Ava."Darwin says you're a nice girl." Zenobia, Darwin's mother said, placing a slice of chocolate cake on my plate. She was beautiful and looked, without doubt, too young to have given birth to someone as old as Darwin. She looked like she was still in her twenties with the fairest of skin and most infecting smile ever. Looking at her, being cheerful and forever young, I was starting to think I might've been better as a vampire than a werewolf. "Did he?" I glanced over at Darwin where he sat across the hall, sipping on his wineglass while a gang of youngsters crowded him. He held his usual cold and intimidating look that made it seem like he knew everything that was going on in every other person's head. Well, maybe he knew. I couldn't help but notice how attractive he was, even when doing nothing. Even with that straight face and cold look, he still looked irresistible. "Yes. Usually, he would go for ladies that are several years older than him. When he told me I would like you,
Ava. "Nakayla, are you alright?" Halsey stood up worriedly as I stomped back to their booth. He rushed forward to me and caught my drunk self in his arms but I didn't want him to hold me longer. I struggled and tried to writhe free from his grip. I desperately wanted to question Adele."I didn't intend to get her drunk but she kept pushing further." Renata said behind me. She fisted the sides of her skirt fearfully beside me and tore it, even. The wine was weird_ it heightened my senses and made me pay attention to these things. Or I was tipsy, really."You're just some bad news, aren't you?" Adele scowled at Renata as she stood up with the rest of the guys. "Why are you even here? You should just disappear like you've always done." That was harsh. Definitely, it wasn't just about the drink. "T... This has nothing t..to do with our fight. I.. just came here for fun and..." Renata stuttered pitifully. Yoshimi stepped in their middle and grabbed her before she could resume her state
Ava.The way he called my name...The way those words sounded helplessly seductive leaving his lips despite the menace they were meant to pass. No one ever talked to me like that or made me feel this way_ submissive and rendered to their will. I wrapped my hand around it and tried to imitate those adult actresses when they give a handjob. I could barely get my hand around the whole of it but I made do with what I could hold. He was... fucking huge. Now, the more I thought about it, the more it felt like he really meant all those threats he gave me about fucking me till I could no longer move. "Come here now. Open your mouth better." He held the back of my head and brought me even closer. I needn't be told to take off my hands, I was perhaps doing it the wrong way. He put his erection into my mouth and held my jaw firmly. With his two hands holding my head, I couldn't move back or stop him if I wanted to. I rolled my eyes up to him and saw that a corner of his lips was curled up as he
Ava."Ava, how's married life?" Eric asked, drawing a stool by my side. He'd finally done what I had expected him to do_ come over and practice his silly interviewing skills. I nodded inattentively and rolled my eyes to his friends' booth. Eric moved around with a bunch of self obsessed gamblers who drank all day and partied all night. He was the most silly among them, with more bravery than sense and that's why each time he made some big money, he always ended up losing it in that one night and never left the club until he was drained of cash. And again, he had proven his stupidity before me. Change was surely a hard thing. "It's better than being drained in debts all my life, Eric. We should talk of when you're finally going to pay up all your debtors or if you're actually here to borrow some from me now." Of course, I had no fucking money but I knew Oakley Backwoods too much. Here, words went around faster than the wind and even a day old infant must've known that I had married
Ava."She is going to be fine. It looks like she'll come out of her sleep soon enough and you'll be able to talk to her." That voice wasn't very familiar but my senses had gotten better and the spinning headache that I had been struggling with had gone. It was a relief. The only thing I had to fight now was this numb feeling and the darkness that enveloped me. I felt limp and helpless. "How long is she going to be asleep?" That voice belonged to father, or it just sounded similar to his. Even if I was on my deathbed, I wouldn't expect him to miss a game to visit. I couldn't recollect what exactly had happened. The last thing I remember was dressing up as a maid and sneaking out of the palace. I had run all the way to the fields and managed to get help from a local jackal. It had been a miracle but I couldn't be bothered to think much about it. I had gone to the palace with Jared, only to find out it was only a trick to lure me into their trap. The rest of the incident had eluded my
Ava."Ava, how are you?" Zayn asked as he and the rest of the gangs except Jared walked into the room. They all came by my side and Zayn sat on the chair beside the bed. He, of them all, looked especially pale and haggard. "I am fine." I said, wishing they had come a little later. I could've had time to grieve my failed marriage, at least. "Where is Jared?" "Don't try that shit next time, Ava. I ought to have told you before you left but Zayn told me not to." Tristan's lips twitched downwards as he glanced around his environment. After his mom died in one, he despised hospitals the most and wouldn't often visit because he couldn't hold his temper so long in one. At a time, there had been several sequential incidents where he had ruined the hospital facilities and beat up their doctors. It almost landed him in Edward's courtyard but his father had been a loyal servant and an old friend of dad. Even with his temper, he was still the most patient and honest of us all. "Tell me what?"
Ava. "Just a picture over a meal. She doesn't have to know. I'll pay you handsomely, I promise." She closed the distance between them and spread her hands on his chest. A flirtatious smile played on her lips as she rubbed her exposed body on him. Really, I never paid much attention to her and only considered her as Raphael's richest and hottest girlfriend. Who knew she was a bitch, a cheap one at that and would stoop so low to seduce a married man.I was fuming where I stood and had no idea when my legs took me closer to them, and I hid behind the tall pine trees. Darwin's eyes had followed every one of my movements, even as he backed away from her, "I have no word to say to you."Eleanor smiled even more. Of course, she wasn't giving up and it had become a fucking challenge to her. The more he rejected her, the more she tried to lure him into her trap and it was her business to overcome his reluctance. "Does that mean you'll come? If you are going to reject me, you'll have to do
Ava.Darwin smiled but moved away, "Get dressed. Another one of your boyfriends is on his way to find us." I wanted to remind him that we were only friends but knowing he didn't mean it and was only being childishly jealous, I rather ignored him."He's going to come in anytime soon." Darwin succeeded in making me panic. I jumped down and hurriedly snatched my gown from the floor. True to his words, Tristan walked in right after I wore it."I'm sorry, Alpha Darwin, I didn't get to introduce myself properly earlier." He trotted over to our side, still wearing that dopey grin on his face. It was like he had finally seen his celebrity crush after collecting his posters for half a century. "I am...""Tristan Fella." Darwin completed for him. He went closer and stretched his hand forward for a handshake, "It's nice to meet you. Ava has told me how you guys have taken great care of her. Thank you."That was the second time I heard him calling me Ava and it sounded strangely proper coming
