Jayden frowned, "What is she doing here?" he asked Lavender."I have no idea." Lavender answered in confusion."Well you should go see your visitor. I have something to do." Jayden said as he stood up from the bed."Jay don't be angry, I really had no idea that she was coming." Lavender said as he stood up as well."I am not angry." Jayden said as he wore his clothes back. "Then why are you leaving?""Because you have a visitor and I have pack duties to attend to."Lavender stood close to him. "So you aren't mad?"Jayden smiled and kissed him, "I am not mad Lavender. Happy now?""Uh huh""Can I go now?" Jayden asked. "Yes you can."Jayden left the room, Lavender dressed up and left the room and went down to meet Claudia. He saw her in the sitting room conversing with Helena. "Hey Claudia." he greeted her. She looked up at him and smiled. "Hey Lavender."Lavender walked into the sitting room. "So what are you doing here?" he asked. "I came to see you. I had something to tell Alph
Ava was unsettled at this news that Lily was free and roaming."I am so worried about this." Ava said.Ryder held her by the shoulder and rubbed her arm comfortingly."Its okay, I am here, I won't let her hurt you." he told her."Okay" Ava said."We have to increase security in the pack and keep a watch out." Jayden said."Get the sentries to be more vigilant. And contact Dreya as well to keep a lookout.""I will be sure to do that." Jayden replied."So, Claudia came here earlier. I am sure you all know Claudia right?" Ryder asked.Everybody nodded, "She wants to be a member of this pack. What do you all think, should she be a member of this pack?""I think she should be a member of this pack." Ava said."me too." Lavender added."I agree with them too" Ryder said, he looked at Jayden."What about you Jay?" he asked. Everyone looked at Jayden expectantly.

Jayden asked."Well we want you to say something, should she come back to the pack or not?" Ryder ask
Jayden sat down on the floor of the forest and buried his head in his hands. He knew he was overreacting and being petty but he couldn't help it.Contrary to what he had told Lavender earlier when they were in the room, he was jealous, very jealous of Claudia. And seeing how Lavender had voted for her to come back to the pack. The flames of jealousy in him burned even fiercer in him.He knew he had been irrational just now and had hurt Lavender. But, maybe this was for the best, if whatever was going on between them ended, maybe this feelings in him would end as well.With that thought in mind, he stood up and went to continue his pack duties.................A week laterEvena shivered in the room, he had no idea what day it was or if he was even still alive. He was no longer able to differentiate between his imagination and reality.He had thought the isolation room would be easy but he was sorely mistaken. It was worse than anything he had ever encountered.The silence in the room
"How did she escape?" Evena asked."We have no idea, she hasn't contacted us yet and we have no idea what she is planning." Ava replied."This is very strange, what about Jax? Does he know anything about her escape?" Evena asked."He has been arrested by the Alphas and interrogated yet he still maintains that he knew nothing about the escape." Ava said."What about Dreya? Has he and Ryder gone to creekwood to examine the place?""Dreya says it has nothing to do with him while Ryder says Lily is no longer part of his family and he doesn't care what happens to her."Evena was shocked to hear this. "Ryder really said that?""Yes he did. I am so scared that she is planning something especially now that she has escaped."Evena squeezed her fingers lightly to comfort her."Nothing is going to happen to you Ava, you have the vampire kingdom, your pack members and my coven to protect you. Lily won't be able to do anything to you.""What about Ryder?" Ava asked worriedly. "Ryder is stronger t
"You want me to get you blood?" Evena asked again so he could be sure of what he had heard previously."Yes I am curious about how it tastes. Please Evena." she begged.Evena looked at her pleading face and despite a niggling voice at the back of his head telling him that this was a bad idea he agreed."just wait here, I will be back soon." he told her and then he vanished out of sight.Ava waited nervously for him to come back. Some few minutes later, Evena appeared with a jar of blood and a glass cup.He dropped the items on the table in the front of Ava."Here you go.""Thanks." Ava replied with a smile.Ava stared at the items on the table pensively."Ava, you don't have to drink blood if you don't want to? You have nothing to prove to anyone." Evena told her after he saw her hesitation."I am not trying to prove anything, I just want to know how it tastes" she replied."Okay then."Ava picked up the jar and poured a little of it into the glass.She raised it tentatively to he lip
Reni leaned in to whisper. "I am sure that you know that the old king is alive?" he asked Evena."I do.""And that Queen Feyre is not supposed to be queen. Her sister Freya was actually supposed to be queen.""Yes, that's Ava's mother. Where are you going with this?""Have some patience Master. I am laying down the foundations." Reni replied."Okay, I am all ears.""The king never approved of Feyre taking the throne. She is just an interim leader, he can take the throne at any time. He also doesn't know that Ava is alive. Now, this is the most important part, in order to stay on the king's good side, the queen has to do everything he wants to please him. The king is the one requesting for the Eternal Chaos. No one knows why he is requesting for it."Evena looked at Reni with an amazed look."How did you get all of this information in such a short time?" he asked him."I am very resourceful master." Reni answered proudly.Evena stopped eating and started to analyze everything Reni had j
"Nothing much. It's just that they are fighting again. I have noticed the cold war between them for a while now but I choose to ignore because I feel it's none of my business and I don't want to interfere in their issues, after all they are both close to me and I don't want to have to pick sides. But today, they had a full blown fight." Ryder told Ava."A fight?" Ava asked in shock."yes, a fight. They even injured themselves to the point of bleeding. When I got there, Lavender was on the verge of shifting.""Wow it's very serious." Ava said." I don't know what to do, I am so confused. I don't even know why they are fighting. I have talked to the both of them yet nobody is giving me a reasonable answer." Ryder said in frustration.Ava reached out to hold his hand."Don't worry, I will talk to them myself and find out what is going on." Ava had an inkling that she might know what was going on."Thanks, I really appreciate it." Ryder told her."It's my job after all as the Luna of this
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
