Daddy's Enemy is My Mate

Ava's POV I am Ava, the daughter of the Blue River Clan Alpha, Robert. Members of our Clan address him with all sort of titles from a simple "Sir, Lord, My Liege," to even more absurd words in our native language that sound like short songs, "Hahaha...funny bunch, " but to me he's just daddy. To the public, he's stern and commands immense power within our Clan, I think some of those folks even fear him. My father is a wise and kind wolf who has always been there for me. He loves me deeply and spoils me with gifts, but sometimes I feel suffocated by his love and protectiveness. We have a close bond, but I can't help but feel a longing for something beyond the walls of the Blue River Clan territory, I have not been out of our little village since I was born and I am nineteen years old. My father has always been a source of comfort and wisdom for me, there was a time when I was still a cub when he had to tell me something that would change my life. It was a dark and stormy night, and t

Ava's POV "My lady, Mia is waiting for you in your bedroom," the maid informed me. As soon as I got to my room and spotted Mia lounging casually on my bed, I felt some familiarity and peace. "Hey!” She smiles widely at me. “Really, I didn't see you again last night after we danced together at the festival.” She stood up and began walking over to where I sat on the bed, taking a seat beside. "I know what you must be thinking and you don't have to worry. I told your father you were assisting some female wolves with errands, or else he would have been searching for you everywhere." “Oh my, thank you so much Mia.” I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed as of a burden had been taking off my shoulders. “Goodness knows what would have happened if you didn't tell my Dad. Thanks.” She waves off the gratitude then her face turns serious. "But really, I've been so worried sick about you?” She puts my hand in hers. “So, princess Ava, do you mind telling me where you were last night?" She rai

William's POV I caught up with Thomas in the tavern. He was a tall, muscular male wolf who had served as my beta for many years. I needed his help and I knew he was always up for an adventure. "Thomas, I need your help with something," I said, taking a seat at his table. “Yes sir, anything.” The enthusiasm in his tone never got old. I smirked and began, reclining, "Well, I met this girl… she was small. It was at the Luna festival. And since we spent that night together, I haven't been able to stop thinking about her.” I stopped and looked at him. “I need to find her again." He grinned and drained his ale, nodding his head. "Ok ok, just give a little description and I'll locate her in no time." "I like your confidence.” I praised him. Then, thinking back to that night, I tried to picture her once again. “She had on this beautiful white silk dress with pearls and roses embroidered on it.” I paused, realizing. “Can we ask the merchants if they sold any dresses that match that descr

Ava's POV “The weight of this secret felt heavy on my shoulders,” I thought to myself. “This isn’t as easy as I hoped. Why does it have to involve my family so much?” Daddy looked at Mia and I, and seeing the discomfort on our faces, he dismissed us. "Ava, Mia, I think it's time for you two to head out." We looked at each other and nodded. Daddy watched as Mia and I left the hallway into my room. “Now that they're gone, let's get back to business,” I heard him tell his fellow wolfmen and they began to chatter. Meanwhile, I got into the room with Mia, feeling utterly confused. “I don't know Mia. I don't think I can keep the secret of what I did that festival night from my Dad any longer. The guilt is killing me.” I fell to my bed, fed up. “What do I do?” Mia then walked over to me and placed a gentle touch on my shoulder. “Ava, don't worry. Besides, I told you, it's not a big deal. As long as he's not someone from the Shadow Clan.” If only Mia knew William was the one I spent the

William's POV On the fifth day of my stay in the Blue River Clan territory, my subordinates were already hard at work bringing down the equipment from our ship, preparing to transport it to the shore. “Make sure the pieces of equipment are moved by tomorrow,” I'd told them last night. “Yes Sir,” they’d agreed, not wanting to disappoint their commander. “Jack!” I walked over to the tall, muscular crew member. “Seems like everything's going well. I guess naking you in charge of overseeing everything wasn't a bad idea.” I patted his shoulder. He gave a proud grin. “The pleasure's all mine, Captain!” I stared at the men work for a while. “They're such great working—quite a fine bunch of men. I didn't think they'd be so committed to the task at hand.” Jack replied, “With their combined efforts—and without any issues—they’d be able to get the job done on time.” I turned to one of the younger members of the crew who I rembered as Tom. He was a skilled carpenter. “Tom,” I pointed to t
