AvaAs expected, my pack weren’t happy to see me arriving with two of the high ranked wolves from Daniel’s pack. They all knew that Daniel and I were married, but they didn’t know we were mated. Grandma noticed the mark instantly and frowned, but she didn’t say anything until we were alone.“Are you trying to send me to an early grave?!” She softly growled as soon as we were alone and I rolled my eyes.“It wouldn’t be that early, would it?” Instantly regretting my words, I sighed deeply and turned to look at her. I had been looking out the window in my office while she ranted about literally everything. “I’m sorry. That was uncalled for. I just can’t understand why you can’t see that I’m trying to save all of us here.” I sighed before sitting down. She joined me on the couch still looking hurt. I had to fix this. I had to make her understand that this was the only way.“Grandma, I’ve already explained to you that rejecting Daniel didn’t work.” I sighed. “If we didn’t … If he didn’t ma
AvaAfter searching for three days straight, I needed a break. I had grown so used to having Alex and Max with me, that I hardly even noticed them anymore and I made my way to my favourite place in the entire world. Grabbing my skates from the shed, I watched as the two of them looked confused.I got onto the ice and took a deep breath before pushing off. It felt incredible to be back. It was where I was most at home. I thought about my last competition and how incredible it felt after I did the jump. All my life, I had followed all the rules.I practiced each turn and jump to perfection. I never even thought about bending a rule. I knew that if I made it to the world championships, I would have won. I knew it deep within my heart, but none of that mattered anymore.As I skated and did a triple axel, I smiled noting the stunned looks on the faces of Alex and Max. Pushing my body felt really good, and I was reminded that it had only been a couple of days since I was disqualified. I bre
AvaI smelled the poison the second Alex opened the bottle. I waited until he handed me the glass and looked at Max before making my move. I couldn’t believe it was happening again. Differently this time, but it was happening again.Alex was trying to kill me! He turned his back on me like the damn coward he was and that was his last mistake. In one swift move, I put the glass down to keep as proof and closed the gap between us. I heard his neck snap as though it wasn’t me doing it.Before his body even dropped, I called my guards. They arrived just in time to see me glaring at Max. He had already told me that he could smell the foul scent of the poison and was holding his hands in the air in surrender.I only calmed down after I spoke to Daniel on the phone, and all I could think about was to see him. I needed him there. I needed him with me. Max did not resist as he was taken away by our warriors and my grandmother gasped when she rushed into the office and saw the sight in front of
AvaThe witch looked nothing like I expected. I went with Daniel to pick her up from the airport. Her bright smile was the first thing that caught me off guard since her teeth were perfectly straight and perfectly white for a start. She had no weird mole on her chin or her nose and her beautiful blond hair shone in the sunlight. Her blue eyes looked right into your soul as she took in everything about us.We drove her to the pack territory, and she quickly set to work to unravel the mysteries of the spell. Half an hour later, Daniel and I were back in town trying to get our hands on some of the ingredients she needed. As we strolled through the supermarket, I sighed deeply.“What’s up, buttercup?” He smiled, but I could see the multitude of emotions crossing his eyes and I tried to smile.“We are shopping for ingredients for a spell in a supermarket.” I suddenly laughed, throwing my hands in the air. His spontaneous laughter sounded like bells to my ears and I could feel some of the t
DanielThe message was cut off halfway and my heart stopped for a second. I felt torn between saving my people and keeping Ava safe. Wasn’t it enough that I was trying to deal with the death of my brother? Now I had to find out that Harper had challenged my father and killed him!In my mind’s eye, I saw the woman I loved standing against the woman I was supposed to love and I was trapped between them. I never loved Harper. That was why she was chosen as my mate. My father like his father, believed that love made us weak.Looking at everything now, I could understand why they believed that. I sent Alex with Ava to protect her, and now he was dead. I left my father with the pack to protect him and now he was dead. If I left to take back what was mine, I risked Ava’s life again by leaving her alone.For a split-second I wondered if knowing about the different past time lines was the reason, I felt the way I did now. If we were able to start over, would it save us? If we were able to star
AvaI was relieved to find out that the pack was ready to go to war. As soon as they found out what Harper was up to, they agreed the time had come to finish this. Now that we could shift, the time had come to take it to them. My people were fired up and we shifted before Daniel took the lead.We knew if we went there with the plane, Harper would be expecting the attack. Daniel also had some people in the pack who were feeding him information. We would know the moment she made her move. My pack pushed through the thick forest with a new determination.The atmosphere was electric. I couldn’t take the time to smell the roses like I wanted. Being able to be completely conscious in my new form was incredible and it would have been too easy to get distracted. Thankfully, we reached Daniel’s border and I had to force myself to focus.We crossed the border and made our way to the pack house. As we were nearing the grounds, I could hear wolves howling and my heart skipped a beat. What the hel
AvaI was ready to die again. At least, we found the spell and did it this time. We only had one of the three left to fight. If I died, I was ready for whatever the next time line threw my way. We had come such a long way. We came from Daniel taking me prisoner, to Daniel marrying me on the spot.I shifted so naturally that I could attack Harper faster than I thought I would. Pain shot through my body seconds later and I realized she was faster than I had expected. We took up our positions for only a moment before attacking again.Her jaw snapped too close for comfort near my neck and I pushed her away. I was at the point in my life where I literally had nothing and everything to fight for. I believed I would die. History had proven that to me, but I also believed that Bastet would bring me back.I fought with all my might nonetheless, and when I finally got my jaw around her throat it was as though the world started to spin faster. My jaw clamped shut and I heard her breathing her la
AvaAll around me, people were celebrating even though some of them were injured. It was as though the sudden peace had brought new life with it. Two packs who had been at war for so many years were finally one pack who could live in peace.We no longer had to hide from them. We were all the same now. We were one pack. It made me think of my first life when I was so worried about Kai and what would become of him. I was so worried that he would be torn between his father’s people and mine.The way things turned out now, meant he would be the alpha of one people one day. That made me wonder if Daniel and I would have our son. Was it even possible? I shook my head, not wanting to think about it. It was as though the loss of our son was too great to deal with, and to me, it was a loss.“We have some decisions to make.” Grandmother frowned as her voice broke through my disturbing thoughts and I nodded.“Of course, but first, I want us to organize a celebration for tonight. I want the peopl
