*
My mom had released my phone like two days ago and I couldn't be any happier. I was finally able to feel whole again if not drunk with happiness.
I had just finished from the bathroom and was still nervously pacing around my bedroom with a single towel wrapped around my body with another around my hair that was still dripping wet.
Carlos had called me like a minute ago that he was on his way to come pick me.
My parent agreed I could go on the date only if I agree to get home early before it late and I couldn't protest on it. I was totally grateful I was even allowed to go out in the first place.
Maybe it was because they realized how important
*Carlos and I arrived at this really fancy restaurant at the outskirt of town and I couldn't help but marvel at the building and its surrounding environment.I turned and raised a brow at him when I realized the kind of place he has brought us. I don't need to be able to speak Italian to know Carlos had brought us to one."Italian restaurant" I stated and he just nod in reply."Have you been here before?""No I haven't but_""_then you are going to love it""Yeah but this place look really expensive. Are you sure it's a good idea for us to eat here?,I mean we can just go someplace else you know. I won't mind at all"I start to protest but instead of agreeing with him, he just chuckled at me instead. I bet I sound really lame if not poor."It's okay Ava. You don
* Logan walked over to our table in a menacing way and stood staring at me while ignoring Carlos presence completely. I couldn't help but stare right into his eyes. It felt like I was drowning in them. I couldn't break eye contact with him either. I was beyond hypnotized. It was as if the air around me has been knocked right out of my lungs and I was left to breathe through his mere presence by my side. Gosh! He pulled out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and lit it. He held it up to his lip and took a long drag still maintaining eye contact with me. Logan chuckled dryl
* Carlos and I ended up at an ice cream booth and I couldn't stop blushing. He actually remembered the option I gave him the day he was asking me out on a date. "What!" "Ice cream really?" I asked, cocking a brow at him. "I do remember someone telling me she likes vanilla ice cream with extra topping" he answered, amusingly. Looking down at my hand, I answered sheepishly. "Yeah, you are right" "Come on then, let go get some for you" We walked up to a b
*Carlos and I were pretty inseparable for the next couple of days that followed. We texted every minute and second of each day. We even met up in secret places at every single opportunity we got and made out a lot too.It's been one crazy week since and to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way though. Carlos has been the best boyfriend so far. He makes sure to pick me from home to school and drops me after.We have bonded so well that I practically craves his presence these days and he in turn has been making out time for me too.I didn't even tell Kara about my sneaky rendezvous with Carlos which was very much unlike me, when normally I'd tell her about every single damn thing, as if she was my therapist.Well, I guess that's what best friends do. Tell each other things they wouldn't normally talk to their parent about.
*"O.M.G Ava" Kara had exclaimed in the most dramatic way ever, after I told her exactly how my date with Carlos went that night.And when i said everything?, i mean,every single damn thing that happened."I always knew, that Logan dude has a thing for you but I didnt realize it was enough for him to want to cause a scene after seeing you and Carlos together" Kara said with kneaded brows and began pacing around in circles. She act that way whenever she is nervous or thinking up shit in her head.I just hope she doesn't end up with headache from all that pacing because my head was starting to spin, just
*Carlos led the way with me trailing him from behind with pretty happy feet. Our hands still interlocked while we made our way through the sea of student scattered across the hallway.He kept stealing little glances at me as we continued to walk our way down the hall way and up the stairs with fast pace.I have no idea where he was taking me but I know I have got to trust him. We slipped through the corner and into one of the janitors room.I gasped in panic when he whirled around and pulled me into his chest all of a sudden."Are you ready?" he asked mischievously. Amusement playing at the corner of his lips.My heart was definitely racing at this point. My feet was becoming all jellyfish as well. I took a sharp intake of breath and exhaled slowly, then answered with a nod. "Just tell me already"I hated the suspense and the need to wait, just to figure something out. The uncertainty always freaks the shit
*Realization hit me hard and I quickly picked up my bag and push the door open only to find Logan leaning casually against the wall and staring back at me with a blank expression.He looked calm and very much in tune with himself. His pretty green orbs fixed gingerly at my approaching steps."What are you doing here Logan?" I asked, trying to sound as stern as possible.He scoffed at my question and pushed himself off the wall before closing the remaining distance between us. "I'm the one asking the questions today not you Ava""Oh?" My brow raised slightly at him.His eyes literally gave me a full body scan in that few minutes, making me pretty uncomfortable in my own skin.What's exactly is wrong with this boy
*"How?, how did you get that?" I practically jumped at him but he stepped all the way back and out of my reach in one swift move.I gave a frustrated groan and launched after him again."Give that back, right now" I demanded with a stumped feet and moved forward. Aiming for his chest but Logan darted out of my reach yet again.Putting some safe distance between us, he stood shaking his head from side to side in a really taunting way."Not so fast Avalon. You need to stay calm alright?. we have to talk about something really important"Arghh. I groaned even louder. My cheeks burning in anger and blood rushing through the tip of my ears."The only thing you and I,are gonna talk about right now, is you handing me back my necklace right after you explained how you managed to take it from me and nothing else" I sneered at him.Logan chuckled manically at me. I bet he was enjoying all of my frustration like never before. He was actu
*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
