"Are you avoiding me?"
I groaned internally at his question.
"No I wasn't and am not avoiding you right now either.. I just need to go shower because I smell horrible" I told him while gesturing to my cloth that was stained with animal blood from the hunt.
Carlos practically sniffed the air around me at my word before replying.
"Yeah maybe you do need a bath but that doesn't change the fact that, i still think you were avoiding me" he paused and took a step closer, his head cocked slightly to the side and studying me.
"Were you actually avoiding me?"
I gave a mental roll of my eye and replied with a careless shrug, "I don't know Carlos. How about you tell me"
He shifted from one foot to the next, before his hand reached out and held mine.
"Is it because of the kiss?"
I said nothing in replied and he squeezed my hand a little. "Say something Ava. Are you avoiding me because of the kiss?"
I le
Carlo's POV.I hate to admit it but I really made a silly mistake. I never should have given in and kissed Avalon that night the way I did but one look at her and i couldn't hold back. Those lips of hers were practically calling out to me even though I knew I was overstepping my boundary and probably putting our friendship to jeopardy, I still couldn't resist her charms nor my own selfish desires.Lilly doesn't deserve a mate like me. She should have gotten someone else. Someone with a lot of self control and not someone like me who still secretly wished to be mated to his ex.Yes I know how selfish that makes me sound but that's just the truth. I thought Avalon and I were going to be mate but the moon goddess had other plans. Plans I never saw coming or could run away from and found myself stuck with it.The day I found out I was mated to Lily felt like a scattered dream. It was not what I expected but it was what came to be and could not be contested an
*Ava's POVI stirred awake slowly with a lazy yawn and a half body stretch. I could feel the soft fabric of bed sheet tucked around me. I opened my eyes and had them shut just as quickly as i tried to adjust to the attack of sunlight directly on my face.I wasn't sure where I was when my eyes finally settled and began to dart across the room cautiously in search of anything familiar that could ring a bell that I was in a familiar zone or back in my room at the pack house but got nothing.Aside from the large bed I was lying on, the room was totally plain with just a single arm chair seating in front of a wooden table at the corner. A sea green curtain shielding the room from much sunlight was pulled slightly to the side and allowing just about enough to slip through into the room.I also noticed my black ankle boots arranged neatly beside the same table by the corner, and not very far from where I laid on the bed.Where the heck am I?
*I sat at the foot of the bed still breathing hard, my hair a wild mess and covering part of my face. I blew a few strains away from my face, my eyes narrowing around in total annoyance.My wolf was just as restless if not more wound up than I was. Aside from the earlier purring at the side of our mate, now she is upset he wants us to leave as if, we begged him to bring us here in the first place.He doesn't know how much of a favor he has done for us, just by bringing us here. He has absolutely no freaking idea.There was blood stain all over the bed from the fight with Logan. I wanted so badly to be pleased that, the blood was from Logan but a great deal of me still felt like shit just staring down at the sight of it.I wasn't supposed to feel remorse or sorry for hurting him but it turns out, my heart was hurting just as much as the pain he must have been feeling but then again, I know that, feeling all that emotions and let
*With my nails buried deep into the flesh around Gia's shoulders, i yank her off just as quickly and sent her flying across the room and she went crashing into the nearby table before dropping to the floor with a grunt."Jesus Christ woman, what the heck is wrong with you?" I heard Logan yelled at me before rushing to help Gia off the floor.I hesitated for a moment, my brow raised in confusion at the voice again because it doesn't sound anything like Logan's voice, even though his body size and scent are that of Logan.I took a step closer to him, trying to make out his face in the slightly dim room, and loosing concentration only for a moment before I found myself crashing to the floor when Gia smashed right into my right rib hard and knocked me to the floor.I groaned from the impact and rolled on to my back, my arms immediately going up to shield my face from the impact of her fist when i felt her weight seating on me b
Logan's POV *I knew bringing Avalon home wasn't going to be easy but I was more than willing to risk it regardless of the fact that, she has spend so much time with the Vega pack. It was obvious to me where her loyalty would lie at this point but even at that, I still brought her back.And now, I know just how wrong I was. The girl i once knew as my mate was not the same as the one i brought back home that night. And no, I'm not talking about her new found strength or her ability to draw blood from my flesh at will but the bloody look in her eyes.I didn't want to believe it at first but it was right there and staring right back at me in the fucking eyes and I knew without a doubt that, her innocence was gone.The hatred in
*Ava's POVI let out another sigh feeling irritated, both at myself and at Logan. How could I have mistaken his friend Judah for him. Am I that freaking blind not to see the difference? It's no doubt, his scent was exactly like his but that's not enough reason for me to go fighting Gia like a shameless she wolf on heat.I'm not surprised at my own thoughtless reaction because Sofia has been acting weird all week and there is no doubt she is on heat and want to mate just as badly.That crazy manic back there attacking Gia was her not me and Logan didn't even give me a chance to apologise for my mistake but then again, she doesn't deserve an apology. It's payback for her bitchy moves back in high school.It's no doubt Gia had always had her eyes fixed on Logan but after rejecting him, I don't blame him if he runs back to her. At least that thought was easy to come to terms with while I was away but ever since today, I don't think it was settli
Logan's POV*I was certain Avalon was going to answer the call of the moon by coming to the pack dance as well. I felt her presence the very moment she walked in and began searching for me.I could smell that distinctive scent from her even in a mist of a thousand other lycans. It's even stronger given the fact that her wolf is on heat and wants to mate just as badly.I continued to take long stride towards where she stood and closed the distance between us, my hands reached out and grabbed her arms before pulling her into my chest in one swift move. I heard her gasp at the sudden contact and i was forced to bite back a smirk that was threatening to break out on my face."Why did you come to the pack dance. I assumed you were already on your way back to that shit face by now. So what are you still doing here?" I leaned closer to her and half whispered into her ear.Before she could recover from the goosebumps trailing her exposed arms
Ava's POVWhile Logan slipped into a peaceful slumber by my side, I lay awake a bit longer just listening to his heart beat as his chest rises and fall slowly in rhythm with mine. This moment was all that I ever wanted many months ago, to be wrapped completely in the arms of my loving mate while I bathe in his intoxicating sweet scent night after night, with no care or worry for anything else.All of my dreams would have come true if only the world was a simple place and not full with twist and turns every single step of the way until one start to loose count of just how many one has been unfortunate to encounter in this journey through life.Everything would have been more than just perfect even with all the unexpected twist and turns but it's also filled with betrayals and murders who have gone unpunished for far too long and it's not because the law is on their fucking side but because fate was waiting for the one that would come put an end to their rei
