Dominic's POV Sebastian dropped a few photos on my desk, I reached for them, my hands brushed through slightly blurry images.“And what am I looking at?” I asked, glancing up at him for a moment.Sebastian leaned closer to my desk, “I got those from the security room at the theater house.” He explained, caressing his clean, low bearded chin. I looked down at the photos, trying to make something out of it, but all I see are figures of two hefty men in leather jackets and black face masks. “I didn't want to get them at first because of how blurry they are. But it was the only thing I could make do with.” Sebastian added.I picked up one of the photos that gave a good angle of their arms. Ava had told me these men had tattoos on their neck and arms.Unfortunately, from their face to their necks were totally covered, which was out of the question. But their arms…“What's it?” Sebastian asked.“Ava mentioned they had tats.” I replied, without looking at him, my gaze entirely fixed on get

Ava's POV After Dominic left for the office, I had no other option but to leave the room and the depressing silence that came with it. I guess it was just going to be another day of gisting and being around Valerie and Isla in the nursery. They both had a way of keeping my mouth less busy, and I didn't want it any other way. They were fun to be with. If it wasn't Dominic keeping me company around here, it would be them.Breakfast was served, only I and Elena ate together, while Viola avoided the idea of being around me as always. “Are you feeling better now?” Elena asked just as we began eating. I nodded, “I feel better.” I replied.She nodded, eating her meal with that same poise and elegance that she must have grown up practicing. “That's good to hear,” “When did you and Dominic realize you were mates?” Elena suddenly asked. “He's refused to tell me anything whenever I ask,” she added, chewing her food slowly.I paused, the spoonful of macaroni and cheese in mid air. The quest

Dominic’s POV After the call ended with Ava, I couldn't help but feel her insecurities from over here. She still doesn’t see herself as someone that I could crown as my Luna. I hated knowing she still doubted herself when it came to us. She saw a throne beside me and thought she wasn't worthy enough to sit there, but all I saw when I looked at her was my future. I didn't care about status, bloodlines, or what anyone else thought. Ava had already become home to me long before either of us realized it.I needed to show her she was far more than being an omega wolf. But before that, I had to wrap up with what I have going on here. The Alpha of silver Crest pack was abducted by my men and brought to one of the many properties I owned. I walked back to the spot where he was tied on a chair, alongside the men he had ordered to abduct Ava. I didn't expect to get all of them that easily, even with Alpha Cade’s escorts, none of them could protect him from my men.“So, are you ready to tell

Ava's POV By the time Dominic and I came downstairs, I had managed to calm myself a little. The conversation we had upstairs still sat heavily in my chest, but Dominic had somehow eased some of the anxiety that had been eating at me. I kept replaying his words in my mind. You don't owe anyone explanations. I'll handle it. For some reason, hearing him say those things had made me feel safer. I wasn't carrying the burden alone anymore. As we walked side by side toward the dining room, Dominic's fingers brushed against mine before eventually intertwining with them naturally, and I looked up briefly to find him giving me a small smile. It was almost like he could sense the thoughts running through my head.The dining room was already prepared by the time we entered. The scent of food immediately filled the air, and Elena was already seated at the table with a glass of water resting beside her plate. But my attention shifted almost instantly toward the other person sitting there.Viola.

Ava's POV The next morning, I woke up much earlier than usual. Sunlight slipped through the curtains and spread across the room, casting a warm glow over everything around me. For a few moments, I stayed still beneath the sheets, staring up at the ceiling while replaying last night's events in my head. Dominic had reassured me over and over again before we slept, and even though his words had helped calm me, I still couldn't completely stop thinking about his mother.The tension at dinner had been uncomfortable enough, but the thought of Elena wanting to talk to me personally made nervousness settle deep inside my stomach again.When I turned toward Dominic's side of the bed, I found it empty.I frowned slightly.His side was already cold.He was probably busy handling something already.I slowly sat up and got out of bed before freshening up. Since I knew I was going to meet Elena, I decided to keep things simple. I didn't want to look like I was preparing for some sort of formal m
