Xander's pov
I sat in my office with my beta rambling....
"....nder??"
"Zander...??"
"Are you even listening"caleb asked me
"Yea I am" I replied absentmindedly
"So what's your answer??" he asked
I looked at him and tried searching all parts of my brain to answer him but no result.
He sighs and then said
"The vampires are holding a ball for their king in three months and we have been invited" he says a little annoyed but seriously.
The vampires aren't my favorite supernatural as you all know,vampires and werewolves are rivals,so I said to my second in command
"Why didn't you decline the invitation?you know very just how I despise king Lucian!"I roared at Caleb and he flinches but maintained his stoic position.
But he didn't seem to be affected by me instead he just sighs and looked at me.
"Zander we need to map out his kingdom in order to carry out our plan,the security would be really tight but we can try and maybe you could find your mate also man!" Caleb says
True, I'm one of the oldest man in werewolf books without a mate, I've traveled far in search of her when I was younger as a werewolf is supposed to find his or her mate at 16 but here I am at 121,I have given up on finding her,I will rule my kingdom alone.
I thought about what Caleb said and replied him
"Good point,in three months then" I said.
"Yea,you have a meeting with tenabris clan leader today at onyx club" caleb said
"Hmmm,if it's for a treaty,do well to tell them I can't have one with traitors like them!" I said.
"Alpha,I think you should go,she sounded really serious about this meeting"caleb said
"Hmm....fine then,tell gamma chase to get ready at 11 we're leaving" I said.
Avas pov.
It was evening already when we decided to go out and loosen up,I wasn't the type who waited for their mate because I didn't want one atleast not yet.
"So if you met mate now,you'd reject him??"asks celia
"Well depends Celia"I said
She sighs and asks "when do we get to join a pack Ava?we can't keep on like this,we need a pack..a pack that can pro....."
"Enough celia!! We don't need a pack,were good like this, we're happy, aren't you??" I said angrily
She whimpers and retreats to the back of my mind.
After dressing up for the club with my friends,we both wore same black skimpy bodycon dress and dark make-up with black thigh high heels,we went downstairs to meet Ryder who was wearing dark pants and a dress shirt and not to forget his signature bad boy look.
"Hey ladies you look stunning,mind if I steal you all for the night?" He said in a sultry manner
Aisha was the first to reply "well Ryder we Don't need a boy like you we'd rather go for real strong men" she said
Mia and I broke into fits of laughter,the look on Ryder's face was hilarious as he pouted
While in the car Celia kept disturbing me,she kept pacing at the back of my mind.
"Celia calm down,what is it?" I said
"Something's going to happen tonight Ava I can feel it" she said before retreating.
Well that was weird... I thought
"Hey Ava ready to get down tonight?" Mia says happily
"Sure am" I replied happily too
Aisha just smiled while she shook her head at us..
As werewolves we don't get high easily and that's why we decided to get down today, we're gonna get high and we're gonna get laid.
We danced and danced and danced until our legs felt really sore..I tried looking for Aisha knowing mia might have already left with someone and Ryder's probably still wooing girls to get into bed with him.i tried mind linking Aisha but I think she blocked me out. 'ugh... drinking is so bad'.
I was still dancing when I felt a really powerful aura from a really powerful werewolf..then I perceived the most tantalizing scent ever...
"Mate..."
"Mate" Celia kept shouting but I didn't want this now moon goddess I thought to her in my head.
"Well you got him now,go to mate" Celia said.
Buh I had other plans,I started running,till I was in the middle of the woods,I climbed up to a tree and tried mind linking Ryder.
"Ryder?" I said
"Hey Ava, where'd you go?" Ryder replied
"I..uhh..I'm out in the woods....uhm.....I think I'd be leaving from here...so yea I'd see you guys at home" I said
"Ok Ava,be safe,even if I Know you can take care of yourself" Ryder said
I jumped down from the tree and started walking,it wasn't up to 30 minutes when I heard rustling behind me.i already knew what that meant because I could smell their stench,at first it was one and I thought I could take him down before I smelt two more and I knew it was time to run.
'dear goddess..not again please' I thought
I didn't get far before I was tackled,I didn't want to shift,I was scared of shifting especially with my emotions running wild I couldn't afford to kill innocents because I couldn't control my emotions.
The rouge and his counterparts tried aiming for my neck..a quick kill..
Well I wasn't ready to become dinner to them,so I fought back.
"Ava let me help"Celia said
"No Celia,I can do this"I said
While fighting I noticed a figure leaning against a tree in d shadows,I blinked once,then twice but there wasn't anyone there.
'well in the middle of a fight,I had to see things,so great' I thought
"Ava let me help,let's finish them once and for all,give me control" Celia said while trying to push me back and take control
"No Celia,not right now"I said
"Fine then,just don't get hurt"she said
I fought harder and tried to run but I was pushed down to the ground.i felt my emotions spiralling and I felt my powers bubbling,my vision blurred I tried my hardest to control it but I couldn't and I screamed while releasing my energy...I saw the flames once again after 5 years but this time I am ready to accept who I am.
I watched them burn,the darkness inside me growing,I loved the feeling of watching them burn I was delighted,I couldn't feel guilty,I have unleashed my powers,I have let the darkness take over me. I succumbed to the other darkness calling me as I fell to the ground.
