LOGINAva's POV The moment we arrived at the opera house, I was fascinated by what I was seeing. The building stood like a masterpiece against the bright sky, glowing beneath warm golden lights that traced every elegant curve and towering pillar. Huge glass windows reflected the city around us, while a long crimson carpet stretched from the entrance down the marble steps.People moved in and out dressed in stunning outfits, their laughter and conversations blending with the distant sound of violins drifting from inside. Luxury cars lined the curb one after another, attendants opening doors with practiced ease.I slowly stepped out of the car, my eyes lifting toward the massive chandelier visible through the glass entrance. It sparkled like a thousand tiny stars suspended in the air.“Wow,” Isla breathed out before she could even stop herself. And I stood beside her, smiling knowingly, whereas I was as surprised as she was. Suddenly Viola sighed beside me, before walking forward, then sh
Chapter 64Dominic’s POVDuring the drive, a feeling of unease tugged at my mind. For some reason, Ava’s outing with Viola didn't sit right with me anymore after giving it more thought. “Do you think Ava and Viola would hang out without any issues?” I asked no one in particular, expecting either Orion or Sebastian to give me an answer. Orion was sitting behind the steering wheel, while Sebastian sat by his side.Orion glanced at me through the rearview mirror, a slight smile tugging at his lips, before he looked back to the road.Sebastian shrugged, “They might.” he replied.“Are you scared that they wouldn't?” Orion questioned the obvious.“I'm more worried about Ava.” I said, “Viola can be mean sometimes, and I can tell she hasn't learnt to like Ava yet.”Sebastian tilted his head to my side, “Maybe that's going to change today.”I shook my head, “I doubt that. Viola is difficult to please.” “Why did you let Ava pull through with it if you know it's not going to go well?”“I never
Ava's POV Breakfast was served.I had convinced Dominic to eat something before going out for work, he didn't want to at first because he was running late. Sebastian on the other hand, who was going with him had no other choice but to have breakfast too.And seated across from me are Viola and Elena. Elena, as usual, already enjoyed being around me, and she couldn't help but tease me in front of everyone about shopping for clothes like I was on a certain budget.When she puts it that way, I feel like a puppet amidst them. But I'd blame my reaction on the fact that I didn't have that kind of privilege in Red veil pack.Still, I laughed about it. We all did, except for Viola, who kept a straight face while eating, she was probably upset because Dominic had forced her to come have breakfast with us. She being here was going to help me achieve my plans faster and easier.The plan to get Viola to like me. Valerie has suggested that I find what Viola is interested in and surprise her with
Ava's POV Elena and Viola were planning to stay in the pack for a long time, and I figured that just as two maids passed by me, struggling to carry some luggages. Viola stood in the middle of the hallway, giving out instructions to them on handling the bags carefully, like it could break into pieces if mishandled.Then our eyes suddenly met. A smile spread across my face, but before I could greet her a good morning, she rolled her eyes, turned and walked into her bedroom.And just as she left, I was reminded of the reason for waking up early. For some reason I was clueless about, Dominic didn't sleep beside me last night. Could he have been occupied with work all night? Or was he back to sleeping in his bedroom?I heard Rhea yawn in my head, “Quit the questions and go check him out in both rooms.” She advised, her voice low and still exhausted from sleep.I listened to her, going to check his bedroom first. But the room was empty and tidy like no one has been there in years.I closed
Lucien's POV Dinner was supposed to be a moment where I could enjoy my meal, and maybe share a light conversation with Selen like we used to do before, but neither of that was happening. Pack issues and finding Ava seemed to tug at my mind and it made me feel uneasy.I wasn't expecting that my warriors had found any valuable information about Ava's whereabouts. I wondered why she was so difficult to find. And then meeting Alpha Dominic seemed to be like the most difficult thing in the world.Who does he even think he is? I bet he was feeling so important knowing how much I want to meet with him. I couldn't help but think that his act of ignoring my request was intentional.But why?As far as I know, my pack has a good reputation, not entirely perfect, but other Alphas were willing to invest in me. Why was the Alpha king so fucking different?“Are you fighting with your steak?” Selen suddenly spoke after the long hours of silence between us.I looked down at my plate and I saw the res
Ava's POV The day went by so fast, I had decided to take a nap, leaving Dominic to work. Shopping with Dominic's mother turned out to be fun, but it also stressed me out a bit. And for some reason, as I got deep into the sleep, memories at Redveil pack began to flood into my mind.Everything that has traumatized me back there, Lucien's brutal behavior towards me, my parents and stepsister's hatred, it all played like a loop in my head. It made my brain active again, leaving me awake and distorted.It was as though meeting Vera today triggered it. I rose up from bed, deciding to go to the nursery instead of letting the silence around give me more reasons to think about the past. It was the last thing I wanted to do.On my way to the nursery, I passed by Viola's room and I didn't mean to pry, but her voice was loud and I could hear that she was talking to someone on a phone call.I stopped by her doorway, just standing there and then her words flew to my ears, “I just think she's not w
Ava's POV When I opened my eyes, the room was dark. For a second, I didn't move as I listened to the soft hum of the night outside the windows. I was going to nap for only a few minutes before dinner after spending about an hour watching shirtless men train…Zayden’s idea. Then I sensed it
Ava's POV It's been more than two weeks, but Dominic's words were stuck in my head and I doubt it was leaving anytime soon. “I promise you, little wolf, you're it for me and nothing, not even the moon goddess herself can take you away from me.” Just thinking about it was making my face heat
Ava's POV The door shut behind me and I finally let the breath out of my chest. “Stupid Alpha. Stupid heart.”My hand pressed against my chest like I could physically calm it down, like I could force it to forget the way he looked at me and held me. I mean, I didn't really care about Elene…E
Ava's POV “I'm a crazy woman, who needs urgent help!" I groaned, covering my face with my hand. “Who the hell gets jealous over their mates sister…step sister but who cares?" Rhea chuckled, “I wonder how it still surprises you that you're a crazy woman." She said. The girls waited for me t
