Over the next few months my health has greatly declined. I try to spend most of my time with my children trying to create memories to remember me by. The boys have been amazing not asking any questions since we moved here they love it here. Lillith has had some problems adjusting missing her father. I let Abel take her to see him once and he just shut the door in there face looking a mess. Lillith cried for days until she relalized she had a family here who loves her more than anything. She has one friend in the pack a warriors son, Jeremy. They play outside and started to train together. We are training them early so if anything happens she can defend herself. I don’t know how much longer I have my wolf is gone and my vampire is fading as I stopped feeding to allow myself to dies. Abel tries his best to help me deal with the pain but he can’t. He refused to leave when I sent the others to new covens. He said he wanted tobe here for me and my children.
Abel trains Josah and Adian as vampire while Matt helps train there wolves. They are all really strong as I help Lil learn her magic. The last few day I have been so sick and in so much pain.
I climb into bed and break down as I start to lose a lot of weight. I am sunken and pale. Abel stays with me at night scared that I will die in my sleep and my children will be the ones to find me.
“Ava please just feed off me you will feel better please.′ his voice pleads as I lay there barely able to breath. “It’s been months of you been getting worse. You children need there mother, please fight it.” Abel crying knowing I’ll be dead soon. The only reason I’m alive was because of my wolf and our mate bond. I am a runt naturally which mean I should’ve died a birth.
“Abel I have lived a life I wasn’t meant to even have. I was abused, found love, had my amazing children, lost my wolf , and now it’s time for me to die. I know things should be different but I was blessed with the life I had. I fell in love and had the best 3 years of my life but things were bound to end in my death. As long as my children have you and Matt they will be okay.” I say crying.
“Why can’t you just allow him to love you so you don’t die your children need you.” He pleads. Dominic has called every week since I left begging me to come home every time Matt refuses to let him speak to me and after he pushed away our daughter I will never allow her to feel that pain again. just like clock work Dominic called. For once I answer knowing it will be him
“Ava” I hear him broken.
“What do you need Dominic” I barely able to speak. Abel watches me and rubs my head.
“Ava please let me make things up to you. I’m sorry for what I did. I didn’t think I just made a mistake. I want you and our children home where you belong” his voice low.
“I can’t Dom. I loved you and our family more than myself now I must pay for that love. I say before Abel grabs the phone as I pass out tired.
“Dominic this is bad. She is dying fast. I can’t do anything to slow it down or to get her to drink blood. She’s ready to die. Her wolf ripped all life from her. The children know mommy will die soon.“Abel pleads barely able to hear. And after that I knock out.
Abel’s pov
Ava’s health is declining fast. I sent the children to spend the night with friends. I know she’ll pass tonight. She can barely stay awake or breath. I stay by her side day in and out. I can’t help but feel part of the blame for helping her meet Dominic. We could’ve been so happy together if she never met him. We would be the one’s with children and watching them grow up instead if her dying when her kids are only 3. I want to kill Dominic for doing this.
I watch her sleep as I rub her head as she nuzzles me like she used to. I climb in bed with her and lay her on my chest as she rolls into a ball. Matt comes in and smiles at the sight.
“You know when I first met Ava I thought she was your mate. I mean look at you two. You will do anything for her. Ava is a amazing person and mother. Her love is what’s killing her. I know it hurts for her to be like this without her wolf. She is a women who will die for those she loves and that is what she’s doing to allow her children to thrive. She doesn’t even realize once she’s gone they have no family left by blood. Lillith will be left with no one to help her study her magic.” His eyes fixed on her as her heart barely beats. I kiss her forehead as she looks at me with a slight smile, one that we haven’t seen in months unless it’s in front of the kids, and looks at me lovingly.
“I love you Abel.” her voice soft as she nuzzled back into me and she falls back asleep. Matt looks at her shocked as I smile.
“I love you too.” I rub her head as she sleeps. Matt gets up and faces the door when we both hear it.
“Don’t let her die, please.” Her wolf shot through the link. I look at her shocked and looked at matt who immediately called his mate to the room. They all watch her as she slowly gains color.
“Feed her. She is going to starve before I can help her.” as soon as I her Lyra I bite my hand and place it on her lips as she wakes eyes back to her bright purple with red form and bites down on me. She finally drinks for the first time since she ran off.
“Lyra how are you back/” I question in her link.
“I felt her dying and I can’t let her die she is me. We only have each other! The moon goddess has another mate for me. Once we are healthy we will find them.” I wait for her to finish but it’s nothing but silence. Ava release my arm an sits on me smiling at me and kisses me roughly. Shock is the only thing I feel.
“Mate!” Her eyes lock onto me before she nuzzles me purring.
“How?” I look at Matt who smiles at her fighting to live again.
“It seems the moon goddess gave her another chance at life. Maybe her work is not done. Enjoy finally having the girl man. I know how bad you wanted her over the years.” He smiles and walks out the room. I sit there looking at her tears streaming down doth our faces. Then I take a minute and realize the last 4 years she had proved I wasn’t what she wanted only Dominic was. I look at her before speaking.
“Don’t. Don’t even think like that. I know you want to say but what about Dom and how you knew how I liked being man handled. I don’t want to hear it. Abel even when Dom was my mate my wolf still slept with you remember. She was so upset that you didn’t want more of us. When I saw you kissing a girl when I went through my first heat I was so broken. Dom was there and I’m almost positive why my bond grabbed him. He wasn’t my true mate.” Ava says looking deep into my eyes, sighing at my own stupidity. If I didn’t f**k that up maybe her wolf would’ve had time to properly latch to a mate.
“I’m sorry for that. I wish I never did it. It wasn’t worth losing you and then seeing you with him everyday being loving and always f*****g it hurt. When you finally let me have you again I was so happy but then it dawned on me you were a queen and I shouldn’t do that to you.” I said looking back into her beautiful eyes. I kiss her gently and hear her laugh through our lips. I missed this. I missed her. She is finally mine.
“Well this queen and alpha loves you. Always have. Please take me.” And that’s what I did I made love to her, all night and the next day. I marked her almost instantly as she did to me. Two days later her body beginning to fill back out she sent for her children to come home. She hugs them all deeply crying knowing she can finally see her children grow up.
Ava’s pov
A few months have passed since me and Abel became mates. We spend everyday together helping around the pack. Abel cares so much for my children as if they were his own. I love this man more than anything in this world, well besides my children. I found out we were already having a baby a few weeks after we first mated. I got pregnant on the first go. My boys are so excited to welcome a baby, and lilith is happy she will have a baby sister.
My children will be amazing leaders. They have alpha blood and grand elders while this next one will be alpha and Regium, meaning the are from pure blood royal descent. I didn't know Abel was not only best friends with Dom but they are cousins. Abel is next in line for the coven if he had to. Though he said he never wants to take it so me and Doms children can have there rightful spot on the top.
Abel called everyone once he found out I was his mate including his parents and Dom's parents who I never met or heard of. They were excited but upset once they realized I was Doms mate first before he ruined it. They came a few days ago to meet our children and finally met me. Abel's parents are so sweet and caring. They didn't care that I am now a hybrid and so are my children there grand neice and nephew though they call them there grand babies. Dominic's parents were nice though reserved, upset that I wasn't a pure vampire. Having the same attitude with my children being born hybrids. They dismissed my daughter completely noticing she was different then the boys but Abel's parents spoil her instead. This is my life now. I have my true mate finally and my beautiful children, What more could a runt like me ask for?
The end
