After telling the Wulfric siblings everything, I felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off me. It had been two weeks since I told them I wanted to visit my mother. Surprisingly, they all insisted on coming with me if Tai tried anything. Everything is well. I talk to my mother every day; it's the best feeling. I miss her so much. Tomorrow, we are going to Bogota to see her soon. I was surprised when the siblings agreed to it and decided to come with me, "te extrañé " "I missed you too, my Ava," Mom says. I look back at Nikolas, and he smiles, waving from over there, but goes back to look at the water. "Creo que estoy enamorado," I smile, glancing at Nikolas. Indeed, I am in love with this man. "I can tell, finally, something good is happening in your life, my baby," she says. I want to explode with all the beautiful sensations every time we are close or when his fingers graze any part of me, even if it's unknowingly. It takes that bit of contact to set my world ablaze. "O
After burying my mother in the family cemetery, we came back to Crescent City, home, my new home. The siblings have been very supportive, but I don't like being around anyone now. I keep thinking about how we found my mother. I look at the pictures the siblings managed to collect. They even got some of my mother's jewelry for me. I feel profound sadness as I look at the diamond necklace she wore for my sixteenth birthday. She was so happy that day—she always was. " Hey, love," I look up at the door. Nikolas is leaning against the door frame, looking handsome in a black suit. He looks like he's from work. I sigh, looking back at my family's pictures in the book. Nikolas walks closer, frowning, and gets on one knee before my feet, holding my big belly. " How are you today?" he whispers, caressing the belly. I look at him curiously. "You can feel it too, right?" he continues. "Your mummy's sadness?" Hearing him say that makes me sob. I bring my fingers to touch his hair softly.
Two Months Later I'm due in just two weeks. A lot has happened in these months. I opened my small business, and it's doing abundantly well. More people showed up to the opening than I thought because of Aurora's recommendation on her social platforms. I had just left the cafe to visit Troy at his house, but unfortunately, he wasn't home, so I started to walk back to my cafe. It had been drizzling the whole day, so the weather was lovely and cool. I used the tunnels so that I didn't get soaked. I'm too engrossed in leaving a message for Troy when a man figure jumps in front of me. I back away slowly, my eyes scanning the tunnels. It is when I notice I'm all alone. "You're coming with us," the man says through gritted teeth. " No," I say, still backing away. I try to act brave, but my heart is racing in fear. I don't even know these two men in my presence. Could they be Mario's men or one of Nikolas' enemies? Sweet Jesus, help me. "Leave me alone," I growl, making myself tall so
The whole way home, I keep thinking about my discussion with Xavier, everything, the king is nice to talk to and how did our conversation just flow naturally? Nothing was forced and there was no awkwardness between us, he felt like a friend I've known for a long time now. King Xavier, a friend. Nikolas stops at a nice restaurant to have dinner and as usual, he ordered steak and veggies, while I had a salad and chicken, lately, I've been loving it, I sigh pushing the plate away once I'm done." Do you want anything else?" He asks still looking at his phone, I shake my head, he's been on the phone since we got here, girl needs some attention here!He finally looks up at me with a kind small smile." I am fine, I want apple juice," he nods as I drink my favorite juice but his concentration is back on phone again, I wonder why it's keeping him so busy.I take this chance to study his features, everything about him is just right, and the maker did make him to perfection. He loosens his ti
We didn't enter the house because Nikolas forgot some important documents that needed to be reviewed so I tagged along. “Angry?” he asks raising his eyebrow but his eyes are still fixed on the road. I hated that he just dismissed me like that earlier, he should know better that am as curious as a cat in nature, and I don't easily let things go. Drop it he said, I let out a deep sigh and look out the window. “ what do you think,” he smiles but doesn’t comment just I look outside the window once more opening it because I suddenly feel so hot in here but he rolls it back up making me retreat. I don’t utter a word.The drive is odd and I turn on the radio to his car, maybe we need some music‘ and I’ll always love you‘ and I wish you joy and happiness but above of this I wish love,' we both reach out to turn it off but our fingers touch, the small contact sends shivers down my spine, and we both retreat abruptly as if the touch torched yet it made my heart flutter.‘ sweet memories are
Nikolas PovI think my wolf chose you, I finally told her. Alec always gets so excited whenever She is close, he doesn't sulk or snarl at any little thing I do, at first, I thought this bond with the human was because of the child she's carrying, my child, but no, it's all her. The first time I felt Alec happy was at the airport in Colombia when the human was running away from those men, my wolf's joy for the unfamiliar girl was strange, I hadn't spoken in more than a year and the first word he uttered was wow, strange human. I froze when I heard his voice in my head, thinking it was a dream.He and I drifted apart when Loren died, I refused to believe it and shut down, leaving him to bear the pain alone. I was a coward but Loren was my soulmate, my family.But then this frail woman, a human, so pure and untainted soul, swayed herself into my life, without any warning, she came close to me, slowly started to create a place in life and heart, I ignored her, I hated that my wolf would o
I can't find a better position to sleep in or sit in. I get up from bed and pace around the room when the door opens. I smile as my eyes meet Nik's beautiful ones. Lately, he works at home to watch over me." Hey, love," he greets. I turn away blushing a bit as my eyes sway to his bare torso." Hi baby daddy," That's what I call him these days and he likes it." I am going to go to bed, do you need anything?" He asks. " No, Good night," I say. " Hmm," he tilts his neck a bit to look at me " No foot massage today? Um ok.." he turns to leave but I stop him" Wait!" I call, and he slowly turns like he was expecting me to do that." Well, am not saying I want a good massage but if you insist," I say quietly and he chuckles, shaking his head." Well, I don't insist," he crosses his arms over his chest, I huff loudly and sit on a bed with a pout like a kid, acting pitiful." I haven't found a good position to sleep or sit in lately, and I feel tired of every little thing... And someone w
I try to breathe in and out but my heart is pounding very fast. I close my eyes trying so hard to stay calm.I feel hands stroking my hair gently." You will be fine, I'm here," says Daniella's soft voice in my ear. I'm scared but it makes me feel better. I slowly open my eyes and everyone is looking very worried. Nikolas is confused and disturbed. I open my hand to him, and he slowly takes it. I expected to be in so much pain but I'm not." Let's begin," the doctor announces.Nikolas' hand tightens around mine, and I look at him for a long time"Can you wait?" Requests Daniella to the doctor but I shake my head, I can't hold it, it's coming and the contractions are getting unbearable." My back," I complain." Are you in so much pain?" Asks doctor Amos. " I can bear it," I answer quietly.... " It's time," my legs are already spread as the doctors and nurses come closer to me, my hand gripping Nikolas' wrist." Push Ava, remember what we learned," I try to push once, but the bab
The heat lasted longer than I thought and my mate was with me because it made the pain tolerable but it was hard for him not to take me right there. He fulfilled his promise to make love to me for a whole week once I was physically and emotionally ready. A few weeks later he marked me and initiated me into his pack, now I'm the official Luna of the Silverblue moon pack. I even go to charity events, do official pack work, and attend meetings. I spend some time at the Cafe since business is booming, just last week, I was being interviewed by some magazine company. I look at the man next to me and stroke his hair. I study his features carefully, damn, he's so handsome. " You're staring," Nikolas' sexy says. " Yes," my cheeks flush. He smiles but his eyes are still closed. I press my lips against his and greet him. "Good morning," he opens his eyes and swiftly gets on top of me, he looks into my eyes for a long time before devouring my lips then he answers. " Happy Sunday to you
Nikolas invites me in and I do." Mama!" My daughter runs down the stairs, happy to see me. I smile and hug her tightly into my arms." Tell me everything," immediately, Amber begins to indulge me about what happened since I was away. My eyes bulge at her words" You watched a movie with who?" I growl, making the little girl flinch, fuck, I didn't want to scare her" Diana!" She smiles. I narrow my gaze at Nikolas but he looks away, pretending to look at the Tv. " You guys watched a movie and went out?" I inquire again, and my daughter nods." Daddy came with us," she adds, I'm fuming right now, I'm mad!" Anything you want to say?" I ask Nik, he scratches the back of his head awkwardly." It was just an innocent date, the movie was premiering and Diana took her son as well," he shrugs. I raise my eyebrows, how is it innocent when they spend so much time together" Innocent," I repeat." Mama, I have new drawings!" Amber says." Are you upset?" Nikolas asks but I ignore him and turn
Nikolas places a kiss on my neck gently, caressing my flat stomach with his fingers" I love you," he whispers.His kisses are gentle and sweet, they feel so good but a shiver goes down my body as I remember how Mario violated me weeks ago, I can't do this I feel so dirty and unworthy. I push him away shaking my head. He frowns, coming close but I take steps away from him." Please don't," I breathe in and it hurts me so much, Nikolas is looking at me with longing in his eyes. I tug my hair in annoyance, why do I feel this way? I gaze at Nikolas again, his expression shows confusion and worry, he loves me and he wants to be with me but I just can't and I don't think I will be so I need to do what's best for him" I want to leave," I blurt, I need some time away from them, I'm not in my right mind.' No you're not!' chimes my wolf, gosh, she irritates me. She will hate me but I need to do this.Nikolas' eyes are whether in shock or fear I don't know." Please... Ava... don't do this," h
My eyes eased open and they adjust to the familiar room. My feelings are heightened now, and I can see and hear everything. " I have a wolf," I grumble, and she is snarling and calling me weak like she has been doing lately, I shake my head.' Please, stop,' I rush to turn off the light in the room. I like it better this way. The light is too bright it hurts my eyes.' let's go to mate,' she says. It's been like this since she made her appearance, always fighting for control. She's everything I'm not. She's strong, and I'm weak but I fight her to not take control, I know once she does, she won't give it back.' you're so weak,' she snarls.' shut up,' I retort. I hold my head as she back away to the darkest part of my mind.I close my eyes and lie on the bed as tears roll down my cheek, I can't, I can't do this, I'm not a werewolf material, I didn't grow up to this, everyone here was taught how to live with a counterpart, they were born to be strong wolves and I wasn't.I don't hate
Everything is going crazy, Mario is pacing around the room as he cusses in Spanish" Damn it!"I sit up and run to the window. There are men everywhere, running out as others take out different weapons from the cars. Norris is giving out orders." I'll kill him, I'll fucking kill Nikolas," Says Mario." How the fuck did he find us?" He opens the drawers and gets two guns. I flinch when he points it at me." Back away from the window and unto the bed," he orders, I hesitate but do as he says. As I said, I don't want to die. Now that Nikolas is here, there is a chance I can leave alive." How many, Norris," Mario asks. As he throws a chain on the bed." Many, let's just evacuate. Too many wolves, boss," he answers. I smile wickedly and he sneers." Don't get too excited, you won't see him," and to Norris, he says." Get the chopper ready, but we'll kill as many as we can,"My heart is pounding relentlessly. Mario ties me to the bed. I try to wiggle out of the chains binding me.I see h
When we reach the estate, Mario drags me from the car by my arm.He keeps cussing in multiple languages as we walk.Once inside a huge living area, he pushes me In and I stumble, falling on my ass."Loco," I groan, picking myself up. Mad man in Spanish."Maldita perra," he sneers, angrily choking me and hitting my head against the wall. He is breathing like an animal. "Three years, three fucking years I've been looking for you and you were playing wife and mother for Nikolas Wulfric?" He slaps me across my face. I chuckle that it took him this long. He sees my triumph face, he slaps me again.I stagger almost falling but I find my balance thanks to the table." Look at me," he orders and I oblige. My eyes roam at his scar, it's large and ugly, I didn't know I cut him so deep and part of his neck has a scar as well. I feel like a monster but I remind myself what he did to me and all the sad emotions dissipate. He got what he deserved." Let me leave," I say but he begins to chuckle v
Dina Pov"It's miss Ava," he grins like he won an award." Even better," he whispers." Norris, what's the plan? The boss said we get both his queen and the alpha's child," Asks one of the men. Norris thinks for a while, looking at the child. Did I give her too much medicine, why is she still asleep? RING. A harsh ringing of the phone jolts my thoughts" Hello," I answer. " Oh thank goodness, Dina, are you alright? Where's my daughter? How is she?" She asks all at the same time. I look at Norris and then Derick who nods," Where are you, Ma'am?" I ask quietly, she sighs in frustration." What do you mean where am I? I should be asking you!" She snaps, " I left my daughter with you and they are telling me you kidnapped her? Dina, please tell me where you are," She cries. " Why did you take her from the house without informing anyone?" Norris gestures for me to say something but I can't understand. I take the phone from my ear"Ella esta sola," he says. I furrow my eyebrows." He wan
I get up from the bed abruptly, rushing to get my discarded clothes on the floor and put them on. " What do you mean she's gone?" I question in a shaky voice. Nikolas explains that Amber and Dina are nowhere near the property but how is it possible that no one saw them leave the mansion? This is a joke, a fucking sick one." I thought they were in the garden because Amber likes it there but one of my men said they weren't there... They are not on the property, love," He says, conflict clear in his eyes as he paces around agitatedly." Maybe they went out for ice cream," I look at the clock on the wall, it's past ten already, who goes out this time? It's unlike Dina to do that." I will kill her," Nik growls, exiting the room and I go after him." Do you think they were taken by force? Maybe she took her out for some air and -" I hear Justin's distant voice."No, there is no sign of struggle, sir, the nanny has kidnapped the child," says Don, looking worriedly at the tablet in his han
As usual, family dinner was delightful, the whole family was here for dinner today. We watch all of them get into cars with their mates, I sigh audibly as my mate comes to me with a smile, taking my hand as he escorts me in. " You look extra beautiful tonight," he sighs as we walk away, a few maids we meet bow with smiles as we walk past them." When don't I?" I respond cockily, I learned that from him. He holds me tighter to me, yes I do feel beautiful in my tight backless black dinner dress." I've missed you lately," he says sounding like a kid, I haven't seen him for three days since he went away for a meeting in Canada. I longed for his touch so bad, craved it like a drug a junky craves badly. I was the junky and he was the drug I couldn't get. I felt like suffocating without him. It's a good thing I had Amber, my other drug. We go to his study and he closes the door behind him and goes to seat on his chair. I walk to him and massage his shoulder before going back to the sofa an
