Chapter 58: FIFTY-EIGHT

Brave Nani “Hey,” he smiled at her as he entered the bathroom, she was seated in the tub, bathing herself, her naked sexy slippery body had every inch of him throbbing.

She smiled back and reached out her arms, “come and join me.”

Of course, there was nothing he wanted more than that, he even wanted it more than her; to get in there with her and fuck her right there in the tub, continue from where they left off last night, but he couldn’t, he knew that if he gave into his desires now, he wouldn’t go to that meeting today.

“I’m sorry Ava, but I can’t.”

She frowned, “but why?”

“I have to go to somewhere important right now, the supreme messenger delivered a message from the supreme council this morning, I was supposed to see the messenger yesterday but I wasn’t around so he came today.”

The supreme council? They never called unless it was an urgent matter.

“What did they call for? Is there a problem?”

“No, I don’t think there is a problem at all, in fact they haven’t told us the reason for the meeting yet but I’m going there now to find out.”

“Ok, but shouldn’t you at least have a bath? I mean, you’re all dirty from yesterday’s run.”

“I will, but not in there with you, I’ll use the showers instead.”

Ava felt a bit disappointed, but she knew well enough as a future Luna that duties came first before any form of desires, duties she’d left behind to stay here. She watched him strip off his clothes and get into the transparent shower cubicle, turning on the waters through the tap. He didn’t waste too much time in there, as he was supposed to be at the meeting by now.

“When will you be back?” She asked as he came out from the cubicle with his dripping wet body, reaching for a towel on the rack.

“Maybe tonight, tomorrow, I don’t know, depending on how long the meeting takes.”

“So, you’ll leave me here till then? All alone?”

He chuckled.

“You’re not alone Ava, you have Nani, you have Kiara and you have the rest of the dawners to keep you company while I’m away. I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can. I’ll be back for you dear Ava.”

He walked slowly to her and bent, holding her face up and kissing her on the lips, he later realized he shouldn’t have done that, as his dick began pushing out the towel in front of it at the sight of her naked body beneath the tub water. It took every bit of manly strength in him to pull away from her lips.

Ava didn’t miss the sight of his erection; his reaction made her laugh a bit, at least she wasn’t the only one that would be affected by her mate’s absence.

Lucas went back to the bedroom closet to put on his clothes, before heading out to his vehicle to drive speedily to the venue of the meeting; the supreme council court, right in the heart of Bandera.

**********

Ava went back to her bedroom with a towel wrapped around her waist; she changed into a light jumpsuit for breakfast, but before she went down, she made sure to pack some of her clothes into Lucas’s bedroom, she knows she’ll be spending a lot of nights there later on, so she packed them so she wouldn’t need to be walking back to her room half naked every time Lucas ripped off her clothing.

After she was done, she went downstairs for breakfast, it was light and cheery as usual with the dawners, and let’s not forget about comedian Meeka who was there to deliver another outstanding performance. Breakfast went well, and then everyone departed after they’d eaten, but Ava stayed back to help Nani clear away the dishes since the servants had accompanied Cian and Kiara to the camps, and as she did so, she decided to ask a question to break the silence.

“Nani Rosalyn?”

“Yes dear?”

“There’s something that has been on my mind to ask, I hope you won’t be offended.”

“Oh, not at all dear, you can hardly find anything that can offend me, except of course, you start crying again,” she smiled.

Ava proceeded with the question.

“You’re a human, how is it that you’re able to live with so many wolves? Don’t mind my curiosity, I’ve just never heard of a human living with wolves with no possible fear of being eaten someday.”

Nani gave her a smile, they were done clearing the plates now, and then they settled at the kitchen table to rest and talk for a bit. Nani then asked her a question after they were seated.

“When you first met Alpha Lucas, you hated him right?”

“Yes,” she remembered how she hated him so much, and now all that hatred dissolved into nothing but pure admiration, after seeing all that he’s been through and with the way he cared for her.

Nani continued.

“But when you got to know him, you realized he wasn’t as bad as he appeared. That’s how it was for me and the wolves, I was frightened at first, I didn’t sleep for many nights, but I knew I’d never forgive myself if I left him the away Amelia and Bambi did, and now look, over the years I’ve grown to love the furry little creatures, every single one of them. Susan thought to ruin his life by giving him a life everyone thought was a lonely existence, but she was wrong; all she did was give him a new purpose, my poor Lucas, that witch truly meant to destroy him with the curse.”

Tears came to Nani’s eyes as she continued speaking, Ava held her hand in hers.

“I faced my fears and decided to remain here no matter what, I was scared of master at first but I made sure never to leave him, at first, I mostly saw Erasmus, but I knew my Lucas was still in there, fighting for his life, and look now, how many lives he has helped so far, maybe if I had left him then, he would have died a lonely death, exactly the way Susan wanted.”

Ava was touched, Nani was so selfless, no wonder Lucas held her very dearly, she stood by him, even during those dark times he’d lost everything.

“Thank the goddess he found a purpose, I’m grateful he found something worth living for, and he does have another chance of true love, of meeting a she-wolf that will take away the former pain and give him the happy life he once had, but since you have your duties to fulfill dear, there’s no worry.

Lucas won’t keep you for long here, he’s never forced any woman to be with him; that I can assure you.

The only favor I’m asking of you now is to please make him happy for a while, so he can at least move on with the rejection when you go.”

He truly never has forced anyone to be with him, that’s why he let her go that day of the incident.

What Nani doesn’t know now is that the only reason she is still here is because she chose to stay on her own accord.
