The Arizona morning sun cast a beautiful light glow against my tan skin as I made my way into the office building the next morning, my heels clacking against the tile floor noisily.
It was just 7am and most of the workers were just starting to arrive in the ground floor as well and making the place a mini scuffling mess.
My hands tightened around the strap of my bag momentarily as I stepped into the machine and punch the floor number into the elevator and it began to move.
I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly trying to calm my nerves. The elevator seem to get to me every damn time plus my mind was already disturbed not knowing what to expect from Logan after last night ordeal.
I arrived at our floor and head over to my desk and dispatched my personal items on the table before proceeding to my boss's office.
Logan was expecting his cup of coffee and bagel as soon as I arrive so spending another minute at my desk doesn't sound like a go
*We made our way into the club and Logan excused himself to go receive a phone call outside while I proceeded towards the bar area and took a seat beside the counter.The whole place seem chaotic with terrible music playing in the background.In order not to get bored just waiting around, I retrieved my phone from my purse and turned on the screen and began to scroll through the internet, looking for what to amuse myself with.Few minutes went by and Logan had seem to disappear and I was still busy looking at the updates in my gram to kill more time when I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to face him.Guess someone finally remembered I have being waiting for him.Pssssshhhhh!Turns out it wasn't him when I looked into the face of the new fellow. He was just a drunk overbearing man whose arms were covered in tattoos and smiling really awkwardly at me.Oh no!"Hey sugar, what's a pretty girl like you doing at a bar al
*Logan and I drove back to my apartment in total silent. Neither of us willing to say a word to the other.And I for once was totally grateful for some peace and quiet while Logan on the other hand, kept clenching and unclenching his long slender fingers tightly around the steering wheel in utter frustration.What's his deal though! It's not like he was the one with a bloody nose or bursted lips yet he was acting all pissed and shit.Psssshhhhhh!The car came to a stop in front of my apartment and I got down without sparing him another glance and he didn't even try to say anything or stop me either.I didn't even make it to the top pavement of the building before I heard his car engine roared back to life before driving away.My stomach sank a little bit in disappointment as I stood there staring at him drive by.A sigh slipped through my mouth and I reach over to caress at my bracelet but found it missing.Shoot!
*Logan's POVI drove towards home in total silent after dropping Ava off back at her apartment. I wanted so bad to say something to her, maybe apologize for putting her at risk but couldn't.At least, not while she was barely looking at my direction during the drive home. I was still raging mad just recalling how she tried to stop me from beating the crap out of that man.I wanted nothing more than to break every single limp in that man's body back at the club earlier.He dared to touch her.That creep fucking lay his filthy hands on her.I just knew something was up when Sam wouldn't stop whimpering in my head and pulling me back to go check up on her.To think that I was gone for just fifteen fucking minutes while trying to sort out an incident over the phone would have being a joke.Turns out,there had being an accident with the last set of shipment from Italy and no one cared to inform me until the very last d
Ava's POV*I had just fifteen minutes left to go down and grab lunch and head back and finish off the paper work I was handling before 4pm.I was practically working my ass off just so i could spend time with kara and her boyfriend without looking over my shoulders at pending piles of files that would be waiting for me the next day at the office.Blowing off a stray of loose strain of hair from my face, I took a long sigh feeling all exhausted and famish. I glanced over at Logan's direction, wondering if he was still in there or sneaked out while I was not looking.The fact that he could very much see everyone from the comfort of his office yet no one can't see him from our end is pretty unfair. He made sure only him can successfully spy on others without looking like a creep.Pssshhhhhh!Logan has been acting weird all day, just hiding away in his office. I wonder if he was doing it on purpose just to avoid me or he was still broodi
*Once it was closing hour, I grabbed my stuffs and began to hurry outside the building. I was running a little bit late for my own birthday party.I needed to rush back to the apartment for a quick shower and a change of clothes before meeting Kara and Cooper. I haven't seen them since they arrived in town.I still could not believe, Kara had successfully dragged Cooper along as well because of me. They seemed to be the only people available to hang out with me.I would have loved to invite Carlos and Lily as well but I still haven't reached out to him just yet so I doubt he is aware am even here or if today was even my birthday.Mom had almost cried me a river when we face time earlier. They both had plans to come around for my big eighteenth but turns out Dad had just secured another job and couldn't afford to ask for a week leave.I got to the apartment and showered just as quickly after which I pulled on my white T-shirt and black skinn
*"You are not allowed to dance, touch, kiss or even think about fucking that guy or anyone else that isn't me, am I clear?"He growled at me and I just kept backing away from his intruding presence until my back made contact with the wall and i stopped, his arms caging me between him and the wall.Pssshhhhh!The naked rage in his eyes was enough to make the fight in me turn to visible beads of sweat but I was not about to be intimidated by him or anyone else.Like I said earlier, this was my night, not his and I can do whatever the heck I so please and I don't need his permission to do that.A little angry scoff escaped my lips and squared my shoulders and shot him a hard glare."You have no claim over me Logan. I can very much do whatever the heck I want and with whomever I choose to, so don't you dare talk to me like you freaking own me because you don't" I gushed out at him breathlessly.My hands reached o
*We arrived at my apartment and I pushed the door open and began to make my way inside not sparing him a single glance.Not that I didn't want to but because I was starting to feel really restless and uncomfortable.I could tell that tequila is about to knock me hard to the ground so I better make it to my bed before it does."Wait Ava" His voice called at me and I paused and looked over my shoulders and back at him.He looked really trouble.Is it just me or Logan was starting to over react because I don't think am mad at him any longer."Please let me look at your shoulder" he tried to take hold of my arm and I shrugged him off."Leave me alone and go home alright?. I just want to be alone"Throwing his hands up in surrender, he took a step away from me and began to back away, one foot after the next."Alright fine but call me if you need me Okay?""Okay" I replied him with a nod.He t
*By the time I made it to the hospital in a taxi. I was already seeing and hearing things.I could literally hear people arguing from miles away, not to mention, perceiving the sweet aroma of cooked steak and sausage from the restaurant from across the street as the car drove by.At this point, I was totally convinced that something horrible was wrong with me and it has everything to do with this terrible ache on my shoulder.Gosh!I just hope the doctors will be able to fix me or treat whatever infection the stupid bite was turning into because I can't take it anymore.I dragged myself through the entrance and over to the counter and registered my information with the lady behind the desk before proceeding to wait for my turn by the chair in the corner just like everyone else who had gotten there before me.My phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since I got here but I couldn't take it out or even look at it.I could barely focu
*Six years later **I stood beside the bed in my room facing the open window as I stare into the near distance, as people in the pack went about their daily activities. It's really a beautiful sight seeing how much have changed in just six years. I'm not just talking about the structures here but the people as well. Even the moon goddess seem to be in agreement with more wolves starting to find their mates from night claw pack unlike before.Even Judah and Alana finally admitted that they like each other and it wasn't just the hate and fight. It wasn't exactly surprising given how much time those two spend going at each other throats, it's only fair that they could fail that fiercely in love with each other as well.I inch closer to the window when i saw a newly mated couple emerging from the tree line where they had gone for a run and sighed. I haven't been able to shift and go dashing between the trees myself since I got pregnant again with our third child yet again. The mid day
Ava's POV*Once in my room. I quickly changed into a short summer dress, the color of baby pink and then free my hair from the pins holding it back in place with a relief sigh."Avalon dear, are you alright?" I heard my mother's voice before she slip into the room and heave a relief sigh when she saw me retouching my make up a bit."I'm fine. Just came to change real quick before meeting everyone again""Congratulations Miwa" She cooed into my ear as she pulled me into her arms. I sigh and held her closer before my eyes flick open again.I pulled away suddenly with a raised brow, "Miwa?""That's what your father used to call you. You were a gift from the moon goddess and he always acknowledged that. I guess he is smiling down at how much you have grown and even more so, a woman""Yeah, I guess so"I pull her into another hug with my eyes closed. "Thank you so much for everything. I won't be here today if not for y
*Logan's POVEvery single breath got knocked out of my lungs the moment my eyes dwell on Avalon and her father walking down the aisle and towards me.I couldn't help it as my eyes scan from the crown of her head and down to the soul of her feet. She looked perfect, breath taking even or I won't be here trying to catch my breath.Though her face was hidden behind the veil, I could still picture her rosy lips in a thin line with her brows kneaded together in a nervous way. I couldn't be wrong, judging from the way her hand grip her bouquet of flowers. I could tell she was just as nervous as I was.I could still remember the first time I lay eyes on her back in that hallway in school. Brown hazel eyes filled with so much curiosity stared into mine as though she could see through my very soul. I felt a shift in my destiny when our body made contact even though it was just for a second.The freckles around her cheeks looked so surreal yet, it wa
*"C'mon Ava, you have to get dressed and stop fussing with those damn flowers" Alana scolded me with a frown, standing beside me in a slim fit outfit that matches perfectly with her eyes."Go on girl, you better hurry up now. Logan looks like he is about to pass out, out there. Cooper just texted me" Kara said, coming into the room and beautifully dressed in her maid of honor outfit."I'm glad someone else have noticed" Alana sighed before going to help my mother and Lily take out the cake to the venue.Lily and my mother had just finished adding the final touch on the pink and white cake. It took them three days to get it done and I can't even tell you how proud I really am with those two.I have just twenty minutes left to get dressed,fix my hair and do my make up as well. Thank God for Kara whose expert hands were seriously getting at it already.Fifteen more minutes, I was out of my bathed robe and into my wedding gown and kara had fini
*Different color of freshly picked roses and white lilies trail the hallway and more in the front porch as preparation for my big day draw nearer.My best friend Kara and my parent will be arriving in a day or two and I can't wait to see them again. I haven't seen neither of them in eight freaking months and in those same time frame, a lot has changed. I can totally say am not that girl who left home in pursuit of the truth anymore.A lot has happened that changed how I saw and perceived things and people in general but no matter how much I have grown, I will forever be my parent little girl. I could still remember their reaction over the phone when I told them I was getting married and needed them to come over as soon as possible.*flashback *"What do you mean, you are getting married sweetie" my mom's voice more than screeched at me.She took a deep dramatic pause and then continued, "We haven't seen you in months, only
*I cock a brow at him and he sighed, his expression giving away nothing."Go on and spill it out" I pressured. "I know you want to say something so go ahead and say it already"."Look, I don't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with him but you have to stop feeling guilty over what happened to Carlos. I don't know the extent of your powers and how much control you have over it but what happened isn't your fault. You gave him a choice but he took the hard way so you can't be blame for saving the people you love and care about""You really think so?"He answered with a nod then continued, "I know I shouldn't be saying this but I grew up with Carlos as my best friend and even though we always hang out in high school just like you remembered, we never agreed on a lot of things and that include him being impulsive and hell bent on having his way and just like he said, he really did regret making me your Sol even though you picked me yourself.
*It's been three days now since Logan regained consciousness. He is almost whole again but still weak and his wound a little tender but healing just fine. He is nearly his old self again.After that crazy night of sex between us, Logan still thinks it was a dream even though I told him it wasn't. Just looking into his green eyes make me realize how truly blessed I am. Everything is just starting to fall perfectly in place.For the past days now, I feel like I have done nothing but have sex with him and sleep like a log of wood. Something that can be blame largely on the pregnancy. Werewolf pregnancy can leave someone feeling more weak than a normal human.This pregnancy has made my bond with Logan even stronger than it was before even though he doesn't know the whole truth, he thinks my reaction to him is because of what happened to him. I literally feel depressed and pissed off when he is far from me and can't get enough of him when we are togethe
*After over ten minutes of just seating there in the ruin my room has now become with low heart beat pounding softly in my chest."Are you okay?" I heard my mother's voice jolting me a little. I nodded stiffly before turning to face her. She is the only one left in the room with me and Logan at this point."I'm fine Mom, you should go rest" I told her with a smile and she nod and proceed to rubbing away the pain at the back of her neck. Thank God there was no swelling when I looked at it earlier. Just a little bruises at the point she was hit and am sure, it will heal just fine.There was a moment of silence before I heard her voice again, "I saw what you did to Carlos. Do you want to talk about it?"A little sigh escaped my mouth as I look down at my clasped hands seating against my laps. "I don't know if I did the right thing by leaving him in that state but at that moment, all I could think about was dominating and disarming him completel
*Recap *I tried to go to him but Carlos beat me to it as he quickly stood over him with a silver dagger, directly to his heart."Take another step and I promise not to miss his heart this time"*I closed my eyes and swallowed hard, trying my possible best to stay calm, mainly because Carlos still had that blade too dangerously close to Logan's chest. When I open my eyes again, I had a bit of control over myself as I stare back at him. My lips forming a thin line in annoyance."What do you want Carlos?" I sneered back at him through gritted teeth.He snorted at my question but answered either way, "I want my pack back and also for you to kill that traitor standing beside you for switching on me. I should have killed him that day but looks like luck was on his side" he ended with a glare at Silas direction and i heard him growl under his breath as he took a stance beside me still."How about you be a man and come do it yourself
