Do you think going back to the city to is the best thing? Do you think her aunt will really accept her back after everything? Will she just forget the revenge now that she's back to the city? And go back to her boss who wants her back?
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 wor
Ava's POVI stared at the door, my heart pounding faster as I stared back at Alpha Grindley, who was also staring at me, his grip firm on my shoulders.“Alpha!” another werewolf soldier called, but Alpha Grindley, thinking it was Lucian, got more angered.“I said leave!” Alpha Grindley growled, and in anger, he hit his hand on the iron door, causing it to bend.“The north region has been attacked!” One of the werewolf soldiers interrupted.I rolled my eyes in tears, thanking the moon goddess that I'd finally been saved from this whole bullshit.I mean, at least I won't be banged tonight, and apart from that, I'd have time alone to talk to Elder Jack.If Alpha Grindley doesn't tell me what killed my parents or who was behind their deaths, then I'm going to find out myself before this baby inside me starts showing itself.“I'll be back,” his voice was so threatening as I watched him point his finger at me before withdrawing.I closed my eyes, panting in fear, and before I knew it, I hea
Lena’s POVI had woken up the the smell of herbs which had stung my nose so badly, causing me to sneeze out.“Finally, you are awake,” “Who are you and where am I?” I asked the young lady whose back was against me.Judging from the way she looked, I can tell she is the pack’s doctor. But this doesn’t bother me at all. I just want to leave this place and go back home. Although I’m aware that my absence won’t be felt, I still have to leave this place.“This is the Mooner’s pack. And the prince had brought you here for treatment,” The young lady replied, packing her tools back into her toolkit.“Mooner’s pack? The Prince?” I repeated, staring at her, confused.“I have to leave now,” She said, motioning towards the door. “My work here is finished.”“But–”“Thank you,” 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 doesn’t look so bad
Grindley’s POV“You’ve always been doing this, Nora,” I reprimanded before sitting on the throne, gripping its arm so firmly.“You cannot just disown him because he’s not interested in Eva, Grindley.” Nora shot back angrily."It’s high time that he mans up, Nora. You cannot treat a grown-up man like a child,”“And you think forcing him into marriage will make him become an adult? Are you even thinking?” Nora flinched before turning towards the maids.“Leave us, all of you,” 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. “I’m not forcing him into marriage. I’m doing what’s right,” I lashed at her in anger, my eyes filled with rage.It’s 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
Lena’s 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.“I think the moon goddess was mistaken to have given Lena to Ashley. He deserves better than her,” 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,
Lena’s 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.“Princess Lena is here,” the guards announced.I was sure I had stolen the spotlight as I watched jealousy play on Liana’s face. “She’s so beautiful,” 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 couldn’t help but drool over me.Even my father's jaw dropped upon seeing me tonight. “She looks a lot like Ava now,” 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.“Shall we start?” My father said, clearing his throat before relaxing back into his throne.Henza’s gaze settled on m
Lena’s POVIt’s 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 Penny’s 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.“She looks a lot like Ava. I think you should bring her close now. You cannot hate her forever,” 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 didn’t 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.I’m not training myself just because I want to, but I’m doing that to impress my father
Ava’s POVI never expected this to be so soon. I’ve 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.“Ava,” 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. “Lark,” 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.“You are stronger than this–”“No,” he cuts in, mucors dripping off his nose. “No, I’m not, Ava Goldington. You are my strength.” He cried out, holding my hands tight, and a con
Ava’s POVI felt a bit weak as I crashed into Lark’s arms. I panted slowly as I watched my daughters rush towards me.“Are you okay?” Lark, Penny, Lena, Liara, and Xander all chorused.“Yes,” I said, my eyes still fixed on Lena’s hair. “Can you see that?” I asked Lark whose eyes were still on me.Lark heaved a sigh before placing a hand on my head. “Ava, you are burning up. Why didn’t you tell me you are sick?”“Sick? No, I’m not. It’s just a–” I wasn’t done with my speech when I heard Lena’s mind communicating with mine.“Mommy, are you okay?” At first, I thought it was my imagination. Maybe it was another trance. But no. This was real.This wasn’t a trance. Lena has one of my powers now. She could read minds.“Sorry, everyone. We’ll be stopping here today,” Lark replied before asking Xander to take over.“Get the pack’s doctor,” he ordered Penny, who nodded and quickly left without asking many questions. “And you, take care of the kids and the gifts,” Lark commanded the maids, as
Ava’s POV“What is it?” I charged at Pamela, my hands trembling against the helm of my garment.Penny held me by my left hand, our eyes boring into Pamela’s.“You know you do not have to scare us about things that are scary to us right now.” Penny cut in.Pamela shut her eyes for a second, her other hand holding the rod tight. Soon her eyeballs couldn’t be seen as a whirlwind started to circulate her. “Listen to me, Ava, daughter of Aelle,” 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.“You have failed in your quest, Ava Goldington.” She lashed, her voice laced with anger.The light around her started to shine brighter, one that I couldn’t comprehend.Penny and I couldn’t help but fall to our knees to acknowledge the moon goddess who has appeared to us through Pamela in her glory.“How did I fail?” I stuttered in fear. “I stopped the sha
Ava’s POV“Lark…fuck!” I moaned as I felt his wet lips on my nipples. Teasing them with tiny little bites.“Shhh…you don’t want the kids to hear that,” 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.“Aww…Neva!” I screamed in ecstasy, but Lark was quick to shut me up with his lips.“Mmmm…” 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. “Lark…fuck. Don’t do this.”“Say my name again?” he said, gently sucking my earlobes.It’s 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
