LOGINRILEYI stood outside the courtyard.It's been a complete month after Ava's death and our alliance with the humans.Things were beginning to show signs of a new future.In just a month, Xavier had been able to do a lot of rebuilding in the pack.We no longer had borders that demarcated the wolf territory and that of humans.The pack felt like it was another city in New York, and so do other packs in other states and countries.“Thank you,” I smiled at a maidservant who dropped a plate of cookies on the table.“Hey,” The voice I would never forget in a million years spoke from behind me.I turned, a huge smile on my face.“Hi, Alec,” I greeted, hiding my ears, which were already turning red like a tomato.“Can I sit with you?” he asked softly, and I nodded, not being able to talk.He remained quiet, but I could feel his gaze on me.“So,” he said, finally. "what’s the plan for the future?”I swallowed hard and exhaled deeply. “About that,” I said, biting my lip. “I’ve been offered a scho
CALEBI walked into Ava's room, and it still had her scent.It felt like she never left.It's been a month since her death and burial.I walked towards her large picture frame and wiped the dust off it with my palms.A smile curved up my face as I stared at it.“Ava guess what?” I whispered to the picture. “I was given an ambassador award and I've been asked to start work at the New York Federal law firm.”Working at this law firm had always been my dream after I graduated from college.Ava had tried so many ways to get me an internship there during our relationship days, but it didn't work out and today, I was being offered a position at the office all in Ava's name.It was as though she were still here.Even in death, she still had her ways.Ava I know I never had the opportunity of ever telling you this, but you were the best thing to have ever happened to me.Starting from the first day I met you, trying to jump down from the slide when we were six, and those years we had to juggl
XAVIERIt was a complete day after Ava's burial.We were still in mourning, but there were things yet to be done. And today they must be fulfilled.I sat in the conference room, where flags of every nation hung, and the room was filled with presidents, generals, prime ministers, and journalists.They were all filled with people who once sat alone and decided whether my people should be destroyed or not.They waited for me to speak or for Simon to speak.I sat, hands folded, back straight, head raised high and eyes glaring. To my right Simon sat, silent, enough to tear down the building, his jaw tightened as he glared at the leaders of all the nations.I noticed that Selene's fingers trembled silently as she clasped her hands together, grief still locked in her eyes.Logan stood behind me, his posture sharp, eyes scanning the room.Caleb and Ruby sat silently, minds far away from the conference room.Emelia, Riley, Alex, Tessa, Trixie, Gwen and the other packs' alphas, betas or Lunas f
XAVIERThe world was silent, everyone grieved.The death of a great hero had weakened everyone.Werewolves, humans and even the animals felt her departure.Today was the day she would finally be laid to rest, a day she was to be with the mother earth.But Ava didn't just die empty, she achieved things even I, as an alpha, couldn't.Her death finally brought peace between the humans and Werewolves.We stood at the cemetery of the great foreign heroes of the country.The president decided that it was better if she were given a proper burial like the hero she was.The warriors marched in, her coffin felt like.It shouldn't have, Ava was a hero who carried so much weight wherever she went.Selene broke down immediately when she set her eyes on the coffin. Riley hugged Emelia as she sobbed quietly. Ruby walked out of the place, wiping her tears.And Caleb, he stood, just staring.I could tell from where I stood that he was trying too hard not to cry. He looked empty and wasted.Mr Simon Lo
RUBY’S POVMy heart felt heavy, my stomach grumbled.I stared at her picture, longer than I ever did.Few hours ago, she was hale and hearty, cheerful and ordering commands and now, it's over.She was gone.My best friend was dead and it was over.If only she hadn't found out about my magic, if only I had let her escape five years ago when we had first met.Maybe she wouldn't have returned back to the pack, she wouldn't have become head alpha and she wouldn't have died.She wasn't meant to sacrifice herself to save us. I'm sure that if we had looked closer, then there would have being a way to save her.But Ava didn't tell anyone, she fought this war alone and now, she's dead.“Fuck you, Ava,” I whispered, my voice breaking as soon as the words left my mouth.I forced myself up, my legs trembling as I walked. I dragged my legs to her room and with every step I took, it felt like a mistake.The door creaked open, her scent still lingered.Caleb sat in the middle of the room, not moving
SELENEThe explosion echoed, the ground rumbled.It was done.The war was over, we had won, but she didn't make it.My knees buckled as I rushed to her. Her lifeless body was lying on the dirt.Her smile gone, her sharp glaring eyes shut.My alpha was gone, the alpha of the Athenian pack was no more.She lay still, not moving, not breathing... nothing.My chest tightened, my breathing slowed.Even though we won, we still lost a great deal. We lost a hero.The guards came and carried her body away.I stared, not because I wanted to, but because that was all I could do.“Ava,” I called, barely opening my mouth. My voice sounded small.“Ava,” I called again, standing to my feet.Warriors stood, frozen in time. Some stood, others kneeling.The weight of what was dawning on them was that their leader was gone.“No... no...” I whispered, trying to catch my breath.She was really gone, for good.I felt a hand wrap around my shoulder, I needed no one to tell me who it was.I turned, placing m
