Ava’s POVThe filming for the season finale was finally finished. As the team began to pack everything up the crew would come up to me one by one congratulating me. Some hoping this would not be the last time we work together. Others saying they hope I become a regular in the new season. Even the director told me that he enjoyed my work and wanted to work with me in future projects.While I was happy that my time on the set was finished I was a little heartbroken to say goodbye to everyone. But I knew that I had other matters to attend to. Without speaking with Sally I started scheduling doctor appointments and checkups to look into my pregnancy.After getting off the phone with several offices stating they were not accepting new patients I finally found a doctor that was willing to see me and go over any precautions I may be taking about my pregnancy. I made my way to Elijah’s office after seeing the text message that he sent me a few hours ago. I would be lying if I said I was not
Ava’s POVAfter sharing a kiss with Elijah in his office I tried my hardest to avoid him. And I could tell he did the same. While I took on a few new projects and auditions, whether it was at work or in his house, Elijah stayed in his office.It was not until he was packing to leave for the werewolf realm that he acknowledged me. It had been three days. Maybe four.Elijah knocked on the door frame of the door. I looked up from the book that I had been reading. Another required reading that the lessons I was taking at home where assigned to me. Elijah cleared his throat to keep my attention.“So today I leave for my pack lands. Where you still wanting to accompany me there?” Elijah said.“You swear you are not going to tow me off to the Undergrounds?” I said to the Alpha. The Undergrounds were a prison that held weres that broke laws of the pack or even certain human laws. Many waited there before their sentence was carried out.“Kitten I thought I was clear that as long as you are str
AVA’s POVElijah and his pack had put my fears to rest. Even though I was still unsure about being an outsider in the Enforcers pack no one treated me like such. Well except for one she-wolf.When all the food was cleared away and the mothers put their children to bed, the only wolves that were left were the high ranking wolves and the unmated bunch. One unmated she wolf sat next to me when all the men went to talk. Grayson had whispered something to Elijah and he told me that he would meet me back at his home.I knew from business handled within Jacob’s pack that only high-ranking wolves, the alpha and his Luna were welcomed in those meetings. It broke my heart that Elijah did not have a fated mate yet, but it also made me relieved. I don’t know if I could handle being tossed aside for another.Not again. As I took a sip of the water my thoughts were interrupted by a bubbly young woman that looked a few years younger than me.“What is your relation to Elijah?” The voice said with a
AVA’s POVI was waiting up for Elijah in the front room when he came home. It seemed weird to wait up for him considering we were only companions but I felt compelled to see him. My inner wolf wanted his touch, my hormones were confusing my mind.The door opened and Elijah entered in. I smiled at him but it suddenly fell when I saw the look in his eyes. The look of authority.The look of the Alpha that demanded respect. I had seen this a few times with Jacob but Elijah’s aura hit me harder than anything that I felt with Jacob. Clearly the power and strength difference in these males was staggering.I bowed my head down in respect kept my tone leveled. I did not want Elijah to think I was challenging him in any way shape or form.“Good evening, Alpha Elijah.” I kept my head down and my chin tucked in my neck.“Seems being here you recovered you ability to respect your superiors.” Elijah growled at me. I knew now was not the time to backtalk him.“So I am only going to ask you one time
AVA’s POVI could not help but laugh at Elijah's reaction to going through my portal. After visiting with his pack he told me that it was time to head back to the mortal world.“That does not feel right at all.” He said. He looked a little green around the ears.“I told you that it's not for everyone. It took me years to get use to transportation like that. And I was nine.”“Yeah,” Elijah said with a huff. “I have been using the portals since I was sixteen and training with the Harbingers, kitten.”“And yet…you look like you are going to upchuck at any moment.” I said. I tried to hide my laughter but he wiggled his nose at me and shooed me away from the bags.“I’ll get these you go ahead and rest. There is a lot to do in the upcoming days and you do not need to wear yourself down.” He said, hoisting the bags in each hand. He flipped both bags using his hands and one by one each of the bags where on his shoulders.Which I could not argue with the man. I had an appointment with one of t
ELIJAH’s POVThere was a knock on the door just after Ava had left the house. While I had decided to work from home for the rest of the week I was adamant about being interrupted for any reason. And the person at the door was persist to getting my attention.Opening the door I was greeted by someone that had never been around my home before. I knew my regular mailman and the deliveryman that frequently dropped off packages to my home. This man was neither of them.He was tall but just a few inches shorter than I was. He seemed unkept with his beard. I could not tell about his hair due to the hat he smashed down on his head.“Good morning, sir.” The man said with a bright smile. At least he was polite. The mailman grunted at me the first few times delivering mail. “I have a bouquet delivery and all I need from you is to sign.”As I took the clipboard and began to sign I looked at the flowers in his hands. They were without question expensive. White rose decorated the outside layer. As
AVAAfter today’s filming ended I decided that I needed to clear my head. I was constantly thinking about my lineage. I did not know much about my mother. Hell I knew nothing about my father.And I was more afraid that my baby would grow up not knowing anything about our family. I did not see myself talking to Jacob anytime soon. I tried to push those thoughts out of my head; the last thing I needed was unnecessary worry and stress.I finally decided to tell Sally that I was pregnant and she was surprisingly overjoyed. I invited her to lunch as a thank you and apology for putting up with my mood swings.“So how have you ben feeling,” Sally asked me.“Well to be honest—”“Good afternoon ladies, my name is Gale and I will be taking care of you for this visit. Can I get you started with drinks nad appetizers?”The young man was really sweet with his interactions with us. Sally and I quickly ordered our drinks and explained to our server that we would look at the menus.“Back to what you
Elijah’s POVIt had been a few days since I had seen Ava and now that she was staying back at her studio apartment I knew I would be seeing less and less of her. If it had not been for some of her personal effects that she left behind at my place, it would have been as if she never step foot in my house.I had grew accustomed her being around me from waking up to her having coffee at my breakfast nook to her sleeping next to me seeking comfort. Even my wolf was aching to have her by his side, but it could not be possible she could not be…Could she?I pushed the thought of the starlet out of my head and tried to bury myself back into my work. I had a business to run and a pack to maintain. The last thing I needed was thoughts of slender legs spread across my desk and hazel eyes begging for me to…I closed my eyes and ignored what ever temptation that was threatening my peace of mind.I had a business to run I could not afford to daydream. I had a pack to keep solid. I kept staring at
(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
