Her possessive alpha
Chapter 21: TWENTY-ONE

Slapping sounds

Nani noticed her hesitation. "Is something the matter?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm not sure I wish to be joined to your master."

"But why?"

"Because I have a duty to fulfill, a duty to become mated to the moonlight pack's alpha and to become the moonlight Luna. If he didn't kidnap me, I would've been there fulfilling my duties by now, and I'm not here because I came to be joined to him, I'm here because he kidnapped me."

It all made sense to Nani now, no wonder he hadn't brought his mate home since the first day he saw her, she thought it strange that he'd been mated and yet no sign of his mate anywhere. So, master kidnapped her? She hadn't even realized it before. Master was always known for going all out for what he desired, but sometimes he took things too far, TOO far that she sometimes wondered why he did the things he did.

"I understand dear, I would've been mad if it were me too, but I'd like to ask you an honest question."

"What is it?"

"Asides from your duty and all the mate bond drama, what do you really want for yourself? What does your heart want?"

"What do I want?" Ava was not really sure if there was such a thing in the cards for her, she'd never been asked that question as all her life, she'd always been given the things the groomers thought would be most suitable for the pack's future Luna. But within her heart, she knew what she wanted, from the very first day she'd seen her mate, she knew what her heart wanted, but in her world, the one she was born in, the heart doesn't always get what it wants. The sooner she realized that, the better things would be for everyone.

"I don't know what I want for myself, I don't know what my heart wants," Ava finally said.

"Think about it dear, and as regards your decision, whether to return or to stay here, or to even start a new life of your own, let it be what you choose, what your heart wants."

"Thank you umm..." Ava then realized that she didn't even know this nice woman's name.

"Nani, Nani Rosalyn, I am the care taker of the dawn pack, and you can always come to me when you need anything. Always," informed her.

"Thank you, Nani Rosalyn," Ava flushed.

"But nonetheless, I still think you should save your relationship with the master, even though you don't want to be joined. He's your mate after all, and he's the only one who can determine if and when you'll be released from this place."

Her talk with Nani had distracted her from the real predicament she was in; she'd forgotten that she was here as a prisoner, her freedom taken from her, and now she was in this place surrounded completely with strangers, she didn't even know if Lucas had plans to kill her later.

"Oh, look at your food, it's almost stone cold by now," Nani chuckled reached for the tray and began uncovering the plates of food she'd brought for Ava.

"You must be hungry dear, dig in."

Ava almost wanted to politely refuse but the ravishing scent that came from the steamy plates made her change her mind. Nani handed her a spoon and she began to eat up the delicious chicken soup. Nani made sure to keep away the Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, and any other things werewolves were allergic to, she always knew what to serve her guests.

"When we're done...," she continued as Ava ate. "We'll go to see Lucas and try to sort things out. The master I know can forgive anything. He might appear as hard as a rock, but on the inside, he's as soft as a pillow."

This woman seemed to know an awful lot about Lucas. Who was she to him? She wondered, and the fact that this woman wasn't a werewolf didn't escape her at all. A human living with werewolves, this was the first time for her to see such occurrence in all her 18 years of existing on earth. Werewolves and humans never mixed.

Ava finished the contents in all the bowls. It was like Nani used magic when cooking, always knowing what to serve the hungry dawn werewolves even though she wasn't one of them. Never a day did her delicious food have to go to waste.

They continued their conversation with Ava giving her more information about her quarrel with Lucas and when some time passed, Nani stood up and they both began the journey to Lucas's bedroom to speak with him.

Ava had a view of the dawn pack house halls as she passed, this place was literally a mansion, the wolves that lived here must live like royalty she thought as she neared her mate's bedroom, this place made every other pack house look like garbage, including hers. Lucas had a whole quarter to himself, where there was a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and then a passage that leads to his bedroom, everywhere lined with exquisite furnishing. Upon entering his passage, Ava began to hear sounds, sounds that already told her what was going on his bedroom

**********

They were pounding sex sounds, Ava could make out the screams of a lady, Lucas's groan, and of course, the sound of skin slapping skin.

"AAAAALLLL-PPHHHAA L-L-LUUU-C-C-C-C-AS!!!!!" Came the female voice's scream.

She already knew what was happening inside but prayed that her ears would be deceiving her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, this is not a good time," Nani said as soon as they entered his chambers, noticing the sounds. She had no idea that master would be with his mistresses by now else she wouldn't have brought Ava here.

Nani grabbed her hand before she moved any more forward and tried taking her back to the door. But no, Ava didn't want to go, she wanted to see what was going on inside there. She knew what was going on already, but she wanted to see it with her eyes. Some part of her felt that if Lucas could hurt her, if she could see Lucas hurting her, then she would hate him, she even wished for her hatred to grow for him so the mate attraction would disappear and she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Yes, that's what she would do. She quickly yanked her hand free from Nani's and ran through the passage, and into the bedroom.

"Ava!" Nani called behind her but Ava was too fast for her, reaching the bedroom and barging in before she could grab her hand again. The sight before Ava shattered her heart into a million pieces.☐☐☐
