Serving Ava; Alpha's Defiant Obsession

Ava."Ava, the alpha wants to see you. Your husband is waiting." Father announced at the entrance of Marilyn's workshop, refusing to come in.I watched the reflection of his 'always well presented' self through the full mirror. There had always been a tie and a suit all my life, but there was never a smile for me. Even when I am getting sold off to a mysterious alpha. "Darling, come here." Marilyn dropped the lipstick she held and approached him. Seeing her leave, I sighed and reclined on the couch to enjoy my peace away from them_ their efforts to make me leave their lives so quickly and their rudeness. It's likely they've had enough from me all these years and can't bear to put up with me anymore, especially Celia."Ava wouldn't wear the gown. She wants to show up in her rags and filth. We can't have her do that or the suitor will lose interest in her." Marilyn said to father, grabbing his hand in the same way she'd do everytime she desperately needed him to do something and wante

Ava."I'm sorry, Alpha." Father had run over before I could think of how to reply to him and immediately stepped in between him and I, slightly pushing me aside. Interested, I narrowed my eyes and moved back to leave even more space for him. Several times, I'd see dad panic over issues involving Celia but had never cared to raise a finger when it came to me so all those years, I sought to make bad things happen to Celia just for the fun of watching him panic. If Celia fell and bruised her kneecap, she had to go to the local hospital, get admitted to a VIP ward and would not leave until her scar was completely gone. But that wasn't the case when I had caught a serious cold or when Marilyn once thought I would die... or when I had to spend two weeks in the hospital. I was alone and never had his care for once. "Ava is impatient and tends to say silly things at times but she's really sweet. She'll make a good wife, I promise you, Alpha. She's efficient with the laundry and cooks very w

Ava.After the ceremony had ended by evening, Darwin had someone send me to my room and assigned me three maids but I sent them back to rest, insisting I wanted a private time to myself. After making sure to lock the door behind me, I immediately started to take off my dress and heels. I took off the marriage bracelet too and tossed it aside angrily. I stepped into the bathroom walls which were surprisingly demarcated by a drapery that looked almost too transparent. It was beautiful and seductive, yes. But I didn't have the mind to admire how much luxury he had spent to prepare this. I could only read much into why the room was soundproof like Arindam briefed me and why the full-sized mirror was adjacent to the ceiling-to-floor window that faced his bungalow. And why anyone in the room could see what I was doing in the bathroom. I turned on the shower and held the shower handle over me, letting it wet my hair downwards as my tears flowed helplessly, my chest tightening as I shuddered

Ava. I nodded, trying my best not to feel hurt by his words. Or at least, not to show it. He seemed to have forgotten his promise to take me to meet his mom today. And I seemed to have become too weak to give him the tongue lashing I had planned. "I'll leave then." I told him and turned to go, not bothering to bring up the meal I had brought for him. It was probably not my business also. After all, this wasn't a real marriage and no one was responsible for anyone. "Were you the one that brought in the food?" He asked when I reached the door and I stopped. "Yes," I replied, not turning to face him. However, I waited to see if he was going to say something about it but I gave up when it took so long to hear a word from him. "Alright. Wait downstairs for me, I'm going to change." My heart leapt happily when he did not ask me to leave or try to scold me for poking my nose into his daily routine after just one day of being in his life. Even to me, it seemed like I was moving too fast

Ava."Darwin says you're a nice girl." Zenobia, Darwin's mother said, placing a slice of chocolate cake on my plate. She was beautiful and looked, without doubt, too young to have given birth to someone as old as Darwin. She looked like she was still in her twenties with the fairest of skin and most infecting smile ever. Looking at her, being cheerful and forever young, I was starting to think I might've been better as a vampire than a werewolf. "Did he?" I glanced over at Darwin where he sat across the hall, sipping on his wineglass while a gang of youngsters crowded him. He held his usual cold and intimidating look that made it seem like he knew everything that was going on in every other person's head. Well, maybe he knew. I couldn't help but notice how attractive he was, even when doing nothing. Even with that straight face and cold look, he still looked irresistible. "Yes. Usually, he would go for ladies that are several years older than him. When he told me I would like you,
