Love is PURE, its adulteration is PAIN!Ava's POV: My senses swirled in a bewildering fog as we approached the outskirts of the pack's territory, the air thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. Warriors patrolling the region. “Alpha,”Suddenly five wolves leaped from the trees, making me jump backwards. They lowered their eyes and bowed respectfully at Xavier. “Hey man,” Beta Daniel ran towards us. His upper body was bare, indicating he just shifted from his wolf form. “Where were you,”? Beta Daniel inquired. I looked at him, his abs were on display. His v-line glinting with sweat. A growl broke me out of my introspections, making me flinch. I looked at Xavier to see he was grimacing at me. His chest heaved up and down. His nostrils flaring. I quickly darted away. What has gotten into him? Xavier didn't speak anything and walked past Beta Daniel. Beta Daniel glanced at me in confusion. I reluctantly followed him to the pack house. In all of this, they failed to notice a sha
Ava's POV:Standing in front of the mirror, and staring at myself. I feel good but I have motley feelings. Today, Fleur moved into the packhouse with Beta Daniel, and to celebrate them, everyone decided to hit the club. I am happy for Fleur but I can't help but feel uncertain, as Alpha Xavier and Jessica would also be there. So, here I am standing in front of the mirror. I'm wearing a blue glittery dress, with lanky sleeves, that reaches above my thighs. I straightened my hair and did natural makeup.AVA'S DRESSQuickly, glancing at myself one more, I took my phone. Just as I was leaving, the door opened, and in came my highness. Cora is wearing a very short ebony dress, while fleur is wearing a glittery lustrous dress with spikey short sleeves. They both were looking stunning. CORA'S DRESSFLEUR'S DRESS“Oh my Ava, You’re looking splendid, good enough to be devoured,” Cora whistled, making me blush at her remark. Fleur smacked her on the head, “ Ouch fleur! What was that
Ava's POV:Suddenly, a fierce growl roared in the wilderness, jerking the hedges. My body immediately recognized it…ZION!The Ugly harpy turned from the window and growled at Zion, and himself took a step back, but Zion was not having this cat-mouse play. He growled and leaped at the wolf. Both the wolf started fighting. The brown wolf endeavored for Zion's neck, but Zion was sharp to swerve him. They both were snarling and orbiting each other. Both were trying to find a weakness of the foe. “Please God! Help my Zion,” closing my eyes, I silently prayed for my mate. A loud painful screeching has me opening my eyes. Looking out the window, I saw Zion has blasted the wolf on his neck, slashing his windpipe. Blood was spewing out of his neck but Zion was still not done with him. I watched as life left his body, and Zion threw away his carcass. Turning in my direction, Zion trotted my way. He lapped at the window, trying to open it but he couldn’t. He growled at the window as if t
Ava's POV:Rubbing my eyes, I sat straight. Don’t know when I dozed? Looking at Alpha Xavier to saw, he was wide awake, looking at me intensely. “How are you feeling,”? I asked breaking the silence. He nodded still looking at me. I quickly looked down. “Thank you, love,”. “Huh,” I asked perplexed. “Thank you, for saving me love,” he repeated amusement dancing in his beautiful orbs. The things this ugly wolf does to me when he says, love. I nodded and stood up. “I'll see if there is something to eat,” I said, and just as I was going, a hand wrapped around my wrist. Tingles shot in my body. Sapphire pureed. I looked back to see, he was looking at my wrist, which was scratched. “It’s fine,” I tried to pull my hand back but he held it tight. And next what he did, shocked the hell out of me. Slowly, bringing my hand to his lips, he licked the area which is grazed. Pleasurable tingles shot in my body, causing goosebumps on my skin. My heart was beating so fast as if it
Ava's POV:Turning back, I shrieked and he chuckled. What’s he doing here? “So, remember me,” he stepped forward and asked. I was still shocked. He laughed, seeing me standing like a pillar in the kitchen. “Ava,” he called, breaking me out of my trance. “No-Noah, Hi, what are you doing here,” he smiled at my nutty welcome. Way to go Ava. “ So, looks like someone remember me,” he said with his charming smile. Just as I open my mouth to answer, we heard a commotion. Looking there I saw Alpha Xavier and Jessica coming downstairs. Jessica’s eyes are fluffed and her nose is red as if she has been crying. Her head is resting on Alpha Xavier’s chest. What the hell happened to her? “Jessica,” Noah whispered with longlines. I look at Noah, to see he was looking at Jessica with the same glint, he was looking at her in the prom, longlines, hurt… and love. What am I missing here? Jessica gazed at her for a second, and then put her head on Alpha Xavier’s chest. I quickly look awa
Ava's POV:Knock! Knock!The sound of knocking enticed me out of my siesta. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I slowly opened them and stare at the ceiling. Why is it different from my room back in Packhouse? Hastily, sitting straight, I look around to saw I was in a different room. Just then everything came crashing. How did my mate choose someone else over me? Will I ever be enough for him? Will I ever be his choice? Sighing, I sagged on the bed, only to sit straight due to rigorous knocking on the door. Opening the door, I was greeted with a light blow on my face. “Ouch,” I involuntary touched my forehead. “I am so sorry. I was about to knock and you opened the door, Sorry,” Noah blabbered entering inside. “Sorry,” he said while rubbing my forehead. “It’s okay,” I said blushing and amble aside. “Breakfast is ready, come fast,” he said and fled from there. He held the knob to go out but turned and came towards me. “Be careful,” he said and flickered my forehead. I redden
Ava's POV:Shit! I'm super late today. Usually, I don't sleep that late but today. And why did Noah didn't wake me up? Argh!Quickly going to the washroom, I wash up and dressed for the day. Taking my phone, I sprinted downstairs. Entering the kitchen, I expected Noah to be there but he wasn't. Where is he? Did he already leave me? Vetoing the thought, I went to the cabinet and took the cereal box and milk from the fridge. Closing the fridge with my hip, I sat at the dining table and started eating my breakfast. Halfway through the breakfast, the front door opened, and in come Noah. As I looked up I was caught in a daze. He was wearing just pants as it was hot outside and he came from his morning walk. He was holding a water bottle in one hand while his other hand had a small towel to clean the sweat. His biceps were bulging with the veins popping out and giving a dominant look to his body. His six-pack abs were on full exhibit with sweat shimmering on them making him look even
Ava's POV:Today, I'm going to meet their parents. Xavier's parents have been on excursions since the epoch. They travel from one pack to another to make treaties with them. But what about Noah's parents? He never talked about them. I guess, today is the day I meet them and get to know something about Noah because he always smells fishy. I'm wearing a gorgeous purple and red backless dress. It reaches my knees. I straightened my hair and did light makeup. Taking my phone, I went downstairs where Noah had been waiting for an hour. "Ready,"? He asked as I stepped down the last stair. " Yes," I answered timidly. I'm so nervous to meet them."You look gorgeous and don't worry, they will love you," he comforted with his charming smile. "They are nice people, nothing like him," he laughed a little. I nodded and we left for Alpha Xavier's home. How does he know them so well? ---------------------------------Just as we were about to knock, the door opened. I look up
