Jayden's POV
Fixing my cloak so that it concealed my face completely, I stepped out of the car. I walked up to the entrance of the pack house where alpha Benjamin of the Crystal Blue pack was waiting with a polite smile. That smile won't be there for long though.
"Alpha Jayden, to what do we owe the pleasure of you gracing us with your presence?" he asked with a bow.
I nodded in acknowledgement and could see from my peripheral vision that his son was glaring daggers at me. I turned my attention to him and he straightened up quickly and bowed to show his respect.
I smirked in satisfaction and focused my attention back on his father. He ushered me inside and led me to what I presumed was his office. When we got inside he took a seat behind his desk and I took the seat in front of the desk
Ava's POVThree weeks.It has been three weeks since I last saw him. After I found out that he was the alpha of the North pack, I haven't seen him since.I wasn't complaining though, my wolf was. She has been a hot mess for the past three weeks. Sometimes she wouldn't talk to me for days, other times she would just sit in a corner and cry. It was depressing to see her like this and I needed something to help get her back in her good spirits.I knew that if she was close enough to him, she would feel a little better. So that was what we were going to do today. I was going on a wolf hunt for my mate to appease my wolf. I would do anything for her, and if that meant facing someone who wanted nothing to do with us, then so be it. She was worth it.
Ava's POV"Ah" I screamed as a wave of pain shot through my body.I woke up in the middle of the night with my skin feeling as though it was on fire. Something was wrong and I couldn't understand why this was happening to me and why now.Not being able to handle the heat, I immediately began to get undress in order to somewhat expose my heated body to the chilly night. This however did nothing to help at all as another wave of intense heat washed over me.I curled up on the bed in a fetal position in just my underwear. I needed to cool down. Any form of cold would be great right now.With that thought in mind I rolled out of the bed and crawled on the floor to the bathroom. My legs felt like jelly whenever I tried to stand, so I just d
Ava's POVOpening my eyes I let out a tired yawn and stretched out my sore limbs. I rolled over on my back and thought back to what happened last night. I was beyond exhausted from all the events from last night. I checked the time on the alarm clock and was shocked by what it read.It was 3 pm in the evening. I couldn't believe that I had managed to sleep through the day and still woke up feeling exhausted. I was feeling a lot better, no thanks to Jayden.Slowly all the events of last night came rushing back to me and I couldn't help but feel sad. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out.After I had confirmed to Jayden that I wanted to have sex, he left. That asshole left me in pain. That was rejection on a different level. I was now more than a hundred percent sure that he w
Ava's POV'Wake up' I heard someone call out from a distance.'Wake up sweetheart' I heard someone call out again.I desperately tried to open my eyes, but failed at each attempt. It shouldn't be so hard to open my eyes, but somehow my eyes felt like they weighed a ton. I tried again and gave up when I realized that they weren't going to budge.I heard mumbles and whispers in the distance, but was unable to make out a single word that they were saying. I could hear shuffling and then the next thing I know is that I was drenched from head to toe in ice cold water.My eyes immediately flew open as soon as the cold water came in contact with my skin.
Ava's POV"Where am I?" I asked."You're at my parents' cabin" he answered with his back to me."Why am I here? Are you the one who paid those guys to find me?""Of course I paid them to find you. I didn't want you to miss your own father's funeral, now would I?" at hearing him say that, I realized that he was dressed in a black suit."He's dead?" I asked in shock."Yes. That asshole alpha from the North pack killed him" he said, clenching his jaw in anger."Wait what?" I don't even know why I cared if he was dead or not. He has been dead to me for a very long time now. I guess I was shocked that he was now actually dead, dead.
Ava's POVI ran as fast as my legs would allow me to go. I have never felt as I felt right now in this moment. This was truly the worst feeling ever as the guilt weighed heavily on my chest making it almost impossible to breath.I was standing in the thunderstorm surrounded by trees and bushes. The weather reflected how I was feeling right now. There was an ongoing turmoil brewing inside me as I was having trouble deciding my fate.The rain was soaking the white night gown that I was wearing. The gown was now stuck to my body, leaving nothing to the imagination.It was getting even harder to breath now. I collapsed on the ground on my knees getting my clothes covered in mud in the process.At this point I didn't care, for what I had do
Ava's POVA few months later..."Get her!" an angry voice shouted behind me.A group of men began chasing me as I ran through the market with a bag full of stolen goods on my back. Dodging people who were shopping, I increased my speed and ran into the woods.I knew that if I ever made it into the woods that I would be safe. I could easily hide from them, since they weren't as familiar with the woods as I was.It was only normal that I knew the woods like the back of my hand since I have been living in a cave for months now.After that horrifying day, everything changed. I changed. I was never the same as before. One would say that I was punishing myself for the crimes I committed that day, and I
Ava's POVI quickly scrambled to my feet and shuffled away from the intruder. He looked at me skeptically and raised his hand in a gesture to show that he meant no harm, but I wasn't about to fall for his trap and let my guard down.I squinted my eyes to get a better look at him and then the realization dawned on me. I've seen him before, more specifically; he has been chasing me for months now.There was no way that he came in here without the intention of capturing me and offering me to the highest bidder."I'm not here to hurt you" he said in a calm voice taking steps closer towards me."Don't come any closer" I said in a panic, holding out my hands before me ready to attack if he tried anything."L
