Ava's POV"Logan? Oh my goodness!" I rushed to him but before I could get a hold of him, he fell down with a loud thud. "Logan! Logan, can you hear me?" I felt the tears were already gathering but I had to pull myself together and swing into my doctor mode. "Francis, quick, help me!" Together, we were able to take him up to his room and lay him on the bed. "Quick, get me the first aid box!" The housekeeper, Ana, rushed downstairs and brought it to me. Before I commenced I asked them to leave the room so i could attend to him properly. "Logan, I don't know if you can hear me, I need you! You can't leave me now that our plan is blossoming you hear! I need you to gather whatever energy you have left and start your healing process!" I cut the remaining parts of the shirt to reveal his skin covered with a lot of bruises, not all of them were fresh, but I could see he had fought for a lot of reasons and a lot of times. I decided to start with the knife piercing at his side even tho

Ava's POV I got to the Mariana which was the location Aiden had sent me, and honestly, I wasn't in love with the external features of "The Mariana." The exterior was quite understated, lacking the charm or allure I usually seek in a restaurant. Its faded sign hinted at a once-vibrant establishment, now weather-worn and slightly neglected. The paint on the walls seemed to have lost its luster, carrying a dull, off-white hue. The windows, though clean, didn't showcase anything enticing; they were tinted and unadorned, leaving no glimpse of what the inside looked like. The architecture felt outdated, lacking the modern appeal that usually draws me in. A couple of wilted potted plants near the entrance attempted to add some greenery but only highlighted the overall lack of care. Overall, the ambiance projected a sense of mediocrity that didn't align with my preferences for an inviting dining experience but I decided to not judge a book by its cover. ‘tsk I thought Aiden could do better’

LOGAN'S POV The day had finally come, the day when everything would fall in its place and when the next level to this game was going to be opened. The gala was set to begin at four PM tonight which meant we had nine hours to get ready and leave the house. I woke up and decided to do my workout session in the house as I didn't want to get attacked again and I wasn't in the mood to beat anyone up. My usual waking up time was six am and for Ava, I didn't know because even if she was up, she wasn't going to leave the room till around eight probably. I picked up my bottle, went downstairs to fill out and headed over to the gym. My gym had an array of workout gear that turned my space into a fitness haven. Dumbbells and barbells lined the rack, their weights promising challenge and progress. The bench press stood sturdy, inviting me to push my limits. In the corner, parallettes waited for bodyweight exercises, while the Smith machine offered guided lifts for a full workout. Pull-up b

Ava's POV"As some of you know I am Logan, Beta of the Nightingale pack…"The question "Logan," which I murmured in his ear, "what's going on?" Despite the fact that he did not respond, he gripped my hands and squeezed them tightly. "And this stunning woman standing next to me is Ava Silverpelt, and it just so happens that she is my companion for the celebration coming up tonight. She is looking for a partner, and I thought this would be a good location to begin her search because I am aware that many of you are still looking for your partners. To put it another way, you are free to chat to her, but only while I am not present with her. While he was making that revelation, he let go of his glass and the fork, took my hands, and brought me back to the table where we were sitting. "Logan, we need to talk, NOW!" "But Ava, we can't leave now." "I didn't say we were leaving, but if you refuse to come with me, I'll have to leave!" He gazed at me for a bit before moving to allow me to

Logan's POVToday was the day of the meeting and since I was in charge, I had an idea of how the meeting was going to go. The only thing I had to perfect was blending the team members well enough so that no problems or complaints would be heard at all. I woke up by six as usual and this time around, Ava wasn't sleeping or in the gym, she had left the house by the time I came out of my room at abou six thirty. One thing I had come to understand as I got to know Ava better was this; if there was work to be done, she was going to get it done. And then the nature of her job doesn't even allow for wastage of time and like she'll always tell me, "one minute can either save a life or result in the loss of a life." That morning, I finished all I had to do and since Francis was on leave, I had to make breakfast for myself which was basically just cereal and for Ava, I toasted some bread and took avocado and whatever she would need to make the avocado ready to eat with toast. I left the hous
