LOGINAva "Elio has a lot to tell you about the boys." I shrank, appearing smaller than I was before, and folded my arms in front of my body. "You should talk to him." After giving me one last glance, Rae left, leaving me by myself in the dimly lit room.He approached Elio and saw that the man was focused on obtaining additional information regarding the potential identities of the kids' kidnappers."Ava told me about your findings," he was startled by the voice of the Alpha. Elio's heart was beating so hard that his ears were ringing.Elio felt more at ease when Rae laughed at him."I apologize, Alpha. I didn't see you coming." He straightened up and tried to relax. "I informed Miss Ava that it's possible that her children and your children were taken to the human city.""Do you really think so?" Rae squinted his eyes and looked at him."If I were human, that's what I would do, sir. Plus, it would be much harder to get caught in a big city, making our mission almost unachievable."He look
AvaWith urgency, I questioned, "How can you be so sure of that?""I had no idea that a person could be recognized by their footprints."After glancing at Rae and me, Elio swallowed his own spit before speaking, "I'm not sure, Miss Ava," he remarked, looking back at the footprint in the sand, "but it couldn't have been a woman's.""You ought to be questioning why a woman is even involved in the abduction of my kids," I became agitated, which infuriated Rae. I was going to turn and walk away when Rae held me once again, making me turn to face him."Why the f*ck do you keep standing up for him?" Seeing the look on my face, he inquired."He most surely would have saved my kids if he had been present."All of my defenses were undermined by Rae's laughter. "What happens if he is complicit in the quads' abduction?" I scowled, growing irritated with him.I shook my arm and made him release it, saying, "That doesn't make any sense, Rae. Why would he try to help me in finding the boys then?"H
AvaI moved away from him. I flinched away, as though his contact had disgusted me."I would have found my children if you hadn't taken so long." Rae was struck in the heart by the words, which were like jagged knives.With a saddened expression, he questioned, "Are you saying I'm at fault here? We might have located them if you hadn't invited Jay to come here."Hearing his charges made my fury boil. "This isn't a game, Rae. Whoever finds them does not even matter. All I want is my kids back.""Why don't you go ahead and find Jay then?" shouted Rae. "They'd be with him now, right?"Elio observed that Rae was staring at me angrily, so he moved in between us with the intention of calming things down. "I apologize for interfering, Alpha, but don't you think your accusations are a bit over the top?"Rae paused and seemed perplexed before saying, "This time, I do not agree with you, Elio," he exhaled, his breath labored, "and I am right."At last, I started to breathe more slowly. Wiping m
AvaKyler, Jamie, and Noah held onto Logan's unconscious body in the vehicle as it jolted from side to side, praying their brother would awaken quickly. They soon drifted off to sleep, and when they awoke, the man was moving them around once more. The room had beds in it this time. The sheets were torn and dirty. Nothing they couldn't appreciate at this moment.There was light and the interior wasn't really cold. There was a urine-smelling restroom on the other side of the room. Throughout the night, they all had to cover their nose multiple times until they grew accustomed to the disgusting scent. Logan, though, didn't wake up. That was how he remained all afternoon.Upon awakening, he believed he was dreaming. The space had good lighting. Jamie and Kyler were on one bed, while Noah was resting with him on the other. He looked up, but his dizziness made it difficult for him to see clearly. He remained sleepy. Moreover, he had difficulty opening his eyes.It took him several tries bef
AvaI wasn't there for any of what happened next. Jay told me pieces of it weeks later, and what I couldn't get from him, I pieced together myself."Hello, Annie," he said, adding, "It's a pleasure. Also, I saw your brother in the mountains, and he injured me horribly.""Kyle? What's Kyle doing out here in the forest?" She asked, her eyes shining with concern.He remarked in a mocking voice, "He wanted to kill Ava, but I didn't let him."She walked quickly towards him. Her dark eyes had the appearance of being as vacant as a chasm. In an attempt to intimidate him, she stood, asking, "What do you think you're doing?"He said, "I came to rescue the quads, and I'm taking them to Ava." Annie gave him a long look before she burst out laughing."I had to get prepared since Kyle had told me this would happen."Jay glanced at her confused. "He told me that you could fall in love with Ava if you stayed with her.""What the f*ck did you do, Annie?" Her words surprised him."I paid you to keep A
Ava Rae chuckled mockingly. As Elio observed everything, he thought it was imperative to end it all once and for all to prevent further harm from happening. Elio continued to hold onto me as he added, "We're all very tired, Alpha. How about we take a nap and deal with this in the morning?"Elio nearly thought the alpha would accept his suggestion as Rae glanced at him, but he said, "I'll take Ava to the mountain because she wants to go there," he added, giving me an exasperated look. "Pack your belongings because we're heading out right now."Rae strolled back to the camp. Though he knew he wouldn't be able to, Elio wanted to go after him and try to change his mind. Elio became aware of his grave error as soon as they arrived at the camp. When he looked more closely at the vacant space where the prisoner had been restrained, he saw the ropes had been cut.Gazing at the cut ropes, Rae pondered how and by whom the human had made his escape."He couldn't have made it out on his own," he
AvaRae got so furious at the sight of one of the armed men shattering his glass while he still thought of how to act.Rae got ready to step out of the car as he opened the door and felt rage fill his body."There are over ten hefty men out there Rae. What do you think you're doing?" I said, tears
Ava"This is Logan, the first to emerge, followed by Noah, the second, then Jamie, and Kyler," I said, pointing to each face and addressing each one as though I were presenting them to their father for the first time. Rae's eyebrows were furrowed in confusion. In the children's faces, there was no
Ava "Still a little fierce, aren't you, Ava?..."The moment he called me that, my heart raced. When we were still together, Rae had given me that sweet nickname. I wished I would never experience the surge of emotions I had when I heard him call me that for the second time that day.I had made a s
"You are too troubled about my presence, Alpha King! I'm just an ordinary omega. By the way, I'm only visiting Grey's art shop, just like you're doing Alpha." Emmy grinned, showing his really mean teeth.“You dare not talk to your Alpha in such manner!” Rae snarled at him holding his throat to the
