Ava wanted to walk past Lily and leave before she lost her temper and did something she would regret and Ryder wouldn't forgive her for. Lily however, blocked her way."Leaving so soon? I am afraid not, we still have so much to talk about.""What do you want from me Lily? I have lost everything, what more do you want?" Ava asked in anger."I want you to be finished, I don't want your name to exist alongside mine. Your little supporters at the pack still defend you but I know with time, that's all going to change. Do you know that Jax was very happy when he knew that I was his mate, he was so full of joy that he wasn't getting married to a freak."Ava was boiling with rage, she couldn't even control herself anymore. Her eyes were already red. Lily however didn't notice and kept talking."Like I don't know why you aren't in the prison. I am so going to talk to my brother about it. Freaks like you don't belong with normal werewolves."Ava growled and rushed her, she squeezed her neck tig
Ava sat on the prison floor with tears dripping from her eyes, what had come upon her, why had she attacked Lily? She didn't know what had come over her that had made her attack Lily.Lily had said some hurtful words that had provoked her but that shouldn't have made her so angry that she attacked her. She was never that hot headed.She remembered how Ryder had refused to look at her, things had been going so well between them, why had she ruined things with her hot temper?She knew that nothing could save her this time. She would surely be killed this time around. She touched her cheek which Jax had slapped. Jax was the biggest coward in the world. To think that he had shared her secret with Lily.Suddenly while she was lost in her thoughts, someone appeared in the room. She looked at the intruder in shock, how had he vanished out of thin air?She moved back in fright, "who are you?" she asked."my name is Dreya. Your father sent me to rescue you.""my father?""Yes, Mr Dustin Shields
Ava had been struck speechless several times today but this was the most shocking. She had an aunt? Who was also a vampire? And the fucking queen? "Dad, what is going on? Please tell me before I lose my mind." Ava pleaded with Dustin. "We can talk about this later but right now we have to leave before we are caught." Dreya told them. "Come on Ava get in the car, later I will explain everything to you." Dustin told Ava and then he led her to the car. Everyone entered the car and they drove off. .......... Ryder sent some guards to check the surrounding area. He had already bade goodbye to the guests and they had all left the pack. He was currently in the study with Evena. "Evena, you have to investigate who really took her" Ryder told him. "I already know who took her." Evena replied. Ryder looked at him in shock. "You already know the culprit? That was fast.""I already knew who it was back at the prison.""Uh?""I didn't say anything because I wanted us to talk about it in pr
Ava was seated in a luxurious looking room, her father was seated beside her while her aunt and Dreya sat opposite them. "So is someone going to tell me what's going on?" Ava asked them. "Ava sweetie it's a long story and you have had quite a long and hectic day, why not have a rest and we can talk about it later." Dustin tried to placate her. "No. I want to hear everything now. You have kept a lot of secrets from me and I want to know everything now." Ava said with a determined gleam in her eyes. Dustin sighed, from experience, he knew it was best to do what she wanted because she was very stubborn. "fine, I will tell you everything. I just hope you can forgive me." he told her. "go on." Ava said. Dustin cleared his throat and started speaking. "Back in my younger days, I was a member of Fireblood pack. I had a mate and everything was going fine. Then the Alpha, at that time, Ryder's father sent me on a mission to reach an agreement with the vampires so they would stop attack
Dreya led Ava to her room. "You can stay here for a while. Make yourself comfortable okay." he told her. "Thanks. Thank you for saving me from Fireblood." Ava told him. "You are welcome. I am glad I was able to help." Dreya told her. Ava sat on the bed and buried her head in her hands. Dreya knelt in front of her. "Are you okay?" he asked. "No, I am not. I think I am crazy, I almost killed someone just now." she said. Dreya stretched his hand towards her face which bore the hand print of the slap from earlier. He caressed it gently letting his magic heal the bruise. "You aren't crazy Ava." he told her. "How can you be so sure?" she asked. "You were under the control of a drug. That's why you attacked.""But who drugged me? Lily?""I can't say for sure, but you aren't crazy, I am sure of that."Ava chuckled, "I am not sure everybody will agree with you about that.""It's their loss then. I have only met you for a little while but I am sure that you are a nice person with a good
It was evening, Ryder was seated in his study waiting for Evena. He wondered how tonight's ritual was going to go and what they were going to find out. Ryder was both scared and eager to know what really happened in the past. He was conflicted about what to feel, if it turned out that Lily had a hand in Ava's attack, he could prove Ava's innocence, Ryder really didn't want to think that his little sister was capable of such an heinous act.Evena appeared in the study, Ryder noticed that he looked tired. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I am fine. are you ready?" Evena asked him. "I am." Ryder replied. "Is everything ready for the ritual?""Yes, everything is ready for the ritual." Ryder replied."The room?""Yes.""The candles?""Yes.""What about Jayden, where is he?"A light bulb went on in Ryder's head, he knew that he had forgotten something but he couldn't remember what it was until now, he had forgotten to tell Jayden about what they were doing. "You forgot to tell him, didn't you
Lavender didn't know how long he stood speechless there with his mouth open like a fish. "Uhm Lavender, are you okay?" Evena asked him. Lavender shook himself free from his stupor. "I... I... am fine. I am just in shock. So you think Lily might have something to do with the attacks so you want to go into her memory to find out what happened?" Lavender asked just to be sure he had heard Ryder well just now. "That is exactly what I said, we need you to pull us out." Ryder replied. "How do I do that?" Lavender asked. "I will give you a signal. I will tap my fingers on my left hand three times and then you tap on our chests lightly to wake us up. That's all" Evena instructed. "Do you understand what he said?" Ryder asked him. "What happens if I don't pull you out?" Lavender asked worriedly. "We will be lost in her subconscious and we will never wake up." Evena replied. Lavender shuddered in horror. "Do you understand how serious this is now?" Ryder asked him. "Yes I do." Lavend
Evena and Ryder lay on the bed, the candles were lit and blazing all around them. Lavender sat on a chair beside the both of them. "So what now?" Ryder asked."Now I perform the ritual" Evena replied. He raised the lock of hair and the vial of blood up and chanted some spells. Immediately the items caught fire.Ryder felt himself become drowsy and soon he fell asleep.When he opened his eyes, he was in a dark room. Evena stood beside him."Where are we?" he asked."We are in her head." Evena answered. "So how do we know where to go?""Where do you want to go?" Evena asked."I want to go back to when she and Lavender were little. I want to know what really happened when they fought back then.""Okay."Evena snapped his fingers and they were back in the past, they were just spectators and nobody could see them.They saw a fight between Lily and Lavender. "I need to use the bathroom Lily." Lavender told Lily who stood in front of the door."I also want to use it too." Lily replied."
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
