upstairs in my bed

Darius POVIt took me a few seconds to understand what was happening.I froze where I stood, my hand still holding Aveline’s left wrist behind her back while my other hand rested against her jaw.Then I looked down.Her other hand was in a very unfortunate place.I closed my eyes for a second.“Fuck.” I was hard as fuck down there.I immediately released the hand I was holding and stepped back, dragging a hand down my face.Aveline, completely unaware of the chaos she had just caused, threw both hands over her face.“Let’s go homeeeee,” she whined.I sighed.“Deal with him.”One of my men immediately stepped forward.There was no way I was going to let the bastard who spiked her drink simply walk away.I bent down, picked up Aveline’s purse from where it had fallen nearby, then lifted her carefully into my arms.She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck.“Are we going home?”“Yes.”“Your home?”I looked down at her.“Yes.”She smiled.“Good. I like your house.”“You've never bee

Ghost and Goodbyes

Aveline POVI walked down the hallway with two of Darius’s men following a few steps behind me. I didn’t bother looking back to see if Darius was coming too.Honestly, I just wanted to leave.The mansion suddenly felt too big, too quiet, and far too intimidating for my liking. Every step I took made me more aware that I had spent the night in the home of the most feared Lycan King in the world.And after what I had overheard upstairs, I wasn't sure I wanted to know anything else.One of the men led me into the dining room, and I immediately stopped.Food.There was already a full breakfast spread across the table, and everything looked ridiculously delicious. Eggs, toast, fruits, pastries... even the smell alone made my stomach growl.I swallowed.My stomach clearly had no loyalty to me.Still, I shook my head.“Uhm... I’ll just pass,” I said quietly, turning around.I barely took a step before I stopped.Darius was standing directly in front of me.I hadn't even heard him approach.H

Alpha King

Aveline POVI glared at my phone for a few seconds before locking the screen and shoving it into my bag.The last person I wanted to start my day with was Ethan.I didn't have the energy for him. Not today.By the time I got to school, I was already trying to push everything that had happened since yesterday out of my mind. I walked down the familiar hallway toward the lecture hall where we would be having our first class of the day.I was only a few steps away from the entrance when a hand suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and yanked me backward.“Oh, goodness!”I nearly stumbled to the floor, but instead of falling, I heard soft giggles behind me.I turned around.Lyla.“Are you serious?” she asked, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. “Was the night really that good that you forgot to call me? Or even send one stupid text?”I burst out laughing as I regained my balance.“I’m sorry!”“You should be.”We walked into the lecture hall together, but before we reached our seats, I shoo

The cost of a fallen name

Aveline POVThe sound of metal scraping against the tiled floor filled the lecture hall as students began dragging their chairs back and packing their things.The moment the lecturer picked up his laptop, the entire room seemed to come alive.“Alright, I’ll see you all in the next class,” he said, glancing around the room. “And remember, your assignments must be submitted via email on or before eight tomorrow morning.”A collective groan came from somewhere at the back.The lecturer ignored it.He simply shook his head, picked up his things, and walked out.I watched him disappear through the door before turning to Lyla.She was already staring at me.I frowned.“What?”She didn't answer.“What did I do?” I asked, reaching for my books and beginning to pack them into my bag.She sighed and leaned closer.“Is something on your mind?”I looked at her suspiciously.“You're a werewolf, Lyla, not a mind reader.”She sniffed dramatically in my direction.“I was checking.”I burst out laughi

Aveline Hale

Aveline POVHours passed, and before I knew it, we were finally done with all our lectures for the day.Lyla and I walked out of the school building together, heading toward the parking area while she continued talking about her latest celebrity crush.At this point, I was beginning to wonder why we ever made agreements with each other.“I spent my entire remaining hours imagining what it would be like if I bumped into him,” she said dreamily. “Like, in the hallway, at a club, maybe even somewhere completely random!”I groaned.“Girl, you have been talking about him for the past twenty minutes, and I still have no idea who this ‘him’ is.”She gasped dramatically.“Don't tell me you don't remember me mentioning his name to you?”I gave her a blank stare.“If you had actually mentioned his name, do you think I'd be asking?”She pointed accusingly at me.“You were busy calculating, Ava!”“Because we had a class!” I shot back. “I was trying to focus!”She rolled her eyes.“You're impossib

Rumors, Debt and pack.

Aveline POVI arrived home a few minutes later and parked my scooter outside the house.I pulled off my helmet and hurried toward the front door, already thinking about how little time I had before I needed to leave for work.But the moment I stepped inside, I stopped. For a few seconds, I simply stood there. Something felt wrong.My eyes slowly moved around the living room, taking in the space I had known all my life.Except it didn't look like home anymore.The television was gone.So was the coffee table.The large armchair Mom always complained was too heavy to move was gone too.Even the curtains looked different. The room felt bigger now, but not in a good way.It felt hollow.Empty.Like someone had started taking pieces of our life away one item at a time.“Mom?”My voice echoed faintly through the house.I swallowed.“Mom?”A few seconds later, she walked out of the kitchen.The moment I saw her face, the irritation I had felt about the empty room disappeared.She looked exha
