"Everyone knew she was his." ~ Ava and Lucas have been best friends since Lucas saw Ava at the playground when she was 4 years old. She is innocent and shy where as Lucas is more intimidating to everyone other than Ava. Despite this, they do everything together. Where ever one went, the other followed. Never going more than a day without seeing each other, it's safe to say they were inseparable. Now at 16, Ava is forced to spend a year in public school after being home-schooled all her life. How is Lucas going to react with all the new people she is going to meet, especially being so possessive over Ava. However, even though they are best friends, Lucas is keeping a secret from Ava. A big one. Lucas is a werewolf. And Ava is his mate.

Chapter 1

Prologue Part One

Prologue Part One

LUCAS couldn't be bothered with the rest of the day. It had been horrible, starting off with losing his school backpack so he was late, and then Miss Jill had the nerve to put him in detention! He ended up missing the first half of lunch meaning there was no apple crumble left for him. That was his favourite! And to top it all off, some boy peed their pants in class and it was really hot so it stank up the classroom.

All he wanted to do was go home and eat some of Miss Lillian's homemade cookies but she told him to go and get some fresh air. "You spend too much time in doors Lucas." The maid had said. She had bribed him with cookies to eat for when he returned home so he agreed to go to the park.

The heat was sweltering so the streets were packed with kids. He assumed the park would be too so he took his time with the usually short walk. Maybe Miss Lillian would let him have ice cream when he gets home too.

For human children, it would probably be dangerous to have a six year old play without a guardian around but Lucas was used to being out by himself. He was the Alpha's son so naturally had more strength and was faster than the average six year old infant - human or wolf. His personality was more mature as well. This had nothing to do with being a werewolf but to do with the fact he knew he was expected of much more than the a normal child.

The park was also public and littered with many pack members that would gladly give their lives up for their future Alpha. Not many humans would live here, being so far away from the city, and any that do, have lived here all their lives. They didn't know about the werewolves but many believed in the myths and legends. Anyway, it would be unlikely for any dangerous humans to pass by so it was safe for Lucas. Not that he cared. He believed he could take them.

"Hey Lucas! Come play footy with us!" One of his friends, Ryan, called from the field where a game of football was going on. He had only just walked into the park and suddenly had everyone's attention. It's as if they knew he was there just from the powerful aura he gave off, even as a child.

He cupped his hands around his mouth. "One sec! Just gonna hang here for a bit."

Lucas saw his friend nod in the distance but turned around and walked away before anything more could be said.

Even though Ryan was a friend, his best friend you could say, Lucas was reluctant to spend time with him and his classmates. Surprisingly, he wasn't that sociably and liked to spend time by himself or watching his father train rather than play video games with the rest of the guys. He just didn't like people that much.

He spotted his tree and went to walk towards it. Well, it wasn't really his tree but he'd sit there sometimes and wouldn't really see anyone else near it. Everybody knew the Alpha's son didn't like to share his things. Even if it was a tree.

Passing the people in the park led to pats on the shoulder and many greetings. It was annoying as he just wanted to be left alone. Sure, he was grateful and proud to be the future leader of the pack but it didn't mean he wanted to make small talk about the weather.

When he finally reached the tree at the edge of the park, he sat down and looked at the families doing their own thing. He had nothing better to do. The swings were preoccupied and a line had started to form it was that busy.

Sometimes he wished he had a family that would take the time to take him to the park and someone to push him on the swings as he yelled, "higher!" But because his mother had died when he was a baby due to rogues, his father had never been able to fill the more caring and gentle role. Instead, they bonded over fighting tips and ways to get the pack to work together. A Luna would usually be the one to bring the pack together as a unit, a family, and an Alpha to protect the pack and lead it to battle. His father had to try and fill both roles to keep the pack as the best one in the country. He had learnt all of this since he could comprehend words. Instead of fairytales, his father told him battle strategies.

A whimper brought him out of his thoughts. His head snapped to the sound but couldn't see anyone. It sounded close by but it could've been his sensitive hearing.

He thought he was imagining it until he heard it again more clearly now that he was looking for the sound. "Hello?" He said, not shouting as he didn't want to draw attention and look crazy.

More whimpering and a sniffle. Whoever it was they were definitely upset. Some other day, he would probably just walk away and leave it for someone else to worry about. But, this voice just sounded so innocent and afraid, he couldn't find it in himself to ignore it.

"Hello?!" He said once again, this time louder, whilst walking around the tree. Lucas looked around the park but there were no crying kids as far as he could see so he could only assume they weren't in the playground.

The sniffling was coming from above him so he looked up and was faced with some little legs hanging off the side of a branch. He could see it was a little girl, maybe a few years younger than him. She must be stuck. Hoping that he wouldn't startle her, he started to climb the large tree.

As he got closer, smell of mangos filled his nose. Everybody had a scent and he guessed this was the scent of the little girl. It was lovely and to be honest, he could smell it all day.

She looked so small, dressed in a pale yellow dress and tiny light up shoes. Her chest was lying on the branch with her eyes tightly closed and her tear stained cheeks was pressed on it too. Her arms were wrapped tightly around the branch and her soft blonde hair was hanging on either side. The little body was shaking so much he feared she'd fall off even if the branch looked quite big compared to her.

Lucas perched himself carefully on a branch next to the girl and took a deep breath. "Hi there," he said softly, not wanting her to be frightened at the sudden sound but loud enough to be heard over the frantic screams of children playing. She could've heard him climb up but there was no sign that she knew of his presence. It was clear she was really frightened.

He saw her freeze and her sniffling stopped briefly. Her eyes tentatively opened to reveal a blue colour, making Lucas suck in a breath. He'd never seen eyes as beautiful. This is weird.

Focusing back on his mission, he leaned forward in case she couldn't hear him properly, "are you ok? What are you doing here?"

She just stared at him and didn't say anything. Lucas hoped she wasn't in shock or something. It looked like she had been through something traumatic but then again, loads of little kids are always crying for no reason.

"Do you want to get down?" He tried another question and was given a slight nod in response. He couldn't stop the grin that took over his face when he was finally given a response.

He moved to get in a better position but was stopped by a voice. "No," the little girl whispered, her voice slightly wavering as if she was going to cry again. "Don't leave me."

Lucas' heart clenched as he saw the pleading look in her eyes. She looked completely terrified and thought he was going to leave her there.

"Of course not little one. Just pass me your hand." He gave her a reassuring smile but her eyes started to well up with tears again.

"I can't. I'm going to fall." Her angelic voice sounded so broken as her tiny arms clutched the branch tighter. Lucas feared she'd have some cuts and splinters. He sure did get a few climbing up but they healed instantly. Knowing this little girl was human, he wasn't so sure it would be the same for her.

To be honest, they weren't that high up but to someone as small as her, it probably seemed like a skyscraper. Climbing closer, to the point he was at the branch next to her, he was able to comfortingly stroke her arm, hopefully relaxing her. "It's ok. I'm right here. Just give me your hands ok?" He didn't think his voice could get any softer.

Hesitantly, she unwrapped her arms and sat up, immediately clutching onto Lucas' ready hands. Tingles filled his whole body and he wasn't used to it. It was nothing he had ever felt before. Maybe he was getting sick.

"There you go! Look at you. So brave!" He gave her a wide smile as he praised her, earning a small sheepish one in return.

From there it was easy to pick up this little girl in his arms. She was so tiny! He wondered how she could even reach the branches to climb up. Even he had some difficulty!

Deciding to ignore it for now, he held the girl close to him and she greedily clutched his shirt, pulling herself closer. Poor girl. Her petite body was shaking, whether from fear or from the cold he didn't know. The heat was starting to disappear and the noisy people below them have started to leave.

Little whimpers made him push her head into the crook of his neck with his hand as he said words of praises in her ear whilst gently lowering them to the ground. "You did so good little one. So proud. Almost there. How amazing you are."

"How old are you?" He suddenly asked.

She whispered four in his ear, tickling him with her breath. Four! He would've guessed two or three. So small. So precious. Then he realised he didn't know her name so he asked.

"Ava." It was a nice name. Lucas hadn't heard it before so he thought it was quite special.

"My name is Lucas little one." She didn't respond, just snuggled into his warmth even more.

She wasn't that heavy and Lucas was quite tall for his age so he could easily hold her. Once they reached the ground, he noticed light snores and saw that his Ava was knocked out.

With a kiss on her soft blonde hair, he took his little one home. Despite his day starting out horribly, he couldn't help but think this was the best day of his life for some reason. Lucas knew it had something to do with the angel sleeping in his arms. He knew that he'd protect her forever. She was stuck with him now.

His Ava.

Prologue Part Two
Prologue Part TwoPEOPLE were definitely shocked when Lucas walked through the doors with Ava in his arms, who left a small patch of drool on his top as she slept soundly. Miss Lillian, on the other hand, was not so relaxed - immediately telling one of the pack members to get the Alpha."Who is this, Lucas?" She said once he placed Ava gently on the coach, as if she were made of the finest China. Many had offered to help carry the girl but Lucas simply ignored them and pushed their arms out of the way. His mission was putting her on the comfortable coach and covering her with the softest blanket he could find as she slept in peace."Ava."He sat next to her on and ran his fingers through her hair. Lucas found he liked doing that. It was just so soft."Poor thing looks like she's been in battle!" One of the pack members had said not so quietly, making Lucas growl. He didn't want people to wake her up and he also didn't appreciate the insult given to his little Ava.People gasped but Lu

Chapter One
Chapter OneHEAVY arms weighed Ava down as she woke up with the urge to pee. After struggling to escape, she turned to look at the person responsible.Lucas was always a deep sleeper so even after Ava poked him on the arm and cheek several times, there was no response. She squirmed and tried to pry his arm off from stomach. They were lying on a small single bed so they were pretty close together. It wasn't that comfortable thus Ava always preferred Lucas' bed. He was on his front while Ava was on her back, staring at the ceiling, trying to hold in her pee.He groaned. Finally a reaction! But then, pulled her closer so he was practically on top of her and his head was nuzzling her neck. "Lu Lu!" She whined, shaking his body, "I have to pee."Reluctantly, Lucas released her from his hold, letting Ava jump out of bed and run into the bathroom. He always does like cuddling so Ava had to deal with this nearly every morning. They were best friends so being so affectionate wasn't weird for t

Chapter Two
Chapter TwoTHE trees became a blur as his black paws hit the Earth while he ran. Dodging branches easily, with the wind rushing past his fur and the rising Sun illuminating his path, this was definitely Lucas' favourite thing to do.Besides hanging out with Ava.Ava. His beautiful mate. He remembered how scared she looked yesterday when they received the news she'd be going to school with him. He spent the rest of the day consoling her, telling her it would be alright. Even if he believed otherwise.Lucas would usually do whatever he can to spend more time with Ava. He just can't seem to get enough of his little mate. However, this would be different. This wouldn't be just Ava and Lucas. There'd be a whole school. A whole school that could possibly be a threat to Ava's safety. A whole school to stare at his mate. They weren't worthy enough but then again, he didn't think he was either. Though, it didn't matter because Ava was his mate. He felt himself growl as he imagined how many ho

Chapter Three (Part 1)
AVA could feel many eyes staring at her and Lucas. She couldn't understand the fascination. It didn't go past her that him and his friends could be popular. They were all very good looking, especially Lucas as she always thought he was very handsome. His messy dark brown hair, mysterious grey eyes and lightly tanned skin were all a reason for girls to swoon. Being the outdoorsy type, all of them had perfect bodies that, she assumed, had all the girls drooling.Ok maybe she did understand the fascination. The arm around her waist held her still as they waited for the admissions lady to give Ava her timetable. She was jittery with nerves and wanted to hurry up and explore the new place. As the mid-twenty year old shuffled around the messy desk for papers, Ava turned her head to look around the room with curiosity evident on her face. She had never seen a somewhere so busy. Even the parks weren't close to as filled as the hallways she passed. The walls were painted in boring colours bu

Chapter Three (Part 2)
The lesson wasn't as boring as she thought it would be so her opinion about public school was starting to get better. Lucas had kept his arm on her seat, occasionally massaging the back of her neck with his hand. He did this until Ava made it stop because it was tickling her.She unfortunately, didn't have Lucas in her next lesson but was really excited because it was Chemistry - her favourite. He walked her all the way to her lesson, even though his was in a different building."Hurry! You'll be late." Ava was unsuccessfully trying to push him away."Yeah yeah. Remember that if anyone does or says anything that isn't nice, you remember what they look like, their name or even better, take a sneaky picture. And I'll have... a word with them."Both her hands were planted on his muscular chest as she pushed with all her might. He held onto her wrists to prevent her from hurting herself. "Answer me." He demanded when she didn't respond.Ava rolled her eyes. "Fine." She drawled. "Now go!"

Chapter Four (Part 1)
THE glare that Lucas held on his face was enough for the students around them to run in the opposite direction. Everyone made way for him and his Ava as they saw it and for the first time, they didn't stare but avoided eye contact, not wanting to be on the receiving end.Luckily for them, all his attention was on the the idiot making his mate laugh. An idiot was one of the nicer words he thought about him. Jackson Daniels. He was the captain of the football team two years ago before Ryan convinced Lucas to join. The coach then made him captain and Jackson gained a personal vendetta against him. He was also human so Lucas had no power over him.Jackson was known to have the stereotypical attitude of a jock. He thought he ruled the school. He thought that everyone worshiped him. But, he knew it was Lucas who had all of that.The thing that Lucas hated most about him was the fact that he didn't respect girls and treated them like garbage. Having found his mate at a young age, he learnt h

Chapter Four (Part 2)
Ava opened her mouth to complain but Lucas said, "just eat your food baby. Before it gets cold."She nodded and continued to eat with a smile on her face. Lucas knew she liked to sit on his lap, said it was comfy. Probably didn't like it as much in front of most of the school though.Jackson was looking at Lucas with a glare on his face but he didn't really look that jealous. Lucas sent him a smirk nonetheless and cuddled closer to Ava.The jock cleared his throat awkwardly, to get Ava's attention probably. They all looked at him however, and waited for what he had to say. "So Ava, want to come to my house and work on the Chemistry project tomorrow?"Lucas immediately stiffened. He couldn't imagine what Jackson would do to Ava if they were at his house. Alone. Actually he could. He didn't want to though. "What?" He said through gritted teeth."We're partners for Chemistry." She said hesitantly, noticing how Lucas' had tensed. She grabbed his hand and started to massage it, fiddling wi

Chapter Five (Part 1)
LUCAS was still in a bad mood throughout the rest of school. Avacould sense something was the matter but she didn't want to push him to tellher if he didn't want to.But, like he promised, he took Ava to the best ice cream parlour in townand she couldn't be more excited. It was a cute little one that had all sortsof different unusual flavours with many different colours. The walls werecovered in pastel colours and the seats were comfy sofas.She knew that Lucas didn't like to go because it was too childish orgirly. Apparently it wasn't manly to sit in a store surrounded by parentswatching their kids do the special colouring papers but whenever she gives himthe puppy dog eyes, he always gives in."I don't know why you like this place so much." Lucas complainedfor the fiftieth time since school ended."Because." She drawled, rolling her eyes at him."It's just so...""Yummy." Ava sighed with a dreamy expression, as she thoughtabout which flavour she'd get this time.This time

Lucas interrupted, "it's alright. She went to Ava straight away so itwas lucky she was good hands.""I can't thank you enough. Both of you." She emphasised,appreciation lacing her words."Just keep an eye on her next time." He warned.The lady nodded and walked out with the little girl waving at Lucas andAva. Ava licked her ice cream happily and waved at the girl, pleased she foundher mother.After that, the pair said their own goodbyes to Joe and set off to thepark. Ava loved going to the tree because even though she lost her mother andfather there, she gained Lucas and she was quite alright with that.Spending a while sat against the large tree and eating their ice cream,Ava started to get tired so she asked to go home. Lucas readily agreed, knowingthat home meant his house. Ava didn't call the children's home her home becauseas cringey as it may sound, home is where the heart is and her heart is alwayswith Lucas."Go put a movie on baby. I'll get the pizza."
