AVA

Kael's hold on me was firm. The stolen file in my hand began slipping as my body melted completely into his embrace, my resistance dying out altogether under the heat of his touch.

Kael's reflexes were quick. He caught the loose papers just in time before they could slip from my grip, his large hand wrapping securely around my lower stomach to keep them from spilling over on the floor.

I felt a sudden pool of intense heat between my legs, and a shaky, muffled sound escaped my throat.

    AVA"It is not particularly a surprise though," Lucas said.He was not saying it because he genuinely meant it. He was playing the gracious card deliberately, positioning the whole thing so that whatever happened next would look like our fault for showing up rather than his for trying to go around us."It is exactly the first time," I said. "And you know why.""Do I?" Lucas asked, the question carrying just enough innocence to be insulting."Why are you on the verge of requesting a private audience with the elders to propose a couple relational claim?" Kael said.The way Lucas's composure shifted told me everything. He had not expected Kael to know the specific nature of the meeting before they had even entered the building, and that small fracture, the brief recalibration behind his eyes, gave me a quiet confidence that we had made the right call in coming here."Mr. Kael," Lucas said, recovering smoothly, "even if your suspicions happen to be correct, by law this is a matter to be s

    AVA"You’ve been like this for more than five minutes now, Miss Ava," Amina said, worried.She had been standing there watching me and I had been aware of it the entire time. I did not adjust my expression or pretend I had not been somewhere else entirely. There was no point.She set the breakfast tray to the side before stepping closer, having already determined that food was not what was needed here."Is something on your mind?" she asked."Something is," I said. "I am just not entirely sure what to do with it yet."I turned slightly toward her."A couple of days ago, mother and I organized a counter gathering and I tried to push through the crowd before the guards turned us back. I noticed something. People that were not supposed to be there."Amina nodded, not feigning ignorance."I have read the reports and seen some of the documents," she said. "I have a general picture of who makes up the protest movement and some of the ones funding it. So what was different about these ones?"

    AVAI didn’t give him an answer right there and then, but over the next three days I had shed more light on the situation at hand proving I was still well enough and capable. Even then, Kael's plan was meticulous.He had introduced a method of counterattacking from the inside out, narrowing the channels available to the converging families rather than meeting them head on, shrinking the range of what they could actually reach before they had the numbers to use it.It still required absolute alignment between every moving part, no misalignment, no deviation, because the moment one piece slipped it would not just slow the plan, it would undo the very foundations it had been designed to protect.I remembered the weight behind his words when he had explained it.I was still turning it over when mother's voice pulled me out of it."Ava," she said. "You are zoning out.""It is nothing, mother," I said. "I was just thinking."We were already in the car, moving away from the estate, the road

    AVA"This is bad," I said.I did not soften it into an admission. It simply was what it was."It is," Kael said. "And with what the elders have laid out, we need to think carefully about what measure actually curbs this rather than just delays it further. Because if we do not land on something real, everything we have already built gets walked back. If not worse."It was no longer just the two of us in the same way it had been the night before. Father had already moved to meet with the political families still aligned on our side, working the second layer of the plan, the more structured one.Sir Darwin had remained firmly with us. The families who had accepted the restructuring and held to it were still in our corner, a quiet but meaningful weight.What father was working toward was ensuring that the pressure did not sit only on Grayson's side and the elders, that the political families loyal to the restructuring also moved as a visible front, so that what was coming did not look lik

    AVA "Mr. Kael. Miss Ava," the garud standing by the door greeted as we entered inside. This was the first time the elders had called for a private meeting under anything close to good terms. Every prior summons had come wrapped in tension, in scrutiny, in the kind of formality that made it clear we were being measured rather than welcomed. This time felt different. Unified, almost, though I had learned by now not to mistake unity in a room like this for anything close to comfort. "Elders," we greeted in return. "First, we want to commend you," one of them said, "for your efforts in curbing the illegal protests and the illicit actions carried out over these past several days. Days that, left unchecked, could easily have spiraled into a crisis this pack has not seen the likes of in generations." "Thank you," Father said. Others spoke up in agreement. "We also thank you for your judgment in discerning the right path through such complicated circumstances, and we hope that co

    AVAI would not have thought that the gathering after our triumph would lead me to Kael's apartment.But here I was.Something inside me had needed this, even if I had not been willing to name it while it was happening. Whatever version of comfort I had been quietly wanting through all of these weeks, I had not allowed myself to reach for it directly. Yet somehow I had ended up here anyway, and the moment I stepped inside the totality of his presence settled around me in a way that nothing else had managed to.My wolf found rest in it without asking for permission."You have been quiet, Ava," Kael said, handing me a cup of tea.I looked at the cup and its contents.It was not guesswork. Even now, even in this state, he had read what I needed before I had said anything at all, as though something in me had been communicating it to him without my awareness."It's nothing," I said."That is also a classic," he replied, and I wanted to dismiss it but found I could not treat it as a lie wi

    AVAMy mother.The moment she heard my voice she turned to me. Her eyes got all teary, the anger she had just a minute ago disappearing.I forced a smile even though I was still feeling pretty tense inside."Mom, do not get so upset, " I said softly, trying to calm her down before things got worse.

    AVAFrom the corridor, I listened to every word, a faint bitter smile slowly curling at the corners of my lips.Sister. That is what Lucas called me.After seven years of marriage in our previous life after countless nights spent in the illusion of tenderness after everything I had endured and sacr

    AVAMy mother's face was a picture of shock when I told her I did not want to marry Lucas. She just stood there frozen. After a moment she let out a sigh. It was a sound that said she felt helpless."The wedding is all arranged, Ava," she said. "The invitations have been sent out. How can you say s

    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
