Forgiveness And Pride

Ava's POV “Get off me, Dom,” I complained, squirming beneath him with a small frown. The annoyance in my voice was real, but so was the warmth hiding underneath it. "You don't get to act all cute right now.”“I think you're going to run away if I let go of you right now,” Dominic said, his face so close to mine that I could feel his hot breath on my face. My brows pulled together, as I looked at him, “Run away? To where exactly?” I shot back, not in a harsh way, “And did you drink yourself to stupor again?” “Shoot, am I that obvious?” He asked, lifting one hand from the floor and blowing air onto his palm, then sniffed it like a dog. Whatever the smell was like, it made him push his head backwards with his face laced with disgust, “Hmmm, that's something.”“Yeah, it's something. I can't take anymore of that horrid smell too, so get off me.” I said, my voice carrying that edge of irritation reserved only for people I care about.“You didn't mean that,” he muttered, leaning in to kis

The Perfect Luna

Ava's POV By evening, things around the mansion had become strangely calm again. After everything that happened over the last twenty-four hours, I had honestly expected the atmosphere to stay tense for a while. I expected awkward glances, uncomfortable silence, or at least some lingering hostility hanging around the house. But surprisingly, the mansion had returned to its usual rhythm. The servants moved around normally, voices occasionally echoed through the hallways, and even Dominic seemed lighter after speaking with Viola earlier. I wasn't sure what exactly happened between them after I left yesterday, but whatever it was, things seemed better. At least from the outside.Dinner had already been prepared by the time I entered the dining room, and I immediately noticed that almost everyone was already seated.Dominic sat at his usual spot with Sebastian beside him, casually scrolling through something on his phone. Elena was speaking quietly with one of the staff while Viola sat n

His Last Mate

Dominic's POV The moment the three of us entered my study, Sebastian stretched his arms over his head and groaned dramatically as if someone had dragged him to a prison sentence instead of a meeting. I ignored him entirely and walked around my desk while loosening the cuff of my sleeve. Elaine followed behind me with a folder tucked beneath her arm, her expression calm and focused. Unlike Sebastian, who constantly acted like every responsibility in life was some terrible burden, Elaine looked like she had spent the last few hours thinking seriously about whatever brought her downstairs tonight. Sebastian dropped into a chair and sighed dramatically. “I could've been sleeping right now,” he complained while leaning his head backward. “Or eating dessert. Or literally doing anything else.” He looked at Elaine accusingly, leaning in, “Please tell me you discovered that North Ridge is sitting on buried treasure.”Elaine rolled her eyes and placed the folder on my desk. “Unfortunately

Promises And Threats

Ava's POV After Viola walked away earlier, I tried convincing myself that her words didn't matter. I told myself that she was only trying to get under my skin. I told myself that Dominic loved me and that should have been enough. I told myself a lot of things. The problem was that my mind wasn't listening to any of them.Because no matter how much I tried distracting myself, her words kept finding their way back."I think Elaine is perfect for Dominic.""I'll do everything to make sure Elaine becomes Luna."I hated it.Not because I thought Dominic would suddenly stop loving me and run into Elaine's arms. That wasn't it. I trusted him. I trusted the way he looked at me, the way he held me, and the way he defended me.But there was a tiny part of me, a small, annoying part, that kept whispering things I didn't want to hear.Elaine is stronger. Elaine already knows this life. People already like her.And what made it worse was that Viola hadn't even sounded like she was trying to insul

A Dangerous Conversation

Dominic's POV I had specifically chosen another location for the meeting instead of allowing Lucien into my pack territory. It wasn't because I didn't trust the security around my pack. My guards were capable enough to deal with almost any threat that presented itself. But this had nothing to do with security. This had everything to do with Ava. Since Lucien had started being persistent about requesting a meeting with me, I already knew who he was the moment his name reached my desk. I knew enough about him without even having to dig too deeply. And the one thing I had no intention of doing was allowing him anywhere near Ava. Not now. Definitely never.Ava had only just begun breathing freely again. She had only just started smiling without restraint, laughing without forcing herself, and slowly shedding pieces of the fear and pain she carried from her past. I wasn't foolish enough to think every scar on her heart had healed already. Some wounds stayed hidden beneath the surface.

Memories Don't Stay Buried

Ava's POV For some reason, I had been feeling uneasy all morning. It wasn't one of those feelings that came suddenly and disappeared after a few minutes. It had followed me from the moment I woke up, sitting heavily in my chest like an invisible weight pressing down on me.No matter how much I tried distracting myself, I couldn't get rid of it. I had hoped keeping myself occupied around the nursery would help take my mind away from whatever was making me feel this way, but even surrounded by laughter and noise, my thoughts kept drifting elsewhere.The truth was, I knew exactly what was making me anxious. Dominic was meeting Lucien today. Ever since Dominic mentioned it, I had tried pretending that I wasn't bothered by it, but that had been nothing more than an act. The closer the hours passed, the more my thoughts kept becoming restless. Maybe because lately, it felt like my past had suddenly remembered I existed. One person resurfaced, then another. One memory after another came c

The Last Option

Lucien's POV When I got back to the pack, anger had settled so deeply into my chest that it felt difficult to breathe normally throughout the drive home, and several times I had nearly lost control of my temper thinking about that meeting. I had walked into it expecting results. I had walked in expecting respect from that jerk. Instead, I left feeling humiliated. Dominic had looked at me as if I were beneath him. No, that wasn't entirely right. He had looked at me like I was a problem that needed to be tolerated for a few minutes before being thrown away. The more I thought about it, the more the rage inside me grew.“Alpha,” My beta called slowly, glancing at me from time to time through the rearview mirror while driving. “How do you plan on handling this matter with the Alpha king? You seem a little beaten up by it.”I shook my head, “I'm more than beaten up by the matter.” I replied. “And for someone who's so full of himself, it would be hard to let that jerk on my side.”“That'

The Longest Evening

Ava's POV By evening, I had already checked the time more times than I wanted to admit. At first, I wasn't worried. Dominic sometimes got busy with work and returned later than expected, especially whenever something important came up involving the pack or business matters. I understood that much already. Being with Dominic meant understanding that his responsibilities didn't simply disappear because we wanted quiet moments together.But this felt different. Because Dominic had told me he wouldn't be too long.And Dominic was usually very careful about keeping his word.The sun had already begun disappearing beyond the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange and fading purple. The pack grounds had slowly started becoming quieter too. People had returned indoors while lights around the mansion and nearby buildings had begun turning on one after another.And still...No sign of Dominic.I sighed and stared down at my phone again.There were no messages, nothing to keep me rest

The Spa Invitation

Ava's POV I woke up with a sharp breath caught in my throat, my eyes flying open as my heart pounded heavily against my chest. For a few seconds, I couldn't even understand where I was. Everything felt blurred between sleep and reality. Then slowly, the familiar ceiling above me came into focus, along with the warmth beside me and Dominic's arm loosely wrapped around my waist.I blinked several times. Because in my sleep, I saw myself in Redveil again. Being tortured worse than before.I released a shaky breath and slowly leaned back against the pillows.The dream had felt so real.Lucien had been there.Not the Lucien I remembered from before, but one with rage burning in his eyes. Fire surrounded the pack grounds while people ran everywhere screaming. I remembered seeing guards on the ground, blood, and hearing wolves growling around me. I remembered Lucien walking toward me through all the chaos as if nothing around him mattered."You're coming back with me." He said to me, Even n

The Spa Day Disaster

Ava's POV The elegant aesthetic of the spa was supposed to make anyone feel at home almost immediately when they enter, but in my own case, it only reminded me that Elaine was going to be around Dominic throughout today. And I would be here, overthinking and pretending to feel excited about getting a massage or a pedicure. Whatever Elena had planned for the three of us.We got invited into a cozy, dim lit room, with provided beds and comfortable, warm robes.I was the last to put on my robe, and when I finally figured out how to tie the ropes, I came out of the restroom, only to find Viola sleeping close to the next empty bed that was mine. She was on her phone, until she glanced up at me with a repelling look, like my presence had suddenly interrupted her peace.I went anyway, ignoring her.One of the masseuses was already waiting, ready to give me what I'd assume would be a good body massage. I mean, looking at Elena, who slept just close to Viola's bed, an eye pillow covering her
