"Shit," I cursed under my breath, looking away as I saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. "Wow, you really care for her so much. Well, the good news is that I came to her rescue earlier before they could succeed in raping her. I killed the one on top of her and warned the other to take care of Ava or I'd kill him and his family after making him get the smell of my Lycan scent. They didn't succeed in raping her. Don't get too angry." He crooned, displaying those sets of teeth in a smile, and that forced my cheeks to flush red in embarrassment. Fuck! He really got me. Even I am confused for having such a reaction to the news of her rape. It's not like I have anything to do with her. "Ava is fine. When are you going to meet her? The exquisite goddess in human form whose alluring beauty can make every man drool and desire her like his life," he drawled, grinning in glee, but all he said made me almost puke. "Get out of my room now before I kill you!" I ordered, and he nodded, smiling

Ava's POV Eric walked out of the room with an angry face and eyes glinting with hatred that told us clearly how much he wanted me dead if only he could do that. There was no doubt someone had appeared as my guardian angel that moment I was about to be raped, but the most annoying thing is that I got no chance to get a glimpse of him. It was so frustrating that I felt the greatest urge to slap myself hard till I passed out. Why the fuck did I pass out at the very moment when he walked in? If I had been conscious a little bit more, I would have seen the man who saved me and not only saved me but also coerced this guard to protect me now. I slumped back on the bed, processing what had just happened in my head. There was fear in the guard's eyes when he said that last statement, and I am very sure he wasn't talking about Stan. Stan was the head of the pack warriors, but he couldn't stop anyone from torturing or bullying me. He couldn't even let anyone know that he was having pity on

Carl's POV It was almost getting dark in the night when I stepped out of my room and crept to the door of Jaden's room. I knew it was wrong to peep on the prince, but I couldn't resist it. I needed to be sure if he actually has interest in Ava. I have to know if he thinks of her in anyway. Just as expected, the moment I peeked into his room through the key hole, I saw him. He was movihg to and fro in confusion, brooding in an unusual manner. My sharp ears could also catch the sound of his lips muttering the name, Ava, repeatedly. My lips curled into a smile as I saw it all and I almost laughed when he began to shake his head roughly in attempt to get her off his mind. For many years, I had been the prince's personal messenger, the one closest to him after his parents. I know him quite well, and that shaking of the head shows something was taking over his mind. Could it mean that the prince is thinking a lot about Ava? Wow... "What the hell are you peeping at!!" I heard an angry

Aurora's POVThe smile on my face couldn't just leave as I made my way to the Beta's house. I could feel the thump of excitement hitting inside my heart, forcing me to increase my pace. At some point, I found myself giggling. The fact that I still had the hope of destroying Ava couldn't stop making me feel giddy. I felt like dancing as my adrenaline flowed faster.Ava must think she is winning after seeing the Alpha treat me that way. For real, she must be feeling on top of the world now and has even got the courage to talk back to me. Now, I'll be fighting back in a way she never expected.After what seemed like eternity due to my eagerness, I was finally in front of the Beta's house, standing on the porch as I took deep breaths. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I overheard something that drew my attention."Mom, I love the Lycan prince and I hate Ava because he asked about her when I visited their kingdom with the Alpha. It just seemed like he was more interested in her."

"Go check for yourself in the palace. Isn't he your father?" A maid chimed in, replying in a mocking manner. She was just interested in reminding me how pathetic I am. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I made my way to the palace. The first thing that caught my attention as I drew closer was the Beta scent, which was lingering in the air. "What could bring the Beta to the palace at this time of the night?" I mused as I drew closer to the door. If everything in my life was normal, I should have opened the palace door and walked in, but hell no, I had no guts to do that, so I just had to eavesdrop. "You mean your parents left for hunting and you haven't heard from them till now? This is strange." I could hear my father speaking to someone in a tender voice. "I am scared, especially as I have no idea what happened to my parents." The voice of Nana came in, and I flinched at what she had just said. "Nothing will happen to them. They went hunting and might have faced a little p
