Ava's words caught in her throat as his lips met hers, her heart raced as Lucian's lips met hers, sending a surge of pleasure through her body. In that moment, all her anger and frustration melted away, replaced by an overwhelming desire for him. She found herself lost in the intensity of their kiss, her mind consumed by the intoxicating taste of his lips."Lucian!" she called softly, pulling away to look at him, her eyes searching his face for any sign of remorse or anger.Her hands gently caressed his face as he melted into her touch. Ava smiled, relieved to see her Lucian. Lucian's eyes held a warmth that she had missed, a love that had always been there but buried deep in his heart.“My love!”. He responded as He gently removed her hands from his face, pressing soft kisses on her fingertips before trailing them down her neck. The sensation sent shivers down Ava's spine, causing her to let out a soft moan of pleasure."Please, let me see Nathan." she begged.Lucian continued to k
After finishing the task of feeding her, he gently untied the towel wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate figure. He handed her a soft shirt and a pair of comfortable shorts to wear. As she took her first steps into the clothing, her movements were slightly clumsy, causing him to let out a warm chuckle. Caught off guard by his amusement, Ava turned to him with a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. Her eyes narrowed as she confronted him, her voice laced with irritation. "You think it's funny?" she snapped.Lucian quickly tried to suppress his laughter, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "No, no." he reassured her.Ava muttered under her breath, her words barely audible. "Beast." Not willing to let her anger linger, Lucian approached her with a mischievous smile, sweeping her off her feet and cradling her in his arms like a bride. "Since I was the one who caused this, it's only fair that I take responsibility." he declared, his voice filled with affection as he carried h
Lucian drove his sleek black car to Ava's workplace, his gaze fixed on her from the corner of his eyes. Her face was radiant with joy, and he couldn't help but smile as he watched her. As he pulled up to the curb, he quickly parked and Ava eagerly jumped out of the car, her heart racing with anticipation.He followed closely behind Ava as she made her way towards the entrance of her company, his hands casually tucked into his pockets.He chuckled softly as he noticed her slight limp.He followed closely behind her, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. She sprinted towards her office, pushing the door open with excitement evident on her face."Nathan!" she whispered, her voice filled with love and longing, as she spread out her arms towards him.Upon hearing his mother's voice, Nathan's face lit up with delight. He quickly abandoned the iPad and rushed towards Ava."Mother!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with love and happiness, wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace.L
The air was heavy with the scent of cigarettes as she stood frozen, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and disbelief. The dim light from the door reflected on Lucian, who stood there staring at her like a predator.His piercing dark green eyes seemed to penetrate her soul as he exhaled a cloud of smoke."Kayla, take Nathan from her!" His voice echoed in her head. Her eyes widened in terror as she watched Kayla make her way towards her.With trembling hands, she reluctantly handed Nathan over to Kayla, unable to do anything to stop it.How had he found out about her house? How had he managed to get inside?Lucian stood up and began to approach her, her legs trembling as she watched him draw nearer. What was he going to do to her? She was beginning to regret her decision.“You think you escaped?" Lucain asked, his voice dripping with menace. A dangerous laugh escaped his lips as he circled Ava, his movements predatory and calculated.Ava's heart raced in her chest as she felt Lucain's p
Ava woke up in Lucian's comforting embrace, feeling a throbbing pain in her head."Ouch." she groaned, unintentionally waking Lucian."What's the matter?." Lucian asked, his face filled with concern."My head is pounding.” she replied, wincing and holding her temples.Lucian gently sat her up, reaching for a bottle nearby."Here, drink this." he said, opening the bottle for her.Ava took a sip and grimaced. "What on earth is in this? It tastes awful!".Lucian stared at Ava with worry. Vanessa had warned him about the side effects of erasing her memory, but he couldn't take the chance of her discovering his true identity as a wolf."Just try to relax for a bit.” he whispered, pulling her closer and offering comfort.Not long after, Ava fell asleep, her body curled up against Lucian’s. Lucian watched her for a while, a soft smile playing on his lips, before reluctantly standing up, making sure not to wake. He took one last look at Ava, his eyes filled with a mix of adoration and concern,
“Damn it!" Lucian cursed, quickly putting his gun away as he chased after Ava. He halted and glared at Kayla with anger. “Why the fuck did you let her inside?" Lucian's voice boomed through the house, filled with anger and frustration.Kayla shivered in fear, trembling slightly.“Don, I swear I tried to stop her but she didn’t agree!”. Kayla responded.Lucian's piercing gaze bore into Kayla, his eyes filled with a mix of disappointment and anger. Without uttering another word, he turned on his heels and made his way upstairs. As he reached his room, Lucian hesitated for a moment before slowly pushing the door open. His eyes were immediately drawn to Ava, curled up at the end of the bed, her body trembling with fear.“Little rose!”. He called, walking towards her. Lucian's heart sank as he watched Ava's trembling form before him. Her delicate frame seemed even smaller as she backed away from him, her eyes wide with terror. The fear emanating from her was palpable, causing a knot t
“Why do you keep pointing guns at people's heads?" Ava asked as she came downstairs.Lucas reacted dramatically, exclaiming, "Oh my goodness! Who is she, and why is she here?"Lucian looked at Ava in surprise. Wasn't she just scared upstairs?"Hi! I'm Daisy Addams!" Ava introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake.Lucian pulled her back, settling her onto his lap. "Ava Luciano Russo." Lucian corrected, emphasising his possessiveness over her.“She’s.. she’s Ava??”. Lucas exclaimed. "She's... she's Ava? Wow, the only woman who can make Lucian go insane! I have been wanting to meet you for a very long time, ma'am!".“I'm Lucas Santiago, Lucian's best friend," Lucas said, extending his hand for a handshake.Lucas's enthusiasm was met with a stern warning from Lucian. Slapping Lucas's hand away, he declared, "You ain't shaking my girl, Lucas!"“It’s just a handshake!”. Lucian's eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with a dangerous edge. "Sure, shake her hand and risk losing an
“Ava!" Maya exclaimed, her laughter filling the room. She leaned back in her chair, her body relaxed and open."What's with the numerous guards?." Maya asked, her eyebrows raised in curiosity. She leaned forward slightly.Ava let out a frustrated sigh, her eyes rolling dramatically. She crossed her arms over her chest."Well, if it's not your future brother-in-law Lucian saying I can only see Nathan if they follow me!" Ava exclaimed.Maya burst into laughter, her body shaking with amusement. She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table.“Well serve you right!”. "It's not like I was gonna try to escape! Why is he so doubtful?" Ava said, her voice tinged with frustration. She leaned back in her chair.“Probably because you tried escaping the last time!" Maya replied, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.Ava raised an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing in confusion."Last time? What was the last time? I haven't stepped foot here since Lucian held me captive!." Ava said, using air quo
**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
