Was he really involved or??? Honestly, as your author I'm confused. đ©đ© This man is just so...cunning. Don't you agree? And who's the baby mama? God! Phew!
Avaâs 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 packâelder John, and his son Jack, who served as a guard to me all through yesterday.âIf she escapes on your watch, no matter your position or whose son you may be, I will skin you alive!â 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 couldnât believe I would finally become the Luna of the Moonerâs pack. My desire wo
Avaâs POVJust after we exchanged the vow, I felt uneasy and couldnât even think straight. I glanced at the rings on my fingers every second while my eyes couldnât help but stay fixed on Alpha Grindley, who was greeting some of the guests.âYou should smile more. You looked as if you were forced into this marriage with me. At least, we had some agreement. And thatâs exactly what we are working towards right?â 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. âOkay,â I spoke silently, careful not to allow others to see me before they concluded that the Luna of the Moonerâs pack was going crazy on her first night.âI wonder where Sandra is?â 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
Avaâs 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. âMy phoneâŠâ 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.âAwwâŠâ I winced, touching myself below as I felt some lubricating fluid flow down from my vagina. âI feel sore,â 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 wasâyikes, I better shake this off. âAlpha?â I called, opening the
Avaâs 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. âIâŠâ 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.âI'm listeningâŠâ 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. âThere's a braceletâŠâ Elder Jack paused when a maid walked past us. Quickly, I beckoned him to speak, but he wouldn't say a word. âI think we might want to find somewhere more quiet and safe. I canât speak about this here. We have been warned.â E
Avaâs POVFear gripped me as I rushed out, only to be met by a sword that almost thrust into me, causing me to scream at the top of my voice. âAhh!!â I screamed. Seeing how the Mooner's pack was massacred and even the maids were not left behind. It's clear that whoever these attackers were, they didn't come to enslave anyone, but they were so mean. âNeva, I'm scared.â I cried out, as I felt my legs become so heavy. I didn't know where to run to. Everywhere was filled with blood, which flowed down my feet. âHave you seen the Luna?â I heard Alpha Grindley's voice asking his second-in-command, John. âNo, Alpha!â âKeep fighting. I think we can't hold this for long. Ask everyone to retreat. Fast!â I heard Alpha Grindley command. I wanted to let him know that I'm here, but if I do, I cannot escape like this. I might have made a mistake by coming to the Mooner's pack. I never knew this was what I'd face. I've never witnessed this kind of scary occasion before. Heads rolling, hands tea
Avaâs POVThe warmth from the fire burning in the little cottage in the house had woken me up from a deep sleep. At the slightest move of my body, I felt my head bang a bit while I struggled with my vision. I could see tables like sticks, and soon it was all clear, and Aunt Janet was standing right in front of me with a cup of coffee. âAre you fully awake now? Can you see me?â Aunt Janet's voice jolted me out of my thoughts while I nodded my head like a five-year-old child. âYes, yes I'm fine.â I nodded my head while I watched Aunt Janet hand down the cup of coffee she was holding to me before settling down on the sofa close to me, staring at me as if expecting something more. Upon taking a sip of the coffee, I started to feel uneasy, since Aunt Janet's eyes never for once left my face. âIs there something you want to talk toâââNo,â I interrupted her even before she could finish her statement. How the hell am I supposed to tell her that the one-night stand I had the other night
Avaâs POV Just as the knock kept coming, my aunt had no other choice than to leave me inside, making sure the chains were well tightened. âAunt Janet! Let me go! I promise⊠I promise to be onâŠmy best behavior!â I shouted, pulling the chains at regular intervals, even though I was sure it couldn't break this way. Why is everyone treating me this way? Why is everyone making me feel so less? Even my aunt? âI'm so tired!â I screamed in anger, tears flowing down from the fountain of my eyes. Ever since the death of my parents, I've always had reasons to cry every single day. I can't believe right now that I'm becoming a parent soon as well. I can't birth this baby if I can't find the father. I would rather flush out of my system or find a way to get out of here to look for him. âYou can't just lock me here! Alpha Grindley will find me! Aunt Janet!â I screamed upon hearing the clanging of the padlocks on the gate. âShut the hell up! I can't allow you to go back to Lyconia. You will b
Avaâs POV At first, I stood in fear as I watched the two werewolves walk towards me, while Penny stood fixed in a position shivering in fear. At least, I could feel Nevaâs strength was back since I've been released. And I knew I could scare them off if I could take them down. Could they be looking for me? I meanâitâs rare to see wolves in the human world. Why are they here? I thought to myself. Could Alpha Grindley have found out that I ledr already, and he had sent these people to look for me? Are they going to kill us? âIf you don't take my help, Penny's going to die!â Neva, my wolf, interrupted my thoughts. âIf I do that she's going to get scared of me! I don't have any other friends, Neva.â I stuttered as I watched the two werewolves stand in front of us, with their mouths filled with blood. It appears they had just killed someone at the club, who happened to have strayed out. âThey look fresh and succulent,â one of them spoke, wiping his mouth. âWe are gonna die,â Penny s
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
Avaâs POVMy eyes were blindfolded during the journey, but I was sure of one thing, Iâd been taken so far from the Moonerâs pack, and even from the city at large.âHiya!â I could hear some men hitting the horses, while they neighed louder.âWe are not stopping, the Alpha is expecting us tonight.â I could hear the voice of their commander.Since Iâd been tied with a rope that I couldnât 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 wasnât alone.âI can sense many people in here, we are not the only ones,â Neva my wolf replied.âNeva, are you okay now? Can you help me break off this chain?â I communicated with Neva through my mind.This is rare, not everyone can do that. But for some reason, I could.âI canât. Iâm still weak. I can smell wolfbane a few miles from here. Itâs weakening me.â Neva replied.âFuck! But who the hell was Alex? Something tells me heâs not real. I shouldnât hav
Avaâs POVI froze on the spot upon hearing Alpha Grindleyâs voice from behind.âDo you think he heard us?â I whispered, my palm becoming all sweaty.âI donât know,â 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.âPlease donâtââ I wasnât done talking when he placed his hand on my lips.âDonât speak,â he whispered, looking out to be sure Alpha Grindley was gone.âI thought I heard Avaâs voice?â I could hear Alpha Grindley talking to the werewolf soldiers who had turned me back from entering my room the other time.âYes, Alpha. We didnât allow her inside. Just as you commanded,â The werewolf soldier reported.âGood,â he replied, surveying around before leaving.And just immediately he left, I heaved a sigh. âWho are you?â I suddenly became conscious of the man that was standing beside me.âIâm Johnâs friend,â he stepped away from me, bowing to show some respect
Avaâs 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.âWâWhat are you doing?â I questioned, holding the bedsheet closer to my chest, as the clothes he threw landed on my face.âGet into those, and get out of my room.â He ordered, looking at me so weirdly like he wasnât just all over me a few seconds ago.âCan I have my phone now?â I asked.âDidnât you hear me? Or have you suddenly gone deaf?â He snapped at me, growling.Just as I saw his red eyes, I quickly put on my clothes and dashed out of the room.âGet out!â 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.âWhat exactly is your problem?â I seethed.âS
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. âNeva, we were close to seeing him,â I burst into tears.Wiping my tears as I tried to comfort myself.Maybe itâs time to go back home. This is useless anyway. Maybe I was doing too much. I couldnât help but recall Aunt Janetâs 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 parentâs mysterious murderer.â âBut Aunt, I canât just f
Grindleyâs 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.âI will be back. Nothing must happen to her, because if she dies, you will pay with your blood,â I threatened solemnly.âYes, Alpha,â 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.âWhen did they start this?â 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.FlashbackâPack your things, Elara. I don't want to see you in this pack again.â I had sent Elara away
Avaâs POVâHello,â 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.âNeva, are you there?â I called out. But I was met with just silence.âHello, beautiful lady,â A voice had jolted me out of my thoughts.Looking behind me fearfully, I tried so hard to swallow the lump in my throat.âHello, who are you? Show yourself,â I replied in fear.All I could feel were a breeze and shadows, one that passed through me at regular intervals.âHello, Ava,â finally a feminine audible voice spoke from behind me.Turning back slowly, I clenched my fist, and partly shut my eyes.âIâm not here to hurt you, sweetheart. You can open your eyes now,â 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.
Avaâs 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.âCat got your tongue?! Why is no one answering me?â Their Alpha questioned.âAlpha, we tried our best, but we couldn't get the treasure. Andââ 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.âYou didn't find the treasure?â he lashed in anger, his hand gagging the soldier who held me captive and had brought me to him.âWe tried butâŠwe couldn't, Alpha.â 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.âSo you brought me a woman instead of a treasure? Have you gone mad?!â He growled, smashing him against the wall while he walked towards me.âAnd
