She wondered if Ava could be a new threat to her carefully knitted plans to win Sebastian back. She would nip this in the bud."Oh, Sebastian, don't be so harsh. I think Ava could be...useful to me."Ava stopped on her tracks, her eyes narrowed, sensing a trap. "What do you mean?"Lila's smile grew wider. "I mean, I will hire you as my personal assistant for a week. I just got a modeling contract today and I need to prepare. You can help me with my schedule, and...other tasks." Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Lila, I don't think that's a good idea."But Lila waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, don't worry, Sebastian. I can handle Ava. And who knows, maybe she'll surprise us."Ava hesitated, unsure of Lila's motives. But the promise of high pay and the chance to gain insight into Denizens Pharmaceu

He felt a stirring within him, a desire he couldn't ignore.Ava, sensing his gaze, smiled to herself. She knew she had his attention, and she was determined to keep it. She would teach him today, not to mess with seemingly weak beings. If he had not rejected her when mated to him, things would have been different between them. They would have held their mating ceremony by now and she would have grown in love with him, supporting him and ruling their back as a good Luna. She wondered how Sarah could leave him alone to come on this journey. Was she also performing some Luna duties? Or…maybe she was already carrying a pup!
