Jayden's POV"I forgive you" I couldn't believe my ears when she uttered the three words that I have wanted to hear for so long. I knew that I probably didn't deserve it, but I sure was gonna take it.I stare into her gorgeous brown eyes glistening with happiness. I honestly didn't know why it took this long for me to realize that she was the only woman I needed.Everything about her was perfect. There was nothing that she could do or say to change the way I felt about her. Her perfect eyes, face, hair, body, everything about her was simply perfect. Of course she was perfect; she was a freaking angel for crying out loud.Holding her in my arms right now was everything I needed. It was a miracle how I was able to be apart from her for so long. 

Ava's POV The look that he cast my way was enough to make me blush and look away, my previous confidence slowly evaporating from just looking in his eyes. There were so many emotions running through his eyes that made me overwhelmed and unable to keep eye contact. On one hand I was terrified of what I was about to do later on tonight, but on the other hand I was happy to know that I could elicit such a reaction from him. "Would you like to, um, take a seat?" he asked, clearing his throat and scratching the back of his neck. I could tell that he was just as nervous as I was from that simple gesture. "Ye-yeah" I stuttered and cleared my throat as a way to ease the awkward tension in the air. He led me to my awaiting seat at the table and I sat down. The table was covered with a white table cloth and decorated with a few rose petals, with just a single rose in a vase in the middle. There were two place settings at the table, obviously. The yacht was lit up with fairy lights which

Ava's POV'How do you want to play this? Want me to knock some sense into them?' Alana's voice bombarded my thoughts.'No, I'll handle this,' I answered.'They're going to walk all over you,' she snickered, but gave up on trying to take control of the situation. I could see her, sitting comfortably eating popcorn like she was at the movies in my head. That was yet another reason why I couldn't fail. I had to show her and Jayden that I could handle myself.Ignoring the boys' curious stares; I walked around the desk and sat on the other side of the boys. As soon as I perched my butt on the chair, the boys gasped dramatically."What?" I asked, wanting to know why they were

Ava's POV"No" I repeated for the hundredth time."Sweetheart, I'm fine. See," to emphasize his point, he lifted a two hundred pound weight with a finger.While lowering the weight to the gym floor, I could see him grimace to which he played it off with a smile. I knew that he was still in pain, because I could feel it. "You're going to hurt yourself" I exclaimed grabbing ahold of the weight and putting it on the floor. I looked up at him with displeasure and worry etched across my face."I don't need your help" he snapped, turning away from me.I knew why he was acting like this. He was the all mighty alpha, feared by all. He was used to doing everything for himself. I guess he didn't want anyon

Ava's POVI've decided to adopt Andy. It was a spur of the moment decision, but I didn't regret it. All I had left to do was get Jayden on board, which shouldn't be too hard, if I could find him.Jayden didn't come home last night and I haven't heard anything from him. After our training session yesterday, we went our separate ways. I went to the pack house, and he went to deal with a problem that they were having at the pack border.I've tried to mind link him, but he only blocked me out refusing to let me in. I also tried calling and texting, but he didn't answer either.I was worried. I didn't sleep a wink last night, just in case he'd come home. It was now morning and he still wasn't home. I brought the cup up to my lips and took a sip of the coffee. This was probably my sixth cup, I thin
