ALPHA'S SECOND CHANCE: Moonlight Redemption
"Ava, you don't have to do this. Come back to the pack." Hayes spoke, catching up to me.
He's right.
Why am I doing this?
I'm his Luna, so why am I fleeing?
Tears burning at the back of my eyes, I stare straight into his eyes.
"I, Ava Chester, reject you, Hayes Reid, Alpha of Nightshade Pack as my Mate."
Immediately the words left my lips, I felt something snap—my heart feeling torn—and my wolf winced.
"I—I won't accept this rejection, Ava." He managed to say, amidst deep gasps. Wasn't he the same person who hated me from the very first day he saw me?!
I saw pain—and something else I couldn't quite figure out—flash through his features as he bored his eyes into me, as if only realising now how much pain he had caused me.
If anyone had told me two months ago that I would one day reject Hayes as my mate, I'd have had the person executed and his head put on a stake.
•~. .~•
Ava, betrothed to Hayes, is in love with him and has wanted nothing more than finally meeting him. But her fantasies of him had been nothing but that—mere fantasies, as she realises that Hayes wasn't who she had thought him to be.
After loosing his mate, and brother to a rogue attack, Hayes is left as the new alpha of the pack without a chance to properly mourn his loss.
With the sudden death of his mate, he decides to enclose his heart.
As the new alpha, Hayes is faced with the duty of getting a Luna, especially as his betrothed has now reached marriageable age, despite him not wanting it.
While still mourning the loss of his first mate, how, then, was he to crown another his Luna?

Chapter: FIVE_AVA_"You don't need to stand being in my presence when you have my arms, where you can be even closer to me." he returned.My eyes widened.What was he doing?!"Hayes, what the hell are you doing?" I shrieked, "Put me down!!""Nuh-uh. I'll take us to your room; like you said, I know the way there already." He replied straightforwardly, leaving no room at all for any arguments.Subconsciously, I relaxed into his hold. Maybe this was what I wanted all along— to be held by him and feel like he wanted me, half as much as I liked him at least.The way he had swiftly picked me off of my feet was mind-blowing... And kinda scary. He had done that in a matter of seconds, carrying me like a light sack of feathers that weighed nothing.That showed how much strength he had, compared to mine. If he doesn't hold me correctly, he could easily snap me into two and break me from his sheer strength alone.I guess this is one of the perks of being a Lycan King. Ultimate strength and power.My eyes wa

Chapter: FOUR_AVA_Once our union was sealed with a kiss, everyone rose to their feet and paid their respects by bowing to us.I caught sight of Hayes from the side of my eye and I could feel his gaze fixed on me, like his aim was to burn a hole in my skin with his eyes.I looked at him, and he held a smirk in place. That made me sick to my stomach.How could he be grinning so widely at me after kissing me like he hadn't told me he was going to make my life hell few minutes before now?I bit my lip, clamping my teeth down on my lower lip, furious. It wasn't until I felt a thick liquid trickle into my mouth that I realized that I had just bit my lip open, and drew blood from it.Hayes stretched his arm towards me, "Shall we?" He asked, encouraging me to hold onto his arm with a funny glint dancing in his eyes.I slid my hand into the crack of his outstretched arm, holding onto him and walking by his side as he led us to our seats.To close off the ceremony, my Dad was asked to come say a few words

Chapter: THREE_AVA_My handmaid, Jenna, came to get me just as Hayes left, in time for the ceremony. She was dressed already and I walked behind her, letting her lead the way downstairs, my footsteps poised and soft. I was wearing an off-shoulder Princess long a-line tulle ball dress, in the colour coral!The corset of the dress hugged tightly to my body, and not to brag, but I look breathtaking in it!Light shimmered off its soft pink sequined bodice, creating little rainbows across the room as the light reflected on it. The dress was truly flawless, and I loved it. It very much resembled a quince dress, only that it wasn't as puffy as a ball gown.I had no expression on my face as I walked down the stairs, but inside I was dying. Meeting Hayes wasn't what I had thought it would be; he was totally different from what I had imagined he'd be.The idea I had developed of him from reading his words on text was a lie and it felt like he wasn't even the one who had been writing back to me all these yea

Chapter: TWO_AVA_"How... How... How are you my mate?" He stammered, his face dark and contorted with rage.I hadn't expected him to be happy to meet me, but being this furious because he met his mate was weird and it threw me off for a moment."What do you mean?" I asked, trying to remain calm and be as polite as possible."What do I mean? I'm asking what sort of joke this is, and you're questioning me? Who the hell are you to question me?!" He fired at me, furious.I stepped back subconsciously.I felt scared.I wasn't raised being yelled at, so I didn't know how to respond to someone who had so much rage filled inside of him.I decided to stand my ground, even though the aura emitting from him was strong and filled the whole atmosphere. It doesn't even help that my suddenly awakened wolf was trying to leap out to jump on the stranger's body."I am Ava Chester, daughter of Alpha Chester of the Silvermoon Pack, and you shall not speak to me in that tone. I forbid you." I said sternly, tightening

Chapter: Chapter One_AVA_"Ava, you don't have to do this. Come back to the pack, and I promise that no one else will hear about this." Hayes spoke, surrounding me with a few guards as they catch up to me.I look at him, tears threatening to fall from my eyes, with so much anger in my heart. Hayes is my destined mate and I'm his Luna, but to an extent, it was all a facade.He doesn't like me, he hated the thought of me being his mate, but here he is, standing on the path and trying to stop me from leaving."Haven't you done enough, Hayes? Or rather, Alpha Reid?" I felt the anger in my heart threatening to spill out, "Why do you chase after me? To stop me from leaving?!""Don't you see what you're doing is madness?!" He retorted, yelling, "How can the Luna flee from her own pack? From her duty to guide and nurture the members of the pack?!" He was right.I'm not supposed to do this—I'm the Luna of Nightshade Pack, his Luna, so why was I fleeing?It was truly madness, but I can't possibly turn around and
