AVA

The next day, my mind was still tangled in everything I had seen recreating the image effortlessly each time I tried not to think about it.

I checked my phone once more, the message I had sent Kael still sitting there, unanswered.

Some part of me considered waiting for him before going back there again this night, but I remembered what he had told me early on. We did not need to disappear together every single time.

Doing so too often was its own kind of risk, one more pattern for someone

    KAEL"It is not looking good, Mr. Kael," Victor said again. I had lost count of how many times I had heard that exact line over the past few days."I understand, Victor," I said. Grayson had already given the order to sanction the Calloways, mobilizing whatever resources he could against them, but the backlash from that decision was still something I had to weigh against everything else unfolding at the same time."I understand what you mean, Mr. Kael, but this is a different situation," Victor said. "Another political family is planning something closer to an avalanche. Not a protest, not exactly. More that they intend to sacrifice something significant to force their way into real infiltration, because they want to become a superpower in their own right, rather than risk being absorbed into the ones already forming. It seems they no longer trust Alpha Grayson's leadership to preserve their independence at all, so they are pursuing this method instead. If they succeed..."I did not l

    KAELIt was an obvious provocation.It would have cost me far less to close the distance between us, lift him off the ground by the throat, and drop him back down as a warning to anyone else still watching. I did not do that.My composure sat somewhere between anger and restraint, held there by a simple fact I could not ignore. Ava was not here this time. Whatever satisfaction I might have taken in silencing him the way I had once done on that stage, the moment I told him to leave and he actually vanished from the assembly, would not land the same way twice.Not without her watching it happen. Restraint, in this particular case, was worth more than the brief relief of losing it.Lucas raised an eyebrow at my silence, mistaking it for hesitation rather than restraint. My gaze only refocused on him more sharply for it."I believe it would be better if you asked her yourself," I said. "After all, you have been trying to work your way back into her scope this entire time. It seems you ha

    KAEL"Lucas!" Mr. Calloway said, as much warning as his tone would allow."We did not come here for a standoff. It is better to settle down," Calloway said, his eyes sharp, his posture unmoved, though something in the way he held himself told me exactly what calculation was running behind it.If Lucas pushed this into a direct confrontation, they would not have the numbers to stand against Grayson's own forces as well, not on two fronts at once.Lucas nodded once, out of arrogance rather than obedience, and took his seat. "My apologies, Mr. Kael. Please proceed with what you have brought to the table, so we know how to address you properly," he said.The rest of the room followed his lead, settling back into their chairs, though I remained standing a moment longer before finally taking my own seat."By now, we are well aware word would have reached you regarding our operations," Calloway said. "But the fact that you came here yourself, rather than sending enforcers ahead of you, tells

    Kael"It is not looking good, Mr. Kael," Victor said, the worry on his face evident as he braced himself against the doorframe, clutching a stack of papers."Has it ever?" I asked.Truthfully, I was not bogged down by his reaction. My eyes were tailored on something else instead... foreign information which I had been using to deduce internal power movements. But that had to wait now that he was here.Victor placed the papers on my desk, and I began to see the structural patterns almost immediately."So that is what the Calloways are planning here.""Yes, it seems so," Victor replied. "Internal intelligence I have been gathering also points to the fact that they are going to be ready to challenge the Alpha with a court case in the coming week.""This is indeed a monumental case, and they specifically avoided gaining attention on the front lines in order to spring it as a secret attack," I said, my deduction meticulous as my eyes drifted back to him. "I need you to mail this to Alpha G

    AVA“Damn headaches!”I cursed under my breath, my head throbbing like I had been hit again from the side, over and over with no rhythm to it... just pain finding new angles to press against.The file in my hand slipped free and hit the ground. I let it fall, settling back a short distance from where it landed, my palm pressed flat against my temple.For a moment, everything seemed to pull me in different directions at once. My wolf, restless and clawing low in my chest, as the truth seemed to give her a jolt which I hadn't anticipated.Some part of me, still carrying the weight of a life I had already lived and lost once, wanted only to curl into stillness and stop reading entirely... to let the past stay buried the way it had been for seven years already. The damage had been done, hadn’t it?But underneath both of those, the version of me sitting here now, the one who had already survived far worse than a single headache, simply wanted to keep going, whatever the cost of it turned o

    AvaI hadn't planned to exile myself from the house. Neither had I planned to block everybody out so painfully... especially Mum and Amina.But it was a necessary step to uncovering even more of what I had already discovered and bitterly come to accept.I couldn't call my current state an obsession. If these truths were fed to me in neat little tablets, I wouldn't have to swallow them in massive, suffocating blocks. But at this point, that was just a fantasy of a reality that would never come to pass. This method, as draining as it was, was an invasive necessity.My searches had been focused mainly on myself. I purposely deviated from the other block files, moving past the general data.I needed to discover what they held on me first. Maybe, just maybe, understanding my own file would tell me everything I needed to know about the rest of them.As I stared at the glowing screen, a specific memory pushed through the exhaustion clogging my brain. It hit me with sudden, striking clarity,

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?
