Alpha Damon was engrossed in his work, his eyes scanning the ledger that Will had brought in a while ago, he could spot some errors and he did not like it. Whoever entered this particular ledger either had something fishy going on, or perhaps just made honest mistakes.A subtle “hi” startled him from his work and he lifted his eyes to see Princess.“Hi Princess, I did not hear you come in, how long have you been standing there.” He had honestly not heard her enter and most certainly did not see her standing there, that was why he asked.“A while, you were so focused I would rather not distract you,” she said with a smile. But you just did, alpha Damon thought, holding back an eye roll. His eyes popped out of their sock eats when she leaned over his desk, her boobs practically pouring out of her dress.They looked perfect, a little too perfect to be natural, but he brushed that aside. They still looked very attractive, and he forced his gaze was from them, swallowing loudly.His eyes
Ava could feel her heart pound violently in her chest as she rushed out, walking as fast as her legs could carry her. She had no set direction, but she knew she wanted to be as far from them as possible.The ladies' room was where her feet took her, and she heaved when she slammed the door behind her. Walking over to the mirror, she stared at her reflection.Her face still looked baffled, and shocked. How long has that been going on? What was it between them? She asked herself as she dropped the files in her hand to wash off the clammy sweat on her palm.All she wanted to do was return the goddamn files and head back home, but no, of course, having a normal day was not something she was familiar with.It hurt a little, scratch that, it hurt a lot for someone she had convinced herself and successfully believed not to care about. He did not look so into it, but she could not shake off the image of his lips touching hers. Gathering herself and heading out of the bathroom, she inhaled a
The door to his office creaked open, and Alpha Damon lifted his eyes to see princess. A sigh unconsciously left his lips.Had she not done enough? What else did she want now? perhaps there is more she had to do that she had not already done.“There are rumors flying around.” That was all she said, and Alpha Damon looked down at his computer, not wanting to speak to her just yet.“Did you beg a woman?” She asked insistent. Her face held what looked like embarrassment, and he cringed, why was she embarrassed for him, she had no right. Not in his books, at least.“ I am busy, can we have this chat some other time?” Alpha Damon asked, he was exhausted, and dealing with her was not something he wanted to do at the moment.“So she thinks we did more than just the kiss, why don’t we prove her right,” Princess said, walking over to him again.Bold of her, was all alpha Jude could think of. Sometimes, her boldness surprised him.“What do you mean?” Alpha Damon asked, moving the computer to the
Princess almost tripped on her feet as she hurried to grab her stuff. It's not every day that Alpha Damon asks them to go home with a wink, and it could only mean one thing. That they were on the same page now.She had stolen a glance at him one last time with her most seductive look as she walked out of the office. The office was empty when she returned, she headed downstairs to where they had parked earlier this morning. She tried opening the door, but it was locked, and he looked too lost in thought to even see her standing there, so she knocked softly on the window of the car, waving a little to grab his attention.He opened the car, and she stepped in, unable to hold back the smile on her face, she beamed excitedly. He looked zoned out again, and Princess wondered what it was that got him like that. “What are you thinking about, we should go.” Princess snapped at him, once again bringing him out of his train of thought. And they drove home, she could not contain her happiness
Ava waved back at Mika enthusiastically, drawing herself back to reality as she walked over to her. “I think we are getting old,” Ava said, panting when she got to the top, where Mika was.“Why?” Mika asked, squinting her eyes at her, confused.“It is getting harder and harder to get up here.” She said with a laugh, collapsing on the space beside her and taking the water bottle that Mika stretched to her.“Speak for yourself woman” Mika started with a chuckle,“ I am still very much young, okay?”Ava could feel Mika’s eyes on her, she was curious, it was that obvious, and Ava could tell she was waiting for the perfect moment to ask her for details.“So…” Mika started when she saw Ava set the water bottle aside.“So?” Ava asked back like she did not know what Mika was implying.“So what happened, you sounded pissed off and upset,” Mika asked again, I’m clear terms this time.“ I saw him kissing Princess.” Ava held back a Gaga as the words left her lips. She still felt very upset just f
Mika waited patiently, glancing towards the road at every slight noise. Ava was beginning to take too long, but she could understand since their spot was a little on the outskirts of West Wood.She sighed in relief when she saw Ava's car pull up, and she got out, looking around. She looked lost in thought as she got to the foot of the hill, her eyes looking around her.“Ava, come on” Mika waved at her, drawing her attention.Ava only looked deep in thought, and not half as bad as Mika had expected. Her voice had suggested something urgent, perhaps she was just shaken at the moment.They exchanged pleasantries and Mika offered her a bottle of water and waited patiently for her to speak, she had mentioned she needed someone to talk to. Mika was always prepared for these things, so she had packed some snacks and water for them both. Knowing fully well that they might be here for hours.Will did not exactly fancy the idea, but Mika could not help it, not only had she missed her friend fo
The sound of blades clashing against each other, the grunts and screams as they fought brought some sort of strange comfort to him. Being here, on the practice battlefield was his next favorite thing, his first had been spending time with Ava, but times and things had changed, and so had her feelings for him.He was yet to admit that he had caused this, this ginormous wall between them had all been his fault, he had built it, his making. It was he who had persuaded her to leave for West Wood that night for some so-called mate bond ceremony.And from his deduction and intense calculation, he had a hunch that alpha Damon had undoubtedly met Ava there.It was the only sense he could make out of it, and then two weeks later he had come to Mist Wood to discuss some land that they had long forgotten about. Or maybe he had not forgotten about the land, but he had made peace with the knowledge that it was not theirs anymore, they had lost it to West Wood a long time ago.Alpha Damon saw Av
Alpha Damon ate his dinner quietly, avoiding eye contact with Princess, who was seated right across from him at the dining table.She looked as if she had questions, questions he knew very well that he had no answers to, or maybe he did but just was not ready to acknowledge them.Her eyes glanced at him every few minutes, and she seemed to be contemplating the right moment to speak, he just hoped she did not.With what just happened between them, she had every right to ask as many questions as she wanted, and he was obligated to answer every one of them. “You left.” They were the first words that left her lips when she finally mustered the courage to speak. Alpha Damon understood clearly what she meant to be that, he had woken up and left the bed, mostly out of guilt, but he was not going to tell her that, of course.“I had to attend to a few things, you looked spent, so I would rather not wake you up.” It was the first excuse he could think of, so he blurted it out, hoping he sound
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
