“Alpha Elias.” Dad said, standing up. “Hello Alpha John. Aren’t you going to introduce us?” Alpha Elias asked, still staring at me. “Ava, this is Alpha Elias of the Winter Storm pack. They are located about three hours away from here. Alpha Elias, this is my daughter Ava.” Dad introduced us. So Alpha Elias walked over to me and he extended his hand straight out so he could shake it. I slowly reached out and took his hand, and he clasped it really tight and placed his other hand over the top. “It is so nice to finally meet you.” Alpha Elias said, staring into my eyes. “I wish I could say the same.” I said. “Ava.” Dad warned. “Do you think you could let go of my hand before you cut off the circulation?” I asked. “Ava.” Dad warned again. Alpha Elias narrowed his eyes on me, not looking at dad once, and then started laughing. “Well, you are everything that your father said that you are.” He said. “Great. That doesn’t explain why you still have my hand in a vice grip.”
That night dad had made sure that everything was perfect in the house for Alpha Elias to come to dinner. He even told them to bring out the really expensive china and silverware. I hadn’t even seen this stuff before, and they didn’t look like they had been used very often. He even had one of the omega’s lay a dress out on my bed that he wanted me to wear that night, but I took one look at it and put it back in my closet. I wasn’t wearing that thing if my life depended on it. I had a shower before dinner and then I got dressed into black bra, a black long sleeved sheer top that showed off my midriff and tied up around my stomach, a black leather skirt and black knee high boots. Very different to the baby blue and white dress that he wanted me to wear. I wasn’t going to allow anyone to start telling me how to dress and how to act in front of other people. I don’t care if dad did hold this Alpha in high esteem. I am one person that this Alpha is going to have to get used to if he
As I was walking towards my room I heard Sandra talking in her room that she shares with dad, but I knew that she couldn’t be talking to dad because he was still downstairs. The door was open just a crack and I stood next to the door and saw Sandra pacing back and forth while she was on the phone. She sounded like she was crying. “What the hell was Elias doing here mom? He just showed up unannounced and invited himself into my home…I don’t care…you know what he did the last time I saw him…I can’t have him here ruining what I have now…I don’t care if John is a marriage of convenience for me and Elias can’t ruin that…he tried to force me to mate him…I don’t ever want to see that bastard again…you could have at least told me that he was here…I know that he got me mixed up with Isabella last time but do you remember how close he came to getting me instead of her?...I don’t care mom, keep him the fuck away from me.” Sandra hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. I snuck back to my
NOAH POV Jax got back to the hotel after his first day at playing guidance officer at Ava’s school and he actually looked pretty damn tired. “How did it go?” I asked, as he grabbed a beer from the fridge. “You know, being a guidance officer means they send all of the troubled kids to me so I can talk to them. That wasn’t part of the deal.” Jax complained. “Yeah. I know. But it was the closest way we could get to Ava.” I said. “I know that. But it still sucked. I had to listen to kids’ problems all day and most of it was bullshit. One girl came in with a problem that her mother wouldn’t let her wear mini skirts to school.” Jax said. “Let me guess. Was that Stella?” I asked. “How did you know that?” Jax asked as he sat on the couch. “Because I’ve been doing my own research on the kids at that school. Stella seems to be the only pain in the ass that Ava has had. Her and her friends.” I said. “Yeah, well. She didn’t mention Ava but if that’s the girl that she beat up, I d
I stood there staring at Elias on the other side of the door, glaring at him. Trying to control the growl that was about to rise up in my chest. “Oh please. Don’t start this again. Your mother told me to come here and try to make peace with you.” Elias said. “Since when do you listen to anything mom has to say? You tossed her aside the second she gave you an heir.” I said. “Yeah. But you’re not exactly the heir that I would have wanted. You always took her side and now you’re saying that you don’t want to take over the pack.” Elias said. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked. And he pushed past me and came into the hotel room. He saw Mason and Jax standing off to the side and he looked around at where we had been living. “Well that doesn’t surprise me. I don’t recall giving you two permission to leave the pack.” Elias said. “I gave them permission. As the future Alpha.” I said, still standing behind him and still holding the door open. “What are you doing here Noah
AVA POV The next day I went to meet Noah for lunch at a restaurant and he was already there waiting for me when I arrived. “Hi Ava. You look really nice today.” Noah said, standing up from the table when I arrived. “Thank you.” I said. He even pulled the chair out for me as I sat down. “I hope I’m not interfering too much with your busy schedule.” He said. “No. It’s fine. I’m just heading to dad’s office after this.” I said. “Oh yeah. How is all the Alpha training going?” “Well, at the moment he only has been familiarizing myself with the pack. Going through their files and all that crap. It’s pretty boring. Well, it was until late last night.” I said. “Why? What happened late last night?” I asked, curiously. “We were informed that a couple of people had gone missing. It’s a complete mystery. A young couple. They went out on a date but never came home.” I explained. “That is strange. What do you think it could mean?” He asked. “Who the hell knows? Maybe something
When I got to school the next day Wesley was still concerned about me. I wasn’t being as talkative as usual as we walked to my locker first. But he wasn’t trying to bring it up. “Oh look. It’s the happy couple.” Someone said, walking past us. And I didn’t even put my head up to look at who said it. “Alright. Now I know that something is really wrong with you.” Wesley said. “Why would dad invite that bastard to dinner? Why would they be friends now?” I asked. “Because that was a long time ago and they have obviously put it behind them.” He said. And I turned to look at him, so my face wasn’t buried in my locker anymore. “How could you put something like that behind you? He lost his daughter that night.” I said. “I know. But a lot can happen between then and now.” He said. “None of it makes sense.” I said. I closed my locker and we started walking towards Wesley’s locker when we saw Skylar, Sarah and Stella walking towards us. “I thought you would have been expelled by
As soon as I got to the office my dad was sitting at his desk and this time he didn’t have anyone else in there with him. I was surprised by that. “Where are the warriors who are looking for mom?” I asked as I sat down. “They checked in this morning. They don’t have any new leads. I think I might have to call them back in.” Dad said. “You’re giving up.” I said. “They can’t just keep looking aimlessly. I mean, this is a really big country to search. We need to find more concrete evidence.” Dad said. “Maybe I should go out there and look. I would probably have better luck.” I said. “Absolutely not. Not when we know that there are hunters out there. They will do anything to get their hands on an Alpha’s daughter.” He said. So I turned the computer on and I grabbed some files but instead of doing what I was meant to, I got on the dark web again. I put that photo of my mother tied to the chair on there with the caption ‘if anyone notices this location please let me know’.
