ETHAN'S POVI drove downtown into the woods till my car couldn't go further anymore. I alighted, carried the box deeper into the woods where people hardly pass through. I dropped the box and sat down in one of the dry wood. I brought out my phone when it vibrated inside my pocket indicating it was ringing."Am successfully out of the palace now. Where are you?" Ava asked through the line."Am far away in the woods at the outskirts of the pack" I replied"Just stay on the low and don't let anyone close to that box no matter what, don't leave your position now. I will be there in a short while", she said more like an order and ended the call.I pocketed my phone back and leaned my head on the tree behind when the thought of what has been happening for the past few days flashed through my memory which got me thinking of how much my life has changed towards Ava."What is wrong with me? How do I get to the bottom of this madness" I mumbled.I Know within myself that something is wrong with
Ethan's POVI left the room in anger. Considering the fact that I make. A fool of myself each time am with Ava. I always agree to help her with her dirty work and yet she sees me as nothing but a pimp to be used and dumped anytime she wishes.She doesn't even care if I am happy or sad, crying or laughing, all she knows is herself alone. Yet I keep wondering when I grew such an affection towards Ava that compels me to do her bidding."Ahhhh, who does she think she is, huh? I yelled, smashing the flower vase beside me."I have gotten myself into another mess of hers and she has the guts to threaten the hell outta me", I fumed."It's alright. I have gotten myself entangled in it already and it's right I finish what I started", I mumbled."Sir your palm is bleeding", A male worker alerted me."Let me help you, sir"."No, it's fine. I will have it treated immediately. Thanks for your kindness", I smiled lightly and left."AVA'S POVI watched as he left without saying a word, then I smiled.
ALANA’s POVI hated the smell of the hospital and while Davis was sorting out what to do, my patience was slowly wearing out. I didn't know how many days I would be here, so I couldn't help but hope it would not be long.The door suddenly open and I felt his presence before I could lay my eyes on him. My wolf howled with joy at the presence of her mate."How do you feel?" His thick voice had my entire stomach filled with butterflies. Alaric's huge effect on me, was something I couldn't understand and while many would allude it to the mate bond, I couldn't help but believe my love for Alaric transcended beyond that."Alana!" I snapped at out of my thoughts as Alaric's voice came through again. "Are you alright?" He asked showing concerns about my well being."Since when did you decided to be all caring? I thought you did not want to see me." I asked still finding it hard to believe Alaric's words."Look, I am sorry for the way I have treated you and I am here to make it up to you." Aga
AVA’s POVI saw one of the men holding a device that was both producing the sound of numerous heartbeats and wafting out different scents of food. That made me deduce that those guys knew about werewolfs, and they were certainly not friendly. I felt them coming closer to me as I lay on the ground, grimacing. I noticed that I said felt, not heard. That's right, they didn't have footsteps, and once I listened past the fake heartbeats, I realized that they didn't have heartbeats as well.That was an anomaly, and I'd never heard or seen something like that before. Even werewolfs had heartbeats; did that mean that there were other kinds of supernaturals out there?One of the men raised his hand to his ear, and what I heard made me realize that I had just gotten into more danger than I could have ever thought possible."We've got one that jumped out immediately; she scented the food, sir, though we aren't sure of what she is because she fell to the ground like a normal human and is currentl
91AVA’S POV"Ava, run faster!" Colette screamed.As I heard that, I subconsciously observed my surroundings."Oh, crap," I muttered. Were those guys floating?The two men were gliding after me, and they were almost catching up to me. And I noticed that they were not wearing black suits; they were wearing black robes. I ran faster than I ever thought I could a year ago, but it just wasn't enough; the men were gaining on me.I didn't stop to power my jump as I leapt from the ground, so I didn't have enough force propelling me while I was midair. I expected to see an expression of joy on Colette's face as I neared the window edge, but her mouth was open in a silent scream.Then everything happened at once. I felt a strong sucking force pulling me down; it felt like the force of gravity had increased my weight a thousand times. At the same time, I felt rough and cold hands grab me. That was the last sensation I felt before I saw the surrounding space split open to swallow us all.Colette
Collette’s POV"I'll do this alone," I said to Adrian and Martha, bearing huge grudges towards them both."We want to find Ava as much as you do, you know," Martha said, lowering her head unhappily.I knew they were hurting, but I was in no mood to comfort them; they were the reason Ava was gone in the first place."If your ward had worked in the first place, we wouldn't have to be searching for her," I said in a cold voice. I wasn't planning to humor them; they messed up seriously, and they should know it."We didn't know it wouldn't work," Adrian said."That doesn't make Ava any less gone, does it?" I asked.They lowered their heads, neither of them replying."Glad we have that settled; if that's all, I'm leaving to find her," I said to them."Let us come along," Adrian said."You would be of no use to me; as you know, those who captured her weren't humans. Therefore, I don't want to have to protect you when I should be rescuing Ava," I explained in the same cold voice."You're mad
AVA’S POV"So it's just a school?" I asked, acting like I was willing to accept my plight."Yes, and to convince you further, think about this. If the witches were experimenting on supernatural species, they ended up creating an enhanced supernatural with greater powers than any of us. That won't be a problem if the supernatural can be kept under control, but we'd all be at risk if the supernatural went berserk. Do you understand now?" He asked."Yes," I replied."How many supernatural species are there?" I asked."Witches, genetically modified humans (GMH), Werewolfs, werewolves—that's all there is for now.Holy water, seawater, sunlight, and wolfsbane Those are the weaknesses of the species as well. There are other species as well, but they either went extinct or went into different realms with time," he explained."What is the purpose of the school, though?" I asked."We teach young paranormals the ancient arts of magic. It's the only way we can win the war since we don't have the
AVA’S POVI was standing on a beach, and I was looking at the broad back of a tall man. I walked closer to him, calling him by who he was to me."Father," I called. He turned around, and I felt power like I'd never felt before. He had white hair and a white beard, though he didn't look old at all. His eyes were gold, and his face looked royal and majestic. The man is strong enough to create and destroy realms and write history. My real father, Essendale.His power was non threatening to me; instead, it felt very warm and comforting, like home."Hello, Avaquel," he smiled.So that was the full version of my name, Avaquel."It is nice to finally meet you, my daughter," he said.I didn't say anything; I just stood there, observing him."I know you must have lots of questions for me... and I assure you, I will answer them all in due time," he said."I only hope you don't resent your mother and me for being absent for most of your life. She misses you every day, and she has refused to see
