Her possessive alpha novel Chapter 72

　　Hurt

　　Ava laid there in that position, letting the tears run freely. Why had she said those words to him? And since when did it become a Luna’s duty to protect her alpha? She just said anything that came to her mind at that point, most of which didn’t make sense. She’d even lied that she was in love with Ray, when she knew the person her heart really beats for. But she didn’t choose any of this… she didn’t choose Lucas to be her mate, she didn’t choose to fall in love with him.

　　‘You didn’t choose Ray to be your betrothed either.’

　　‘Not now Layla, please not now.’

　　The sobs continued, she said terrible things to him he didn’t deserve at all, she asked herself the reason for saying those words, maybe its because her she didn’t want to accept the fact that she was in love with the man who abducted her, the man who wanted to change the course of her destiny she’d prepared her whole life for, she knew she couldn’t be Ray’s Luna anymore, but she ought to pay her last respects to him as Lucas had said, but with all she’d said today, one thing she wasn’t wrong about; she’s stayed here for too long.

　　She got up from the study and headed towards the direction to her room, the room she hasn’t slept in a long time, all because the warm feel of Lucas’s bed welcomes her more. She didn’t know why she came here, none of what was here belonged to her; the clothes, the fancy jewelry and accessories, the gifts, all came from Lucas, and she didn’t want to take anything back with her that reminded her of him. The only thing she carried on her neck was the moon necklace he gave her, maybe she would just hold on to that one for his sake.

　　She stripped off her clothes and changed into her wolf form, running as fast as she could out of her room, through the passages and out the back, towards the bushes that leads to the drawl forest, yes, she chose to take the short cut, letting her mind travel as Layla took her back home.

　　**********

　　Nani hummed a sad old wolf folksong as she took alpha Lucas’s breakfast to his bedroom, news always spread fast in the packhouse as those who’d overheard the argument wasted no time in spreading the news, everyone now knew that Ava was gone with no news of if she’s coming back or not. It was sad to see their heartbroken faces at breakfast today, she didn’t even say goodbye. She and the other servants had thrown away a lot of food today, the pack members, especially the ones close to Ava didn’t so much as touch their food, even Meeka couldn’t help the situation this time around.

　　The atmosphere was gloomy, even worse than the way it was before Ava came into their lives and as everyone expected, the alpha didn’t join them for breakfast this morning, he’d ordered that he shouldn’t be disturbed for days to come by anyone, and he shouldn’t be served any meals for now but of course, Nani wouldn’t hear of him starving himself to death, she is the pack’s care taker after all.

　　She reached the front of his chambers with the tray in her hands, the doors were guarded by two wolf guards who stopped her.

　　“The alpha has ordered that he’d be not disturbed Nani. We’re sorry.”
