AVA

As soon as those words were out, two of his men appeared before me.

The next few minutes were a blur. I didn't get the chance to wonder where they had come from as they took my arms in a firm grip, pulling me along behind their brooding alpha.

If they had watched our interaction or heard us, their stoic expressions said nothing.

Honestly, I'd rather they didn't.

My stomach twisted, feeling disgusted at what we just did.

What I just did.

And for the love of everything sensible, what he just said?

Mate. Mate?

Amidst everything I'd heard all day, this was the most absurd.

Still reeling from the shock of the previous conversation, I silently let myself be dragged back to the pack house.

My feet had just found the hardwood floor of the hallway when mumbled sounds of heated arguments filled the air.

"You had such development in your pack yet you decided to keep such information to yourself?"

I didn't know whose voice it was, but somehow, I knew who the question was directed at.

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Eira: The Seer

    AVAIt's official. I'm a seductress.Staring like a deer caught in headlines at the goofy Beta, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been doused on me. Without thinking, I darted behind the largest thing I could find to shield me from his teasing gaze, and that just happened to be Kael."Oouu... You're learning fast, sweetheart. I'm really liking this."Thorne drawled as he walked in, rolling his shoulders like he owned the place."You seem to be in a good mood," my mate remarked dryly."Shut it."Apparently, unlike me, he didn't feel even the slightest bit embarrassed. That or he was just really good at hiding it."You noticed?""I also noticed that you should've been back ages ago. So whatever joy you're feeling is unwarranted.""Hey. I tried my best." His Beta shrugged, then pulled on a proud smile. "You'll be so delighted to hear what I found...""What did you do?""You meanwho?"

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    The Beta's Mate

    Picking up another cold pebble, the blondie Beta pulled his arm back even further than the previous times and sent it flying into the far distance. He waited for a second, then two, then another three, before the subtle sound of a splash followed as the pebble fell into the river.He and his men had passed by the river a few minutes ago before it got really dark, and they decided to stop and set up camp for the night.The irony was almost too thick to swallow.As wolves, they could track anything, hear a heartbeat from miles away, and sense fear, but not predict the future?He'd never envied other shifters.Well never did, until tonight.Whoever thought giving that particular power to warlocks was the right thing to do must've been dropped as a pup. Those bastards were full of unnecessary fluff, and if he heard one more word about "seeing beyond the ordinary eyes," he would personally test how fast it would take to break their entire

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Two Reasonable Fools

    AVA"Miss... Miss, wait. We can talk this out."Did I listen? No.My legs moved faster down the corridor and up the stairs, heading back to the floor I'd just left yesterday.I must've been a fool to think I could reason with him."Miss!" Arabella called, jumping right in front of me as I reached the entrance. "Rethink this. I won't go in with you if you cross this threshold. He would have my head. And even if I wanted to, I can't! The maids are forbidden from entering this floor.""Good. Then you stay here. It'll make this discussion easier and faster.""Miss Ava!"Not wasting another second, I pushed her out of the way, stomping into the Alpha's private wing. I'd been so eager to return to my room last night and hadn't taken a good look at the place. But now, I almost forgot I was meant to be angry as I stared at the vast, elegant space. Dark woods were polished to a mirror sheen, minimal, faint gold engravings curled around two pillars, and a faint, masculine scent filled the floor

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    The Introduction

    AVARemember how they say it’s not until life flashes before your eyes that you realise its importance?Well, let’s say there’s more truth to that than I thought.It had taken the rest of the day and a few bickerings, but somehow, Kael and I finally seemed to be on the same page. Compared to what everyone saw, what I used to see, the man was just a big lump of stubborn pride wrapped in a huge body.After I had pointed out his very unusual behaviour, he had retreated into his emotionless shell; I almost thought the man I’d been speaking to for the last hour was a figment of my imagination. I sincerely couldn’t help but wonder if the lack of sleep had something to do with his irritable moods.However, I was now filled in on most of the details he’d found, so I could say we were making progress.It wasn't until about midnight that I finally found my way back to my room, which happened to be right beneath his on the lower floor. The familiar sense that came with being in my own space was s

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Intimate

    AVAThe sound of running water ceased, and I looked towards the bathroom door in time to see Kael step out; his face wet, and his torso was now covered in a simple grey round-neck shirt. He looked much better than he did when I awakened, and so did I.Although mine could be attributed to the two glasses of water and much-needed bath I had.It felt... weird.How did we get here again?Guess I could add that to the pile of things I would ponder on later, but for now, we needed to talk. And it seems like we were on the same page because, throwing the damp towel in his hand on a nearby desk, he began advancing towards me.Out of habit, I pushed back into the bed.He isn't thinking of returning here, is he?Nah... we might've woken up together, but that was a different circumstance. I was too busy surviving to feel uncomfortable. Maybe I should move to the couch instead. It was, after all, his—He halted by the sofa a few feet away. Then with a look that said, 'You're impossible,' he sank

  • A Bond Of Fire And Fang    Breaking Walls

    AVAI thought I knew pain. But nothing could’ve ever prepared me for the next few days.Not that I knew exactly what happened. We’d barely made it to the dungeon before I blacked out. But what I did know was that whatever I went through wasn’t living.It was survival.For what felt like an eternity, I was stuck in pure agony, running from the shadow of a terror I couldn’t even see. The horrifying pain continued. The flames were fast on my heels, ready to swallow me if I took a break.I couldn’t stop or hide for a second, and if I had thought regaining consciousness would put an end to the torture, the real world wasn’t any different.Because the first time I stepped out of the fog, I was thrown back into the convulsions, barely able to draw in a single breath.At one point, I wondered: could he have been wrong? Could he have mistaken the word "dying" for "shifting"?The second time I came to, it wasn’t any better, but this time, the pain felt like a part of me.I could still feel the
