"Honestly," I continued. "If it were under different circumstances, I would be happy to be your mate. But I have duties this time. Duties to myself. I come first and I am going to try my best to inculcate that into my mind. And until that is done, I do not think that I will be emotionally available for anyone."
"I respect your decision Ava." He said after a while.
I offered him a small smile. "Thank you."
"I don't know how long it is going to take for you to build yourself Ava. But, whenever you are ready, I hope you consider me and I want to let you know that I'll wait if you will have me."
His sincere words warmed my heart.
Really, Aiden was such a gentleman.
Most times, he seemed so good to be true. And I had only known him for a few hours.

I wasn't sure I did well in my biophysics test.And that would have bugged me into restlessness as soon as I submitted my paper. But that was the least troubling thought I was battling.All I could think of and found hard to process was that I was in danger and was partially on the run.I'd never had a reason to hide or even, feel endangered before. My constant troubles since I lost my parents was how to pass a test, an exam and how to juggle my part-time jobs in order to make time for Grandma and my studies.Now, my worries weren't in any way basic. Rather I was worried about some unknown wolf desperate to have my head on a spike.Although Aiden had asked me to move in with him till I was finally safe and I had agreed, I still found it all to be new. At first, it felt like it was merely a joke or even, a bad dream that I was bound to wake up from. But the look on Aiden's face had husked out such thought.It was merely a joke. I was in

I loved new Ava.Was all I could think about even as some students stared at me as I walked out on Scott. I was so proud of what I had done. So proud that I stood up for myself and owned my actions.I did not know how I was going to be from now on. Obviously, there would be psychological and emotional consequences of all Scott had done to me and I would have no other choice than to face them and I would, head on, with my head held high because I had done the the critical part which is facing Scott head on and getting rid of him.Outside, the afternoon sun was just making an appearance. Warming up the whole place in the process.I felt a smile blossom on my lips. Even the weather was on my side.A car honked immediately, catching my attention.Just across the road, the red Royce Rolls was pulled up, its open windows, letting me get a he

The saying; What would be, would be has never been more befitting of my situation. I was back to the same place I'd been so adamant on leaving in the first place. Back to seeing the beautifully lined rolls of houses and the large mansion that was Aiden's home. Now that I was seeing it in broad daylight, it felt so charming and very pleasing to my eager eyes. The large building dwarfed the other buildings in a pretty fitting way, like a king stood over his subordinates easily, without taking away the charm of the pretty lined houses. The tarred lanes and beautifully trimmed flowers which stood aesthetically in a row took my breath with it . Everywhere was beautiful and calming. A stark contrast to the normal chaos I was used to living in. It was like this world was a whole different one from the one I lived in. The air was fresh and devoid of any sort of pollution. The grasses seemed greener and livelier and the surrounding was emitting an easy

The dining room was stacked with several people who I guessed were all wolves. Somehow, I had ended up sitting by Aiden's right side and just beside him, with Layla and Asher opposite me. Yet, even in the presence of familiar faces I was a nervous wreck. Everyone, I mean up to five new faces I haven't seen before were all staring at me with curious gazes. Even as Aiden had gotten their attention, they still stared at me. I breathed in and out again. Calm down Avalon. They are merely curious. Reaching for the coffee dispenser that housed a very tempting, freshly brewed coffee, Aiden beat me to it when I thought he wasn't paying attention to me since he was busy conversing with Asher. He half filled my mug with the tempting coffee, just the way I liked it. Before going ahead to pass me a toast, that had been sprayed with jam. Also the way I preferred to take mine. I was dumbstruck for a second. When had he taken note of a

I took the piece of paper and stared at the scribbled number them."Thank you Layla. I will."She narrowed her eyes playfully. "For real Ava. You better call me. Don't just say it to get me off your back. Promise?"Laughing, I nodded. Layla was such a character. "Promise I will.""Okay." She stood up, straightening her clothes. "Also, if you need other things, you can also tell Aiden which should be obvious to you, by now.""Aiden? But he should be at work."She smiled knowingly. "Oh he is at work alright."I raised a brow at the look on her face."Aiden is currently working from home Ava. He ordered that all works should be taken back here. So, feel free to roam around a little and stumble into his room." She winked. "If you know what I mean."I reddened while she chuckled."You are such an expressive person Ava." She cooed. "See you later?""Sure." I nodded, standing to see her to the door. "Be safe."

At first, I felt disappointed and then relieved.Although there was a strong physical attraction that could rival magnetic pulls between us. I knew I wasn't ready for anything.I breathed out slowly as he moved away. "I told you not to apologise for nothing Ava." His voice was gravelly with wanton desire, but his eyes mirrored amusement. And that combination did nothing to soothe my own raving needs."I'm so-" I cleared my throat, almost face palming myself. "I'll stop now."Aiden chuckled before taking my small hands into his large ones. "Would you like to see my home office?"I nodded, feeling relieved that he has quickly moved to another topic."Sure.""Just a second," he said, disappearing into what looked like a walk-in closet, while I was left to briefly admire the masculine elegance of his room. Its fresh scent and calming ambiance.He was out in a moment. Now fully covered up."Shall we?" He led the way out of his room and into the large hallway."How did your lecture go?" He

The room smelt of old books and dust. That was the first thing I noticed when we walked in. Then the laid back vibe of an old library. It was dim inside, the only source of light coming from the stray rays of light that escaped the clutches of the thick brown draperies. I turned to face Aiden who was standing behind me, an expectant look on his handsome face. "You work in a place like this?" He nodded, oblivious to what I was talking about. "Yes... Is anything the problem?" "Doesn't it feel suffocating in here," I gestured to the thick draperies. "Look, you barely have enough air getting in." He brushed my concern off. "I get lost in work that I always forget to ease out the draperies." I trailed my finger along the edges of his desk, raising it for him to see the dirt from the dust it had gathered. "What about cleaning? You could get anyone in here to have this place cleaned out Aiden. You should work in a

I felt so hot and bothered under his hypnotizing gaze. My breathing was almost becoming laboured as he held my gaze.Denying it would make me a liar. I felt all those and more.The feelings I had whenever I was in his presence were enough to drive me insane. It was indecipherable and overwhelming... I had never felt such way in my twenty one years of existence.It was like he was made for me with the way he could activate the feelings inside me with a touch or mere look like he was doing at the moment.It felt like I could combust from his mere gaze. His warmth seeped out of him, sending out an electric feel of his body close to me.I realized that I was in fact, helplessly burning with an overwhelming need for him.It was that same moment that I realized I was now sitting on his strong and thick thighs which also sent his sizzling warmth through my body."I..." I began, not knowing how to address the issue at hand. I coul
