Ava waded through the water for a few minutes before she climbed onto the dock to sit.She could not sleep throughout the previous night and had decided to come out to the lake for a swim.Something to help clear her head from the constant weight of thoughts.All she wanted was one day without having to overthink or even think anything at all.So she had gotten up earlier than usual for a swim, the lake was still, and the environment was serene and quiet except for the chirping of birds and the hum of insects.She was, still is, and will always be a lover of nature, something was intriguing about being in the wild.Ava would have preferred to go for a little hunt, but her wolf was not exactly ready for it just yet do she lay on the dork, bathing under the bright warm early morning sun.Deciding it was enough, she got dressed and walked back home. Contrary to what her wolf wanted, she wanted to be out, but Ava was not exactly in the mood to transform, so she walked instead.It was a lo
“What is this meeting about?” Princess asked as she sat on the dock beside him.He had sent a message to her as early as he could so they could meet and talk.Ava was not doing anything about the pregnancy, and he would rather find another way around things than let her keep that child.“We need to talk,” Alpha Jude said, turning to glance at her."I thought we already spoke about everything,” Princess asked, taking a seat beside him and turning a questioning look at him.“Yes, I thought so too.” Alpha Jude said, sighing exasperatedly, “But there has been a new development and all the other plans have to be changed to match the new situation.”Princess could tell from the look in his eyes that whatever development it was that he was talking about was hugeHe seemed mildly terrified, almost helpless, and she was mortified for him. She had never seen him this way, although there had not been much contact between them.In the short while she had made acquaintances with him, he had only e
Ava woke up earlier than usual, it was the morning of her routine hunt, and she liked leaving as early as possible, she was one of the believers of the 'early bird gets the worm' saying.Needing no routine preparation, she headed out of the house, not before downing a glass of water from the jug that sat beside her bed.It mildly tasted odd, but Ava brushed it off, she had not cleaned her mouth, so she blamed it on the possibility of it being her taste buds.There was nothing wrong with the water, it had not been there the previous night so she assumed one of the maids had kept it there for her, everyone was very remotely aware of her routine. Walking out of the room, she heard a slight clatter to her left and turned to stare at the shelf of antique items and books that she had collected a while back.It had been her hobby as of then, but just as quickly as she had jumped into it, she had also jumped right out.Everything looked fine, she thought as she walked out, perhaps it was jus
Alpha Jude slowly walked over to her bedside, carefully dropping the jug of water and a glass beside it. Ava had the habit of downing water immediately after she woke up, and he was banking on that. Hoping she did the same thing and not notice.Walking over to the shelf of antiques and books that she had stowed away a few years back out of the habit of throwing away hobbies just as fast as she started them.She had leisurely started collecting antiques and books, completely obsessed with them, but she had dropped it a while later He watched her sleep and was in awe at how peaceful and even more beautiful she looked. She stirred in her sleep, groaning softly, and he recoiled behind the shelf.Enough to not be seen, there was just enough space behind it for his lean figure, and he was grateful for that.He looked away when she yawned, fully aware that yawns are contagious, and that he would get caught if he yawned.It would be embarrassing for her to catch him in such a compromising p
Princess sighed in relief as she closed the door behind her. Glancing at the giant clock, she gasped at how far the time was already. Mist wood was a little far off, but she had not thought she would spend all that time on the road. Rushing into the bathroom, she got ready for work.The shower was a quick one, and soon she dashed out and walked to the dresser to get ready. She had pre-picked her dress and shoes for the day.Nothing too sexy, but just about the right amount to turn heads. Ava would be out of her way for the day, and she planned to shoot her shot, yet again.Hoping that this time it would work in her Favor, the princess slipped the black dress over her head and onto her lean body. It fitted perfectly like a glove, it was a knee-length black dress with just one sleeve, the thigh-high slit accentuating her long perfect legs. A smile spread over her lips as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror. She looked perfect in her books, and she hoped alpha Damon found her to
It had been a stressful week for Ava. Almost every day was stressful for her. What with her fainting the previous day and adamantly rejecting the day off that Alpha Damon gave her?It wasn't even close to the weekend, but she already felt so exhausted. She needed a break and a well-soothing one at that. The weekend felt so far away, but she would rather get this project over and done with.It was a busy day in the office as usual. The past few weeks had come with an increased workload, and a generous amount fell on her shoulders. She loathed Jude all over when she had that much of the work to do, silently cursing him in her mind.The only thing that was pushing her was the fact that as the workload increased, her work with alpha Damon was also coming to an end. A part of her was happy, but a part of her was also sad. After all, the baby was his, and no matter how much she tried to run away from him, there was something that would always remind her of him forever. It was something t
Ava sighed both in exhaustion and relief as she pushed the door to her room open and stepped in. Exhaustion because she had been out most of the day and relief be she was finally at home. Kicking off her shoes, she walked straight to the bed and collapsed on it, lying face up, her arms spread her feet dangled over the edge of the bed.Her eyes focused on the white ceiling as she got lost in thoughts. She was grateful for Mika, and even more grateful that she had appeared just when she needed her the most. The only friend Mist Wood had given her had been alpha Jude and now that they were not together she felt extremely alone sometimes, but she had learned from a long time ago to not dwell on the feeling.She had had other friends at West Wood too, not much though but a few, and they had also disappeared when alpha Damon got into the picture.No one wanted to be associated with the girl who got bullied, no one wanted to be friends with someone who was humiliated almost every day at sc
Alpha Damon watched her from where he sat, she looked just as beautiful as ever, except for the little bags under her eyes.She looked tired and spent, but she still wanted to be here, having rejected his offer of a few days off work.Perhaps he was mistaken for thinking she had stopped hating him, but seeing her work even when she looked spent like that showed him just how much she wanted to be done and out of his hair.He looked away when her eyes trailed towards him, he still felt very guilty about what happened between him and princess.Speaking of which, he had not even had the balls to discuss what happened between them, he did not even know how to go about it yet.He felt bad about what he did and tried to avoid the princess as much as he could. It all just felt like he cheated on Ava, even though they weren't together.Alpha Damon held back a smile when he saw her tired face morphing into a beautiful and dazzling smile when she turned to see Mika.They held each other tightly,
