CHAPTER 5
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I couldn't believe what I just heard. He was my mate? How was that possible? The Alpha Thorne was my mate? It didn't sound right when I repeated it in my head.
"Who are you?" His voice was gruff and insistent, demanding for a response immediately.
"Ava" I answered immediately, submitting to the alpha command in his voice.
"Who are you and why are you here like this? Who are your parents" he grabbed my arms tightly and I jerked back instantly. He let me go but his focus stayed on me.
"My father is Jackson Coleman" I mumbled. I saw the shock in his eyes.
"Jackson? I didn't know he had a daughter" I wasn't surprised. How could he know? They didn't take me out like they took Jonathan. I was always introduced as a slave so even if he wanted to, he couldn't know me.
"Why are you like this? What are you doing here?" He asked again.
I didn't know how to answer his questions. How do I tell him that I was the daughter of the mistress, so hated by her family that they treated me like the help? Most of all, I couldn't believe that I was speaking with him. That he called me his mate. Alpha Thorne who was feared even amongst the alphas. I felt calm but at the same time, my mind was going haywire.
"Ava" he called my name, coming impossibly closer and a shiver ran down my spine.
"I asked you a question" he growled at me but I stared at his lips, lost in the beauty of them. I wanted to answer his questions but my brain lacked function.
"Ava" he called again in an impatient voice, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I...I am not the daughter of his wife" I said and his eyes widened. His shock was clearly visible in his eyes. I could tell all his emotions just by staring into his eyes.
Maybe because he called me his mate but the rumors said he was cold and he never gave anything away. How was it so easy? Was he relaxed around me?
"Come with me" he grabbed my hand again and a tingle shot through me from the point of his tough. My whole body felt alive and a small moan escalated my throat. He let go of me at the sound.
He took the tray, setting it carelessly on the stand and then he sat me on the bed. I was conscious because of my current state. I didn't want to get my filth over his bed.
I tried to stand up but he pushed me back to the bed.
"I don't want to stain your sheets"
"Don't worry about the damn sheets. I don't give a fuck about them" I blushed at his choice of crude words.
"Jackson is your father?" He asked impatiently, suddenly angry about something.
"Yes"
"Then why? Why does he let you live like this?"
"Not a slave" I quickly said. If Bianca heard it there'll be hell to pay.
"Don't tell me that" he snapped and I flinched, terrified of his temper.
"Sorry," he mumbled and I became even more shocked.
He was apologizing? I stared at him long and hard. Maybe the rumors were false. He wasn't anything they had described him to be. I thought I had to be conscious of myself and scared of making a mistake but I was far from that. I felt extremely relaxed.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty"
"When did you turn twenty?"
"Today," I said, reminded of the fact that it was my birthday.
"For fucks sake" he cursed under his breath, taking his hand through the thick mass of dark curls on his head. He was upset about something and it made me worried. He paced continuously in front of me, engaged in a conversation with himself.
I writhed my hands as I waited did him to say something else.
"Have you lived here since you were born?" He asked again and I nodded.
"Have you ever been whipped....or abused?" My eyes widened at the question and I remembered Lady Bianca's threat.
"No," I said immediately. He paused his pacing and stared at me.
"Don't you dare lie to me" he growled in my face.
"Only when I did something wrong. Nothing serious" I lied. He didn't believe what I had said but he didn't utter any other word. The door opened and I jumped, scared to be found seated on his bed.
Our alpha mate entered the room with a shirt, her eyes landing on me and I quickly averted my gaze.
"What are you doing....."
"Enough leave us" Alpha Thorne cut in rudely. Luna said nothing and walked out of the room.
"We're going to see your father now" his voice was harsh as he pulled on the shirt. He was doing the button when he stopped and looked at me.
"Never mind. Go in and have a shower and wear this" he dropped the shirt.
"Did I do something? Why are we going to see my father"
"Just do as I say now" he snapped and I moved. It took a while, but I was able to get the dirt off my body and then I cleaned up and wore the shirt.
"Have you had anything to eat?" He asked me when I stepped into the room.
"No" I mumbled. He grabbed my waist and my body tingled. He took me out of the room and took the stairs to the party. I couldn't protest even if I wanted to.
The entire guests became silent as soon as they saw us. Lady Bianca was marching up to me in the next second, an angry look on her face. Subconsciously, I moved into his side, trying to hide from her view.
"What the fuck did you do" she growled at me.
"I....." I was cut off by Alpha Thorne.
"Don't speak" he snapped, making me shut up instantly.
"Alpha" Alpha Mathew came up.
"Have you been attended to?"
"We can punish her as you deem fit" Lady Bianca jumped in.
"No punishment. I want the girl"

Alpha Thorne's words resounded in the room and then I heard a collective gasp ripple through the environment, followed by a murmur of astonishment and chaos. I felt a thousand eyes on me, their gazes burning into my skin, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from Alpha Thorne. His expression was unreadable, a storm of emotions wrecked through me as I stared at his emotionless eyes holding mine."No!"Jonathan's voice rang out, filled with outrage and disbelief. He pushed his way through the crowd, his face twisted in a snarl. He was vibrating with so much anger. "Ava is not going anywhere with you. She is our servant and you're not taking her anywhere"Alpha Thorne's gaze shifted to Jonathan, his eyes narrowing with a cold, calculating fury."You dare try to stop me?" he asked, his voice low and threatening. I never thought silence could be so loud."You must have a smart mouth. You dare challenge me" he took a step forward and the silence deepened.Jonathan's face turned red with rage,

I did not have enough time to pack anything. I followed Alpha Thorne without looking back.The journey back to his pack was quite a quiet and long one and he barely spoke a word to me. He just had his eyes out of the window while his feet gave soft taps to the floor. I sat at the edge of the seat, my fingers held onto the edge of my dress nervously, I cast glances at the alpha who sat directly opposite me, but his expression was unreadable. He had his eyes out of the window most of the time and he did not try to start a conversation. The anxiety I felt made me feel uncomfortable. I was occupied with my thoughts which kept me company. I began to feel he was not happy taking me along with him. Perhaps he was already regretting taking me with him. Maybe he now saw I was an embarrassment just like Bianca and Jonathan had said.The more I thought about it, the more I was certain that I was truly an embarrassment to everyone I had come in contact with. I hoped Alpha Thorne would be diffe

ALPHA THORNE's POVI woke up at the speed of light. It had been a long night for me. I was still wrapped in the embrace of sleep.The thick and soft furs of my duvet covered me, and as I stirred, I pushed it aside, exposing my body to the chilled air that graced my skin. I looked around and scanned the poorly lit chambers, the curtains covered every source of light coming in.I swung my legs over the edge of my bed, the cool touch of the stone floor beneath my bare feet tickled me and I sought my footwear at the other side of the bedI rose from the bed and with a control and deliberate movement I moved to the bathroom. I could hear sounds coming from outside the door but nobody came in. I took my time to wash up after which I cleaned up with a thick towel.I crossed over to my massive wardrobe in a corner of my chambers. In it were cleanly fitted garments. I took out a tunic of deep blue and a brown breach that suited it perfectly. I dressed up swiftly as I readied myself for the day

I was stressed from doing absolutely nothing. As I stirred from my restless slumber, the foremost rays of the morning had already begun to sift through the blinds of my big room. The light went directly to my eyes and I covered them a bit while I tried to adjust to the brightness.I could not still bring myself to believe I occupied this room. It was a room unlike anything I had ever known, with its high tops and glamourous decorations that spoke of wealth and privilege. It could not be compared to the one I owned at my father's house.My bed was worn out and the foam was almost to the hard ground. The rats barely let me sleep properly. The spoilt door made it difficult for me to enjoy my privacy. But this one here in the Alpha's home was the opposite. But despite its extravagance, the atmosphere held a feeling of obliviousness that made me feel unsettled. I was very much awake now and while I scanned the room, I noticed a lady standing. She was taking out some stuff which I noticed

I ate slowly and calmly I was scared I would stain my dress. I noticed the Alpha's eyes on me and that made me tremble a bit. Had I clumsily stained my dress? Ohh... Ava. I cautioned myself in my mind. He was going to see how unfit I was for his life and class. He was concentrating on me and then I followed his eyes to my hand. There was blood. Blood from my hand.A piece of broken plate must have cut into my skin, and I did not notice. I began to feel the pain after I saw the blood. My heart raced as I tried to hide my trembling hands, but it was too late. Alpha Thorne's eyes, strong and unwavering, looked in on the deep red color droplets smearing the floor."Ava, you are hurt," he said his voice was low but firm and commanding. My pulse hastened, and I could barely breathe as I looked up, fearing I was in trouble. His manifestation was fierce, his jaw set in a hard line, and I braced myself for the rebuke I felt certain was coming. I trod to love from where I sat "Hold still Av

Chapter 11It was almost midday and I was very bored. I had absolutely nothing to do and Eiza was nowhere to be found. She had come up in the early hours of the morning to bring me breakfast and prepare my bath but since then I had not set eyes on her again. She would have been the perfect one to keep me company. I thought of some activities that could take away boredom. And after a long thought, I decided to play dress up in front of the mirror. I walked over to the wardrobe to what the beautiful dresses Alpha Thorne sent up for me. I still had not seen him to Th ak him properly. I had gone to his study but was told of his absence.I stood there for a while before picking a lilac dress. It had a simple design but was very beautiful. I put it on gently and walked to the mirror. I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the way the lilac gown seemed to glow in the afternoon light."This beautiful" I turned as I heard the door closing. I was not expecting to see anyone else aside from

I had stayed up in bed almost all morning. I was feeling weak and tired. Eiza had come to do her daily chores as usual. She had persuaded me to take a walk around the estate and I had agreed to it. The morning breeze was a bit chilly and I enjoyed the feeling of being under the soft furry duvet.I remember back at home, I shivered till the cold was over. The only duvet I had was confiscated by Bianca. I quickly pushed that aside. I tried to sleep but it was not forthcoming and as the afternoon sun began to come out, I got up from the bed and decided to take a stroll like Eiza had suggested. I heard a weak knock on the door. I turned, I was expecting to see Eiza but my heart skipped a beat when Alpha Thorne came inside the room. His presence filled the room, I was fully aware of his presence and my body tingled."Good Afternoon, Alpha Thorne" I greeted, "How are you doing today Ava?" he asked, his voice a rich baritone that always seemed to echo within me. "I very well Alpha. I was

Alpha Thorne's POVI was in the hallway, and I saw her in the garden. It was as though she had been waiting for me. I walked closer and faster to meet her.She was beaming with smiles and welcomed me with open arms. I moved closer and held her hands. he looked up at me and for a moment held her beautiful eyes. Ava's skin glowed from the moonlight. I caressed her arms and I felt the slight shiver of her body. She came closer to me and I held her tightly. She clung to me and I loved it. We wanted this moment to be our private moment. We took a walk back to my chambers. And we walked, we talked. I held onto her delicate hands as we walked. We were finally in the confines of my chambers and I hugged her. She looked up at me and I saw a LoC of her hair fall to her face. I gently pushed it behind her ear and my hand brushed light on her skin and I felt her skin. She held my eyes for a while and I reached for her face and caressed her cheeks. Ava closed her eyes as she felt my touch.

"What?" I was shocked by his utterance. He was going to leave here? Why?"That's a rash decision Torren. Why do you want to leave? Where will you go to?"He shrugged. "I don't know but I'm going to leave here and I'll never return. Maybe Matthew would finally know my worth when I'm gone from here" he said bitterly and I didn't think that was a good idea."Don't go Torren. Will you leave everything behind just to prove a point?""Yes. Didn't you want to go far away just so Thorne could realize his mistake?""I didn't want to leave because I liked him, I wanted to leave because of the way I was treated. You of all people should know that. I regretted mating with him because I rushed into everything thinking he liked me. And look how it turned out in the end. It was never a good idea. Running away from it is never a good idea""Hut really, How is it any different from my own? If he doesn't come after me then I can move on. But staying here, grasping at straws and hoping he'll change" "

The next day when I woke up, Thorne wasn't by my side. I wondered where he could have gone or if he was in the bathroom. What if he regretted what happened last night?‘Why would he?’ My wolf asked annoyed.‘Again with your insecurities’ she huffed but I ignored her. 'No, I won't think about it. It was a mistake' I said to myself. 'It's too early this. The day just started' my wolf said and shut me out. 'I was talking to myself. Not you' I spoke but she was already gone. I removed the covers and stood up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to freshen up for the day. I was going to read some books to keep myself busy after my training session later. I went to take a shower and I couldn't help but remember last night and how Thorne held me. No matter how hard I tried not to remember it was just in my head. 'That's because you can't take him off your head' And she was back again. 'Stop it, I don't need your input right now. You always have a way of putting things into my head'

"W-What..." I stuttered, a bit alarmed by his sudden entrance but also self-aware because I was exposed to his gaze."I-I... had...." He stuttered, also unfocused as he gazed at me, coming closer and closer. I stood at the sad spot, my eyes following him as he drew nearer. The moonlight shining on him was intoxicating to look at. His body and huge frame were like a work of art as I gazed at him. When he was close enough, he wrapped his arms around my naked body and kissed my shoulder softly."You look so beautiful" I purred in his touch, pushing my body against his. My nipples had hardened into pebbles and brushed against the rough material of his shirt. "I've seen so many beautiful things in my life. Paintings... Even The view outside is breathtaking." He whispered reaching his hands up to touch mine."But not even the greatest painter in the world couldn't capture the breathtaking beauty of you standing in front of me right now." He whispered with a second kiss on my neck.My e

"Sorry," I apologized again, just for the sake of peace because with the look brimming in her eyes, she was out for trouble and I wasn't in the mood to engage her. "What exactly are you sorry for?" She snapped and I pressed my fingers against my forehead. She really was going to take the long road. "Diedre... this isn't....""I really want to know what you're fucking sorry about. Bumping into me and breaking with what I'm holding or you're sorry for not seeing. Are you blind?" She raged angrily."I just said I was sorry Diedre. You don't have to be rude about it" I raised my voice equally even though I regretted right after for engaging her. "Would the sorry pay for what I was holding, it's very expensive. Not like you can tell the worth of anything with how measly you are"I pinched my lips tightly together, trying to stop myself from exploding. ‘She’s not worth it’ I repeated to myself.“Do you even have the money to buy it or do you just go and steal my brother's diamonds like

Days passed after the incident with Henry and Thorne had contacted the other alphas, they were going to track down the others so they could stop the trafficking of young boys and bring all those who were involved in the disgusting trade to book, serving as a déterrant to others who would think not starting or engaging in something as horrendous as that against small children. I couldn’t believe what they had done all these years, the lives they had ruined. Children were taken away from their families and forced into the harshness of that business. I was alone in the room and I was bored, I walked to the window and looked out. Today looked dull and I was thinking of something I could do to keep myself busy. Eiza had only dropped by earlier in the morning but I was still sleepy so I asked her to let me be. I had yet to see her since that time. Torren would be occupied too. I huffed as I moved away from the window.Since I woke up extra late today, I haven’t done my morning routine and

ALPHA THORNE'S POVAfter speaking with Ava, and she fell asleep in my arms, I left the room. It was hard to convince Ava that I was fine even with the cut, I saw how worried she was but I needed to speak with Mathew. I needed him to clarify some things. I wanted to be done quickly and get back to Ava before she realized that I was gone. And again, despite the situation, I just wanted to go back to holding her in my arms. It’s been a long time since I got to hold her like that and be surrounded by her addictive scent. It wasn’t fun to throw that moment away for crisis. When I arrived at the front of my office, Busta was waiting.“Henry is in the dungeon. Is there anything you’d like us to do until you’re ready to see him?”“Have him bound and watched at all times. I don’t want him slinking out of our sight. He could be the key to cracking the trafficking case once and for all”“Of course alpha. Do you need any other thing? You were injured”“I’m fine. Get me Mathew immediately. We nee

“Are you okay?” I asked, my voice full of concern as I checked Thorne. He held onto the place where he had been stabbed, an annoyed look on his face.“I’m fine” he tried to smile but it did nothing to reassure me. The guards had grabbed a struggling Henry and dragged him away. “Are you fine?” Mathew tried to come close but he held up his hands stopping him. Diedre was crying loudly and I felt pity for her. She had just learned in the most cruel way how her mother had passed.“Let’s go” I tugged him gently and he let me take him away. I led him to his bedroom and sat him on the bed. The healer was called and the stab wound was attended to. He was in slight pain before the healer arrived and after the wound was treated he no longer felt pain, but he looked pale and I was relieved it wasn't something serious. I had been very scared when he was stabbed and I thought something was going to happen to him. I was supposed to be the one lying on the bed with the wound but he came just at the

Thorne came to me after I was dressed.“You look exquisite” he complimented as he kissed the side of my cheeks. “Let’s go” he offered his hands and I took it. We arrived at the large double doors and it was opened wide by the guards who stood at the entrance. We entered the dining and it was only Diedre who was seated, she looked shocked to see Thorne and I coming in together and holding hands. Thorne pulled out my chair for me to sit down and I sat before he took his own chair. "Good evening brother" Diedre greeted Thorne but he only acknowledged the greeting with a nod. I wasn't expecting her to greet me so I just kept quiet. But I felt her flare on me. The bitterness from her was reeking. One could perceive it from a thousand miles away. The servants started dishing the food at Thorne’s order. The others had not yet arrived. I wondered who the special guest was and why the person had not yet arrived. I wanted to ask Thorne about it but I decided to keep it to myself. If he de

After Thorne left, I thought about what he said. For most of the day, our conversation was on my mind. Should I really be blaming him for everything that happened? He was lied to just like I was, he could not have known the truth and still acted the way he did. And he was remorseful about all that had gone wrong. But....he didn't trust me and that's why he believed everything Agatha said. Could I really forgive him and move past this? I thought to myself. It seemed very impossible and difficult. It was not easy for me to forget the pain and humiliation, I remembered how I pleaded with him to believe me but his mind was already set on not believing me. So I didn't think it was possible to move on from that. 'You don't want to forget it and that's why it seems hard to move on but it's possible to move on' my wolf said. 'Can you really forget all the accusations against us? Or is it the whipping? Or is it how he never treated us like his real mate except when he needed to satisfy hims
