Still Like A Dream.
Ava's p.o.v.
Everything was just like a dream. How I wish this is real, I want to do everything I did in the dream with them for real, I want them to caress every part of my torso. I want them to hug and kiss me.
“Baby girl, Ava” someone dubbed me. I was jerked out from my thought when Oliver shout my name.
“Don't tell me you were thinking about them again?” she asked.
“No. I'm not” I fibbed to my best friend.
“Then, tell me. What are you thinking about?” I've been dubbing your name, but you seem to be far away from here, not until I screamed your name, did you answer me” she muttered?
“I'm thinking about something else, sister,” I told her.
“Ok. She said as she hoists her eyebrow. I won't force you if you feel it would be better not to tell me what the problem is.
“Thank you” I smile.
“We need to start dressing up for school, we don't want to be late,” she announced as she left the room.
After Oliver left my room, I went inside the bathroom to saturate.
We hurry with whatever we want to do, and we set out together to go to school. Everything is not the same as before, it was calm at school, no girls are drooling on any guy, I'm vague without them. “Where are they?” I wish I know more about them, it will be easier now for me to go find them.
I attended the class, I was only sitting, but I was far gone, my mind is not on what the teacher was teaching us, I was wondering what went wrong between us. Why did they leave?”.
The teacher finally left the class? It's time for lunch.
Oliver sigh and asked. “What's wrong with you, Ava?”
“Aha. Nothing” I answered back.
She raised her eyebrow,
“Nothing?” Are you sure?”
“Yes, I'm.
“Stop lying and enough of keeping something to yourself, I keep asking what was wrong, and you keep saying nothing is wrong, but you never listen to the teacher teaching throughout the class. Why are you doing this to yourself?” How many times, we have to talk about this?”
“Oliver, I'm alright. Just that, it still feels like a dream to me. Everything feels like a dream. The first time I set my eye on them, something stir inside me, I was eager to know and talk to them, I was surprised when both of them walks up to me to talk to me, Oliver, I was overjoyed when they talk to me, but when they say something about mate, rejection, and all, I feel a lot of pain stabs in my heart.
Everything was fine when they apologize, and we become friends, they even fight Lucas on my behalf. They both called me their queen, they told me they're mine, but what went wrong between us?” they left without saying goodbye. so, everything must be a dream. I was telling Oliver all this, she listens carefully to all my tirades.
“I'm sorry. I just can't control myself when it comes to them. I'm sorry, Oliver.
“What are you sorry about?” I understand you, Ava, I'm sorry I can't help you, I try tracking them, but everything feels like, I don't know, they just disappear without a trace” Oliver uttered.
“It's okay, Oliver, this is my aviation, Everything will be fine, I will be fine without them.

Back at the pack
Their p.o.v.
My eyes were heavy, why is everything not working out for us?” why did we not find a single clue despite the way we worked so hard? My eyes were heavy due to my lack of sleep, we work day and night, yet we find no single clue. Damnit. Why is this happening to us?” We missed her? We missed her so much, I wish she's here with us, we despise the fact that our father has so many enemies.
How's she?” Is she eating well?" Is she missing us the way we're missing her here?”
We keep wondering how she's. His Lucas not disturbing her?”
It's our duty to protect her, but now we fail to protect our pack, talk more of protecting her. Shit. This is getting out of hand. Our Lucan's keep nagging at us to go back and check on her, even if it's once, we're scared, we can't risk it, it can possibly lead to her demise since we don't know who was watching our moves now and then, everyone's a suspect since the spies are among us, in the pack. We don't want them to know about her whereabouts or her, being our mate. We must protect her until the end.
I wish everything goes according to our wishes. It has been a month now since we see our beautiful mate, we will try hard to find the spies in the pack.
Back in the dungeon.
Isabella's p.o.v.
I gradually opened my eyelid, I looked around my besiege, I am still in this damn cell napping on the cold floor. Father is too cruel, he locked me up, he's treating me like a criminal, I'm his only daughter for god's sake, Why is he treating me like this?” He won't even let me meet my mate, he won't let me see them. I despise him, I loathe him so much. I'm cold, my body is frosting here, I try to use my werewolf earshot to know how many guards are guarding me, but I couldn't, I could not feel my wolf also, I can't hear a single sound, it was silent like a graveyard.
Why can't I feel my wolf?” I got scared? What did they add to my food?” What did they feed me?' Did I lose my wolf?” I keep asking myself this over and over again.
I gulped continually due to fear, frostiness, and starvation. Why is father doing this to me?” Why?” am I not his daughter. Only daughter. I detest him, I hate him. He's no longer my father.
I stand on my toes when I hear a sound coming towards my cell.
“Who's that?” I asked.
“Hello?” I called out with a precarious voice, but no one conceded. The sound suddenly stops.
“Show yourself” I cried out. My heartbeat intensified. I got petrified. I winced and back off when my back knock the cold wall of the cell. The footstep abruptly moves again and eventually stops in the front of my cell.
My mind went into havoc when I saw a dark figure standing just outside the front of my dungeon.
“Who are you?” What do you want from me?” I asked, but no acknowledgment came.
Stop trying to scare me, show yourself now”.
Hehe hehe. I hear a dreadful, evil laugh.
I backed away to the alcove of the dungeon.
“Is it my father's enemies?” Are they here to get revenge on me?” I'm not the Lycan king, I'm just his daughter, No, his unwanted daughter he locked up into the cell.
“Oh… please, oh. ” I kept pleading with the unknown person.
The prison gate opened, and the figure entered into it, whosoever it is, he/she is walking towards me. I cuddled myself due to the fear I'm feeling. My wolf is not here.
I thought it will be hard to break you down, but I guess wrong. Making you feel scared like this, it's indeed a blessing. The unknown person finally speaks up.
His voice looks more manly.
“What do you want from me?” I asked the voice, I couldn't see his face because he's covering it.
“What do you want?” I'm not your enemies, I'm not the king, I'm just his unwanted daughter” I let out.
“What do I want?” And who told you, you're not my enemy, but the Lycan king, and can you give me whatever I want?” the voice asked.
“As long as you spear my life, I can give you whatever you desire” I answered back. Only if I have it.
Hehe hehe.
“You do have it. Little Isabella.
I was shocked, only sister Anna called me by that name. It's not my father's enemies but my rivals in love.
Yes, it's her, and I know exactly what she wants from me, I know why she's here.
“Don't think I will reject my mate for you, Anna,” I fired back at her.
I will never reject them, They're mine. No need to pretend again, I know it's you, Anna.
“Oops, it's not fun again, no need of concealing my face from you again since you already know who I'm” her voice comes out evil, but now clear. She removed whatever she used to disguise herself and her voice, I can see her now. Bitch.
“What do you want?” I hiss, getting infuriated by her presence.
“You know what I came here for. I want you to stay away from what's mine. Stay away from my mate” she howled at me.
I sneer.
