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
"I really didn't kill anyone. What is he saying?" I muffled, my eyes swam with tears as a sharp pang also hit my heart on recalling what my father had said earlier. He will turn me into a rogue. Which is equal to a death sentence. Even when I looked up at him with tears in my eyes, he wasn't moved a bit. My life was about to end as an Alpha daughter who turned into a rogue and was killed in the woods by random wolf hunters. It was all coming to an end in the most miserable way. I was dying without a mate or even my first shift. After passing through endless pain and agony, I was going to die with no moment of happiness in my life. It is more painful that my father would be the one to cause my death even when I did nothing. I killed no one! It would be bearable to have everyone hate you, but not your father. Seeing how he cared less about my life was the greatest torture my heart felt. His hatred for me knows no bounds, and the worst part was that he was treating Aurora nice. In m
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
The Lycan king rose from the bed and began to walk over to the door, forcing me into panic."Get on your knees." He whispered to me with a wink, and without wasting a second, I knelt, forcing myself to have a little hope in me.He opened the door and I could hear Jaden's footsteps with his omnious aura filling the whole room. My breath became shallow, but I tried hard to hide it all while bowing my head in fear."What is he doing here? Why are you punishing him?" Jaden inquired, and it was like I had been holding my breath all this time as I finally exhaled the mouthful of air in relief.All this time, I had the wrong idea. Jaden doesn't know what I have done."I caught him peeping into your room!" The king howled, pretending to be angry."What??! I don't get it...he was peeping on me when I was in my room. Why would he do that knowing how wrong it is!" Jaden frowned as he glowerwd at me."He refused to tell me why he was doing that! He adamantly refused to tell me!" The king growled,
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."
Ava's POV "I don't care. I won't sit back and watch you suffer. No!" Stan bawled, and I couldn't help the giggles that escaped my lips on hearing him say this. He just came to see me this evening and after some gists, he began to say all this like he was my knight in shining armor. "Will you disobey the Alpha just to help me?" I asked with raised brows, and there was silence as he took deep breaths, shutting his eyes and biting his lips. "You see, the last thing I ever want is to put anyone into trouble. I also like you and appreciate all your kindness, but there are things that are above our power!" I added and hugged him warmly. Just then, we heard a knock on the door, and that made him jump off of me in panic. I was also struck with fear that I couldn't even respond to the knock. It came again, harder. "Who is there?" I stuttered. "Open this door!" The voice of Eric came in, and a heavy sigh of relief escaped my lips. I walked over and opened the door only to see him carryin
"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
Nana's POV She was entirely out of my sight before I could finally get back to the lost world I had drifted into. This was so shocking to be real, and even as I tried shoving it away, it kept getting more vague for my brain to understand. Just as Jaden had become so interested at the mention of Ava and went ahead to ask who she was, that was the exact way it had happened a few minutes ago. Ava also had that same expression and questioned me about Jaden with too much enthusiasm. This shouldn't be what I am thinking. It can never be that they are fated in any way, because that would be a big shame to me. "Fuck!" I cursed under my breath, puffing and huffing. I didn't even know when I kicked the wooden chair in front of me, shattering it into pieces as jealousy stirred up to its peak inside me. "Why are you worried?" My wolf, Vena, had to chip in after seeing how flustered I was. "You won't understand!!" I yelled back, jumping on the bed with a deep grunt. "You are really disturbin
