“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
“Hey Lucian!”. Derek said with a big smile on his face.“Lucas!”. Lucian responded, offering him a handshake.“Any problem? Why’d you call me?”. Derek asked, taking a seat beside him on the couch.Kayla, Derek and Enzo were behind them.“The vipers!”. Lucian said, staring at him.Derek stuttered a little, looking at Lucian if he had suspended anything wrong yet.“W..w.what is wrong with them? I thought they are all dead?”. Derek said, stuttering.“What do you mean all dead? Ethan and Sophia is still here!”. Lucian smirk.“Oh yes!”. Derek laughed nervously. “I know they can not really betray me but I think Derek is still alive!”. Lucian said.Derek smiled in satisfaction.“Oh yeah, Uhmm why did you say so?”. Derek said, composing himself. “Someone is causing trouble for my business. I am Russian, and the vipers are the only ones capable of playing such hide and seek games”. “So you think he is the one doing it? I thought you killed him?”. Derek smirks, resting comfortably.“Yes Luca
“Don’t forget who you are to me Sophia, do not forget Ethan is still in my hands!”. Derek grinned his teeth angrily.“I am your saviour, if it was not me you wouldn't be here today, so talk to me with respect! And don’t you dare try to use Ethan to get me”. Sophia yelled, despair, his hands still painfully gripping her.Derek smirks, letting go of her jaw, taking a step back.“You have become so bold Sophia, impressive, I am very impressive. Already talking back at me? What happened to the obedient Sophia. I used to like that side of you!”. “She’s dead, and guess who killed her? Get one thing straight Derek, I am no longer your slave, nor will I keep obeying you. I have gotten Ava as per your wishes. If you don’t release Ethan within two days. I am telling Lucain everything about you!”.“You won’t dare!”. Derek uttered, his eyes darken with anger.“Try me Derek, as a matter of fact, I am only giving you five hours to get Ethan here, if I do not see him within the next five hours! Tru
“Do not take another step closer!”. Ethan warned.“Make your choice! Now!”. He commanded.“Fine I will leave!”. Derek murmured, raising his hand in the air.“I am begging you not to harm yourself please!”. He begged.“Oh really? Did Sophia asked you to say that?”. Ethan smirk, pressing the knife harder on his wrist.Derek jump a little in panic.“Do not harm yourself Ethan!”. He command.“You were never my boss to begin with derek, you do not get to boss me around, I am not Sophia!”. “Leave now!”. Ethan yelled, angrily.“Please Bring some food when you are coming back!”. Lucas teased.Derek stared at him angrily, before storming out.“They are ruining my plan, They are fucking ruining my plan!”. Derek yelled.“Fuck!”. He yelled again, running his hands through his hair as he gripped it hard, trying to stay calm.“What do I do? I need Sophia under my control!. She would not listen unless I get Ethan to her and that bastard is threathing me too”. Derek yelled, kicking the air angrily.
“Yes I might be with no wolf but I am not foolish and I know what I am saying, since you are going to Russia to confirm if the vipers are still remaining and Sophia was once part of the viper she literally knows more about than you two, and you are posing as Lucas so you can try to convince him into taking Sophia!”. Jade blunted out. Derek looked at her and smiled.“You ain’t as foolish as I thought, you might be right!”. Derek murmured.Jade smiled.“You can leave now, I will think of what next to do!”. Derek said, stopping.“Keep me updated, and do not hurt my Lucian!”. Jade warn, as she continue to walk out of there.“But wait.”. Derek asked after her, walking up to her as he stood in front of her.“Come to think of it! How did you know I was here? And how did you know of this place?”. He asked, staring into her eyes.Jade hesitated for a moment, thinking of what to say."I have my ways of finding things out," she said cryptically.Derek raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied wit
“Enzo calls Lucas down for breakfast, tells him Ava made some breakfast!”. Lucian orders, settling on the dining table.“I will call him!”. Drake quickly responded.“Why? I sent Enzo!”. Lucian said, raising an eyebrow.“I do not want my mate going to that bastard!, or anywhere near him”. Drake growls angrily.“That does not give you the right to stop him from going, Enzo now!”. Lucian uttered.“Yes alpha!”. Enzo whispered, before leaving.“You are really starting to get on my nerves, Drake, at the end of the day Enzo is also my brother”. Lucian warned.“I am sorry!”. Drake murmured “Nah, it is fine. I am just letting you know, he is my brother and I would not do anything that will hurt him, I met him before you did. So do not ever think I will hurt my brother!”. Lucian uttered.“Yes!”. Drake responded, bowing a little.“Hey Lucian! Hi drake!”. Derek called, walking towards them with a big smile, Enzo behind him.“Wow Sophia knows how to make pancakes?”. He murmured, staring at the ta
“Alright we will take Sophia with us”. Lucain smiled.“But on a second thought Lucian”. Derek begins.“Do you really think it's a good idea to involve Sophia in this? She has been through enough already. I mean Derek kind of betrayed her, so do you think it’s right for us to take her there and let her think of the pain all over again?”. Derek suggested.“Stay one place Derek, that's how your plan keeps failing”. Lucian smirks, mocking him.“What do you mean my plan keeps fail…”. Derek raised his eyebrows.“What.. What did you call me?”. He whispered.“Derek, delta Derek!”. Lucian mocked.Derek looked at him in shock, wondering how he realised.“What?”. He stuttered.Lucian laughed, his laughter slowly died down as his face turned cold.“You really think I don’t know it was you all along? When next you wanna pretend to be someone, learn about them first, Lucas does not like pancakes nor does he stay in the guest room. Even if you get those things right, what about his scent? You are re
**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
