I gave a careless shrug. "Then you should really use it at this point because your black makeup is all over your pretty face" I told her quite frankly.
I noticed her shoulders grow tense almost immediately at my word and it made me regret telling her the truth in the first place.
The last thing I wanted was to make her feel like she was looking less pretty because that would be a total lie.
Smeared mascara or not, she was still the most prettiest girl I have seen in a while and I doubt a little bit of tears and weird makeup gone wrong was gonna change any of that view anytime soon.
Ava looked so fragile with red puffy eyes due to how much she must have cried before I showed up. I hate prying at her private life. It's not like she ever makes it easy for me. It's even safe to say, she hates my very presence. I can't even blame her. Carlos already had her smitten under his charm like a little kitten.
When i saw her crying, it to
*I woke up the next morning and dragged myself out of bed and went to shower and got dressed for school before hurrying down to meet my mom in the kitchen for breakfast."Good morning mom" I kissed her across the cheeks and tried to sound as cheerful as possible. She gave me a quick glance before focusing on her cooking.It smells like fresh coffee and pancakes around here and I can't wait to have a bite."Morning sweetie. You slept okay?""Yes I did"Well I wished that answer was true and not me lying through my teeth, sleep happens to be one luxury I couldn't afford throughout last night no matter how hard I tried.A cup of some of that black coffee is what am gonna be needing to keep me on my feet in school today or I'd be toast.As if she could read my mind, she flipped two pancakes into another plate and passed it to me across the kitchen island while I poured myself a cup of coffee.I settled down on the stool and
*Even though class was ongoing, my mind was pretty much making the rounds elsewhere that doesn't involved American history or anything Mrs. Miller was talking about at the moment.Carlos was no doubt a douche and might have hurt me with everything he did but I realized, I haven't been exactly honest with my feelings either. Heck, I am to blame for most part as well.What exactly was I even expecting, that everything was just gonna be all vanilla ice creams and kisses till we get out of high school and then realize there is more to life than sneaking around behind closed doors?If truth be told, i was merely infatuated with the idea of dating him when he pretty much asked me to be his girlfriend. My whole sense were pretty much lost in the depth of his piercing blue ocean eyes, causing me to see nothing but fireworks while he kept tickling my fantasy with his words and making every single star in my universe sparkles for him.
You know that one moment in a person's life when they feel like nothing can ever make them feel jealous because all the feelings they thought they had for their ex had successfully being buried deep at the back of their mind, but turns out it hasn't and suddenly came crashing down on them when they least expected, at the very sight of him with another girl.Yup!, That's me right now in that very heart wrecking situation and let me tell you how that feels, like fucking hell.Heck!You know, i didn't think my heart was gonna bleed blood at the very sight of Carlos and Lily holding hands at school the next day nor did I think, I was going to have to avoid them in other to save my sanity.I mean,What the heck was i thinking when i let him go, thinking it was a fucking great idea because he loves someone else and not me and i could totally deal with that very fact like a pro.PsssshhI should have known, rocks was gonna
*The next day, Kara and i arrived at this really expensive shop at King's avenue and just by a single look, one could tell how crazily expensive buying anything from this shop was gonna be.It was obviously made for the rich and elite to fit their fancy lifestyle no doubt but Kara had somehow managed to get her attorney of a father to hand over his precious credit card for the whole day without much protest, which was exactly what Kara had in mind.A free spending expenditure.We went through rakes of designer clothes and selected a few before heading into the fitting room for kara to try on.Kara took a deep breath and stepped in front of the mirror with tense shoulders, her face breaking into a nervous little smile.Turning from side to side, Kara continued to admire herself in the mirror with a smile on her face while I quietly observe from the side with my fingers crossed, while holding my breath in anticipation.The
*My heart skipped an unhealthy beat when I catch a glimpse of Carlos and Lilly at the far end of the hall. They looked so cute together, with matching blue outfit and shit. Speak of a perfect prom date.Pessssssh!I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly through the mouth a few times then stopped and squared the shoulders with a new kind of energy rushing through my veins.Okay Ava, you can get through this night just fine, now chin up and smile._yup, that's me right there giving myself that prep talk I was in total need of.And with that new flow of energy, i chin up and began to smile at some of my classmates who were smiling at me too, while making sure I notice one designer item on them or the next.Pssssh, speak of immaturity and the freaking need to show off so badly.After a while and making sure to keep out every negative thought from my head and breath in all the positive, I was able to relax and just ch
Logan's POV With the music playing softly in the background, I continued to sway our body to the rhythm of the song. Our heart rates starting to beat as one. I know this much because I could feel her pulse, picking up really fast under my touch. Her whole body was rigid at first touch but after a while, she began to relax and just be in tune with the flow of our body as she let me guide her movement through every string of guitar like I fucking owned every bit of it. The world around us no longer existing at this point as everything else, just seemed to fade out and all that was left is just us two, breathing in the same air and dancing to the sound of music. I pulled away from her slightly and whirled her a little bit before pulling her back in. Her heaving chest, perfect against mine, still rocking slow and steady, while i savor every bit of the moment like, it's all we have left. And with the way her body seemed to be respond
*Ava's POVI began to hurry away from Logan and that stupid bitch with my fingers coiled into a tight fist before am tempted to punch her right in the middle of that stupid face of hers.Freaking Skank?She dared to referred to me as a skank?Haah!If there is any one with an attitude of a fucking skank between the both of us tonight, then it was totally her and not me, with that freaky looking dress she was putting on.I mean, who put on an all round yellow dress on yellow then goes around looking like the sun in summer.No wonder, Logan had to run away from her scary ass at the last minute before the dance.Pssssh!I didn't ask Logan to come dance with me. I was perfectly fine on my own before he came out of nowhere with that charming little smile of his.Damn, why do I even think, that stupid smile of his was anything but charming. I must be getting all delusional again or something
*Even though it's sounded more like a faint whisper coming from behind the door, I still heard it loud and clear.I looked around but found no one in particular. I mean, it would have being anyone right?. The house was buzzing with teens from every damn angle so why am I even surprised, that one of them knows my name.But why the hell was that dude jerking off my name or am i getting it all wrong.Gosh!With my hand placed on the doorknob, I was ready to get in there and probably give whoever that freak is, a piece of my mind but before I could do it, the door cracked open by itself, revealing none other than pretty eyes and red barbie hair staring back at me.What. The. Heck!Let me rephrase that statement, Logan wasn't just staring at me like he had just seen a ghost but his jawline won't stop clenching so tightly and, red slutty hair barbie was still busy adjusting the top of her dress to cover off her half exp
*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
