Suri was in her bedroom, deep in her thoughts, she still hasn’t gotten over the beta’s announcement since the day before yesterday. She kept on asking herself different questions. Is Ava all right? Did she survive the shock? If she’s alive, shouldn’t she have come out by now? Her heart could only fear the worst. She heard the light snores of her second daughter, Jannie, sleeping on the bed behind her. She loved Meeka very much, but sometimes she just wished the lass would be more like her sister; quiet and peaceful, but it was all just wishful thinking, Meeka carried the spirit of her father, one of the strongest weapon and wood carvers who perished with their former pack.  She turned her attention back to the dress she was mending in her arms and suddenly, she saw Meeka appear in front of her. She nearly jumped out of her skin upon seeing her, she didn’t know how long her daughter had been standing there. “O

 “The mean lady who took dolly away and threw her into the lake, she told me she didn’t mean to but she did it on purpose, she threw dolly into the lake and told me to fetch Ava, Ava had superpowers, the water won’t harm her, that’s what she said, but the water did harm Ava, now Ava got hurt because of that mean lady,” tears began to flood Meeka’s eyes as she remembered everything that had happened. Seeing Ava being all fried up reminded her of daddy and the bad roggies that attacked her pack that blessed day. He knew it. Someone had taken advantage of this little girl’s innocence and used it to try to kill Ava. And that person was living right under this roof; after everything he’d done for this pack, they chose to betray him like this. He would make sure he found out whoever it was and make them pay. Lucas walked over to Meeka’s chair and picked up a tissue, using it to wipe her wet eyes. 

The Dawn pack’s Beta Cian and Gamma Filip called for another gathering that same evening at the packhouse courtyard. All the dawn wolves wondered what it would be this time around. And as soon as they were all gathered, Cian began the announcement. “The two mistresses of the Alpha, known as Vivian and Ria have been hereby dismissed from their duties and banished from the Dawn packhouse forever. If they are ever to return for any reason whatsoever it may be, they are to be killed immediately.” Everyone gasped. “The alpha gave this command after finding out their punishable crimes against Ava Maynard, the alphas mate. Luckily, Ava Maynard survived the incident but Vivian and Ria were still punished because of their betrayal to the alpha. Let us all be reminded that the Dawn pack will not tolerate any form of indiscipline or betrayal against our kind, we must learn to love and grow with one another, and the alpha will

After the new friends talked some more, it was time to go. Ava then escorted Kiara out of her room, now that the culprit had been found, she was free to move about again and it felt so good to have her freedom back. Kiara bid her goodbye as soon as she stepped out of her quarters and as soon as Ava turned back to enter her room, Nani came in behind her. “Kiara took a lot of time, there’s a whole lot of visitors that still wanted to see you, Ava.”“Really? Where are they?”“I told them it’s already late. They’ll resume with the visits tomorrow.”“That’s very considerate of them. I didn’t know the dawners would turn out to be so friendly.”“They seem to have taken a liking to you, Ava.” “I have taken a liking to them too; they all care so much for me.”“Yes, we all do dear Ava.”Nani was about to bid

Ava woke up from the hard rock her head laid on, it took a while for her to return to her senses and realized that the hard rock turned out to be Lucas’s body. For the first time, she’d slept in his arms, and she’d woken up beside him, it was not like the disappointment she got from last time when he left her. Even though all parts of her body ached and her neck felt a bit distorted, she wouldn’t give up last night for anything in the world, a blush crept up her cheeks as she remembered how she’d pleased him last night. She’d fulfilled his desires and he’d fulfilled hers as well. She was deep in her thoughts and didn’t know for how long Lucas had been watching her until she gazed up at him and met those dark blue eyes again, she smiled, leaned up and kissed him, sliding her tongue into his mouth, the kiss reminded her of the moments they shared the previous night, and she almost felt the need to continue it again, but she couldn&
