Ava ~~~~
My eyes shimmered with unshed tears as I lurched deeper into the darkness. Frustration coursed through me as I reflected on my life. How fate had been treating me was becoming unbearable. I'm just a cursed girl with just a pretty face. No love, no family, no friends and no mate. All these thought crashed in my head and finally the tears rolled down my cheeks. I had been holding it for a long time, not wanting to allow myself look weak and dejected in front of him. One would wonder if I could cry in the form I was but I did and my wolf soaked it all in. At first, I thought he would see a new side of me after the clash but it seemed like I accelerated his hatred even more. He doesn't seem to have affection for me that at times I wonder if I was actually mated to him. I didn't even know why contracted me as his Luna. Although he rejected me, I had refused to accept the rejection because I thought he would be different from everyone. But what was I thinking, the ruthless Lycan who despised the werewolves to like me was impossible. I forced back another bream of tears that had already clustered my vision, letting the wind wash my furs as I raced magnificently to an unknown destination. I just wanted to stay far away from the pack. I wanted a lone moment for myself and my little brown wolf. It felt my emotions too, it was equally sad that the world has abandoned us to strive alone. Come to think of it, I haven't given her a name right? How could I not give my beautiful wolf a name. Right now, she was the only companion I had in the world. "Berry" I suggested within as I looked at her glittering dark yellows pupil. She let out a little growl, increasing her speed and I knew exactly that moment that she loved the name. My wolf was special. Normally, people got their first shift when they turned eighteen but it was a different case for me. My wolf had surfaced this very year when I was already twenty two and incredibly fast and swift. She halted on her track and I realized that we had stumbled upon the woods. This was the Lycans woods and mountain lions lived here. Fear cloned me as my eyes scrutinized everywhere. I couldn't hear a sound, only the chirping of insects and the dwindling grasses that collided amongst the other. The gigantic trees which stretched towards the sky and the wild grasses gave it a glorifying yet horrifying look. I could see clearly in the dark because of my wolf and as my eyes rampaged the area, my breathing became unstable. What if something happens to us, or the mountain lions comes here? My head panicked with unanswered questions. I didn't want to go back to the pack at all, I wanted to stay away from everyone so I pushed the thoughts away as my eyes searched for where I could lay down for the night and there finally, an oak tree stood in the middle of two other trees which had a small pond beside it. I advanced towards it quietly on tiptoes not wanting to awake even the smallest of ants as that would amount to huge problems for me. Gently, berry made a small clearing with her paws and we settled down then she retreated back to my mind as I shifted back to nature, naked under the shining crescent half moon. I drowned my legs into the pond, lifting my gaze to the sky as I undid the band tied to my hair ponytail. My ocean blue hair fell freely, cascading down to my waist and making me look like a mermaid under the bright half-moon which also shone on the trees casting their shadows on the ground and creating diverse shades of eerie glooms in the vicinity. My mind drifted to my younger days when I was still twelve. I had the best family ever, with my mom and dad taking me out on many occasions and celebrating my birthdays in Grand styles but all of that went down to the brink when mom died trying to protect me. Ever since then, my dad hated me and took in a new wife. When he grew tired of seeing me, he gave me off to the Alpha of Blood Moon pack because he knew I had a crush on him. I had always felt responsible for my mother's death. The memory of the very day she was ripped apart still replays frantically in my head. Her smiles and warm gestures was like a thread stitched to a torn dress. I missed her, although it's been a long time but I still had her in my memory. Ever since I turned thirteen, I lacked love and care that I had even forgotten what those words meant. I was barely hanging on a thin thread hoping that once I found my mate, he would fill those gaps of voidness yet everything turned even more sour. Now I wasn't ready to be weak, I was prepared for any misfortunes that laid out for me in the future, I would gladly thread to it. After all, I've been through much worse situation than anything that is likely to happen in the future. Suddenly my head began throbbing in pain, I ached my back to adjust my self to the tree I sat on, just then I felt the presence of something behind me. My heart beat began pounding quickly and fear pulsed through my veins. I didn't stand up as I couldn't conjure the morale to look back. I just sat there, slightly convulsing. My fists tightened as I dug my fingernails into my palms drawing out blood. But just that moment, it seemed like I made a terrible mistake as a sudden roar echoed loudly in the woods and just then my mind gave me only one answer; the mountain lions, run ! and without warning I shifted and soared high disappearing into the darkness in a radical speed. Unlike before, Berry was faster this time around, she knew that we were in danger. She raced past the wild grasses and some of the leaflets shrieked her limbs earning her wounds but she wasn't fazed as she kept racing. But just as were about to divert into an unknown narrow clearing in the woods, there the battalions dwelled; hundreds of mountain lions stood their sharp brown eyes piercing my own green ones. I shifted and dropped to the cold ground naked. I guess this was my very end '. The glint of hunger that swept through their eyes was unmistakable. I could feel my heart stop for a few moments as they circled around me, each wanting to get a bite of me before the other. Unanimously they roared and attacked me and I shut my eyes waiting for my end but just then, a mighty howl echoed through the shivering darkness and everything succumbed, I recognized the voice as I fluttered my lids open; it was none other than the Lycan himself. *** Pls kindly leave a review after reading, would go a long way in boosting my hope and as well bless me with your gems 😊Astra~~~~ Waves of panick spread through my chest the moment she busted out into the hollow darkness. Had I been too harsh on her, did I hurt her too much ? Different questions with no common answer plagued my head. The unsettling feeling I was getting was becoming unbearable. What if something happens to her, the night was too dangerous?. I saw the hurt and disappointment in her eyes earlier when I yelled at her. I wanted to go after her but I couldn't because if I left now, the pack would notice and everything might go wrong especially for her. Baal kept trying to take over, it wanted to go after his mate and protect her but I didn't let him and he became quite angry with me. I wasn't surprised because I knew how he felt. As I paced about in the room, suddenly a feeling washed over me; fear, horror. My heartbeat quickened as I felt those unwitting emotions. I could feel its terrified breathing and instantly it dawned on me, Ava !. In a swift moment without second thought
Ava~~~~The moments he saved me from the Lions, I felt worthy and valued. I thought my life was just going to end up getting eaten by Lions. "I guess you're really not afraid of the night " He snapped as he carried me up in his hands and began leaving the woods. "Let me go " I tried getting off his hands but he held me tighter. I smiled inwardly although he didn't notice. His cuddling was what I needed the most at the moment but I wanted to prove stubborn. Oh heavens knew how much I wanted this from him, I wanted to smooch in his embrace, I wanted to get cuddled by him. I wished this little moment of closeness between us lasts longer even though it meant nothing to him. ****Miriam had insisted on bathing me but I declined. I just wanted some time alone for myself since I couldn't do that in the woods earlier. Reluctantly she left and I skipped to the bathtub. I sank into the bathtub and let the water envelope my skin. I shut my eyes as the water cradled my body, soothing my musc
Ava~~~~ I felt a strange hand slid into my top gently. Its rough caress strange and irritating. I didn't know who those hands belonged to but I knew definitely that it wasn't the Alpha. I tried forcing my eyes open but it seemed like a band was tied to it making me unable to flutter my lids. I opened my mouth to scream but it only ended up in a faint and sultry tone. What was happening to me, where am I? I panicked trying to move my body as well but a cold hand held me down tightly and the other one that slid into my top, unhooked my bralets and shoved it down to my abdomen. "Shall we begin?" I heard a male voice asked, I couldn't recognise the voice but his scent and presence felt so familiar. "Pls be quick, Astra might notice?" I heard a female voice which I instantly recognized. Kalha ! My head spinned. What does she want to do with me, what have I done again? Why would this be happening at a time like this. My banded eyes already got wet. Right now, I wanted to
Astra' s POV Lycans are not bounded by the moon Goddess like werewolves. We're different and can control our instincts, choose any woman we want and extinct anyone we want at will. We are just primoridial creatures with no string guiding us but why? Why was the pain of her acceptance so deep like a shard of glass stuck into my heart? The pain was strangely excruciating, what kind of joke was the Moon Goddess trying to pull on me? Although I had not expected her to accept my rejection , yet the pain I felt that moment was immeasurable. Ever since the existence of the lycans, we had banned mating pulls from the Moon Goddess yet she keeps creating irresistible strings to our heart. Different thoughts scaled through my head as I slumped on the cushion at the far north- end of my room. No doubt I wanted her, she was the only one I felt the need to hold onto but just like the others, it faded into dust. Once more, i'm left all alone in the world. The creaking sound of the
Ava~~~ "Ava you have to run back to the pack right now" My mom's voice smeared through the silence. "Why mom but I wanna go hunting with you, or is it because I don't have a wolf yet" My face turned to pure sadness as I looked up at her. "Not that baby, I'm just protecting you, pls run back and tell your dad that the Lycans took me" "I love you" Mom said as she pecked my cheeks. Just then we heard a footstep approaching towards us and in just a swift moment, it dived towards us. Mom pushed me behind her as she stood bravely in front of the Intruder. "Hand her over Wendy" The voice spat out angrily but stubbornly my mom refused to adhere to his commands. "No , I won't do it, she doesn't belong to you " She obejected in defiance as she held me to herself tightly. "I do not want to hurt you Wendy, kindly give me the girl" He commanded this time around he took slow steps towards us. "I won't, you already killed my best friend so why do you want my little girl!" My Mom asked i
Ava~~~ "Do you now avoid me dear Luna" He asked as he approached, climbing the stairs gallantly towards me. No one between us has ever spoken about the incident that transpired in my room and I was not ready either but one thing I wanted to find out was why the little boy in my dream had the same name with the Alpha. Miriam had told me a little bit of why she gave me the deadly potion and I had forgiven her. If I were to be in her shoes, I would have done worse. Reaching to where I stood, he stopped and gazed at me for a while then his expression suddenly changed from smiles to a more serious one. His tall and muscular frame seemed to have slightly become even more sharp. "I'll be leaving the pack " He said, his gaze still stuck at mine. My heartbeats accelerated yet again. "Why?" I asked sharply, my voice etched with worry and fear. "Well let's say, I'm serving the punishment of almost murdering a family member" He cracked up with a sly grin plastering his cheek
Ava~~~ Days passed after the incident that happened with Lily and Beta Augus. Surprisingly, Lily had rejected him straight out which surprised everyone. I expected it to be the other way around but Lily took everyone by surprise by rejecting him with no good reason or maybe she was scared of the rejection coming from him. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection, I had become too thin, my ribcages was boldly visible accentuating my wide hips. Anyone who saw my body would think every food I ate only stored in my hips and butts. The other parts of my body looked like I was malnourished, well except for my face and slender legs. Who wouldn't get thinned with the numerous problem I face every day. I wore my panties and lacy bra. Opening the wardrobe, I took out a white straight gown which had red stripes across it and wore it then brushed my hair, and finally packed it into a ponytail. It's been five days since he left. I felt so lonely and hopeless every single
Ava~~~ "Strip" A familiar voice commanded. I turned and there Daemon stood, dead- seriousness clearly visible on his face. "I.. I thought" "You think I would be in writhing in pains right?" He cut me off "Well, thanks to your dear Alpha, he left me alive " He mocked coming closer towards me. "The Alpha King had summoned me so why are you here instead of him?" I suddenly became brave getting irritated by his irking attitude. "Let's say the King asked me to exert punishment to you in his stead, isn't that wonderful?" He asked as reached to where I stood grinning. "I guess your torn limbs is now okay " I retorted although in a mocking way. Anger flashed through his eyes as I said those words but he did well in hiding it. "I think I should take my leave now" I said turning and walking hastily towards the door. "Guess who'll be crying tonight" He asked and I halted still backing him. "That'll be you" He released and in a fleeting instant, the muscular built guards swam in t
