Ava's heart pounded as she stepped into the conference room, coming face to face with the man she had hidden from for the past seven years. She watched as he looked up at her, his glare softening, his eyes full of unreadable emotions.
"Welcome, Miss Daisy," Alex said, offering her a handshake. She took it, her hand trembling slightly."It's a pleasure to meet you," she said, forcing a smile onto her face. Alex gestured around the table."This is Mr. Luciano, the CEO of the company," Alex said, introducing Luciano to Ava. "And this is the board of directors."Ava nodded, taking in the faces around the table. She recognized some of them from her research on the company, and they all seemed friendly enough."It's a pleasure to meet all of you," Ava said again.Alex gestured for them to take a seat at the table.Alex cleared his throat and started speaking. "Miss Daisy has a lot of experience in the fashion industry, and she will be a valuable asset to our team. She has an eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful designs. I'm excited to see what she can bring to the table." Luciano's gaze lingered on Ava, his expression impossible to read. Ava shifted nervously, coughing to break the eye contact. Derek patted her on the back, causing Luciano's fist to clench.Derek smirked, breaking the tension. "Shall we get started?" he asked, looking at Ava expectantly.Alex nodded. "Go ahead, Miss Daisy. The board is all yours."Ava took a deep breath to steady her nerves, and began to speak. She outlined her proposal, discussing the benefits it could bring to the company. She could feel Luciano's gaze burning into her, his eyes following her every movement.The presentation went on for what seemed like an eternity, but finally it was over."That was excellent, Miss Addams," one of the board members said, breaking the silence. The others nodded in agreement, and a few even clapped."You may all leave now," Luciano said, his voice low and harsh. The other board members filed out of the room, without a word. They knew better than to defile his order.Ava felt a shiver of fear as her eyes met Luciano's. She began gathering her things, wanting to get out of the room as quickly as possible."Alex, wait for me in my office," Luciano said, his eyes still fixed on Ava.She hurriedly packed her things, her hands shaking. When she looked up, Luciano was right in front of her. She gasped, having no idea how he had moved so quickly."Mr. Luciano," Derek started to say, but Luciano cut him off.He pulled out a gun out of nowhere, aiming it at Derek's head. Ava gasped, her heart racing."Tell him to leave," Luciano ordered, his voice icy cold."Derek, please go," Ava said, her voice shaking.“But dais…..”"For my sake." She cut him off, forcing a smile, hoping it would hide her fear.Luciano's fist clenched as he watched Ava beg another man.Derek glared at Luciano, his expression full of anger and contempt. He turned and left the room, the door slamming behind him.Luciano lowered his gun, his eyes never leaving Ava's. A range of emotions played across his face, from anger to sadness to relief."Ava!" he called, his voice trembling with emotion. His wolf was howling inside him, its joy at the sight of their mate almost overwhelming.Ava’s mouth went dry and her words caught in her throat. She struggled to find her voice.“Lu-Lu… Lucian!”. She manage to choke out.She stared at him with her heart pounding in her chest. He still looked the same as he always had. He was even more handsome then she remembered. Tall and broad-shouldered, with a frame that was both muscular and lithe. His dark hair was shiny and neatly coiffed, and his green-black eyes were mesmerising. From a distance, they looked almost black, but up close they were flecked with tiny gold flecks that seemed to shimmer in the light. They were beautiful. His eyes were the first thing she fell for.Lucian stepped closer, placing a hand on her waist and pulling her close. She could feel his breath on her face, his lips only inches from hers.The heat of his body radiated against hers, and his breath was warm on her face. His lips were so close to hers that she could feel the soft brush of his breath against her mouth. Her heart was pounding in her chest.“Mr Lucian!”. She called, her hands pressing against his chest, trying to push him back a little.“Ava!”. He called in a low but warning voice. There was something in his voice that made her shiver, a note of authority that made her knees weak. She found herself unable to look away from his eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.She bit her bottom lip nervously, not even realising what she was doing.Lucian’s eyes immediately flashed with desire and want.“Lucian please let me go!”. She plead.“Why? Why should I let you go?”.“So you can leave me again? Like you did seven years ago? Or is it because your new man is waiting outside for you?”.Ava stared at him in shock.“Answer me Ava!”. He yelled, tighten his grip on her.A painful whispered escape her lips.“Lucian you’re hurting me!”. She cried.“I’m hurting you? Do you have any idea how I almost lost my mind when I couldn’t find you beside me? Do you know how much pain I went through? Do you know how much I have missed you, long for you? Only to find out you’re safe and healthy but in someone else’s arm, reeking of his scent!!” His voice low and dangerous.“Did you ever loved me Ava?”. His voice was low but filled with pain.Ava's eyes flashed with anger, her jaw clenched tight.How could he question her love for him!!Before she could speak, another voice cut through them.“GET. YOUR. HANDS. OFF. MY MOTHER.”"Get your hands off my mother!" a voice growled from behind them.Luciano froze, a shiver running down his spine at the sound of the voice. The voice was low and raspy, like it belonged to a wild animal. He turned around slowly, letting go of Ava as his eyes locked onto the small figure that stood in front of him."Mother?" he repeated, his voice hoarse. He looked from the boy to Ava. "Nathan!" Ava called, rushing forward to embrace her son. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Nathan?" Luciano called again, his voice a little louder this time.Ava's heart skipped a beat, and she placed a hand on her son's shoulder, pulling him protectively behind her. She stood in front of him, facing Lucian."Mr. Luciano," Ava said, her voice shaking but firm. "I would like to leave now." She said, her eyes fixed on Luciano.Luciano's gaze flickered between Ava and the boy, his expression unreadable.Finally, he nodded slowly. "Very well," he said, his voice cool and detache
CHAPTER FIVE“Nathan!”. Ava called out to her son. “Nathan! This isn’t the time to play hide and seek. Come out now!”. She yelled. “Nathan!”. She started panicking. When she noticed he wasn’t in the house. With trembling hands she picked up her phone.“Derek, I can't find Nathan!”. She cried into the phone .“Calm down daisy! I’m sure he’s somewhere in the house!”. He assured her. “He’s not here, I have looked around, he's not in his room!”. She cried. “Lucian!!!” She suddenly whispered. “Could he have gone to Lucian’s office?”. She asked, scaredly.“No daisy, Nathan won’t do that he barely even knows Luciano!”.“No Derek, I know Nathan once he gets curious about something he won’t rest until he gets to the button of it. Do something please. I don’t want my son meeting Lucian.” Ava cried out. “Daisy calm down, just breath I will be there in few minutes. Ok?”. Derek asked.“Ok!”. She whispered back before hanging up. She quickly grab her bag and was about to walk out of the doo
☠️LUCIAN ☠️The splash of blood hit my face and my white shirts, which are now covered in blood. I smashed the hammer on his head one more time just to make sure he’s not breathing again. As I smiled, I placed the hammer down and picked up my favourite knife. I trailed the tip of the blade along the man's finger, enjoying the way he trembled in terror."You still won't talk?" I asked, my voice filled with mock concern.It had been too long since I'd had such an exhilarating experience. When I say exhilarating, I mean murderous. In a flash, I sliced through his finger. The sight of his anguished scream was music to my ears."There are two scents I love more than anything else in this world," I said, my voice soft and seductive. "One is the scent of my little rose, and the other is the scent of blood."I brought the knife close to my nose, inhaling deeply. The metallic scent filled my nostrils, sending a thrill of pleasure through me.Opening my eyes, I looked at the man and repeated
🌹 AVA 🌹“You deserve to be punished for lying to me Ava!.” He smirk. My body shivered in pleasure at his tone, dark and sexy. I could feel my pussy clenching together, begging to be touched. My whole body was heating up like fire. Gosh! How can his words alone have this much effect on me!!I wanted to speak but he move closer really fast, closing the gap between us as he placed a finger on lips shushing me up. He brushed his finger around my lips, down to my jaw, using his index finger to raise my chin up. I was forced to stare into his gorgeous eyes, fill with lust and hunger. He lower his face down to my lips, really close that I could feel his breath on my lips. I closed my eyes, I heard him chuckled, feeling his hot breath on my neck, he brushed his lips slightly over my neck. A low Moan escape my lips. I could feel him smirk against my neck. Bastard!!. He trail his hands over my button down gown, brushing his thumb on my boobs. I was seriously regretting wearing this gown, he
🥀AVA 🥀"I don't know why he's here!" I exclaimed for the second time, feeling my patience starting to wear thin. Derek kept questioning me as if he were my jealous boyfriend, and I could see the anger in his eyes.He let out a low growl, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. It was a primal sound, like an animal warning its prey. I had always noticed a certain quality that Lucian, Derek, and Nathan shared. They would sometimes make a strange sound - a low, rumbling growl that seemed to come from deep within their throats. It was unlike any sound I'd ever heard a human make, and it was unsettling in its animalistic quality. It was like they had a primal side that they could tap into, and it reminded me of a wolf baring its teeth."Stop that!" I said, looking at him in confusion.“What?”."You know that growling thing you just did?" I asked, mimicking the sound he'd made. "It sounded like a wolf, or something animalistic."He chuckled at my imitation,"Maybe I'm a werewolf!" he said
“Send me the address”. I wiped the tears from my cheeks, my hands trembling“Such a good girl!" He murmured, his voice low and seductive.Wiping away my tears, I quickly slip into a cosy dress. Rushing to snatch my car keys, I promptly received the address from Lucian.Speeding like a maniac, I arrived in front of a grand mansion in no time. I was captivated by the sparkling diamond design as AL was initiated on it. Tears welled up in my eyes. “How can you still have feelings for me even after I shattered your heart, Lucian?" I murmured, tears streaming down my face.I fought back my tears, taking out my phone to dial his number. "I am here" I exclaimed, filled with anger, as I spoke into the phone."Walk in, little rose," he purred, his voice making me shiver with fear.I gazed at the gate as it opened by itself. I was aware that once I crossed that threshold, there would be no turning back.Lucian intentionally made me walk on my own accord."For Nathan," I whispered to myself, M
🌹AVA🌹I was sitting in his bedroom, eagerly waiting for him, while my eyes wandered around the room. Everywhere I looked, there were pictures of us, adorning the walls and the nightstand.I heard the sound of the shower being turned off, and moments later, he emerged from the bathroom. His hair was damp,droplets of water glistening on his face, as he wiped his face with a towel.And then I noticed a snake tattoo, elegantly etched onto his body.He got tattoos? Lucian isn’t a fan of tattoos. The black snake tattoo on his shoulder was truly a work of art. The texture of the snake's skin seemed to leap off his shoulder, giving it a lifelike appearance. The snake's eyes were particularly captivating, as they were jet black and seemed to stare right into your soul. Its gaze was intense and piercing, adding to the overall power and presence of the tattoo.Moving down his arm, another striking tattoo caught my eye. A beautiful rose adorned his skin, with delicate petals and intricate sha
🧚🏻♂️AUTHOR’S POV🧚🏻♂️Lucian sat down in his office, frustrated with the project at hand. There were several projects to be reviewed, accessed and signed. He had put Derek in charge of his company and he couldn’t even handle a single project. Lucian loosened his necktie, attempting to alleviate some of the tension that had built up within him.Despite his reputation as the most feared mafia boss, Lucian was also counted among the world's top billionaires.“ Lucian!" A man's voice broke through the tension as he walked into the office.Lucian raised his head, letting out a sigh."What now, Enzo?" he asked, clearly frustrated.Enzo, an omega, had been adopted by Lucian's parents after losing his own parents in a war. He was always with Lucian in the park, their bond helping him survive. People would hardly believe that Enzo wasn't Lucian's biological brother, as their parents never differentiated between them, despite Lucian being an alpha.“Why is she living with you?" Enzo deman
