Warm friendship
Cian brushed off her statement, taking a seat beside Kiara and Nani on the opposite log, “no need to thank us dear, we did nothing.”
“Of course, there is every need for me to be grateful to you; you guys took a bold step by coming here even after finding out what I did. I don’t deserve any of this after what happened,” she mumbled sadly.
“Ava…” Kiara then got up and went to sit beside her, taking her hand. “Don’t say any of that, don’t punish yourself for what happened. We saw everything, and I for one, didn’t believe any of it. I know you’d never do anything to hurt your mate like that.”
Cian nodded, “I didn’t believe any of it too, it beats me that Lucas couldn’t see right through it.”
Nani joined her voice, “… because he’s not in his right mind… I too have no idea of what happened today, but one thing I AM certain of is that something is definitely not right. I have some findings, but I won’t let anyone know about my suspicions until I have enough evidence, its too early to jump into conclusions, but for now the only thing that most important is that Ava needs a place to stay; we can’t leave her out here alone in these words.”
“I’m already on that,” Cian stated. “I’ve prepared a truck to head to one of the refugee camps with supplies tonight, Kiara and I will take Ava there, she can stay in the camps until we figure out what’s going on, she’ll be safe there for now. I agree with Nani that what happened today was not ordinary, especially with the way Ray died.”
Ava’s eyes lit up with surprise then, “Ray died?”
“You didn’t know?”
Nani decided to inform her, “Oh, I’m sorry dear, everyone’s been so caught up in the drama that no one even thought to mention it to you. He bled to death right after the struggle with your mate.”
Ava didn’t know why, but upon hearing those words, she felt a sudden pang of pain in her chest.

Kain entered into the alpha’s chambers right after he was called. “Yes sire,” he answered.
Alpha Lucas began, “Ray Devlin, I sent for him to be taken to the healer’s quarters, has he been treated?”
“Um… about that sire, the healer said to inform you that he didn’t make it.”
He frowned. “What do you mean he didn’t make it?”
“He died sire.”
A moment of silence, like he was thinking of what to say next, and then, “I see…. Um… did the healer mention the cause of his death?”
“He bled to death sire, the healer also mentioned something about him having a problem with his heart before now.”
Another moment of silence, longer this time. Kain didn’t need anyone to see that Lucas regretted his actions, the alpha tried to hide it but it was a clearly visible expression, it took a while for him to be able speak to his guard again.
“You may be dismissed. See to it that he is given a proper burial.”
Kain bowed, before leaving, “yes sire.”

Sabrina stormed into her room, anger raging within every inch of her.
“That bastard! He dares to send me out like this, after all I’ve done for him; after letting him see his mate for who she truly is!”
She opened her drawer and brought out one of her love potions, at least she doesn’t have to bother about her spells being broken anymore since she’s gotten rid of Ava, she’s also made certain that Ava will never dare to return to the dawn territory again, a perfect plan b, she thought evilly.
Sabrina then drank the whole content in the bottle, regretting that she didn’t use the potion before going into his chambers. Of course, he’ll never sleep with her in his right mind, even after what his mate did. He still refuses to cheat on her, such a loyal bastard.
But not to worry, that so-called faithfulness he shows towards her, she’s about to shatter it using her sexual enchantments, she’s about to make it all crumble to the ground. She opened her wardrobe and brought out the sexiest red lingerie she could find in her closet. She grinned as she put it on; looking into the mirror before tying a robe over it. “Now I will finally begin my revenge on you, Rabbi Sinclair.”

It was nighttime, but Lucas feared going to sleep, he knew what to expect of course, as sleep was out of the question for him right now, keeping awake was better than revisiting those nightmares. He just stood in front of the window, watching the beautiful moon’s crescent, before he began to whisper some words to himself, or rather, to the goddess that inhabited the moon.
“I thought this life you’d given me would be a second chance, I thought you had great plans for Ava and I……. Why then did you have to create something so beautiful, only to have to watch it shatter into pieces? Why?”
He didn’t know when tears began to roll down his eyes, neither did he care.
“Why…?”
Just then, he heard the door creak, Lucas turned to see Sabrina enter into his inner chambers. He rolled his eyes. Why won’t she quit? What did she want this time?
He wasted no time in asking, “what do you want Sabrina?”
Sabrina took slow seductive steps towards him, taking off her silk robe before answering. “I came to pleasure you Lucas, I came to make you forget about all that happened today.”
As she approached him in the dark room, he got a clear view of what she was wearing with the help of the moon’s light shining through the window. It was a see-through lingerie which gave perfect view of her round curves and her hardened nipples, as well as her clit. A sudden fear arose in his heart then.
“Sabrina…”
She reached him, and began to run her hand down his chest slowly, making him take a few steps backwards, until the back of his knees hit the nearby chair, before pushing him to sit.
“Sabrina… I can’t do this…”
She grinned, kneeling in front of him and unzipping his pants, “you can… and you will.”
