Devon's pov

I stood there with my eyes wide open and my mouth hanging, she was stunning. I had arrived not long ago and I was about to enter the hall when I saw Avery and Isabella.

What a shitty timing. Donovan had told me to arrive late for the sake of making an entrance but I know people wouldn't even look in my direction. They were both stunning even though I didn't want to admit it because of Isabella.

But it was totally worth it. Avery was so beautiful and I couldn't help but smile at the thought that she would soon be my Luna. Donovan had told me to play it cool today and that he would work going out from the background.

Wow, what a shitty timing. I sighed as I waited outside the ball, I had arrived just as Avery and Isabella had opened the door. I had wanted to join them but I decided against it. Moreover, I didn't want to be anywhere near Isabella. How the hell were the both of them holding hands after everything that happened?

I waited as the audience gawked at them, the ent

    Lucien's POV I watched as Avery walked in and headed towards her parents. I smiled, she was perfect in every way possible. I took another glass of champagne, I wanted to approach her but I didn't.It would be stupid of me to interrupt her time with her parents, moreover, I felt like it wasn't time just yet. My intuition was telling me to enjoy the place a bit. I had a feeling something might happen tonight.I moved into another area to have a taste of the champagne there when I was bumped into by someone. I ignored the person, after all, it was pretty normal to be bumped into in events like this but the person grabbed my shoulder and I felt ticked.I turned around and I was surprised to see that it was Devon.“Lucien,” he said in a low tone,I looked at him and my aura unknowingly leaked out. I didn't know why, maybe it was because of our past or what had happened between him and Avery but I felt angry all of a sudden and it became hard to restrain my aura.I felt myself getting even

    Avery's povI looked around the hall, the ball was going pretty great. The drinks were amazing and the music was fantastic. I was really impressed and apparently, this was all my mother's work. I was stuck between praising my mother and laughing at my father for his nonexistent taste in…. Everything.I walked around the hall making small conversations. I approached a group of people that were talking about the champagne and I greeted them,“Hi, I wanted to thank you all for coming. It means a lot to me.” I said with a smile.They all smiled back and they looked stunned. I tried to stay around to have a casual chat with them but they ended up just talking about me and I had to leave with the excuse of greeting others.I repeated the same thing again and again as I greeted as many guests as possible. I caught my parents looking at me with wide obnoxious smiles on their faces and I blushed. Didn't they know that they looked creepy?But as much as I was happy, I was also a bit sad. I hadn

    Devon's pov I looked around but Lucien was nowhere to be found and I felt shivers down my spine at the thought of what it meant. He was stronger now, way stronger and I had obviously underestimated him.I began walking around, trying to be as normal as possible but that seemed almost impossible to do because as much as I hated to admit it, I was afraid of Lucien.Whenever I thought I had calmed myself down, I would remember that gaze and that aura and I would find myself trembling involuntarily. I had to meet Donovan, I had to tell him about what happened and I had to warn him.I looked around and then I headed for the bathroom. I looked in every stall to make sure that they were all empty, and then I entered the stall at the end. I sat in the water closet as I tried to calm myself down.“I take it you've met Lucien.” I heard a voice say. It was obscure and strange but I knew it was Donovan that was speaking. He really was a mysterious man, he had so many tricks up his sleeve and he

    Lucien's POVWe danced round and round and I felt myself sinking deeper into her, our souls were connected and we were one, just like that night under the moonlight. It was perfect.I stared into Avery's eyes, her white eyelashes gently fluttering as we moved, her ruby-red eyes staring into mine and reflecting mine. It was enchanting and I wanted the moment to last forever.I had my hands in her and hers in mine and we were the only ones present. The world had gone quiet and we were dancing to the melody of the moon goddess. We danced and danced around like the moon and the sun, like yin and Yang. We were an eternal couple.Or so I thought until we were pulled out of our trance by that familiar voice. At first, we hadn't paid attention to it but it had drifted into my ears and I had stopped the dance even though I was unwilling.“Excuse me!!! Lady Avery, will you marry me?!” the voice had said and I had never heard a sentence more foul. I looked towards the speaker and just as I had t

    Avery's pov Lucien stared into my eyes, as we danced round and round. His electric blue eyes were glowing in a familiar light and they looked ethereal. I was entranced and I felt myself connecting with his soul.I didn't want this feeling, I hated the fact that I had to feel this way because we were mates, after all, there was no other explanation for this. I wanted to break off, to stop the dance but I couldn't, instead I found myself sinking deeper and deeper into the feeling. It was wonderful.For the first time, I didn't need to be so strong, I felt like I could share all of my burdens and I could finally let go. I felt free. I never even knew I had been feeling suffocated by all that had been going on.I stared into Lucien's eyes and for a moment, I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be able to feel this way forever. Maybe I should just take him as my mate? But I couldn't trust him, or could I?I was lost and confused and I didn't know what to do so instead, I de

    Avery's povI stood in front of the mirror with Isabella beside me. I turned left and right to check myself out, I looked different but the same. I was dressed in a beautiful black kimono with red patterns and my hair was styled in a Japanese bun.Under my kimono, I wore a black singlet and black ripped jeans with a pair of black heeled boots. I had a meeting to attend and I wanted to put in a dress that granted me as much freedom as possible when fighting.It had been a week after my coronation ball and after I announced about the quest, the rest of the ball had ended not long after. After a lot of pressuring from those old foggies, my father finally gave in and decided to postpone my coronation until after I've gotten an alpha.Today, I was going to tell them all about the quest I had in mind. I was angry at those old fools but I kept it in. My father has told me that it was assured that I would be his heir and I don't have to rush but it wasn't that I was in a rush to be his heir,

    Avery's pov I looked at the faces of all those present, I knew all of them wanted me for one reason or the other. Either for power, for influence, for personal reasons or for the sake of it and I knew that I had to pick from one of them. But I wasn't going to make it easy on any of them, they will have to claw their way to get to me.I studied their faces, just like the elders, I wanted them to know that I was no pushover. It wasn't necessary anyway, I could take down most of the alphas in here. I cleared my throat then I began to talk,“Today, we've all gathered here for one reason and that is that all of you present are interested in becoming my alpha. I have a lot of suitors and for this reason, I have decided to hold a competition of sorts where the winner takes me as a prize.”I studied their faces as I spoke, I took in every information possible. Their reactions, their subtle body movements and every other thing that granted me more access to their minds. I was already judging

    Lucien's POVI watched as Avery spoke, my eyes were entirely focused on her. All of her words entered my mind even without me consciously paying attention to them and I found myself lost in a sort of trance. She looked domineering today and I felt a funny feeling in my stomach. As an alpha, I should have been offended or at least a bit put off by the fact that she was domineering.It should have been like a challenge to my authority but I didn't mind, instead, I found myself wanting to take a step down and let her take the reins. It felt like I was better at supporting her from the shadows instead of ruling. She was my queen and I was the loyal knight.As she talked, I could hear the subtle whispers of the alphas around me but I paid them no mind. Avery was right, a lot of these people wouldn't even last long. I felt thrilled to participate in this event, Avery had made it clear that it wasn't going to be easy but I was fine by that.I was going to win this competition and no one was

    Lucien's Pov Walking down the aisle was one thing I never imagined I would do. The thought of walking down a path lined with roses and a red carpet, and holding someone in my arms beside me that I promised to love and care for, seeming like a foreign concept. It felt weird to think that I had finally been humbled. And that I had finally been brought to my knees to consider love as anything more than erotic pleasure. It still felt strange to me that I had actually gotten here. To this point? And a part of me really felt proud.I never thought I would get here and I never thought I would actually get married… I had feared I would end up living and dying as hedonistic. But I guess miracles happen, and this just happened to be mine. I was happy even though I was a bit confused and tepid. I looked courageous and smug but I was still scared internally. I feared my old habits would come back to haunt me. And I worried I wouldn't be the best husband for Avery… She was a beautiful soul and ho

    Avery's PovTwo months later The crowd had gathered for the festivities and the courtyard was full of life. The entirety of Silverwood had been called for this occasion and everyone with ears had heeded the call. The streets were lined with people, stalls and activity. Musicians filled the streets with instruments and sounds. Some of the stalls filled with ale and the people were aloof and afloat. Food was bountiful. As steaks rolled over fires and men sold rottiserie chicken and smoked seasoned salmon over counters. The energy all around contagious. No single soul lost or sad or broken. Everyone, irrespective of class or status had come and were happy. All needs were met and all wants provided. It had been two months now and the town of Silverwood had gone from chaos and fighting to peace and tranquility. The people had reached a calm and began rebuilding. The torn ties, the distrust and the loss. The grieving families had been supported and helped to move on. Everyone was slowly an

    Luciens's PovI held her in my hands and I just couldn't contain the feeling. The rush of energy I felt inside and the lightness in my head. Her body was soft and her motion was gentle. I held her close and she sighed quietly; her soft moans driving me crazy as we held each other. I didn't know I could feel this way. And I didn't know I could feel so in love. The state I was in wasn't one of lust or to have her in bed. I held her in my arms now and the only thing I wanted was to have her there. The only thing I wanted was to hold her close and hold her forever…Avery was everything and Avery was beautiful. Her hands around me as she tried to sink into my skin. I could feel her getting closer and edging closer. I could feel her wanting to close the gap and want to be near me. I could feel her energy matched mine and that she wanted me as much as much as I wanted her. The sparks lighting up and almost written in the skies. I really didn't want to let go but I had to. I didn't really wan

    Avery's PovI woke up now in a gasp. My breathing heavy as I glanced in every direction frantically. I shot out of the chair or bed or whatever I was resting on and got up to my feet. I turned every which way, my eyes swinging from one side of the room to another. Then shooting up to the ceiling to see if what I had seen in my dream wasn't a dream. And if it had been real…It felt too real not to be and I deeply hoped it wasn't just hallucinations. As I looked up at the ceiling to find the carved statuettes but instead I saw a blank ceiling made of wood. I looked around for the white dress. With the veil and the mannequin? But I saw nothing. And now I quickly turned to look for Lucien. To see him maybe in the suit I had seen him in. To see his hair, and to see him smiling wide at me the way I had seen him. With the box in his hand. To hear his voice and hear him explain how he wanted to marry me. And how he had made plans for the wedding. And all he needed was a yes…But I turned arou

    Avery's PovI woke up confused and I didn't know where I was at first. I struggled to open my eyes and also to keep my vision steady. My eyes opening slowly like curtains and my body feeling weird between my legs. I felt a sharp pain in my hips and I could feel my thighs quake slightly. I looked down at myself to see that I was in robes?... I looked up and I didn't recognise where I was. The room in front of me is different from the one I remembered. The design different from the room I last saw myself in. The windows were wide and open, the curtains were drawn to the sides to let in light. And I found myself on a bigger bed. The sheets very soft and delicate in my hands as I rested on it with my palm, turning my head sideways trying to figure out where I was.“Rise and shine princess…” I suddenly heard a voice call. And I frowned and turned slowly. My head still hurting slightly and my legs strangely weak and tired. I managed to complete the turn and I was surprised to see Lucien stan

    Stella's PovIt just didn't feel right… and it just didn't make any sense. Yet it was all my reality… After all these years of hatred. To only come to realise I was hating my own blood?... That I was hating what I was supposed to love, and loving what I was supposed to hate?... The thought of being abused and used without even realising it made me shiver. I had been lied to so long and so well I couldn't even tell the difference. The lines between what was real and what was false blurring together into one vague absolute. I just couldn't believe the wool had been pulled over my eyes for so long. I had been blinded and led like a sheep and I thought I knew what I was doing? I thought I was right? I thought I was fighting for a good cause?... That my intentions were justified, and the allies were the enemies while the real enemies were actually the allies. I had gone against sensible reason and veered off wildly, and now it made me question my own self?... To believe that I was this

    Lucien's PovI pulled out as she convulsed and came all over everything. The sheets and her dress was soaking wet and her hands by her side with her mouth open in a gentle sigh. She had quickly reached climax in just a few strokes and I wondered if I was that good or she was just very invested in the moment? Or even worse, she was just faking it?... I climbed off and let her lie there. I buckled my belt back in place and released a sigh myself. The moment short but the feeling mutual. Avery was a beautiful being, and down there she was tight. I was surprised at how I flowed through in and out seamlessly. Each stroke leaving her moaning loudly and gasping in short bursts. Her body jerking at every motion, her fingers gripping my legs, trying to hold on, and trying not to pass out. Trying not to let the rush send her unconscious. Her moans soon turned into cries, her eyes wet as it was seemingly too much for her. I wanted to stop but each time she moaned I only went deeper. Her cries ac

    Avery's PovI was glad I had seen this coming. I was happy to have seen this beforehand and prevented it. As the guards came in now just at the exact moment. The guards came in now just at the exact time Lucien would have been deep inside me and too far gone to cover up and rationalise. I was happy I held myself accountable; and held myself accountable for both our reputations…As the two guards now stood at the door with several clothes in hand, all of them folded and all of them in the shape of dresses. With different colours and different designs. I stood there frowning in confusion as they stood with their hands out and their waist slightly bent in a saluted pose. Their chins raised and their heads high.“We have brought the clothes sire…” The leading guard called. “The one you asked for, for the benevolent lady of yours…”And the guards tone surprised me. His aggressive voice had gone down a baritone lower. And he now sounded more like a butler than a guard. And the way he talked

    Avery's PovI held his hand and he closed his eyes again. This time relaxing and not trying to pull away. He let my palm touch his and then closed his eyes. The exchange of energy making him ease into calm and his legs suddenly twitch. I saw his feet move slightly and then again. Before he opened his eyes and then let go. Immediately moving himself forward and getting out of bed, standing on his feet and turning around. “Being paralysed is a curse really…” he smiled, staring directly at me. His perfect teeth showing in full view. He looked suddenly refreshed and revitalised. The look on his face far from someone who was just sick.I smiled back at him not knowing what else to do. I watched him spin on his heels and click his feet in a hopscotch. He had suddenly lost his stern austerity and now was as giddy as a horse… “Are you okay Alpha?...” I asked now, frowning with my head down slightly. But he only turned towards me with his smile growing bigger. “Never been better, and thank
