Avaline

A soft, genuine smile broke across my face. I stepped out from behind the counter and walked straight up to Rocco.

"You're back," I said softly, my voice filled with relief. The flutter in my heart was back, and so was the warmth surrounding me. It was still a mystery to me. How could Rocco’s presence have the power to make me feel this way when my heart was dead already? After Jaxon’s repeated betrayal, I had lost faith in the mate bond. I knew I couldn’t trust another mate in this lif

    AvalineWe walked up the short wooden steps to the front porch together. Every movement felt heightened, every second stretched thin with anticipation. Rocco pulled out his keys, his fingers steady despite the thick tension hanging between us. He unlocked the front door and pushed it open, stepping aside to let me enter first.The moment I crossed the threshold into the dimly lit hallway, Rocco followed, shutting the door behind us with a firm click. The lock turned, sealing out the cool night and locking us in with the rising heat.Before I could even turn around fully, Rocco’s hands were on my waist.He pulled me back against his broad chest, his front flush against my back. I gasped softly as his heat enveloped me completely. His scent - cedar, rain, and pure masculine warmth flooded my senses, making my head spin. He rested his forehead against the side of my neck, inhaling deeply."Ava," he groaned softly, his warm breath fanning across my sensitive skin, sending goosebumps casca

    AvalineThroughout the ride home, I closed my eyes to get a grip on myself. I felt light-headed, and free for the first time in years. Even Nia relaxed deep within me, her soft purr helping me let down my reserve. For the first time, I had no fear of colliding with Jaxon. I was free to move around. It almost felt like I had been reborn.“Tired?” Rocco’s voice brought me out of my dazed state, and I stared at his handsome profile while he drove. His long, thick lashes caught the rays of the setting sun and cast long shadows over his cheeks. My gaze swept across his sharp jawline and short stubble, giving him a rough, masculine aura. His hair looked messy as if he had been threading his fingers a thousand times through them. Suddenly, my hands itched to touch them, to caress the silky strands.My gaze dropped to his full lips. They looked more enticing, as if inviting me to sin. As if feeling my gaze on him, he wet his lips nervously.I quickly shifted my gaze back to the window, my hea

    Avaline“Quiet!” Chief Elder Adkins yelled.The guards held Jaxon down on his knees while the judges spoke quietly for a few minutes. The proof was too clear for all to see.Chief Elder Adkins stood tall and raised his hand.“Jaxon Whitfield,” the Chief Elder declared, his voice ringing through the room. “For treason, planning attacks, destroying personal property, using poison, ‌abusing Avaline and trying to kill Valerie, this Council finds you guilty on all counts. From this day onwards, you’re banished from the Ozark Mountain Pack. You lose all your titles and rights for life. The Council hereby sentences you to eight years of rigorous imprisonment in the Council dungeons.”A huge wave of relief washed through the room. Jaxon stared at the floor, his body going limp as the guards locked heavy chains around his wrists and dragged him away through the side doors.Before the enforcers could drag Jaxon completely out of the courtroom, I raised my hand and looked up at the high bench.“

    AvalineFive days passed by in the blink of an eye. Lucienne, Maximus and the rest of the group tried reaching out to me. But I had so much pending work to take care of that I had no time to connect with them. What was the use now? They weren’t there when I had needed them the most.Rocco kept me updated on the latest developments in Jaxon’s case.As the day of the trial approached, a quiet storm brewed inside my chest. I spent the days gathering my strength, refusing to let fear dictate a single heartbeat. When the morning of the trial arrived, the autumn air was crisp and biting, carrying the sharp scent of pine and distant mountain snow.I accompanied Rocco to the Shifter Council Tribunal at their headquarters in Arkansas, where the trial would start in two hours. The Shifter Council tribunal hall was a cavernous, imposing structure built from dark stone and heavy timber deep within the neutral territory of the high range. Its high-arched ceilings echoed with the footsteps of elder

    I had to tell him about Jaxon’s hand in the rogue attack. He had the right to know how Jaxon had tried to frame him. “I’m so sorry you had to go through that attack. I overheard Jaxon and his friends discussing it the night of the Luna Ceremony.”Rocco nodded and frowned. “What did you overhear? We tried to investigate the rogue attack while I was recovering, but the trail went completely cold. The rogue leader, Lupin from the Chugach Mountain Pack in Alaska, died mysteriously in police custody before we could interrogate him. All the evidence died with him."A sudden, sharp memory flashed through my mind. The night of the Luna ceremony: the dark balcony and the voices.I pulled back and stared at Rocco, my breath catching in my throat. "Lupin... Jaxon knew him."Rocco's eyes narrowed instantly, his Beta instincts flaring to life. "What do you mean, Ava?""The night of the Luna ceremony, before everything fell apart," I explained quickly, my words tumbling out in a rush. "I was on the

    AvalineThe heavy, dark fog in my mind started to clear. When I first opened my eyes, bright morning sunlight was streaming through a large window. The sharp smell of antiseptic filled my nose. I was lying in a soft bed inside a quiet, private room at Mammoth Springs General Hospital. An IV line was taped to the back of my hand, dripping clear liquid slowly into my vein.My body still felt a little tired and sore, but the scary paralysis from Jaxon’s drug was completely gone. I could move my fingers and wiggle my toes. I was finally in control of my body again.“Avaline?” Rocco’s voice penetrated through my thoughts.I turned my head toward the soft voice to find Rocco sitting in a chair right next to my bed. He looked worn out, with dark circles under his eyes and his hair slightly messy, as if he hadn’t slept a single minute all night. But the moment he saw my eyes open, a wave of deep relief washed over his face.“Rocco...” My voice came out as a weak, scratchy whisper.He immediat
