Chapter 96: NINETY-SIX
Chapter 96: NINETY-SIX
The new omega
“Ava Maynard, my dear mate, will you please rise and come forward?”
Ava was surprised as she heard her name. No one told her that she would have anything to do
with whatever that was happening tonight, but seeing as she’d already been called, she had no choice
but to answer. She stood up, walking slowly towards the stage, and putting her hand into Lucas’s hand
that was waiting to receive her.
“Three months ago, I was living the life that the one who cursed me intended for me; the life of a
lonely wolf, a painful existence that I was meant to die in, but all that changed when I met this woman
standing here, my mate. The one the moon goddess prepared for me. Ava Maynard, I am glad to have
you in my life, and its not just about the mate bond, the mate bond is nothing but a simple attraction, Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
but what I feel for you…. what I’ve always felt for you has been nothing short of love precious.”
Ava didn’t know when the tears started running down her face, she didn’t notice, neither did she
care.
“But It turns out that I’m not the only one who fell in love with you. The dawners love you Ava, and
we know that it might not compare to what you used to have, but we want you to be part of us, we want
you to be our omega, a new addition to our diverse kind, that is if you will accept to be sworn into our
pack.”
Ava began wiping the tears off… of course this was enough for her, it was even better than what
she had before, these people loved her, and now, there was no one left in her former pack for her to
give love to even if she wanted to return.
“I accept Alpha Lucas De’ Clan, I accept to be an omega of the dawn pack,” she muttered tearfully.
“In that case, welcome to your new home, Ava Maynard,” and with that he grabbed her in his arms
and kissed her in front of all the dawners. Oooohs and Aaaahs were shared amongst the dawners as
they all watched their alpha lock lips with his mate, they were all more than certain about one thing; this
was a union that no one could ever break.

***ONE MONTH LATER***
Ava held in her hand a bouquet of daisies as she followed Lucas into the Bandera cemetery. They
were both dressed in black clothing; she knows she does not have any business here, but she also
does not want to see her mate come here all by himself. Not now that she was now a permanent figure
in his life, he needs all the support he can get in this time of his life.
They walked past a few graves before they reached their destination at the far end. Two grave
stones, one small and one big laid beside each other, on the bigger stone inscribed boldly was his
former wife’s name, Amelia De’ Clan, the smaller one of course belonging to Bambi. And yes, today
marks the eleventh anniversary of their deaths.
“Thank you for coming here with me Ava, you didn’t have to do this you know.”
“It’s ok, I wanted to. At least now, you won’t have to be doing this on your own every year,” Ava
stated as she recalled how Nani who stopped visiting after the first two years, confessed that coming
here was too painful for her.
Lucas sighed. “This is the last time I will be coming here.”
Ava was surprised. “But why?”
He bent in front of their grave stones and then closed his eyes for a moment, before standing back
up to answer her question.
“I want to start a new beginning with you Ava, and I can’t do that if I keep holding onto the past, if I
keep remembering how hurt I was. I want to replace these dark, painful memories with fresh new ones,
with you.”
“Are you sure that is what you want?”
“Yes, Amelia and Bambi will be fine here now. I know they will.”
She held his hand and squeezed it tight in hers. “If you say so Lucas, if it’s your choice and if it’s
what will make you happy, then I support your decision all the way.”
“Thank you precious.”
“I’ll leave you alone with them for the last time now,” she muttered as she passed by him to drop
the daisies on Amelia’s grave. She’d picked these out herself from the packhouse garden, Lucas told
her how much Amelia loved daises when they were still together, she just hoped these would do.
After dropping the flowers, she kissed Lucas on the lips before saying, “take your time with them
dear, I’ll be waiting for you in the car.”
Lucas smiled and turned back to the gravestones, bending and touching the top of the stones one
by one before saying his last words to them, “thank you for being in my life, even if it was just for a little
while,” he picked up a daisy from Amelia’s grave and planted it on Bambi’s, smiling as fresh tears burst
from his eyes. All that was needed to do has been done, and Amelia and Bambi were in a better place
now, watching over him.
He turned to leave and follow behind Ava, calling her name as she exited before reuniting with her
so they could leave together. But they were not alone; someone sat on one of the trees, watching them
closely as they left, watching Alpha Lucas as he smiled with his mate. This person was not pleased at
all with what she was seeing, far from pleased at all.
YOU HAVE NOW REACHED THE END OF HER POSSESSIVE ALPHA: TALE OF A BROKEN
WOLF.
