Ryder watched as Jax left his study, he was so angry that he clenched his fingers very tightly. He had never met anyone as cowardly and annoying as Jax before.It became very clear to him that Jax hadn't investigated the matter properly before declaring Ava guilty. How could he do that to his friend and ex fiancée. He knew that he hadn't properly investigated what happened with Lavender either but at least he hadn't denounced him and gave him an outcast mark.He made up his mind not to let Jax anywhere close to Ava and when everything was settled, he would arrange for Lily and Ava to have a meeting to trash out their issues.For now he had to hold a meeting with the Alphas of the different packs...........Lavender was sitting in the garden with Claudia."I really missed Fireblood pack." Claudia said as she looked around breathing in the fresh air."It's good you are back. Maybe you can come back now." Lavender replied."And why would I come back?" Claudia asked slyly.Lavender looke

Ava looked through the remaining photos and confirmed that the man in the photo was really her father. Her father had been Helena's mate? She didn't understand. Didn’t her father tell her that her mother who was his mate had died from a rogue attack shortly after her birth. How then was he related to Fireblood pack and Helena? Ava made up her mind to ask Helena later.She dropped the album and went to bed. In the middle of the night, a figure dressed in all black sneaked to her room and lit an incense burner on her window sill. Ava slept and unknowingly inhaled the smoke. The contents of the incense was dried leaves of the Eternal chaos plant. THE GRAND FINALE OF THE GENERAL WEREWOLF MEETING..........Today was the grand finale and conclusion of the general werewolf meeting. All the werewolves in the region were present.The whole place was packed full with people. Ryder went into his study to have a little quiet time before going out again to meet the crowd."You look exhausted." s

Ava sat on the prison floor with tears dripping from her eyes, what had come upon her, why had she attacked Lily? She didn't know what had come over her that had made her attack Lily.Lily had said some hurtful words that had provoked her but that shouldn't have made her so angry that she attacked her. She was never that hot headed.She remembered how Ryder had refused to look at her, things had been going so well between them, why had she ruined things with her hot temper?She knew that nothing could save her this time. She would surely be killed this time around. She touched her cheek which Jax had slapped. Jax was the biggest coward in the world. To think that he had shared her secret with Lily.Suddenly while she was lost in her thoughts, someone appeared in the room. She looked at the intruder in shock, how had he vanished out of thin air?She moved back in fright, "who are you?" she asked."my name is Dreya. Your father sent me to rescue you.""my father?""Yes, Mr Dustin Shields

Ava was seated in a luxurious looking room, her father was seated beside her while her aunt and Dreya sat opposite them. "So is someone going to tell me what's going on?" Ava asked them. "Ava sweetie it's a long story and you have had quite a long and hectic day, why not have a rest and we can talk about it later." Dustin tried to placate her. "No. I want to hear everything now. You have kept a lot of secrets from me and I want to know everything now." Ava said with a determined gleam in her eyes. Dustin sighed, from experience, he knew it was best to do what she wanted because she was very stubborn. "fine, I will tell you everything. I just hope you can forgive me." he told her. "go on." Ava said. Dustin cleared his throat and started speaking. "Back in my younger days, I was a member of Fireblood pack. I had a mate and everything was going fine. Then the Alpha, at that time, Ryder's father sent me on a mission to reach an agreement with the vampires so they would stop attack

It was evening, Ryder was seated in his study waiting for Evena. He wondered how tonight's ritual was going to go and what they were going to find out. Ryder was both scared and eager to know what really happened in the past. He was conflicted about what to feel, if it turned out that Lily had a hand in Ava's attack, he could prove Ava's innocence, Ryder really didn't want to think that his little sister was capable of such an heinous act.Evena appeared in the study, Ryder noticed that he looked tired. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I am fine. are you ready?" Evena asked him. "I am." Ryder replied. "Is everything ready for the ritual?""Yes, everything is ready for the ritual." Ryder replied."The room?""Yes.""The candles?""Yes.""What about Jayden, where is he?"A light bulb went on in Ryder's head, he knew that he had forgotten something but he couldn't remember what it was until now, he had forgotten to tell Jayden about what they were doing. "You forgot to tell him, didn't you
