After finishing the task of feeding her, he gently untied the towel wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate figure. He handed her a soft shirt and a pair of comfortable shorts to wear. As she took her first steps into the clothing, her movements were slightly clumsy, causing him to let out a warm chuckle. Caught off guard by his amusement, Ava turned to him with a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. Her eyes narrowed as she confronted him, her voice laced with irritation. "You think it's funny?" she snapped.Lucian quickly tried to suppress his laughter, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "No, no." he reassured her.Ava muttered under her breath, her words barely audible. "Beast." Not willing to let her anger linger, Lucian approached her with a mischievous smile, sweeping her off her feet and cradling her in his arms like a bride. "Since I was the one who caused this, it's only fair that I take responsibility." he declared, his voice filled with affection as he carried h
Lucian drove his sleek black car to Ava's workplace, his gaze fixed on her from the corner of his eyes. Her face was radiant with joy, and he couldn't help but smile as he watched her. As he pulled up to the curb, he quickly parked and Ava eagerly jumped out of the car, her heart racing with anticipation.He followed closely behind Ava as she made her way towards the entrance of her company, his hands casually tucked into his pockets.He chuckled softly as he noticed her slight limp.He followed closely behind her, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. She sprinted towards her office, pushing the door open with excitement evident on her face."Nathan!" she whispered, her voice filled with love and longing, as she spread out her arms towards him.Upon hearing his mother's voice, Nathan's face lit up with delight. He quickly abandoned the iPad and rushed towards Ava."Mother!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with love and happiness, wrapping his arms around her in a tight embrace.L
The air was heavy with the scent of cigarettes as she stood frozen, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and disbelief. The dim light from the door reflected on Lucian, who stood there staring at her like a predator.His piercing dark green eyes seemed to penetrate her soul as he exhaled a cloud of smoke."Kayla, take Nathan from her!" His voice echoed in her head. Her eyes widened in terror as she watched Kayla make her way towards her.With trembling hands, she reluctantly handed Nathan over to Kayla, unable to do anything to stop it.How had he found out about her house? How had he managed to get inside?Lucian stood up and began to approach her, her legs trembling as she watched him draw nearer. What was he going to do to her? She was beginning to regret her decision.âYou think you escaped?" Lucain asked, his voice dripping with menace. A dangerous laugh escaped his lips as he circled Ava, his movements predatory and calculated.Ava's heart raced in her chest as she felt Lucain's p
Ava woke up in Lucian's comforting embrace, feeling a throbbing pain in her head."Ouch." she groaned, unintentionally waking Lucian."What's the matter?." Lucian asked, his face filled with concern."My head is pounding.â she replied, wincing and holding her temples.Lucian gently sat her up, reaching for a bottle nearby."Here, drink this." he said, opening the bottle for her.Ava took a sip and grimaced. "What on earth is in this? It tastes awful!".Lucian stared at Ava with worry. Vanessa had warned him about the side effects of erasing her memory, but he couldn't take the chance of her discovering his true identity as a wolf."Just try to relax for a bit.â he whispered, pulling her closer and offering comfort.Not long after, Ava fell asleep, her body curled up against Lucianâs. Lucian watched her for a while, a soft smile playing on his lips, before reluctantly standing up, making sure not to wake. He took one last look at Ava, his eyes filled with a mix of adoration and concern,
âDamn it!" Lucian cursed, quickly putting his gun away as he chased after Ava. He halted and glared at Kayla with anger. âWhy the fuck did you let her inside?" Lucian's voice boomed through the house, filled with anger and frustration.Kayla shivered in fear, trembling slightly.âDon, I swear I tried to stop her but she didnât agree!â. Kayla responded.Lucian's piercing gaze bore into Kayla, his eyes filled with a mix of disappointment and anger. Without uttering another word, he turned on his heels and made his way upstairs. As he reached his room, Lucian hesitated for a moment before slowly pushing the door open. His eyes were immediately drawn to Ava, curled up at the end of the bed, her body trembling with fear.âLittle rose!â. He called, walking towards her. Lucian's heart sank as he watched Ava's trembling form before him. Her delicate frame seemed even smaller as she backed away from him, her eyes wide with terror. The fear emanating from her was palpable, causing a knot t
âWhy do you keep pointing guns at people's heads?" Ava asked as she came downstairs.Lucas reacted dramatically, exclaiming, "Oh my goodness! Who is she, and why is she here?"Lucian looked at Ava in surprise. Wasn't she just scared upstairs?"Hi! I'm Daisy Addams!" Ava introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake.Lucian pulled her back, settling her onto his lap. "Ava Luciano Russo." Lucian corrected, emphasising his possessiveness over her.âSheâs.. sheâs Ava??â. Lucas exclaimed. "She's... she's Ava? Wow, the only woman who can make Lucian go insane! I have been wanting to meet you for a very long time, ma'am!".âI'm Lucas Santiago, Lucian's best friend," Lucas said, extending his hand for a handshake.Lucas's enthusiasm was met with a stern warning from Lucian. Slapping Lucas's hand away, he declared, "You ain't shaking my girl, Lucas!"âItâs just a handshake!â. Lucian's eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with a dangerous edge. "Sure, shake her hand and risk losing an
âAva!" Maya exclaimed, her laughter filling the room. She leaned back in her chair, her body relaxed and open."What's with the numerous guards?." Maya asked, her eyebrows raised in curiosity. She leaned forward slightly.Ava let out a frustrated sigh, her eyes rolling dramatically. She crossed her arms over her chest."Well, if it's not your future brother-in-law Lucian saying I can only see Nathan if they follow me!" Ava exclaimed.Maya burst into laughter, her body shaking with amusement. She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table.âWell serve you right!â. "It's not like I was gonna try to escape! Why is he so doubtful?" Ava said, her voice tinged with frustration. She leaned back in her chair.âProbably because you tried escaping the last time!" Maya replied, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.Ava raised an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing in confusion."Last time? What was the last time? I haven't stepped foot here since Lucian held me captive!." Ava said, using air quo
âDerek!â. Ava called standing up. Kayla stood up immediately with her gun ready in her hands, possessively standing in front of Ava. "Calm down, Kayla," Ava pleaded, her voice filled with urgency. "I know who he is!.""He's not welcome here, ma'am!" Kayla retorted, her voice laced with a mix of anger and protectiveness. Her eyes never left Derek, her finger hovering over the trigger, ready to defend Ava at any cost. "Sir Derek, you have no business here," Kayla warned, her voice firm and commanding. "I'd advise you to leave before the don gets back!.ââIâm here for her!â. Derek said, stepping closer. "One more movement from you, and I won't hesitate to shoot. And you know I don't make empty threats, Derek!!." Kayla declared.âKayla, I know who he is. He's my friend," Ava insisted."But ma'am! I'm just following the orders of the don. He specifically said that only Maya and Nathan are allowed here. And Derek, of all people, is not a friend but an enemy," Kayla explained.Ava looked
