2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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

When he opened it, he was greeted by whoever that was behind the door before receiving the items I had requested for.Wide eyed, I stared at the equipments in his hand. "How... How did they know that we were in need of those?"Aiden let out a chuckle at the look on my face. A sound that went straight to my body, warming me up."I mind-linked Lory." He stated simply.I wasn't getting the grasp if everything. "You mind-linked Lory? What's that?"He grinned as my expression became more animated with curiosity. "It's a Wolf thing love. Every pack member's mind is connected to the Alpha and vis versa for emergency situation and oh well, situations like this too."I was stunned and impressed by his words. "So, it helps you people communicate faster?"He nodded. "Yes.""Awesome!" I exclaimed, eagerly moving closer to him like a child drawn to a candy store. "Are there other things Werewolves can do too?"Aiden found my fascinat

By the time I was done with my last lecture for the day, the once quiet house was buzzing with good natured noise.Curious and bored of being by myself, I switched my comfortable clothes which was a sweat pants and tank top which I wore after taking a quick shower when I and Aiden had put the office in a conducive shape and changed to something presentable.By something presentable, I meant one of my newest skinny jeans and an emerald crop-top.I reddened as I remembered Aiden's comment of green being my color since it matched my eye color and brought out it's beauty.I snapped sense into my brain.After our conversation at the office which started off as light and friendly to straight up awkward, we had continued working in silence.Honestly, I didn't know how to act around him. It was like everything we said always came back to talks about mates and that was awkward as hell.Walking by the floor length mirror in my room, I noticed my hair was an image of a poorly crafted bird nest.

It has been two days since the perimeter breach and the surprise response from Athinai set Titan land into rolling motion.The elite guards commenced their guard at all parts of Titan borders and went ahead to recruit more guards, which surprisingly, worked as there were more men and women every morning who willingly volunteered to be guards.The news on Poppy was positive, albeit, her attempt at recovery was slow, but the last time I saw her, her skin didn't look all that pale, however she still looked like she was deep in slumber. Ted on the other hand was less hostile, but hadn't uttered words of apology to Aiden or any other person and that was okay. We let him handle his grief his way.What was more interesting however, was that Titan land was on a roll in preparing a welcome feast for the Luna and said ruler of Athinai. Erin and Sarla had gushed about her, with extra emphasis on the fact that she never sided with any pack during war and was always ne

If terror hung in the air seconds ago, it was nothing compared to the chaotic mess that was Soul Kitchen at the moment.Ever since Ted, Poppy's boyfriend made his way into the diner and saw his girlfriend in a pale mess, he had totally lost it. Now, we watched on, with Freya and Kate still bawling their eyes out, as the elite guards tried to calm the raging teenager down."She's not dead Ted," Sarla's sweet voice tried to reason as Ben and Eric held the boy down. "She's going to be alright okay? Just calm down.""Were you all waiting for something to happen before you swing into action?" He sneered, before casting a glare Aiden's way. "Or will your useless asses wait for someone to die before the Alpha decides to take action!"Asher took a step forward at his words, but Aiden held him back. "I know you are grieving boy. However, I won't condole it if you talk brashly at the Alpha."Ted scoffed, his sandy blonde hair looking so dishevelled

"What?" I asked Aiden who had his eyes glued to my every move as he walked me to my shift at Soul Kitchen.The smile was still dancing on his lips as he took my hands into his, obliviously playing with my fingers. "We should do this often.""You mean go for long walks?" I asked, as he now swayed our hands back and forth.He paused, looking as if he was contemplating on my words. "That too. But I'm talking about visiting the beauty house."I nodded immediately, concurring with him while we shared a smile. "That is definitely a great idea."I loved moments spent with Aiden like this. Everything felt so normal. I'm not speaking about the fact that he is a Werewolf. I'm talking about the whole problem with Colossus or a possible rogue pack that is out for blood. The little time we spent together today has taken my mind off things, I hope it has done same for Aiden. Somehow, I don't even know how it started, but seeing Aiden happy also puts me in a good mood. It was like telepathy. If Aid

Whoever said having a massage was a vain thing, surely hasn't tried it before.I sat beside Aiden on a lounge chair at the waiting room of the clothing store, feeling like a big sack of jelly. Aiden on the other hand looked perfectly fine as he gazed at me with an amused expression.I guess he had perks of being a Werewolf and all that. However, this massage felt like one of the best things ever. I felt like every knot on my body has been loosened and my body was floating on air.I could feel no cramps and it felt like I had a good sleep on a very comfortable bed. My lingering headaches were gone and I hoped that Aiden got the same feeling too.The past week was very stressful for him and part of the reason why I suggested we get on the massage chair was because he really needed to de-stress."You feeling any changes in your body?" I asked as I took him in.He smiled, eyes not straying from mine as he nodded. "Definitely."We he

Meeting Aiden and coming to Titan land, there were two things I had learnt; life was sure full of surprises.I couldn't hold back my gasp as I stared at the sight before me. A building made totally of glass that wasn't translucent but was aesthetically pleasing, divided into segments that had colorful neon signs indicating what each segment was for.Above the tall building was a beautiful, silver carved sign that read. TITAN BEAUTY HOUSE.I couldn't stop myself from giggling as I felt giddy with excitement. I never knew a place like this existed in Titan land. It looked like something out of a Disney movie. Sparkling and really pleasing to the eyes."I like it!" I let out without being asked, while Aiden took my hands into his, once more."You haven't even seen the best part yet love." He assured as we made our way in.A fruity and refreshing smell greeted me as we walked in, which had me taking in a deep breath. It smelt like paradise in there."Good day Alpha." A Raven haired beauty

My heart was still beating loudly as I stared at Aiden who was busy talking to one of the workers at the plantation.Did I get to have my long overdue tour of Titan? Yes.Did I get to talk about the toe curling kiss I shared with Aiden in his room moments ago? No.All I got was another toe curling smile that did not go easy with its effects on my heart and that darn line."I've been wanting to do that." Who says things like that after a toe curling, heartstring pulling kiss and just acts like nothing happened. Instead, he had taken my hand and had gone ahead to assure that he always kept his promise.Thus, here we are, the same place I had stood with Gus weeks ago. The only difference is that Aiden was being thorough. He was making sure that the patient farmer would answer my every question thoroughly.That was the least of my concerns though. The tight shirt accentuating his body had me salivating and the way his jeans hugged his ass. From my view, Aiden looked like he was carved an

I waited for what felt like eons in my room after grabbing a nice picnic basket and arranged cookies, fruits and drinks in them.Lory had figured out my plan even before I said a thing.I planned on making Aiden de-stress.This past week had been one hell of a ride for everyone on Titan, but especially for him. That was why I wanted to help him take his mind off Colossus, rogue packs or whatever it is that was stressing Titan.I didn't know my way around Titan that much. Only soul kitchen, the hackberry tree and the plantation Gus had shown. This time, I was going to use two stones for one bird. Get my very much awaited tour of Titan and get Aiden to de-stress.When I heard voices coming from the corridor, I knew that Aiden was done with the guards, so I waited for every one of them to finish leaving before I made my way to Aiden.After waiting for what felt like forever and no other sound was heard from the corridor, I made my way to

"I should go." I voiced once Asher left, probably to give Aiden and I space.Aiden shook his head, while his arms still held on to me. "You know you can stay right."I let out an amused laugh. "As much as I like being in your arms Aiden, I wouldn't like anyone listening to you address them while we are in this position."There wasn't a response for a bit till, "You like being in my arms?"Of course, I almost groaned. Of all things I said, that was all he heard."Say it again love. You love being in my arms?" I was already beetroot at the moment.Playfully, I struggled to free Aiden off me while his body began shaking as he chuckled, probably finding my bashfulness amusing."I want to hear you say it again, love." He teased, slowly releasing me as he took in my face.I scrunched my nose, trying but failing

It has been a week since Aiden and I sent out invites to the neighbouring Packs and yet, we haven't gotten any feedbacks.We were all bothered, especially Aiden. Try as he might, he always appeared cool and calculating in the presence of his Pack, always wearing the strong and assuring facade because he has to make his Pack feel assured that everything was under control.However, I knew that all was not well with Aiden. The run-ins on the people of Titan keep on increasing and so far, a lockdown has been placed. The elite guards with their soldiers were at alert all the time, making sure that all bounderies were secured and that the people of Titan were safe.I was in Aiden's home office as I tried to listen through the tiny speakers of my airpods, as my biology lecturer further explained the workings of human cells. I knew I was paying little to no attention to what he was saying. My mind was drifting to the man at the other side of the room who was wearing a s
