AVAI could not be happier to have days off from shooting. Do no get me wrong I love filming but it is starting to become rigorous on my body.Back and forth. Day in and day out. At this point there are days I wish I would have taken Elijah up on his offer to take a break until I recovered from delivery.This is my last day of the three day break from the studio and unfortunately I was bed resting for one. After Elijah found me unconscious he issued Pack Law that I would continue to be in his care until further notice.“From now on you are under my rood and my protection. Until further notice no unauthorized spells.” Elijah told me after we discusses the spell and ritual I performed.Today I decided to take Connor and Eyolf out for a walk. They had been cooped up in their kennels for weeks since they went berserk. I had always wanted a dog since I was a little girl and I was glad that these two fur babies trusted me; even liked me.Elijah agreed to let me walk the dogs as long as I wa
Elijah/ NEPTUNE After leaving a meeting with a human of a prospecting company determine to understand why I would not sign his new wife of the week to my company. I did not want to have to explain that she had no talent that he married someone that thought talent could be bought at the snap of his fingers.I have meetings like this every blue moon, but they never got better. I was agitated with his persistence. After explaining to him that she would have to enter the next talent competition next year I had my assistance move the rest of my meetings to tomorrow or another day.I did not anticipate it, how could I.When I came home it hit me in an instant. The challenging scent of an Alpha that I did not expect to have in my home. I had buried the last remaining contents of gifts sent to Ava.Trying to hold my wolf back I took another whiff to discover that the scent had entered from my backyard and was now nestled in my home. I knew with out taking another whiff that it was coming fr
AVA’s POVI would be lying if I said the power Elijah radiated left me a shiver travel down my spine. The power of an Alpha gave mixed emotions to all under them and as a hormonal she-wolf I was having a hard time centering mine.Focus Ava. Focus your anger not your desire…Easy said than done when it came to the man in front of me.His question brought me back to reality.“Who are you talking about,” the Alpha asked. I had noticed that Elijah was finally in control of himself and his wolf had settled down.I was furious at the animal of a man for destroying my property. I was awestruck at the fact he could not see how manipulative Sissy was.It was obvious to everyone around him, except Elijah of course.“I mean you subordinate, Sissy. Ever since I met her she has been self proclaiming herself to be your future mate. She has been harassing me constantly. Hell she even started fabricating stories to get the other actors in the company to spite me.” I thought about when I walked in on S
AVA’s POVI feel a arm curl over me and pull me into his embrace. It has been three months since Elijah made our feelings clear. Every night since then he has proven to me that he is devoted to the wellbeing of me and my children.I lean my head back against his shoulder only to felt his hand pushed through my hair. He lays a kiss at the base of my chins and sits up. I see the desire in his eyes as he cups my breast underneath my shirt.I let out a soft moan and he begins to kiss my lips. As his hands begin to find my entrance the moment of bliss is quicky interrupted by cries coming from the baby monitor sitting on the nightstand.He groans and lays his palm on the pillow where my head is resting. I cannot help but laugh.“Lucas, my boy can’t I say good morning to your mother,” he says as he walks to the next room. I don’t hide my smile at how good Elijah is with the babies.He returns to the room holding my three month old son. His eyes are closed and his breathing is still as Elija
AVA’s POVAva.The pull was undeniable, he was here. I felt my throat bob up and down as I swallowed. I looked over to the other side of my bed and found that it was empty. Elijah must have gone for a run this morning. Ava, come to me. I shook my head as Jacob’s mindlink dominated my senses. My mouth began to water as his scent grew closer to my perimeter. I took a deep breath to inhale his musk, the smell of timber chips and grass invaded my senses. I missed you.Without hesitation I jump out of bed and run down stairs. I open the door to see and full bouquet in front of me. Swirled colors of reds, pinks, and whites bring a smile to my face.He still remembered my favorites.As the flowers are lowered I see him for the first time in a long time. I began to remember why I was in love with the man in front of me. He was gentle and kind. Our memories were a beautiful reminder. His face is covered in stumble and a five o’clock shadow. He usually keeps himself together. His eye are s
AVA’s POVI had a feel days to think over what Jacob told me, but I could not bring myself to explain to Elijah. I that he had smelled Jacob in the house and in the nursery but he made no indications about it.I noticed that he left me to my thoughts and the children. As I nursed Lucas I noticed that Jacob’s aura was fading, but that did not comfort me. Seeing his blanket the children and myself in his presence left me wondering if we really could be a family.When Jacob’s aura nad scent finally dissipate out of the rooms I heard a rapping at the open door frame. I looked up to see Elijah; I could not help but smile at the man standing in the door way.From the looks of his clothes he had come home from the studio. His black dress shirt was completely open and showed the dark grey undershirt that was left untucked out of his dark blue slacks.“May I come in,” he asked.I wanted to be snarky and tell him, “it was his house he could do as he pleased,” but I did not want to fight with hi
It was almost too easy getting Ava into the hotel. Jacob had bought the rooms and rented the car the same day arrived to the human world. The less Jacob had to interact with the insects that were call human the better.His wolf was getting restless knowing that his mate was somewhere out there. It did not help that Ava was shacking up with another male and an Alpha at that. But Jacob’s wolf was determine to bring out Ava’s wolf and bring sense back to her.I can’t lie seeing those two pups when I walking in brought a little bit of happiness to my heart. He pulled the restraints that he had kept in his travel bag to subdue his soon to be rejected mate. He had gotten the latches on the foot board attached and her feet secured. Jacob made no precautions to make sure that the restraints were not too tight.He laid Ava across the bed and made sure that she was still unconscious. With all the trouble Ava had caused him, Jacob could care less. He looked over at the sleeping babes that were
Elijah’s POVIt’s been a week. It’s been an entire week since I heard from Ava. Both myself and my wolf are on edge. I have been in constant contact with anyone that could have been in contact with Jacob before her left. Nothing.When I heard the phone rang I did not even bother to look at the caller ID. Since Ava and the twins’ disappearance I have taken a “vacation” at work until she can be found. “Do you have any updates,” I try not to growl into the speaker phone. I place the phone on the counter, I want to try to avoid breaking this one. “Well Alpha, Lewis confirmed it. Jacob never checked into the extraction point. Not did he make a request for additional permits for Ava or the children.” I could hear shuffling in the background.I knew that Grayson’s was just as worried as I was. He had come to love those kids as much as I did. He even considered Ava to be family, so finding out that Jacob’s mate was Ava was a shock to us. “How do you want us to proceed,” Grayson asked, sna
(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
