Ava's POV

"I don't care. I won't sit back and watch you suffer. No!" Stan bawled, and I couldn't help the giggles that escaped my lips on hearing him say this. He just came to see me this evening and after some gists, he began to say all this like he was my knight in shining armor.

"Will you disobey the Alpha just to help me?" I asked with raised brows, and there was silence as he took deep breaths, shutting his eyes and biting his lips.

"You see, the last thing I ever want is to put anyone into trouble. I also like you and appreciate all your kindness, but there are things that are above our power!" I added and hugged him warmly.

Just then, we heard a knock on the door, and that made him jump off of me in panic. I was also struck with fear that I couldn't even respond to the knock.

It came again, harder.

"Who is there?" I stuttered.

"Open this door!" The voice of Eric came in, and a heavy sigh of relief escaped my lips.

I walked over and opened the door only to see him carryin

    "Go check for yourself in the palace. Isn't he your father?" A maid chimed in, replying in a mocking manner. She was just interested in reminding me how pathetic I am. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I made my way to the palace. The first thing that caught my attention as I drew closer was the Beta scent, which was lingering in the air. "What could bring the Beta to the palace at this time of the night?" I mused as I drew closer to the door. If everything in my life was normal, I should have opened the palace door and walked in, but hell no, I had no guts to do that, so I just had to eavesdrop. "You mean your parents left for hunting and you haven't heard from them till now? This is strange." I could hear my father speaking to someone in a tender voice. "I am scared, especially as I have no idea what happened to my parents." The voice of Nana came in, and I flinched at what she had just said. "Nothing will happen to them. They went hunting and might have faced a little p

    Nana's POV She was entirely out of my sight before I could finally get back to the lost world I had drifted into. This was so shocking to be real, and even as I tried shoving it away, it kept getting more vague for my brain to understand. Just as Jaden had become so interested at the mention of Ava and went ahead to ask who she was, that was the exact way it had happened a few minutes ago. Ava also had that same expression and questioned me about Jaden with too much enthusiasm. This shouldn't be what I am thinking. It can never be that they are fated in any way, because that would be a big shame to me. "Fuck!" I cursed under my breath, puffing and huffing. I didn't even know when I kicked the wooden chair in front of me, shattering it into pieces as jealousy stirred up to its peak inside me. "Why are you worried?" My wolf, Vena, had to chip in after seeing how flustered I was. "You won't understand!!" I yelled back, jumping on the bed with a deep grunt. "You are really disturbin

    "You mean the same pack where Ava is staying?" I queried quickly, sitting up from the bed at an unusual speed. He nodded, and I found my legs reaching the ground and leading me to the bathroom. Maybe at that moment, my brain stopped working, because I didn't know when I took my bath and got dressed up. "Wow..." Carl exclaimed with wet eyes filled with emotions while watching me comb and perm my hair in front of the mirror. Just then, my brain began to work again, and I realized how stupid I had reacted once again over Ava. I turned to him with a forced frown. "My prince." He bowed with a cheesy smile. "I am not anxious to meet her. Stop overthinking and let's get going." I shrugged, knowing full well that my lie was useless. "Yes, my prince. Time to meet your ma...." I knocked his head playfully, but made sure it was hard enough to push the remaining word back into his mouth. "Now go and get whatever I am handing to them, I'll be waiting for you at the garage. Don't waste much

    It was like I was deprived of breathing, and I can't explain why. Just then, I heard the door make a clicking sound, showing it was unlocked, but I knew he must have left. The noise outside has died down, and it has been hours ago. "There is no need to open the door when he is gone already. I hate you all!!" I bawled in tears without turning, but just at that moment, I smelled the Lycan scent. Not only did I smell this most pleasant Lycan scent, which made my entire body shiver with a very sweet sensation waving through me from the inside. I spun around sharply, and all I was able to see was his gold wavy hair that just swayed through the air in a swift way. His speed was so extreme that I couldn't see his face before he swooze past the door and out of my room, shutting it back as it was. I left the bed and made to run after him, but couldn't take three steps forward before Nana walked into the room in a flurry of activity as her eyes wandered around. She looked so pained and scar

    Jaden's POV"You saw her?" That was the first question from Carl through mind link the moment I walked back into the palace, but I couldn't reply to him, so he wouldn't notice how my heart was racing."Are you done using the restroom?" The Alpha smiled at me, but I could only shrug."I am leaving." That was all I bluntly said in reply before turning and leaving just the way I had walked in. Carl left his chair, bowed to the Alpha, and followed me behind."Won't you wait a little longer for my daughter to return and escort you both out?" I heard what the Alpha suggested to Carl, and it forced out a deep grunt of anger inside me."Carl, if you dare agree to that, you are a goner!" Without looking back, I issued a warning via mind link."We are sorry, not today. The prince is eager to leave." Carl responded to him and scurried off, running to catch up with me.Just as I got to the porch ready to leave, Carl asked his first question again, and I had to take several deep breaths before I co

    Nana's POV It was so shocking that I initially thought it was a hallucination; even as I felt the burns from his slap, I couldn't believe it was real. He just slapped me because I touched him. Not only that, he drove away. I fell heavily on the ground from the force of his slap, yet he didn't care to check on me.The royal guards around the area rushed to check on me, but I could barely see them. Even as they succeeded in helping me up, I still couldn't say anything as I was totally dumb."What happened? Why were you on the ground?" I heard Ava's voice and turned sharply to see she was also among those who were helping me up, and that couldn't help pumping rage inside my heart."What are you doing here?!" I yelled and winced as my cheeks hurt more. She gave a confused look that irked me very much. The fact that she was seeing my red cheeks made me really ashamed.Had she seen him slap me?"I just came out and saw you on the ground, so I joined the guards to check on you." She replied

    My whole body froze as my blood ran cold on hearing what she just uttered. I would have laughed and seen it all as a joke if I hadn't seen her mean face and cold stare."I don't want to die!!" I cried in horror, flinging off the bottle I just drank the poison from. "Then, make Ava kill herself. Greater torture is the only way for her to end her life. Set her up with her father so he will punish her continuously. Imagine how great your life will be when you succeed. Jaden will be yours forever..." She teased, and I could only let out a deep breath, thinking about it all."I know it will be quite hard, so you have the weekend to prepare. From Monday, you can start. Ava won't be able to shift into her wolf, which will make her father hate her more and might even punish her too. Take that opportunity to request for Ava to be your personal slave." Aurora smirked again as she spilled those words."You will really make Jaden mine?" I inquired, recalling she had mentioned it earlier."It's a

    Ever since I heard Nana mention the name Jaden, I had felt something strange, which my brain found so hard to understand, and all my heart had longed for was the day I would set my eyes on him. I had heard a lot about having mates and that intense bond that pulls their hearts together like a string, but I had yet to have my first shift, so it was impossible to have a mate.Prince Jaden was someone I had never met before, but his name rang a bell in my head and heart, and I felt there was something about him that my entire being craved.It was so sudden, and I never imagined it would be at this moment. I didn't expect him to come in at this very moment when my heart is shattered in pain and intense guilt for the murder of Eric and Stan. Now that he was standing in front of me, looking straight at my face, I felt something I had never felt before. In my head, I had always imagined how cute he must look, but seeing him in reality made me realize how much I had failed in creating the rea

    Lucas I watched her sleep though it had not been induced of her own accord. Ryker had shortened her breath and brought her to me in my room. At first, when I saw her, I thought she was dead because of how limp she laid in his big arms. However, after he explained the lengths he had to go to ensure he returned with her, I took her from him and placed her where she belonged; beside me in my bed. Since then, sleep deserted me, rendering me a guard over her. I threaded her hair between my fingers, combing gently and letting the soft tresses slide away. Her scent was light as she was unconscious but once she was awake, it would fill the air with its mouthwatering vanilla aroma. Her clothes were dirty from wherever she had been, dry clumps of dirt gluing to various areas of the dress. It was ruined for sure and eventually, I had to take them off her to prevent her from developing a rash. Undressing her came with its own difficulties. She would sigh occasionally in a sensual manner and my

    “I can't believe you chose Lucas over your freedom, Miatta,” Addy kept saying over and over again after I had sent Ryker away. The pesky bodyguard had seen me on my back from the path and had suggested that I came with him. “No,” I had said to him, not taking more than a minute to make up my mind. “The festivities are over and he no longer has a reason to keep me cooped up in his room. It will be best for all if I returned to the slave room where I belong.” He was not convinced by my act of martyrdom but knowing Ryker, I was confident that he would not force me to do anything I didn't want to. He respected me not just as his master’s mate but as a person. He waited to see if I would change my mind but instead, I walked around him and continued on the route I had earlier set out. Lucas would not be pleased with him but I tried not to think about how Lucas was feeling. Bringing my roaming thoughts to the present, I saw disappointment boldly written on Addy’s face. I was disappointed

    Miatta “You can't be serious, Miatta! You want to turn back now? Think about what you are about to do!” Ramona admonished at the top of her voice. I pulled her into the shadows and slapped my palm onto her mouth. “Unless you want to be caught and dragged back to that land of bondage, I suggest you lower your tone and listen to me!” She swallowed twice, her eyes damp and became calm. When I was sure she would not break down in tears, I lifted my palm off her lips and gave her my back. I couldn't explain the feeling I was having but I just couldn't leave Red Bone Pack. My heart was there, lying asleep in the woods while my body was planning on leaving. It just didn't seem right. “Once I get you over the mountains, you will go on without me. Don't look back, don't think about this land, about Addy or me. I will be fine. Stick to the shadows and when it is dawn, run as fast as your legs can carry you. You are a wolf and you can easily find your way once you channel your senses in the

    Miatta By the time I returned to the path, I was exhausted from running all the way. My lungs were screaming at me for exercising that hard and I had to stop myself twice from falling on my face. I was still far from the secret passage and I pushed on, using my honed abilities anywhere the moonlight could not reveal to me. My conscience stabbed at me with every step I took and I starved it by thinking less of what I had done and more on what I was about to do. I would be home sooner than I ever anticipated since arriving at Red Bone Pack and I wasn't going to let my nosy, star-stricken wolf ruin it for me. Suddenly, I heard a mild rustling of leaves from somewhere behind me and I froze in place. My mind raced to conclusion that perhaps Lucas had not been sleeping after all and had trailed behind me. I gulped through a tight throat and held my breath, crouching into a squat. Whoever it was, I was determined not to be discovered. The footsteps drew closer and I peeped from where I was

    Miatta Lucas dropped into a crouch, bones snapping and rearranging within him. His shifting phase looked painful yet intriguing, drawing attention to the spectacle. Thick sheaves of hair grew out on his neck and back and he howled long into the night. It caused shivers down my spinal column as I marveled at his animalistic beauty. Suddenly, he leapt off the ground, somersaulted in mid-air and landed gracefully on all fours. His clothes were in shreds at his feet and I stood in quiet adoration. His wolf had ink-black, almost oily fur, covering him from his head to his powerful paws. He sniffed at something in the air and turned his head towards me in expectation. His eyes were darker and mystic, compelling me to do anything he asked. In either form, he was a sight to behold and I was proud he was mine, all mine. As shifters, our eyes represented the colour of our fur. The eyes were the window to the soul and our animals were our soul. Without them, one was condemned to a unfulfilled

    Miatta The festival night was heated and the excitement filled the air. Mated couples sat next to each other, necking and flirting openly while the single ones hoped for a match from the Goddess. Slabs of meat were served starting from the royal household and later, it was distributed amongst the pack. Even the slaves got a bit of everything though it wasn't in large amounts like those of the freeborns. Lucas gave me no excuses to leave his sight and was super clingy throughout the night. He decided he wanted to feed me himself and I obliged him to take any suspicions off me. He was charming and the little he knew, the better for both of us. However, I couldn't help searching the crowd for Addy. It was almost time for the free run and I had not set my eyes on either she or Ramona. My wolf was itching for action and I could feel her nipping at my guts. The lunar sensation was getting to her and I had to get away before I was pushed off by her. Our empty meal bowl lay at my side and

    Miatta My visiting hour was up and I escorted Addy and her group back to the dark room. She pulled me in for a final hug and whispered shortly in my ear: “Do not forget your promise to me.” She had asked for my word and I had given it selflessly. Addy had never asked anything of me in the past and now that she had, I didn't want to let her down. Ramona was coming with me by nightfall. There was to be a wolf run and during that period, every shifter was free to do what he pleased, slave or freeborn. Many found their mates on the day of the Moon Festival while others just mingled sexually for the fun of it, a one-night only orgy. It was at that time when everyone was distracted that I planned to leave with Ramona. On my way back, shadows had fallen along my path, protecting me from the harsh sunlight. The weather was not hot however as chilly winds clashed with each other. Goosebumps were aligned on my upper arm and I rubbed my relatively warm palms along them. I mentally made plan

    Mood SwingsMiatta “You bathed the Lycan Prince?” Ramona exclaimed, her eyes large in wonder. I grimaced, attempting a shy smile while Addy burst into laughter. “Well, he didn't give me a choice!” I retorted, wanting to defend myself. They were on garden duty but I sat with Addy, reminiscing the past events of the week. They were on garden duty but I was in a shade, discussing with Addy from there. Ramona chopped unevenly at the flowers, reminding me of the first time I had done the job. Lucas had come to my aid but then, he had been Luke to me. Subconsciously, a smile grew on my lips, my protest forgotten. “Someone is thinking of someone special,” Addy teased, using her shears skillfully like they were an extension of her arms. She was just so capable at everything, the shifter version of perfection. She juggled her brows at me, not losing sight of the shrub she was trimming. When I nodded in Ramona's direction, she twisted her neck at her understudy and gasped in horror. “Ramona

    Miatta After my bath with Lucas, I began to give more thought to returning home. I loved Lucas truly but I loved my family first. They meant the world to me and I had to see them again even if it was for the last time. Lucas was uncharacteristically quiet, giving me more time to ponder my plans. “What do you think about Beta Logan?” he suddenly asked, taking me by surprise. I didn't know why he was asking me about the sneaky lycan and so, I was unsure of what answer to give him. Personally, Beta Logan made me uncomfortable in my own skin but I couldn't tell Lucas that because it would lead to him asking more questions. “I think he is very loyal to your father.” With my back to him, I heard rather than saw Lucas approach me from behind. He tugged on my arm, pulling me onto a stool. I didn't resist him, going along with whatever he wanted. He pinched the bridge of his nose, meditating on whatever he was about to say. “Cut the crap, Miatta. I asked you what you think of him as he i
