NATALIE'S POV

"What's going on?" Sophia asked, sipping her tea.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, genuinely confused.

"I could use a knife to cut through the tension between you and Ace. It's suffocating. Also, you snuck out last night and ever since then, Ace's anger has multiplied," Sophia answered, looking at me closely. I bit the inside of my mouth to hide my nervousness. I didn't know it was that noticeable. Ace hadn't spoken to me since last night and I hadn't even made any effort to talk to him. He misunderstood and wouldn't let me explain. Unconsciously, I looked down at the ring on my finger and rubbed it gently.

"So?" Sophia pressed on.

"It's nothing. I'm not at fault, he is," I told her. Sophia raised a brow and she had a look on her face that told me that she wasn't taking anything I said seriously.

"What did you do?"

"What makes you think it's me?" I fired back.

"One, whenever Ace walks by or is near, you have this guilty look on

    NATALIE'S POV "You're slacking!" Ava yelled from the distance. I breathed in and out as the sweat ran down my face and I bent on my knee. "And you're training me too fucking hard!" I yelled back. "Talking back to the coach? Two more laps!" Ava yelled and sipped on her drink. I grit my teeth as I stood straight and continued running round the field. How could a mere beta's sister order the Luna? 'Well, she is pretty skilled so…' Tania said. I growled. You might be wondering what was happening, right? Well, I'll rewind a bit for you. EARLIER THAT DAY! "Get up! You can't expect to be respected if you keep sleeping like a fucking potato!" Ava yelled in my ear. I jumped up from the bed, cradling my ears. My ears were ringing and I think I just got a headache. "The fuck was that for?" I asked. She was pissing me off too much these days. Why the hell was she in my room? "You have to be at the training grounds in the next 15 minutes. If you're even a second late, I'll have to pu

    NATALIE'S POV The door burst open and I quickly stuffed the envelope and its contents inside my shirt. I kept my back to whoever it was that came into the room. "What are you doing, gattina?" Ace's masculine voice asked. My insides knotted as I tried to find the perfect reply that wouldn't make him suspicious. I moved sideways to the closet. "Oh, nothing. Just trying to recuperate after the torture you and your best girl put me through," I answered, sarcastically. Ace's laugh filled the room and I was shocked. "It's for your own good, love. You'll understand when the time is right," he said. "Shouldn't you be at work? And weren't you angry at me a few days ago? Accusing me of wanting to cheat?" I asked, raising a brow. I slowly slipped the envelope into my jeans so it would hold then I turned to face Ace. "True, I should be at work and yes, I was angry at you. To answer the first question, I'm working from home. It doesn't look like you'll stay put

    NATALIE'S POV I flung the box away along with the contents and immediately stepped back. The eyes of the bloody head stared back at me and even though I knew it was lifeless and couldn't do me any harm, I let out another scream. "Ah!" I yelled, putting my hand over my mouth. Emily stood frozen in spot, her eyes wide and mouth agape. Ace and Jayden came running down the stairs and into the living room. "Natalie, what's going-" Jayden asked, coming to stand beside me. Ace's eyes followed Jayden's movement and he frowned. If it was any other time, I'd have teased him but this was important. "What's that?" I croaked out, pointing towards the head. Jayden and Ace looked at the head and released a sigh. I noticed them exchanging looks. "It's nothing, don't worry yourself about it," Jayden assured me, patting my shoulders. I felt uncomfortable with his touch so I tried shifting away. Unfortunately, he didn't get the memo and probably thought I was still scared so he wouldn't let go

    NATALIE "He looks like you," I said, caressing the tiny thing in my arms. Sophia smiled as she looked in our direction. "I hope so," she replied. I was still in awe at the beauty of the baby and how tiny it looked. By just one glance on it, I knew this little boy would have us wrapped around his fingers. "Thoughts on names?" I asked her. Sophia didn't even think about it. "Devin," she stated. I paused. The name sounded familiar to me and I tried to remember where I'd seen it. A memory flashed through my brain and I remembered. That day at Ace's office, there was a letter addressed to somebody named Devin. "It's a nice name. Is it special to you in any way?" I asked, cautiously. I caught the slight quiver of her lips. "He is. He's more special than you'll ever know," she whispered as tears pooled in her eyes. She must have noticed her strange behavior since she didn't let her tears fall and immediately began acting as if she hadn't just showed me suspiciou

    NATALIE'S POV Ace's hand trembled on the gun and he lowered his hands to his side. He didn't glance at me but rather kept his gaze firmly trained on the woman who lay before us. Her usually full and shiny dark hair matted against her forehead haggardly and her lips had lines and were dry. Georgina Gomez looked nothing like what the media portrayed her as all those years ago. I was pretty sure Ace didn't do her bad like this so what happened? Georhine let out a dry cough and crawled a bit closer to Ace and I. Her hands reached out to grab Ace and I's leg but on instinct, I flinched and stepped back while Ace remained frozen. "Please," she wheezed, voice sounding scratchy against my ear, "Help me," she begged. For what? I wasn't sure. I was still trying to process what was happening when her raised head dropped onto the ground sharply, making a loud thud. Ace finally gave a reaction and maybe instinctively, he reached out to grab her but wasn't quick enough as her head already hit t

    NATALIE "Spread your legs apart. Now throw," my trainer said, helping me to widen my stance. I grit my teeth and did as he said. "Anger can help or hinder. But fury, fury is meant to be used to our advantage. Natalie, I can sense fury from you, channel it into your throws," he ordered. I inhaled a deep breath and did as he said. White hot fury coursed through me as I clenched my fist and threw at the practice doll. "Wow," a familiar voice said. The owner being someone I'd been avoiding for the past few hours. I looked at Ace with hooded eyes and saw the head of the practice doll in his arms. He had a surprised look on his face but his eyes held a gleam of pride. "Can we continue?" I asked my trainer. He glanced at Ace who waved him off. My trainer nodded at Ace and walked away. I rolled my eyes. I was the Luna, why the hell did nobody listen to me? "Natalie, you can't avoid me forever you know?" he asked. I jumped a bit, surprise. When did he get behind

    NATALIE "So we can all agree Ace doesn't know what he's doing, right?" I asked, after Jayden finished speaking. "Yup," Sophia replied, looking at me. "So what do we do?" "Send Georgina away? Without Ace knowing?" Emily suggested eagerly. She was sitting opposite me, rubbing her baby bump slowly. I don't even know who invited her to this meeting. "Your opinion wasn't seeked, Emily," I said bitterly. She glanced at me. "Well excuse for trying to help the woman who's husband has eyes for everything with a fucking pussy!" Emily jabbed. My hand slammed down hard on the table, startling everyone. "Calm down. This is about Ace, not you two's animosity," Ava said, rolling her eyes. I glared at her then clenched my fist to stop myself from saying anything that'd make matters worse. "Fine," I murmured. "Do we have a plan?" "What about what she suggested?" Ava asked, pointing at Emily. "It won't work. Ace feels the strong urge to protect Georgina. We can't just kick her out without a sol

    NATALIE "Why'd you lie, Emily? Did you need attention that much? Or was it a plan to ruin my life?" I asked, pouring the tea into the cup. Emily sighed from behind me. "It was originally meant to get me out of marrying Ace but then I saw how he treated you and then this happened. Natalie, I didn't mean it like this," she explained. "Does it matter to you what I think, Emily? You've never really liked me. I was always the annoying little sister. Why do you care if I'm mad?" I asked her. "I always craved mum and dad's attention. And I knew if I was the perfect daughter and you weren't, then I'd get all their love and attention. So in the process of achieving that, I became a bitter bitch. I'm sorry," she apologized. "I understand." "I won't stay here anymore. I don't want to come between you and Ace but Natalie, beware of that woman. She's something else," Emily said. " I know, but Ace won't listen. He's hell bent on taking care of his baby girl," I said bitterly. "Make him bel

    I'm actually really emotional that I had to end this. I remember when I first started ONWAA I was so excited to delve into their story. It feels like a part of me is leaving. As I wrote ONWAA, lots of new ideas came in and the original plot shook. ONWAA was actually meant to be way longer than this but I found out that wouldn't work. I have so many things to commit to this year, this month especially and if I decided to drag ONWAA out, updates would be slow and I couldn't do that anymore. I am so happy to have gone through Ace And Natalie's story with you. Thank you for your love and support and I assure you, there is more where this came from. See you when I see you! MwahhPS: drop what you think about the story, your thoughts, extra questions etc. I promise I'll answer them.

  • One Night With Alpha Ace   EPILOGUE

    NATALIE It's been a month since everything had happened. Last week, I'd discovered I was actually pregnant. So far, I'd only told Sophia. I was currently waiting for everyone to come for dinner. I was going to tell them the good news in a very special way. The first to arrive was Jayden and Zora. Ever since the incident they'd gotten closer. I think they might be dating. After them was Ava. She and I had become great friends now and she was even seeing someone. "Where's Ace?" I asked frowning. "He can't be late again," I added. "Calm down, he said he needed to finish off something at work before coming for dinner. He'll be here in about an hour," Jayden said. My eyes almost popped out of the sockets. "An hour? And I should calm down?" I yelled. "That is not happening," I yelled as I picked up the phone to call him. Zora snatched my phone from me. "Let the man finish his work. He won't run away," she teased. I rolled my eyes as I let out an exhau

    NATALIE "Wake up," someone said sinisterly, close to my ears. They stood up and the next thing I felt was electricity jolting through me from my thigh. My eyes snapped open and the first thing I saw was a taser. I raised my head to look at the person. "Georgina," I muttered. She was smirking at me and holding the taser in her hand. "You're finally awake. I never knew you were such a deep sleeper, Natalie," she giggled. "Where is everyone? What have you done to them?" I asked, struggling to free my hands from the rope binding them together. "They're in the next room. Shall we go to them?," she asked. She pointed at a shadowhound in the corner and it immediately came to her side. "Take her and follow me," she ordered. My eyes widened as I struggled to free myself. If that thing touched me I'd be gone. "Don't worry, Jamie doesn't bite," she chuckled. The shadowhound picked up the chair I was tied to and followed closely behind Georgina. The place we

    NATALIE "This is where it happened? There's so much blood……and bodies," Zora said, crossing over the dead bodies scattered around the floor. "Your sister really knows how to massacre," Jayden gritted out. Ava stood beside me examining the bodies when her eyes fell on someone at the far end. The person was struggling to call out to us. There was blood all over her face and her uniform had been torn in different places. "Sasha," Ava yelled, jumping dead bodies to get to the woman. She grabbed the woman and placed her head on her lap. "Sasha, you'll be alright. Just breathe, please," Ava screamed, holding the woman tightly. Tears began falling down her eyes as the woman, Sasha, struggled to pass a message. "Be careful. She will come. Two days. Gone," she said, struggling. Ava turned to look at Zora. "Aren't you a witch? Do something! Save her!" Ava screamed, crying profusely. Zora offered her a sad smile. "I can't. I can't interfere with death or there will be consequences," She sai

    NATALIE "I'm Zora, Isra's sister," she said, sticking her hand out. I put my hand on my forehead as I stepped back from her. "Hold on, let me help you," she continued, coming closer. I was weak so I just let her do whatever the hell she was doing. "I don't trust you," I muttered. Zora smiled as she placed her hand on my forehead and closed her eyes. She began chanting some strange words and slowly, I felt the dizziness leaving me. "Natalie!" Ace yelled. I opened my eyes and saw him running towards us. "Hey, what are you doing to her?" He yelled. "If he interrupts what I'm doing, there will be dire consequences to the three of us. I can't stop until I'm done," Zora said, eyes still closed. I put a hand out, telling Ace to slow down. 'Calm the fuck down, Ace, she's helping me,' I mind linked him. Ace slowed down but still looked worried. Zora kept her hand over my head for a few more minutes before she stood up. She gave me a helping hand too. I shook my head noticing that I didn't

    NATALIE ONE WEEK LATER It's officially been a week since our discovery. Ever since then, I haven't had much time to investigate any more. Although, I have been thinking about the vision of Devin Georgina showed me. Two days ago, Amelia, Chloe, Rachel and Jared came so they could attend the event. I was currently shopping with the three of them. "So you're telling me that your life turned into a literal fantasy/action movie as soon as you married Ace?" Jared asked. I stuffed a bagel into my mouth as I nodded. "That's exciting," Rachel said, holding up a dress on my body. "How does this look?" She asked. "Another maroon dress? Let's try other colors,"I said, walking to the clothing rack. "No," they screamed together. "I mean, maroon would look heaven on you," Chloe said, giving me a shaky smile. "Something's fishy," I replied. "Jared, why don't you go look for a suit for yourself?" Rachel said, pushing him away. Jared left without fuss which only raised my suspicions more. "Wha

    NATALIE "A Crysta has a hand in what's going on. And I have a feeling Isra is the Crysta." Ace's words had been repeating itself in my head ever since. I'd finished preparing my speech and I was currently searching about Crystas. Almost nothing came up. I found one particular article about Crystas though. The only good thing I got out of it was that Crystas could be good or bad. The good ones lived like monks and it would be extremely hard to find them. "Natalie?" Emma said, cutting my thoughts. "Yeah?" I answered, glancing up at her. "Ace said he's going to be late. The meeting is taking a while so he sent Jayden to come take you home," Emma said. She stepped aside, making way for Jayden. Jayden was wearing a black button up long sleeve shirt with black trousers. He had on a loose tie and his hair looked extremely messy. "Are you ready?" He asked, coming closer. Emma had left already so I nodded. I packed up my things and walked out with Jayden bes

    NATALIE "Rise and shine, princess," Ace whispered in my ear. I groaned and turned around. "Open your eyes," he whispered. I grumbled as I turned the other way again. Ace made a tsk sound then I heard the sound of footsteps. Everywhere got quiet for a moment before I felt cold as ice water on me. "Fucking Goddess," I yelled, straightening up and rubbing my eyes. Ace smirked as he came to my front. I saw red before anything else. "You, idiot. How dare you do that to me? I swear, when I'm done with you—" I said, rushing to hit him. Ace skillfully caught both my hands in his and looked at me devilishly. "You'll what?" He asked, raising a brow. My anger began to clear and I finally noticed something. Ace was shirtless. My cheeks heated up as I struggled to get out of his grip. "Nothing, I was just blabbing. Sleep. I'm still sleepy," I stuttered. Ace chuckled as he let go of my hand. He walked to the bedside table and picked up a glass of water then looked at

    NATALIE "Ace?" I asked, knocking on the door of the study. It was already 9pm and I'd just gotten back a few minutes ago. Ava had told me that since we left, Ace hadn't come out of the study meaning he hadn't had his dinner. Which was why I was currently standing in front of his study door, holding a plate of salad. "Come in," He answered. I pushed the door open and went in. Ace was hunched over his desk, looking over a couple of files. He raised his head up to look at me and that was when I noticed he was wearing glasses. "Woah, Ace, I never knew you wore glasses," I said, placing the salad bowl on his desk and walking closer to him. I pulled the glasses off his face and brought them closer to my eyes. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me, princess. When did you get back?" He asked, dragging me to sit on his lap. "A few minutes ago," I answered as I put the glasses back on his face. I pulled back so I could enjoy the view. Men, no scratch that, Ace with glasses was
