Dravin's POV As I strolled through the hallway, I couldn't help but notice the significant improvements made to the mansion with me none the wiser. Elora seemed to have doubled her efforts on improving the Pack in ways I couldn't have been bothered to even consider. It does help having the delicate attention to detail of a female. Elora complimented my rule in ways I couldn't explain. Which brings me to the reason for my stroll. Soren's investigations gave me quite a few interesting revelations. First of all, it seemed Elora wasn't the actual incarnation of Irikah in this generation but a last ditch effort to preserve her life which has most likely been cut short by circumstances I assume we're related to Kael and his Luna. Ava. Scarred just like Elora.That was the biggest inconsistency in the story the goddess wove. Irikah was never scarred. In fact, there was no living being then and now who could compare to Irikah's beauty. Her beauty was one that might have shamed the
Ava's POV The next few days were ones of careful planning.Morning sickness affected my day's activities, but I did my best to mask it, even from Lyanna.With my mind set, all that I had to do now was accomplish it.I needed to get this child aborted before anyone truly noticed that I was pregnant.Today, I slipped away from my duties to see the doctor and speak to him about my decision.As I walked into the hospital, the nurses and even patients got on their feet and bowed to welcome me into their midst.Lyanna's fierce presence behind me seemed to terrify them as well.Despite her small stature, she was quite an imposing figure.I smiled at the sight—a mandatory action as the loving Luna that I was."You can relax," I said as I strolled towards the doctor's office. "I'm simply here for an appointment.""The doctor is not in his office right now, Luna," a nurse said, her head still bowed."Then, go get him," Lyanna retorted calmly.Even though her voice was relaxed, it still sounded
Ava's POV A knock on the door of my office caught my attention, pulling me away from my work."Hello, Luna," Soren smiled as he walked in. "I trust you're having a good day?""If slaving away in here for the better part of the day is your definition of a good day, then I'm having a great day."Soren chuckled at that."I never knew you had a sense of humour, Luna. You're usually stoic.""It's hard to be humorous around the Alpha, and you know it," I replied with a sigh."True," Soren nodded. "I'm surprised he hasn't ripped me apart by now, since I still manage to laugh in his face.""You're quite lucky," I smiled. "So, is there a reason you're here?""A little bit of a reason," he smiled. "Nothing serious, but I thought I should ask you."I cocked an eyebrow at that."I'm listening."Soren gave me a long look before speaking again."What are your plans, Luna?"His tone had gone quiet, cold even. He was no longer the jovial and easygoing Soren. He was now Soren, the Beta to the Demon Al
Jeff's POV"Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!" I yelled as I smashed the mirror. "Why is that bitch still alive?!""Jeff, calm down," my brother Vince replied. "You're distracting me.""What the fuck is there to not be distracted about?!" I hissed. "I invested a lot of resources in those fools and I got nothing in return. That bitch, Avala, is still alive and I'm stuck in here hoping this shit doesn't blow up in our faces any second from now! What if those guys spill the beans?!""Yelling isn't going to solve anything," he sighed."But it sure as hell is making me feel better," I retorted. "Shit! I don't feel even a little bit better!""See?" he sighed again. "This is just a waste of your energy. This anger is supposed to be directed at finding a solution to this problem.""And what solution do you propose?" I hissed. "Because I sure as hell don't see one. Just how hard is it to kill one stupid bitch?!""Calm your ass down!" he yelled, standing up abruptly, and his brown eyes changed to yellow as h
Dravin's POV "I don't want to travel, Soren," I said as I read through the papers. Soren had found traces of the Outlanders and was suggesting that I go with him to a different region to see Packs he suspected were being plagued by them. "Why not, Dravin?" Soren asked. "These guys are unpredictable, which makes them incredibly dangerous. The fact that they're confident they could kill you is enough reason for you to take this seriously.""I don't care if they can kill me, Soren," I replied. "In fact, I'd encourage them to try.""And then what?" Soren hissed. "What happens to the Pack? To the region? What do we do then?" "What if they'll all be better off without me?" I asked. "Have you thought about it?""I have, and I came to the conclusion that they won't," he replied immediately."That's your sentiment speaking," I scoffed. "The truth is quite the opposite. My presence has created an unattainable threshold for power. The desire for that unattainable power has created a thirst t
Ava's POV The rest of the day was a blur. One that I couldn't even bring myself to follow. I could barely focus on work. I cried at every opportunity I got, and I checked the letter every single time to be sure that I hadn't misread the entire thing... or hoped I had. I was pregnant with Dravin's child. This worsens things. This was the worst-case scenario yet. "Your tea, Luna," Lyanna said as she placed a steaming cup of tea on my desk. "You seem like you need to relax.""I'm fine, Lyanna," I said, my voice hoarse from all the crying I had done in private. "I have made sure your visits for the day are done," Lyanna said calmly as she arranged the scrolls and documents littered all over my desk. "You will not have to worry about another visitor today.""What time is it?" I asked absentmindedly as I stared at the letter. "It's still midday, Luna," she answered as she worked. "It's too early to be done with work," I sniffed as I wiped my eyes. "You can go inform them that I can
