“I really want to believe that but she.. she knows I can free myself if I wanted to. So helping him means she is still in love with him. I’d rather be here than watch her follow him around like a lost child."“Wow you really do love her a lot!”. “Technically everyone sees that but only she does not!”. “Hey, did you just say you can free yourself if you wanted to?”. Lucas yelled.“Can you stop yelling? Because I know how to, does not mean I will help you!”. Etha scoffed.“What do you mean by that?”. “Remember the attitude you gave me? When I came to Lucian’s office?”. “Ethan!!”. Lucas whispered, raising his voice a little.“That was a long time ago! And more so you were an enemy how would I know you were trying to help!”. “Still did not give you the right to judge me!”. “I am sorry. Is that what you wanna hear?”. Lucas said, rolling his eyes.“If I wanted that, you would have been long gone by now. The only sorry, I accept is taking life!”. Ethan said, confidently.“And you reall
“Yes alpha!”. Drake whispered, pulling Enzo out with him. “Will you be fucking nice? He is our brother”. Lucain yelled in his head.“He is an omega! And stop yelling, you are giving me a headache”. Oliver scoffed.“And so what? He is still our brother and our beta’s mate!”. “Your brother!”. Oliver corrected.“I am fine, I am taking my control back!”. Lucian said, trying to push Oliver back.“Ava is pregnant! Did you know?”. Oliver asked, trying to distract him. “Wow fucking goddess, I knew her scent was different! Oh fuck I can’t believe it!”. He screamed happily.“Yeah! You can talk to her when we get home! Now how do I go about these papers?”. “Hello Lucian!”. Someone said, “Jade, did your foolish father not teach you any manners?”. Oliver said angrily. “A-alpha!”. She stuttered seeing his gold eyes. “Why are you here?”.“I came to talk to you ,” Jade replied, trying to regain her composure. “Why?”. Oliver growls. “I came to warn you about Ava , I saw her…”. “Out!”. Oliver
“I’m hungry!”. Lucas screamed for the tenth time.“Will you just keep quiet?”. Etha yelled frustratedly.“I’m hungry!”. Lucas yelled again.“It is better to die than be stuck here with you!”. Ethan murmured.He walks up to Lucas, unties his hand.“Wait, you were not tied up this whole time?”. Lucas gasped, as he rubbed his hands together.“I was, I’m just smart enough to be able to untie my hands unlike some people here!”. Ethan uttered, rolling his hands.Lucas chuckled.“Now how do we get out?”. Lucas said. “Of where?”. Ethan chuckled, stretching his body. “What do you mean? I thought you changed your mind and want to escape now!”. “I didn’t, because I untied your hands does not mean I was to escape!”. Lucas looked at him, his eyes wide. "You untied my hands for no reason?" he asked, his voice full of disbelief. "I thought you were going to help me get out of here!"“Since when did untying hands mean escaping. Or are you afraid Derek will be fucking Kayla by now?”. Ethan said, a
“You left Lucian to protect your parents, right?”. He smirks, letting out a deep sign.“Shall I tell you a story baby?”. Derek leaned in close, his eyes boring into hers. "A story of love and betrayal," he said, his voice low and seductive. "A story of the lengths people will go to for the ones they care about. A story of darkness and light, of hope and despair. Do you want to hear it?."“I have no interest in whatever you wanna say!”. She scoffed, looking away from me.“I’m sure you will, it involves your parents, baby!”. “Don’t you dare bring my parents into this Lucas!”. She uttered.He laughed.“Incase you haven’t noticed, there is a projector by your side, why don’t I play it and we will both watch how Lucian tortures your parent? Huh? Sounds good right?”. Ava froze, her blood turning to ice in her veins. "What?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. "What did you just say?"Derek's smile was smug and cruel. "I said," he said, his tone low and cold, "that I'm going to show
"That does not mean you are telling the truth!" Ava said, her voice rising in pitch. "You could be trying to get me to believe something that isn't true. You could be trying to frame Lucian. Just because you are friends does not mean you are not capable of lying to me. I know my Lucian would never do such a thing. He loves me"Derek held up his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Fine, you are right. I could be lying," he said. “And Yes, your Lucian loves you very much, that is why he killed your parents to be with you!”. Derek said, yawning lazily.He suddenly pulled her chair closer, whispering against her neck, a mischievous glint in his eyes."But what if I am not lying? Will you come with me then? How about we do this instead?”. He suggested.“I will let you go back to Lucian and question him, if he confesses that he indeed torture your parent, then if you will find out that Lucian isn't as innocent as you believe him to be, you will have to come back to me and be with me forever?
Ava struggled against him, trying to free herself from his hold, even though her hands were still tied to the chair.“Let me go please, you are hurting me, lucas!" Ava cried out, tears streaming down her face.“Stop calling me Lucas!”. He yelled at her, releasing his grip on her hair. Ava looked at him confusedly before scoffing.“You don’t wanna eat? Starve then!”. He murmured angrily before storming out.Ava bursted into tears as she stared at the projector in front of her.“Lucian I really hope this isn’t you, I wouldn’t be able to forgive or myself if you really did this to my parent!”. She whispered. Shortly after, she fell asleep, waking up to someone tapping her, whispering her name continuously.“Ava, get up!”. Ava blinked twice, trying to open her eyes, she slowly opened her eyes to find a figure standing over her.“Sophia?”. She murmured, trying to see her clearly.Realization of what happened earlier suddenly hit her.“Sophia!”. Ava yelled angrily.“How dare you bitch! I
“First this window is too small to even fit a baby and secondly we are in the middle of a thick forest! Are you kidding me? Even if we are able to break out, what if we get eaten by a wild wolf while running?”. “We are actually caught by a wolf!”. Ethan said, making no attempt to help him. Lucas paced back and forth“Can you fight?”. He suddenly asked.“What do you mean?”. Ethan said, looking at him confusedly.“I mean if I break this wall down, and we come across a wolf animal or something! Can you fight it?”. Lucas explained.“Why don’t you try breaking it down first then we can decide later if I can fight or not!”. Ethan uttered, a sly grin on his face.“Are you mocking me?”.“I dare not!”. Ethan said, laughing.Lucas scoffed.*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•“How did.. you!”. Ava suddenly gasped. “You are.. you are not a human!”. “I’d rather you say, I am not Lucas!”. Derek whispered, Lucas' appearance on him slowly fading as his face came into view.“Surprise!”. He
Ava tried to run but he grabbed her, turning her around as her back collided with his chest. He breathed hotly on her, closing his eyes in pleasure.“Please I’m begging you Derek don’t do this to me!”. Ava begged harder, her eyes puffed with tears.“Come on love, I will make you experience the pleasure he never gave you”. He smirks, proceeding to pull off her skirt.“I AM PREGNANT!”. Ava yelled, tears falling freely from her eyes.Derek froze, his hands still on Ava's skirt. He looked at her in shock, his smirk fading from his face."What?" He asked, his voice filled with disbelief."I'm pregnant," Ava repeated, her voice shaking. Ava grabbed her torn clothes, using it to cover her body.“You’re pregnant for him?”. Dere yelled, running his hands Over his hair frustratedly.“I can’t believe this!”. He murmured, staring at her angrily.Ava felt a surge of fear and panic as she watched Derek's reaction. Derek's anger seemed to intensify as he paced back and forth, his fists clenched at
**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
