CHAPTER FIVE
'I reject you'“What are you doing here?” I asked angrily as I stood to my feet. Even though my wolf wanted me to run into his arms and kiss him, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was very angry at him… For disappearing this morning …. For making me leave my pack, my mother."I just saved you from that bastard and that’s what you ask me? And who the fuck is him, I'm going to kill that coward.” the stranger said, shifting back into his human form. He seemed serious about his threat on Jekyll's life and honestly I was in support.“Don't you try to change the subject. You left me, after we made love. You just disappeared into thin air. I didn't know where you were until I woke up and realized that you weren't there beside me. It hurt me, it really did, you know that?”I could see a glint of empathy in his eyes. I'm sure he could see the pain in my eyes as well."I'm sorry. I had important things to attend to." he whispered. His hands moved to my hips as he pulled me close to him. “But I’m here now.”“I don’t want you. I know you’re from the Midnight Pack. I don’t want anything to do with a wolf like you,” I snarled, pushing him away.“That’s why you didn’t tell me your name, that’s why you left right? Because you’re a rogue?" I asked.“No, I didn’t tell you my name because you never ask. But I can tell you now.” he replied moving closer to me, he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me towards him again, capturing me in his emerald gaze."I am called Kaden, Kaden Delacourt. I am the Alpha of the Midnight Pack," he spoke with so much authority in his voice, no wonder the aura around him was intimidating and powerful, he was an Alpha.I couldn't stop my jaw from dropping open as I looked up at him.“You’re… you’re the …Alpha?” I stuttered. My mind raced as I thought of my luck. I really was an unlucky wolf. The moon goddess must be playing tricks on me.“Yes,” Kaden answered, stroking my cheek softly. How could I be mated to the Alpha of rogues?I didn’t feel the same way at the moment, I couldn't feel anything. Yes I loved him, I wanted to be with him. My wolf was screaming for him but I couldn't let myself fall for a wolf like him. I just couldn't. Not even after finding out who he really is.The cruel and heartless Alpha that everyone feared and hated.“I don't think we should mate,” I said, moving away from him as I picked up her bags and began to walk into the dark forest.“Why not? I want you, You want me. You and I were both destined to be together.” Kaden looked confused.“That's the problem, I don’t want you Kaden,” I said, looking into his eyes as I spoke. "I really don't. You’re the reason I’m leaving home. You’re the reason I’m going rogue. I have no family because of you.” My words seem to have an effect on him.“I can take you to my pack, you will be my Luna.” he barked.“You mean the Midnight Pack?” I asked.“Yes.”“No, over my dead body will I be your Luna.” I scoffed, turning back to face him. “In fact, I , Ava Sinclair, reject you, Alpha Kaden of Midnight Pack." I said, raising my hand in front of my chest. I took a step towards him and placed my palm on his chest.“I don’t want you Kaden,” I said, looking into his eyes as I spoke. "I really don't. You’re the reason I’m leaving home. You’re the reason I’m going rogue. I have no family because of you….“ I continued listing all the reasons why I didn’t want to be mates with the Alpha hoping it sticks.However, Kaden didn’t say anything, he just crossed his hands, staring at me and waiting for me to finish."Are you done?" he asked calmly.I looked shocked and annoyed at him for a moment.How could he possibly act so calm? Wasn't he supposed to be the big bad wolf that scared everybody away. Why wasn't he mad at me for rejecting him or saying mean things to him? Why was he standing there looking at me, making me weak , making me feel vulnerable? He was supposed to hate me, be pissed that I was rejecting his offer but instead, he looked concerned which only angered me further.I opened her mouth to speak once more but suddenly I felt my back collide with the tree behind me, his lips crashed onto mine once more, taking control.I struggled but soon faced his warm kisses. Oh goddess, What was this Alpha doing to me?CHAPTER 6Ava's Point Of View'Wolves that read minds'I could feel the burning intensity in Kaden's kiss, my rogue alpha mate. I tried to push him off me but this was what I needed. I needed to feel the warmth of my mate, I needed his touch. I craved his kisses.'No but he is a rogue! The beginning of all your misfortunes. He is the reason why you had to run away from home.' my better judgment tried to plead it's case. But my wolf was more than forgiving to our mate. Should I really forgive him?"Come with me!" He says breaking off the kiss, leaving me panting hard."Let's go back to my pack. I'll protect you and I promise to make it up to you. If you are my mate Ava, then we belong together, that much is obvious." Kaden said holding my hands, his eyes screamed sincerity. I really wanted so badly to believe every word he was telling me.But everything we werewolves have been taught ever since we were little pups were not to trust the words of rogues. They would say whatever they neede
Chapter 7I quickly finished up my dinner and started making my way back to my room, I felt completely tired and drained. I needed to get some rest. Suddenly, a masculine scent mixed with forest breeze hits me hard. It was intoxicating my entire senses, setting me in a high.'Mate!' my wolf sang happily. She really didn't mind that our mate was in fact the Alpha of rogues, after all I wasn't one to be judge, I could be called a rogue too.Maybe I should give him a chance.The scent was coming from the last room along the hall way. As if my feets had a mind of their own I raced towards the scent. I entered the room to see Kaden sitting behind a messy desk."Ava," he calls standing up. I could see a familiar look of the affection he showed me the night we mated but soon it faded into an unreadable stare. It was replaced with hate."Kole told me you weren't around." I say with a smile, all he reciprocated it with was a cold stare."I only came back just now. What do you want?" He answere
Chapter 8Kaden's Point Of ViewAnger was all I felt. I had so many reasons to be angry. I was angry at myself, I was angry at the moon goddess and I was angry about my mate.I was training with some warriors at the training ground, I needed to let off some steam, something to distract my thoughts, any distraction that I could get was welcomed. Without warning all the warriors including my beta Adrian charged at me, lunging and attacking me with every trick in their arsenal.My eyes changed from its glowing emerald gem color to a fiery red glow, it was an indication that my wolf, Ace, was sharing partial control with me.In swift strokes I thrashed and sent them falling against the dusty earth at every corner.Adrian charged at me from behind, his claws were extended, swinging for my head, but I easily managed to duck just in time. I let out a low growl in annoyance, I pounced at him, circling my claws around his neck, then pinning him to the ground. I growled at him, getting him to l
Ava's Point Of ViewNight had befallen the castle and the rogues were already outside busy doing their bonfire thing.I stood, staring out through the window, getting ready for my grand escape. Okay, it isn't so grand like I made it out to be, the plan was just going out through the window and bounded for freedom.Like I said it was grand.I walked to the grand window and opened it breathing in the fresh chilly night air. Finally, when I feel calm I decide to look down, that's a long way down."Fuck!" I curse looking down.I think I can make it! Right? I'm a freaking werewolf, of course I can, maybe I'll break a few bones but I'll be fine.I climb down gently and sit on the edge of the window before dropping, I land on my feet like I knew I would. I jumped out of a freaking four story castle! My wolf must be getting stronger!I look around the empty area before I sprint off into the trees. I continue to sprint loving the way the wind was blowing on my hair, I don't feel anxious anym
Ava's Point Of View The moonlight shone down on the gloomy foggy dark castle that sat still on top of the hill looming over nothingness that went on miles and miles. It really looked haunted.I look up at the ancient looking castle holding back my tears. I can't believe that I'm back here, one right move and I would have escaped. It was all that witch's fault!I shoot her my best murderous glare and she just smiles at it.I was out of the pack, I almost tasted freedom but she ruined it all, now I was doomed. Kaden was going to have my head for this, that's for sure."Relax, he is not going to kill you." The witch smirks."How do you know that he won't?" I shot at her."I know Kaden, a lot more than most people do. He isn't going to kill his mate, but he is going to make you suffer as fuck. Kaden always fancied torture." She explains. Just who the hell was this chick? How did she know so much about Kaden? By the way she speaks Kaden and she must have a deep rooted history together."D
Ava's Point Of ViewIf looks could kill, I would be dead by now, bleeding all over the floor with multiple incisions.The other woman stood there, just staring at me without saying a single word. She didn't need to though, her eyes said it all. She hated every piece of my existence, she wanted me gone out of her and Kaden lives so she could have Kade. I could tell she felt threatened by me."What the hell do you think you are doing in here, who gave you the permission to come out of your room?" She screamed. Kaden must have not told her that he himself gave me the permission to step out of my chambers. Oh goodness, this lunatic looked very pissed all because of me."Kaden. He gave me permission." I just said. If you looked carefully you could literally see steam coming out of her ears. She looked beyond furious.She was out for blood, whatever trouble she wanted to stir up, I didn't want any part in it this morning. I learnt my lesson pretty well from the last time and Kaden warned me
Ava's Point Of ViewA woman was stepping onto the stage towards a table set up in the center. She placed two bowls next to plates that were already prepared with food. Then she sat facing the pews and took a drink from one of the two glasses set as well. I was suspicious. Who was this stranger living within the goddess temple?"Won't you join me, Ava?" The woman suddenly asked loudly, her voice echoing throughout the room with ease. I ducked once again, trying to hide despite already being found. Then I was struck with another question, how the hell did she know my name? This felt really creepy."You don't want your food to get cold, do you?" The woman added.At the mention of food, especially food meant for my stomach rolled over with excitement even Lisa was now jumping in excitement. If anything could influence me to do something crazy, it had to be food. I took a deep breath and stood stubbornly, glaring at the strange woman suspiciously."What are you doing here?" I asked her bef
Ava's Point Of ViewThere was silence as I sat there, thinking about Mene's question. I could feel a great turmoil burn within me."Come, the temple exit is this way." she said, offering me her hand and I took it without even thinking, there was something about her presence, I couldn't explain it but it was comforting to me. With quiet determination, she began to lead me through a way out of the temple.We moved into a room, where wolves had no doubt previously come to worship the moon goddess and make offerings for their blessings. Now it was forever silent, removed from their culture.Mene led me further down a more secretive set of stairs until we were walking through the storage units. I spotted shelves of canned foods and preserves, but I wasn't given enough time to see exactly how extensive the food storage was. I was pulled into a rather dusty room and led through a series of cobwebs until Mene stopped to quietly lift an overhead latch.She hurriedly climbed up the steps that w
