Ava’s POV

Everything became so confusing that I started to ask myself if this was the life I wanted.

One time, I chose to leave the revenge behind and stick with Lark.

And right now, Pamela here is telling me that my parents, for whom I’ve tried so hard to bring justice so I could have some peace in the werewolf world, are not even my parents?

Does that even make any sense? Is my life now what?...a joke to the moon goddess?

Am I some sort of toy to be tossed about?

“What are you saying?” I asked repeatedly.

Muttering the words with tears rolling down my cheeks. As much as I tried to control them, I couldn’t.

“My life is a mess right now. And now this?” I stared at Pamela with my eyes all red.

My cheeks burned red hot from the tears that stained them. And my hands shook in anxiety.

“You need to learn more about your background, Ava. You need to do that before it’s too late,” Pamela broke the silence.

“And how am I supposed to do that? Am I expected to just–”

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 73 - Raged

    Grindley’s POVMaking Nora my Luna was the best decision I’ve ever made. Since she has a striking resemblance to Ava, it made it much easier to forget all about Ava. But trust me, not completely.Just as we both were about to have fun, a knock came on the door, sending me into an angry mode.“Who the fuck is that?!” I shrieked. “Ignore that,” Nora giggled.Holding me closer, I took her lips in mine and kissed her hard. “I miss you so much. I want you–”Knock!!“Alpha, your brother is here to see you,” The soldier announced.I paused a minute, looking back at Nora, who was already taking off her clothes and was now naked. As for her man, Peter–he died. I made sure I sent him to his death just to have Nora to myself. After all, he was a threat. And I felt he was going to rebel if I didn’t do any of that.“My brother?” I repeated.“Yes, Alpha. And he has refused to leave.”The soldier replied.Since the last time Ava drowned in the river with Lucian, I had lost hope of ever seeing he

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 1 - Traumatized

    Ava's POV It was pouring. Heavily.My peach-colored dress was soaked, and my phone kept vibrating in my pocket.I stood there, watching from a distance as the blood of my parents mixed with the rainwater that filled the streets. My eyes drifted to the car, still open. I could see my mom's hand, limp, hanging from the side. I started walking toward it, my legs feeling like lead. I didn't dare get too close. My voice came out as a whisper, shaky, barely audible, "Mom, mommy... are you... are you okay?"My dad's lifeless body lay flat on the floor, his eyes wide in shock as blood from his severed head pooled beneath him. My heart raced, terror creeping through me, but I couldn't shift into my wolf form. I just kept mumbling, "Daddy, Dad... please wake up! Mom! Don’t leave me! Somebody, anybody, help!"But my heart remained calm. Too calm. My body felt numb, detached from everything. I blinked twice, hoping—praying—that I was hallucinating. Maybe this was just some twisted illusion. The p

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 2 - Dejected

    Ava's POV Matthew was definitely a man of few words. As I sat in the passenger seat, the silence between us was palpable. The town seemed to grow more unfamiliar the deeper we went, with streets twisting and turning into areas I didn’t recognize.I couldn’t help but break the silence. "So... the new Alpha, what family is he from?"He gave me a brief side glance, the corner of his lips tugging upward, but that was the most reaction I got. "You can ask him that when you see him.""Are the four packs still united?" I tried again, hoping to get more out of him.This time, he chuckled lightly. "I see you were told stories. Yes. Still very united." He didn't look at me again after that, his focus solely on the road. The conversation hit a dead end, and I took it as a sign to stop asking questions. He clearly wasn't interested.Eventually, we arrived at a huge mansion, and I climbed out of the car, gripping my bag tightly as I followed him. The mansion was intimidating, and I couldn’t help b

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 3 - Rejected

    Ava's POV Horland had never seen me before, and it could only mean one of two things.One, I might have come to town in search of supernatural creatures. After all, rumors about this place ran rampant beyond its borders, and the name of the town only fueled them.Two, I was new here, and judging by his guarded expression, the latter was more likely.The town rarely had new people, but I’d heard there were a few. A male from the Commoners pack, a wandering werewolf taken in, and then… the weird Goldington girl. The one who was me."Who are you?" he asked, his voice deep, measured, though there was something else behind it. A strange pull that mirrored my own. My heart was beating faster now, and I could tell his senses were just as heightened as mine.I took a step forward, trying to steady myself, and looked at the gun still aimed in my direction. "Can you drop the gun, please? It’s kind of scary," I asked, forcing a boldness into my voice that I didn’t quite feel.He didn't answer at

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 4 - Chained

    Ava's POVWhen I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the ceiling, which appeared a bit blurry. Confusion washed over me, and I turned my head to the side, only to find my aunt sitting nearby."Welcome back. But for now, just relax, because you have a lot of explaining to do," she said before leaving the room, her voice and expression filled with anger.I tried to piece together my memories, but my head throbbed, making it difficult to recall the last events before everything went dark."I was trying to escape... I remember trying to shape-shift, and then..." I started to explain, sitting up with my back against the wall.The door suddenly swung open, and the doctor walked in—the same one who had been monitoring me without my consent."Don't be too hard on yourself, and don't strain your mind trying to remember. It's important for your mental well-being," he reassured me as he approached, holding medical instruments."Can you tell me how I ended up here? Do you have any ide

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 5 - Trouble

    Ava's POV"Aunt! Please, just let me go. I promise I won't go back again. Please!" I begged, but Aunt Janet didn’t believe me.She had lived in sorrow ever since my parents died. Not a day passed without her thinking of my father, Mark, whom she lost to the cold hands of death. And now, it seemed like I was following the same path, and she wasn’t ready to lose me too."No, Ava! I won’t. Until I see some changes in you, I won’t let you out," Aunt Janet lashed at me, clenching her fists as she tried to control the tears that rolled down her cheeks.I knew she didn’t want to chain me up, but she felt like she didn’t have a choice. It was the only way to stop me from going back to Lyconia."I won’t go back to Lyconia again. I’ve learned my lesson. They never loved me," I cried out, sweating profusely, the chain digging into my wrists."This is the same lie you told me before!" Janet yelled, her hand almost flying toward my face before she broke down in tears."I took you in, Ava. I clothed

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 6 - Mated

    Ava's POV Entering my room, I pulled out a series of clothes: a few chimney tops and some short clubbing gowns. I wasn’t sure what to wear, but Aunt Janet was quick to decide."I think this is good," she said, pointing at a red shiny gown."Don't you think it's too flashy?" I asked, rolling my eyes as I tried to put it back. But of course, Aunt Janet wasn’t having it."It’s not flashy, Ava. Come on! If you don’t do this, how on earth are you going to get settled? You’re twenty-six, remember?" she emphasized my age as she adjusted my shoe rack.She picked up one of my highest heels and smiled. "I think this works," she added, winking at me."Aunt, this is way too high. I only wear them for special occasions. I can’t possibly wear them now," I said, rolling my eyes again."Nonsense! You need to catch a big man—someone who can take care of you and also be handsome. Didn't you tell me big men come to your bar?" Janet rolled her eyes right back at me."Okay, fine!" I gave in, taking the cl

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 7 - Hot Desire

    Ava's POV My boss was growing impatient as we lingered, signaled from afar, urging me to take the lead on the dance floor. Time was running out, and he wasn't happy with my hesitation.I cleared my throat nervously. "I'm... sorry. Let’s just dance," I muttered. The strange man sighed and pulled me gently to the middle of the dance floor, and the lights dimmed around us.Since this man was clearly an important figure, both in society and at Lavenda’s club, everyone else stepped back, leaving the stage for us."Keep the music going," my boss commanded the band, and the music resumed. As we danced, the man started asking me questions, which took me by surprise. There was something in the way he spoke—it felt like he knew something about me that I didn’t quite understand yet."Were you born here?" he asked as he spun me around effortlessly."Yes," I nodded, my body relaxing against his as the crowd clapped in approval."Tell me something," he said, gripping me at the waist, his hand b

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 71 - Adopted

    Ava’s POVA gasp left my lips as I tried to make sense of this whole situation.I could hear mumurings from behind. But that was even the least of my problems. I’m yet to be convinced about what Pamela is saying, but I could feel she was telling the truth.“Are you saying my parents are not my real parents?” I scoffed.“Pfft,” I smiled sheepishly while Penny looked at me, shocked.“You can’t possibly believe her, did you?” Penny asked, confused.This cannot be happening to me. All these years, I’ve taken the blame for my parents dying on my accord. The stigma of their death stuck with me like a leeche.I’ve carried the pain in my heart. A nightmare that reoccurs every time I lay myself to sleep. I couldn’t forgive myself for years and even ended up losing my first child because of it. Only for me to learn that they are not my parents.Could this be a prank by Pamela? Or has the moon goddess decided to give me this rough fate? Why?Why should it be me? Am I truly cursed?“You were adopt

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 70 - Heated

    Ava’s POVI stared at Lark, making sure he was doing the right thing. It’s one thing to be hated by some of the pack members. And it’s another to put them at risk when I should protect them.“What’s your price?” Lark stared at Pamela, his grip firm on my shoulder.“Why not allow me to sort your Luna first? Then we can talk about what my prices are.” She smirked.Silence fell on every corner of the room for a moment as we all looked a bit uncertain. The witches were known for their domineering powers, especially when they knew a pack was at their mercy.And right now, we might just be playing right into her hand. Thereby creating much problem for ourselves.“I’ll figure it out.” I face Lark with sweat dripping off my face. Just then, my gaze hit a transparent surface, and honestly, I looked half dead. “You don’t look so good. The pack members cannot see you this way,” Lark shook his head in disapproval.“Help her,” Lark insisted.I can see he was doing all these things just because of

  • Mated To The Lycan King    PLEASE, STAY IN THE GAME

    We are getting there. At least Ava can't just be a Luna healer overnight. We have to know what's going on. Just stick to this story, okay? I promise it will be worth it. I got the strength to write back because of you all. Thank you so much for readingI LOVE YOU ALL

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 69 - Obsessed

    Ava’s POVI shut my eyes to be sure my imagination was not playing tricks on me.“Ava,” I could hear my name being called faintly.I was lost in the shadows of my thoughts. The fear of uncertainty. I was still wallowing in them.There’s just this phobia in my heart. The fear of certain things happening. Like Valerie coming back to ruin my mating day.Like the pack finding out that I’m the Luna healer and they wanting to use me. Fear of losing my child or my best friend.“Ava, are you okay?” Penny tapped me on the shoulder.Jolting me out of my thoughts, I managed to fake a smile. “Whatever it is you are thinking can wait, Ava. Don’t let the pack think their Alpha made a mistake in choosing you,” Penny warned.These days, one would think Penny is now a part of us with the way she gives me instructions.“Ava, just hold my hand and stare at me whenever you feel uncertain of things, okay?” Lark asked, holding my left hand firmly.“Okay.”Just as I nodded in affirmation to his words, he be

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 68 - Wedded

    Ava’s POVI had opened my eyes to see Lark staring at me. Looking at him closely, I couldn’t help but feel shy.I know this isn’t my first time being in bed with a man. But with Lark, it feels so different.“Good morning, sunshine,” Lark smiled.“Good morning,” I answered shyly.Covering the rest of my body with the sheets, I tried making my way out of bed. But he was quick to bring me closer.“I’m sorry. But I can’t have you run off again.” Lark said against my neck.Giving me a little peck on my neck, I felt my toes curl.“I will do anything for you, Ava,” he replied against my shoulder.“Anything for us,” he concluded with his hand on my stomach.Just then, I felt the urge to talk. Since we are here now, maybe having a conversation is better.“I don’t want to do this anymore,” I started.Gently placing my head on his chest, I felt a drop of tear flow down my cheek.“Hey, hey, hey,” Lark whispered.Gently tilting my cheeks, making me stare at him in the eyes. He carefully wiped away

    Ava’s POV He was so close to me that I could smell every scent of his. My wolf was getting intoxicated. And me–I was getting so wet beneath me. My heart raced faster than I had to push him off me. Every bit of me…wants him. So badly. My body tensed as I felt so hot. My face burned hot and my ears turned red.I could observe them from where I stood since the mirror wasn't so far from me. Right now, I'm sure he could also smell my desire for him. I could see him trying to control his wolf. I'm sure he needs to know I was on the same page with him. He wants to be sure I need him just like he wants me. “I've never been so real with anyone in my life. Like I've been to you Ava,” he broke the silence. The breeze from the evening blew the veil allowing the moon to cast its glow into my chamber. “I've waited so hard for this day. I don't care if you carry another man's child or not,” Alpha Lark said. Approaching me slowly, with my back turned on him. He pulled me closer to his embr

  • Mated To The Lycan King    Chapter 66 - Loved

    Ava’s POV Life has been different since I stepped my foot into this pack. Everyone started to accept me for who I really was. Especially now that Valerie is away. It's been a month now. And I'm starting to shake off the whole revenge thing. One thing life has taught me is to let go of the pain and embrace sweetness whenever I come across one. As for my baby bump–I'm here to have one. I'm just one month gone. “For someone pregnant, you look so strong,” Penny teased. “When will you start learning how to knock before entering, Penny?” I rolled my eyes. “And how many hours have you been standing there?” I added, stretching lazily. “Long enough to see you admiring yourself and the babies?” Penny smiled sheepishly.Can I say life has been fair to us for the past month? Yes. There has been no war recorded. Not even any deaths were added to the ones before. Many people said I was a blessing. And many agreed that, indeed, I was the peace they'd all been waiting for. “Babies?” “Yes
