I opened my eyes to a steady clinking sound that seemed to grow louder with each second. I was aware of a floating sensation and when I looked below me I could see my feet were scuffing against the ground below me.
The clinking sound that persevered was coming from the chains that held my legs steadfast. I felt arms under my armpit and looked to my side to see two figures dragging me forward, one on each side of my arms. In front of me was Eve moving forward, what looked like a blow torch in her hands.
There was a faint ringing sound in my ears and I still felt dizzy. I just lay there limp in the hands of the two figures who are dragging me forward.
A dull throbbing pain follows in my head as I crane my.neck to the aude to see where we were. All I can see is dark
AvaI stare shell shocked at the woman in front of me. From the silver color of her hair to the harsh black of her eyes and as she looked at me, I knew instantly that I could recognize that face."You?""Yes, me in body and soul" she chuckled."You know I'm quite surprised that you can remember who I am although Eve here tells me that you somehow lost your memories."I could member her quite alright, images of a pack flash behind my eyes, of me walking with this woman beside me talking and laughing. There was another woman walking close to us but the memory was hazy. I couldn't picture the other woman clearly."I find it very interesting that you are not able to remember most of the people who you were very close to before your death and yet you can remember me.""Are…are you not a wolf?" If she was in my memory just now. In the pack I had just remembered then she had to be a wolf.Miriam drew away from me a huge grin on her face."I stayed a while in your pack but that dosnet mean I
I was starting to get restless now and with each minute that passed I could feel myself getting more and more angry. It had been two hours since Cade had left the pack in search of Ava and I haven't heard anything from him. All my attempts to reach him had all proved abortive. Grimacing, I rubbed my hands on my face trying to quell the shift that was beginning in me whenever I got angry. "Relax Alpha if Cade is true to his words them we only have to trust him and wait for now" I knew Tao was trying to get me to calm down but his words only seemed to agitate me even more. "It's been hours, he hasn't called back or said anything. If you were in my position you'd feel the same." "Maybe there is traffic," Tao offered. I threw him a murderous glance and Tao raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I give up on cheering you up." I took a deep breath once again trying to calm down the beast that was fast rising within me feeding on my restlessness and anger and felt it subside. "There
AVA. For some reason whatever Eve had put into my body was preventing me from using my wolf powers. The more I remained in the darkness of the cell the weaker and weaker I got. Occasionally Eve would come in and taunt me while I kept quiet and just listened without saying a word. I was more interested on what I was going to do, what steps I was going to take to make sure that I escaped from her clutches without any harm. What she said yesterday still haunted me, echoing in my head like some sort of phantom bell. If Eve and Miriam were indeed serious about creating this so called witch hybrid that they talked about it meant that they had to kill me first in order for the spell to work. Apparently I had a mate somewhere who wasn’t dead and as long as I lived it posed a problem to the spell. Yet something kept bugging me at the back of my head. If I had a mate, how come he had a child without me and how come the both of us had been separated? Now that I was alone in the cell and tho
AVAI just stared back at Eve noting the way her eyes shone like she had just won the lottery.“Did you hear me Ava; I said I’m going to have Ryker kill you.”Of course I heard her but I didn’t want to acknowledge what she had just said. I didn’t want to show her the fear that was coursing through my body.“Why?” was all I could say as my brain wrapped around what Eve had just said.“That’s a good question. Miriam must have told you that she does not have any personal vendetta against you but I don’t want you to believe what she says for even a second, I do have a personal vendetta against you”Eve paused and paced around me her footsteps making thumping nooses in the floor of the cell.“I don’t know what gave you the audacity to think that you could just waltz into Ryker's life and suddenly act lovey dovey with him. When I’m done punishing you, you’ll never have a taste of what isn't yours.”“Ryker doesn’t belong to you; he has the right to chose whom he should remain with.”I knew I
AVA.I just sat there in shock staring at Cade who looked back at me with n nothing but coldness in his eyes. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.“You?” I said disbelieving what I was seeing.He said nothing but kept on watching me no expression on his face, nothing.“Cade here would be responsible for the final process of your death. He is going to inject his blood into you and from there we can proceed with what needs to be done.I closed my eyes refusing to believe that was I was seeing was true, refusing to believe that Rykers brother wasn’t just standing I front of me about to lend a hand to tis witches on my own death.“Please let me go “I said opening g my eyes, fighting back the tears that were threatening to spill through.“I’m afraid that isn’t an option” Eve hissed.Miriam gave a nod and the two women close to me bent a
“Tomorrow we will begin the final selection of the youngest warriors that will be inducted into the Betas programme,” I said, my voice projecting into the night. I moved my gaze to each individual wolf looking at me and watched the passion reflect in their eyes. I wanted them to be strong, to have unwavering confidence. At this stage, the pack needed strong Betas, so we started recruitment from an early age. The training was rigorous and I felt a wave of nostalgia go through me clearly remembering how it had been for me. “I want each and every one of you to believe in yourselves, believe in your abilities and believe in what you can do,” I said my eyes still on the small group. “And even if you fail it doesn’t mean you’re not strong or you’re not good at what you do. It’s just a message to pick yourself up and start from the beginning.” From the onset life hadn’t been easy for me. Born as a wolf I felt happy to be part of something more. Most of my teenage years were spent daydr
Ava. I watched Zane as he lifted his head again from the headrest, motioning to one of the empty sofas.My heart beat faster. What kind of confession was he possibly talking about?Cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead as I walked over to the empty sofa and took a seat, my eyes never leaving Zane’s face.His face was expressionless in the dim light of the den and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.At that moment I wished I could read his thoughts, it would allow me to know what he wanted to say even before he said it, even if it was just for this very moment."Are you alright Zane?"He ignored me, and the dread in the pit of my stomach grew.As I sat there watching, waiting for him to speak, I realized not for the first time how much I loved him, seeing him like this, knowing that it was because I wasn’t able to give him a child that had caused the rift between us made my heart ache.I struggled, moving from my rank of a weak omega to his mate, and subsequently to a Luna to
Ava.I sat down there sobbing, watching as my mate walked out on me after telling me he was going to hurt me over another woman. Everything about what was going on hurt so bad I could barely breathe. I should have been treated better. I struggled to get to this position; I struggled to get Zane’s attention and love. But I knew the bitter truth; Zane never loved me. I could see that clearly now, it had been a one-sided relationship all along. I looked around me at the home I shared with Zane for more than four years at the pack I had worked so hard to mold and maintain. In the early stages of my becoming a Luna, I knew nothing about governing a pack. It was all too overwhelming in the beginning. But I was determined to show Zane that I wasn't some woman that just wanted to answer the title of Luna. I worked hard to adapt, to learn, and this was how I was treated back. My mate had cheated on me with my friend. My wolf was howling in pain, adding to how miserable I felt. I could

"Alpha!" I jerk awake in bed instantly alert my eyes, noting two things in the semi-darkness of my room. Ava's spot on the bed is empty, the door of the room is halfway open like someone had left in a hurry intent on not making a noise and had forgotten to close the door. "Alpha!" Tao called out through his mind link,his voice barging into my thoughts. "What is it Tao?" I grumbled angry that he was using the mindink to wake me up. "We have a problem, multiple problems" I was distracted by Tao's words as part of me wondered where the hell Ava was. "
AvaI opened my eyes softly instantly feeling something perched at the base of my chest. I looked down to see Rykers arm draped across me in a sort of protective hold.I smiled as I turned to look at him, noting the way his hair fell to his face in dark curls, the dark outline of his stubble.His breathing was soft, almost like a caress against my skin.I remained like that staring at him for a few seconds before I leaned in and planted a kiss on his forehead. Ryker groaned and turned around taking a part of the bed sheet with him, the contours of his butt exposed to me.The memory of our intimacy came back to me afresh and I felt my body start to respond. It was funny that just remembering his touch was enough to spark within me a fresh wave of desire.I rolled out of bed and got to my feet draping a towel I usually kept close to my bed around my naked body and w
Ava."Have you been fucked bound to a rope before" Ryker whispered hungrily into my ears.I could feel the lust oozing from his words, the way his body trembled as he fought for self control and the way he was slowly losing the battle."I haven't, " I mummered almost hungrily keeping myself in position refusing to move any inch of my body lest I awaken desires so deep within it.Ryker was pressed against me, the contours of his body pressing up against every inch of mine. I could feel his erection that was straining against his pants press against my midsection, his hands that were wrapped around the small of my back ensured that I was lodged firmly against him."Then consider this a new experience" he whispered, stopping just short of my neck to place a gentle kiss there as my body awakened to his touch, every single cell in my being alert.Ryker scooped me into his arms as easily as one would lift a baby and turned towards the bed. He dropped me gently as soon as he reached it and w
