Ava waded through the water for a few minutes before she climbed onto the dock to sit.She could not sleep throughout the previous night and had decided to come out to the lake for a swim.Something to help clear her head from the constant weight of thoughts.All she wanted was one day without having to overthink or even think anything at all.So she had gotten up earlier than usual for a swim, the lake was still, and the environment was serene and quiet except for the chirping of birds and the hum of insects.She was, still is, and will always be a lover of nature, something was intriguing about being in the wild.Ava would have preferred to go for a little hunt, but her wolf was not exactly ready for it just yet do she lay on the dork, bathing under the bright warm early morning sun.Deciding it was enough, she got dressed and walked back home. Contrary to what her wolf wanted, she wanted to be out, but Ava was not exactly in the mood to transform, so she walked instead.It was a lo
“What is this meeting about?” Princess asked as she sat on the dock beside him.He had sent a message to her as early as he could so they could meet and talk.Ava was not doing anything about the pregnancy, and he would rather find another way around things than let her keep that child.“We need to talk,” Alpha Jude said, turning to glance at her."I thought we already spoke about everything,” Princess asked, taking a seat beside him and turning a questioning look at him.“Yes, I thought so too.” Alpha Jude said, sighing exasperatedly, “But there has been a new development and all the other plans have to be changed to match the new situation.”Princess could tell from the look in his eyes that whatever development it was that he was talking about was hugeHe seemed mildly terrified, almost helpless, and she was mortified for him. She had never seen him this way, although there had not been much contact between them.In the short while she had made acquaintances with him, he had only e
Ava woke up earlier than usual, it was the morning of her routine hunt, and she liked leaving as early as possible, she was one of the believers of the 'early bird gets the worm' saying.Needing no routine preparation, she headed out of the house, not before downing a glass of water from the jug that sat beside her bed.It mildly tasted odd, but Ava brushed it off, she had not cleaned her mouth, so she blamed it on the possibility of it being her taste buds.There was nothing wrong with the water, it had not been there the previous night so she assumed one of the maids had kept it there for her, everyone was very remotely aware of her routine. Walking out of the room, she heard a slight clatter to her left and turned to stare at the shelf of antique items and books that she had collected a while back.It had been her hobby as of then, but just as quickly as she had jumped into it, she had also jumped right out.Everything looked fine, she thought as she walked out, perhaps it was jus
Alpha Jude slowly walked over to her bedside, carefully dropping the jug of water and a glass beside it. Ava had the habit of downing water immediately after she woke up, and he was banking on that. Hoping she did the same thing and not notice.Walking over to the shelf of antiques and books that she had stowed away a few years back out of the habit of throwing away hobbies just as fast as she started them.She had leisurely started collecting antiques and books, completely obsessed with them, but she had dropped it a while later He watched her sleep and was in awe at how peaceful and even more beautiful she looked. She stirred in her sleep, groaning softly, and he recoiled behind the shelf.Enough to not be seen, there was just enough space behind it for his lean figure, and he was grateful for that.He looked away when she yawned, fully aware that yawns are contagious, and that he would get caught if he yawned.It would be embarrassing for her to catch him in such a compromising p
Princess sighed in relief as she closed the door behind her. Glancing at the giant clock, she gasped at how far the time was already. Mist wood was a little far off, but she had not thought she would spend all that time on the road. Rushing into the bathroom, she got ready for work.The shower was a quick one, and soon she dashed out and walked to the dresser to get ready. She had pre-picked her dress and shoes for the day.Nothing too sexy, but just about the right amount to turn heads. Ava would be out of her way for the day, and she planned to shoot her shot, yet again.Hoping that this time it would work in her Favor, the princess slipped the black dress over her head and onto her lean body. It fitted perfectly like a glove, it was a knee-length black dress with just one sleeve, the thigh-high slit accentuating her long perfect legs. A smile spread over her lips as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror. She looked perfect in her books, and she hoped alpha Damon found her to
It had been a stressful week for Ava. Almost every day was stressful for her. What with her fainting the previous day and adamantly rejecting the day off that Alpha Damon gave her?It wasn't even close to the weekend, but she already felt so exhausted. She needed a break and a well-soothing one at that. The weekend felt so far away, but she would rather get this project over and done with.It was a busy day in the office as usual. The past few weeks had come with an increased workload, and a generous amount fell on her shoulders. She loathed Jude all over when she had that much of the work to do, silently cursing him in her mind.The only thing that was pushing her was the fact that as the workload increased, her work with alpha Damon was also coming to an end. A part of her was happy, but a part of her was also sad. After all, the baby was his, and no matter how much she tried to run away from him, there was something that would always remind her of him forever. It was something t
Ava sighed both in exhaustion and relief as she pushed the door to her room open and stepped in. Exhaustion because she had been out most of the day and relief be she was finally at home. Kicking off her shoes, she walked straight to the bed and collapsed on it, lying face up, her arms spread her feet dangled over the edge of the bed.Her eyes focused on the white ceiling as she got lost in thoughts. She was grateful for Mika, and even more grateful that she had appeared just when she needed her the most. The only friend Mist Wood had given her had been alpha Jude and now that they were not together she felt extremely alone sometimes, but she had learned from a long time ago to not dwell on the feeling.She had had other friends at West Wood too, not much though but a few, and they had also disappeared when alpha Damon got into the picture.No one wanted to be associated with the girl who got bullied, no one wanted to be friends with someone who was humiliated almost every day at sc
Alpha Damon watched her from where he sat, she looked just as beautiful as ever, except for the little bags under her eyes.She looked tired and spent, but she still wanted to be here, having rejected his offer of a few days off work.Perhaps he was mistaken for thinking she had stopped hating him, but seeing her work even when she looked spent like that showed him just how much she wanted to be done and out of his hair.He looked away when her eyes trailed towards him, he still felt very guilty about what happened between him and princess.Speaking of which, he had not even had the balls to discuss what happened between them, he did not even know how to go about it yet.He felt bad about what he did and tried to avoid the princess as much as he could. It all just felt like he cheated on Ava, even though they weren't together.Alpha Damon held back a smile when he saw her tired face morphing into a beautiful and dazzling smile when she turned to see Mika.They held each other tightly,
Ava got to the lake faster than she expected to get there. The water was calm, and she first breathed in deeply while closing her eyes, as if she were in some form of yoga session. She walked slowly from one spot to another as she tried to let go of all the thoughts in her head. “Ava, it was just a dream. Just a dream.” She kept repeating to herself until she felt weak in the knees and finally decided to sit down on the grass to take a break from walking around. Her eyes fell on her big bump and just then she heard rustling leaves and footsteps approaching, causing her heart to race faster as she tried to get up but could not.*****Alpha Damon got into the woods and started to follow the mark that he had earlier made, as he did not want to forget the road that led to the lake again. He slowly lowered his pace as he got closer, not wanting to attract attention in case anyone was there. As the lake was visible, his eyes caught Ava as she paced up and down the side of the lake as if she
Alpha Damon woke up abruptly to the loud sound of an explosion and the first thing that his eyes caught was his wife, Ava, who was also up and tilting her head around the room. His heart raced faster as he stood immediately from the bed.“What is that sound?” Ava asked as she looked directly into the eyes of alpha Damon. They just heard a loud explosion in their house that woke them up from the bed. She stood up from the bed and rushed over to the cradle's bed where baby Mira was lying. Alpha Damon watched her walk to the cradle as he could not utter a single word. “What could be going on?” He asked himself as he walked slowly to where their baby girl was lying.“I don't know what is going on. I think we are under attack.” Alpha, Damon said in a low tone as he walked to the window, looking outside to see what was going on. “Jude!” He muttered as he slowly tilted his head away from the window. The pack was rowdy as everyone fled for their lives. “I am not here for anyone. I am here fo
“What is that sound?” Ava asked as she looked directly into the eyes of alpha Damon. They just heard a loud explosion in their house that woke them up from the bed. She stood up from the bed and rushed over to the cradle's bed where baby Oswald was lying. Her heart raced faster as she got to her child, heaving a sigh of relief as she met her son still sleeping soundly.“I don't know what is going on. I think we are under attack.” Alpha, Damon said in a low tone as he walked to the window, looking outside to see what was going on. Ava patted her child slowly as he continued to sleep. Her hand trembled as she was still not relaxed. “Who would want to attack at this time?” She asked as she tilted her head to look at alpha Damon, who began to walk towards them.“I am not here for anyone. I am here for alpha Damon, his wife, and my little one. My son.” They heard Alpha Jude's voice loudly from outside, and she gasped, but it was not much of a surprise to Alpha Damon.“That's alpha, Jude. W
It's been more than a week since Alpha Jude had discussed the next phase of the plan with Princess, but he was surprised as he had not heard any feedback from her since they last talked. He thought of calling her but kicked against the idea as she tossed his phone away to the other side of the bed. He took a deep breath as he stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to get prepared for the day's activity. Not long after, he came out of the bathroom and walked straight to his closet to grab his shirt for the day.He got ready for work and dashed out of the room, heading to the office. His thoughts soon took another dimension as he started to think of Ava. “It's been long since I last talked to her.” He thought as he brought out his phone to dial her contact but had to stop as he thought of calling her when he got to the office. He quickly had his breakfast and walked out of the pack house to his car. Not wasting time, he kicked his car and drove out of the house to the office
Alpha Damon opened his eyes abruptly and checked the screen of his phone to see if it was morning, but it was nowhere near morning at all. He took a deep breath as he hit his bed hard and grunted heavily. “Why can't I get any sleep?” He asked himself as he sat up on the bed. His mind had been filled with the thought of Ava. Even if he wanted to forget her, he could not just do that as each time he tried, he only ended up thinking about her more. He got up from his bed and went out of the room to the bar, as he thought of getting a drink to help him sleep faster.“What do we have here?” He asked himself as he checked through to see the varieties of drink that were there. “Voilà.” He said as his gaze fell on the one he felt was the strongest of all the drinks there. He brought it down and poured some into a glass cup, immediately emptying it into his mouth. He took a deep breath as he dropped the cup on the table and gazed at it with a straight face.“There wouldn't be a need for this.”
Ava woke up and slowly opened her eyes while she rolled to the other of her bed. For the first time in ages, she did not have to bother about going to work. She heaved a heavy sigh as she yawned, stretching out her arms as she slowly sat up on the bed. She tilted her head around the whole room as she thought of what to do for the day. “Mika is definitely going to work. What would I do today to kill time?” She asked herself as she slowly brought her fingers to tap on her lips.Heaving a sigh and grunting, she slowly got off the bed and walked slowly into the bathroom as she wanted to ease herself. She eased herself and on her way out, she stopped in front of the mirror, placing two fingers over her eye and opened it widely as she was examining her eyes. She did the same for the second eye and then heaved a sigh as she dropped her gaze to her protruded stomach, placing a hand over it and rubbing it gently while she stared at it in the mirror. Her heart raced faster as different thoughts
The morning came earlier than Alpha Jude had expected, especially after spending most of his time last night, thinking about the next phase of their plan. He squinted in response to the light that came in through the window, heaving a heavy sigh as he rolled to the other side of the bed before he opened his eyes widely. He blinked rapidly, yawning as he stretched out his arms before he slowly sat up on the bed. “Why is it morning already? I did not even have enough sleep.” He said to himself as he grabbed his phone to check what the time was.“The time is far gone. I don't think I will make it to the office today. I will just call them and notify them that I won't be coming today.” He thought as he scrolled through his contacts in search of his secretary's contact. He dialed her contact and placed the phone over his ears to talk. It rang for a moment before the call connected.“Hello, alpha. Good morning.” She said, and he exhaled rapidly with his mouth taking the “o” shape before he
Ava left the office immediately, as she was not comfortable with the way things were playing out between her and her mate, alpha Damon. She took a deep breath as she banged her office door and walked hastily out of the building. Not long after, she arrived home and made her way to her closet to undress and change into something lighter than what she was wearing. Her mind wandered off to the elongated eye contact between her and Alpha Damon when he came to return her phone. “Why was he staring so deep into my eyes?” She asked herself as she changed slowly.She stood there in the room, looking in a particular direction as different thoughts ran through her mind. “He did not show the hate and resentment as he did on the day that he knew that I was pregnant.” She thought as she began to walk slowly to her bed and sat at the edge of the bed, placing a hand on her baby bump. She took a deep breath as she rubbed her belly in a circular pattern. “I am scared of letting your father know about
Ava stood there quietly and Alpha Damon resisted all urges to tilt his head from his computer screen. He could not help but take a deep breath to calm his racing heart as different thoughts ran through his mind. Just when he was about to tilt his head to ask her why she was still standing, she cleared her throat slightly to talk.“Uhm… How did you know what I had wanted to ask for?” She asked, and he raised his head slowly from the computer screen to give her a quiet look. His heart raced slightly faster than normal as he thought of what to say. Just then, an idea popped up in his mind and he inhaled deeply to talk.“I mean, it's only right that I allow you some time to go and take care of yourself and your growing baby.” He said and observed her to see any change in her facial expression. She only maintained a straight face as she looked at alpha Damon directly in the eyes as if she were trying to read his mind. “What is going through her mind? What could she be thinking of?” He aske
