Chapter 32
★★★★
THE NEXT MORNING ~~ ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
Lucian was sitting at the dining room when a knock sounded on the door.
It was the guard who knocked. He already knew Rina was outside with the guard.
"Let her in" He muttered and Rina came in.
He stood facing her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Some werewolves attacked the clan today but I and the vampires killed them" She said and Lucian frowned.
"How did they find this place?"
"It's Ava who told them" She said.
"She was with me throughout yesterday" He said and she scoffed.
Ava yawned rolling on the bed. She opened her eyes and looked around before sitting up.
"Why am I in the room?" She thought out loud.
'He took you here. Obviously' Her subconscious said and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever" She muttered and then she heard Rina's voice from downstairs.
She opened the door stylishly and listened to what she was saying.
"Why did you still marry her when you know who she is?" Rina asked.
"None of your business"
"You know I love you Lucian but you still went ahead to get married to her. That's not fair" She said angrily.
"I don't love you Rina. I don't do love" He said.
"Then why the heck did you marry her?"
"I owe you no explanation" He said with a frown and she blew out air from her mouth.
"Okay fine. But you haven't mated with her right?" She asked and he just stared at her.
Ava smirked and rushed to Lucian's closet. She brought out his T-shirt. She took off her clothes and wore his shirt which stopped at her mid thigh. She scattered her hair with her hands before leaving the room.
"If I did, what happened?" He asked and she frowned.
"She'll be the one to kill you why can't you just listen!!" She yelled and Ava frowned before walking downstairs.
"I can't kill my hubby" She said with a smile and Rina stared at her with a confused look.
Ava walked to Lucian and put an arm on his shoulder.
"What's she doing here?" Ava asked him.
"She came to disrupt my peace" He muttered and Ava looked at Rina.
"Why the hell does she look like that?" She asked Lucian and he let out a small smirk.
"No" She muttered stepping back.
"Don't tell me you guys....."
"Yeah we did. What you gonna do about it?" Ava cut in and Rina's eyes turned red.
"No!!!" She yelled and sped to her.
Ava's eyes glowed and she kicked her backwards. She flew out of the house due to the force of the kick.
"Guards. Take her out of here" She told them and they looked at Lucian whom nodded.
They carried Rina up before throwing her out of the castle and then they locked the gate.
She stood and ran to the gate..
"Lucian!!! Let me in!!!! Luciannn!!!!!" She screamed and the guards turned to her.
"Leave Rina" Yuki said.
"No"
"Ava is stronger than before Rina. I suggest you leave now else you'd leave with a broken body part" Zuko said.
"It's not possible" Rina said with a smirk.
"Did you forget she's thé fàted lunã?" Gorya asked walking to the gate.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Lucian is the only one that can kill her. Fighting her is futile so go home" She said and Rina chuckled.
"I'll make sure he kills her himself" She said with a smirk.
"Even if he wants to, he can't do it" Gorya said and let out a smirk before leaving.
Rina bit her lips and looked back at the guards who gave her a mocking smile.
She rolled her eyes and sped away.
~~
Lucian spoke with the guards to tell everyone in the city to get ready to leave tonight and they sped off going to deliver the news.
He sped back into the castle and went to the terrace having a frown on his face.
Ava went to shower and now she's out wearing a black cropped hoodie and a black short skirt. She was in front of the mirror drying her hair.
"You really made her jealous" Lucian said from the terrace and she let out a chuckle.
"I'm glad I did" She said and used a comb to brush her hair.
Lucian showered already so he's waiting for her to finish.
She packed part of her hair and let some fall behind. She brought out two strands of hair in front and she smiled before facing him.
"Let's go and please be on your best behavior" She said and he turned the side of his face to her.
"That's if I don't see anyone of them" He said and she sighed.
He stood straight and walked to her.
"Let's go" He said and she nodded. They both left the room heading downstairs. They settled down at the dining table and Gorya served breakfast which they ate. After some minutes, they were out of the castle.
He held her hand and sped them out of Garberville. They arrived at the city and Ava sighed.
"I'm gonna miss it" She muttered.
"I won't. Let's move" He said and she scoffed as they walked into it.
MERLIN'S RESTAURANT ~~ CALIFORNIA
Ava pushed opened the door and Merlin greeted her with a smile.
"Can we talk please ma'am?" She asked and Merlin nodded.
"Let's go to my office" Merlin said and they both walked in.
"So what is the matter?" She asked and Ava bit her lips.
"I want to quit" Ava said and Merlin's eyes widened for a second.
"Why?"
"We're moving out of the city" Lucian said and she looked at him before smiling.
"For your honeymoon yeah?" She asked and Ava bit her lips.
"Well..."
"Yes" Lucian cut in and Ava smiled.
"Okay when you return, make sure you visit me alright, even though you won't come back to work" Merlin said and Ava smiled a little.
"I'm sorry for leaving"
"There's no problem. I enjoyed your stay here" Merlin said and Ava smiled coming to hug her.
Merlin stood and welcomed the hug with a smile.
"I'll miss you"
"Me too" Ava said and broke the hug.
"Bye now" She waved and Ava smiled sadly.
She looked at Lucian and blinked back her tears before walking out of the restaurant.
Her gaze darkened when she saw Chloe coming in. Her broken hand was bandaged already. Chloe stopped walking immediately.
