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,
Glancing at the phone, alpha Jude fumed that she still had not replied to his texts. It was almost two days since they had planned and executed, and he had hoped for positive results by now.She had not replied to his last few messages, and he could tell that for some reason she was still hoarding the pictures and had not shown them to Alpha Damon yet.Alpha Jude wondered why she would do that, they had seemed perfectly aligned, and she seemed to have wanted the same things as him earlier, so it was strange that she had not completed her part yet. He fumed inwardly at the thought that she was delaying their plan and his chances of having Ava back.The longer they spent beating about the bush, the more likely she was to tell him about the pregnancy and render his efforts useless.Taking out his phone for the umpteenth time, he texted her again, he had never called her and did not want to start so he decided to stick to texting. Going back to work, he willed his thoughts away from bot
Alpha Damon was engrossed in his work, his eyes scanning the ledger that Will had brought in a while ago, he could spot some errors and he did not like it. Whoever entered this particular ledger either had something fishy going on, or perhaps just made honest mistakes.A subtle “hi” startled him from his work and he lifted his eyes to see Princess.“Hi Princess, I did not hear you come in, how long have you been standing there.” He had honestly not heard her enter and most certainly did not see her standing there, that was why he asked.“A while, you were so focused I would rather not distract you,” she said with a smile. But you just did, alpha Damon thought, holding back an eye roll. His eyes popped out of their sock eats when she leaned over his desk, her boobs practically pouring out of her dress.They looked perfect, a little too perfect to be natural, but he brushed that aside. They still looked very attractive, and he forced his gaze was from them, swallowing loudly.His eyes
