Lucian was at his company when he received a call from Kayla saying ava was nowhere to be found. He almost went crazy as he dial Ava’s number.Ava's trembling voice came through the phone, "Lucian."The words hit Lucian like a punch to the gut, a mix of relief and anger swirling within him. "Where the fuck are you, Ava?" he demanded anxiously."At... my second house in Rue de Rivoli," she responded, her voice filled with fear.Before Lucian could process her answer, a loud bang echoed through the phone, causing him to leap out of his seat. Without a second thought, he sprinted outside towards his car, urgency propelling him forward."Why the fuck did you not take Kayla? Do not pass the front door! Get out of the house now! I'm on my way!" Lucian exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of fear and determination, his mind racing with worry for Ava's safety.He dialed Ava's number again, desperation evident in his voice. "Do not hang up on me, do not hang up on me, Ava!" he pleaded, his t
“Get out!”. He ordered.Taking a deep breath, Ava mustered all the strength within her and turned on her heels. She held her head high, refusing to let him see the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes.As she reached the door, Ava paused for a moment, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She looked back, her gaze piercing through him.“Drake, get ready I need to go to the back!”. Lucain said through his mindlink*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•**AT THE PACK“Alpha, I told you about the consequences before erasing her memories! I told you that anything can trigger her curiosity and when she gets suspicious the effects of the magic will make her want to know the truth at all cost!”. Vanessa explained.“Is there anything to be done?”. Lucain asked. “No alpha!”.“Thank you for your time!, you may leave now!”. Lucian ordered. Vanessa bowed before disappearing.“Lucian!”. A voice called, walking into the room.Lucian stood up in respect, bowing slightly.“Father!”. He whispered.“
Lucian was just coming out of the bathroom when he found Ava already awake on the bed, their eyes met as they stared at each other for some time before he looked away.He walked towards his drawal, pulling out a box from it, Ava’s eyes following his every move, now she was regretting not listening to him.She had waited for him for the whole night, falling asleep without knowing. She slowly stood up from the bed, hugging Lucian from behind, her soft and smooth body pressed against his.“I’m sorry!”. She whispered, as he turned around, she hugged him even tightly.“I was wrong! I should have taken Kayla with me and not made you worried like that!.” She said, raising her head as she stared at his gorgeous blackish green eyes. “Say something please!”. She whispered in a low voice.“I’m not mad at you love, and I’m sorry I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that!”. He whispered, kissing her forehead. Ava shakes her head, “No, it was my fault.” She tiptoed a little, locking her lips on
“Love, I will send you some clothes later, get ready before 10pm. I will come pick you up!”.Lucian said, cleaning her body even though he was upset with Oliver.He pecked her one last time before moving to get dressed. “I will see you at 10!”. He whispered, locking her lips with his.Ava nodded tiredly. “Son of a butch how dare you push me to the back!”. Lucian growled at Oliver.“You should be happy I didn’t touch her. I was planning on destroying her legs for weeks. That way you won’t be able to touch and you will finally understand how I felt all this while!.” Oliver responded proudly.“That still doesn’t give you the right to force me out of my own body. You could have asked nicely!.”“As if you allow me the last time I ask”. Oliver scoffed.“I did allow you ok? It was… it was just for twenty minutes!”. Lucian murmur.“And you expect me to be satisfied in twenty minutes while you spend hours with her? How ridiculous!”. “You also get pleasure when I touch her right?”. “There’s
“So what should I call you now? Lucian or oliver?”. Ava asked, smirking. “Lucian!”. He responded, kissing her exposed neck, raising her up a little as he grabbed her ass giving it a quick squeeze.“So fucking soft!”. He groaned, squeezing it more.“Lucian!”. She called, pulling his hands away as she tried to pull her gown down.“Keep your hands to yourself!”. “How can I? You are looking so sexy for a hot, mind blowing sex!”. He said, resuming his attack on her neck again.“Lucian, we are going for a party!”. Ava whispered, trying not to moan as she pushed him away slightly, but he stubbornly continued doing it.“Should we go back home?”. He whispered, his voice sounding so husky, sucking on her neck.“Even if we do, you ain’t touching me!”. “Can I just eat you out here?”.“No! Are you insane!?”. She almost screamed.“Please!”. He begged, pinching her hands down as his other hand trails over her thigh.“No, lucian! Were you not satisfied this morning! What are you? A horse?”. She sa
“Derek??”. Ava murmured surprisedly.“Yes love, Derek, he hosts this event every year. You don’t know? I thought you guys were really close”. Lucian said, tormenting her.“Let go sit and watch your loving gentle Derek hosting!”. He smirks, leading her to a private second.The dim light made it difficult for others to see them but they could see others clearly. Ava was still in shock as she stared at derek.“You are staring too much love, I am starting to get very jealous!”. Lucian groans, pulling her into his lap.“Lucian, Derek is.. Derek is!”. She stuttered.“Yes love, Derek is in the mafia too”. Lucian saud, patting her back.“We are rivals”. He continued.“We have been in this business for over ten years Ava, I hope you understand what kind of person he is now!”.Ava was too shocked to respond, she kept staring at Derek as he puffed smoke from his mouth, while some strippers were dancing on him. Derek hates the mafia a lot, he alway told her how he wishes he could end all illegal
“He … he is your step brother”. Ava gasped in shock. “Yes, he is my fathers son!”. Lucian responded,unlocking the car for her. “I already sent the driver home, I’m driving now!”. He added. She was not even paying attention to what he was saying, but in shock of Derek being his step brother.“How could you never mention him?”. Ava said, staring at him in shock.Everything was starting to make sense, the day Kayla said Derek wasn’t welcome and pretended she didn't know who he was. “I did not think it was necessary love!”. Lucian responded, starting the car.“I have no idea you can paint, design nor do I know you had a step brother!”. Ava exclaimed, raising her hands up in the air in frustration.“Do I even know anything about you?”. She murmured guiltily.Lucian smirk. “You know how to handle me!”. He smiled, placing a hand on her thigh. Ava frowns.Lucian was about to move his hand further up to her mid thigh when his phone rang.“What?”. He yelled into the phone.“Shit!”. He curs
“Your mother was the reason I left you, she was the only one who helped me escape that night!”. Ava exclaimed.Lucian just kept staring at her in shock. Finding it difficult to believe what she was saying.His mother loved Ava too much to think of doing something so cruel.“And I never went to your mothers place that night! She was at the gate waiting for me with a cab!”. She added.“I was forced to live in Paris, even though Paris is my dream country I was forced to live like an outcast there, maltreated and unwanted. I was pregnant with Nathan at that time.” She cried.“Ava.. Ava that.. is not possible. My mother.. she won’t do that!”. Lucian stuttered.“Even I thought she would not but no! And I have no idea why she did that!”. She whispered.“Calm down, love. Let's leave that”. Lucian whispered, pulling her closer.“Let's sleep now!”. He whispered, kissing her forehead.*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•Lucian woke up to an empty bed the next day, rubbing his eyes as he stood u
**TWO WEEKS LATER**“Ava, you’re gonna be late to your wedding!!”. Kayla screamed.“The wedding started an hour ago, and you’re not even dressed yet!”. Her mother screamed too.Lucian had brought back her parents two days after he proposed to her, apologising to them for her he had done."But I'm not ready!" Ava protested, panicking. "I need more time!""There is no more time," Kayla said, trying to stay calm. "We need to get you dressed and out the door right now."“How long will you keep the poor man waiting?”. Her mother asked.“We are almost done!”. Sophia said, curly the last of Ava’s hair.“Ain’t you going to the wedding?”. Kayla asked Sophia.“Why won’t i? Of course I’m going!”. “And you ain’t dressed yet?”. Kayla gasped, helping Ava with her dress.“I’m not the bride, it’s fine if I get there late!”. “Oh that’s nice, at least I will be the only one to catch the flower!”. “Like you wanna get married any time soon!”. Ava chuckled.Sophia laughed and rolled her eyes. "I'm in no
Ethan shook his head, still chuckling. "Look, man, Ava loves you. She's not going to say no. Just take a deep breath, gather your courage, and ask her. You've got this.""Okay, okay," he said, waving his hands in surrender. "I'm being ridiculous. But it's a big moment for me, and I want everything to go perfectly.""Of course you do," Ethan said, his smile softening. "But remember, the most important thing is your love for each other. All the other stuff - the flowers, the fancy restaurant, the perfect proposal - that's all just icing on the cake.""I know," Lucian said, taking another deep breath. "Thank you!”. “She’s here!”. Enzo announced as the light immediately went off.Lucian's heart leapt into his throat as the reality of the moment hit him. In just a few minutes, he would be asking Ava to spend the rest of her life with him. "We will leave you to it," Ethan said, giving Lucian a final smile. "Just be yourself and everything will be fine."Lucian nodded, his mouth suddenly
**A WEEK LATER**Sophia, Kayla, and Ava were gathered in Ava's bedroom, surrounded by a sea of clothes and accessories. Ava was getting ready for her date with Lucian, and the girls were determined to make sure she looked absolutely stunning."Okay, what about this one?" Sophia asked again, holding up a beautiful, flowy gown. "What do you think, Ava?". She asked, showing her the eighth dress.Ava examined the dress and nodded in approval. "I love it. It's perfect for tonight."“No, that looks too simple. We need something hot”. Kayla disagrees, searching for something else."You don't want to look too simple,"Sophia said. "We need something that will make Lucian's jaw drop.""What about this one?" Sophia asked, holding up a black, sparkling dress."Oooh, now we're talking," Kayla said, winking at Ava. "That will definitely make an impression.""But is it too much?" Ava asked, feeling a little unsure. "I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. It’s just a date""Oh please," Kayla
"I'm sorry, Kayla," he said, his voice cracking. "I have to do this. But that doesn't mean that I won't miss y’all or I won't always care about you. You are all a part of my heart, and that will never change."“What are you saying?”. Drake chuckled, looking at everyone.“Who said you’re leaving without us?”. Enzo added, smiling as he lock hand with drake.“We are all going with you!”. Kayla said.Lucian's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt a wave of hope wash over him. "Are you serious?" he asked, his voice full of wonder."Of course we're serious," Drake said, a smile spreading across his face. "We're your pack, and we're not going to let you leave without us. You're stuck with us, whether you like it or not."Lucian felt his eyes well up with tears, and he couldn't help but laugh through his tears. "I think I can live with that," he said, his voice choked with emotion."Thank you," he whispered, not sure if he was speaking to Drake or the Goddess or both. "Thank you for everythin
“Chill, I’m just hugging my brother, I’m not stealing him away from you!”.“No, not that!”. He said, his tone serious, causing Lucain to disengage from Enzo and far him.“What’s wrong?”. Lucian asked, turning to face drake.“I c-can’t feel your alpha aura!”. Drake murmured. Lucian's heart skipped a beat as he processed what Drake had said. "What do you mean you can't feel my alpha aura?”. He closed his eyes, trying to sense his own alpha aura, but it was gone. He opened his eyes, and saw the concern on Drake's face. "It's like you're no longer a werewolf," Drake said, his voice filled with worry. "But you're not a human either”. Drake looked at him, worry etched on his face. "I don't know," he said. "You feel...different."“Oliver!”. Lucian called in his head, silencing begging and praying he would get a response.“Please don’t do this to me, I haven’t even made a decision yet. Fucking answer me Oliver!”. He yelled in his mind.Lucian's heart was pounding in his chest as he waite
Lucian stood still, his eyes fixed on the horizon. He didn't know what to say, or how to respond. Part of him wanted to lash out, but he knew that wouldn't help. And not long after, the goddess came back.“Lucian, what do you wish for?”. She asked, her tone firm and commanding.Lucian smirks, taking two steps closer.“I wish to sever all connections with the werewolves," he said, his voice steady and resolute. "But I want to keep my lycan. I want to be free from their influence, and I don't want to lose a part of myself in the process."“What???”. She gasped in surprise.“That is two wishes not one!”. “So? Two wishes is too much for your powers and you can’t fulfil them?”. Lucian asked arrogantly.The goddess raised an eyebrow, looking amused by Lucian's cheeky remark. "Two wishes is not too much for my powers," she said, her tone teasing. "But I am curious why you would make such a request. Why are you so desperate to escape the werewolves? Or you’re just a coward, just a little pa
"I...I don't know," he said, his voice shaking. "I just...I just want to be happy with Ava and the kids. But I don't know what that looks like without Oliver." Lucian murmured“I know it's a difficult decision, Lucian. But I'll support you no matter what you choose. Whether you want to sever our connection or not, I'll always be here for you." Oliver said, trying to hide the pain and fear in his voice.“We don’t have all day Lucian, I will come back again in two hours, make your decision before then, Lucian. And as for you alpha Edward, await your punishment!”. She said, smiling mysteriously.Alpha Edward stiffened, his eyes widening. "Punishment?" he asked, a note of fear in his voice. "What kind of punishment?""You will find out soon enough," the moon goddess said, her tone enigmatic. "I will return in two hours, so prepare yourself." With that, she vanished into thin air, leaving Lucian and Alpha Edward alone in the dark.Lucian turned to Alpha Edward, his expression solemn. "Wha
**AT THE PACK**“Oh no!”. Vanessa murmured fearfully.“What's wrong?”. They all asked at once.“Alpha Edward did not take the portion!”. She gasped, showing them the vail.“That is not possible I gave them to him myself!”. Enzo murmured, staring at the portion in Vanessa's hand.“Fuck!”. She murmured frustratedly, running her hands through her hair.“This is bad!”. She added.“What’s gonna happen now?”. Enzo murmured."This is bad," Enzo said, his brow furrowed in concern. "If Alpha Edward doesn't take the portion, he could die."“I don't know,” Vanessa said, her voice trembling. “I can't believe this is happening,” Vanessa said, shaking her head in disbelief. “Why would he not take the portion?”.“Probably felt too guilty and proud to take it!”. Kayla said, rolling her eyes.“There’s only three hours left before midnight!”. Vanessa murmured.“Vanessa, will he be fine?”. Enzo murmured, fear written all over his face.“That only depends on your goddess!”.*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*
“My whole life has just been based on lies.. lies. Everyone I loved had lied to me. I never did anything wrong!”. “I will never forgive you for this!”. I swore.His eyes widened in shock, “no please. You need to let go of your anger or else you will never get out of here!”. “I’m sorry, I know what I did was wrong and I am not asking you to forgive me but……. F-for the sake of the love and respect you have for me!”. I rush towards him, grabbing him by the collar.“I have no love or respect for you, Edward!. You do not deserve any of my respect love. You do not deserve to be my father!”. I yelled angrily. “For 24 years, I have been hating on people that I was not supposed to. I had deprived Ava of the love of her parents, thinking they were the cause of my problem, and you dare speak of love and respect?”. Edward's eyes widened in shock as I continued to speak, my voice shaking with anger and hurt."I have spent years blaming others for my own mistakes, for the sin you committed. I
