William's POV Thomas burst into my chambers, his face pale with fear. "Lady Ava, she's been stabbed!" I looked up from what I was doing. “What?!” His voice shook as he spoke. "She's been unconscious since it happened and her wound isn't healing!" I felt a lump form in my throat. “Ava, my beloved mate. Injured?” I thought. “And to make matters worse, her wound isn’t healing? What kind of cursed weapon did her attackers use? What kind of sorcery is this?’ I raced through the deck, the sound of my footsteps reverberating through the empty rooms. Thomas was right behind me, his expression grim, and a determination in his eyes that matched my own. "We have to get to Ava," he shouted, his breath coming in short gasps as he ran. "We have to save her, no matter what!" I nodded, my heart beating wildly in my chest. As we burst through the door to Ava's cabin, the sight of her, lying on her bed, so pale and weak, took my breath away. She looked so small, so fragile, and so vulnerable. "
William's POV We moved quickly through the back alleys of the town, seizing every human who had their scent on Ava and dragging them back to our ship. "We won't be stopped," I said, my voice filled with determination as I dragged a struggling human behind me. "These humans will pay for what they did to Ava." “Be careful William. We only have a matter of time before the humans find out what we’re doing.” “Don’t worry, as long as we’re fast about it,” I replied to Thomas’ warning. As we entered the alleyway where we had seen the first group of humans who had attacked Ava, I could feel the anger boiling within me. "Let's make them pay," I said, my voice filled with determination. Sensing our werewolf power, they hid in the shadows, their eyes fixed on us as we approached. Then, as soon as the coast seemed clear, they tried to run. Sadly, we were faster. “Get them!” I commanded. One of the shadows Clan members pounced, and before the humans could react. We fought with ferocity that
Ava's POV As I made my way through the bustling streets of the small town, I kept a close eye on the two guards William had assigned me. I made it my first task to lose them. Then, I looked around for a crowded street or a dark alleyway where I could slip away unnoticed. "We need to keep a close eye on her," one of the guards said to the other. "I know, but she's been trained by Master William himself. We'll have to keep our distance," the other guard replied. I quickened my pace, trying to blend in with the crowd of people. I rounded the corner into the alley, I heard the sounds of footsteps behind me. I turned to see the two guards had followed me. "She's making a run for it," one of the guards said to the other, as they tried to keep me in their sight. I picked up my pace, sprinting towards the end of the alleyway. I took a quick glance over my shoulder to see how close the guards were. They were gaining on me fast. Just as I reached the end of the alleyway, I jumped up over
William's POV I stood in the command center of my ship, my eyes scanning over the consoles and gauges with various data. Thomas stood beside me, his hand resting on the control panel. "Thomas, you'll be in charge of the ship while I take a break," I said, turning to him. He nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, Alpha. You can count on me." I smiled at him, feeling a sense of reassurance. "I know I can, Thomas. You're the most competent officer on this ship." Thomas smiled back at me, his expression still serious. "Thank you, Alpha. I'll keep the ship running smoothly until you return." I nodded, feeling my heart beating faster with anticipation. "I'll be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, stay alert and monitor the sensors for any potential threats." Thomas nodded, his eyes focused on the gauges in front of him. "I'll keep us safe and secure, Alpha. You can count on me." I turned and left the command center, making my way through the ship to Ava's cabin. My mind was racing
Ava's POV I slowly opened my eyes, feeling William's chest beneath me. “What happened?” I racked my brain for an answer but then I remembered, “Oh, I fell asleep on William last night.” I sat up slowly, my eyes adjusting to the light from the window. I glanced at William, who was still sleeping beside me. I smiled. “I’m glad to have you here, William. Even though we were in such a dangerous situation.” As I looked down at my nightgown, I suddenly realized that it had come undone. Now, my navel, crotch, and legs were fully exposed. I felt a flush of embarrassment wash over me as I said to myself, “I have to fix this quickly, without waking up William.” I carefully pulled the fabric of the gown together, trying to rethread the strings without making any noise. I managed to get the gown back together and I let out a sigh of relief. I glanced at William again. “Thank goodness he’s still asleep.” Carefully, I slipped off the little couch and made my way to the bathroom where I took
William's POV I walked onto the ship's bridge where the captain and Thomas already stood. Both of them were deep in thought, their eyes fixed on the map laid out in front of them. "Morning, Thomas," I said, my voice low as I approached them. Thomas turned to face me. "Morning, William. Glad to see you made it on time." I nodded, a sense of urgency washed over me. "Of course," I said. "We need to come up with a plan to start eradicating our adversaries as soon as possible." As Thomas and I sat on the ship's bridge, he took a deep breath and turned to face me. "William, there's something else we need to discuss," he said, his voice low and serious. I nodded, my eyes fixed on him. "What is it, Thomas?" I asked, my voice filled with curiosity. Thomas leaned in closer, his eyes locked on mine. "We're not just going up against gangs in Europe and the Middle East, William.” "We're essentially going up against every human who trades drugs, slaves and guns." I nodded, my eyes fixed on
William's POV As I woke up, I felt ready for whatever the day had in store. I sat up and stretched out. I got dressed and went over to Ava's cabin. As I entered, I saw her standing in the corner, brushing her hair. "Hey, love," I said, my voice low and filled with affection. She turned around and smiled. "Hey, my Alpha," she replied, her voice low and filled with love. "Ava, I’ve been thinking," I said as I approached her. She raised a brow. "About what?" "The potion you made," I replied. "I want every shadow Clan member to have a bottle of it on them when we go for human raids." Ava's eyes widened, her eyebrows raised in surprise. "But why?" "Because it's a game changer," I whispered into her ear. "Because it's going to save so many lives." Ava leaned into me, her arms around my waist, her head resting on my chest. "I love it," she whispered back, her voice low and filled with admiration. I felt a sense of pride as I listened to Ava talk: “I really appreciate you giving m
Mia's POV As I approached Ava's cabin door, my excitement for the human blood feast grew. I tapped on the door, my heartbeat quickening as I waited for Ava to answer. After a moment, the door creaked open, and I saw her standing there "My dear," she said, her tone warm and welcoming. "What brings you to my cabin at this hour?" I grinned as I looked at her. Ava was always ready for good gossip. "I heard talk of a human blood feast," I said, my voice low and full of excitement. "And I wanted to know your plans as we head out to hunt." Ava's eyes widened, and she nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "This is exactly what we have been waiting for," she said. "Let's finally take action and show our rivals who's boss." As I asked Ava if she was ready to make human blood a major part of her diet, I saw the determination in her eyes as she nodded and said in a low and full of excitement "Yes, Mia. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to help our clan achieve its goals, besides I need
