Logan's POVToday was the day of the meeting and since I was in charge, I had an idea of how the meeting was going to go. The only thing I had to perfect was blending the team members well enough so that no problems or complaints would be heard at all. I woke up by six as usual and this time around, Ava wasn't sleeping or in the gym, she had left the house by the time I came out of my room at abou six thirty. One thing I had come to understand as I got to know Ava better was this; if there was work to be done, she was going to get it done. And then the nature of her job doesn't even allow for wastage of time and like she'll always tell me, "one minute can either save a life or result in the loss of a life." That morning, I finished all I had to do and since Francis was on leave, I had to make breakfast for myself which was basically just cereal and for Ava, I toasted some bread and took avocado and whatever she would need to make the avocado ready to eat with toast. I left the hous
Ava's POV"Enough!" As I stood up, I repeatedly banged my palms down on the table. "I had enough of it! The tone and manner in which you have spoken about me is completely inappropriate, and none of you here have any right to do so. Despite the fact that I am right here, you are all squabbling about me as if I were a dog whose ownership you want to claim, and I do not enjoy any of you doing so!"I felt an overwhelming sense of rage towards everyone who had spoken about me. When it came to Aiden, I didn't really care, but I was upset, and Logan was the one who owned the majority of my wrath. "Logan, out, Now!" Despite the fact that he appeared to be feeling a little amount of regret as he stared at me, I was still required to express my emotions to him. "What exactly was with that? A proper explanation is what I require!? "Ava, this is not the place for an explanation, but I promise you'll get to know in due time." I am not interested in hearing that at all! Not only am I not a mo
AVA'S POV "Logan? What is it? Are you okay?" "Yes Ava, I'm fine." He said he was fine but he still kept pacing up around. "You don't seem fine to me. You look like you're worried and like you've been thinking about something for a while besides the message came with a sound of urgency." "Ava, you know how I've been telling you there were things you were going to find out when the time was right?" "Yes I do, why?" "Well, I don't think the time is right but I can't hold it in any longer..o can't keep quiet about it anymore." "Logan? What is it? You're scaring me!" "Ava, sit. You don't have to be worried or get yourself worked up. Here is some water, in case you need to drink." I didn't understand why Logan was talking the way he did but I had to be patient with him. "I was four years old when I got lost in the woods. I was alone, I was scared and I wandered for about two days if my memory is intact- before a kind woman took me in and started taking care of me as if I w
Ava's POV "Ava, ava? Can you hear me?" As I stared at him, I gently nodded my head in agreement. The noises had ceased, and I began to develop an understanding of what was going on in my immediate environment. Although I was aware that there was a phenomenon known as the mating bond, I was completely clueless about what it was like to experience it because I had never been in that situation before. "If you say that you used to have a scar before, it only means that you are the same Logan I had a one night stand with! The same one that disappeared early the following morning?" "Yes Ava, you are right I am the same man." "So did you know then that I was your mate?" "No, I didn't have the slightest idea. Because I still had my bracelet on." "Okay, and did you know I was Jade?" "In all sincerity, I am not sure I knew you were Jade. I was sure I knew you as Ava and I had seen you multiple times at that bar because I worked there." Despite my anticipation that I would feel any
JASON'S POV When she collapsed to the ground and began crying, I made a beeline for her immediately. I was perplexed as to why she was sobbing, and I initially believed that it was because of me; yet, when I brought her close to me, she did not put up any resistance. "Hey, hey, it's okay". She probably broke down in tears because the entire thing that she had heard, in addition, the sensation that she had just discovered was so overpowering that the only way she could get some of it out was by weeping. "When I was younger, I had a family, a mother and a father, and even a house! I have spent my entire life feeling so isolated, feeling rejected and abandoned, and having the belief that I am not deserving of love; yet, what you have just shared with me has erased all of those beliefs that I had accumulated in my head." "I understand you." "When I was a kid, my friends would always say that my parents threw me away because they didn't want me and also because I was a terrible luc
AVA'S POV. I was worn out and tired, all I wanted to do was to rest but the Alpha had other plans. As we drove to the pack house, we wondered if the other team leaders were aware of the fact that we had a meeting. The ride from Logan's home to the pack house wasn't a long one and we arrived in no time. I was still weak after the events of the day and it seemed as if the stress brought up an underlying illness I didn't know I had but I needed support to walk. When we finally got to the conference room, it was empty. There were no leaders and Aiden himself wasn't there. "Logan? What's going on?" "I have no idea Ava. I'm also as confused as you are." "Could it be that you received a prank call?" "No. There's no way that was a prank call. It was Aiden's secretary that called to relay the message." As soon as he had said that, the door swung open and the secretary walked in. "Good evening Beta Logan, Dr Ava. This way please." "Where are we going?" I asked "Well, the Alp
Ava's POv "Good morning, beautiful." "Good morning LoVan." I woke up feeling better than I was yesterday. I was still tired and didn't feel like going anywhere but we had to do what we had to do. Breakfast as usual was a delight and the previous night, we decided to move some of my things to Logan's house so after our official report meeting, we were going to go to my apartment. Getting ready wasn't a difficult task and I did that in no time. Logan on the other hand was a very respectful man. It wasn't like he had not been respectful but it seemed as if it tripled after the revelation. One thing he didn't do though was take off the bracelet permanently because we didn't want to be getting off track. The meeting was slated for nine so we left the house at exactly eight forty and got to the pack house around five minutes to nine. "After you." I walked on ahead of Logan and by the time we got to the conference room, the only missing person was Aiden. Something I realized after
Ava's POV "I'll get it" I said to the housekeeper as the doorbell rang. As I got up, I turned to Logan and asked, "Were you expecting anyone?" "No I wasn't, except if it's a surprise visit from someone. But, see who it is first." I opened up the door and saw a postman standing there. "Good morning miss, I'm here for Beta Logan." I turned to look at him and he signaled for me to collect whatever it was. "Here, I'll take it. I'm his fiancée." "Alright, that's no problem. Please sign here…and here also." "Is that all?" "Yes please. Do enjoy the rest of your day, miss." I walked back to the couch wondering what it was that the envelope might contain and I also wondered why it couldn't just be put in the mailbox. I wanted to tear it open but I had to restrict myself since it wasn't my package. "Here you go." "Why not open it? I know you really want to." "Really?" I made a move to open it up but I stopped. "This was addressed to you, not to me so I think you should op
