You are yet to see more. Let's keep going. The fight for Ava. The treasure. John is also coming along, We have a lot to talk about. Aunt Jane can't be quiet for long without searching for Ava her niece right? I hope the hunters won't be involved. And even the witches might want to play some part because Avanti doesn't look ordinary. Well...let's keep moving. It only gets better. Oh dear readers...I'm sorry. Hehehehe. Your author talks too much.
Grindley's POVI knew Elara shouldn't be trusted, not when she had an affair with my beta.I've swore never to forgive Lucian if I ever see him again. But right now, the most important thing was getting Ava back to the palace."Alpha," A voice called from behind."Yes," I answered, looking behind me to see one of the werewolf soldiers standing."The elder's son is awake," he bowed.Now that John is awake, I think he might have answers to everything. At least he's the elder's son, and he should also possess the same power as his father."Make sure she's well bounded, and bring her to me," I commanded.Walking out of the dungeon where she was tied, Elara's voice stopped me. "Do you think I'm lying to you? Why exactly do you hate me so much, Grindley? It's not as if you are a saint so also is Ava," Elara's laughter turned into tears."Why don't you forgive me, and let this slide," she started. But never will I listen to her pleas, she never mattered."John has the answer," I whispered, cu
Ava's POVHow did Alpha Grindley find me without the mark?"I thought you said the mate mark was gone, Neva? So how did he find me?" I questioned, as I watched Lucian stare at me."Come with me," he commanded, while I watched Lucian follow quietly.Honestly, if not for the fact that I was so stupid back in the human city, how the hell would I have given my boy to a common beta."Well, you didn't know that. You were only trying not to lose your job," Neva replied while I heard the door shut close.Just as Neva mentioned my boss, I couldn't help but remember Aunt Jane, and Penny.I miss them so much. How did I get here?"Neva, how did I find myself in this situation?" I wiped off my tears, but more kept coming."C'mon, Ava. You were doing this for your parents. Anyone in your shoes would have done that. And I'm sorry for the pain I caused you." Neva consoled me, tendering an apology alongside."You didn't do anything--""Yes, I actually did a lot. I mean, I was inside you all along, but
Ava's POVJust as I saw Alpha Grindley standing behind the door, it occurred to me that he wouldn't take no for an answer.My eyes landed on Lucian whose hands were firmly holding on to me as he asked everyone to step aside."He can't kill me," I started."Well, try me!" Lucian threatened, his hand much closer to my neck as I swallowed hard."Step back!" he commanded, while John tried to use his powers but was quickly apprehended. "If you try anything funny Mr. Witch, I swear on my mother's grave, kill her!"He shrieked and approached the door while I watched Alpha Grindley step aside."Lucian, we can talk-""Don't come closer!" His trembling voice was audible and loud. And soon I felt his hot tears on my neck.Wait a minute--is Lucian crying?Since I could look behind me, and he was gradually moving out with me still in his hand and the werewolf soldiers all handicapped, I knew I was already in trouble."Lucian! Don't you dare leave!" Alpha Grindley shouted, but it was too late; Lucian
Ava's POVI closed my eyes, hoping to see if I could remember anything from my past life, but I couldn't.What's going on with me? And why do I seem so empty?"Hey miss, do you even know your name?" The man beside me asked while I tried to rack my brain.For real? I can't even remember my name."I..." I opened my mouth but shut them close again. It appears that I don't know what to say either."You don't remember what you are being called? The moon goddess must be joking," The man replied."Alpha, I'm sorry." the other man who had pinned me down earlier with the doctor bowed his head."She doesn't even know herself, what if she is being looked for by her pack?" The Alpha lamented."I saw her lying--""You told me already," he replied, holding me by the hand."Miss, which pack are you coming--I mean do you remember anything at all? Maybe a little thing that could help us connect with your pack," he demanded.I took in a deep breath, as I shook my head in disagreement. "I can't remember
Ava's POVFear gripped me as I looked at myself in the mirror, and different thoughts ran through my mind.The maids watched my hands tremble as they braided my hair into a ponytail to suit the dress I was wearing.Knock!"Who is it?" I asked solemnly."The Alpha is at the dining table, and he's waiting," a masculine voice responded."Just a minute," I replied, my heart racing faster.Unsure of what to do, I asked that I be given a glass of water to cool off before I finally got set to meet him."Shall we?" Xander who was already at the door asked, stretching his hand to me.I heaved a sigh and swallowed hard before I put my hand in his, while he walked me down the hallway.Before I got to the dining hall, I could hear people chattering, and the clinking of glass cups, with some soft music below.My heart fluttered, as I froze on the spot, before thinking of what to say once I stepped into the gathering.I didn't know Xander his Beta could feel my resistance, not until he spoke funnily
Grindley's POVIt's been days since Ava has gone missing, and I couldn't help but blame it all on each and everyone that contributed to it.“You motherfucker! You caused this!” I lashed at Lucan, my brother, in anger.“And you were told she wasn't here. You brought this up on us!” Lucan's voice resonated through my ears as I heaved a sigh, my hand clenched to the arm of my throne.Drinking every day became the order of the day, as I couldn't do without seeing, Ava.I never knew I've gotten this attached, not until her body went missing beside the river Lucian had drowned, and till day I found myself thinking of her.Every lady brought forward–none of them mattered to me. All I wanted was Ava.Surprisingly, Lucian's body was the only thing found, Ava’s body disappeared mysteriously, when I've just watched Lucian took her with him while he fell off the cliff.I was lost in thoughts when one of my soldiers called from behind.“Alpha!”“Yes! Did you find her?” I questioned, handling the gl
Ava's POVJust as I opened my eyes, I could barely see anything, and in front of me, people looked like trees.Even though I could hear their voices, I could barely see who was standing right before me. I placed my hand gently on my forehand, as I tried to get out of bed."Hey, Priceless," A hand reached my shoulders, and I was fast to yank it off."Wow, that was--""Fast?" another person spoke before I finally saw who was standing in front of me."Alpha Lark," I heaved a sigh retreating into bed upon realizing I was in safe hands, only for me to see the Kitsune girl staring at me as if she wanted me dead."Priceless," Alpha Lark approached holding by the hand, while the whole place went quiet."Did someone die?" I was forced to ask seeing how tensed the whole place was.The doctor and everyone stared at me with pitiful eyes, one that I had yet to understand."There's something you need to know first--""That you are my mate?" I quickly chimed in. I know I might have lost the most impo
Grindley's POV"I must have been thinking a lot," I smiled, reaching out for another drink, after realizing that the whole of Ava's Aunt being here was just my mind playing tricks on me.But I might actually be putting this pack at risk. Since I know that Ava's heart is a hunter-I've lived each day in fear of her coming back.What if she comes back with her hunter friends? Over the years, the werewolf world has been on the run from the hunters because we've never been able to contend with them.I think I need to just take away all these feelings. I can't stop thinking about Ava. Am I really sad?"Alpha, I think you need to get some rest," one of the soldiers whom I had been very kind to, over the years spoke from a mile away."And you think because I've been good to you...you think you have the right to tell me what to do huh?" I shouted, my voice holding some growls in it."I know since the Luna left the palace, you feel empty and sad, but--""Enough! Peter, go back to your position!"
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
