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
Lenaâs POVI had woken up the the smell of herbs which had stung my nose so badly, causing me to sneeze out.âFinally, you are awake,â âWho are you and where am I?â I asked the young lady whose back was against me.Judging from the way she looked, I can tell she is the packâs doctor. But this doesnât bother me at all. I just want to leave this place and go back home. Although Iâm aware that my absence wonât be felt, I still have to leave this place.âThis is the Moonerâs pack. And the prince had brought you here for treatment,â The young lady replied, packing her tools back into her toolkit.âMoonerâs pack? The Prince?â I repeated, staring at her, confused.âI have to leave now,â She said, motioning towards the door. âMy work here is finished.ââButâââThank you,â I heard a masculine voice just outside the corridor. Moving backward a bit, I saw him walk in. The handsome young man who had rescued me earlier in the woods.Getting a closer look at him right now, he doesnât look so bad
Grindleyâs POVâYouâve always been doing this, Nora,â I reprimanded before sitting on the throne, gripping its arm so firmly.âYou cannot just disown him because heâs not interested in Eva, Grindley.â Nora shot back angrily."Itâs high time that he mans up, Nora. You cannot treat a grown-up man like a child,ââAnd you think forcing him into marriage will make him become an adult? Are you even thinking?â Nora flinched before turning towards the maids.âLeave us, all of you,â I commanded in anger, striking my fist against the arm of my throne.Just as everyone had left, I walked down from my throne, staring at Nora in disgust. âIâm not forcing him into marriage. Iâm doing whatâs right,â I lashed at her in anger, my eyes filled with rage.Itâs been twenty years since Ava had disappeared, and my hopes of ruling the world got shattered. The battle between the werewolves and the shadow wolves was so fierce that even the victory we had at that time was a narrow escape.I never knew Nora wa
Lenaâs POVI felt my chest burn, causing me to throw up blood in front of everyone.I collapsed to the ground as the pain of the rejection hit me hard. I felt my body tremble as tears welled down my cheeks.After loving Ashley for many years, it was a painful thing to be met by rejection and humiliation in front of the whole pack.âI think the moon goddess was mistaken to have given Lena to Ashley. He deserves better than her,â I heard one of the pack members whisper.Liana smiled wickedly, as she quickly controlled herself upon seeing me looking at her with tears rolling down my cheeks.Why do I deserve this hatred from my people? Why do they hate me so much?Henza rushed towards me, holding me against her chest as I watched Ashley walk towards my sister Liana.I could read her expression. This is what she has always desired.It was now I knew that Ashley had only played a game between the two of us to see the one will get her wolf amongst us.Right now, I feel betrayed, humiliated,
Lenaâs POVAs I stepped into the spot light, I shone brighter in the middle of the ballroom, my jewelry complemented the sparkles as I walked elegantly towards my father.âPrincess Lena is here,â the guards announced.I was sure I had stolen the spotlight as I watched jealousy play on Lianaâs face. âSheâs so beautiful,â I could hear whispers from the pack members. Not only was I beautiful, but I was breathtaking that every eligible Alpha of the neighboring packs couldnât help but drool over me.Even my father's jaw dropped upon seeing me tonight. âShe looks a lot like Ava now,â Xander his beta said with a smile on his face.Unlike Aunt Penny, who looks at me with some sort of hateful eyes, Xander, her husband and mate was caring and nice towards me. The only thing was that after the death of my mother, I was told he was the only confidante my father had in the pack.âShall we start?â My father said, clearing his throat before relaxing back into his throne.Henzaâs gaze settled on m
Lenaâs POVItâs been twenty years since my mother died. The story of how she was loved by my father and how my birth had caused him to lose her spread around the pack like wildfire.My sister Liana was the most loved amongst us. Even by my dad and even Aunt Penny.Not just that, Aunt Pennyâs son, Ashley, is also in love with Liana, while I was treated like an outcast for something I know nothing about.My name is Lena, and this is my story.âShe looks a lot like Ava. I think you should bring her close now. You cannot hate her forever,â I overheard Xander, his beta, persuading him.Unlike Liana, who was given anything she wanted, I was made to stay in the palace and train myself.Liana didnât even help matters. She has always been treating me like a rival rather than her sister. Sometimes I wonder if she truly was my sister or someone else.I love Liana so much, but the reverse was the case for me.Iâm not training myself just because I want to, but Iâm doing that to impress my father
Avaâs POVI never expected this to be so soon. Iâve always thought that every wolf will have to be of age before they can start showing their unique characters. But no, my beautiful daughter Lena had displayed her abilities beautifully, and she has taken every gift that the moon goddess has bestowed upon me.Blood started oozing from my ears, as tears continued to flow down my face. Now that death was calling, I never wanted to leave anymore.âAva,â Lark called my name in what seemed like stutters. His hands shook in fear as he tried to stop the blood. But it was inevitable.My vision, which was blurred with tears, never made me realise that he was already tearing up. âLark,â I whispered in pain, the veins on my head pulsating, as I raised my hand, which was already filled with blood, to wipe off his tears.âYou are stronger than thisâââNo,â he cuts in, mucors dripping off his nose. âNo, Iâm not, Ava Goldington. You are my strength.â He cried out, holding my hands tight, and a con
Avaâs POVI felt a bit weak as I crashed into Larkâs arms. I panted slowly as I watched my daughters rush towards me.âAre you okay?â Lark, Penny, Lena, Liara, and Xander all chorused.âYes,â I said, my eyes still fixed on Lenaâs hair. âCan you see that?â I asked Lark whose eyes were still on me.Lark heaved a sigh before placing a hand on my head. âAva, you are burning up. Why didnât you tell me you are sick?ââSick? No, Iâm not. Itâs just aââ I wasnât done with my speech when I heard Lenaâs mind communicating with mine.âMommy, are you okay?â At first, I thought it was my imagination. Maybe it was another trance. But no. This was real.This wasnât a trance. Lena has one of my powers now. She could read minds.âSorry, everyone. Weâll be stopping here today,â Lark replied before asking Xander to take over.âGet the packâs doctor,â he ordered Penny, who nodded and quickly left without asking many questions. âAnd you, take care of the kids and the gifts,â Lark commanded the maids, as
Avaâs POVâWhat is it?â I charged at Pamela, my hands trembling against the helm of my garment.Penny held me by my left hand, our eyes boring into Pamelaâs.âYou know you do not have to scare us about things that are scary to us right now.â Penny cut in.Pamela shut her eyes for a second, her other hand holding the rod tight. Soon her eyeballs couldnât be seen as a whirlwind started to circulate her. âListen to me, Ava, daughter of Aelle,â she started.Right now, it was clear that Pamela had been taken over by the moon goddess. It was clear now that the Moon goddess indeed was the one who wanted to talk to me through the Priestess.âYou have failed in your quest, Ava Goldington.â She lashed, her voice laced with anger.The light around her started to shine brighter, one that I couldnât comprehend.Penny and I couldnât help but fall to our knees to acknowledge the moon goddess who has appeared to us through Pamela in her glory.âHow did I fail?â I stuttered in fear. âI stopped the sha
Avaâs POVâLarkâŠfuck!â I moaned as I felt his wet lips on my nipples. Teasing them with tiny little bites.âShhhâŠyou donât want the kids to hear that,â Lark giggled with his finger sliding in and out of me.I held the bedsheet tighter as I curled my toes. Gasping for air that seemed a bit unavailable. I dug my fingers into his back.âAwwâŠNeva!â I screamed in ecstasy, but Lark was quick to shut me up with his lips.âMmmmâŠâ That was all I could do as he continued to pleasure me beneath.I felt my body get hot beneath him as I held him closer. âLarkâŠfuck. Donât do this.ââSay my name again?â he said, gently sucking my earlobes.Itâs been six years of peace and unity in the whole kingdom of Lyconia.After the fight with the shadows, we had no more reason to fight one another. As for Grindley and his brother Lucan, I have no idea where they were, or what they are doing. All I knew was that the fight with the wolf shadows was a very difficult one. And I doubt if they ever succeeded in defe
