"Text me and I'll be there to pick you up," Cole said as Ava nodded and he left. "I bet he's your bodyguard," Vanessa said as soon as Ava stepped into the bakery. "Why didn't you tell us, Aiden was a freaking billionaire," Vanessa asked as both the girls got to work. Ava has decided to rejoin because she was bored out of her mind at home and if Aiden was giving her freedom willingly, she should take it until it lasts. "I've told you I didn't know that. I just found out when I got married to him." She sighed. Her friends had bombarded her phone with messages regarding Aiden after that night when she was drunk. Bryson had told them everything about Aiden except for Aiden's secret which even Bryson didn't know. Ava had told them that she found out about Aiden's status when she married him, and they lost it when she accidentally revealed the marriage part. They barged into Aiden's house and demanded an explanation. She didn't even tell them the address, but Bryson tracked he

Ava was walking down the hall when she saw one of Aiden's men; Enzo hurrying to his study. She didn't know what got into her, but she followed him and stopped at the door. "Boss, they attacked. We lost our people last night." Enzo said. "How many?" Aiden gritted; his jaw clenched. "Seven. Two kids, three women, and two men." Enzo said and her throat dried up. "Number of attackers?" "Five skilled men," Enzo said and Aiden rested back on his seat, throwing his head back as he closed his eyes to tame his temper. "Do we have their trail?" "Boss, they are working for the organization because they all were in the same uniform. Also, one of the men was able to hit the attacker in the head. In the CCTV footage, the attacker was wounded badly but within a couple of minutes he was back to his feet properly healed." Enzo said. "What?" Aiden barked. "Here," Enzo showed him the footage, and surely the attacker healed quickly as if he was a werewolf. "He must be forced

She had her chin resting on her palm as she dangled on his shoulder, sulking, while he marched to his room. Aiden closed the door behind them and gently put her to her feet. All the blood rushed to her head as she swayed a little, but he held her elbow to keep her steady. "Want to sit?" he asked, tipping his head to the bed as she glared at him. "I'm fine." She pulled her arm out of his grasp, crossed her arms across her chest, and glared at him while tapping her foot on the floor impatiently. "You don't have to interrogate Cole like that when you can ask me anything you want," he said and continued with a small smirk tugging at his lips. "I didn't know you would even notice I'm spending my nights out." He said casually. Ava didn't say anything. She just glared at him hoping he would spill out the reasons for his escapades on his own without having her inquire about it. "Are you jealous?" He asked, tilting his head to the side and looking so freaking sexy. Aiden was in b

"Are you done for the day?" Cole asked when he ordered his usual honey donut and Vanessa grumpily prepared it for him. They both hate each other's guts she could swear on it. They both left no chance to get on each other's nerves. It was fun to watch them, but Ava didn't want her friend to be dragged into this werewolf's world. "Yeah, I'll be out in a minute," Ava said hurrying to the staff room as she changed into her clothes and stepped out. Cole was waiting by the door watching Vanessa who was putting the chairs away. It was her turn to close tonight. Ava said her goodbyes to Vanessa while Vanessa yelled after her, reminding her of the brunch tomorrow with Alice and Audrey. The girls’ day out. Ava yelled over her shoulder that she remembered as she walked down the street with Cole to their car. Cole handed the donut to the homeless man and Ava watched him. "Why do you buy it, when every time you don't even eat it?" Often when there was no homeless person around, he wo

Bullets were raining behind him and he got hit in the back causing him to stumble forward crashing into her as she held him. "Aiden," She whispered shakily, feeling wetness on her hand. There was a wild commotion behind them. Animalistic growls and snarls but all she could hear was a numbing whistle ringing in her ears, seeing red coating her palm. "Take cover," He rasped in her ear before pulling back. Aiden roared like a wild beast, and she noticed his canines extending and claws expanding as he lunged at the scarred old man. Ava noticed Enzo and more Aiden's men infiltrating the place like charged canons. A guard tried to get to her, but someone blocked his way in a flash and knocked him down with a solid punch. It was Jacob. "Dad," She breathed shakily as Jacob hurried over to her. "F*ck, I'm late. Hide, Ava. Don't let them see you," Jacob said, forcing a pistol in her hand. "Use it to protect yourself. Kill if need be. Don't even hesitate when it comes to your safe
