Ava."Is it true?" I turned to Takeshi, "Will feeding him with my blood fasten his recovery?""I think we could try that too. There's a high chance it'll do him a lot of good but I can't assure you anything. I haven't seen him in this state ever, taking his identity as a special being."Too much information there. "Okay. Okay." I wasn't interested in their history together,"Let's get to action then."The longer we delayed, the more dangerous the situation got."What? What? No, there's no way I'll let you lose any blood in your state, Ava. Nothing can happen to you too." Zenobia blurted, grabbing the razor Takeshi was supposed to hand over to me.I frowned, "Zenobia, I'll be fine."Nobby shook her head, her expression as fierce and determined, "That was what you said when I let you leave earlier. I won't forgive myself if I let you put yourself to risk just because you feel responsible. "She was right. I was most especially responsible for all of this and I wasn't retreating when it
Ava."Do you dare to?" Six pairs of eyes had turned towards the entrance, stunned by that voice."Darwin!" I had sprung forward and writhed free from Olivia's now weak grip, taking that she was distracted."Darwin! Darwin...!" I had jumped into his arms, only to be shocked with the sound of a gunshot.For one, I found it difficult to believe I hadn't been shot. It was a task convincing myself that I wasn't already dead but still very alive and unharmed.Darwin's kiss reassured me of the fact and I blinked my lids as I slowly turned to see what had transpired within the past seconds. "You fucking betrayer!" Olivia cursed, her eyes turning bright red with fury. The bullet had narrowly missed her and gone through the wall behind her, causing a few blocks to break. "Sick woman!" Zayn spat and tossed the gun away. And he had transformed with a growl. Zayn's wolf was a red hairy one that I had always found admirable and different amongst others but in such a situation, I was convinced t
Ava."I think this one is more conservative and fits me more, Tessa." I smiled as I caressed the diamond stone that complimented the thin necklace around my neck. It was more enviable in comparison to the gold chain, yet very simple. "Yes, yes. Everything fits you, my queen. That's because you're so beautiful!" We laughed. She had always had a sugar coated tongue, although she could be very plain and quite naive, that made her my favorite amongst the others. She had originally been introduced into the royal household as the new nanny sometime back but once I got to know her true self, I decided she was worthy enough to be the housekeeper. I sighed and stood up and swirled around to face the full-length mirror. The reflection that stared back at me was very satisfying.The blue ball gown was a good choice, indeed."I like it." I said to no one in particular.Perhaps, I could wear more of this color in the future."You're very gorgeous, my queen. No maiden or lady could compare to
Ava."Where is the celebrant?" Adele asked, handpicking desserts for herself. She was the last person to arrive, it wasn't so surprising. "He had something urgent to attend to." I told her, wiping my mouth. Mea had been crying ceaselessly in her grandmother's arms and it was pitiful enough to watch the both. Zenobia had made a lot of effort to try to calm the little princess but it wasn't working. "Here, let me have her." I stretched my arms forward and collected her from her."The little tigress doesn't like me at all. It's such a pity, her elder sister and I were inseparable when she was little." Zenobia managed to express her pride and sufferings in those two sentences. I laughed and kissed my baby, giving her no reply about her remarks. Mea had immediately quietened down once she was in my arms. "See, she is in love with her mother." Zenobia continued to express her bitterness over the issue. You would've thought it was something so important. "Your first daughter is just li
Ava."Ava, the alpha wants to see you. Your husband is waiting." Father announced at the entrance of Marilyn's workshop, refusing to come in.I watched the reflection of his 'always well presented' self through the full mirror. There had always been a tie and a suit all my life, but there was never a smile for me. Even when I am getting sold off to a mysterious alpha. "Darling, come here." Marilyn dropped the lipstick she held and approached him. Seeing her leave, I sighed and reclined on the couch to enjoy my peace away from them_ their efforts to make me leave their lives so quickly and their rudeness. It's likely they've had enough from me all these years and can't bear to put up with me anymore, especially Celia."Ava wouldn't wear the gown. She wants to show up in her rags and filth. We can't have her do that or the suitor will lose interest in her." Marilyn said to father, grabbing his hand in the same way she'd do everytime she desperately needed him to do something and wante
Ava."You will be his queen. I know you hate where you are but I promise you, you'll love it there. Alpha Darwin is young, rich and powerful so you have nothing to worry about." Edward said. Well, he was wrong. I had everything to worry about. Why did an alpha of a bigger pack come all the way to Oakley Backwoods to get married to someone who... wasn't his mate?I am just seventeen, a few days to go before turning eighteen so until then, I should probably assume I haven't been gifted a mate. And being wolfless, it was best to assume I was cursed to die alone. But I had grown faster than my age and done awful things that made people assume I was much more than that. I kept mute and did not say anything regarding the matter but waited for him to make his conclusion. Edward sat on his throne and turned to me. "He'll send his people to perform the marriage oath tomorrow and pick you up. "Perhaps, I should pack my things and run away tomorrow? "Son, did you tell her already?" Luna Al
Ava."I'm sorry, Alpha." Father had run over before I could think of how to reply to him and immediately stepped in between him and I, slightly pushing me aside. Interested, I narrowed my eyes and moved back to leave even more space for him. Several times, I'd see dad panic over issues involving Celia but had never cared to raise a finger when it came to me so all those years, I sought to make bad things happen to Celia just for the fun of watching him panic. If Celia fell and bruised her kneecap, she had to go to the local hospital, get admitted to a VIP ward and would not leave until her scar was completely gone. But that wasn't the case when I had caught a serious cold or when Marilyn once thought I would die... or when I had to spend two weeks in the hospital. I was alone and never had his care for once. "Ava is impatient and tends to say silly things at times but she's really sweet. She'll make a good wife, I promise you, Alpha. She's efficient with the laundry and cooks very w
Ava.Alpha Darwin grasped my legs and yanked me closer so that I half laid down on the sofa, the side window supporting my head. I bit my bottom lip as I watched him strandle my legs across his neck. He leant down, biting softly on my chin and I gulped down, unable to resist."You're so tight." He said, taking his finger out before a session even began and I sighed. It has always been that way_ with Jared, Zayn and the rest of them. How surprising it was that the only girl rebel was still a virgin and no one dared to do anything with me the moment I tell them I'd never done it. Alpha Darwin kissed my lips and moved back, resuming his former posture. "We've arrived at YellBloodOwl." He told me, doing so well to get rid of my embarrassment in the moment and I sat up immediately. I arranged my dress, eager to see the view but alas, the windows were rolled up and tinted. Not very clear. I turned to face him, hopefully wishing that he'll grant me this first wish of mine, "Can I see the
