Ava's POV

"Mom!”

My jaw dropped as I looked between two of them. The boy couldn't be any more than four or five years old. He had Valerie's eyes, other than that, there were no other similarities between them.

She carried him into her arms gently before finally meeting my eyes. “This is my son, Damien. You can call him Day." She told me and I nodded, unable to take my eyes off the boy who was going on and on about what happened with his friends.

“Mom, is this your friend?" He asked i

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    Dinner Table Secrets

    Ava's POV By the time Dominic and I came downstairs, I had managed to calm myself a little. The conversation we had upstairs still sat heavily in my chest, but Dominic had somehow eased some of the anxiety that had been eating at me. I kept replaying his words in my mind. You don't owe anyone explanations. I'll handle it. For some reason, hearing him say those things had made me feel safer. I wasn't carrying the burden alone anymore. As we walked side by side toward the dining room, Dominic's fingers brushed against mine before eventually intertwining with them naturally, and I looked up briefly to find him giving me a small smile. It was almost like he could sense the thoughts running through my head.The dining room was already prepared by the time we entered. The scent of food immediately filled the air, and Elena was already seated at the table with a glass of water resting beside her plate. But my attention shifted almost instantly toward the other person sitting there.Viola.

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    Still Chosen

    Ava's POVThe moment we stepped into the bedroom, I kicked the door shut behind us while Dominic loosened the buttons on the sleeves of his shirt. The exhaustion from the day was visible on his face despite the small smile he kept wearing around me. I had noticed it downstairs too. There was a heaviness in his eyes, like work had drained him more than he wanted to admit. Yet somehow, the second he looked at me, that tiredness always seemed to lessen. I walked toward him slowly while he stood near the bed, and his eyes followed me with that familiar gaze that always made my heart skip. It still amazed me sometimes, the way Dominic looked at me as though I was the only person in the room.I reached for the buttons of his shirt without saying anything, and a small smile spread across his lips. "Taking care of me now?" he asked, amusement slipping into his voice.I rolled my eyes playfully while undoing another button. "You look tired, Dominic.""Hm." He lowered his head slightly so he

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    His Wrath, Her Doubt

    Dominic’s POV After the call ended with Ava, I couldn't help but feel her insecurities from over here. She still doesn’t see herself as someone that I could crown as my Luna. I hated knowing she still doubted herself when it came to us. She saw a throne beside me and thought she wasn't worthy enough to sit there, but all I saw when I looked at her was my future. I didn't care about status, bloodlines, or what anyone else thought. Ava had already become home to me long before either of us realized it.I needed to show her she was far more than being an omega wolf. But before that, I had to wrap up with what I have going on here. The Alpha of silver Crest pack was abducted by my men and brought to one of the many properties I owned. I walked back to the spot where he was tied on a chair, alongside the men he had ordered to abduct Ava. I didn't expect to get all of them that easily, even with Alpha Cade’s escorts, none of them could protect him from my men.“So, are you ready to tell

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    Threats And Promises

    Ava's POV “Do we have a deal, little wolf?” Viola asked, her voice low and menacing.I wasn't going to let Viola's bargain, or rather, threats scare me. I guessed my mindset was already structured to want her to like me. I should have listened to Valerie in the first place. You really can't force anyone to like you. Whether they want to let you into their lives or not, it was really up to them.I was stupid when I tried to get on her good side. But I failed at that, and I don't think I cared about getting her to like me anymore.“Finally,” Rhea chimed in excitedly, “The Chihuahua princess can go to hell for all we care.” she added.“There’ll be no deal, Viola.” I said. Viola pulled back and I caught the shocked look on her face for only a minute before it shifted into a menacing smirk.“Fine, I guess I'll just go tell my mother what I heard.” she said, already walking away. She probably thought I'd stop her and beg.I shrugged, “Okay, do that,” I said, brushing away a loose strand of

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    Blackmail and Bonds

    Ava's POV After Dominic left for the office, I had no other option but to leave the room and the depressing silence that came with it. I guess it was just going to be another day of gisting and being around Valerie and Isla in the nursery. They both had a way of keeping my mouth less busy, and I didn't want it any other way. They were fun to be with. If it wasn't Dominic keeping me company around here, it would be them.Breakfast was served, only I and Elena ate together, while Viola avoided the idea of being around me as always. “Are you feeling better now?” Elena asked just as we began eating. I nodded, “I feel better.” I replied.She nodded, eating her meal with that same poise and elegance that she must have grown up practicing. “That's good to hear,” “When did you and Dominic realize you were mates?” Elena suddenly asked. “He's refused to tell me anything whenever I ask,” she added, chewing her food slowly.I paused, the spoonful of macaroni and cheese in mid air. The quest

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    Morning After The Storm

    Dominic's POV Sunlight spilled through the curtains, pulling me out of sleep.Last night with Ava had taken its toll on me, but I wouldn’t trade a second of it. She lay curled against my chest, her breathing soft and steady, rising in rhythm with mine. I brushed a loose strand of hair from her face, tucking it gently behind her ear.She looked too peaceful to be disturbed. For a moment, I just watched her, letting myself stay still a little longer before reality called me back.Then she shifted, looking up at me with sleepy eyes. “You're watching me sleep again,” she said, her voice hoarse and a bit offended.“Was I?” She gave me a dead stare, taking her weight off my body as she went over to sleep on the other side of the bed.“I just woke up too,” I lied only to get a reaction from her. “Whatever,” she replied, closing her eyes, as she slept in the position of a dead person.I moved towards her, closing the space between us as my face lingered above her, “You look more adorable w

    Dominic's POV "I want to shower.” I paused, turning to look at her. She was going to be the death of me and there was no denying it. And without saying anything, I went to the bathroom to run a bath for her and once I was done, I came back to the room where Ava was standing in the middle of

    Ava's POV I didn't know how right Rhea was until I woke up the next morning and I was alone in bed…which wasn't a new thing since I understood how busy Dominic was, especially with the new project he was handling while still running the Pack. But for whatever reason, it felt different this

  • Rejected and Regretted: The Alpha King Wants Me    The Missing Spark

    Ava's POV My hand formed a fist as I lifted my head to look at her but she was already looking at me, a smirk playing on the corner of her lips which I probably imagined if no one else noticed it. The others also pretended to be fully interested in whatever was on their plate. Dominic shot

    Ava's POV I was in a much better mood when I woke up the next morning. Maybe it was the fact that I had a good dream but whatever it was, I was grateful to it as I pushed myself up from the bed to go take a shower. And when I was done, I settled for a bodycon gown which hugged my curves before m
