Chapter 23: TWENTY-THREE


    Escape n


    Ava got up from the bed, dried-up tears lined her eyes. She’d slept off and she cried her eyes out


    before she did. Looking around the room; she spotted a tray on the table. Nani had probably left her


    food after noticing she had slept. She recalled the reason why she had been crying in the first ce,


    and if it weren’t for the terrible headache raging her head right now, she would have resumed weeping.


    ‘La!’ She called. It had been a while since she spoke with her wolf, there’s just been so much


    going ontely.


    La responded.


    ‘I’m so sorry for what happened Ava, I should’ve detected them on time, probably when Nicole was


    still in your room.’


    ‘It’s fine dear, it wasn’t your fault.’ It was neither of their fault. The only person who was at fault, the


    only person who was to me for all this was the person who abducted her and brought her here, she


    still didn’t even know what ns he had for her but she wasn’t going to wait here to find out. The


    thought to escape hadn’te to her before until now, and after all she had experienced, she wanted


    to be anywhere else in the world but this ce.


    ‘Do you think we can leave? Do you think you can make it out of here undetected?’ She asked her.


    Ava wanted to know if La could sneak them out of here, La’s wolf form was much smaller than


    her human form and harder to spot in the night, therefore easier to escape.


    ‘I can try.’


    ‘Ok then,’ she got down from the bed, stripped off her clothes, bent and took her wolf form. La’s


    nose then twitched and smelled the aroma from the food on the table, she wanted some.


    ‘Not now La!’ Ava cautioned. This was a time to escape and not to be filling their stomachs.


    “Fine,” La grunted left the food.


    Her wolf walked on four legs to the door. Shit, she forgot to turn the knob before shifting. She


    made La reach up and turn the knob with great difficulty, the wolf struggled with her two paws and


    then her teeth but she did it. Walking with four hairy feet through the door and into the halls, she


    spotted a few wolf guards passing by and hid in a corner, letting them pass before she continued.


    She strode further until she passed different halls, the courtyard and reached the exit, and then the


    big gates. If she were in her human form, she would have probably noticed the security system but


    poor wolf La didn’t notice until passing the barrier, and as she passed, her feet touching the ground


    triggered loud sirens that began ringing through the entire packhouse.


    Why would he enable a security system in a goddamn pack house? What did he need it for when


    there were wolf guards all around? She wondered, but now she’d been caught, she needed to run fast


    before the guards came for her; but it was toote. They’d all taken their wolf forms and surrounded the


    poor defenseless creature, there was no way she could stand against them all.

    “How smart do you think you are precious? What kind of wolf kidnaps his mate and makes it easy


    for her to escape?”


    Ava knelt in chains in Lucas’s bedroom, she was still naked after shifting back to her human state,


    the guards she struggled with had brought her here after she was caught.


    “I still don’t understand why you keep me here Lucas, after all you derive your pleasures from


    somewhere else, what then do you need me for?”


    Lucas let out a chuckle hearing the sound of her jealousy, he came closer to her until he was on


    eye level with her, and then answered her question.


    “You are here Ava, because you are my mate, and you are meant to be here. If you didn’t


    misbehave, you would have been the one giving me pleasure,” he whispered seductively, his eyes


    snaked down to her breasts. “You would have been the one screaming my name in my bedroom that


    day.”


    “Well, in that case, I’m d I misbehaved,” she answered with so much courage written in her


    eyes.

    Ava didn’t miss the scowl on his face upon hearing her words. She was d she made him angry,


    serves him right, she thought.


    This girl was too bold, just too bold. “You’ve been very bad Ava, first you cheat on me, giving


    another man my property, something that belongs to me, and now you try to escape from me, after


    causing me pain, you choose to leave me alone in this state.”


    Ava didn’t respond, she just stared at him squarely.


    “I’m not going to leave you alone this time, you won’t be spared. I will teach you to behave yourself


    since you refuse to do so. You should’ve have been happy I didn’t kill you since death was what you


    asked for. Instead, I left you alone and then you try to escape from me, you try to make me search for


    you again. I am going to punish you this time around Ava.”


    He reached forward and grabbed her left breast in his hand, squeezing it in his ws with so much


    force she winced knowing that was going to leave a mark, but refused to let it show on her face. She


    would not give him the pleasure of seeing how much pain he caused her.


    He continued whispering, locking her gaze with his big blue eyes. “I am going to starve you, Ava. I


    am going to deprive you of the one thing your heart beats for, and I am going to give you the least of


    the things you desire in its ce.”


    Ava’s heart started quickening, why was he speaking in parables? What did he mean by what he


    said? What was he going to do to her now? No doubt she was in for a whole lot tonight.


    Lucas let go of her breast and turned his back on her.


    “Kiron!” he called, his voice radiating nothing short of dominance.


    “Yes master,” the trembling guard walked into the room bowing.


    “Call Vivian and Ria.”
