Chapter 27
★★★★
ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Ava broke the hug and stared at his face.
"You ain't upset no more right?" She asked and he sighed.
"No"
"Thanks. I won't let him touch me anymore alright" She said and he nodded, making her smile.
"We haven't even eaten" She muttered rubbing her tummy.
"Go shower, I'd tell Gorya to make you something" He said and she nodded before going to the restroom.
He inhaled and exhaled before walking out of the room.
Ava took a shower and after some minutes, she came out with a towel tied around her body.
She went to the closet and brought out a black oversized T-shirt and a blue bum short.
She put them on and she walked out of the room heading downstairs.
She jumped down the stairs and did a flip with her hair before standing straight. She then tied her hair in a messy bun.
She walked to the dining table and Lucian gave her a look making her chuckle.
"I haven't done that in a while now" She said,
"Doesn't mean you should do it now"
"That's what it means hubby" She said and Gorya served her a plate of chicken then Lucian a glass of blood.
"Enjoy" He said and she nodded with a smile.
She started eating the chicken swinging her legs under the table..
"I made some new friends today" She said and Lucian frowned.
"Why?"
"They seem nice" She muttered.
"And when they spoke I didn't detect that they were lying except for two" She added.
"You'll have to end the friendship" He said and her eyes widened.
"No please. I like them, having friends is so cool"
"What if they find out you're a werewolf?" He asked and she gulped down the chicken she was eating.
"They won't" She said,
"I'd be careful" She added and he gave her a glare.
"I keep telling you not to believe in humans"
"Not all of them are like Thomas!!" She snapped and he sighed.
"Do whatever you want" He said and gulped down his glass of blood.
"They're cool though" She said and he scoffed before standing up.
She finished eating and looked back at the living room.
"Her house has a TV. Could you get one?" Ava asked, looking at him.
"Nope"
"Please hubby" She clasped her palms together.
"Gorya" He called and Gorya came immediately.
"Yes sirr?"
"Get me a TV" He said and she sped off.
"Adding please would have been nice" She said with a frown.
"You ain't even happy that I considered getting a TV" He said with a slight frown.
"I am happy but you should have said please" She said and Gorya sped back holding a giant TV.
"Awesome" Ava squealed and Gorya went to go and set it up in the living room.
"Thanks Gorya" She said and Gorya nodded before going to clear the table.
Ava looked back at Lucian expecting him to say thank you.
"Well?" She asked.
"You can go do whatever you wanna do with the TV" He said and she rolled her eyes.
"You should thank Gorya" She said and he frowned.
"Why should I?"
"Cos she helped you" She said,
"What's the job of a maid?" He asked.
"It doesn't matter if she's a maid, you're supposed to say thank you when she helps" She replied with a frown.
"And what if I don't?" He asked, raising a brow and she smirked.
"I won't give you peace of mind" She said and he scoffed before speeding upstairs.
She smiled and went to the TV, switching it on. Gorya came and handed her the remote.
"Thank you" She said as she collected it.
"My pleasure"
"But how does it work?" She asked and Gorya gave her the guide book.
"Thank you Gorya" Ava said with a smile and Gorya nodded before going.
She went to the bedroom and saw Lucian laying on the bed facing the other side.
She smirked and walked to him. She dragged the duvet from him and he sat up immediately.
She turned and started walking out.
"Where are you going with that?" He asked but she didn't reply.
She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
He rolled his eyes and laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.
~~
Ava laid on the couch and used the duvet to cover herself. She read the guide book for 3 minutes and she dropped the book. She carried the remote and turned facing the TV.
She powered it on and switched it to Nickelodeon. 'Make It Pop' was being displayed on the TV and she increased the volume to the extreme highest.
She closed her ears while watching and Gorya came to her.
"You need these" She said, referring to ear plugs.
Ava smiled and took it from her before thanking her.
She put it in her ear and smiled watching the show. She can hear what they're saying but it's not as loud as it was.
~~
Lucian covered his ears with his palms as the loud noise disturbed his ear drum.
He used the pillow to cover his ears but still, it was still loud.
"Ava" He muttered with gritted teeth and left the bed speeding downstairs.
He stood in front of her and she sat up.
"Reduce it" He said and she smiled before pushing him out of the way.
He frowned and switched off the TV from the socket.
"What was that for?" She asked.
"Why would you allow the volume of whatever you're watching to be extremely loud?!" He snapped.
"It wasn't loud for me" She said standing up and he just stared at her.
The ear plugs weren't in her ears anymore. Apparently when he muttered her name, she heard it and she knew he'd come so she quickly removed it and thrashed it before he came.
"Good night hubby" She said with a small smirk and carried the duvet before heading upstairs.
He sighed looking at the TV. He would have broken it but that meant he wasted his money and plus, he bought it for her so he just can't destroy it.
He sped upstairs and met her laying on the bed already. She was facing him but her eyes were closed.
He walked over to the bed and laid down using the duvet to cover himself as well.
Ava opened her eyes and smiled.
LATER THAT NIGHT ~~
Ava rolled on the bed pushing Lucian a little. He stared down at her with a slight frown.
She has been moving on the bed lately and it's stressing him out.
She suddenly put a leg on his chest and he groaned. She rolled again pushing him and this time around, he fell to the ground with a thud.
She opened her eyes and smiled a little before closing her eyes.
He stayed on the ground staring at the ceiling with a thought ringing in his head.
THE NEXT MORNING ~~ ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Ava yawned loudly, stretching her body on the bed. She rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly.
She sat up and stared around.
"Hubby?" She called and she heard a groan from him on the floor. She went to the side where he fell and she giggled.
"What happened hubby?" She asked and he sat up.
"Don't even ask" He muttered before getting up.
He stretched his bones before going to have a shower in the restroom.
'She's annoying, literally' he muttered in his head.
She giggled again and laid back down on the bed closing her eyes.
~~
She wanted to leave the mansion but a knife passed through her tummy.
She stopped on her tracks and he pulled it out of her, throwing it away.
The wound healed and she turned with tears in her eyes.
"I loved you!!" The lady yelled tears escaping her eyes.
"I loved you so fúcking much but this is what I get?!! Huh?!!!" She yelled again pushing him back by the chest.
He kept quiet and she sniffed before turning to leave only to see some vampires at the door already.
They held her and sped her away landing in a forest.
She broke out of their grip and one slashed her on the back. There were many so fighting them wouldn't be easy.
She hasn't mastered her powers yet but she was strong to at least kill some.
Vampires began super speeding, slashing her from different directions with their claws.
She fell to her knees as the excruciating pain struck her. She was bleeding badly and tears escaped her eyes.
Wondering why it's so painful? The vampires coat their claws with a poisonous venom called aconitine (derived from wolfsbane). Wolfsbane is a plant that causes harm to a werewolf.
'Let me take over' Her subconscious said and she nodded.
Her eyes glowed a bright shade of golden and she stood. Her claws grew longer, her wolf ears came out and her fangs grew longer and sharper.
She sped to them tearing each one of them. Within 30 seconds, ashes of the vampires could be seen in the air.
She went back to normal and she fell on her knees again.
She heard the guy coming and she pulled herself up before starting to run.
