Ava retched as she threw up all the contents of her stomach into the toilet bowl. This has become a normal phenomenon for the past few days. While it was tiring and gut-wrenching, she knew it was part of this journey to becoming a mother.Resting on her knees, she tied her hair back and sat for a few minutes to make sure she had everything out. The past few weeks had been a hectic one for her, with the morning sickness coming in full force and not responding to the medications she was given, having to deal with the slight discomforts that came with it. She had a little bump now, barely noticeable, but she could see it. She had developed the habit of absentmindedly rubbing it, and sometimes she even caught herself talking to it.Just three months far along, and Ava could feel a strong connection with her child, she hoped it would turn out to be a boy. She had always wanted to know what it would feel like to raise a strong and fearless boy child.Getting up off the floor after sitt
Princess watched in anger as he stormed out of the house for the millionth time. It had been two weeks already, and she had not had another chance to show him the pictures.She blamed it widely on the attack on the barn but still, he seemed to be too invested in these things it became so annoying.Alpha Damon most likely had forgotten about their conversation since he never came to “continue” where they had stopped, or rather where they had been so rudely interrupted.She had barely even seen him around the house since the incident, being in one meeting or the other, trying to sort out one problem or the other.And he had pushed her a little farther away than she had expected, it was part of his bad habits, to push people away when he was trying to sort an issue or find a solution to an issue.She had accepted it, it was him. It was how he dealt with things, but he had gone extra this time. Consciously stayed out of his way and gave him as much space as she thought he might need.But
Alpha Jude heard a car drive in, Ava would not be back from work this early, so that could only mean one thing. He had a visitor and one he was not expecting as well.Curious as to who it was, alpha Jude left his desk and trudged to the window, he could see the entire front yard from the window so he had a clear view of the white SUV that was parked in his driveway.He waited patiently for whoever it was to alight, and a surprised look spread on his face when he saw who it was.Bold of her to come here, he thought as she walked towards the house, she looked professional, more professional than he had ever seen her look, and she had the sternest expression on her face. Anything to command some extra respect and power, he thought as he watched her sashay into the house. With a sigh, alpha Jude walked back to his desk, mentally preparing himself for the exhaustion that came with talking to her.He was still angry, furious at her for making his hard work go to waste because she could no
Sighing as he walked into the house, Alpha Damon flung his jacket on the couch and watched a maid scramble to get it, taking his tie off carelessly and giving it the same fate as his jacket.Not only was he just physically exhausted, he was mentally so too. The aroma of deliciousness filled his nostrils, making his mouth water. Maybe having a meal before he freshened up was not so much of a bad idea, he thought as he walked towards the dining table.Princess was already seated with her back to him, she muttered a welcome, and he replied with a thank you as he walked to his usual spot.The table was silent as they both focused on feeding their selves. He was grateful that Princess's usual bubbly and talkative self was quiet today because all he wanted was to eat and have a good night of rest.He could feel her eyes on him, but he ignored them, staring back at her would only provoke questions, questions that she probably would not give him any answers to. “We never finished our conver
Princess smiled when she heard his heavy footsteps against the wooden floor, his weary sigh gave her a pump. She had him just where and how she wanted him.Tired and weak, too burnt out to argue or turn her down, all she had to do was time him, say the right words, execute her best facial expressions, and get this over with, alpha Jude would be proud of her.She heard him pause at the door of the stairs, obviously contemplating what to do next, she had ordered the chefs to make their finest meal and put in their very best.A smile stretched her lips when she heard him walk towards the dining area. Well, guess the chefs did good, was all she thought, good enough to draw him here with just the aroma of their cooking.He just broke his routine of taking a shower and freshening up immediately after work. “Welcome,” she said, not too enthusiastically, and kept a straight face when he muttered a “Thank You”.He sounded too tired, she would have to give him some time and space to recuperate,
The lake was calm, and the moonlight bounced off the surface of it, tall trees surrounded it, their reflection making dark sketchy designs on it. Crickets called in the dark and owls hooted, the flapping sound of wings and the cool breeze swooshing against the leaves blended to form a melody.He had never seen anything more serene in his entire life. For a moment he forgot his anguish, the pain and the anger inside of him quenched for a burning second of admiration as he took in his surroundings. His breath slowly steadied, and he sighed in relief, his raggedy pants silencing into even ones. This was all he needed to heal, nature. “Ava” he muttered into the darkness, never in a million years, would he have imagined her to do this to him. She seemed so pure, so innocent, so incapable of doing any wrong.Perhaps he had been in too much of a hurry to judge the book by its cover. He should have looked deeper down, and seen her content. Even using that to judge her would have been harde
Ava sluggishly walked into the office, she had had little to no sleep the previous night, and it was telling on her greatly. She rubbed her eyes and yawned sleepily, holding on to the rails on the stairs to steady herself. There was a strange energy in the air, but she shook it off and walked into her office.Collapsing on her seat, she rested her head on the desk and took slow deep breaths. Stress did it look so good on her.She had spent all the previous night at her and Mika's favorite spot, it was just the breath of fresh air she had needed.That was where she had seen him, alpha Damon, she wondered how he had found their spot and most importantly, why he was out there until such an ungodly hour of the night. Yes, she had taken a secret drive down to West Wood, but in her defense, all she wanted was the serenity that only that lakeside gave her.And so she had snuck out of the house and driven down to get what she wanted, serenity. To think straight without any form of distracti
The night was dark and stormy as the winds howled through the trees. The rain poured down, drenching everything in sight. It was a heavy one to be precise and in the midst of all these in Mistwood pack, Alpha Jude and Ava are seen on the bed entwined with each other. Her head rested perfectly on his chest as he played with her hair. Both were enjoying the night in their bedroom, the curtains were opened as they could see the heavy rain.Indulged in a conversation that got them laughing. “Do you know why I like you? It's because of your determination. The way you use your weakness as your motivation and not let anything bring you down or stop you from getting what you wanted to achieve, now look at how brave and strong you've turned to, and to top it all you are beautiful. I must say your fighting skills amaze me and so is your beauty,” Alpha Jude praised which got Ava all smiling.“I am deeply honored that you acknowledge me but we all know that I learned from the best which is you,
