Ava's povWith my face bent to the floor, the only thing I could see was Alaric's feet. It suddenly became hard for me to breathe. I gasped for air because Alaric had just let go of my neck. He was this close to strangling me to death and it's all because of that thing Alana.My coughing grew louder as I tried to regain my stamina. My vision had become very blurry and a sharp pain had developed at the side of my head. I still couldn't believe that Alaric could do this to me! I needed to leave immediately!"Ava I'm sor...!" Alaric stammered as he apologized as soon as he saw me gasping got air. He tried to reach out to me but I had pushed him away."Don't touch me!" I yelled furiously as I covered my body with the fabric on the floor.Not this time! I wasn't having it! He just tried to kill me and only for him to apologize after he almost succeeded! And for what because I stood up to him for taking sides with that thing Alana! This only proves my point Alana is after my man!I hissed l
Alana’s POVI curled myself up in a corner of my room, staring at a room and luxury I never asked for. I laughed at myself. At the orphanage, they were all so jealous I was coming here and I felt on top of the world. This place is nothing but evil and unfairness.I am in a prison.“Ha!” I cried out in frustration but to who? The creepy dolls I hid behind the door. Oh… I remember the crazy person that has been pulling at my hair all day.What could I have possibly done wrong?“Please stop. Let’s talk it out. If I made a mistake I’d change please Ava. “ I pleaded shaking my head from side to side and running, more like crawling away for my dear hair.“Do not ever say my name with that filthy mouth of yours. Never.” She roared looking like some witch.I glanced nervously at the closed door, my heart was an inch away from leaping out of my chest. Someone, Anyone… please help.“Please, please mi Lady… please don’t come any close again, please…. Please. Ha!“ She threw a small table mirror
Alaric’s POVMy footsteps echoed down the dim coordinator and the sharp pain I felt every time I walked down this part worsened with every step. It hurt as hell as I approached Alana’s room, was it the guilt or was it something else? But, she’s guilty, isn’t she?Apologizing was the least I could do after the punishment she had to endure. At least not as Alaric the leader but as Alaric the friend she does deserve an apology from me. As I neared her door, the murmur of voices reached my ears. Curiosity enveloped me and I took hurried steps to the door and placed an ear on it. A tinge of jealousy gripped me as I heard the voices in there. Why do I always find these two together but worst off, why do I feel jealous? I’m already engaged to the beautiful Ava.The familiar voices of Alana and Jordan welcomed so many unwelcome feelings and thoughts inside of me. “What could they possibly be discussing?” I could hear voices but I couldn’t just make sentences out of them. I paced back and
Alana's POVI stared him down as I said the words, annoyance having taken the better part of my mood.Why the hell was he behaving like such a child! It was unsettling, irritating and just a bit scary…A tick went off in his clenched jaw."I don't want to leave. I won't leave." He stated simply, his breathing still ragged.I was so confused!Was there something going on with everyone in the palace? Why was Alaric acting so odd?I stood to my feet and rounded the edge of the bed."Alaric I don't understand what has come over you, what do you mean by you aren't going to leave? We're obviously not achieving anything here together, what are you going to be doing?""When I came in here you and Jay weren't doing anything either so I don't see why my case should be any different.""You don't –" I couldn't help but chuckle dryly at the words. "You _really_ don't see why your case should be any different?" I laughed.His face was a mask of restrained emotions. I saw his fists clench and unclen
Ava's POV“Ava I have nothing to say to you, please leave my room.”“And who the heck do you think you are to dismiss me like that?” I demanded, digging my heels, fully intending to go nowhere.“The owner of the room you're currently permeating with your horrible smell!” Alana retorted with a disgusted look on her face.I sneered.“What was Alaric doing in your room last night?” I demanded.Her eyebrows raised a fraction and I thought I detected amusement.“Why are you asking me and not him?” She chuckled, ignoring me and returning to the book she'd been reading.How dare she laugh at me!My God! A mere servant was making a mockery of me?I felt my face flush crimson.I lunged forward and snatched her book from her hand.“You’d better answer me and accord me the respect I deserve, otherwise you'll be getting worse than a torn textbook next.” I snarled as I grabbed a fistful of pages of the book and yanked it out.Her mouth dropped open and I saw the hurt in her eyes.I smirked in sati
Ava's POVI walked down the stairs in search of Ethan to find him. I found him chatting with some of the female workers."Hey Ethan, what are you doing with these workers?" I faked a smile."Uhm, I really need you to help me with something urgent, please," I said pouting."What do you want me to help you with again?" he asked"Nothing much, but I can't say it here. Go to my room and wait for me, I wouldn't want anyone to see me going to my room together with you," I said looking around to make sure no one observed.Ethan went straight to my room while I came in afterwards with a big box that can contain Alana's body."What are you doing with such a big box, Ava," he asked surprised."Shhh, keep your voice low. I don't want someone to hear us or it might spell doom for us.""Fine, can you tell me why you brought this box and what it is for? Hold on, where's Alana?“ he asked with wide eyes."Good, now you are getting the pieces together. We will put Alana's body inside this box, find a
DAVIS POVI got to the hospital only to be told that Alana went missing in the hospital."How can you tell me that she's missing. I specifically paid for her to be take care of and all your telling me is that she went missing", I yelled."Mr Davis please be calm, we will find her even before you know it. We've searched the entire hospital but she's no where around", the doctor said calmly."Did you check the footage to know if she really left the hospital or you assume she left the hospital", I asked in anger." I will do that Immediately", He said and left.I stood there not knowing to do and now the Alpha prince is out to find Alana.FLASHBACK"Davis see me before you leave this morning", Alpha prince instructed.After awhile"Alpha you called for me"."Yes Davis, I want every single footage of the past 3 days. Am sure to a clue to Alana's disappearance", he said."Yes Alpha. Bit where do you plan to look for her", I asked curiously."Ava told me she ran away with her lover, which i
Ava's POV The pack members were assembled together at night."I called for this urgent meeting because there's been a change concerning the coronation. The ceremony won't be held anymore," the queen mother announced.The place was filled with murmuring from different angles."Letters have been sent to other packs invited for the ceremony. The next date for the coronation will be announced soon, that's all", she said with authority.Everyone dispersed to there various duties debating on the sender chamy in mind of the queen mother."What happened to the queen mother all of a sudden?" I heard a maid asked."I overheard the Alpha prince is not having his mate bond"."If he doesn't feel his mate bond that means Miss Ava is not his mate"."I can't tell and it's best we keep our mouth shut if we value our jobs"."Are you all going to stand there and do nothing. One more word from any of you then consider yourself working through out the night", the chief maid instructed."We're sorry man,"
Alan’s POV Lisa was also an omega, but she had a better name than I did. She didn't get insulted as often as I did since she was still a member of the pack, while I was just a slave omega who was sold.I tried to ignore them, but their taunts grew louder. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Instead, I held my head high and continued walking. lisa understood how I felt, and she touched me, giving me strength. I knew I had to be strong and not let them defeat me.Whenever lisa was with me, the chances of getting bullied were slimmer. We had been friends since the day I was sold into the pack. She was one of the few people who saw me for who I was and didn't judge me based on the circumstances of my life. Having her by my side gave me much-needed comfort. I often thought she would have been a great mate if she were a guy.We finished up and made our way back to the outskirts of the city. I couldn't help but think about the upcoming celebration that everyone was t
Alana’s POV "Slave Alanna, do you still have anything to say?" The Alpha's loud voice met my ears; he was talking to me. My head was bowed, and I was sure I looked guilty.Slowly, I raised it, tears clouding my eyes, never mind, I was just a weak human and couldn't stop myself from crying. "I didn't do anything to luna." The words choked out of me. I wanted him to believe me, but he didn't."Drop this act, you wretched witch. You did this to me!" The Alpha of the Jade pack, my mate's wife, yelled at me. "You did this," she said again.I shifted my gaze to her, forcing myself to speak. "You're all lying," I muttered in a whisper. "What would you gain?"I was being accused of slapping the Luna. What reason would I have for doing that? I was just an omega slave, and she was a werewolf Luna. How in God's name could I slap her? They weren't thinking."Alanna, did you slap the Luna?"Alaric, my mate, asked."I.. I.. I mean" I couldn't speak, and everyone began to murmur."See, Alpha, she's
AVA’S POVPacing around the room, I knew the importance of the coronation and I couldn't help but let my emotions becloud my sense of reason."Ava you need to calm down." Collete voice pulled me out of my deep thought. "You don't have to be bothered by Alana." I stopped on my track. Mere hearing that name pulled a certain anger within my vein."That bitch had succeeded in taking everything away from me. I used to think about my life with Alaric and right now,it is obvious my hopes are gone down the drain." I didn't know my voice were loud. I hated that someone like Alanna would take Alaric away from me and all I had in mind was nothing short of revenge."What are you going to do?" Collette questioned and indeed it was the same question that lingered through my heart. What exactly am i going to do about Alanna. It was about time I dealt with her appropriately. While my mind was in deep thought about my next line of action. I suddenly felt a wave of energy hovering around the place and
Alana’s POV Huh What was happening?"Baby, who is she?" She eyed me, or more so, the coat I was wearing. "Darling," he responded, my heart breaking into a million pieces at the name he just called her. "She's my mate and new slave. Do you like her?""You brought your mate here without consulting me? Alaric..." She dragged."I don't remember having to take orders from you." The alpha frowned."I'm sorry, baby, it's just..." Again, she looked at the coat. I'm sure she recognizes it as Alpha Alaric's."Don't think too much." He stated, walking to stand beside her, facing me. "Ava, meet Hazel, my omega mate and slave," he began introducing. "Omega," he referred to me, "meet Ava, my wife." What His wife? Alpha Alaric already had a chosen mate?God, was this a joke? It was a cruel joke indeed."Baby, why does she look pale?" Ava looked disgusted at me."It's how omegas act when they see beautiful things." He snickered.He was rejecting me directly. Damn, it hurt so bad. Whatever he wa
Alana’s POVI jerked back to reality, my attention back to the man in front of me. He was glaring at me."I'd like to get started, if you're willing to pay attention now." The Alpha grumbled.Without waiting for an answer, he signaled to the elder to begin the ceremony."Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to be here at the Sun Moon Pack today to bless the union of these two children of the Moon Goddess. Shall we?"He looked at my mate, and he nodded once.The elder looked to me with a soft smile, which I returned."Do you, Hazel?" He stumbled for a second, and I smiled sheepishly.The Elder cleared his throat and started again. "Do you, Hazel of the Sun Moon Pack, accept this union and my blessings?""I do," I muttered."And do you acknowledge and accept that henceforth, you will no longer be a member of the Sun Moon Pack?""Yes." I replied a little more eagerly, Who wouldn't be happy to leave the place called hell?"Then, as an Elder of the Werewolf Sitting Council, I hereby strip
Alana’s POV"Hurry up, slave! You have no work to do, after all. Did you even bathe? You stink," barked the Alpha, his tone filled with disdain.I rolled my eyes, growing tired of his constant belittling. I couldn't comprehend why the Alpha thought it was a good idea to assign his spoiled omega sex slave to help me prepare for my mating ritual. It was beyond me. When my mate was in the pack, they allowed me to rest, although my mate would occasionally yank me out of bed by my hair if I got too comfortable. Since then, the slave, Jennifer, had done nothing but waste time on her phone and hurl insults at me with her attitude."Yes, Jennifer," I muttered, my voice laced with irritation. She snorted in response and returned her attention to her phone. I was nearly ready for the ritual. My thick brown hair had been pulled up into an elegant twist, with the veil neatly tucked into place. I hadn't worn any makeup, so I had no choice but to embrace my natural appearance. It didn't bother me
All of the paranormals in the pack were assembled on the open ground; they were all listening to Vron's final speech before the battle."My friends, the battle is upon us. Today! We emerge victorious against the pureblood! Charge! He yelled.Everyone on the field charged in the direction that the purebloods were coming from.Alana was levitating over them all, watching them charge. She sent Alaric to safety while Colette, who was about as powerful as Rawlaine, fought alongside the others on the ground. Alana wasn't taking part in their battle; her opponents weren't the ant-like wolfs of the Nosferatu, but the twelve purebloods.She didn't have to wait long before they arrived. They attacked her in the sky as soon as they arrived on the battlefield."Hmph, these are the roaches that want to take my powers for themselves." She scoffed.She deflected all of their attacks with a single wave of her hands."You have all been thorns in my father's side; today, you will cease to exist," she s
Alana’s POVThe last week came, and I started my training with Lawson. He was polite and cheerful as always, and I was very friendly to him as well. He fought hard, but I took special care not to defeat him even once. That would make his guard low. I knew that I could defeat him, even though I couldn't defeat Rawlaine. If I wasn't wrong, Rawlaine was the most powerful wolf alive in the human realm, apart from the pureblood, if not the most powerful supernatural.On the last day of my training with Lawson, he politely asked for a word with me."Can we take a walk?" He asked."Sure," I replied.We walked to the edge of Lake Geneva, which was on the border of the pack's territory."I heard from one of the witches that you had a shouting row with Rawlaine over me a week ago," he started.I pretended to get enraged on his behalf again. ,"Yes, he was slandering you just to get me to like him. What an attention-seeking jerk!" I exclaimed."He wasn't always like that, you know," he said."He
Ava’S POVA loud siren suddenly started blaring, making my head hurt badly."All residents of the pack are to assemble in the general hall immediately," said the voice of Vron, the leader of the pack and the instructor of the Numbers.I got dressed quickly and went to the hall alongside Belle, who explained everything about the pack that Five and Ven had left out. There were only twelve of the numbers left. Vron was a witch, and the most powerful among the werewolves were the triplet grandchildren of Count Dracula, which were Lawson, the guy from yesterday, herself, and someone called Rawlaine. They were sixty-three years old each, and they were opposing their grandfather by choosing the opposite side from him in the war."We used to be so close when we were young, but something happened. Rawlaine doesn't interact with anyone anymore; it's rumored that something happened to him some twenty years ago." Belle looked sad as she said that."The strongest of the werewolves are the five des
