Do you think it's right for Ava to escape without finding out what the treasure was? Or why her parents were killed?
Ava’s 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. “Ahh!!” 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. “Neva, I'm scared.” 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. “Have you seen the Luna?” I heard Alpha Grindley's voice asking his second-in-command, John. “No, Alpha!” “Keep fighting. I think we can't hold this for long. Ask everyone to retreat. Fast!” 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
Ava’s 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. “Are you fully awake now? Can you see me?” Aunt Janet's voice jolted me out of my thoughts while I nodded my head like a five-year-old child. “Yes, yes I'm fine.” 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. “Is there something you want to talk to–”“No,” 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
Ava’s 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. “Aunt Janet! Let me go! I promise… I promise to be on…my best behavior!” 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? “I'm so tired!” 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. “You can't just lock me here! Alpha Grindley will find me! Aunt Janet!” I screamed upon hearing the clanging of the padlocks on the gate. “Shut the hell up! I can't allow you to go back to Lyconia. You will b
Ava’s 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 Neva’s 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 mean—it’s 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? “If you don't take my help, Penny's going to die!” Neva, my wolf, interrupted my thoughts. “If I do that she's going to get scared of me! I don't have any other friends, Neva.” 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. “They look fresh and succulent,” one of them spoke, wiping his mouth. “We are gonna die,” Penny s
Ava’s POV Just as I looked into his eyes again, I finally felt the energy I felt that night. That night, my boss introduced me to him. That was the same energy I felt when we had sex. The scent…the hot burning desire. The same eyes. The way he looked at me was–I can't explain it.I could feel the same passion. The way he caressed my hair. The way he looked at me to be sure I wasn't hurt. It made me question the whole thing that had happened the last time. I looked behind him, and quickly, six men in black suits rushed forward, creating space in between, just like the other time my aunt and I had seen him on the street while we were driving. I was right after all. It was him. My one-night stand. The one who took away my flowers. The one I have been waiting for. Hoping endlessly, the father of my unborn child. “You are…” Just as I was about to speak, he handed me over to his bodyguards and walked towards the guy who seemed to be laughing mischievously.“And so…who the fuck do you th
Ava’s POV Fear gripped me as I stared at Alpha Grindley, whose faces were all hardened at the sight of me. I can't believe he'd looked for me after I escaped from the attack the other time. It hadn't dawned on me yet that I was now the Luna of the Mooner's pack. But when the mark on my neck burned red-hot, I winced in pain. “Ouch!” I held Penny tighter as I felt my head bang consecutively while I tried to look for a way out even after knowing that there was none. “And where do you think you are going?” Alpha Grindley's voice stopped me halfway as I shivered to the marrow, my eyes darting from Lucian to Penny, while I avoided his eyes. I knew it was wrong to run off, but what do I do in a situation where the Alpha, my supposed mate, and his Beta left me for the invaders? Right now, I'm stuck between my one-night stand and my mate. What should I do? And why is Lucian bowing to Alpha Grindley? What the hell is happening here?! “Alpha,” Lucian bowed, raising his head afterward and
Ava’s POVPlacing my lips in thin lines, I watched Lucian approach me slowly, my hands trembling in fear, and once again, I was leaving for Lyconia without the consent of my aunt. Now I see why she never wanted me to leave. “Penny…” I rushed towards my friend, tapping her severely, but she wasn't coming up. I scoffed in anger, tears rolling down my cheeks, and for the first time in my life, I felt lost. I was terrified and scared of what else I was going to face in the Mooner's pack. How was I supposed to rule that pack filled with gossip? Not to even talk of my one-night stand being my mate’s beta. “Shall we?” Lucian's voice broke into my subconscious, causing me to look up from Penny, my gaze settling on him in frustration. “Shall we what?” I asked in anger, my face glaring with unspoken curse words. “I thought you were a reputable–”“I am. I've only taken the role of Alpha Grindley. I do represent –”“Lucian! What the hell is keeping you long with my mate?” Alpha Grindley gro
Ava’s POVNever in my life have I stood up for myself like I did just now. The maid I had just thundered a slap across her face bowed her head in total submission, fear written on not just her face but everyone surrounding me, except for Sandra, who looked at me scornfully. “I think you should have done this before,” Neva, my wolf, interrupted my thoughts while I raised my head, ready to address everyone standing. “Let this be the last time you will ever rudely talk about me. Anyone who does that will never be forgiven. It's death by hanging.” I charged in anger, looking at their faces, not even knowing where I got the whole confidence from. “Am I understood?” I looked into their faces, planting fear and anxiety into each and everyone in the pack. Silence fell on every corner of the hall, making it seem as if I was talking to myself alone. “I.said.am.I.understood?!” this time with authority, and my wolf displayed itself. “Yes, Luna!” Everyone chorused and hurried back to their wo
Ava's POVI shook my head for a second, unsure of what to say.And in a moment of lust, he grabbed me by the neck, pulling me to him, as I swallowed hard, while I felt his tongue frolicking with my ear."Mmm..." I moaned and quickly shoved him off.This doesn't seem right. I'm not some slut that both brothers could use. Or wait a minute...could they have planned it?And more, how am I sure Alpha Lance is Grindley's brother?"I'm going crazy right now. His wolf energy matched that of Alpha Grindley. Could it be because they bore a striking resemblance?" Neva questioned, but I couldn't even give a reply.Not when I'm fighting for my life under this tough handsome Greek god.By the way, it just doesn't make any sense. If this man here is Alpha Grindley's brother, then why did he attack the mooner's pack?"Answer me!" he shouted causing me to flinch at the sound of his voice, as his claws entered me more, bringing some blood out of me as I choked on my words."I'm not none of the things y
Ava’s POVJust as I heard him instruct his soldiers to get rid of me, I walked towards his werewolf soldier, racing my neck and waiting for the next judgment.“Ava, what are you doing?” Neva, my wolf, screamed.And as she tried to restrict my movement, I shut her down.“You are going to die because you couldn’t get to the root of everything, Ava?” Neva started.With my eyes closed, I ignored her words. “Kill me!” I screamed.I could hear everyone gasping. I knew they were amazed at how courageous I was.And to be candid, I didn’t know what came over me.I knew going back to the city would only mean that I would be voluntarily going back to my bondage.Aunt Jane was never going to let me go, and this would cause a war between humans and werewolves.I’m sure Alpha Grindley wants something from me, and he will go to the ends of the earth to get it.“Let her go,” Alpha Lucian commanded.And just as he said that I opened my eyes, blinking them countless times, as I looked at my palm drippi
Grindley's POV"Hey Lance! Mommy and Daddy are waiting for us," I reached out to my brother."I wanna play a little. Can't we just swim a little?" Lance asked as he jumped into the flowing water.Apparently we have gone swimming behind our parents, and Lance doesn't want to come back home again."Lance!" I called out in anger."C'mon, the water is cold, you are going to love it," Lance smiled spilling some water at me."No, thanks. But can we just go now?" I asked, trying to reach out to him when I suddenly heard the bushes rustle.At first, I didn't want to believe it."Lance, can we go now, please? I don't think this place is safe for us," I replied, but just as I looked behind me, I couldn't see my brother again."Lance!" I called out but I heard nothing. It was then I started to panic, jumping into the water to look for him."Kill them all!" I heard a husky voice command.And as they came running, I knew I had to submerge myself into the water. Just after they all left, I quickly
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 blacked
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
