Ava Wilson POVAs I step into the room, I carefully make my way through the entrance. The drink I had earlier is starting to take effect, making me feel a bit lightheaded. It's a welcome distraction from the overwhelming anxiety that's been consuming me."Hello," I greet, entering the main area of the room. There's a pole placed in the middle, with a red curtain separating a sofa from the stage. I can see the body of a person sitting on the other side, but their face is obscured by the curtain.Why would they set up the curtain like this if they wanted to see the dancer? I don't understand. And how am I supposed to give Mark's friend the drink if I can't even see him properly?I can see three or four figures on the other side, but I can't make out any details. This situation is unsettling, and it's not putting me at ease. Mark wants me to get his friend in the mood, but how can I do that if I can't even deliver the drink to him?"Okay, Ava, you can do this," I try to boost my spirits.
Ava Wilson POVNever had I felt so embarrassed before. Should I blame it on Austin, or admit that I've never done something so daring for anyone else?My heart raced uncontrollably, even after taking the deepest breaths I could muster to fill my lungs with air. It felt suffocating in this room, and the tension was becoming unbearable.I used to think anyone could handle a situation like this, but everything was crumbling, and I felt utterly lost."Questa cagna puzza," a strange voice echoed in my head. I didn't understand the words, but they froze me in fear, almost causing me to faint.{This bitch stinks}Their intimidating tone made me wonder why they were so angry with me. I was scared, to the point where I thought I might wet my pants."È così?" {That's right}I couldn't comprehend the language they were speaking now. Why couldn't they stick to the language they used before?The unfamiliar language only added to the eerie atmosphere in the room, making me even more uneasy.I want
Ava Wilson Pov."This isn't easy to have Amore, if you want to get out, then you need to pay first, nothing is free even the gate you touched and ruined with your blood," he said coldly.My eyes fell on the door, the blood from my banging still fresh. How could he call me dirty?This is my blood, it's so painful, and he can't see that. All he can do is call it dirty. I can't stand this guy who knows nothing other than going crazy about things.He's more agitated than the people beside him. Even without seeing his face, I can tell he's pathetic.He speaks like this to see how desperate I am, so he can enjoy my condition.One thing is for sure, he loves feeding on someone's helplessness.That's why he's pushing me more than anyone else.No one here is more interesting than him. I can't hear anyone saying anything other than watching me like I'm a clown, and he can enjoy my pitiful condition without any shame."You know what we call people like you?" I questioned, trying to calm my nerve
Ava Wilson POV"Even if you liked what you watched, I didn't. You're ugly enough! How come you are the exotic dancer we asked for?" Chester asked arrogantly, his voice cold, and his face emotionless.Setting his words aside, I need to focus on the matter - Is he doubting me?The way he tries to read me, I sense that he truly does not believe I am an exotic dancer. I already explained how I entered the wrong room, so why is he so fixated on calling me that?"I have to say you certainly have the palest face I've ever seen in my whole damn life, my ugly face looks more hydrated," I chuckled, but his facial expressions remained the same.It's quite a unique quality. Even his friend's facial expressions change, showing how shocked he is about my talking like this.Still, the person I'm talking to has no expression, which is pretty shocking to me."No issue, I love being pale. At least it's better than how your chubby cheeks look," he mocked.I can hear him calling me fat. This is so over t
Ava Wilson POVMy eyes widened as the person suddenly spoke out. It was Chester, but his words didn't have the same impact as Kevin's.A strange feeling swirled in my stomach upon hearing him speak like that, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was."What do you say?" Chester stood up and started walking toward me.My hands started sweating, even though they had already stopped bleeding. The sweat made them feel like they were burning in the high heat, which was unbearable.With each step he took closer to me, my heart raced even faster, and being so close to him didn't make me feel at ease."Tell me, dear dancer," he came even closer, stopping just an inch away from me. I could feel his breath on my skin.He smelled so sweet, clouding my senses. Why was this guy affecting me so much?Everything about him played with my emotions in ways I couldn't comprehend."What... are you doing?" I stammered, unable to form coherent words. He had a profound effect on me, from every corner of m
Ava Wilson Pov.His question caught me off guard, leaving me unsure of how I could possibly prove my innocence. I needed to find a way out of this situation, as that was the only chance to clear my name.Even if I wasn't entirely blameless and had come here with a spiked drink, I couldn't bear all the responsibility. I had to clear my name."And if you think I don't know about that drink you spilled on the ground, you're mistaken. We vampires have sharper senses than you dogs," he said sharply.My eyes widened at his words. He wasn't letting me off the hook, and now he even knew about the drink! How could I possibly justify this?"I…" I tried to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat, trapping me in the situation he'd put me in.How foolish I was to think I could trap someone while I myself got entangled in these situations. Nothing had changed, and I was once again caught in a mess.It was always my impulsive nature that led to such mistakes. I knew this was one of the gravest e
Ava Wilson POVChester's smirk curled up as he planted his remark on me. "My interest in you is enough to succeed in this game. You don't need to worry about other things. I don't blame people without any proof, and you've already given me those reasons," he said."That's your opinion, but my business doesn't relate to you," I replied. If it's true that he is my mate, then he wouldn't be related to Mark. I must have mistaken him for someone else – perhaps a friend or bodyguard.Why didn't Mark just show me a picture instead of getting me into this situation?'As if you asked for it,' my conscience mocked me. True, I didn't ask for any of this, but it's turning out to be quite the mess.I came here to find his mate and lead him on, but it turns out I have my own mate.It's already morning, and if I don't get home now, things will be even more tangled up."See, I am a girl, and not just any girl. My dad is an Alpha, and I have an image to maintain. How about you let me go now, and we ca
Amelia POV"My Mate," Mark declared, turning my head to see two men emerging from the other side of the same room Ava had entered.I was shocked; Ava had been inside for quite some time, and now two other men were coming out? How many people were in there? And why wasn't she out yet?"Damn, that girl can't even do one thing right; she spoiled the whole plan," Mark grumbled, looking angry.I couldn't believe his reaction; this wasn't the time to worry about the plan. We should be concerned about the Alpha's daughter's safety. Even though Mark had Alpha blood and his father was friends with Ava's father, it wouldn't save us. We were in grave danger, and if we didn't act fast, the consequences would be dire.Feeling the weight of responsibility as Ava's personal maid, I knew I'd be blamed for everything, even though she had chosen to come here."We need to save Ava, Mark. If your mate is out, then who's still inside?" I said, trying to get him to see the gravity of the situation."Don't
Ava Wilson POVI leaped in surprise at the sudden deep voice that shook me to my core. My eyes fell upon the person who had appeared out of nowhere, his intense blue eyes staring at us as if he could tear Austin apart and then turn to me. The intensity of his gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I knew this encounter wouldn't end well."I said leave her, you..." He cut Austin off, pulling him away and gripping my wrist firmly, scaring me even more. His impact was so strong that I couldn't help but tremble in fear.Things would not go well if he continued like this. Austin tried to reason with him, matching Chester's gaze, but he was much shorter and looked like a kid in front of the bulky Chester.Chester growled with anger, and it startled me. He growled like a vampire, which I couldn't deny was kind of sexy and embarrassing because it turned me on.Amelia looked around, making me realise that everyone was watching us, which was not good. My parents weren't present, but they would he
Ava Wilson POVAs I lay on the bed, a sudden voice reached my ears, and there was my mom, entering the room."You're feeling fine, right?" she asked, her concern palpable.Why did she come asking all of a sudden? Could she have found out about the mischief Mark and I pulled, and did Amelia spill the beans to her?It doesn't seem like that's the case, as Amelia seems like someone who knows how to keep mysteries to herself.Yet, it's hard to believe that mom is just stressed. I tried to shield myself with the blanket, not wanting to reveal my injuries to her.Hidden beneath the blanket, my heart raced with mixed emotions. I didn't want my mom to worry about me, but at the same time, it felt comforting to have her here, showing genuine concern."I'm okay, Mom," I replied, trying my best to sound reassuring. "Just a little tired, that's all."She came closer and sat beside me on the bed, her warm hand gently brushing a strand of hair away from my face. "You can tell me anything, you know.
Ava Wilson POVMark's shout jolted me as he forcefully pulled Chester's hand away from mine, leaving me stunned. My gaze fixated on Chester, who seemed ready to drain the life out of Mark, an intent to kill lurking in his eyes without a single drop of bloodshed.I turned to Amelia, who appeared calm on the outside but her face betrayed the stress she must be feeling. I understood her position, considering how late it was for me to be out, and I was relieved that I didn't act impulsively with Chester in the heat of the moment. That could have led to mating and complications, potentially distracting me from seeking revenge against Austin and his partners in crime.Trying to ease Mark's concern, I spoke calmly, "Relax, I'm still fine, you can see, right?"I couldn't fathom how he could think I harmed myself when he was the reason I entered that damn room and ended up entangled with Chester. It was quite a dramatic twist that I couldn't help but appreciate. Mark wanted his mate, but for t
Ava Wilson POVI couldn't believe it when he suddenly cursed like that, catching me completely off guard in the midst of our passionate kiss. My mind raced, trying to make sense of what had just happened, but the anger bubbling inside him was evident, threatening to erupt at any moment.My eyes narrowed as I searched for the cause of his sudden outburst, hoping to understand the reason behind his unexpected behaviour."We need to get out of here," Chester spoke urgently, pulling me up with his firm grip, and I found myself standing, supported by his forearm.The shock I felt was beyond words. Why would he want us to leave now, especially when things were so intense between us? It was all so messed up, and I struggled to wrap my head around it."What happened?" I asked, desperately trying to comprehend why he'd bring up leaving in the midst of such a passionate moment, for goodness' sake."Your friend is waiting, and Kevin asked me to come out too," he explained, straightening his clot
Ava Wilson POVChester's words flowed like a river of desire and commanding authority, stirring a storm of emotions within me. "Suck hard, baby girl. I can't be the only one giving you pleasure. You sucked my fingers with such passion, so why not try them with your own lips?" His wet finger grazed my mouth, leaving them moist with my own essence.With a mix of hesitance and curiosity, I opened my mouth, allowing him to slide his finger inside. The salty taste of my own cum lingered on my tongue as I closed my lips around his finger. He urged me on, his voice brimming with satisfaction."Just like that, baby girl. Clean it off," he encouraged, pressing his finger deeper, igniting my desires and sending shivers down my spine.In response, I rolled my tongue around his fingers, sucking them sensually. After a few moments, he withdrew his finger from my mouth."How does it taste, baby girl?" he inquired.Conflicted emotions flooded my mind as I contemplated this intimate act. These were t
Ava Wilson POVChester's words sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but moan in response to his teasing. It was hard to believe that I, a 19-year-old, was caught in such a sensual situation. My body seemed to have a mind of its own, driven by hormones that made me more sensitive than ever before."Is this real?" I whispered to myself, trying to grasp the reality of the moment. I could feel his thumb pressing against me, causing my panties to cling to my core, even though he wasn't making direct contact.Chester, however, wasn't one to complain. He reminded me that pleasure came with reciprocity. He had offered me the choice of whose lips to use to pleasure him, and now it seemed like my choice is way more fizzy than my mind . His thumb pushed further, and the cloth of my panties grazed against me, making me acutely aware of every sensation.I struggled to find the right words to respond, but his finger inside my panties, squeezing and teasing my delicate folds, left me spee
Kevin Lopez POVIf I were to say that I didn't enjoy this entire situation, that would be a flat-out lie, wouldn't it? Amelia—yeah, that's her name—looks like she might faint any moment now. The way she's berating Embo clearly shows she's a friend of that little guy.But why are my emotions all stirred up like this? Just by looking at her, I feel like there's a whirlwind going on inside my head.That's why I suggested that she listen to this Mark guy, who's eyeing Embo like he's about to devour him. And honestly, that's the look Mark always gives whenever I spot him at the club. His eyes and mouth practically drool over Embo.It's obvious; Embo is his mate, so why shouldn't it happen, right?These three friends are wild and intriguing as hell."How about you try doing the same thing? My friend said a lot of things. How about you bring your so-called king out so we can have our friend Ava?" She retorted sharply.I wasn't shocked because I had heard Ava's voice from inside the room, and
Mark POVIn my confused state of mind, I couldn't think straight. The idea that Ava had control over many things had once occupied my thoughts. But now, as I looked at my mate Embo and his friend Kevin, I knew deep down that things were spiralling out of control, and it wasn't going to end well.The stress weighed heavily on my shoulders as I contemplated the wrath of Alpha Daniel. I knew he would tear into me, ripping my skin apart for the mess Ava and I had created. I couldn't ignore the ominous feeling that the outcome would be far from favourable.As I reflected on the unfolding events, the truth became clear—I could see the disaster looming ahead. My fears intensified, especially with Chester and his ruthless ways in the picture. Among vampires, he was the cruellest, driven not only by bloodlust but also by a thirst for power and manipulation. He held dominion over his coven, reigning above all others, and his life revolved around enforcing his rule.Ava, who had lost her memory,
Amelia POVAs I steal a glance at Mark, I feel the tension radiating from him, and I can't blame him. Everything seems to be going awry at this moment. Ava, whom he sent to lure someone inside, is now out of the room, and three guys are still inside. It frustrates me that he let her go in, despite the risk. He could have waited until his mate was alone, but he didn't. It just doesn't make sense, and he knows very well that Alpha Daniel would be furious if anything happened to his precious daughter.The atmosphere feels uneasy, and when two strangers emerge from the room, their eyes on us, it's as if we're caught in some dramatic spectacle, which, in a way, is true."What is happening here?" The taller one speaks, and I can tell he's Mark's mate.Mark startles at the sound of his mate's voice, and I can't help but look at the other person, slightly taller than Mark's mate, his deep eyes filled with curiosity. There's something about him that captivates me, and his scent betrays his tru
