing gown, as I tried to help myself in. Refusing help from Alpha Lark's guards.I had wanted to come alone, but he wouldn't let me. My heart ached so much that I couldn't help but burst into more tears, causing everyone to look back.The first person that caught my attention was Penny. Judging from her swollen face, I
Ava's POVValerie? Again? What exact;y does this lady want from me?"Valerie, get back inside." Alpha Lark commanded."Seriously? Do you want me to say everything here?" Valerie asked, staring at me in anger."Xander!" Alpha Lark reached out to his beta."Alpha, there is a breach in the south wall where our other pack is, he went to settle that," One of the werewolf soldiers reported."Take her inside, right now." Alpha Lark commanded the soldier."I will not take that from you!" Valerie lashed out."And I am your Alpha, I won't allow you to disrespect me in this manner!" Alpha Lark shouted, controlling his wolf from taking over. I trembled in fear upon hearing him thunder at Valerie."I might be a gentleman, but do not take that for granted." Alpha Lark growled. Turning towards the soldier who had reported to him about Xander. "If I turn to meet this thing here, you'll be sorry!""You called me a thing because of her?" Valerie was still struggling with the soldier when she got hit fr
Ava's POVJolting us back into reality, the knock came yet again."Alpha, there's someone here to see you," the werewolf soldier announced.I quickly took a step back, heaving a sigh as if I had just got a load off my neck, I watched Alpha Lark walk closer to me. Holding my hand like a gentleman, I was short of words.Even though I'm pregnant, and have no idea what happened in my previous life, everything I feel for him this man looks new. Like I've never loved before. It all feels like a new start.Right now, I think I'd want to be like this. If my past was a painful one, and this is my reality. Then I want to be like this."Hey, Priceless," he moved closer to me, stroking my face gently. He kissed my forehead."I don't know why this is happening, but I want you to know that you are safe with me," Alpha Lark pulled me closer. Hugging me tighter, I felt a bit at ease."The visitor came for you," Alpha Lark replied.At first, I couldn't place what he was saying. But when he finally rea
Grindley's POV"I must have been thinking a lot," I smiled, reaching out for another drink, after realizing that the whole of Ava's Aunt being here was just my mind playing tricks on me.But I might actually be putting this pack at risk. Since I know that Ava's heart is a hunter-I've lived each day in fear of her coming back.What if she comes back with her hunter friends? Over the years, the werewolf world has been on the run from the hunters because we've never been able to contend with them.I think I need to just take away all these feelings. I can't stop thinking about Ava. Am I really sad?"Alpha, I think you need to get some rest," one of the soldiers whom I had been very kind to, over the years spoke from a mile away."And you think because I've been good to you...you think you have the right to tell me what to do huh?" I shouted, my voice holding some growls in it."I know since the Luna left the palace, you feel empty and sad, but--""Enough! Peter, go back to your position!"
Ava's POVJust as I opened my eyes, I could barely see anything, and in front of me, people looked like trees.Even though I could hear their voices, I could barely see who was standing right before me. I placed my hand gently on my forehand, as I tried to get out of bed."Hey, Priceless," A hand reached my shoulders, and I was fast to yank it off."Wow, that was--""Fast?" another person spoke before I finally saw who was standing in front of me."Alpha Lark," I heaved a sigh retreating into bed upon realizing I was in safe hands, only for me to see the Kitsune girl staring at me as if she wanted me dead."Priceless," Alpha Lark approached holding by the hand, while the whole place went quiet."Did someone die?" I was forced to ask seeing how tensed the whole place was.The doctor and everyone stared at me with pitiful eyes, one that I had yet to understand."There's something you need to know first--""That you are my mate?" I quickly chimed in. I know I might have lost the most impo
Grindley's POVIt's been days since Ava has gone missing, and I couldn't help but blame it all on each and everyone that contributed to it.“You motherfucker! You caused this!” I lashed at Lucan, my brother, in anger.“And you were told she wasn't here. You brought this up on us!” Lucan's voice resonated through my ears as I heaved a sigh, my hand clenched to the arm of my throne.Drinking every day became the order of the day, as I couldn't do without seeing, Ava.I never knew I've gotten this attached, not until her body went missing beside the river Lucian had drowned, and till day I found myself thinking of her.Every lady brought forward–none of them mattered to me. All I wanted was Ava.Surprisingly, Lucian's body was the only thing found, Ava’s body disappeared mysteriously, when I've just watched Lucian took her with him while he fell off the cliff.I was lost in thoughts when one of my soldiers called from behind.“Alpha!”“Yes! Did you find her?” I questioned, handling the gl
Ava's POVFear gripped me as I looked at myself in the mirror, and different thoughts ran through my mind.The maids watched my hands tremble as they braided my hair into a ponytail to suit the dress I was wearing.Knock!"Who is it?" I asked solemnly."The Alpha is at the dining table, and he's waiting," a masculine voice responded."Just a minute," I replied, my heart racing faster.Unsure of what to do, I asked that I be given a glass of water to cool off before I finally got set to meet him."Shall we?" Xander who was already at the door asked, stretching his hand to me.I heaved a sigh and swallowed hard before I put my hand in his, while he walked me down the hallway.Before I got to the dining hall, I could hear people chattering, and the clinking of glass cups, with some soft music below.My heart fluttered, as I froze on the spot, before thinking of what to say once I stepped into the gathering.I didn't know Xander his Beta could feel my resistance, not until he spoke funnily
