Drawn to him
Lucas might have stood up to honor Daryls speech, but then there was one thing hed settled in his heart then that wasnt going to do; give a speech of his own. Alpha Daryl wanted him to, but he didnt have anything in mind to say, this wasnt new for him, as mostly being one who hardly liked public gatherings, most of such announcements back at the dawn house were made the responsibility of the beta or gamma.
Lucas didnt need to say it out loud, but alpha Daryl had already gotten the message through his body language.
“Its okay, you can have your seat now, he whispered, deciding to make a new announcement in place of Lucass speech.
“Since there wont be a wedding tonight, I thought it best to instead bring you more good news about my engagement to a she-wolf that resides in this very pack.
An applause came next as this was news that the Daivie wolves were already anticipating. They already knew who the she-wolf was, because shed been spotted many times recently with alpha Daryl. It started off as rumors until it turned truth, but they all couldnt have been happier for their alphas new intended mate, the one who had lost her former, omega Stephanie.
“Are you waiting for me to call your name? Daryl beamed in her direction as she shyly stood up in answer to his question. She went to meet him where he stood at his table, before he took her hand in his.
Daryl then quieted the wolves down as he continued, Yes yes its all true. Stephanie and I have been seeing each other all those times we were together. Its funny how the goddess plans this whole mate stuff. I never expected it myself but I want you all to know that I love Stephanie very much, and I want you all to accept her as your Luna after our joining
It was a cheerful night, as many of the older wolves stayed behind to celebrate the new engagement. Ava was happy for the couple, but she had more things to worry about in her mind, so she left the dining hall early. Lucas may or may not have noticed her leaving, but she was thankful in her heart that he didnt follow. She needed time and space to process everything, including how she would be raising this child on her own. As now that all Daivie he-wolves were aware of who her real mate was, and because of Rians punishment, they would all do well to stay as far away from her as possible.
Now her options remained either to return to her mate, or remain a single mother, none of which she wanted. Ava has always wanted a home for her cubs, a home she didnt have because of her former duties. She was taken away from her parents way before the time she became aware of her name, she never met them, never knew who they were, what they looked like. They might have known her, but moonlight laws would never permit them to reveal themselves to her then. How she wished they had disobeyed for just once how she wished.
She was back in her room now, all alone, far from the noise. It was nice and quiet in her own space, but yet it felt as if she was still choked up, her thoughts, her uncertainties, her troubled heart wouldnt let her rest. She didnt know when she dropped to the ground and started crying. This was either the result of the normal mood swings pregnant wolves usually had, or the different emotions razing through her heart.
What was wrong with her? Why is it that after everything thats happened, after everything shes been through, Lucas De Clan still refuses to leave her alone?
Hes not here now, and shes not just talking about it being physically; he refuses to leave her head, her heart, her mind. He refuses to leave her alone. Right from the very first day they both mated. Ava has always been drawn to him, shes never imagined a life without him, and this failed wedding shed only agreed to Rian not just because of her child, but because shed thought that being with someone else, being joined to someone else would perhaps make this obsession of hers go away, but it doesnt the need for him keeps getting stronger, even with how distant she is from him. Ava keeps craving him, wanting him, with every second that passes
She cant hold it any longer she hated herself for what happened last night but yet, she wants more. Now more than ever, she doesnt care what anyone thinks. All she knows is that she wants that man, that man that calls himself Lucas she wants him here, right now, to be with her, she wants to be right beside him. Right. Now.
Lucas was beginning to have second thoughts regarding coming here; maybe he shouldnt have, maybe he should have just allowed Ava to move on and have a happy life without him, even though hed never be able to live with that.
What made him change his mind was the way shed dropped this morning. The healer had told him that it was as a result of the emotional stress on the pregnant she-wolf, the stress hed caused by coming back into her life. Hed managed to stay away from her for the entire day, with plans that hed go to her after dinner, but then he feared what would happen if Ava didnt take his presence well. The last thing he wanted was to cause more complications for her or even a miscarriage if things went wrong between them. His mind told him to leave, but then he doesnt want to. It wouldnt be fair if he came here to crash this wedding and then leave Ava all alone again.
Now his mind is confused on what to do; he cant keep remaining here as a guest, and he doesnt know the best time to approach Ava. He wants to take her home, he wants to give her and his child the best form of care any man could ever provide, he never wants to leave her alone again, but he doesnt know where to start from, or if shell even agree to go with him.
As he pondered, he heard a knock on his door then. It was far into the night, and he wasnt expecting any visitors. His mind was so occupied, he didnt think to ask before heading over to the door to open it up. Surprise surprise there she was, standing before him.
“Ava.
She didnt let him finish before digging her chest into his and shutting his mouth with her kiss like she knew just what he needed because at that moment, he grabbed her by the waist and kissed her back so passionately.
When they both tore away from the sudden contact panting, Ava spoke again
“I need you, Lucas.
“Ava I.
She shut him up with her finger. No dont say anything all I want for you to do now is to make love to me the way youve never done before. I want to feel every part of you tonight. Take me. Make me yours completely.”
