Ava's POV:Shit! I'm super late today. Usually, I don't sleep that late but today. And why did Noah didn't wake me up? Argh!Quickly going to the washroom, I wash up and dressed for the day. Taking my phone, I sprinted downstairs. Entering the kitchen, I expected Noah to be there but he wasn't. Where is he? Did he already leave me? Vetoing the thought, I went to the cabinet and took the cereal box and milk from the fridge. Closing the fridge with my hip, I sat at the dining table and started eating my breakfast. Halfway through the breakfast, the front door opened, and in come Noah. As I looked up I was caught in a daze. He was wearing just pants as it was hot outside and he came from his morning walk. He was holding a water bottle in one hand while his other hand had a small towel to clean the sweat. His biceps were bulging with the veins popping out and giving a dominant look to his body. His six-pack abs were on full exhibit with sweat shimmering on them making him look even
Ava's POV:Today, I'm going to meet their parents. Xavier's parents have been on excursions since the epoch. They travel from one pack to another to make treaties with them. But what about Noah's parents? He never talked about them. I guess, today is the day I meet them and get to know something about Noah because he always smells fishy. I'm wearing a gorgeous purple and red backless dress. It reaches my knees. I straightened my hair and did light makeup. Taking my phone, I went downstairs where Noah had been waiting for an hour. "Ready,"? He asked as I stepped down the last stair. " Yes," I answered timidly. I'm so nervous to meet them."You look gorgeous and don't worry, they will love you," he comforted with his charming smile. "They are nice people, nothing like him," he laughed a little. I nodded and we left for Alpha Xavier's home. How does he know them so well? ---------------------------------Just as we were about to knock, the door opened. I look up
Ava's POV:Startled by the knocking on the door, I opened my weary eyes and went to open the door. "Hey Ava, let's go," Noah said excitedly. "Where,"? I asked confused. "To bake a cake," he said and I look at him like he has grown two heads. Seeing my confused face, he laughed. "It's Jessica's birthday, and I want to bake a cake for her," he said and dragged me to the kitchen. He has already taken everything out. "Let's start," he said and started doing the work. I groaned but helped him. "Remind me again, why can't take a cake from a cafe,"? I asked tasting the batter. " No efforts," he said and I looked at him. Now I noticed, he has a small smile on his face while preparing all this. Any girl would be lucky to have him as her mate. If only Alpha Xavier was like this or Noah was my…. Bad Ava, don't imagine like this. Finally, after 4 hours everything was ready. Noah baked Red Velvet Cake, strawberry cupcakes, and some cookies. Hastily packing everything, he dragged me to h
AUTHOR'S POV:She stepped out of the cab and gawked at the grand entrance of the hostel. She feels content and proud. She feels an unknown emotion. This is what she always dreamed of to get admission to her favorite college and be independent and today, she did that. Taking a deep whiff, she took her luggage and went inside the hostel. She was admiring everything with her doe-like eyes. She was enthralled by everything. For people, it may be normal but for her, it was much more. Girls were going here and there, some were standing in groups, and some were studying in the garden. She was always timid and reserved, nobody believed in her but she proved them wrong. "Excuse me," she shyly asked a girl. "Yes," she asked. "I'm new here. Can you please show me the principal office,"? She asked politely but couldn't comprise her excitement. The girl giggled at her and showed her the way. After saying goodbye, she left for the office. Knocking on the door, she entered the principal office
Ava's POV:I felt the air abandoning my lungs. I thrashed against the water like a dying fish, dread slashing its way through my heart. I tried to stay afloat, but the water was too strong. Water melees against my lips and invades my nose. I let out a deep breath to blow the water out, resulting in taking a gallon of water. My body fights me on this. My eyes are watery and my throat is on fire. The icy water quakes my body as I tumble beneath the veneer of the lake. My lungs burned, and I tried to reach the surface by kicking. I came out of the water and took a large greedy breath. Bubbles spew out of me, taking with them the precious air. I tried moving around when a sharp wave crashed into me, sending me deep into the air. I kicked and thrashed but nothing worked. My eyes are wide open with lack of oxygen. You're weak.KickAwwww! Look at her, she thinks she is a princess. You're nothing but a burden on everyone. Fucking weakling. KickMy lungs felt painfully empty, I gritted m
AUTHOR'S POV:SunscreenCheckHand SanitizerCheckCameraCheckHiking bootsCheckAfter checking everything for the fifth time, Ava closes her backpack. Today, they are going hiking. Ava has never done hiking before. Last night, she couldn't sleep a wink. These nightmares are her eternal sleeping chums, if that even makes sense. She always tries to shrink them, but at some point in her life, her past always enmeshes her. Feeling moisture on her hand, she looked in the mirror. She didn't know when she started crying. Wiping her tears, she took three deep breaths and smiled at the mirror. With a determined mind, she will not let them make her feel worthless again. They can't snatch her happiness. "Hey skittish pooch," Noah said entering the tent. "Don't call me Mr. Grumpy pants,``Ava smiled."Come with something more plausible buddy. We all know I'm anything but grumpy," he said with sass. "Shut up you two. Always fighting like a married couple. Come let's go," Cora shouted from ou
Ava's POV:"Ahhhhhhhhhh," I screamed as the rope broke. I desperately moved my hands, trying to hold onto something but got nothing. My heart leaped in my chest, and my breath constricted. Tears brimmed my eyes. I tried to scream but the force and terror were too much. I shouted and brace myself for the hard impact. I said my last prayer and waited for my death. Instead of the ground, I met with two strong arms. I closed my eyes tightly and held onto the person for my dear life. An intoxicating smell burst into my senses. His breath fanned my cheek. I groggily open my eyes and see a shadow of someone and then everything goes black. -------------------------------Slowly opening my eyes, I look around. I was in a jungle in a muddy place. What am I doing here? Then everything came flashing. I yelped and looked around for any path or anything when I heard a small growl. I look back to see a black wolf wrapped around me. I was so in my thoughts that I didn't notice
"They say follow your heart, but if your heart is in a million pieces, which piece should I follow"Ava's POV:"And what," Jessica said her voice on edge. "Tell them that because I didn't want to stay with Noah, I lied. Tell them that all of this killing the Alpha's brother was just a lie," Jessica said and I stumbled back. My jaw dropped and my hand tightened into a ball, till they felt like bleeding. Anger and disappointment flowed through me. She was lying all this time. She made up all this for what? Just so I don't be with Noah. How can she do this? How can she be so selfish? "You what," a voice roared, making me yelp. I look back to see Noah standing there. His eyes were dark golden, hands fisted tightly. His whole body was shaking. "You lied,"? He asked in a calm yet dangerous voice. Sometimes I wonder how his voice holds so much power and dominance. "Noah," Jessica softly mumbled, trying to reach out to him but he raised his hand. "Answer me," he growled. "I'm sorry,"
