AVA'S POV "You can open your eyes now" As soon as I did, I noticed that Maureen and Maxine were crying, and I was confused as to why they were crying. "What is causing you all to go into tears? What kind of thing took place? "It's okay, Ava; you shouldn't be so concerned. Simply put, we are awestruck by the amazing beauty that you possess."I let out a breath of relief and continued by saying, "Come on ladies, you both scared me!" This was Maxine speaking on behalf of the two of them, and she said, "We're sorry, we didn't mean to, but the truth is that you look like an angel. Will you kindly turn around? As I stood in front of the mirror, I was the one who couldn't believe how they had modified my appearance without being excessive and without obliterating any natural kind of beauty that I possessed. They chose for a daring design that centred around smokey eyes for my face, and it was very effective. My eyes were surrounded by a mesmerising and seductive look that was created b
Ava's POV"As some of you know I am Logan, Beta of the Nightingale pack…"The question "Logan," which I murmured in his ear, "what's going on?" Despite the fact that he did not respond, he gripped my hands and squeezed them tightly. "And this stunning woman standing next to me is Ava Silverpelt, and it just so happens that she is my companion for the celebration coming up tonight. She is looking for a partner, and I thought this would be a good location to begin her search because I am aware that many of you are still looking for your partners. To put it another way, you are free to chat to her, but only while I am not present with her. While he was making that revelation, he let go of his glass and the fork, took my hands, and brought me back to the table where we were sitting. "Logan, we need to talk, NOW!" "But Ava, we can't leave now." "I didn't say we were leaving, but if you refuse to come with me, I'll have to leave!" He gazed at me for a bit before moving to allow me to
Ava's POVIndeed, it was official! There was just one thing that was off, and that was Logan. My friendship with Aiden had already begun, and things had been going well over the past few weeks. Since the conclusion of the gala, he had been behaving in a bizarre manner, and it all began after the event had concluded. Despite the fact that it appeared as though he was jealous, I was unsure of the reason why he was so envious. He told people to come for me because he believed that the best man should be the one to have me. As back as I could remember, he encouraged people to come for me. Only because it brought me one step closer to accomplishing my objective and fulfilling my mandate did I give my consent to it. Every day, I was inundated with gifts and proposals from potential suitors. Even when Logan moved me into his home, I continued to get gifts and proposals and this was the one negative aspect of the situation. Things were going well, and life was quite wonderful. I had comple
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
