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 POVThe chirpings of the birds and the cold breeze from the windows had woken me up from my deep sleep, one that fell on me immediately after Alpha Grindley had banged me so hard yesterday.I yawned tirelessly, making sure my back was still functioning by stretching with my eyes closed. Looking beside me, I realized Alpha Grindley was gone, but his scent filled everywhere. “My phone…” I whispered, yanking off the clothes from my body. I quickly dashed out of bed and aimed towards the bathroom, calling out his name to be sure he wasn't inside so I wouldn't be getting myself into trouble.“Aww…” I winced, touching myself below as I felt some lubricating fluid flow down from my vagina. “I feel sore,” I added, rolling my eyes to take away the sex scene from my head. Yes, he might have forced me to be in bed with him last night, but at some point, I couldn't help but surrender to the pleasure that came with it. It was–yikes, I better shake this off. “Alpha?” I called, opening the
Ava’s POVJust as Elder Jack saw that I was being serious about it, he cleared his throat, looking around, to be sure no one was listening. “I…” he paused a bit, his hand shaking uncontrollably, and his fears were something I could smell from afar. If an elder of the Mooner's pack is scared to disclose what went wrong many years back which had led to the death of my parents, then this must be something deadly.“I'm listening…” I started while waiting for elder Jack to say a word. I need to know what exactly is going on! I can't just stay here and wait for Alpha Grindley because, to me, it seems he had tricked me into marrying him, using my parent's death as bait to lure me in. And now that I've danced to his tune, he seems to have relaxed. “There's a bracelet…” Elder Jack paused when a maid walked past us. Quickly, I beckoned him to speak, but he wouldn't say a word. “I think we might want to find somewhere more quiet and safe. I can’t speak about this here. We have been warned.” E
Ava's POVI could see the shock in people's eyes. It looks as if I had committed one sort of taboo.I watched this god in front of me blink multiple times, watching me with awe before bursting into laughter."You know you are so funny, bold, and stupid!" His last words came like a bomb.I can't believe someone would call me stupid. I mean, I know Alpha Grindley uses force on me, and makes me want to do a lot of things with him, but he has never called me stupid."Maybe if you had waited, he might have broken the rules like this one is doing?" Neva interrupted."You know I do love a challenge," The Alpha in front of me replied."Whether you like a challenge or not, read my lips," I stood confidently before him. "I.Am.Not.Going.To-""Take her to the darkest place in the dungeons, and make her learn her lesson. Now!" he commanded.Just immediately the guards held me again, just like they had done earlier, dragging me towards the unknown."Neva, I feel dizzy," I replied, and soon I blacke
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
