Ava's POV
*
I had just fifteen minutes left to go down and grab lunch and head back and finish off the paper work I was handling before 4pm.
I was practically working my ass off just so i could spend time with kara and her boyfriend without looking over my shoulders at pending piles of files that would be waiting for me the next day at the office.
Blowing off a stray of loose strain of hair from my face, I took a long sigh feeling all exhausted and famish. I glanced over at Logan's direction, wondering if he was still in there or sneaked out while I was not looking.
The fact that he could very much see everyone from the comfort of his office yet no one can't see him from our end is pretty unfair. He made sure only him can successfully spy on others without looking like a creep.
Pssshhhhhh!
Logan has been acting weird all day, just hiding away in his office. I wonder if he was doing it on purpose just to avoid me or he was still broodi
*Once it was closing hour, I grabbed my stuffs and began to hurry outside the building. I was running a little bit late for my own birthday party.I needed to rush back to the apartment for a quick shower and a change of clothes before meeting Kara and Cooper. I haven't seen them since they arrived in town.I still could not believe, Kara had successfully dragged Cooper along as well because of me. They seemed to be the only people available to hang out with me.I would have loved to invite Carlos and Lily as well but I still haven't reached out to him just yet so I doubt he is aware am even here or if today was even my birthday.Mom had almost cried me a river when we face time earlier. They both had plans to come around for my big eighteenth but turns out Dad had just secured another job and couldn't afford to ask for a week leave.I got to the apartment and showered just as quickly after which I pulled on my white T-shirt and black skinn
*"You are not allowed to dance, touch, kiss or even think about fucking that guy or anyone else that isn't me, am I clear?"He growled at me and I just kept backing away from his intruding presence until my back made contact with the wall and i stopped, his arms caging me between him and the wall.Pssshhhhh!The naked rage in his eyes was enough to make the fight in me turn to visible beads of sweat but I was not about to be intimidated by him or anyone else.Like I said earlier, this was my night, not his and I can do whatever the heck I so please and I don't need his permission to do that.A little angry scoff escaped my lips and squared my shoulders and shot him a hard glare."You have no claim over me Logan. I can very much do whatever the heck I want and with whomever I choose to, so don't you dare talk to me like you freaking own me because you don't" I gushed out at him breathlessly.My hands reached o
*We arrived at my apartment and I pushed the door open and began to make my way inside not sparing him a single glance.Not that I didn't want to but because I was starting to feel really restless and uncomfortable.I could tell that tequila is about to knock me hard to the ground so I better make it to my bed before it does."Wait Ava" His voice called at me and I paused and looked over my shoulders and back at him.He looked really trouble.Is it just me or Logan was starting to over react because I don't think am mad at him any longer."Please let me look at your shoulder" he tried to take hold of my arm and I shrugged him off."Leave me alone and go home alright?. I just want to be alone"Throwing his hands up in surrender, he took a step away from me and began to back away, one foot after the next."Alright fine but call me if you need me Okay?""Okay" I replied him with a nod.He t
*By the time I made it to the hospital in a taxi. I was already seeing and hearing things.I could literally hear people arguing from miles away, not to mention, perceiving the sweet aroma of cooked steak and sausage from the restaurant from across the street as the car drove by.At this point, I was totally convinced that something horrible was wrong with me and it has everything to do with this terrible ache on my shoulder.Gosh!I just hope the doctors will be able to fix me or treat whatever infection the stupid bite was turning into because I can't take it anymore.I dragged myself through the entrance and over to the counter and registered my information with the lady behind the desk before proceeding to wait for my turn by the chair in the corner just like everyone else who had gotten there before me.My phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since I got here but I couldn't take it out or even look at it.I could barely focu
*Logan's POV"Fucking hell" I punched at the steering wheel hard in frustration and bitter rage.What the fuck was I thinking letting myself loose control the way I freaking did with her. It wasn't supposed to end the way it did.Damnit all to hell.She didn't even let me take a look at the extent of my damn recklessness. I fucking lost every single control I had left the moment I heard her moaned out my name and my wolf just jumped out of control and went ahead to initiate the mate bond.Damn!Now that it's done, I just hope she is okay because with the mate fluid inside her blood stream, it won't be long before she fully gets triggered and start reacting to every fucking damn emotion and instinct.At this point, I can already imagine how she could be feeling especially when she has no freaking idea what has been lying dormant in her genes all these years.I just wonder what her parent did to her all these years. How l
*Ava's POVWell, instead of feeling a bit of relief after the nurse gave me medication and even dressed up my wound, I began to feel a lot worst.I could still hear that voice in my head getting louder and louder and I can't seem to shut it out. I mean, not even if I try because believe me I have but it just get worst.My life was becoming a living nightmare and I can't do anything to help myself. Apparently, not even the doctor or the medication I have been given was making me feel better.I thought about turning on my phone to maybe call my mom to come get me but couldn't summon enough courage to do it, instead I just lay here and cried like a little girl feeling sorry for herself.I just couldn't afford to let my parent see me whining like this. How would that make them feel. Probably cause them to regret their decision to let me come here for work because would be just a waste of time at this point.It's not like what
*We spent another five minutes or so driving on the road before he took a left turn and drove in through an iron gate and parked in front of a grey mansion.Logan's house was located at the outskirt of the city and it was mightily huge as well. I could tell from the number of buildings we drove by before stopping in front of this current one that it was an estate.A very large estate at that too with more hectares that were covered in just vegetations.I peeped through the window and further down at the rest of the environment. Trying to get a better view from inside the vehicle.The whole place was looking like an ancient castle with lights and tall shrubs. Sculpture of Greek and Roman figures were scattered around in their deserted places and then, stood the water fountain at the entrance to the house.The atmosphere seemed really quiet and isolated into the night. I think, the only thing missing was the guards on unif
*"Are you scared of me?" He took a step towards me and stopped and I looked up to face him, still sprawled on the floor beneath, and shaking like a wet leaf."You_you are a werewolf" the word slipped out of my mouth in a whisper and he just chuckled at my statement before reaching for my hands and helped me back on my feet.Still holding me close, he tucked some stray hair blowing freely in the night wind behind my ears and brushed his thumb across my left cheek slightly before looking into my eyes."Yes Avalon, I'm a werewolf and you are my chosen mate""Your chosen what?" My left brow raised lazily at him in utter confusion."Yes Ava. You are my mate"I half chuckled and coughed at his statement. I mean, What the heck is he talking about? Am his chosen what again?Mate?Pssssssshhhh!Is he by any chance trying to play some silly jokes on me right now? Like what the hell does he mean by that. I get the fac
