The meeting
***THE NEXT MORNING***
To gain the trust of your alpha was a good thing, but it also had its own disadvantages; the main of
which was Lucas assigning Kiara on different tasks, not all of which were convenient for her. She’d
already done what he’d asked her before, making friends with Ava and helping her through her
transition, but now here he was giving her another duty, the one she could not refuse because it had
been assigned to her from the alpha of the dawn pack and not as Lucas, her ex-lover, and it was
because he held her in high regard. She felt honored of course, but did he really think it a good idea to
give her such responsibilities in such short time? Maybe he wanted her to use it to get her mind off
things, but she hadn’t mentioned anything about her depression to him, she sulked.
Today, she was to accompany Cian to the new camp set up by Filip and his men, they were to
deliver food supplies and herbs for the inhabitants of the camp, majority of whom were wounded,
seriously sick, or in vulnerable positions. Those blasted rogues were at it again; even though Alpha
Lucas had dealt with them severely, they still seemed to keep increasing in numbers and causing
ruckus everywhere. If they ever succeeded in overthrowing the leadership and claiming any of the
three strongest territories, Moonlight, Dawn or Black Skye, the remaining packs were finished.
She heard a gentle knock on her door which disrupted her thoughts.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Beta Cian, my lady.”
“Oh, come in Sir.”
Cian entered Kiara’s room, and bowed his head in a slightly polite manner, even though he had a
higher status than her, he was still a very humble gentle wolf. Kiara smiled and acknowledged his
gesture.
“I wanted to ask if you are ready, all the trucks have been loaded with the needed supplies, and we
are all set to go.”
“Of course, no use wasting any more time since we’ll spend the whole day travelling.”
“Ok now, let’s be on our way then.”
**********
Lucas and Ava lay on the bed, they were both sleeping before a knock on the door to the outer
chamber was heard, startling Lucas awake. He knew that for someone to wake him up like that, it had
to be an urgent matter. No one ever dares wake up their alpha for something irrelevant.
He looked down at the sleeping blonde whose hair was sprawled across his chest, she was in an
uncomfortable position but yet she still slept so soundly in his arms. He sighed, then lifted her head,
gently laying it back on the pillow and withdrawing from her to get up from the bed, throwing the sheets
over her to cover her body. He then went to his closet to put on his robe and then sat on the couch.
“Come in!”
Kiron entered the inner chamber, a bit shakily walking towards him.
“And be gentle with whatever you have to say,” he whispered, gesturing to Ava still on the bed. “My
mate is still sleeping.”
“Yes master,” Kiron whispered back.
“Apologies for interrupting master, but your presence is needed in the hall. The supreme
messenger is around, with a message to deliver to the alpha of the dawn pack.”
The supreme messenger? Of course, he already knew what it was for. It’s that time of the year
again, but still he ought to still go downstairs and acknowledge the fact that he had received the
message so the messenger could be on his way. The supreme council would want to know that he Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
received it.
“I’ll be down in a few minutes.”
“Thank you master,” Kiron bowed and then left.
**********
Ava had woken up, a while after she didn’t feel her head placed on that hard rock anymore. It was
now on something much softer; a pillow, she pouted, she didn’t want this soft and comfortable pillow,
she wanted that hard rock that made her neck twist and turn in different directions. She got up from the
bed, holding the sheets against her breasts, looking for her hard rock.
Where is Lucas? Had he gone down to breakfast without her? She wondered.
Maybe he’ll soon be back; now her body felt sticky, and she needed to take a proper bath after all
the food play last night. She’d taken a shower with him yesterday after dinner, but it was more of
shower sex than washing.
She decided to use his bathroom, since she’d been practically been sleeping here and she didn’t
want to be too far away from him, maybe she’d put it in the back of her mind to move in here with him
until the time she leaves.
**********
Lucas returned to the sound of the water running in his bathroom, he knew it would be Ava, and
the goddess knows how strong the urge was in him to go and join her in there, but he had other
pressing matters to attend to now, duties had come calling again. The supreme council, the leaders in
charge of the supernatural realm which contains werewolves, vampires and all living creatures had
summoned all the werewolf alphas to a meeting today, and he had to be there now. The messenger
arrived yesterday but wasn’t able to meet with Lucas when he came because he’d been out with Ava,
so he left to deliver the message to the moonlight pack before coming here today.
Lucas already knew what the meeting was about; he was always an important deciding factor
when it came to these meetings, that’s why it was paramount for him to be there.
