AVAIt's been two days since the meeting, and I lie on my bed, rolling from side to side. My head was like a battlefield, different thoughts racing through it.I was caught in the spider's web with no way to escape. And now, I've been given an ultimatum by the elders.“Fuck you, Ava,” I cursed at myself as I sat up on the bed. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, and I looked like a mess. Hair messed up like a bird’s nest, eye bags beneath my eyes and my face pale. This wasn't how I thought my life would be. I thought that after I had made my decision to the elders, everyone would take it in stride and I'd be free. But no, they all didn't take it lightly and now here I am, stuck, depressed and dying slowly within myself.I thought that once the war was over, things could go back to the way they were. I expected that I'd go back to my normal life and write my final high school exams and prepare for college. But certain things aren't meant to happen, I guess.Maybe I was born to be

AVAThe rain showered on me as I ran through the village, my tears blurring my view. I had no idea where I was headed; all I knew was that I wanted to be far away, somewhere where no one could find me.The memories of Logan's pleading face flashed, and I felt a pang of guilt. It felt like I had left a dying and helpless man to care for himself.This was the very first time I would see someone like Logan cry. He was always the strong-hearted one, always ready to strike, but now, he was more like a helpless child.My heart ached as I walked through the dark lonely road.Why was I feeling guilty?Why were his tears touching me and making me feel the way I ought not to feel?I shouldn't have gone to see him. I should have listened to Selene and left the pack, and gone to someplace where I can't be easily found. But I choose to stay, I choose to act by my thoughts and behave foolishly and now, this is the consequence of my action.If only there was a way to escape all this trauma, a way wh

AVAI paced around the hallway, clutching my hands together. It was finally here, the D-day. I was going to make my decision today, but my heart raced, beating rapidly.“You ready?” Selene asked, strolling in.I wiped my sweaty palms on my dress as I looked up at her. “I’m not sure.”“Well, you have no time to be sure.” Emelia replied, “The hall is quite full, everyone's waiting for you now.”Selene walked up to me, placing her arm on my shoulder, “You’ve thought thoroughly about this right?”“A little bit,” I answered, my voice a little bit tensed.She huffed out before continuing, “I know you can do this. It's either Logan, Xavier or no one. You can make any choice you want, no one's gonna stop you, alright?”I sighed as I breathed heavily, straightening up my face. “Okay, I can do this.”“You know you can actually have the two men right?” Emelia smirked, pacing around.“What?” Selene asked.“I mean, she can claim the two Alphas. It's not bad when you have two hot wolves by your sid

AVAI walked briskly, trailing after Selene. We were summoned to the meeting hall suddenly.It's been a week since we last held a meeting and also since Lucas escaped.“Why do you think this meeting is being called for?” I asked Selene.“I suppose it must have something to do with Lucas.” She replied.We entered the already full hall, taking my seat.I felt a burning gaze, and I looked up. Xavier was staring at me. His lips formed in thin line, his hands scratching against the arm of the chair.My jaw tightened, chest burning.leaning close to Selene, whispering, “I doubt Xavier and Logan have any idea about this meeting.”She tilted her head, staring at the two men, her brows furrowed. “Then who called the meeting?”The door swung open, and heavy wind flew in. Leading in front was Elder Marcus, the other elders following behind. Their entrance was a sight to behold. Each clutching onto a golden staff, their eyes glowing different shades.“This can't be...” Selene smiled.“What’s goin

AVAThe morning air was cold and chilly, it had rained during the night.I stared at my backpack lying on the bed. My chest tightened, this wasn't meant to happen, but it was all for the betterment of the pack. It was a sacrifice I was meant to pay.A shaky breath escaped my nostrils as I zipped the bag. Life wasn't meant to give us everything we wished for. I wanted to just be quiet, almost like a ghost, but instead, I became an Alpha, a leader of a pack and a prophecy child. I had no choice but to accept whatever fate had brought to my doorstep.“Leaving already?” Riley's voice came out low and soft.She stood by the door frame, hands crossed against her chest.“That’s the only choice,” I whispered, sighing. Riley stepped closer, sitting on the bed as she stared up at me, her eyes glossy.“But it isn't the only option.”I smiled, cupping her cheeks. “Yes, I know. But it's the right decision.”“I’ll miss you,” She whispered, her voice breaking.I pulled her into a comforting hug. I
