THIRD PERSON POVFor the first time in weeks, Thorne was sleeping beside the bed when she opened her eyes. Maybe he was still burned out from their activities. Ava admired his features, his perfectly sculpted face and hard jaw. Even in his sleep, he managed to look like the most perfect creation to ever exist. Her eyes trailed lower down to his exposed chest and her mouth watered, his lower body was covered by the sheets and she was tempted to pull it back and look at him but she quickly collected herself and stood up. Her stomach rumbled, reminding her it had not been fed in more than eight hours. There had been no breaks in between the rounds of sex and she had managed not to collapse from hunger. She had underestimated his words when he said he was going to be animalistic. It was like there was no atom of control over him as he took her repeatedly in various positions. Her body was already protesting due to the movement but she ignored it. They both needed something to eat and she
I was bummed when I woke up and Thorne was nowhere to be seen. Not in the bathroom or anywhere around. I wondered where he could have gone and without a word to me. Was it an emergency? Was he going to be back soon? I couldn't tell. An unusual feeling crept in and I wondered if he was upset with me but it couldn't be right? Everything was fine when we went to bed. I was already starting to have a headache and decided not to think anymore. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and made some food, taking mine and leaving some for him, in case he returned. Once I was done, I washed the dishes, grabbed a book, and settled into the couch. Time went by and I kept glancing at the door but he did not come. I dozed off at one point and woke up with a jerk thinking the door opened but it was only the wind. There was no sign of Thorne. I pondered on taking a walk around the house but on a second thought, I decided against it. I was in the middle of the forest, defenseless and alone. The last opti
I met Eiza halfway to my room. "Nyla is around. She is waiting for you in the tutoring room""Will you be cooking today?""No. I'll have dinner downstairs" She nodded and walked away while I changed course to the tutoring room. Nyla embraced me in a tight hug as soon as I arrived. "You look more beautiful each time I see you""Oh stop it. Don't flatter me""Really, you do. Do you look in the mirror at all?" I nodded. "Then you should be able to see exactly what I'm saying" I saw myself every day and while I made something others considered pretty, I didn't think I was that beautiful. Nyla saw me and I wasn't looking down on myself, I just knew a lot more other people who were prettier than I was. "You should give yourself some credit Ava" Nyla pulled me to the couch. "So tell me, how did it go?" I blushed remembering exactly how it had gone. I couldn't describe the details to Nyla. "From that blush, I can tell it went very well. Oh I can't imagine, two whole days of sex""It wa
"Thorne" I tried to pull my hand out of his grip but he held me tightly, his nails digging into the skin of my wrist. "Thorne" I yanked again but he didn't let me go, dragging me upstairs to his office and inside. There were a few people gathered and I only recognized Hudson, Diedre, and the guard who had been standing outside when I dropped by earlier. He dropped my hand and I cradled it fighting back tears from the pain I was feeling. "Repeat what you just said" he commanded the guard who was shaking like a leaf. "She came into your office and spent some time indoors" She understood what the problem was. That she had gone into his office but she had a reason for doubt since. "I found a confidential document amidst your things earlier on and u came to drop it off" I explained but it did nothing to quell the anger on his face. "You came to my office and touched my things!!" He asked in a strained voice but I shook my head. "I only dropped the file and cleared the trash from the
ALPHA THORNE'S POVI couldn't tell why I was bothered by Ava's reaction. The tears that had gathered in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. She was in the wrong, going into my office and touching my things, messing with the organized table, and how I couldn't find a missing document. I was so fucking mad but I chose not to punish her and yet she played the victim like I had wronged her. 'She was only trying to help' my wolf said and I ignored him. Her help only turned out to be burdensome because something was now missing. I hope she will reflect on today and desert from trouble. The enough couple of days have been filled with enough trouble for her as it is. I thought she was quiet and peaceful but she always seemed to have drama whenever I saw her. Always in trouble much to my displeasure and acting like the victim. I scrunched my nose up thinking about the last couple of days. My door opened and I looked up to see who had entered inside. It was Diedre and I frowned. She wa
I was surprised by how much Agatha could help me do. Just now, she spoke about helping me get away and she was already doing it. ‘Are you sure you’re doing the right thing?’ My wolf asked in my head. It didn’t seem like the right thing at all. ‘Then why are you doing it? Because Agatha said so?’Not particularly so. I just wanted to feel valued. And if my absence would make it happen, then I wanted to go with it. ‘You’re foolish’ my wolf snapped and cut me off. “Ava” I was interrupted by Agatha’s voice. “What is with that look on your face? Don’t tell me you’re reconsidering?”“I’m not”“Good. Because he needs to see that he treats you badly. And if you stick around being pitiful like this then he would never see it”“And if he only becomes glad I left”“Then he was never really meant for you, saying you don’t need love is foolish. That is the main basis of mating. Only that” I hung my head. It wasn’t important in the beginning and maybe even now. But there was this need that I h
I was hauled off the floor, the world moving too fast for a moment and then I found balance. I thought I had seen the depth of his rage all those times but they looked like sunny clouds compared to what I was seeing right now. I was seeing rage and anger unlike never before. He was drenched to the bone, his clothes sticking to his skin."Take the bag away" he commanded and one of the men snatched the bag from the floor. "Alpha...""Leave. I'll bring her back" I felt uneasy as the men left me alone with him, unsure of what my fate or situation was. Again, I was hauled and thrown over his shoulder. Ignoring the tingles, I was more focused on trying not to spill my guts out. He bounded through the forest, heading back to the pack house I guess. I didn't struggle, I only stayed still and let him carry me. I must have dozed off because when he set me on my feet, I opened my eyes and realized we were in an unfamiliar place. Warmth had covered my body and I welcomed it. My attention shifted
My body didn't feel like my own. I just wanted to lie down for a moment and rest my head. Even if it was just for a little movement. My body needed rest. That much was evident in my sluggish movement and tired face.Anyone could tell but yet nobody would say a word because they didn't care about me. Born as the daughter of a mistress, my life had never been easy. Occasionally I wished I died along with my mother or that she had never crossed my father's path but it wouldn't change anything. I can't undo the mistake that brought me into this cruel world.Every day was hell for me and I longed for an escape but I was too much of a coward to try. I stopped the large bag of grains that I carried on my back. The dropping made a loud thud and I winced. That sound will definitely attract some unwanted attention.It was still very early in the morning and the time for them to wake up was still far. If I awoke Lady Bianca before the appropriate time, I would receive a whopping. I opened the ba
