CHAPTER 005
Last Updated:
2024-11-07 13:01:04I blinked back the excess sunlight and shielded my eyes with my hand when I regained consciousness. My head hurt slightly but I was alive.
"Damn it girl," a familiar voice filled with concern rang through my ears before I could catch a glimpse of the company around me.
"Hi," I muttered the words as I struggled to my sit upright.
"Hey, be careful." Sabrina my best friend helped me to a sitting position.
"What do you think you are doing to yourself?" I saw the lines of worry on her forehead as she squeezed my arm gently.
I didn't need a lecture, I wanted to know what happened to me.
"What happened?" I asked in the loudest tone I could but it still came out a whisper.
The sadness in her eyes fueled my curiosity, "Brina, where..." she shook her head and I trailed off.
If not anyone I had surely informed Sabrina about my pregnancy. "I didn't lose it right?" I asked still hopeful.
"I'm sorry baby girl but I couldn't get here fast enough after your call and I met you in a really bad state, I am only sure of your life, the other is gone." She dropped her eyes to the bed avoiding my gaze and felt a pang of sorrow.
I shook my head not wanting to let go, the pain in my chest was back, that heavy feeling of loneliness and rejection that clouds your mind and reminds you of how wasted the last seven years of your life had been. That was what I felt.
"You can't cry over that asshole, he doesn't deserve you and if the moon goddess was so cruel to give him two mates, that has nothing to do with you. There's still a world out there away from Draven. I doubt I want you losing yourself while chasing after him." Sabrina had my face cupped with both her hands.
I had not realized that I already started crying, lately it had been my default state with regret as my companion but Brina was right, I couldn't live in Emily's shadow or remain a play toy for Draven.
It was a tough decision but I made up my mind to leave, to find peace but definitely not happiness because I was going to morn my lost child forever and I hated Draven for not caring about it.
"Where are you going?" Brina tried to stop me from getting off the bed.
"I have a letter for my boss," her face twisted in a frown at my response. A raised eye brow and a suspicious look followed.
"Is it what I think it is?" For the first time in forty eight hours, I managed a small smile.
"I think I'll make a stop at his house first and pick up some things. It's better not to leave any piece of me with him if I'm walking away."
"Go girl," she fell on the bed and wiggled her legs while beating the air like a child.
"Finally," she was definitely excited but I was not. Walking away hurt much more than staying in his company and seeing him with someone else, walking away meant never seeing him again.
I broke down severally in the shower but each time I put myself together, I strengthened my resolve and by the time I was dressed to leave, I was ready to leave Draven.
I got to his house and imputed the password but the door wouldn't slide open. Bastard! He changed the lock details already so I rang the door bell instead.
A slender light skinned lady answered the door. I could swear she saw me in the cameras before doing so because ain't no way the lady of the house was answering the door randomly.
"Hi," I avoided her gaze as I spoke.
"Draven is not home, I'm sorry if you tried to gain access, he changed the code so you wouldn't—"
"You can keep the details to yourself, I only came here to pick my stuff so I'm not interested in knowing the code. I won't be coming back here for anything else afterwards." I cut her off.
I saw her lift a brow annoyed by my guts as I held her pale blue eyes in mine, her expression turned sinister.
"Well, about that, they were unusable rubbish so I asked the maid to throw them out." She smiled. A very nice comeback I thought.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave now." I didn't waste my time at the door trying to understand her point or give her any opportunity to perceive that I was hurt, I simply turned on my heels after basic courtesy.
Draven was very particular about his privacy so I never spent as much as a night at his place all these years but there she was in his space so early in the morning, the thought squeezed my heart in my chest as I drove to the office but I pushed it aside and managed to clear my desk.
With the printed letter in my hand, I knocked twice and pushed his office door open.
"Emily said you went to the house to pack up your stuff, what's that all about?" He asked before I could state my agenda. I scoffed, whatever game they were playing was up to them but I wasn’t going to be caught in the middle so instead of defending myself by explaining I dropped my resignation letter on his desk.
"I'm leaving Draven." I sighed.
"Are you trying to force me to admitting you're my girlfriend by quitting?" He sounded unhappy with my decision, he definitely thought I'd stick around as his bedroom companion.
Hell, I was done.
"No Draven, I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again in the future so I'm leaving." I said it with all the courage I could muster.
He tightened his jaw and pressed his lips in a thin line, sitting back in his chair as he shoved the letter to the floor, my breathe catched.
"You won't last a month out there without my protection." I saw the rage in his eyes as he spoke but my mind was made up already.
I didn't know where I got the guts from but I gave him a reply.
"We'll see about that."

DravenDraven arched an eyebrow when Aveline snapped back at him with her words.He rose from his chair and placed his hands on the table. His broad shoulders were very visible, and his hair bounced upward, leaving the few strands just at the front of his innocent blue eyes that could capture one's heart with just a glance.His facial appearance was one to speak about also, but at this point, he was angry rather than confused. Aveline was still standing when he stood properly. "What did you think you are trying to do?" His deep baritone filled the room but Aveline was not fazed by it. Instead, she just shrugged. "I told you already, I'm packing my things," she heaved a deep sigh and opened her eyes. "I would be out of this place in an hour."Two lines appeared on Draven's face as he stared deeper into Aveline's eyes. "We both know you are doing this to make me beg you." "Ain't I saying the truth?" He added. A deep scoff escaped Aveline's throat. "I need nothing from you, Draven; I

Aveline I walked out of the office slowly, I had made up my mind already, I could not turn back on my words. Emily was deceiving herself if she thinks I was hurt by the stupidity she portrayed in there, I knew Draven had given up on me and he sees me as a whore who just satisfy his sexual urge, it was painful but I just had to accept it.Different thoughts of what to do after I leave this place kept flooding in my head and it just kept fading away and I saw more of it as a bad option.Was Draven was right about what he said?Maybe I can't survive outside his territory, is he the reason why I had been surviving all this time?No, no way!!!The seven years that I spent here with Draven was more of a living hell so I don't think I would be fazed by the world outside this place. I would survive!!!It felt like my heart was squeezed as I turned away each day I keep telling myself that it's fine, that I would be fine even though I know things are not okay."Where did you think you are goi

Aveline Immediately I got to the hospital, and I rushed off to where the doctor that had called me was. I pushed open the ward door, hoping that what the doctor had said would turn out to be false, even though I knew that the chance of that happening was extremely low. I met the doctor standing close to the bed with what seemed to be nothing other than a stethoscope around his neck with his back turned towards me. I walked slowly, my feet feeling too heavy to raise, so I had to drag them across the floor, my facial expression betraying my emotion in that instant immediately after I laid my eyes on the figure that lay on the bed that the doctor was standing really close to and was covered from head to toe. The doctor turned to stare at me with a saddened expression plastered on his face; that same emotion could be noticed in his voice when he spoke to me. “I am sorry for your loss, Miss Aveline; she died not too long ago,” he said to me and clasped his hand on my shoulder. I tight

Aveline I sat at a country club among the company of the most loving couple I have ever laid eyes on, Grace and Roy. They are the perfect definition of what I had always wanted my relationship with my mate, Draven, to be. We could have worked towards it and made it perfect. Their relationship is almost what every young lady who had laid her eyes on them wants her own to be like also. They were obviously a couple filled with love who were also mates; their combination was really a match handpicked by the moon goddess herself, while mine was no doubt handpicked by the devil himself instead. I had woken up this morning for the first time in a long while jobless; there was nothing to do, and I was all alone in my home. I could not visit Sabrina in her own home due to the fact that she was far away from home, a thousand miles apart, in another country, engaging in a business matter. Staying alone at home was not an option I was even going to consider at all. If I had stayed at home, th

Aveline Days had slowly turned to weeks and I was yet to find a job. I was qualified for each and every one of them, but Draven just kept getting in the way; he was the only thing that was making me jobless until now.They all kept rejecting me since they failed to see a reference from my former boss, which was Draven; some of the companies I went to even rejected me immediately after I failed to provide a reference from my former boss.I knew that things would be bad but I never knew it would be this bad…or was he doing this on purpose for me to return to him?If that's the case, then it's a big lie, I'm returning nowhere.I'd rather die while looking for a job than return to anything that has to do with him, it was more than a living hell. No one would wish for that kinda life but I just had to put up with it. "What the fuck did he think he's gonna gain from doing this?" I spoke for the first time since I got out of the last company that rejected me. "It should not be difficu

Aveline The constant ticking of the clock had probably woke me up, I was not far gone in sleep actually. I was always thinking about how things were, and it was not even a thing to laugh over. After all, it seems like Draven was right. I don't think I'd be able to get a job without his signature.It's been three bloody whole weeks since I got out from Draven's company and I was yet to secure a job. Lots and lots of jobs were available, huge jobs but Draven was just a pain in the ass. "Damn!" My eyes went wide immediately and I remembered I was supposed to be somewhere today. Well, it might just end up like the rest. They would definitely ask for the same thing again which is the letter, so I guess it'd be great if I just sit here and save my strength. No. No one knows what might happen. I looked up at the wall clock, the time was just six minutes to eight and I needed to be there before nine.I undressed and walked towards the bathroom, the water was cold but soothing, as I s

Aveline There his mom was, seated on one of the two visitor's chairs placed opposite the one that Draven usually sits on. The only thing that separates them is the expensive glass table. I looked past Draven, who was standing in front of me with his palm open and outstretched, like he was waiting for me to place my hands on them, to stare at his mother. If this asshole thinks that I am going to do his bidding just because I came back, then he is gravely mistaken. I just need to complete this deal that I had already started with a huge business company. It was a huge deal that this company actually needs, so it can be my parting gift with them. "What is wrong with you?" Draven's mom stared at me with a slightly pissed expression. Wait!Hold on a minute here; I don't think we are getting the situation clearly. Who is supposed to be pissed here?There is no way she is the one that's supposed to piss; I did nothing wrong to make her pissed, but the same can't be said for her son and

Aveline Take responsibility for something that was clearly not my fault. It was not like I had any other choice than to right the wrong that I did not commit. I was obviously fuming on the way to the other company, whose representatives had left in a bad mood with clearly a bad review about the deal that was supposed to have been finalized by now or a couple minutes ago. I was muttering words that would have seemed incoherent to others and sounded as gibberish if I was in the midst of a large group of people, given the way my driver had been staring at me through the rearview mirror. “Is anything the matter, ma’am? You seemed to be in a very bad mood,” he had asked me five minutes after we left the office. I had simply lied and told him nothing; the lie was obvious. What I had said and the way I was behaving were contradicting each other. He had wanted to push but decided against it and just stuck to glancing at me through the rearview mirror at intervals. The fact that he had

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.

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.

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.

Kade"W- what are you doing?" Betty asked confusion spread over her face as Kade began to bind her hands and legs."You just wait, my dear. Trust your uncle now will you?" He faked a smile and tied up the last piece of rope."Where's my mom?" She asked again, her voice shaking with each word."There are some things you don't know about your mom Betty. Your mom has done some bad things to me but it's not a problem anymore, because I have you now." Kade smiled.Betty pressed her back against the frame of the chair but it was too late to escape now. "Your mom is not here. I'm sure you've figured that out by now." Kade continued"But I plan to put you in her place. She's owing me a great deal and I don't like to be owed."Betty broke into tears. Not because she was standing in for her mom but because she disobeyed Draven. He would be all over the place looking for her."Can you call Draven, and tell him that I am safe?" She asked amidst tears of regret.Kade squinted as a smug smile cros

DravenWithout any word from Kade for eighteen hours, Draven was scattering everything in his path. From the chairs to the papers in front of him to the walls. He had a bandage tied over his previous injury but he didn't relent. Neither did he stop punching the walls.Kade was a bastard. That was certain. He was messing with Draven's mind and eating deep into him at the same time.Handing over Aveline's company, Aveline's hard work over the years was non-negotiable even considering her absence but Betty was involved. The only heir to Aveline's company was involved. Draven felt like he was a train of bad luck. Everyone who loved him, every single person he cared about always ended up in one danger or the other.First, it was Aveline and now, Betty. Draven was about to punch the wall in anger again when his phone's notification drew his attention.It was another video from Kade and this time around, Betty was in chains. Although, the tape was still glued to her legs, separately, her

KadeJust as he promised, he headed for his niece's school that day. It was his last opportunity to get what he wanted and have been fighting for for years.As usual, he got there in time to wait for the students to come out of their classes. And there was, Betty. His last ticket to getting what he wanted in life."Hey pretty..." he greeted but Betty changed direction and walked back towards the class.He chased after her. His niece was not out yet so he had some time with Betty before she stepped out. "Hey, hey, what is it?" He asked nervously when he caught up to her.The little girl had an unreasonable expression on her face and it made Kade all the more suspicious. "Didn't you see me waving at you? Why did you turn around? Are you not happy to see me?" Kade threw question after question, desperate for answers.But Betty just stared at him while she tried to free herself from his grasp."What is wrong huh? Did Uncle do something wrong? Why are you not talking to me?" He continued
