I was no fan of Emily especially after her display in the office the previous day yet I listened to whatever she had to say hoping it was good and Draven was coming soon but that was where I had got it completely wrong.
"What do you want Emily?" I asked folding my hand across my chest in a defensive stance. "You sent a message to Draven didn't you?" She smirked as she walked in and shut the door properly behind her "And whatever message I sent has nothing to do with you either. " I was really irritated by her guts. "I don't think Draven shares the same thought as you else he wouldn't have sent me here to talk to you in his stead." "What? Draven sent you here to meet and talk with me instead?" I was shocked. "Oh Aveline, what really do you expect from him?" She blinked like a cute puppy. "Draven sent me here because he does not want to have anything to do with you or your bastard baby." Her words hit me hard. My child was no bastard. "He can't," I stammered because I saw him read the text from where I stood and now Emily had the exact details of my text and was standing in the exact room I had asked Draven to meet me in "He cant?" Emily laughed like a maniac. "Don't act dumb, Draven sent me here with just one message and I'll tell it to you." She said increasing my curiosity. "And that would be?" I should never have asked in the first place. "He wants you to get an abortion and he thought I would best communicate it to you for your sanity sake. It hurts less this way." I took two steps back as my knees buckled, "Did he say that to you?" I asked in a small voice before sitting on the bed that stopped me from taking more steps back. I knew Draven had suddenly turned cold and cruel but to kill his own child?... "Oh Aveline, you are so naive," I saw the devil grin and the glint in her eyes were unmistakable. "Draven and I would be mated soon and I will be Luna of the pack. I don't think he wants a stain on that identity at all." She said pinning me down with a stare. What was i thinking, that Draven would accept me insteasd of his mate simply because I became pregnant? Damn Aveline, he told you your place already yet you had to foolishly tell him about the baby, now you have to lick your wounds yourself. I scolded myself. "Are you listening to me?" Emily was still talking but I already zoned out. My heart continuously shattered at the thought that Draven would kill his own child. "I will not abort my child," I didn't care what she thought about my decisions but I said it all the same. "Fine, you do you. I was only sent to remind you that—" she shrugged and was interrupted by the ring of her phone, she smiled at the caller ID. "Yes baby, I'm done here already. I made it clear to her too." She finished her call. "See you later, my mate is waiting for me. She swayed her hips as she left me to my demise in the ward. My world came crashing again. The room was spinning and my mind was blank. All I could think of was the time I had wasted loving and trusting Draven because it was all a waste, it meant nothing to him, he had no place in his life for me or my child. No! Something wasn't just right. I pulled myself together remembering the doctor's warning about my emotional and mental state for my child's sake. I got on my feet and decided to hear Draven say it to my face so I hurried out and caught them in the hall way. "Draven," I called out to him and he was decent enough to stop and turn. "What is it?" His brows furrowed ina frown and his eyes were cold and distant. I shook my head unbelieving of who stood before me. He was a complete stranger. "I want to speak with you," I managed to say, I Knew it would break me to hear it from him but I wanted to know. "Oh baby, please can you take me home right way." Emily clung to him like a rag doll and batted her lashes "I don't feel too well." She pouted. "Sure," he smiled at her but when he turned to me, his expression was sour again. "You can take of yourself Aveline, I have better things to attend to, you don't need me to spell out what you should do, do you?" He glared at me and I understood his communication and nodded. "Good girl," he picked Emily up in bridal style and carried her away to his car. My throat felt patched as I walked back to the car, "take me home please," I told the driver before completely breaking down in tears. I felt my whole body quake as I sobbed but I managed to get off the vehicle and drag myself to my porch, that was when I felt the sharp pain in my stomach. "No!" I immediately wrapped my arms around my body as if to keep my baby safe but the pain was excruciating along side the howling of my wolf in my head. What have I done, the pain in my heart was still stinging so I couldn't control my emotions either, I felt warm liquid trickle down my legs and when I looked down it was blood. The life that I was so proud of was slipping away before my eyes all thanks to Draven. His wish had come through. I fiddled with my phone as my vision blurred from the bleeding and managed to call someone. "Help me," was all I could manage before Vel my wolf howled again and everything went blank.Draven Two weeks later.Draven lay on the bed in his chambers, Aveline sat beside him, her hands interlocked in his as they stared into each other's faces.The storm was over at last. Julian had showed up the day Aveline defeated Kade and he came with a surprise. Beatrice and Emily. Hands chained and beaten.Beatrice was the leak in Draven's pack and Emily worked with her.Aveline expected Draven to be heartbroken and soft towards his mother but he banished her and locked Emily up in the pack's dungeon for breaking the rule of banishment showing her face countless times and also involving in treacherous acts against him.Julian went to Draven's pack with a bouquet in his hand, in front of the bewildered pack members, he went on his knees to confess his love for Sabrina. The Lycan king! His display of love and affection made it hard for Sabrina to refuse him and the two got the blessings of Aveline and Draven. Julian explained his involvement with Kade and Beatrice and how he no lo
AvelineMason shivered in anger as the reality of his situation dawned on him and I patted him gently at his back.It was a real heartache to lose the people you cherish more than anything. I for one, knew how that felt."Julian took them." His breath came out ragged and I could tell they were out of anger."We tried to avoid him and stay away from him. We even denied the kids civilization and he still found us." He raged."What are you going to do about it?" All I needed to do was ask. He had already made the resolve in his mind and as he shifted his gaze to me, I knew that we were fighting the Lycans together.We all stormed out of the forest. The plan was to get to Draven's pack, regroup and go to war and so we did.Luckily, none of Julian's men were outside the clan so we were able to pass through, following the bush paths.We had no means of transportation other than our legs but we were pretty fast. Maybe it was the change in the atmosphere after Mason made a new resolve and we
DravenDraven and his team had less than 4 hours to 48 hours to give Kade what he wanted and they all agreed to go with the plan.Sabrina brought the certificate of ownership and Draven sent a text to Kade. With a picture of the certificate for proof.Kade asked Draven to bring the certificate himself without the police or anybody following him else Betty would be gotten rid of without a second thought. Draven told his team not to follow him but they did anyway, they trailed him with another car. Brian and Scar could not take chances. This gold also be another of Kade's perfect plans to add Draven to the kidnap list and they were not going to let the Alpha out of their sight.Draven drove to the address Kade gave him with urgency and he had lost his way a couple of times as he followed the bushy path to the location Kade gave him.He got there alas and walked into the compound of the only building surrounded by the forest and Kade walked out of it just in time to meet up with him out
AvelineA sharp pain in my head made me force my eyes open. I'd been having lots of weird dreams that I couldn't wake up from no matter how hard I tried.It was strange since I knew that it was all a dream but it was as though someone or something was at the door between real life and dreamland, shutting the door to real life whenever I got so close and forcing me back to dreamland.The dreams were about my wolf, the first time I felt her. Which was strange. I never had a dream about V, and now I was having countless, recurring dreams about her. How we fought Sofia, for the first time. I won.How I threatened Sofia, how brave I felt having her with me, defeating Scar and becoming Alpha. And how I lost her. My days in the dungeon, the hallucinations and torture. Then back to a powerless and helpless Aveline working as a secretary, reeking of sweat and the scent of cheap roll-on that has changed to something else due to the excess work I was occupied with.The insults, humiliation and
Mason"What is this place?" He whispered. The crystals glistened more with the lightening of the place.She did not reply to him. Typical. Instead, she walked into one of the corners of the cave where a stream sat.The stream wasn't flowing, it was more like a stale pool but it's water was so clear that Mason could see the pores on his facial skin"What is this? Why did you bring me here?' He asked, all the more confused."Tis the place my ancestors stored their valuables." She replied and went mute again.Okay, now, this was scary. "I want her to have it. This is the reason I'm still alive. They will not let me go until I do what they have instructed and they say I should give this to her." She spoke again after her silence almost killed Mason. "I have watched you, you are a good wolf. You will protect her. It's your life duty. And you will make sure she has these things." She finished. Mason's eyes fluttered, as he tried to understand what he was told."Who is she? Why did they
Mason"Don't touch that." The healer, or witch or whatever she was called said when Mason wanted to examine a statue in her living room. The living room was used for most of her practices.It was a large room with wide corners that held tables, in some and statues in some with incense burning out from them."Uh, sorry?" Mason replied, drawing his hands back to himself. "Follow me." She bellowed and he gasped with uncertainty. She had barely spoken to him since he showed up with Aveline. She didn't even ask him what happened to her.She just tapped on the closest table and had Mason lay her on it. Ethan tried to speak but she grunted angrily and he figured it was best to let the witch do her job.After taking long hours on Aveline, the men grew tired and settled in front of her hut. They were exhausted from their long journey and it did not help as she wasn't speaking to them. She also did not need their help which had them standing there, watching her perform what was alien to them.
