*AT LUCIANO RUSSO MANSION*Lucian and Ava walked into the house hands in hands, smiling as they stared at each other.“Oh goodness, look who we have here!”. Enzo screamed happily, rushing towards them.“It’s good to have you back, sister-in-law!”. He smirks.“Someone is finally in her senses!”. Kayla smirks, folding her hand over her chest.“Welcome back Ava!” “I was just here yesterday, why are y’all saying welcome back!”. Ava murmured, bowing her head.“You were here but not exactly here, I mean you were so cold and distant!”. Enzo responded.“I’m sorry about that!”. She whispered.“Nah, it’s fine.We all know what’s going on with you, it’s obvious you were in a feud with my brother and I knew this will end today because I saw the way you both were looking at each other, especially when you just came in.” Enzo teased.“Don’t even start, Enzo.” Lucian warned.“We will be in our room!”. He added, wrapping his arm around Ava’s waist as they walked away.“Take it easy, she’s pregnant
Kayla was on a video call with Lucas, whining and telling him how much she misses him.“When will you be here? Lucian, Drake and Enzo, they are all taunting me for being the single one here!”. She whined like a child.Lucas laughed.“So you only missed me because of that, how bad of you baby!”. He frowned.“No!”. “So tell me, did you miss me? My little warrior princess?”. He teased her.Kayla bites her lips shyly, blushing hard.“I miss you Lucas!”. She murmured.Lucas smiled, feeling a warmth in his chest at her words."I miss you too, Kayla. I'll be there soon, I promise. Just hold on a little longer," he reassured her.Kayla nodded, feeling a sense of comfort in his words."I can't wait to see you, Lucas. I feel so lost without you here," she admitted.“Oh my goodness, Kayla. You just give me goosebumps. Talk to me like this when I’m back, ok?”. He teased her.Kayla giggled, feeling herself blush at his words. "I'll make sure to do that," she said."I want to hear your voice every
“If it’s about your parents, of course they will be there. I can’t deprive them of the right to their only daughter's wedding!”. Lucian smiled, kissing her.“It’s not about that!”. She murmured.Lucian stared at her worriedly, cupping her face.“I promise you Ava, there will be no problem on that day, we have not even decided on the day yet so relax love!”. He teased her.“Will you leave the mafia for me?”. Ava's question hung in the air, the weight of it palpable. Lucian's smile faded as he looked at her, his expression serious."Ava, you know I can't just walk away from the life I've built. It's not that simple," he said, his voice tinged with regret."But I can promise you this - I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and to make sure that our future is secure. I will always put you first, no matter what," he vowed, his eyes searching hers for understanding.“Lucian…”.“Love, it’s not that easy to leave the mafia! Not when I’m the don!”. He started.“Getting into the ma
“1”. Lucian began counting.“2”. “Why are you counting!?”.“Shh, don’t ruin it!”. Lucian smirk.“3”. He laughed, sipping his drink.“4”.“5”“How dare you Lucas!”. Kayla screamed out loud.“There! I warned him”. Lucian laughed.Lucas stood frozen in the doorway, a sheepish grin on his face as Kayla glared at him with her hands on her hips.“I told you she hates surprises,” Lucian said, trying to stifle his laughter.“Surprise!” Lucas said, trying to recover from the awkward situation.Kayla rolled her eyes and shook her head, but a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.“Well, I guess it’s a good thing I love you,” she said, walking over to give Lucas a hug.Lucas breathed a sigh of relief as he hugged her back, grateful that his surprise hadn’t completely backfired.“Next time, just give me a heads up,” Kayla said with a playful glint in her eye.“Noted,” Lucas said with a chuckle, happy to see that his surprise had ultimately been a success.“I got you something!”. Lucas wh
“Is the baby making you do this?”. Lucian murmured against her lips.“I don’t know, I’m just so needy right now!”. She moaned.He lifted her up and carried her to the bed, his hands roaming over her body as he kissed her deeply. She moaned in response, her body arching towards his touch.“Ava, you need to relax, you are too tense!”. Lucian said, breathing heavily as he stared at her.Ava whined in pain, pulling him closer to herself.“Love, are you ok?”. “Just take me already, I need you inside. It’s hurting so much!”. She cried.“Where?”. He asked worriedly.Her cries went higher as she pulled him down.“Ava talk to me, where are you hurt?”. “Down here!”. She whispered, touching her clit.“Fuck me already!”. She yelled.Lucian quickly undressed and positioned himself between her legs, his movements gentle and careful as he entered her. Ava gasped and clung to him, her nails digging into his back as he moved slowly, trying to ease her discomfort.As they moved together, their bodies
“She’s in the early stages of pregnancy, but there’s something off about it. Her body is producing pheromones similar to that of an omega, but she’s not one of us. It’s as if her body is trying to reject the pregnancy.”, the doctor explained."So what's going to happen?" Kayla asked."Alpha!" Vanessa called."She has to terminate the pregnancy," she said to Lucian.“How dare you say such a thing!”. Lucian roar.“Alpha, the baby will kill her!”. The doctor yelled.“She’s a human, she is not supposed to be releasing pheromones. Those pheromones are coming from her baby. Which isn’t right. Her baby is 'dhampir'”. Vanessa explained.“What else is her baby supposed to be? Lucian is a werewolf and she’s human, of course their baby will be a 'dhampir'”. Enzo scoffed.“He’s a lycan, not just an ordinary lycan. He is an alpha lycan!”. kayla said, raising her voiceVanessa shook her head. "It's not that simple. Dhampirs are rare and dangerous. They have the strength of a lycan and the thirst for
“You want to kill my baby, I won't allow that!”. She murmured slowly as she lost consciousness.“Fuck! Vanessa!”. He yelled. Vanessa walked in and signed.“Alpha, if she loses consciousness one more time I can’t guarantee you she will regain it!”.“And that was just her baby messing up her brain, she won’t be able to think straight”. Vanessa explained.Lucian clenched his fists in frustration, feeling helpless as he watched his mate struggle. He knew he had to make a decision quickly. “Do whatever it takes to save her and the baby,” he commanded, his voice filled with desperation.“Alpha, her baby…..”. Vanessa wanted to speak but she was cut short.“Please!”. He begged.An alpha is never allowed to beg a witch, but he was willingly to fall at her feet just to save his mate.“Ava will hate me forever if anything happens to her baby, please Vanessa I know you can help both of them, if not for my sake but for the sake of being a mother, you know how it feels to lose one’s child, Vaness
“And the only way to get there is through the forbidden grove, a portal filled with magic and danger, only the bravest can get out of it, without being trapped by the illusion! And even if you manage to get out of it alive, you might not come back alive”. She warn, and stopped circling around her.Facing her, “so little witch, do you dare to go?”.“Open the portal!”. Sophia responded confidently, taking the map from her.“Once you find it, the portal will open again!”. Vanessa said.She cackled with delight and began chanting ancient words, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Suddenly, a swirling vortex of energy appeared before them, crackling with power and mystery.Without hesitation, Sophia stepped forward and plunged into the portal, just as the portal was about to close behind her Ethan jumped out of nowhere, going into the portal as it closed behind him.“Ethan?”. She called surprisingly, wondering how he got in.Ethan grabbed her by the arm, staring at her angrily
**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
