Cracks Beneath The Crown

Lucien's POV Dinner was supposed to be a moment where I could enjoy my meal, and maybe share a light conversation with Selen like we used to do before, but neither of that was happening. Pack issues and finding Ava seemed to tug at my mind and it made me feel uneasy.I wasn't expecting that my warriors had found any valuable information about Ava's whereabouts. I wondered why she was so difficult to find. And then meeting Alpha Dominic seemed to be like the most difficult thing in the world.Who does he even think he is? I bet he was feeling so important knowing how much I want to meet with him. I couldn't help but think that his act of ignoring my request was intentional.But why?As far as I know, my pack has a good reputation, not entirely perfect, but other Alphas were willing to invest in me. Why was the Alpha king so fucking different?“Are you fighting with your steak?” Selen suddenly spoke after the long hours of silence between us.I looked down at my plate and I saw the res

A Different Kind Of Morning

Ava's POV Elena and Viola were planning to stay in the pack for a long time, and I figured that just as two maids passed by me, struggling to carry some luggages. Viola stood in the middle of the hallway, giving out instructions to them on handling the bags carefully, like it could break into pieces if mishandled.Then our eyes suddenly met. A smile spread across my face, but before I could greet her a good morning, she rolled her eyes, turned and walked into her bedroom.And just as she left, I was reminded of the reason for waking up early. For some reason I was clueless about, Dominic didn't sleep beside me last night. Could he have been occupied with work all night? Or was he back to sleeping in his bedroom?I heard Rhea yawn in my head, “Quit the questions and go check him out in both rooms.” She advised, her voice low and still exhausted from sleep.I listened to her, going to check his bedroom first. But the room was empty and tidy like no one has been there in years.I closed

A Dance Of Intentions

Ava's POV Breakfast was served.I had convinced Dominic to eat something before going out for work, he didn't want to at first because he was running late. Sebastian on the other hand, who was going with him had no other choice but to have breakfast too.And seated across from me are Viola and Elena. Elena, as usual, already enjoyed being around me, and she couldn't help but tease me in front of everyone about shopping for clothes like I was on a certain budget.When she puts it that way, I feel like a puppet amidst them. But I'd blame my reaction on the fact that I didn't have that kind of privilege in Red veil pack.Still, I laughed about it. We all did, except for Viola, who kept a straight face while eating, she was probably upset because Dominic had forced her to come have breakfast with us. She being here was going to help me achieve my plans faster and easier.The plan to get Viola to like me. Valerie has suggested that I find what Viola is interested in and surprise her with

Too Quiet To Be Safe

Chapter 64Dominic’s POVDuring the drive, a feeling of unease tugged at my mind. For some reason, Ava’s outing with Viola didn't sit right with me anymore after giving it more thought. “Do you think Ava and Viola would hang out without any issues?” I asked no one in particular, expecting either Orion or Sebastian to give me an answer. Orion was sitting behind the steering wheel, while Sebastian sat by his side.Orion glanced at me through the rearview mirror, a slight smile tugging at his lips, before he looked back to the road.Sebastian shrugged, “They might.” he replied.“Are you scared that they wouldn't?” Orion questioned the obvious.“I'm more worried about Ava.” I said, “Viola can be mean sometimes, and I can tell she hasn't learnt to like Ava yet.”Sebastian tilted his head to my side, “Maybe that's going to change today.”I shook my head, “I doubt that. Viola is difficult to please.” “Why did you let Ava pull through with it if you know it's not going to go well?”“I never

Grace And Sharp Edges

Ava's POV The moment we arrived at the opera house, I was fascinated by what I was seeing. The building stood like a masterpiece against the bright sky, glowing beneath warm golden lights that traced every elegant curve and towering pillar. Huge glass windows reflected the city around us, while a long crimson carpet stretched from the entrance down the marble steps.People moved in and out dressed in stunning outfits, their laughter and conversations blending with the distant sound of violins drifting from inside. Luxury cars lined the curb one after another, attendants opening doors with practiced ease.I slowly stepped out of the car, my eyes lifting toward the massive chandelier visible through the glass entrance. It sparkled like a thousand tiny stars suspended in the air.“Wow,” Isla breathed out before she could even stop herself. And I stood beside her, smiling knowingly, whereas I was as surprised as she was. Suddenly Viola sighed beside me, before walking forward, then sh

The Sound Of Silence

Ava's POV It wasn’t until I stood up that I realized I had no idea where the restroom was. I’d been too upset to even think about it earlier.I wandered down a long hallway, glancing around as people hurried past me. Some disappeared into a room that looked like a dressing room, while others rushed back out carrying makeup kits, costume bags, and headsets.“Shit, I think I’m lost,” I muttered under my breath, slowing to a stop.Rhea immediately chimed in. “No kidding. Maybe try asking someone for directions?”I let out a quiet sigh before finally gathering the courage to stop someone.“Excuse me,” I called out, catching the attention of a blonde-haired woman just as she walked past me.“Yes?” she responded patiently, turning toward me.“I’m sorry,” I said politely, “could you tell me where the restroom is?”“Oh, of course. Just turn left at that corner,” she explained, pointing down the hallway. “You’ll see the sign right there.”Relief washed over me instantly.I gave her a small sm

Safe In His Arms

Ava's POV For a moment, I had mixed feelings of betrayal, hurt, fear, all coursing through me at once as these unknown men tried to take me away forcefully. But just as I screamed, “Someone help me…” Nothing changed. The men were at an advantage, they were obviously stronger than I was. As though frustrated from my struggling, one of them struck me in the face, and I dropped to the ground instantly. My vision blurred and my head throbbed.“How easy was that,” one of them mocked, and I heard the other laugh. Before I could recover, I was hoisted up on a shoulder, my hands dangling down someone's back. “Hey…” Suddenly a loud voice came through the quiet hallway. I couldn't tell who it was, but I hoped they were here to help me, because as it was now, I had lost this fight.“Stop there…” the voice came through again, louder and urgent this time around. That sounded like Isla. I forced my head up, trying to look, but all I saw were figures running towards me. “Handle them…I'll take ca

A Promise Of Blood

Dominic's POV I didn't let go of Ava. We practically fell asleep in each other's arms, and only when I opened my eyes did I notice that it was already dark outside.I turned to Ava, who was sleeping so peacefully in my arms. I'd hate myself if I woke her up, but she needed to eat something. I enjoyed a moment of watching her sleep, tucking a lock of her brown hair between her ears, caressing her glossy pink lips with my thumb.She shifted, turning her head the other way, her forehead suddenly creased, as though offended about something, it earned a soft chuckle from me. “Ava,” I whispered gently, but I got nothing but a low groan in response.I smiled faintly, watching as her brows furrowed deeper like she was annoyed by the sound of my voice. Then she slowly swirled her head in my direction, “I heard that,” she mumbled, her voice still hoarse from sleep as her eyes fluttered open.Another chuckle escaped my lips before I could stop it, “How are you feeling now?” I asked, brushing

The Truth Beneath The Silence

Ava's POV As much as I wished to stay in Dominic's arms for another minute, a knock interrupted the moment, as we pulled apart.“Dom,” Elena's voice echoed from outside, knocking again.“It's your mum.” I whispered to Dominic, as though it were not already obvious. But somehow I was a bit shy that she'd come in and see Dominic and I facing each other and I in my towel. “Go on, go see what she wants.” I said, giving him a little nudge towards the door. “Yes, mum. I'm coming.” Dominic called out loudly, adjusting his shirt as he ran his hand through his hair, and just as he went further I noticed the soapy area at the back of his hair.“Dominic…” I tried to call out to him, but he had already opened the door for his mother. A side of her face was visible, and the rest of her body was hidden by Dominic's huge body frame, “I heard what happened.” She began, her voice etched with panic, “Where's she?” Shit. She was here to see me. I tried to rush towards my closet, but the pain in my

Complicated Truth

Ava's POV After dinner, Dominic had to step out with Sebastian for a moment, leaving me alone in the bedroom. Somehow I could tell it had something to do with the men that had tried to abduct me. I didn't really care about them being found, all I wanted at the moment was to have Dominic by my side. I wanted the warmth of his skin on me. I wanted us to be in each other's arms until the next morning. I felt this clingy because a part was being grateful. Grateful that I got to see Dominic again. At that moment, I thought I'd never see him again. And something about the whole attack pointed towards the Redveil pack. I thought Lucien had finally found me and had sent those men to bring me back.Now that I think about it, fear gripped me once more, memories from earlier flooded in, making me jerk out of bed. “I need some fresh air,” I muttered, and that earned an uninterested yawn from Rhea. She still sounds exhausted.“I’m surprised that you can sleep while I struggle to even close my
