"What did you think killed it? Do you have any idea? Did you find any clue?" Ava asked."None, we are thinking of contacting Dreya." Ryder told her."Dreya? What if he says no?" Ava asked, trying to distract Ryder from contacting Dreya."We have already contacted him so it's up to him if he decides to come or not." Jayden told her.Ava turned around to look at him in shock."You already contacted him?" she asked in dismay.Before Jayden could give her a response, Dreya appeared in the study."This better be a matter of life and death." he muttered."Hello to you too Dreya." Ryder said."Why did you summon me?" Dreya asked impatiently."We found something strange in our forest and we have no idea what caused it. We were hoping you could shed more light on it." Ryder informed him."You summoned me from my coven just to tell me that you need me to shed more light on something?" Dreya asked, looking at Ryder in contempt."Look, just come look at it and then you can decide for yourself how
"So you want to take Ryder from Ava, you know that she is his mate right?" Lily asked."I am aware but mate bonds can always be broken? It's a very simple matter""What if your plan backfires?" Lily asked trying to dissuade Claudia from her evil plan.Claudia flashed a evil grin at Lily. "See, that's where we are different, unlike you, I make good plans and my plan never backfires."Claudia stood up, she waved at Lily. "See you later sweetie. Don't get into trouble."She smiled at Lily and left the house. Lily relaxed on the bed with a troubled sigh, she hoped Claudia's plan didn't bring trouble to Ryder...........................Today was the day, Ava was scheduled to go to Salvatore. She got up early and got ready before leaving with the witch assigned to her.As soon as she entered the palace, she instructed a servant to tell Evena that she wanted to see him as soon as possible. And then, she headed to the throne room to see the queen."How have you been dearest niece?" the queen
The queen sighed in annoyance before addressing the both of them."Something like this should never happen again. I am to know every and anything that happens in this palace, is that understood?" she asked the both of them."Yes, your highness." Evena answered."Yes Aunt." Ava answered."Now, concerning this matter, Ava, have you told Ryder about this?" the queen asked."No, I haven't. I don't know he is going to react." Ava answered.The queen gave her a strange look."How is he going to answer, he is your mate. He knows that you are half vampire, so why won't he be okay with this? Or is that you doubt his love for you?" she fired questions at Ava."Not at all Aunt. I know Ryder loves me and his love for me will never change. It's just that, I didn't tell him before drinking blood and coupled with the other secrets, I just felt strange telling him about this." Ava explained."Well you have to tell him, because the only way to control this thirst is to take blood regularly. With time,
"So you aren't disappointed in me?" Ava asked."Not at all my love. I could never be disappointed in you.""I wish Ryder would be this understanding." Ava said."Why do you feel, he wouldn't be understanding?" her father asked."He is the Alpha of a pack and I am supposed to be his perfect Luna. How is he supposed to tell people that his Luna is actually a vampire?""Half vampire." Her father corrected."It's still the same thing." Ava said.Her father reached out and held her hand, "Look sweetie, you have to trust in Ryder and the love that you two share, do you really see Ryder as the kind of person that would abandon you or despise you for something beyond your control?" her father asked."I don't know. I am scared.""Just trust him sweetie." her father said."I am also scared of giving birth." Ava confided in her father. "Why?""What if my children can't shift just like me too? How will my son be able to claim his right as Alpha of the pack?" Ava questioned. "Just calm down swee
Claudia sneaked back into her room.When she was alone, she sat on the bed and chuckled to herself.She had been looking for a way to get rid of Ava and have Ryder all to herself. Now, the solution had brought itself to her.No pack especially Fireblood pack with a bad history with vampires would accept a vampire as a Luna.All she had to do was find a way to expose Ava, she would lose the backing of the pack and be driven out. Ryder would then be left alone and vulnerable to her advances.She giggled evilly. This time her plan would work, she was sure of it.................Back in the kitchen, Helena was washing the dishes while Dustin helped her to dry them."So, what brings you here?" Helena asked."Ava wanted to tell Ryder something and I am just here for moral support." Dustin replied."You are a good dad" Helena complimented him."I try to be. I just want to be there for her to make up for all the secrets I kept from her." Dustin replied."So why don't you come more often?" He
Feyre was surprised by her father summons. Her father liked to pretend she generally didn't exist.Nevertheless she dressed up and headed to his palace.On getting there, she was ushered to his throne room."Father" she bowed to him."Hello Feyre." he replied."You sent for me father?" Feyre questioned."Yes I sent for you.""Why Father? Is there anything you wanted?""I think you should know better than anyone else what I want Feyre.""I have no idea Father.""Liar!!!" the king yelled in anger, he threw the cup in his hand at her which she dodged deftly."Please calm down Father" Feyre tried to calm him down."I should calm down Feyre? I told you to kill that baby girl Freya gave birth to for that dog, did you kill her?" he asked angrily."I... I... I" Feyre stammered in fear. Normally she was a composed person, but in front of her father, she went back to being a timid person."You what Feyre? Did you kill the child, yes / no?". The king asked again."No, I didn't." Feyre replied.
FIREBLOOD PACKLavender was sitting in living room watching TV when Claudia sat beside him."Hey Lavender." she greeted him."Hey Claudia." he replied."How are you doing?" she asked."I am okay, you?""I am fine.""So how are you enjoying your stay so far here?" Lavender asked her."It's fine, I have had a lot of fun. At least I can use technology here." Claudia replied."That's true. I am sure you are getting along with everyone right?" Lavender asked."I am. It's just...." Claudia trailed off unsure of how to continue."It's just what? What is it, you can tell me anything that troubles you." Lavender told her."I don't know, it might be nothing actually. Maybe I am just overthinking it." Claudia replied."I don't think so. Tell me whatever the problem is.""I feel Jayden doesn't like me or care about my presence here."Lavender looked at her strangely."What do you mean?" he asked."Jayden doesn't like me and his actions show me so. I have tried to be friendly to him. Yet he keeps b
Jayden dragged Lavender all the way till they got to his(Jayden's) room.He pulled him inside the room and locked the door before kissing him. He kissed him deeply for few minutes before releasing him."Okay, that was amazing" Lavender panted after he was released."I am glad I was able to please you." Jayden replied before going to sit on his bed.Lavender went to him and squatted in front of him, he took his hands and looked into his eyes."What's bothering you?" Lavender asked."Nothing." Jayden sulked."Are you sure?""Yes.""So why are you pouting?""I am not pouting."Lavender reached out and loosened his belt before unzipping it."What are you doing?" Jayden asked."Nothing" Lavender replied.He reached into Jayden's pants and brought out his soft cock which quickly hardened to his touch.He gave it a few strokes,"Der!" Jayden moaned.Lavender looked up at him and smirked before taking the cock into his mouth.Jayden groaned and gripped his hair to urge him to go faster.Lave
FIREBLOOD PACK"Ryder, we sent her away. and cut off all contact for her safety, we can't contact her, we are still being watched by the council. The best thing we can do for her now is to trust in your aunt and your uncle and have trust in her too." Ava told Ryder comfortingly as she stroked his hair."Ava, do you think I failed my family?" Ryder asked her."Of course not, why would you think such a thing?""Well I was the reason my younger brother ran away from home as a teenager and now my pregnant younger sister is away from home and I don't know where she is and how she is.""Ryder, you did the best you could do and I am sure Lavender and Lily know that." Ava replied him.Ryder smiled, Ava always knew how to reassure him anytime he felt this way."Thanks for always knowing the right things to say. I love you so much Ava.""I love you too Ryder." she stood up and pulled him up as well."Let's go eat lunch." she told him, he nodded and allowed himself to be pulled away by her.THRE
CREEKWOOD PACKJax looked at himself in the mirror, he looked very different from how he looked before everything started. He had lost a lot of weight from his time in prison and his eyes looked haunted. Jax had changed and he knew deep in his soul that he had changed, he could only hope that he would be able to defend his pack and make them proud once more.There was a slight knock on the door."Come in" he answered.Dean walked in, he glanced at Jax worriedly, his Alpha looked so tired, he wished that he would be able to help Jax in a way that would be beneficial to him."Yes?" Jax prompted him after seeing him remain silent."The pack is ready for you Alpha." Dean told him."Thanks, let's go." Jax replied."Uhm shouldn't you eat something first, you look a bit weak." Dean said, worry apparent in his tone."I will be fine Dean, don't worry too much about me." Jax said with a smile on his face to ease Dean's worry."If you say so Alpha." Dean replied. "Let's go meet the pack." Jax s
A couple of months later "Push! Come on Lily you can do this." The midwife urged Lily. Lily tried her best but the pain was too much, it felt like her whole body was being torn up from inside."Lily, you can do this, I know that you can do this." her aunt pleaded with her.Lily groaned in pain as she tried to push the baby out. She was losing strength but she had to be brave for her innocent baby.In all her life, whenever Lily thought of when she would give birth to her first child, she had never imagined that she would be alone, hated by her mate, banished from her pack and family.She was currently leaving with some human relatives and she would have to live as one and train her child as one too.She grit her teeth as she pushed the baby out.The sound of the baby cries filled the room."It's a boy!" the midwife announced as she lifted the baby up.Lily sat up in bed, already she could feel her injuries healing and the pain fading away.The midwife handed her the baby, she cuddle
Ryder went up to Ava and kissed her on her neck and wrapped his hand around her waist.Ava turned around and hugged him."I am so sorry." she apologized again to him."I am even more sorry, I shouldn't have gone angry on you. It wasn't your fault at all."Ava leaned up and kissed him."I love you Ryder.""I love you too Ava.""We are sorry too Ryder." Jayden and Lavender apologized."It's okay, I forgive you too. But we are going to sit and talk more about the relationship between you two.""Lets eat breakfast now, can we?" Evena asked.They all sat down to eat breakfast.As they were eating a sentry came into the room."Alpha, miss Lily is outside and she seeks an audience."They all stood up in shock, "Lily?"They went outside to meet her."How dare you show your face around here?" Ryder asked."Calm down Ryder. I came because you are all in danger.""What do you mean by that?" Ava asked.Lily told them everything about Claudia and what she was planning. Unknown to Claudia, Lily did
Evena opened the door quickly and ushered Ava inside the room."please tell me you are joking." he told Ava. "I wish I was" Ava replied. She narrated everything that had happened that night to Evena."Wait a minute, Lavender and Jayden are seeing each other?" Evena asked."really? That's what you are concerned about?" Ava asked."I am just shocked, I never knew grumpy Jayden had it in him" Evena defended himself."Well he does and that's not the matter at hand now, Ryder knows that you are here and he knows about the deal you made with my aunt, I wonder the plan he has cooked up already in his anger." Ava said worriedly."where is he now?" "I have no idea, he walked out on us and said he needed space""OK, first thing tomorrow, we will go back together and hopefully I would be able to talk sense into him."Ava sighed in relief."He is very mad at you, isn't he?" Evena asked."Yes, he looked so disappointed in me too.""Don't worry, I will make sure he knows that you didn't keep it
"What the fuck is going on here?" Ryder asked shocked.Lavender and Jayden separated from each other, very shocked to see Ryder home."Ryder, you are back?" Jayden stuttered in alarm."Yes, I am back. What the hell is going on here?" Ryder asked."Uhmm Ryder, I think you should calm down a bit." Ava tried to calm Ryder down. Ryder spun around to look at her with incredous eyes. "I should calm down? I came back home to meet my little brother being fucked by my close friend and Beta and you expect me to be calm?" he asked her. He turned around to look at Jayden."When did this even start? As far as I know you aren't gay? Or have you been deceiving me all along?" he asked Jayden. Jayden sighed in despair, this was the exact reason, he had refused to be with Lavender. He knew Ryder would be furious and right now seeing Ryder's face, he knew that Ryder was beyond reason at the moment. Ryder looked at Lavender. "Do you care to tell me when this started? Was it when you came back home o
Ryder stared as Reni was taken away. He recognized Reni as Evena's apprentice. How did Reni's apprentice find his way to Salvatore. He wanted to talk to him about Evena but he was already taken away by the king."Babe did you know that Reni was here?" Ryder asked Ava."That guy? Not at all. Do you know him?" Ava asked feigning ignorance."He is Evena's apprentice . I wonder what he is doing here, I also wonder if he knows where Evena is." Ryder asked."Well he has already been taken by the king, I doubt there is a way you can talk to him."The queen came to them. "I am so sorry your first ball went this way." she apologized to them."It's okay." Ava answered as she held her hands to comfort her."You have to leave now, the ball is over. Dreya will take you guys home, your father is coming along with you guys.""My father?""Yes, he said he would be staying in Fireblood for a while now.""Okay, we will wait for him." Ava replied."Take care of yourself dear.""I will Aunt, take care of
The king turned to Ava. "Hello granddaughter." he said to her."Hello to you too." Ava replied."My apologies for just meeting you. I had no idea that you were still alive.""That's because you ordered for my death." Ava replied. She had gotten over her fear and could speak to him freely now.The king chuckled at her reply."I can see that you are still angry with me. The reason I ordered for you to be killed was because I doubted that you would survive. Your twin brother had already died. You have to understand something Ava, no werewolf vampire hybrid has ever survived."Ava looked at him warily, she had no idea what to feel towards him."So I am told you have started taking blood and your fangs are out, have you gained any special abilities yet?" he asked Ava."None that I know of." she replied."Your mother Freya was very powerful. She had the ability to control minds, she could control a full city to do her bidding. I wonder if you have the same power?" the king said as he looked
"Where is the secret stash?" Claudia asked eagerly."I buried it beneath the ground behind the cell where the shadow Wolves are.""Okay. I will find them, just give me the contact of the pack.""I will give you their number but you have to promise me one thing, no harm will come to anyone in the pack.""I promise you, no harm shall come to any of them.""Okay." Lily picked up a piece of paper and wrote the number on it. She then handed it to Claudia. Claudia smiled as she took it, all her plans were slowly coming up. The funniest thing was that the players had no idea that they were just pawns in her game.She went back to stir the food on the fire..............SALVATOREThe ball was going on, and the party was in full swing. Everyone looked at Ava and Ryder curiously. Some of them had heard little snippets about Ava's identity and they were curious to know her history.Ava felt nervous about all the stares. She didn't know how to behave.At that moment, her Aunt came to her."The
