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.
The darkness of my room did nothing to hide the bright graphics hunting me in my dreams. I was in a familiar environment. My anxiety heightened as I was sure of my present environment. I was back to my old pack. The thought of what Bianca and Jonathan would do to me made me shiver. And just as I thought, they were standing just by the house, they had a cold and unforgiving stare that bore into me, and their expressions were filled with disgust and meanness.Somehow I was not in control of my movements, I found myself in a small passage in the house, and my heart continued to thump in fear. "How did I get here?" I asked myself I could perceive the familiar scent of rosemary I had been used to when I stayed here. The air was dense with uncertainty, and I could hear Bianca's voice calling out to her, trickling with meanness."Ava! Ava!! Ava!!!" I heard her scream her voice piercing my ears."Ava!!" I heard again but this time in a deeper voice belonging to JonathanI tried to run but
I had spent most of my morning indoors and I was gradually losing my mind from doing nothing. I paced my room seeking a solution to my unending boredom.Weeks had passed since I came to Alpha Thorne's pack. I was tired of being indoors. I had never been used to being idle and I did not want to start now. I wanted to feel useful to myself. While I appreciated everything he had done for me, I just felt staying idle was not best for me since I was trying to forget everything I had been through. I usually had flashes from time to time, I just wanted to get busy. "I have to find a way out of this boredom. I cannot continue like this" I muttered to myself as I sat down on the couch close to my bed. I had to meet with the Alpha again. I had told him about it before but he had given a negative response. Maybe he felt I was trying to pay back for his kindness towards me. i needed him to know how much I needed to work. I was unable to hold it any longer, i stood up with revived decision. If
