For once, I felt myself feel a little relieved when I saw the casual look on his face.
"Layla?" He called when he got to where we stood, enveloping Layla in a tight hug that lasted for a few minutes.
"How is he?" Layla inquired and I noticed his hands were still around her and he had a soft and warm expression on his face.
"How are you?" Asher asked instead.
Layla shrugged. "How I'm feeling isn't that important Ash. How's my brother."
"The bullets have been taken out." He informed, while I let out a relieved breath. "There's only one silver bullet," he further informed, causing Layla's eyes to widen in horror.
"A silver bullet?!" She almost screamed.
Causing my insides to react in alarm too. I hardly understood what was happening. But I knew what he just uttered meant that Aiden was probably in danger.
"Calm down love. It's been tak

I cleared my throat as we continued to walk the hallway, while she waited for my answer."He is great." I finally answered dumbly.Layla let out a chuckle as she came to take my arms into hers. "So we are keeping it PG are we?""Uh, no it's not like that." I was embarrassed to the bones.I'd taken my time thinking about Aiden and all the ways I thought of him, just to give her a three worded, vague answer."Aiden is so much more than great to you Ava." She nudged me teasingly. "I'm sure you felt it."I blushed beetroot red, clearing my throat."It's okay love." She assured. Certainly off teasing me for a while. "I'm not making you uncomfortable, am I?"I shook my head quickly. "No. Not at all."She smiled. "I'm glad. You see Ava, I like you, a lot. As a friend who feels like a sister in some way and whatever else you want to be."Whatever else I want to be?I couldn't help but feel her words had

I felt it before I could open my eyes. Someone was staring at me. I stilled in bed, by head nestled in the billowing pillows.My heart began beating wildly. With the series of nightmares I had last night and my constant inability to properly sleep, I felt I was yet in another nightmare. I still felt the eyes on me which urged me to find out who."Ava?" The familiar voice called and I stilled again.It can't be.He can't be the one calling my name in this very room.But then I sat up and was met by his face.Aiden was sitting by my bedstand, looking at me.Wide eyed and confused, a scream tore through my mouth before I could process things.Aiden was quick to come to the bed. "Are you okay Ava? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"I recoiled, moving away from him.How was it possible that Aiden was in the room before me. Looking like yesterday's incident never happened.Was I really dreaming?"A

I'd always wondered what it felt like to be left completely speechless and dumbfounded. The revelations I'd received had been the perfect spot-on experience. I hadn't only learnt that werewolves existed, but that I was also this werewolf's mate. Seriously, it was a crazy world we lived in. Who knew my life could go from boring and almost non-existent boring college life to one worth a fantasy movie. I'd never imagined I could be living this sort of life. A life where every little second or minute was unpredictable. I was currently standing beside Aiden's car, a red Royce Roll that stood among the various cars in the large garage, unable to make eye contact with him. The last fourty eight hours has been a speeding Mack truck of events to me. But surprisingly, I'd handled myself and managed to keep my cool. Bearing in mind one too many things. I was a normal young adult living a normal life who has hopefully, minimal drea

"Honestly," I continued. "If it were under different circumstances, I would be happy to be your mate. But I have duties this time. Duties to myself. I come first and I am going to try my best to inculcate that into my mind. And until that is done, I do not think that I will be emotionally available for anyone.""I respect your decision Ava." He said after a while.I offered him a small smile. "Thank you.""I don't know how long it is going to take for you to build yourself Ava. But, whenever you are ready, I hope you consider me and I want to let you know that I'll wait if you will have me."His sincere words warmed my heart.Really, Aiden was such a gentleman.Most times, he seemed so good to be true. And I had only known him for a few hours.Ma

I wasn't sure I did well in my biophysics test.And that would have bugged me into restlessness as soon as I submitted my paper. But that was the least troubling thought I was battling.All I could think of and found hard to process was that I was in danger and was partially on the run.I'd never had a reason to hide or even, feel endangered before. My constant troubles since I lost my parents was how to pass a test, an exam and how to juggle my part-time jobs in order to make time for Grandma and my studies.Now, my worries weren't in any way basic. Rather I was worried about some unknown wolf desperate to have my head on a spike.Although Aiden had asked me to move in with him till I was finally safe and I had agreed, I still found it all to be new. At first, it felt like it was merely a joke or even, a bad dream that I was bound to wake up from. But the look on Aiden's face had husked out such thought.It was merely a joke. I was in

I loved new Ava.Was all I could think about even as some students stared at me as I walked out on Scott. I was so proud of what I had done. So proud that I stood up for myself and owned my actions.I did not know how I was going to be from now on. Obviously, there would be psychological and emotional consequences of all Scott had done to me and I would have no other choice than to face them and I would, head on, with my head held high because I had done the the critical part which is facing Scott head on and getting rid of him.Outside, the afternoon sun was just making an appearance. Warming up the whole place in the process.I felt a smile blossom on my lips. Even the weather was on my side.A car honked immediately, catching my attention.Just across the road, the red Royce Rolls was pulled up, its open windows, letting me get a he

The saying; What would be, would be has never been more befitting of my situation. I was back to the same place I'd been so adamant on leaving in the first place. Back to seeing the beautifully lined rolls of houses and the large mansion that was Aiden's home. Now that I was seeing it in broad daylight, it felt so charming and very pleasing to my eager eyes. The large building dwarfed the other buildings in a pretty fitting way, like a king stood over his subordinates easily, without taking away the charm of the pretty lined houses. The tarred lanes and beautifully trimmed flowers which stood aesthetically in a row took my breath with it . Everywhere was beautiful and calming. A stark contrast to the normal chaos I was used to living in. It was like this world was a whole different one from the one I lived in. The air was fresh and devoid of any sort of pollution. The grasses seemed greener and livelier and the surrounding was emitting an easy

The dining room was stacked with several people who I guessed were all wolves. Somehow, I had ended up sitting by Aiden's right side and just beside him, with Layla and Asher opposite me. Yet, even in the presence of familiar faces I was a nervous wreck. Everyone, I mean up to five new faces I haven't seen before were all staring at me with curious gazes. Even as Aiden had gotten their attention, they still stared at me. I breathed in and out again. Calm down Avalon. They are merely curious. Reaching for the coffee dispenser that housed a very tempting, freshly brewed coffee, Aiden beat me to it when I thought he wasn't paying attention to me since he was busy conversing with Asher. He half filled my mug with the tempting coffee, just the way I liked it. Before going ahead to pass me a toast, that had been sprayed with jam. Also the way I preferred to take mine. I was dumbstruck for a second. When had he taken note of a
