_AVA_"Ava, you don't have to do this. Come back to the pack, and I promise that no one else will hear about this." Hayes spoke, surrounding me with a few guards as they catch up to me.I look at him, tears threatening to fall from my eyes, with so much anger in my heart. Hayes is my destined mate and I'm his Luna, but to an extent, it was all a facade.He doesn't like me, he hated the thought of me being his mate, but here he is, standing on the path and trying to stop me from leaving."Haven't you done enough, Hayes? Or rather, Alpha Reid?" I felt the anger in my heart threatening to spill out, "Why do you chase after me? To stop me from leaving?!""Don't you see what you're doing is madness?!" He retorted, yelling, "How can the Luna flee from her own pack? From her duty to guide and nurture the members of the pack?!" He was right.I'm not supposed to do this—I'm the Luna of Nightshade Pack, his Luna, so why was I fleeing?It was truly madness, but I can't possibly turn around and

_AVA_My handmaid, Jenna, came to get me just as Hayes left, in time for the ceremony. She was dressed already and I walked behind her, letting her lead the way downstairs, my footsteps poised and soft. I was wearing an off-shoulder Princess long a-line tulle ball dress, in the colour coral!The corset of the dress hugged tightly to my body, and not to brag, but I look breathtaking in it!Light shimmered off its soft pink sequined bodice, creating little rainbows across the room as the light reflected on it.

It very much resembled a quince dress, only that it wasn't as puffy as a ball gown.I had no expression on my face as I walked down the stairs, but inside I was dying. Meeting Hayes wasn't what I had thought it would be; he was totally different from what I had imagined he'd be.The idea I had developed of him from reading his words on text was a lie and it felt like he wasn't even the one who had been writing back to me all these yea

_AVA_"You don't need to stand being in my presence when you have my arms, where you can be even closer to me." he returned.My eyes widened.What was he doing?!"Hayes, what the hell are you doing?" I shrieked, "Put me down!!""Nuh-uh. I'll take us to your room; like you said, I know the way there already." He replied straightforwardly, leaving no room at all for any arguments.Subconsciously, I relaxed into his hold. Maybe this was what I wanted all along— to be held by him and feel like he wanted me, half as much as I liked him at least.The way he had swiftly picked me off of my feet was mind-blowing... And kinda scary. He had done that in a matter of seconds, carrying me like a light sack of feathers that weighed nothing.That showed how much strength he had, compared to mine. If he doesn't hold me correctly, he could easily snap me into two and break me from his sheer strength alone.I guess this is one of the perks of being a Lycan King. Ultimate strength and power.My eyes wa
