AVA

"Worst" doesn't even begin to describe today. Following Amina's digression, I decided to play with power.

I couldn't find the culprit, so I tried a different approach. If whoever was fueling this wanted to stay hidden, then I was going to flush them out.

I drafted a statement and published it that same morning to set the record straight once and for all. It was something measured and direct, enough to make the right person feel the ground shift beneath them and either go quiet or make a mov

    KAELMy instincts led me faster than sight, the workers and maids parting as I paced through the hallways, staring at me like I was someone out of place.Just when I rounded a corner, I found Amina frozen in place. She had just stepped out of the very door my wolf was violently pulling me toward. I did not wait. I moved directly toward her."Open the door," I ordered."It's nothing, Mr. Kael. Ava is fine. She's just… resting," Amina lied. It was a weak attempt, considering how tightly her hand gripped the doorknob."Move," I ordered a second time. Amina bowed her head weakly and did as instructed.I stepped inside, my eyes immediately catching the empty bed before my gaze shifted to Ava. She was glued to the wall, trying to trace her way toward the exit."Ava, stop," I warned.My wolf surged forward at the sight of her. She was drenched in sweat, her eyes unfocused, her body trembling violently with the sheer effort of staying upright. Before she could collapse, she fell straight into

    KAELUnlike the elders seated high in the council room, I looked at the seating arrangement on my phone with particular disinterest. If anything, the meeting was a nuisance, a vice meant to almost distract me from what I really wanted.Fortunately, I had gotten into a bittersweet position to do both.I walked into the Hale estate, my expression neutral as my hands remained rigid at my sides. The escort beside me was not the typical one that would just see me off to the house. Instead of Victor, it was a cold calculated step by Alpha Grayson, maybe the council as well, maybe even both.But I did not feel the weight of any of it. As far as I was concerned, my primary reason for being there was not at the table set up for disaster.Inside the room, the setup was quite interesting. The hall was spacious, designed for high level political negotiations.At the far end, a long oak table dominated the space, polished to a mirror shine. The elders occupied a raised platform at the center, thei

    AVA"The truth is, Ava, I don't know all the details. But what escalated the situation was when you went where you weren't invited. That is what caused this meeting to be this tense in the first place." Mother explained.I laughed endlessly in disbelief."I do the wrong thing and it is right. I did the right thing and now it is wrong. Double standards!” I faulted."Ava dear, I understand why it looks that way," Mother said, her hand tracing my face again."It is that way,” I corrected."You have to understand that factors are indeed changing. Especially with Kael in the mix now, things have become more difficult. I actually don’t know where this is heading to," Mother said, the worrying in her gaze evident."Okay," I said, my eyes darting over to the table seeing my phone there. I nodded."Stay here, Ava. The doctor has been around since" Mother started.Then it occurred to me. I looked around my surroundings again and then it called to me that I was not in my room. That was why I fel

    AVAAmina looked to measure again. Her eyes drifted towards the door but this time I did not need to put pressure before she was willing to speak to me."Alpha Grayson has been on one phone call till the next. After the dinner went sideways and Kael's ignoring most of his questions, he has been putting his foot on the gas to get a proper vision of who Kael is," Amina said.My eyes lit up at that."He has come up empty each time," Amina said. Or rather, she added, drawing my curiosity back, "he is not getting what he wants to know who Kael is."I did not know if I should find that even more impressive or even more crazy."Also," Amina continued, "things have..." she paused, looking to choose her next word very carefully. "Escalated," she finally said."How do you mean?" I asked, setting the glass of water down in my hand on the nightstand."There is going to be a meeting," Amina said."A meeting? Whose meeting?" I asked."The elders, Alpha Grayson, and Kael," Amina said.My eyes widene

    AVAI woke up feeling like I had been sleeping right on top of an earthquake. My vision was blurry as I struggled to make out the figure seating beside me."Ava."I thought I heard Kael's voice reach me, comforting like a warm blanket I didn’t know I needed. I managed a whisper, but the air just left my throat in a soundless breath."Ava, can you hear me?"The voice came again, but as I blinked, the haze finally cleared. It wasn't Kael. It was Amina, tipping my chin up to look into my eyes.She looked relieved. I lifted my hand, wondering why my body felt so heavy and uncoordinated. Amina gently took my hand and drew me forward into a tight embrace."Amina," I muttered, her sudden affection confusing me. I looked around the room, hoping to find a clue as to what was going on. "What happened?""It is because of what happened at the dinner," Amina said softly."Huh?" I asked, still confused.She pulled back slightly, holding me at eye level."It has been an entire day since the dinner,

    KAELMy arrival to the Hale estate was anticipated. The escorts stood ready to move but this time a hand gesture halted them in place. I stared at my phone again at Ava's text about how I should take this dinner seriously as if it were a test. One I was not bothered by. But Ava was overthinking, acting like I didn’t know power plays when they were masked in dinners and casual meetings. It was always a test.At the door I was allowed inside by Amina with a bow. She escorted me to the dining room where I met the family sitting around a well filled table with varieties spread across it."Mr. Kael, welcome," Grayson said."The pleasure is all mine, Alpha Grayson," I said, taking my seat right beside Ava.The dinner started in silence. Plates were filled. Forks moved. No one spoke.My eyes shifted to Ava's concerned ones and traced them back to Grayson, who seemed to be eating more meat. I swirled the ice in my glass, my eyes on the contents, staring at their gazes through the reflectio

    AVAKael didn’t handle my outburst right there in the open.He took my hand, pulling me along as we walked toward what looked like an exit. But the moment we crossed the heavy doors, I noticed we were in a secluded employee hallway.Kael directed my attention straight back to him. His hands moved t

    AVAI never expected to transition from the heated stares at the political meeting directly to a date.It was funny how that was the very first thing I had canceled out from my mind when that invitation was given to me. Who would have thought?The mystery of Kael was more than enough to keep my ana

    AVA"I just handed it over, so what is the meaning of this?" I asked, my tone measured, my eyes narrowed but searing."This is Mr. Kael's invite, Miss Ava," the man said."And?""He did not tell us he was bringing an extra along with him."Extra. That word infuriated me to my core. My wolf snarled

    AVA”I am really sorry. The insemination did not work again."The doctor's voice sounded far away like she was talking to me from a different room as I stared at the paper in her hand without being able to understand what it said.Failed? Again?I did not even remember how many times I had heard th
