“Hey Guys, how’s Lucain? Any improvement?”. Sophia asked, immediately she sighted them.Drake signed.“He is awake!”.“Wow that great news”. She giggled.“And he is asking about Ava!”. He added.“Oh that's bad!”. “I know where she is!”. Ethan said, stepping into the living room with an apple with him.“Where?”. Enzo asked eagerly.“Tell me where she is, I will find her myself!”. Lucian said, walking toward them.They all rush to his side worriedly.“Lucian you ain’t supposed to get out of the…”. “Make sure you don’t touch me!”. He orders coldly, turning towards Ethan.“Will you speak or should I make you speak?”.Ethan was about to speak when the landline ring.“That must be Nathan!”. Kayla gasped, rushing towards it, picking it up immediately.“Hello? Nathan, is that you?" Kayla answered the phone.The others gathered around, waiting anxiously to hear what Nathan had to say.“No, it’s me Ava!”. She responded from the other side.Lucian gasped weakly, murmuring her name.“Ava!”. Ka
“Ethan get the car ready, you're taking me to her!”.“Lucain Lucain, I think you should calm down first, you just got back, you should not stress yourself like this. Just calm down and think this through!”. Kayla begged, standing in front of him.“Move!”. He ordered.Enzo and Drake shivered at his tone, no one dared make a move.Kayla slowly backed away from him."Lucian, please listen to me," Enzo said, stepping forward. "I know you're upset, and you have every right to be. But you need to be careful about how you handle this. You don't want to make things worse. Please, just take a deep breath and try to calm down."Lucian's chest was heaving as he struggled to control his anger. The room was silent, everyone holding their breath, afraid to make a sound. Finally, Lucian seemed to regain some control of himself. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes."If any one of you gets in my way again….”. Lucian trailed off.Enzo held up his hands, his voice shaking. "No one is going to get in
“I am begging you now Ava, do not make me upset. If I get angry even if you are burning I would not look at you twice!”. He warned.“Now where is my son!?”. “You do not have a son here Lucian!”. Ava gritted, saying the word one after the other. Lucian's eyes narrowed as he took a step closer to Ava, his anger simmering just below the surface. "Don't play games with me, Ava. I know he's here. I can feel his presence."Ava stood her ground, her own anger rising to meet his. "I told you, he's not here. And even if he was, I wouldn't let you near him. You've caused enough pain already."Lucian's hands balled into fists at his sides, his breath coming in short, harsh gasps. He looked at Ava, his eyes dark with fury. "If you don’t want to be with me, that is perfectly fine. But You have no right to keep my son from me. I am his father, and he is my son. I will do whatever it takes to be with him.""Even if it means hurting me?" Ava asked, her voice trembling. "Even if it means destroying
“Why can’t you just leave?”. She whispered.“You are my soul mate. I just can’t leave!”. He murmured.“Stay away from me!”. She yelled, backing away from him.“Ava be careful!”. “Lucian…. Ahhh!”. She screamed as she felt a pain spread through her abdomen.Lucian rushed to her side, panic in his eyes. "Ava, what's happening? Are you okay?"Ava clutched her stomach, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know, it hurts so much."Lucian frantically looked around, trying to figure out what to do. "I'll call for help, just hold on, Ava."As he reached for his phone, Ava's hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. "No, no, don't leave me. Please, stay with me."Lucian nodded, staying by her side and trying to comfort her as best as he could. "I'm here, Ava. I won't leave you."“Ethan!”. Lucian yelled.“Get the fuck in here!”. He screamed.Ethan rushed into the room, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of Ava in pain. "What happened? Is she okay?""I don't know, she's in so much pain," Luci
After Ava was discharged, she was taken to Lucian’s place in her unconscious state. They all refused to leave her side as they kept staring at her like a predator.Enzo has a smile on his face, as he watches her dreamily.“She is carrying a girl!” He whispered, holding Drake's hand.Drake looked at Enzo in surprise, “How do you know?”.“He is an omega, what do you expect?”. Kayla responds.Enzo just grinned and pointed to Ava’s stomach, “I can just tell. I have a sixth sense about these things.”Lucian rolled his eyes, “You and your sixth sense. Let’s just focus on making sure Ava wakes up and is okay.”“She is gonna be fine, relax alpha! There is no need to get all worked up!”, Kayla teased.“Why ain’t she waking up yet?”. Lucian asked worriedly.“You just brought her from the hospital, they must have given her some drugs or medicine to make her sleep and feel better. She will surely be awake in a few hours!”. Sophia chipped in.“I know and why are you all in my room? I am her mate
Hours passed, and finally, Ava began to stir. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she looked around the room, confused. "Where am I?". She whispered.She groaned and rubbed her eyes, looking around at the concerned faces of her pack. "What happened? Why am I here?" she asked, her voice groggy from sleep.Lucian took her hand in his, relief floodingthrough him. "You were in the hospital, but now you're here with us. You're fine now, love."“Lucian!”. Her eyes widened open in panic.“My baby?”. She gasped in fear.Lucian smiled and nodded. "Our baby is fine, Ava, there is no need to be worried!”.Ava let out a sigh of relief and leaned back against the pillows. Age suddenly raised her head back staring at the others in the room in surprise.“Hey there sister in law!”. Enzo smiled, moving to her side.“Why am I here? Lucian?”. She asked, sitting up angrily.“Relax Ava, the doctor said you should not stress yourself!”. Lucian said, trying to make her sit back.“If he said that then why did
Drake grinned. "Opposites attract, right? Plus, I think we balance each other out. You keep me grounded, and I push you out of your comfort zone sometimes."Lucian nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks for being a good friend, and a great beta, Drake. I could never ask for any other beta than you!”.“And I’m sorry man, if by any chance my life or behaviour ever made you feel somehow!”. Lucian whispered.“Are you about to die?”. Drake whispered, staring at him suspiciously.Lucian let out a laugh, shaking his head. "No, not that I know of," he said, a wry smile on his face. "I just mean that I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life, and you've been there for me through all of it. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it, and that I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like you had to walk on eggshells around me.""It's all good, man," Drake said, giving Lucian a quick, one-armed hug. "We're friends, and you are my alpha and I am your beta
Ava stood in a corner of the stair, staring at them blankly, with absolutely no emotions or feeling in her eyes.“How can you laugh so freely Lucian?”. She murmured to herself.She walked towards them.“My clothes are still at my place, I would like to go get them!”. She murmured coldly.Lucian stared at her, signing as he puffed out another smoke.“Kayla would go get them, my men would be kicking up Nathan when he’s done with class so you don’t have to worry!”. He responded.“They are my clothes, I don’t need Kayla to get them for me, I can go by myself!”.Lucian raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.“Then let’s go”. Lucian muttered, standing up.“Why?”. Ava almost yelled.“I mean I can go alone, why must you follow me?”. Lucian took a step closer to her, his eyes narrowing.“Because I don’t trust you to go alone. You’re still a liability, Ava. And until I know for sure that you won’t try to run or do something stupid, you’re not going anywhere without me or my men by your
**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
