Ava’s POV

"Logan?" Still crouching in the narrow trunk, I muttered. The panic that had seized me a few seconds previously gave way to a confused and hopeful feeling. How did he discover me? Was he also in danger? I strained to listen for any indication of what was going on outside, and questions raced through my head.

The commotion had died down, but the tension lingered.

The impact on the trunk startled me while I debated whether or not to answer Logan's call. With a creak of metal, the lid was yanked upward. I felt panic take hold of me. Did the wolves do it? Were they finally making their entrance?

I squinted against the unexpected flash of light, bracing myself for the worst. However, what I saw when I arrived was much more amazing than I had imagined. Logan was standing there, his body drenched in blood and his eyes angry. I was taken aback by the sudden understanding that he had transformed back into a human.

"Logan?" Unable to process the bizarre scene in front of me, I mumbl

    Logan’s POVI felt a boiling rage of irritation rising within me as I grasped the steering wheel. How dare Ava criticize my motions? She had the gall to question my motives after I had put my safety in danger and trusted my gut to save her. In the middle of a situation this serious, who the hell did she think she was to question my actions?I tried not to show the fury that was simmering beneath the surface of my eyes by keeping them concentrated on the road. I kept thinking about Ava's remarks, and I couldn't get rid of the irritated feeling that was eating away at me. Upon helping her, I encountered doubt rather than appreciation.I said to myself, "Just concentrate on getting to your place safely," as the stress in the automobile increased. There was an aura of uncertainty about the night, and I couldn't afford to be sidetracked. My teeth were gritted as I wound my way around the twisting roads, the engine's steady hum serving as a discordant background to my inner struggle.I look

    Ava’s POV"Ava. I've known you for a while. You're thinking about something. "Something you're not saying," he said, his eyes cutting through the air.I took a deep breath and thought about whether I should tell them what I really wanted to do or keep lying. "Logan, I don't understand what you mean." It's been a rough night, and I'm not in the mood for false charges.Logan's face stayed fixed, with flickering flames casting a dance of shadows over it. "Ava, I know you didn't just come back to this pack to settle down and fit in. You're hiding something else. No matter what it is, it's not my problem. "Let's work together because we have a lot in common," I said.My eyes lit up with surprise, and for a moment I lost my protective stance. How did he understand? Was my secret so easy to see? A rush of feelings was about to come out, but I sucked them down and took a protective stance."Logan, I have no idea what you're talking about," I said, sounding angry. "Tonight has been intense, an

    Ava’s POVAs I thought about what he said, my mind was working on many levels. It could be good or bad to work with Logan. In some ways, he could help me get close to Aiden, but I also had to make sure that his goals were the same as mine.I couldn't get rid of the feeling of being careful. Logan had his own plans, so I had to keep an eye on him. Was he just using me as a pawn in his game, or did our goals really match up? The answers were still hard to find.It was impossible for me to shake the feeling that Logan was keeping his plans very secret. Was I just a part of his game of strategy, or did our goals really match up? Uncertainty gnawed at the edges of my thoughts, and I was careful in everything I did."Logan," I said with a calm voice, "if we're going to work together, we need to be completely honest with each other." We both need to know why the other person wants to hurt Aiden. Because that's the only way to build trust, and this union isn't stable without trust.Logan look

    Ava's POVI walked up the stairs, raking my fingers through my hair while pictures of the events that night flashed through my mind. "I almost died out there. Gosh Mia, how long would you do this for? Not respond to me when I need you?" I turned to the right and spotted a picture of my kids hanging on the wall and hot tears filled my eyes "I miss my babies" wiping my eyes and reminding myself that it wasn't time to cry, I gave each of the images a kiss and turned the knob to my door. Entering my room, I looked at myself in the full-length mirror and realized how messed up I looked. Putting it accurately, I looked like a tired chicken that fought the devil for its life. Slowly, I began to unbutton my shirt and wondered why I even decided to wear that to begin with. Still standing there, it hit me that Sullivan hadn't sent me a message or called which was highly unusual. I picked up my phone and looked at the time, it was 9:30 "Shit! He calls at 9:20 everyday" I thought out loud as I

    Ava's POVI sighed as I reached out to turn on the shower. A shiver ran down my spine as the icy cascade hit, and my swift retreat from the chilly stream was met with a startled gasp. "Shit, shit, shit." I never learned my lessons because every time I try to take a shower, it's either the extremely cold water or the hot one that pours out. "I think I have to write a note that says test the water with your hand before stepping under it."I picked up my lavender-scented shampoo as its fragrant wave enveloped the bathroom, transforming the mundane space into a sanctuary of soothing aromas. The floral notes lingered in the air, creating a serene atmosphere that captivated the senses and turned my routine act of washing my hair into a sensory indulgence. As I scrubbed, I gently reminded myself that this was my safe space; the only place I could forget everything that I was going through was my bathroom. Weird as that was, I loved every bit of bath time and took it very seriously as well. B

    Ava's POV"My kids have done nothing to you! You got me into this with coercion. I don't even know who you are or what your connection with Aiden is! So, you keep my kids out of harm's way, just like you've been doing. If anything happens to my kids, you'll feel the wrath of a mother! Do not, even for once, perceive my supposed helplessness for weakness. And you tell that to your boss!"I flung my phone to the other end of the bed and let out a long sigh. At that moment, I felt like running free and wild. I wished I could even run away, but I've been running all my life and it has never helped me. Now was the time to face my past head-on so it wouldn't affect mine or my children's future any more than it already has.I stared long and hard at the ceiling, probably hoping to find a solution up there, but nothing was forthcoming. I had just had a panic attack, and here I was talking to the same man I saw once at the bar. "Shit, my life really was a mess! Funny how we've both turned our

    Ava's POVHold on, was Logan thinking at all? He should automatically know that I didn't tell the police anything. At least I wouldn't be here if I did. What was he driving at?"Logan, what are you driving at?""What?""You asked if I told the police? What for?""Ohhh that, I was just practicing positive listening."That was a lie, and I knew it. I didn't know Logan well, but I could tell he was cooking something in his head at that moment."Logan, would you please excuse me? I need to put on some proper clothes. I'll meet you downstairs."He acknowledged he heard me with a nod of his head, and so he left and shut the door behind him. I stared at the door for a bit before standing up to get to my closet. I had to pass the full-length mirror before I could get to the closet. I had no intention of stopping, but my reflection looked horrific, so I stopped to look, and yes, I scared even myself. I didn't know how he managed to look at me while I was telling my story. I quickly looked for

    Jason's POVI woke up at 5 am and wondered why I was on the couch. Was I so tired from last night that I couldn't make it to my room? I got up, but then I realized I live alone. How did I even get a blanket? I looked around and figured out I wasn't at my house; I was at Ava's. I was glad I remembered; otherwise, I might have walked into her room thinking it was mine.Now that I knew where I was, I felt bad for sleeping when I shouldn't have. Ava even gave me a blanket, meaning she found me asleep. After thinking for about 10 minutes, I decided to go for a jog and leave a note saying, "Meet me at the Golden café by 12 noon. Don't be late!" I emphasized the "don't be late" part because time was always important to me.As I left Ava's house, the morning air woke me up. The path ahead was peaceful, with the sound of my footsteps blending with nature. The sun shone through the trees, creating shadows on the path. Jogging became a peaceful time for me to think, surrounded by nature's quiet.

"Wasn't our deal to make Logan confess his crimes?" she questioned, her disbelief evident.Aiden's laughter echoed through the room. "Oh, my dear Ava, you were a pawn in a much larger game. Our plans went beyond what you could see. We were using you all along."Ava's eyes widened, a mixture of shock and anger contorting her expression. She struggled against the guards, attempting to break free from the invisible chains that held her."No," she exclaimed, desperation lacing her voice.

Aiden, still chuckling, managed to straighten his disheveled shirt. "What if I told you those triplets are yours?" he sneered, reveling in my shock. I recoiled, disbelieving. "That's a lie! Ava would never have an affair with a bastard like you!" I retorted, my blood boiling. Aiden's laughter only intensified. "Oh, but Logan, what if we hear it from the horse's mouth?" he teased, his words dripping with malicious intent. In a blind rage, I drew a knife, the metallic glint reflecting the anger in my eyes. "You're lying!" I growled, my voice low and menacing. Aiden, seemingly unafraid, continued to taunt me. "What if Ava herself confirmed it? What if she admitted that those triplets are a product of our secret affair?" he jeered, the revelation slicing through me like a knife. Rage consumed m

Not for me, but for my wife, Ava. I had to show them I was stronger than they thought by getting up.It was like, "Come on, Logan, you can do this." I tried to get up, even though the ground was hard and my body felt heavy. I could see fuzzy forms moving as the world spun around me. There was talk, but it sounded like whispers from far away. "Ava needs me," I groaned. I can't let them keep me down." The pain was like a fire burning inside me, but I focused on my love for my wife. I had to get back on my feet. One of the guys—the one with the sneer—kicks me in the stomach with his foot. I gasped for air, feeling like all the wind got knocked out of me. I fell back to the ground, my body hurting all over.

    Logan’s POVI couldn't shake the unease settling in the pit of my stomach as I glanced once more at the mysterious man across the room. Ava's laughter and the clinking of utensils against plates filled the air, but my attention was fixated on the stranger, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding eye contact this time.Ava noticed the shift in my demeanor and reached across the table to gently touch my hand. "Logan, you seem really distant. Are you sure everything's okay?"I forced myself to smile, appreciating Ava's concern. "Yeah, just lost in thought. You know how it is sometimes." I didn't want to worry her further, but the weight of the unknown pressed on me.Ava studied me for a moment before nodding. "Okay, if you say so. But if there's anything you want to talk about, I'm here."Taking a deep breath, I decided to confide in Ava, albeit cautiously. "Actually, I did see someone earlier. A guy who seems to be watching us. It's probably nothing, but it's got me a bit on edge."Ava's

    Ava’s POVI couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur of the 5-star hotel as Logan and I stepped out of our car. The lobby was adorned with glittering chandeliers, and the marble floors reflected the soft glow of ambient lighting. The atmosphere exuded luxury and sophistication."Wow, this place is wonderful," I exclaimed, my eyes wide with awe.Logan nodded in agreement, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I know, right?" he said. "They have a really nice view, and their services are top-notch.""That's why I brought us here, babe," I replied with a grin, taking Logan's hand as we began walking towards the entrance of the hotel. The valet attendant quickly took charge of our car, allowing us to focus on the elegance that surrounded us."Hmm, that's nice," Logan remarked, glancing around as we entered the lobby.I continued to admire the opulence of the hotel, my gaze drawn to the artwork on the walls and the stylish furnishings.

That way, the workload won't be too much for him to handle." Ava nodded, appreciating the plan. "That's a thoughtful approach, Logan. It's good to consider everyone's well-being." Feeling a sense of relief, I continued, "Yeah, I want to make sure everyone is taken care of, especially during our absence." Ava's eyes lit up. "Well, it sounds like you've got everything under control, Logan. Now, I can't wait to spend this coming vacation with you and our little one." I smiled, knowing that Ava was looking forward to the vacation as much as I was. "It's going to be amazing, Ava. "It's the perfect time for us to relax and enjoy some quality family moments."

A break from all the stress and responsibilities," I suggested.She raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the idea. "A vacation? That sounds tempting. Where do you have in mind?" I asked.Ava grinned, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "How about a cozy cabin in the mountains? A place where we can disconnect from the pack and work, just focus on each other, and recharge."I considered the idea, a smile playing on my lips. "You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. We both need a break. The pack and work have been weighing us down lately."Ava nodded in agreement. "Exactly! We deserve some time for ourselves. It's been so stressful, and I can see it's taking a toll on you too.""A cozy cabin in the mountains does sound tempting, Ava," I said, my brow furrowed with thoughtful consideration.
