Elijah
It’s good to be back home.
After looking around the area for several hours, we came up with no results; except for tuckered out twins. We had dropped the Twins off to their mother before heading to my office to discuss matters.
Normally when returning home I would greet the pack but with the high alert threat and my desire to clear my head; being around my pack was not an option. At least for right now.
Grayson swore that something had been in our territory, and I had no reason to doubt him. He was one of the few people I trusted; we had been brothers-in-arms long before I gave him the title of my Beta.
Gamma chalked it up to a bird or bat setting off the motion sensors. “I will go look at the cameras and tell you what I found.” Lewis, my Gamma stated as he exited the office. He stopped and turned to me and embraced me in the brotherly hug that I always expected from my third.
“I am glad to have you
AvaI was humming to the radio as I pulled up to Elijah’s house. His secretary told me that our boss had left his car for me to travel to his resident. I thought it was nice of him to not only pay me for dog-sitting his pets but for him to go the extra mile a supply me a vehicle to drive from my studio to the house place and to location where we were shooting the series.When I pulled into the location the the navigation system told me that I arrived to; my jaw dropped.THIS IS HIS HOUSE!!!! I shouted in the car. Good thing no one wa around to hear me scream hysterically.Don’t get me wrong Jacob’s pack house was a two story house but that was occupied by the highest three ranks in his pack: Beta, Gamma, and of course the Alpha. From my understanding Elijah lived by himself. I mean I just found out recently that he owed dogs.I got out of the car and made my way up the drive way. I punched in the
AVAThe second day watching Eyolf and Connor was very relaxing. She had finally texted Elijah telling him that the dogs were really easy going and she was going to take them the the park.[SMS from Elijah👿] I am glad they are enjoying your company. The park is fine, just make sure Eyolf is not near any smaller dogs. He is scared of them and will bite if backed into a corner. [SMS to Elijah 👿 ] I agree with Eyolf, yappers are intimidating.Ava snapped herself out of it as she loaded both dogs into the truck Elijah told her would be easier to transport them in. She had been absentmindedly flirting with him again. It was as if she could not help herself.The truck was almost as nice if not better than the truck that Jacob and the pack used to buy supplies from the town. Unlike Jacob’s the tailgate was not as long but the backseat was large enough for both furry companions to fit and lay down
AVABy the time the shoot ended I was tired. Everything during the shooting worked out great, besides catching a heatstroke. I did not know one could even catch a heatstroke at night.As I made my way into the bedroom I heard a notification for a text message.I should really personalize the text messages so I can know what I should ignore and what to answer. But as I looked up from my pillow I saw that it was none other than Elijah that sent the message.Elijah was notifying me that his business trip was almost finished and that he would be arriving back to town tomorrow evening.[SMS from Elijah👿] If you don’t mind I still need Eyolf and Connor looked after until I get home.[SMS to Elijah 👿] Sure no problem[SMS from Elijah 👿 ] You can stay the night still if need be.[SMS to Elijah 👿] Thanks I really appreciate that boss.I went to put my phone up but I found there was more
Just as planned I was working on the set from the sun up to the peak of dusk. Whatever that meant. Before heading to the set I stocked up on anything and everything that could help me get through the hours.My dizziness and vertigo symptoms had not fade, even the slightest. If anything they had gotten worse. I went to the medicine bag that I had purchased along with ginger chews to help with my sour stomach. I had aspirin and a travel compress just in case I got a headache.During the break I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. As I entered I overheard the girls talking about different subjects.“I went to that party and it was a total bust.” The girl that was playing the sister to the lead character. I think her name was Linana.“I told you, sweetie you should have went with me and Shawn we had a blast at the bubble party.” The makeup artist named Brooklynn said. She had been talking about that party for days and I was glad sh
ELIJAHI stared blankly at Ava’s arm as she pulled away from me. I must have unclenched my jaw only to clench it back. Anger was all I could see.“I can explain.” I heard the woman speak to me. I could not even think her name I was so pissed right now.“Talk.” I growled.“I know how this looks but I can explain. I am from a pack in the were world but I was disowned by my mate. And he was going to label me as a rogue so I fled to the human world.”I stood up taking deep breathes keeping my distance away from her.“Why was you being labelled as a rogue?”“I am not a rogue.” She said harshly. I snarled at her only to have her recoil into the couch.“Ava, I am not screwing around. You should be transported to a cell right now for illegal transportation. I am trying to get your side of this lie.”I was having a hard time getting my emotions under control. Even though I had just let Neptune for a run I could feel him angrily pacing and slamming into the barrier in my mind. I was Alpha to th
AVA Elijah took the kitchen and the room where Connor and Eyolf’s cages were and I took the upstairs room. He told me to just throw anything away that could not be salvaged. I had to admit both dogs did damage on the place.As I made my way to the kitchen with trash bags full of ripped pillowcases and sheets, Elijah stopped me.“There is something that bothers me.” He started. “How did you end up in the human realm at that age?”“My mother was with my father at the time and he was a human that lived in the mortal world. We had lived with him up until I auditioned for the talent search.”Elijah went into his fridge, that surprising had no dents on, and bragged to bottles of water. He handed one to me and took a swig.“But that does not explain how you ended back in the otherworld then. Or even how you ended up in my studio for the competition.” I could tell that a lot of questions that Elijah had were going to stem from my origin first and how I ended up on his doorstep.“Well, my fat
ELIJAHAs I showed Ava to her room I could see doubt in her eyes. She had been looking over her shoulders for so long I am surprised she was trusting me with the truth now. “Stay in the guest room, tonight. You need to rest.” I could feel my role as Alpha push authority on her. Now that Neptune and I were sure she was a she-wolf, we made sure that she followed the rules laid out for her. “What about you? Where are you gonna sleep?” Ava asked me.Her concern for me was touching but I had other things to worry about. “Don’t worry kitten, I can sleep in one of the rooms that did not get destroyed.” I assured her that I would be fine. I needed her to be well rested. My decision to let Ava continue to stay the night was a logical decision. Atleast that is what I keep telling myself. There was no point in having her leave at this hour.Truth be told I wanted to keep an eye on her, because of the attack and her pregnancy. I was still upset about her lying to me, but after hearing some
AVA’s POVFor the first time, in a long time I woke up in the morning with a peace of mind. Without waking up screaming in the middle of the night. I felt so relieved not only for myself but for my unborn child.I did not need any more unwanted stress. I began to sit up in the bed I slept in last night. It took me a moment to remember that I stayed at Elijah’s house. Then it hit me: Elijah knows that I am a werewolf.I raced out of bed and headed down stairs. Then my nose interrupted my train of thought with the aroma of food. When I made it downstairs and turned the corner I was in disbelief. Elijah was in the kitchen making breakfast without a shirt on.I don’t think my hormones can take something like that. I thought as I cleared my thoughts as I entered the doorway.“Good morning.” I tried to say it as clearly and calmly as I could.“Good morning, I figured you would want to sleep in after the full day on set.” And your dog attacked me. I notice that it was floating in the air, bu
(Ava’s POV)I took a deep breath as I turned to see the Twins Tiene and Ash extend their hands out to me. I tried to holding my laughter in as I saw them wearing suits and ties. I had been so use to cut shirts and damaged jeans I had hardly recognized their clean shaven attire. “We know that Alpha Elijah cannot escort you inside but,” Ash started the conversation.“Hopefully the two of us can be half the man that our Alpha is,” Tiene finished.“May you gentlemen escort me inside,” I asked as I took both of their forearms and smiled at Elijah. While I was upset that he would not be with me during my speech I was glad I had so much support around me. On both sides. I did not look back at we headed towards the building I remembered what Elijah told me before we left the manor. “When we get there whatever you do: Do not look back. It is a sign of weakness.” I could feel Elijah’s eyes on me as the twins lead me into the building. The twins opened the door for me and we walked inside.
(Elijah’s POV)I woke up to find my mate in my arms. I leaned into her body to make sure it was not a dream. The scent of cinnamon and vanilla filled my nostrils. It had been three days since we took down all of the bases of the Syndicate. However there were still reports of humans trying to form groups to assault werewolves or people that they believed were werewolves. I was optimistic that we could put an end to this. I rose out of bed and took a deep breath as I got dressed. I pulled out a black suit with a blue shirt and black tie. Today was the day that we had been waiting for. I received word that the high commanding officers of the humans were looking to bring me in for questioning. Word was spreading that a faction of wolves had lead an attack on a militia that was eradicating humans. Since Ava and I were known to the public as werewolves naturally they would suspect us first.Good luck proving it. My wolf scoffed and laughed as he laid down and covered his body with his t
(Elijah’s POV)I am sorry Ava.As much as I wanted to have my mate help me lead the charge it would be a danger to her. I did not want to risk the plan because I was blinded by my need to have my mate at my side. Alpha we are in position from the north part of the stronghold. I heard Grayson mindlink with me. Grayson was at the rear of the charge with Doni as we began stormed the last front of the Syndicate’s threshold.It looks like most of the humans that have occupied this base do not have strong enough supplies or weapons to put up much of a fight. Doni was overly confident about the situation but I made sure that all of the soldiers on my end waited for my signal. Area 12; it was the last Syndicate base in the human realm. We found out that there were at least seven in the human world and five in the werewolf realm. Many of the other Alphas that could not leave their territory had informed me that others were leading the attack on the based in the werewolf realm. This incre
(Ava’s POV)As I wake up for my stupor I realized a few things. I could sense that another witch was in the territory or at least she was. I knew it had to be my master Shanti given the power trail that she left. At least they have support. I thought as I craned my shoulders and neck. As I sat up I noticed that Shanti had also put up a barrier to prevent me from leaving the house. Apparently my mate does not trust me to stay put. He was right, I would have bolted the first chance I got. Then I noticed I could not get a scent from my mate. I let out a frustrated groan. They went out of their way to make sure I would stay out of the fight. While I am upset with Elijah I know that in order for the plan to work I have to stay out of sight. I dont like it nor do I agree with it but I have to follow my mate’s command. I make my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water and check on the hounds. Since the attack on them we have been monitoring them to make sure their are no lingering
(Elijah’s POV)Despite the blockade between the worlds, the closing portals and the round the clock surveillance on my property I was able to bypast all of that and get the information needed. I did not want to tire my mate out but her ability to open portals at any given moment was a blessing from the Moon Goddess. With her will and determination we were able to contact and summon at least 3 hundred able body soldiers. She opened portals to several safe houses that I bought before Ava came to the mortal realm. Even though I was not prepping for a doomsday I did want to prepare just in case there was a huge number of werewolves that want to transfer to the human realm whether for temporary visit or permanent. With permission from the Alpha that wanted to stay behind I was in command several packs to storm Syndicate threshold.“We have everything needed to take on each stronghold. With Ava’s help every pack is close in position to attack on your command,” Lewis said as he looked ov
(Ava’s POV)As I looked at the ceiling I could not help but get upset. Sleep eluded me constantly. Since the children were born I was use to getting up a few times during the night or sleeping in the nursery with them. However I was still able to get sleep. I shifted tossed and turned the entire night. Even with Elijah holding me half the night before he fell into slumber I could not get to sleep. I could feel Elijah’s warmth and power surround me and keep me safe throughout out the night, but it was not enough to lull me to sleep. The image of the werewolf being shot still haunted my thoughts. Seeing the poor fellow werewolf being forced into transforming and then being slaughtered because of it turned my stomach. That could have been me, if Elijah and Grayson had not protected me. The Syndicate laced the award with something that caused my transformation. I almost rampaged the city and if anything got worse I would have been killed. After the new release the video was circulatin
(Ava’s POV)You have a plan,” I ask unsure about the situation. After showering with Elijah I felt a sense of calmness around me. It made me realize that I had been walking on pins and needles in my past relationship. “I have a plan to take down the Syndicate, get you back into the world as a beacon of survival and hope,” Elijah said as he passed a mug of coffee to me. Grayson stood at the oven fixing breakfast for the lot of us. Hearing my stomach I could not remember the last time I ate anything…or kept anything down. My nerves were all over the place. “So what is your plan Alpha,” Grayson said with his back still turned to us. “My plan is of course to find out were all of there hideouts are in the human wprld. Thye must be relying on humans to fortitfy themselves here. I ant to hit ech one before we move to anything critical to the plan.”“Which is,” I asked eagerly.“You,” Elijah said before taking a sip of coffee.“Me! Why me,” I felt like a weigh was going to slam into me a
(Elijah’s POV)Waking up I could hear the television, I look over and see the side of the bed that usually occupied by my mate is empty. I could not tell you how long its been since she slept next to me. Not that I blame her, with the world finding out that she is werewolf and forcefully transforming in front of the world would deter anyone’s spirit. I can feel my wolf licking on wounds both the physical and emotional. I try to shake everything off but I am still healing from the gun fire assault that Grayson and I protected Ava from. What kind of mate would I be if I let humans harm Ava.As I roll out of bed my hand automatically reaches for my cellphone. It is the only link that I have between the humans and my king. I unlock my phone and listen to my voicemails first. I don’t recognize this number but if it had my contact information it had to be important. I press play and I cannot believe what I am hearing:Good evening Mr. Elijah Connery. This is the representative for Troy O
(Ava’s POV)“YOU WON! AVA YOU WON THE AWARD!”Everything seemed like a fantasy. A dream that I had hoped for since I was a little girl.“I cannot believe that I am holding this…every endeavor that I have pushed to be apart of. I would …”That slowly turned into a nightmare that I could not escape from.Ava what is the matter? What is going on?“Freak.”“Monster.”Everything seemed to replay in my mind like a horrible series of a television show and I could not turn it off. Because it was my life.Where did it all go so wrong? How did we come so far to be under fire by my mistake?This thought and others kept circulating in my head. Tide, my wolf, was resting after running to escape the mayhem. She finally was able to shift in the human world-not that she was happy about the exposure or the wounds our mate suffered due to us.Even after I transformed back into a human I was still shot at, however Elijah and Grayson shielded me from the attack. When I came to I noticed that none of the
