Ava could feel her heart pound violently in her chest as she rushed out, walking as fast as her legs could carry her. She had no set direction, but she knew she wanted to be as far from them as possible.The ladies' room was where her feet took her, and she heaved when she slammed the door behind her. Walking over to the mirror, she stared at her reflection.Her face still looked baffled, and shocked. How long has that been going on? What was it between them? She asked herself as she dropped the files in her hand to wash off the clammy sweat on her palm.All she wanted to do was return the goddamn files and head back home, but no, of course, having a normal day was not something she was familiar with.It hurt a little, scratch that, it hurt a lot for someone she had convinced herself and successfully believed not to care about. He did not look so into it, but she could not shake off the image of his lips touching hers. Gathering herself and heading out of the bathroom, she inhaled a

Princess almost tripped on her feet as she hurried to grab her stuff. It's not every day that Alpha Damon asks them to go home with a wink, and it could only mean one thing. That they were on the same page now.She had stolen a glance at him one last time with her most seductive look as she walked out of the office. The office was empty when she returned, she headed downstairs to where they had parked earlier this morning. She tried opening the door, but it was locked, and he looked too lost in thought to even see her standing there, so she knocked softly on the window of the car, waving a little to grab his attention.He opened the car, and she stepped in, unable to hold back the smile on her face, she beamed excitedly. He looked zoned out again, and Princess wondered what it was that got him like that. “What are you thinking about, we should go.” Princess snapped at him, once again bringing him out of his train of thought. And they drove home, she could not contain her happiness

Mika waited patiently, glancing towards the road at every slight noise. Ava was beginning to take too long, but she could understand since their spot was a little on the outskirts of West Wood.She sighed in relief when she saw Ava's car pull up, and she got out, looking around. She looked lost in thought as she got to the foot of the hill, her eyes looking around her.“Ava, come on” Mika waved at her, drawing her attention.Ava only looked deep in thought, and not half as bad as Mika had expected. Her voice had suggested something urgent, perhaps she was just shaken at the moment.They exchanged pleasantries and Mika offered her a bottle of water and waited patiently for her to speak, she had mentioned she needed someone to talk to. Mika was always prepared for these things, so she had packed some snacks and water for them both. Knowing fully well that they might be here for hours.Will did not exactly fancy the idea, but Mika could not help it, not only had she missed her friend fo

Alpha Damon ate his dinner quietly, avoiding eye contact with Princess, who was seated right across from him at the dining table.She looked as if she had questions, questions he knew very well that he had no answers to, or maybe he did but just was not ready to acknowledge them.Her eyes glanced at him every few minutes, and she seemed to be contemplating the right moment to speak, he just hoped she did not.With what just happened between them, she had every right to ask as many questions as she wanted, and he was obligated to answer every one of them. “You left.” They were the first words that left her lips when she finally mustered the courage to speak. Alpha Damon understood clearly what she meant to be that, he had woken up and left the bed, mostly out of guilt, but he was not going to tell her that, of course.“I had to attend to a few things, you looked spent, so I would rather not wake you up.” It was the first excuse he could think of, so he blurted it out, hoping he sound

Ava retched as she threw up all the contents of her stomach into the toilet bowl. This has become a normal phenomenon for the past few days. While it was tiring and gut-wrenching, she knew it was part of this journey to becoming a mother.Resting on her knees, she tied her hair back and sat for a few minutes to make sure she had everything out. The past few weeks had been a hectic one for her, with the morning sickness coming in full force and not responding to the medications she was given, having to deal with the slight discomforts that came with it. She had a little bump now, barely noticeable, but she could see it. She had developed the habit of absentmindedly rubbing it, and sometimes she even caught herself talking to it.Just three months far along, and Ava could feel a strong connection with her child, she hoped it would turn out to be a boy. She had always wanted to know what it would feel like to raise a strong and fearless boy child.Getting up off the floor after sitt
