Ava's POVJust as Aunt Janet crashed into the limousine in front of us, a stunned silence blanketed the street, the impact echoing even through the cars far behind us. If it hadn’t been for the seat belts holding us in place, we could have easily suffered serious injuries."Are you hurt?" Aunt Janet asked, her voice tinged with worry as I placed my hand on my head and nodded vigorously."I'm okay, I'm not hurt. Are you?" I asked, though we both seemed to forget that we were werewolves and there might be someone in that limousine who could have been hurt."Why did you make that noise earlier?" Aunt Janet nearly yelled, her frustration evident. She was trying to maintain control, realizing that I had just lost my job.Before I could respond, there was a knock on the window. Aunt Janet rolled down the tinted glass."Did you realize you just bashed someone's car?" asked the man in glasses, his face contorted into a frown. From his appearance, he clearly wasn’t here to resolve things amicab
Ava's POVThe doctor glanced between Aunt Janet and me, noting the tension on my face."Relax, Miss Ava, you’re okay... at least..." the doctor sighed, trailing off with, "For now."He handed Aunt Janet a white envelope, which she checked but couldn’t decipher. "For now, we can’t tell if she’s okay or not. She might want to come back in three weeks.""Aunt Janet...""Okay, thanks, doctor. She will definitely come around," Aunt Janet said, shaking the doctor’s hand and signaling me to stand up.Shaking, I followed Aunt Janet out of the hospital and into the Peugeot 505. Throughout the drive, we were both silent."I’d like to get out here. I need to go to my therapy," I quickly said, knowing Aunt Janet would likely lash out if I didn’t find a way to deflect her frustration.Meanwhile, Penny had been texting me non-stop, so I called her."Bye Aunt, see you in the evening," I said, bowing my head and slamming the car door before Aunt Janet could scold me further.I glanced at my phone and
Ava's POV"You again?" The masculine voice repeated consistently like I had done something wrong. Like coming back was a mistake. I shook to the marrow, as I felt my hand freezing. It happened to have rained heavily before I got to Lyconia, and everywhere was freezing cold. I heard my teeth hit each other before I turned back to see Matthew, the man I had met the first time, who had introduced me to the Alpha of the Mooner's pack. "I guess you wanna pick up from where you left huh?" His words were harsh and mocking. My wet hair dripped of water, as I managed to speak with my knuckles hitting each other. "I want to see..." I shook consistently, my words barely above a whisper. "You want to see..." I looked at Matthew who delighted in mimicking me, before I heard my phone vibrating. Just as my phone started to vibrate, his eyes landed on my bag. I quickly dipped my hand inside of it and switched it off. Because if it happens that the caller is Aunt Janet, I might have everyone to c
Ava's POVI felt relief on my neck as I crashed into this stranger's strong arms with my eyes closed while I shook to the marrow. "Please...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." I stuttered, begging for my life, not until I heard a loud crash causing everyone to troop out of their place, looking in the right direction the sound had come from.My eyes dropped to the floor, and I saw Horland bleeding profusely. Looking back to face the person who had carried me in his arms, I almost fainted at the beauty staring right at me. He was 6 ft 9 tall. His golden eyes stared at me imminently as I felt my heart pounded against the walls of my heart. I looked at my right hand which was resting on his bare built chest, which was revealed as a result of his slightly opened button. His curly black hair complimented his thin, flat pink lips, and his pointed nose added to his beauty, which was so mesmerizing.I could see every lady place their hands on their mouth, looking at me in shock, as murmurs and whisper
Ava's POVI felt his hand move to the back of my clothes, and my eyes fell on his strong arms which lingered on my waist, as his eyes bored into mine.His smell, his scent, his sets of white teeth, his touch...it was like fire, and right now, even without him stripping off my clothes yet, I could feel naked. My wolf, Neva was already wagging her tail, and my face was all red hot."I..." I let out a small moaning sound, as the last drop of tears which had settled on my left eye, came dropping down."I...I don't wanna..." I paused a bit when he pulled me closer, my lips in thin lines, as I watched his lips, I felt a bit dumb, but in a flash, I pulled away, " I'm sorry, but I need to go back home. My Aunt must not know that I'm here," I stuttered in fear, as I felt his hand leave my waist."It's okay. Where is your home?" Alpha Grindley withdrew himself from me, looking at me so intensely, before getting a lighter shirt to cover his hot body--woah, he's fucking hot. I don't know how I man
Ava's POVI know Aunt Janet was watching out for me, trying her best to make sure I was fine, to make sure I was okay, but this was just too intense. This was too much for me! And right now, I do not think I can take it any longer.I clenched my fist, with tears rolling down my cheeks, I looked at Aunt Janet, who was still standing at the entrance of the door."You can never know the way I feel. I was the one who lost her parents, Aunt Janet!" I lashed at her in anger for the first time, sniffing violently; as I moved back slowly, with my cheeks still burning hot, I entered back into the rain, which had already started to drizzle, causing my clothes to get soaked instantly.“You think I do not know how you–”“No, you don’t! My parents died without any traces. I was the one who watched them got rid to pieces. You were not the one. And what? You want me to sit by, and do nothing, even when there are chances for me to find out who was behind this murderer?” I yelled in the rain, my tears
Ava’s POVI felt more tears form in my eyes as I shook my head, refusing to take my Aunt’s hand. I knew she was going to lock me up again and make me feel sober.I knew she was going to make me give up on fighting for my parents and living the life I wanted to live–being able to live as a werewolf and not trying so hard to live like a human.“Ava, aren’t you going to regret this?” Aunt Janet questioned, her hands still stretched from afar. “You know, you can take my hand right now, I’m ready to walk you down the tough road. All you have to do is believe me,” she tried to convince me, but I was bent on my decision.“No Aunt, I wanna do this,” Just as I was done talking, I signaled Alpha Grindley to enter back into the car. “Sure princess,” Just as he spoke the word which was making me feel better, I looked at him open the door to the front seat, and take a look at my Aunt again, as she burst into tears, one that made her crash to the ground, as she called my name repeated, I looked awa
Ava's POVI shook in fear, as I felt my ears tingle. My legs cringed, and I didn't realize when I buried my hand into his broad back which was now free from the prison of clothes, as I felt his finger dig right inside of me, making its way deeper, and causing me to hyperventilate, as I opened my mouth in an "O" form, I held him tighter for support."Mmm...aww..." I felt what seemed like a hot fluid flow down my bowels, one that I never felt the day I lost my virginity. Today was much smoother, sweeter, and wetter, and to top it all, I felt much more horny than I had felt with the stranger that ripped me apart that day.I closed my eyes and fed the heat of the moment, the passion..the...the--"Aww...Grindley..." I felt a drop of water leave my eyes, his hand off my beneath as I heard some strange sounds, causing me to pass out some fluid again. I felt my head was in the clouds, and I couldn't believe I wanted him so badly.So badly...but...why is my heart pounding so hard against the wa
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
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
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
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
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
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
Ava's POVAll through the journey home, no one said a word. Not me, nor Xander. As for Alpha Lark, he slept for a long time, without opening his eyes.By the time we finally get back to the pack house, Xander made me know he was going to attend Alpha Lark, while I go see my friend, Penny. Fortunately, she was asleep.I pecked her head and made sure the blanket was wrapped around her well. Heaving a sigh, I went back to the things I packed from Aunt Janet's side. The question as to who I was kept ringing in my head."I healed him, Neva. How is that even possible?" I closed my eyes, sinking into the chair next to me. Since we got home late, everyone had gone to bed, and just a few werewolf soldiers were available."What do we do now?" Neva questioned."I don't know, Neva. I just want Lark to get better." I responded, trying to pick up the white paper with the blood stains I had seen while packing Aunt Janet's stuff."What could she have written?" I reminisced aloud but was interrupted by
Ava's POVFear gripped me as I allowed Neva to take over my entirety. "Someone's coming," Neva purred.Quickly, I closed the door leading to Aunt Janet's room, and I remained silent.Suddenly I saw a shadow pass by the window side, causing my heart to leap. With my lips drawn into thin lines, I was ready to fight back by opening the door only for me to bump into Lark.Screaming hard, he curbed my hand, causing me to miss the attack. "Let me go!" I yelled, panting heavily."Calm down, sweetheart. It's me. It's Lark." he cautioned, holding me tighter."Goddess! You scared me." I paused, trying to catch my breath.Quickly Alpha Lark's guard rushed in. "Take everything packed into the car. We'll join you shortly," he added.I looked around, still trembling at the whole tense situation. I was sure I saw a shadow, and--"You are still shaking, Ava. What happened?" Alpha Lark questioned, his eyes fixed on mine."I feel someone killed my aunt. And the person is after me too," I trembled. Yes,
