Daddy's Enemy is My Mate 31
Ava's POV The castle seemed to have been built long ago by a king; the outside was covered in ivy and the inside was full of grand rooms and towering staircases. William led me through the castle then stopped in front of a door and knocked twice. After a few moments, the door was opened by a tall, pale man with piercing eyes. "William, my dear friend!" he exclaimed, leaning forward to hug him. He then turned his gaze to me. "And who might this be?” "Oh, forgive me," William clicked his tongue. "This is Ava, a friend of mine. Ava, meet Christopher, one of my oldest and dearest friends." I smiled and shook Christopher's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. William has told me so much about you." Christopher returned the smile and led us into the room. "And it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Ava. William speaks very highly of you as well.” We entered a large room filled with people and music. “William, this place is really big; I don’t know what to do here,” I complained but befor

William's POV “I’ve noticed Ava has felt out of place during many of our voyages,” Thomas told me with a worried expression. “Yes, I did notice that too,” I replied. “But I'm really trying my best to protect her and help her settle in.” I paused, then continued, “Even though she’s out of her element, she’s always eager to learn and try new things. I can tell she’s a natural explorer, and I really admire her courage and determination.” Thomas nodded. “True. Even when we went on the journey to that isolated island. It was a stunning place, with white sand beaches and crystal but we soon found out it was also home to a group of hostile natives. They didn't like visitors much.” I smiled. “Yeah, I could tell Ava was feeling nervous and scared, and I did my best to reassure her. She was still eager to explore though.” I added, “The natives were closing in on us, and it was clear that we needed to make a run for it. So I grabbed Ava's hand and led her into the jungle.” Thomas laughed.

William's POV The merchant cleared her throat and began, "I have heard great things about you from a mutual contact of ours in Morocco. You see, they mentioned that you were a trusted business partner and someone I could rely on for advice. Is it safe to discuss this in front of Mia?" I was taken aback by her question. “Who could our mutual contact be?” My mind raced as I wondered. “It’s clear that she’s interested in more than just my spices. I wonder what kind of information she had heard about me.” With a deep breath, I nodded, "Of course. Mia is a trusted partner of mine and can be present in any business discussions we'll have." The merchant took a sip of wine and spoke in a low, serious voice, "I understand that you have moved a lot of illicit cargo for Mallam Abu, including humans." She looked at Mia, who was in shock. "Yes," I replied as I poured myself some wine. "But let me assure you, I hate people who talk too much, whatever we discuss dies in our meetings." "I unde

Mia's POV As I walked down the hallway to the Merchant's bedroom, I couldn't help but feel nervous. “What should I expect? I've never been with a woman before. Yet, the thought of exploring this side of myself with the Merchant is both exhilarating and terrifying.” I knocked gently on her bedroom door. “You can come in,” I heard the Merchant's voice from inside. As I opened the door, I was greeted with the sight of the Merchant sitting on the bed. She wore a nightgown but it barely covered any meaningful flesh. "Mia, you look so beautiful," she said, reaching out a hand to me. I took her hand and immediately felt a shiver run through me. "Thank you," I replied with a trembling voice. “Come.” The Merchant gestured for me to sit with her on the bed, and I did so. "Mia, I have wanted you since I saw you. We keep very busy schedules and I know it would be a while before I would see you again, so I figured I have to make my move on you today." I took a deep breath, feeling the tens

Mia's POV I watched as the ship pulled into port at Casablanca, the bustling city of Morocco. With a sigh of relief, I took a deep breath. “I'm so glad to be back on solid ground!” I said to myself audibly. I could see Ava and William eagerly hopping off the ship, immediately venturing into the colorful city. “I really just want to take a stroll, see what the day has in store for me here.” As I stepped off the ship, I felt a sense of freedom coursing through my veins. “I can't wait to explore the city—to discover its secrets and hidden gems.” I wandered through the streets, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city. The smells of street food and exotic spices. The architecture and design. It was all exciting. As I walked through the crowded streets, I stumbled into a tiny café. “Hmm…” I tried to understand the sign written above the door but it was in a language I couldn't read. The interior was dark, only a few small tables covered in plastic tablecloths. “Smells

William's POV As I walked with Ava, I tried to keep my mind focused on the task at hand. “The port was a bustling hub of activity, with merchant ships coming and going, carrying all sorts of exotic goods from the far reaches of the world.” I looked around. “And yet, despite the chaos and noise, there was an unsettling feeling of stillness in the air, as if everyone was just going through the motions.” I had left Thomas to oversee the ship's unloading, trusting him to handle the logistics while I set off to find Mallam Abu's place. “Who's Mallam Abu?” Ava asked me suddenly. “He seems like a large commodity seller on the surface, but he’s actually one of the biggest suppliers of slave labor to Europe.” I heard Ava gasp at my reply. We pushed our way through the crowd of sailors, travelers, and merchants. It was a maze of tents and stalls, with vendors hawking their wares from every direction. “So, where's Mallam Abu?” Ava asked me as I scanned the stalls. “I don't know…” I saw a

Thomas' POV "William, Ava, you have to come with me," I said. “It's really urgent. An important… issue has come up." William and Ava exchanged a worried look before quickly breaking their embrace. “Let's go," William said, his voice equally serious. We met Mia at the other end of the deck of the ship. “Mia, what's wrong?” Ava asked. “Well…” She glanced at me. “Well, I was walking through the bustling streets of Casablanca, taking in the sights and sounds of the city, when I noticed a man following me. At first, I thought he was just another tourist, but as I made my way into an alley, he was still behind me." Mia paused to look at me with uncertainty and I nudged her with my eyes. “Go on.” "Well, you see, I stopped in my tracks and turned around, facing him directly to confront him but he held out his hand, offering me a business card. ‘My boss would like to meet you,’’ he said and I hesitated, trying to assess the situation. But I just couldn't follow him. I mean, I was in a fo

Thomas' POV "I need two of you to follow Johnson and track his every move," William instructed. "We can't afford any mistakes on this mission." “We can do that,” two of our werewolves, Tom and Jim, volunteered for the task. William nodded. "I need you to be hidden," he said. "Follow him, but don’t let him know you're there. Report back to me as soon as you have any info." With a nod, Tom and Jim slipped away. The rest of the pack gathered around William, waiting for the next set of orders. "We need to get going," William ordered. "We need to reunite with Mia and Ava as soon as possible." "What took you so long?" Mia asked, a note of concern in her voice as William, the others and I returned to the ship. "We were starting to worry." William breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the rest of the crew gathered together on the deck. "Things didn't go as planned," he replied. "We ran into some trouble on land and were delayed longer than expected." Mia smiled. "But you are all here n
