Ava’s POVJust as Nora issued the command, my body trembled in fear. “Neva,” I whispered, but I didn’t hear a word. I was met with an eerie silence.It dawned on me that I might be deserted by my wolf as well. Just like how my parents had left me. My foster parents–everyone.I’m alone. I’m going to die without anyone noticing. Finally, today’s when I meet my ancestors. “No one is coming to save you,” Nora’s voice echoed through my thoughts.Yes, she was right. No one is truly coming to save me. It’s never happening.I watched the Beta raise his sword, accompanied by his claws.“I’m sorry. I’m only following orders,” he said slowly, and was about to strike me when I heard a low growl from the entrance.“Let her go!” the voice was sharp and commanding. I opened my eyes in disbelief. I know that voice. “Lark,” I gasped amidst my tears. “You came back,” I burst into tears.“Move back!” The Beta commanded, picking me up from the ground with his claws set to my throat.“Luna, get behind
Grindley’s POV“I can’t fight you, brother,” Lucan shouted. Obviously, if we continued in this battle, none of us would survive this. And our ashes will be the only thing history will have left recorded of us. “Surrender, Lucan,” I replied, pulling my claws from the neck of one of his soldiers that I just tore apart. We were already getting closer to each other. And one thing was clear. We have to face one another. We have to kill ourselves.Someone must die. But who will? “It’s clear that you’ll be the one to die, brother,” I added. “Why not put your swords down and serve me?” I proposed.At first, he kept his head bowed, looking at his environment, that were filled with soldiers fighting for their lives and for the pack at large.“And what makes you think I’d wanna do that?” He asked, pulling his sword out from one of my soldiers he just killed, too.I started to walk towards him, calculating every one of my steps. I know my brother. He can be very tricky when it comes to an at
Ava’s POVJust as we got to the hideout, I ran towards Penny, hugging her tightly.“I thought I’d lost you,” I cried on her shoulders.“I cannot die easily, fool!” Penny laughed in return. “I’m glad you are alive,”“No,” I shook my head in disapproval. “I’m glad you are alive,” I said, kissing her head before turning towards Lark and Xander.The rest of the pack was fewer than before. Sadness was written all over their faces.This was precisely what I was running from, and now my greatest fear has come to pass.“What do I do?” I whispered beneath my breath.“We stand and fight,”“Lark! Are you mad?!” I launched immediately, even before Xander could say another word.I could read between the lines. It was obvious that everyone was tired. I cannot continue to act this way. I’m the one they are looking for. And I need to learn how to destroy them.“So what? Are you really going to leave and face those things yourself?” Lark asked, gesturing with a sad expression.I’ve already risked my li
Ava’s POVThe grip of the shadows on me became loose, and suddenly they became visible.The Moon goddess came for me. She’s here. I can feel her.My strength increased, and everything around me suddenly came to life.The blood that had dropped on my body suddenly cleared off. The clouds began to gather, and the skies started pouring their content.“I thought you were going to leave me.” I cried out, my tears mixed with rain.I tried to get on my feet as I watched the shadows become visible, something we could see.“We need to stand on the ground and fight. This is war,” Pamela warned, and the fight began.Right now, we can see the shadows we fight. And I hope that’s the same all over the world.I felt my bones snap, and my senses heightened. My legs started to turn, and my fingers began to bring out their claws just when I needed it.This only means one thing. “My wolf, she’s here,” I smiled and howled into the air.Sticking to Pamela as we got surrounded by the shadow soldiers. “If I
Ava’s POV“Lark…fuck!” I moaned as I felt his wet lips on my nipples. Teasing them with tiny little bites.“Shhh…you don’t want the kids to hear that,” Lark giggled with his finger sliding in and out of me.I held the bedsheet tighter as I curled my toes. Gasping for air that seemed a bit unavailable. I dug my fingers into his back.“Aww…Neva!” I screamed in ecstasy, but Lark was quick to shut me up with his lips.“Mmmm…” That was all I could do as he continued to pleasure me beneath.I felt my body get hot beneath him as I held him closer. “Lark…fuck. Don’t do this.”“Say my name again?” he said, gently sucking my earlobes.It’s been six years of peace and unity in the whole kingdom of Lyconia.After the fight with the shadows, we had no more reason to fight one another. As for Grindley and his brother Lucan, I have no idea where they were, or what they are doing. All I knew was that the fight with the wolf shadows was a very difficult one. And I doubt if they ever succeeded in defe
Ava’s POV“What is it?” I charged at Pamela, my hands trembling against the helm of my garment.Penny held me by my left hand, our eyes boring into Pamela’s.“You know you do not have to scare us about things that are scary to us right now.” Penny cut in.Pamela shut her eyes for a second, her other hand holding the rod tight. Soon her eyeballs couldn’t be seen as a whirlwind started to circulate her. “Listen to me, Ava, daughter of Aelle,” she started.Right now, it was clear that Pamela had been taken over by the moon goddess. It was clear now that the Moon goddess indeed was the one who wanted to talk to me through the Priestess.“You have failed in your quest, Ava Goldington.” She lashed, her voice laced with anger.The light around her started to shine brighter, one that I couldn’t comprehend.Penny and I couldn’t help but fall to our knees to acknowledge the moon goddess who has appeared to us through Pamela in her glory.“How did I fail?” I stuttered in fear. “I stopped the sha
Ava’s POVI felt a bit weak as I crashed into Lark’s arms. I panted slowly as I watched my daughters rush towards me.“Are you okay?” Lark, Penny, Lena, Liara, and Xander all chorused.“Yes,” I said, my eyes still fixed on Lena’s hair. “Can you see that?” I asked Lark whose eyes were still on me.Lark heaved a sigh before placing a hand on my head. “Ava, you are burning up. Why didn’t you tell me you are sick?”“Sick? No, I’m not. It’s just a–” I wasn’t done with my speech when I heard Lena’s mind communicating with mine.“Mommy, are you okay?” At first, I thought it was my imagination. Maybe it was another trance. But no. This was real.This wasn’t a trance. Lena has one of my powers now. She could read minds.“Sorry, everyone. We’ll be stopping here today,” Lark replied before asking Xander to take over.“Get the pack’s doctor,” he ordered Penny, who nodded and quickly left without asking many questions. “And you, take care of the kids and the gifts,” Lark commanded the maids, as
Ava’s POVI never expected this to be so soon. I’ve always thought that every wolf will have to be of age before they can start showing their unique characters. But no, my beautiful daughter Lena had displayed her abilities beautifully, and she has taken every gift that the moon goddess has bestowed upon me.Blood started oozing from my ears, as tears continued to flow down my face. Now that death was calling, I never wanted to leave anymore.“Ava,” Lark called my name in what seemed like stutters. His hands shook in fear as he tried to stop the blood. But it was inevitable.My vision, which was blurred with tears, never made me realise that he was already tearing up. “Lark,” I whispered in pain, the veins on my head pulsating, as I raised my hand, which was already filled with blood, to wipe off his tears.“You are stronger than this–”“No,” he cuts in, mucors dripping off his nose. “No, I’m not, Ava Goldington. You are my strength.” He cried out, holding my hands tight, and a con
Lena’s POVI had woken up the the smell of herbs which had stung my nose so badly, causing me to sneeze out.“Finally, you are awake,” “Who are you and where am I?” I asked the young lady whose back was against me.Judging from the way she looked, I can tell she is the pack’s doctor. But this doesn’t bother me at all. I just want to leave this place and go back home. Although I’m aware that my absence won’t be felt, I still have to leave this place.“This is the Mooner’s pack. And the prince had brought you here for treatment,” The young lady replied, packing her tools back into her toolkit.“Mooner’s pack? The Prince?” I repeated, staring at her, confused.“I have to leave now,” She said, motioning towards the door. “My work here is finished.”“But–”“Thank you,” I heard a masculine voice just outside the corridor. Moving backward a bit, I saw him walk in. The handsome young man who had rescued me earlier in the woods.Getting a closer look at him right now, he doesn’t look so bad
Grindley’s POV“You’ve always been doing this, Nora,” I reprimanded before sitting on the throne, gripping its arm so firmly.“You cannot just disown him because he’s not interested in Eva, Grindley.” Nora shot back angrily."It’s high time that he mans up, Nora. You cannot treat a grown-up man like a child,”“And you think forcing him into marriage will make him become an adult? Are you even thinking?” Nora flinched before turning towards the maids.“Leave us, all of you,” I commanded in anger, striking my fist against the arm of my throne.Just as everyone had left, I walked down from my throne, staring at Nora in disgust. “I’m not forcing him into marriage. I’m doing what’s right,” I lashed at her in anger, my eyes filled with rage.It’s been twenty years since Ava had disappeared, and my hopes of ruling the world got shattered. The battle between the werewolves and the shadow wolves was so fierce that even the victory we had at that time was a narrow escape.I never knew Nora wa
Lena’s POVI felt my chest burn, causing me to throw up blood in front of everyone.I collapsed to the ground as the pain of the rejection hit me hard. I felt my body tremble as tears welled down my cheeks.After loving Ashley for many years, it was a painful thing to be met by rejection and humiliation in front of the whole pack.“I think the moon goddess was mistaken to have given Lena to Ashley. He deserves better than her,” I heard one of the pack members whisper.Liana smiled wickedly, as she quickly controlled herself upon seeing me looking at her with tears rolling down my cheeks.Why do I deserve this hatred from my people? Why do they hate me so much?Henza rushed towards me, holding me against her chest as I watched Ashley walk towards my sister Liana.I could read her expression. This is what she has always desired.It was now I knew that Ashley had only played a game between the two of us to see the one will get her wolf amongst us.Right now, I feel betrayed, humiliated,
Lena’s POVAs I stepped into the spot light, I shone brighter in the middle of the ballroom, my jewelry complemented the sparkles as I walked elegantly towards my father.“Princess Lena is here,” the guards announced.I was sure I had stolen the spotlight as I watched jealousy play on Liana’s face. “She’s so beautiful,” I could hear whispers from the pack members. Not only was I beautiful, but I was breathtaking that every eligible Alpha of the neighboring packs couldn’t help but drool over me.Even my father's jaw dropped upon seeing me tonight. “She looks a lot like Ava now,” Xander his beta said with a smile on his face.Unlike Aunt Penny, who looks at me with some sort of hateful eyes, Xander, her husband and mate was caring and nice towards me. The only thing was that after the death of my mother, I was told he was the only confidante my father had in the pack.“Shall we start?” My father said, clearing his throat before relaxing back into his throne.Henza’s gaze settled on m
Lena’s POVIt’s been twenty years since my mother died. The story of how she was loved by my father and how my birth had caused him to lose her spread around the pack like wildfire.My sister Liana was the most loved amongst us. Even by my dad and even Aunt Penny.Not just that, Aunt Penny’s son, Ashley, is also in love with Liana, while I was treated like an outcast for something I know nothing about.My name is Lena, and this is my story.“She looks a lot like Ava. I think you should bring her close now. You cannot hate her forever,” I overheard Xander, his beta, persuading him.Unlike Liana, who was given anything she wanted, I was made to stay in the palace and train myself.Liana didn’t even help matters. She has always been treating me like a rival rather than her sister. Sometimes I wonder if she truly was my sister or someone else.I love Liana so much, but the reverse was the case for me.I’m not training myself just because I want to, but I’m doing that to impress my father
