Ava's POVI slammed the door behind me, hoping to shut out the image of Alpha Treyton's smirking face and chiseled chest from my mind. But it was no use - my thoughts were still racing with the encounter we just had. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to answer the door in nothing but a towel, his piercing blue eyes gleaming with amusement as he took in my flustered state.I had been on my way to the kitchen to grab a snack when I heard a knock at the door. Assuming it was one of my pack mates, I opened it without hesitation. But instead of a familiar face, I was met with the imposing figure of Alpha Treyton, his broad shoulders and defined waistline making my heart skip a beat.I tried to play it cool, but my face betrayed me, flushing bright red as I took in the sight of him. His smirk only made things worse, and I couldn't help but wonder if he had planned the whole thing just to see me squirm.Now, as I paced back and forth in my room, I couldn't shake off the feeling of embar
Ava POVAs I stepped off the palace escort and onto the familiar soil of my hometown, a mix of emotions swirled inside me. I was relieved to be back home, yet anxious about facing my parents and best friend, who were surely worried sick about me.The past few days at the palace had been a whirlwind of training, awkward encounters with Alpha Treyton, and struggling to navigate the complexities of pack politics. I was exhausted but grateful for the experience.But my heart raced as I approached my house. What would my parents say? How would they react to my sudden departure and return? And what about my best friend, Kairo? She must have been frantic with worry.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door. The warm glow of the living room enveloped me, and the sound of voices ceased as everyone turned to face me."Ava!" my mother exclaimed, rushing towards me with open arms. "Thank the goddess you're home safe!"My father's expression was stern, but his eyes betrayed his concern. "Ava,
Lorcan POVI had been lurking around the pack house for what felt like an eternity, always keeping a safe distance and blending in with the shadows. As a skilled warrior and friend, I couldn't shake off the feeling of responsibility for Ava's well-being. The Alpha twins, Treyton and Rafferty, didn't exactly inspire trust, and I needed to be sure she was safe.My disguises had become quite convincing a maid, a guard, or even a random pack member. I made sure to change my appearance frequently, so no one would suspect a thing. It was a small comfort, but at least I could keep an eye on Ava from afar.After the confrontation with the supernatural beings and Kael's departure, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Ava was going through a tumultuous time, trying to make sense of her new reality, oand I needed to be there for her, even if it meant watching over her in secret.As I watched over Ava, I could sense the Alphas' growing concern. They would often visit her, trying to rouse her
Rafferty POVAs I watched Ava storm out of the pack house, her skirts rustling in her haste, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. She was trying so hard to compose herself, to erase the evidence of her embarrassment, but I had already seen it. And I wasn't about to tease her about it, no, I had other plans.I followed her at a distance, my eyes fixed on her retreating figure, as she made her way back to her room. I could sense her frustration, her confusion, and her embarrassment. She was trying to process what had just happened, to make sense of what happened in the Treyton's chamber.I retreated back to my chambers. As I entered my chamber, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. I had seen enough for the day. I had seen the flush on her face, the embarrassment in her eyes, and I knew she was still reeling from the events that took place in my twin room.I closed the door behind me, and let out a low chuckle. Treyton's charms are just irresistible and he was great at s
Treyton POVAva ran out of my chambers leaving me frustrated and still horny.I groaned in frustration as I sent for an Omega who will take Ava place but I realized that Ava couldn't be replaced as I wanted only her and no one else.As I lay in the bathtub, the cool water enveloped me, soothing my frazzled nerves. I couldn't shake off the image of Ava's fiery gaze as she stormed out of my chambers. Her departure left me feeling frustrated, and I had lashed out at the unsuspecting maid who came to attend to me. Now, as I relaxed in the bath, I realized that my outburst was not just about the maid's interruption, but about the fact that I only wanted Ava by my side.My mind wandered back to our encounters, and I couldn't help but relive every moment. The taste of her lips still lingered on mine, and her sweet fragrance filled the air, teasing me. I remembered the way I had slid my tongue into her mouth, engaging her in a hot, passionate kiss. Her luscious lips had felt like heaven, and
Rafferty POVSince Ava's departure, I, Treyton, had been struggling with mood swings and a sense of emptiness. But as Alphas, Rafferty and I had to put our duties to the pack first, no matter how we felt. And today, that meant attending a meeting with the Council of Elders.As we entered the grand hall, I could sense the weight of their gaze upon us. The elders were eager to know if we had found our mate, and if not, they would likely pressure us to marry someone of their choosing. It was a tradition as old as our pack itself, and one that I had always dreaded.Rafferty and I took our seats, trying to appear confident and composed. But I knew the elders could see right through me. They knew I was struggling, and that Ava's absence had left a gaping hole in my heart.The meeting began, and the elders started their inquiry. "Treyton, Rafferty, have you found your mate?" one of them asked, his voice firm but curious.I hesitated, unsure of how to answer. Rafferty jumped in, trying to def
Ava POVI had been trying to shake off the strange feelings that had been lingering since my return from the pack house, but they only seemed to intensify as the days passed. I didn't know what to make of them, but I knew I had to put on a brave face for my parents' sake. They worried easily, and I didn't want to add to their concerns.As I headed to the kitchen, my mom called out to me again. "Ava, come quickly!" I hastened my pace, wondering what was amiss. When I arrived, she was standing by the cabinet, a letter in her hand. She tossed it to me, and I caught it, recognizing the royal palace stamp.My heart skipped a beat as I looked up at my mom, puzzled and curious. Why would the palace be sending us a letter? I didn't dare open it, my fear and uncertainty holding me back. Thoughts swirled in my mind like a whirlwind, but one possibility kept surfacing: Alpha Treyton coming to claim me as his Luna.My mom's words snapped me out of my reverie. "The elders are coming over this afte
Treyton povAs I sat cross-legged on the floor, my eyes closed, and my mind focused on my breath, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Meditation was a daily ritual for me, a way to clear my mind and prepare for the challenges of the day. I had been sitting in silence for about 20 minutes when I heard the door open and Rafferty enter the room. I ignored him, not wanting to break my concentration.Rafferty knew better than to disturb me during my meditation, so he simply sat down on the couch, waiting patiently for me to finish. After a few more minutes, I slowly opened my eyes, feeling refreshed and centered. I stood up, stretching my arms and legs, and turned to face Rafferty."Ready to face the day, brother?" I asked, a hint of a smile on my face.Rafferty nodded, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "As ready as we'll ever be, Treyton."We walked out of the room, chatting casually as we made our way through the corridors and halls of the palace. Our conversation was light and easy, t
