AVA's POV"Ah ah. No peeking.." Amy teased as she spun my chair around facing the mirror. "I'm not," I say, keeping my eyes shut as she instructed me to.A soft giggle left her lips, making me arch my lips up to a small smile. I wonder what she got in store for me once I open my eyes.."Now open," She tells me excitedly.I open my eyes and gasp at the sight of me in the bloody mirror. My long, platinum blonde hair cascaded down my stomach with thick, large curls. Amy had parted my hair in the middle of my scalp, giving me long, styled curtain bangs which perfectly accentuated my already small face. I blinked noticing how she magically emphasized my large eyes with purple eyeshadow and thick mascara. Eyebrows perfectly shaded and arched, and lips painted nude giving me that simple but elegantly stunning look."Oh Amy, you're a genius!" I squealed, turning around and practically throwing myself onto her slender body, jumping up and down in excitement I could barely hide."Careful Ava,
AXEL'S POVThe moment she appeared at the top of the staircase, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She looks just as pretty as I imagined her to be in a dress. She never wore one at school, so I pretty much just imagined what she would look like in one. When I asked pictures of her wearing a dress just to tease her, she shrugged and told me she'd thrown or burned it all. Thus, adding to my curiosity. My heart raced almost immediately when I saw her. That smoking hot body, with a curvy waist, and a beautiful, heart-shaped ass. I groaned feeling the heat rise within my body the longer I stared at Ava. I can't help but notice how all those weeks she spent working out paid off tremendously, at least giving her a curvier figure. Her face slimmed a little, too. But that only made her even more beautiful than she already was. Once she reached the bottom of the stairs, I let my eyes scan her from head to toe. She was wearing a long, purple, off shoulder evening dress with a side slit running
AVA's POV:My heart thumped a thousand times faster than I wanted it to be. He was holding my hand so tightly, and I couldn't help but stare at our hands locked together as he led me to his car. His hand feels so warm, holding mine tight as if he never wanted to let me go. He glanced back at me once we reached the car door, pulling it open before gesturing for me to get in.I blushed and awkwardly jumped into the front seat, not forgetting to say 'thank you' when he opened the door while helping me lift up my long evening dress. He walked around and got in right after I had put on the seat belt. It won't harm to be a little cautious, I thought. Axel did the same then punched the gas, allowing us to take off and swiftly drive away from the house.Glancing at the side-view mirror, I noticed that more people were coming to park their cars on the side of the street while some new people I haven't seen before entered the house. Okay, maybe I saw them once. Twice. But only at school. An
HUNTERThis woman is fucking tormenting me. Can't she see I've been following them for the past half an hour?My brows crease and I scrunch my nose. The air fucking stinks, like garbage and shit tossed and mushed together to smell in one place. Rolling up my window, I notice Axel fuckwad's car suddenly slow down until he pulls up at the far corner of the forest road. It looks like we're here. Wherever this place is. If you're a human, you won't see shit from all the thick fog. Being a werewolf just makes things a lot better and easier in this world, but right now I fucking wish I couldn't see them at all. Just the thought of him touching what's supposed to be mine, doing things to her that the Goddess destined for me is fucking me up deep inside. Fucking mate bond. I look up and find that dick has his fucking hands all over her. His left touching the small of her back, while the other's reaching for her hand as he guides her out of that lame-ass Lexus of his. He had her back turned
AVA This isn’t happening. It’s a nightmare. It’s not real. “Mates.” He declares. His voice coming out strong and way too loud for my liking. The one word I never thought would be coming off this dickhead’s mouth, grips the air perfectly, awkwardly still around us. For a moment, the world just…stopped. No, there’s no way this is fucking real. Not now. Not when I’m finally getting close to my long-time crush and best friend. Not when I just thought we could actually be happy together, that my dreams are slowly turning into my reality. “She’s my mate.” He says firmly, and I could almost hear Axel let out an equally threatening growl. My eyes snapped wide open and I feel my body jolt up, shoving the arrogant douche away from my body. Despite the persistent throbbing of my core rendering my chest burning hot from hellfire, I yank my wrist off him and swiftly move to Axel’s side. Our eyes meet but I don’t let my gaze linger on his face a second longer, probably because I didn’t want t
AVAThe clock ticks midnight. Sitting up straight, I find myself suddenly frozen as everything turns pitch-black. It wasn't dark here when we first came in, and just then I realized Hunter had switched all the lights off.Did he figure out I couldn't see in the dark? Something growled underneath the darkness, making me flinch as I grab the sheets from under me, pulling it up until the edge touches the bridge of my nose."Hunter?" I call out.No response.Seriously, he's fucking creeping me out.Another growl rips through the air, I scream. When I feel him coming nearer, I jump off the bed and attempt to make a run for it. My heart thundering faster than I thought it could.Forcing my frozen feet to snap the hell out of it, I manage to get two steps away from the bed when unexpectedly, I slammed into a giant size of a rock. And then, it hits me. The smell of sandalwood and evergreens intertwined together in the most mouth-watering type of way. Hot... Intoxicating... And just so damn
AVA I stare up at him, utterly gobsmacked."GET. OUT!" He sneers, knocking me out of my thoughts.I jolt from the bed and run straight to the door. I didn't think, and just headed downstairs, shoving a couple of vases on the way. I didn't have time to turn back or pick it up. All I knew was I needed to run fast and get the hell out of there before he changes his mind or runs after me into the woods. Before I knew it, I was out of his house, running aimlessly into the forest.Looking back, I noticed no one seems to be running after me. Guess he really kicked me out of his house, huh? A small chuckle left my lips as I slowed down my steps. The only sound echoing in the forest is the clacking of my heels, and I needed to stop. These heels are killing me. I groan, stopping right in front of a big, old oak tree. I then catch my breath, turn sideways and lean my back against its trunk. I sigh. Defeated. Lost. And in pain. My heart is thudding violently. It was almost as if I was still the
AVAWhat the heck was it? Damn. I should be home by now. Thanks to Hunter back there, I don't even know where the hell I am and how I'm supposed to go back. Didn't he even think of that? I know I didn't, because I was too scared he'd snap my neck any moment if I didn't get out of his sight like he wanted me to. The way he had snarled at me like a predator told me so. Anyone would have ran, but I shouldn't have had to. I always thought I was fearless. My omega status never held me back from extinguishing fear that threatened me in any way possible. But when it came to him, and after knowing my mate was none other than Hunter Ysrael of Cruelcrest Hounds Pack, there was only one thing written in my mind. Run. And run I did.A rustle in the bushes jolted me back to my senses, forcing me into a defensive position.'Ava, it's me. Your wolf!' The voice echoes again, but this time, it sounded as if it wasn't coming from under the shadows. Instead, it sounded as if it were coming from inside m
