Reclaiming His Banished Mate 17 - Blushes
AvaI can see the frustration all over Kylar’s face. But he just shrugs it off. ‘Well, I’ll see you at the bar then,’ he smirks, ‘because there arn’t many places that Luca will be taking you.’ Nerves tangle in my stomach, skipping all over the place as I force a smile. I can’t imagine anything worse, than getting a drink with Luca, and having Kylar in my line of sight. Just the thought makes my skin crawl. It makes me want to run. ‘Thank you though,’ I reach out, unable to help myself and touch his arm. He pulls away and I’m stung by the motion as he walks over to the door. ‘If I don’t see you tonight, I’ll see you tomorrow? For the delivery?’ I’ve spent all week trying to avoid Kylar, and now I’m trying to make him stay? What’s with that.‘Sure,’ he turns back, lifting a hand in a brief wave, ‘but I’m pretty sure I’ll see you tonight,’ he warns with a grin. One that sends sparks right through my body.‘It’s not a date,’ I follow after him as he traipses down the steps to the path t
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 18 - Not a Date
AvaAlright, I’m jealous. I’m jealous and it’s completely ridiculous because Kylar has been the one trying to get close, and I’ve been the one putting up boundaries. Luca ushers me over to a booth and I slide in. Eclipse is busier than I expected, there are about a dozen other patrons. some younger guys hustling at the pool table, laughing as they swing the cue back and forth. There’s an older couple sit chatting away in the back, eyes locked on one another. Mates, I assume, because they’re comfortable, happy. Two women, maybe in their early thirties stand beside the retro jukebox, taking it in turns to select songs. Luca slides into the seat opposite me, hands laid out on the table, watching the bar over my shoulder. ‘So this is Eclipse?’ I look around. It’s an older building, and the wooden floors are bit sticky. It’s got dark paint on the walls and ceiling, bringing the space in and lending to a more intimate atmosphere than most dive bars. Because it definitely has that edge.
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 19 - You Want Me
I smile, listening to my boys, occasionally interrupted in their jabbering story by Lou who explained what they’d been up to. They sound like they're having fun, but I miss them badly. At least after the delivery tomorrow I can spend the evening with them. I glance back at the bar before walking away, still smiling into the phone. It wasn’t a date and Luca ditched me. It’s uncomfortable sitting opposite Kylar so I do want any sane person does. I start walking home. I’m watching the blossoms as I go, giggling along to the twins adventures before Lou calls time for bed. I tell them how much I love them, that I can’t wait to see them before hanging up.My phone slides back into my bag and I finish off the journey to the edge of the village. But someone is following me. I walk faster, grateful for my boots and the tread they’ve got on the fallen blossom. I hold my purse on my shoulder, fingers gripping it tightly. But I’m a wolf, should I just shift and snap their head off? Who would be
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 20 - Taking Me
Pinned against the table he pushes away my cardigan, leaving my shoulders bare except for the thin straps of my dress. I’m staring at him, heart caught in my chest. He kisses me. Softly, slowly teasing, slanting his mouth over mine. My lips part beneath his touch and I’m arching against the hard muscles of his chest. The kisses turn hungry, rough as he drags his lips against me. Running them along my jaw and down the side of my neck. For a terrifying moment I think he’s going to bite me. To claim me as his own. But instead he bends his knees and picks me up. I’m dropped on the countertop, my legs wrapped around his torso. Arching back, hands splayed behind me as he tears away the top of my dress, letting it pool around my waist. I’m shivering, skin lifting in goosebumps as he tugs down the cups of my bra, seeing my breasts spill over the fabric.He groans with approval and it sends a jolt of pleasure straight to my vagina. I squirm, wishing I could press my knees together. But
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 21 - Help
Ava - Five Years AgoI’m driving back through the forest to the Silver Stream Village. Until I decided to live in College Dorms, it was the only home I had ever known. Daddy, Alpha Pete has always kept a tight grip on his Pack. Even after our Mom died, there has been no stopping him or slowing him down. He’s built Silver Stream up from a small collection of Wolves, to a powerful territory. I feel sick, and it’s not just the nerves that are twisting through my body. I pull up outside the Pack House, the long log Cabin where Bella’s wedding took place a little over a month ago. I haven't been back since. I didn’t want to see Ryan, or Josh or even my Sister, Bella. I wanted to hide. To stay away until my heart healed from their betrayal. Until I could push away the memories of the handsome stranger. It all comes back the minute I switch off the engine. I’m gripping the steering wheel, head bent against my hands. I can’t do this. I can’t do it. I want to scream. I want to cry. I’m de
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 22 - Unraveled
Ava Five Years Ago‘Say it again!’ It’s Zac that snaps at me as I drop onto my knees before him. I scramble upright, Josh is beside me, trying to help but I push him away. I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to be touched by him. When did he last fuck my Sister? My twin? My married Sister. I look at my boyfriend with red-ringed eyes and back away, scrambling towards the door. I turn to face them, fighting for composure and some strength.‘Ava!’ My father’s voice thunders through the room, his Alpha energy radiating through the space and it’s all I can do to stay standing. The whole pack house must be able to hear. My cheeks are burning, ears ringing. It feels like they’re bleeding they’re so hot and sore. I grip my hands into fists, pressing so hard that the nails cut into my skin. Trying to centre myself.‘I’m pregnant,’ I gasp and look between the three men. What had I hoped for? Some sliver of compassion? Some understanding? I’m only twenty one. I’ve made a mistake. I was dr
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 23 - Finding my own way
Ava Five Years Ago I don’t remember leaving the pack house behind. I don’t remember driving away from the village of Silver Stream. I just remember the pain. I made it back to my dorm room on campus and buried myself under the blankets. I cried, clutching my chest as the pain of their rejection was felt, over and over. Finally, I felt numb. As though they couldn’t hurt me anymore. There was no one left to reject me under the Moon Goddess. I was alone. A Rogue. Seren was in agony and we comforted each other. We survived. A week later there were my final exams and I changed medical school. I’d intended to stay close to home, to Silver Stream for my family, my Pack and my boyfriend. But I knew it was better to get away. To leave my life behind and move on. I switched out to a Medical School in a small city on the Western side of the country, there was a lot of dense forest and high mountains that reminded me of home. No one would find me here. No one could track me so far away. I
Reclaiming His Banished Mate 24 - Emergency Room
Ava - Winter‘Will you stop fussing over me?’ The sharp tone’s of an elderly woman broke through the busy emergency room.I’m lent over the nurses station, coffee in one hand, pen in the other as she worked through the forms of my last patient, Mr Foster. I’m frowning at the form, tired after a nightshift, but just a few more months and my residency will be finished. Lou’s sat down beside me, fingers clicking with speed across her computer. Every now and then she peeks up over the edge of the station at the busy room, swears beneath her breath and gets back to work. It’s not often that we’re scheduled to work together, but whenever we are, it’s always busy. I’m quickly ticking boxes and scribbling notes, so that later when I need to complete the full paperwork, I can remember what happened, my diagnosis and the recommended treatment. I smother a yawn behind my hand and Lou jabs me in the side with a sharp finger.‘Your shift just ended, go home,’ she mutters and a few of the closest
