The room sounded to grow warmer as her mates girdled her, their traces gentle and tender. Lorcan's fritters traced patterns on her arm, transferring jitters down her chin. Rafferty's hand rested on her knee, his thumb rubbing soothing circles. Treyton knelt in front of her, his hands on her shanks, resting her with his steady presence. Ava's heart pounded in her casket as she looked at each of them, her cheeks flushing with warmth." I. I am just not sure what to do," she confessed, her voice slightly above a tale. Lorcan leaned in, his breath hot against her observance." Just be with us. Let us take care of you." Their traces were tender, slow. Ava felt her original pressure begin to melt down, replaced by a growing sense of trust and desire. Lorcan's lips set up hers, soft and reassuring. She soughed into the kiss, her body responding to his gentle asseveration. Rafferty's hand moved to her back, guiding her near to him." You’re doing great, Ava," he muttered against her skin, his li
Ava’s pov“Ava, wake up, you can sleep through a storm” My mother opened up the curtains and exposed my room to sunlight. She wouldn't understand that I spent the whole night thinking about the mating proposal I got from Lorcan.Lorcan wanted to mate with me? Why? He bullied me when we were younger and now, just because he thinks we are grown, he comes asking for a mate. I mean there are so many girls that will be willing to mate with him, not me, at least when I haven't figured out what exactly is wrong with me. “Ava, don't make me pull you out of bed”. My Mom warned me.I was overthinking again, “Mom I am up”. I was hoping she would leave me alone just for today. I didn't want to face my reality for just one day.“Freshen up and come for breakfast,” My mom said, and left my room. “Okay Mom”. I didn't want to leave my bed, but it's not like I have a say.As I made my way downstairs I could sense something was different and slightly off. I could hear whispers. When I got to the ki
Ava’s PovI couldn't stop staring at him. He was undoubtedly more handsome since the last time I saw him. His brown hair was wet, which gave off the fact that he had just taken his bath. His strong masculine scent was quite literally breathtaking. “Ava?” My thoughts halted and I came right back to my senses when I heard his deep voice call my name.“What are you doing here?” Lorcan said, staring at me with his soft orb-green eyes. Why wouldn't I be distracted? It was enough to make anyone lose focus. I don't remember him being this stunning. I finally found the right words to say as my head was in shambles even after so much rehearsal and thought.“I came to see you” the words hesitantly came out of my mouth. Lorcan smiled, and immediately my heart skipped a beat. I wasn't completely in his eyes and now he hit me with such an irresistible smile, I was truly captivated, and I unintentionally gulped.“Okay, would you like to come in?” Lorcan offered with a reassuring smile. I could fe
Ava’s pov‘No, no, I see you, stop!’ Another bad dream, I woke up drenched in sweat and the urgent need to gulp a glass of water. This was the third time I had such a terrifying dream. It was the middle of the night, and everywhere was quiet. The only sound being made was the sound of a distant wolf guard. There are always three Delta wolves stationed at the gate of the pack mansion every night. It was for precaution, I guess. Delta wolves are high-ranking and are trusted with the protection of the pack house. They are mostly guards because of their strength and agility, but some of them aid in being commandant or serve a higher purpose. I have never been to the pack mansion before. All that I know about it is simply from the stories I was told. I had no intention of going there, but it wouldn't be bad to see it for myself and to see if the tales were true. I tried to sleep back and what seemed like forever. After turning and tossing on the bed, I finally fell asleep.“Ava, wake u
Ava’s povIt was morning already. I could hear the chirping of the birds as they sang their melody. I just wanted to sleep today and can still remember the look on Lorcan’s face.It is still as clear as day. I was relieved I finally got the words out, but that feeling was short-lived as a genuine concern grew in me. I just rejected him. “Lorcan, it's just that-” I began to explain, not knowing what exactly I could say to make him feel better, but he stopped me.“I understand, it's alright,” he said with a reassuring smile, and at that moment a wave of comfort washed over me. He still walked me home even after I had told him I could walk home by myself. “It will be my pleasure,” Lorcan said.We still laughed and shared some merry moments before I went back home. I stood up and opened my windows. The sun was in full shape, and its warming rays always had a way of soothing my thoughts.I’m glad me and Lorcan can still be friends after the rejection. The only challenge is telling my pa
Alpha Kings Pov“There are rumors about it,” One of the Advisers said. The Alpha Kings sat on their thrones listening to the report. “We need accurate information, not speculation,” Rafferty said sternly.“The possibility of war happening is greater than it not happening,” another adviser said, and there were hushed conversations.“Silence” Rafferty commanded.The Night Moon Alpha is a ruthless King. He is known for his fury, and any city he goes to war with is always left destitute. A few months ago, he sent a spy to reconnoiter the city of The Last Growl, but when he was found, Rafferty, out of rage, executed the spy and is now leaving them thinking about the possibility of war.“Is there any solution?” Treyton asked. “Yes, one needs a Luna queen,” one of the advisers said. “This will strengthen our alliance and also widen our chances”. Another chipped inTreyton and Rafferty have both made up their minds not to mate. They both agreed for a reason.“Any other solution?” Treyton
LORCAN’S POVThe utterance of those words left a sting in my heart, I wasn't expecting her to accept me right now. But a rejection was far from my thought. I fixed my composure and twisted inwards and brought out a smile. “I understand, it's alright” It was not alright it was far from alright. I daydreamed about my time with her, Her long hair resting on my bed. Our eyes interlock with so much passion and need. My breath rested on her bare shoulders. I felt our mind link building up and all of a sudden I was faced with a rejection. I couldn't believe it but I had to accept it even though I knew deep down I wasn't going to give up on what I had for Ava. I walked her to her house and I gave her a reassuring smile“You coming for the ball right” I had limited words and I didn't want to sound like a sore loser or make her feel uncomfortable. I cared about her. I know that even though she doesn't accept me now she will come around someday.“Yes, My mom will kill me if I don't come” We
Ava’s PovThis place is so dark but at least it's better than having prying eyes fixated on me, I have never been so uncomfortable in my entire life. I walked in the eerily halls, Everywhere was silent and I could only hear the sound of my recurring yet hesitated footsteps. As I wandered deeper into the halls I didn’t realize how big it was until I had gotten lost. I tried to find my way back but I couldn’t find the path in which I had followed to get to that point. Panic filled me and I was about to scream for help until I saw a dark image appear in front of me. “Why are you sneaking around?” A shiver ran down my spine but I had to calm my nerves. I thought to myself, Perhaps it could be one of the guards. I got closer to the man and realized that he was adorned with gold jewelry and his outfit wasn’t one that a low-rank wolf would wear.He was a tall man with black hair with a low cut hair, He had a scar on his face, Golden eyes, and a strong jawline,It was best to be as respect

Lorcan’s POV The mourning period was over. The pack had come together in their grief, recognizing those we had lost and chancing solace in participated remembrances. But now, it was time to look to the future. The elders had called for a gathering, one that would determine the fate of our leadership. Rumors had been circulating, whispers of Ava’s fortune, but no bone knew the full extent of what was to come. As I stood among the crowd, watching the elders take their places, a sense of expectation filled the air. The head elder, a wizened man with eyes that sounded to pierce through time, stepped forward. His voice, though old, carried power and authority. “ moment, we gather to fulfill a vaticination, ” he began, his aspect sweeping over the assembled pack members. Ava, our chosen leader, is fated to be clicked to not one, not two, but three mates the birth halves and Lorcan. ” A collaborative howl gurgled through the crowd.

Raffrerty PovRafferty stood at the crest of the hill, the fading light casting long murk over the devastated battleground. His heart was heavy with the recollections of the battle that had been fought then just days agone The Growl Pack had surfaced victorious over the Night Moon Pack, but the cost of their freedom had been steep. The bodies tortious , and the scent of blood and death dallied in the air. He turned down from the ghastly sight, his mind counted down with grief. As the leader of the Growl Pack, Rafferty knew the responsibility for their losses lay heavy on his shoulders. He'd led them into this battle, and while they had won their freedom, the price had been far too high. His aspect shifted to Ava, whot stood a many paces down, her shoulders drooped and her head bowed in anguish. Her stylish friend, Kairo, had saved her life at the cost of her own, and the pain of that loss was etched deeply into Ava’s face. Ava’s generally bright eyes were dull and red
Ava's POV The battle raged on, the clash of sword and magic filling the air. But in the chaos, a minatory presence lurked, unseen by the soldiers. A poisoned arrow was shot, aimed straight for Ava's heart. Kairo, Ava's pious friend, saw the peril and rushed to save her. But fate was cruel, and the arrow struck Kairo rather, piercing her casket. As she fell to the ground, her life slipping down, Ava's world shattered. Ava's grief and rage burned , unleashing a fury unlike anything seen ahead. With a fierce cry, she charged forward, her magic and brand slicing through the adversary lines, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. No bone could stand in her way, as she fought with a ferocity that framed on madness. Her eyes blazed with a fierce determination, her heart fueled by the pain of losing her dear friend. The adversary quivered before her, but Ava showed no mercy. She was a force of nature, impregnable and implacable, driven by the anguish of her loss.
Treyton's Pov Ava and Lorcan's return to our pack was nothing short of triumphant, but I could tell by their determined looks that they knew the fight was far from done. Their arrival rekindled the spark of hope that had almost died out in our species due to the brutal dictatorship of Night Moon Pack and Nascence Jeff. Lorcan's reputation, Ava's magic, and my own abilities were an unbeatable combination, but more than brute force and sorcery would be required to save our people and end this suffering. It was nightfall when we reached Alpha Jeff's fort's perimeter. The silence that pervaded the night was a sharp contrast to the wrath that was about to break out. With every stride, our allies from the Moonlight Pack and the Witch Kingdom advanced us closer to the conflict that would determine our destiny. Moving to the frontline lines, Lorcan, Ava, and I scanned the horizon for any indication of activity. The black fort that housed our people was impending ahead. We were to wage
Lorcan's Pov The Turning of The battlefield was a blur of silence and commotion, where life and death were decidedly close. Bodies, both friendly and hostile, were lying facedown on the blood-stained ground, their gasping eyes staring up at a blank sky. I inhaled sharply, each breath tasting of ash and the metallic aftertaste of blood. My brand, a faithful comrade in this bleak conflict, trembled in my hand, echoing the thunderous clash that had just finished. Eventually, the war came to an end. The words were foreign, even unimaginable. Our steadfast resolve had crushed the dark bournes of my father's army, bringing it to a halt. A realm that was about to be destroyed, the Witch Kingdom, was now safe and unhindered. The sadness of the lives lost and the broken gemütlichkeit coexisted with the sensation of palm. I pivoted, focusing my gaze on Ava's. Despite being ill, she had a strong light in her eyes that had not dulled. Her power had run out, but she was safe and her spirit
Ava's PovI, Ava, slowly opened my eyes, my head cloudy and my senses swirling. The world around me was a jumble of shadows and murmurs, and it took a while for reality to congeal into something tangible. I could hear distant, muted voices, as if they were from another universe. "What is going on?" I rumored, my voice barely audible. "Ava, can you hear me?" Lorcan's voice was critical, his remarks cutting through the fuzz. His anxiety was obvious, breaking through the fog in my head. I jounced weakly, hoping to empty my head." Y- yea. "What happened?" "You unleashed a massive quantum of power," Queen Endora said, her voice full of respect."The entire area is shrouded in darkness." I struggled to sit up, my head whirling."What do you mean?" Lucifer's voice, silky and filled with conspiracy, approached me suddenly." Ava, you've tapped into a vast spring of magic. One that could alter the course of our world." I peered about, trying to take everything in. The darkness was p
Lorcan's Pov With Ava's magic reaching an unprecedented level, the whole place was enveloped in a blackness so deep it sounded as though it had a life of its own. The air hummed with raw, untamed energy and the heavens swirled with black shadows. Amid all of this confusion, Lorcan remained steadfast in his position. Lucifer's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lorcan, perhaps understanding him. "Lorcan, you wisecrack, " Lucifer growled in a menacingly low voice. "You slept with her, did not you?" Lorcan grinned without regret. "I did, and I'd do it again in a twinkle." Though rage flared in Lucifer's eyes, he seemed intrigued by Lorcan's unwavering confidence. "You have no idea what you've unleashed, do you?" Lucifer chuckled. Lorcan, though, only laughed.Well, I guess I do. Our senses and our powers. They're all amplified right now. We are linked in ways that we never could have imagined." Lorcan's remarks seemed validated by the way Ava's magic pulsed through the
