AVA

You didn't think I'd actually obeyed, did you?

Before his words could even land, my short legs had already pushed me at least four metres forward. I might possess all the traits of a submissive, but I was wise enough to know that anyone wandering the woods at this hour had ill intentions.

That felt rich coming from me, but my reasons were different:

I doubt anyone else in Bloodmoon was as miserable as I was.

There was a great deal of distance between me and whoever it was, yet it seemed it didn't matter as much as I thought. His footsteps pounded behind me, hard and fast.

"Hold on! Wait..." he called, yet I didn't stop, tearing through the woods as if my life depended on it.

Because it did.

My flannel got stuck on branches, gaining holes as I roughly pulled free. I didn't care that one of the few clothes I had was being ruined. The fear wouldn't let me. Afar off, the dark path was beginning to lighten up.

Just a few more pumps... a few more... and I'd be out...

With that advantage,

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Confusion

    AVAA low growl was the first thing I heard when I came to, and the first thing I saw was darkness.Pure and undiluted.My eyes refused to open. I couldn't tell where I was, but from the suffocating smell of disinfectant, my guess was the pack clinic. The room felt eerily quiet, yet somehow I knew whoever had growled wasn't the only one here with me.My body ached all over. The intense, terrible pain I'd passed out from had reduced to a dull throb wrapped in the tight pressure of the bandage around my arm. Fighting the fogginess in my head, I inhaled deeply, willing my eyes open when someone spoke."They saw her."Dax?The anger in his tone sent chills down my spine."They saw the mark." He growled. "What do we do? What do we tell them?""I don't know," another voice replied.Damon."You don't know?" Dax snapped. "Am I supposed to tell the Alphas waiting in the hall—the Lycan Kings expecting me in an hour—that? You should've listened to me!""And what? Your plan was more reckless than

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Exposed

    AVAI remember asking a vital question on the third day of training. I'd just fallen for the tenth time as I covered the second mile when I looked up at my trainer."I keep falling... what if, what if I'm caught? What do I do then?"Boredly picking at her nails, she tilted her head in my direction with a tired sigh."If you do, just surrender."Unfortunately, that was one piece of advice that I couldn't put to use.How do you surrender to someone who refuses to let you yield?I shouldn't have talked back. I should've played along. No. I shouldn't have opened my mouth at all. Horrified, I stumbled back as Astrid landed on all fours, baring her fangs at me.Half our audience leapt to their feet, the suspense unbearable. They all wanted to know what triggered the shift since most of our conversation went unheard due to our distance from the benches."Astrid, stand down, or you'll be disqualified." Delta, Raph warned, the veins in his neck protruding in frustration.She ignored him and in

    AVA"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about."Astrid squinted at me, "Are you playing dumb right now?" She frowned, her gaze questioning if I was acting or just plain stupid. But I couldn't think of anything else to say."You know, I was right about you. You've been unusually bright. I knew something was up. I bet you thought that you could actually win this. Don't tell me you really believe that you outran five of our best wolves?"I swallowed hard.No, I didn't.I knew it was strange. However, though it was just for a fleeting moment, I wanted to think so. Eyeing her jeering form, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't spotted her all through the chase; I was too occupied to ponder on it."Unlike the rest," Her voice went even lower. "I wasn't after winning this stupid chase. You were mine from the very beginning. I just had to get the rest out of the game."Wait, what?A cold wave of shock washed over me. My head whipped in the direction of the forest opening as a chilling rea

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Caught Red-Handed

    AVAOne advantage, perhaps the only one, that came from my trainer being changed was that despite her loathing, like the rest, she actually trained me."Look," She had spat with disdain during our first session, "We both know all odds are against you. You've never worked out, and you're... human. My only advice to you is to run. And that's all I'll be teaching you how to do."So as soon as the shot went off, I took to my heels. Trying my best to implement each of the notable corrections she made as I encountered them."Don't ever run in a single straight line. You'll be caught."I dashed into the forest, my legs turning away from the clear path. My pulse raced, skyrocketing at the stomping of feet as they closed in on me.I stormed past the wet trees, drops of water from the leaves splashing on my face and clothes... the wetness stuck to my skin, extremely cold yet I continued.Not for a millisecond did I stop to peer at my pursuers. The fact that they still hadn't caught me meant they

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    No Escape

    AVAI must've misheard. My feet, which were about to descend the last step of the podium, halted at his words and met the ground in a shaky landing.If I ever had doubts about Dax being a good actor, then this has cleared it all. With everything he had done since I walked in here, no one would ever suspect him to be my mate. But this would be taking things too far. I'm sure he didn't mean it. Drawing in a shaky breath, I took a tentative step, heading towards the exit when he spoke again,"So alphas, what do you say?"Unable to control myself, my head snapped in the direction of his voice to see a practiced smile on his face as a chorus of hums of agreement erupted in the room."That won't be bad." One of the lycan Kings, I wasn't sure which, commented. "We're done here anyway." My eyes bulged at his words. I knew the quietness of the past week was a ruse. I was paying for it all. In that moment, I'd never wished for anything more as I prayed to vanish into thin air. With all th

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Dead Meat

    Nobody dared to move.Well, nobody but Ava. Like a prisoner who knew her fate had been sealed, her palm flew to her lips in horror as she watched the hot liquid splash all over the seated alphaForget being recognised, there was no running from this.Kael didn't flinch as the visible part of his skin began to turn an ugly shade of red. He didn't even wince; his fingers remained in the pool of scalding brownness. His gaze didn't leave Ava's trembling form as he cocked his head to the side, studying her intensely. "Oh my god... Alpha Draven." A muffled sob escaped her throat, and tears welled in her eyes. She immediately understood what those girls meant when they said his wolf had gone rabid. Usually, most alphas' eyes flashed a bright yellow when their wolves surfaced, but his kept floating between its normal brown and a black shade, darker than the night itself.god... the end had really come.Dax was the first one to break the silence as he jumped to his feet."Ava!
