Ava’s POV
"Give me two shots of tequila and a glass of mojito," I demanded from the enticing bar boy whose face was iconically and his body... I checked him out, well, he would pass to her taste, but tonight, I was going for something more... classical. So, internally I shook her head and averted her gaze."
I sat at the dimly lit bar, her fingers drumming impatiently on the polished surface. The bar was smoky, and the low hum of voices filled the air. It had been months since Aiden had shattered my heart, rejected me as his mate, and chosen Isabella over me.
“I guessed as I have lost my inner wolf as I haven’t been able to feel any mating bond with anyone ever since me and Aiden parted ways, or is it because I have become an alcohol addict?”, I thought aloud even as I started feeling so useless as all this thoughts kept pouring in.
I tried to connect back to my inner wolf even as I sat at the counter, but as usual she wasn’t responding
I have become a rogue sex addict, with no inner wolf. All thanks to Aiden.
“How the hell will I even know if I finally find my mate”, I said aloud angrily.
“Ma, is anything the matter”,
I was jerked back from my thought even as the bartender gave me the drinks, and I downed the tequila quickly. I felt the fiery burn in her throat, but I didn't mind; it helped me forget the pain.
As I admired my mojito, a man approached me. I could see from the tag on his suit that his name was Logan. He had a nice suit and a confident smile.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked with a charming smile.
I turned my head to look at him, my eyes cool and distant. "Sure, but don't expect much. I'm not in the mood for small talk."
The man leaned in closer, his voice a low, seductive murmur. "Who needs small talk when we can have a more... fulfilling conversation?"
I arched an eyebrow, and a smile tugged at my lips. "You think you can fulfill me?"
He reached out to touch her cheek, and I let him, the caress feeling strangely empty. "I can certainly try."
I chuckled, pulling away from his touch. "You're not my type, darling."
The man seemed taken aback, though not ready to give up yet. "And what is your type?"
I suddenly became quiet as my gaze scanned through the room, my thoughts momentarily drifting back to Aiden and Isabella. I have been sleeping with countless men since my heartbreak, but it had all been a hollow attempt to fill the void left by Aiden’s betrayal.
"My type," I finally said, "Is unavailable, taken, and completely unattainable.”
The man seemed to catch my meaning and nodded, "What's your poison then, beautiful?"
The man, not moved by my initial coldness, leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against my ear as he whispered, "Let's make a deal, beautiful. For tonight, forget the unattainable and let me show you a world of pleasure you've never experienced before."
My eyes met his with a hint of curiosity. It had been so long since someone had genuinely piqued my interest. "And what's in it for you, mister...?" I teased, deliberately omitting his name.
His smile deepened, revealing a set of perfect white teeth. "Call me Logan. And what's in it for me is the thrill of the chase. I like a challenge, and you, my dear, are worth the catch."
I couldn't help but be intrigued by Logan's confidence and charm. I just played the hard to get. But here was a man who seemed to have brought me to my knees. "You think you can handle me, Logan?"
His fingers brushed against her hand, sending shivers down her spine. "I'm willing to find out."
My heart quickened as she felt a tingle of excitement
I arched an eyebrow, and a ghost of a smile tugged at my lips. "You think you can fulfill me?"
He reached out to touch my cheek, and I let him, the caress feeling strangely empty. "I can certainly try."
"You have a way with words, Logan”. I said “But words alone won't be enough to keep me interested."
Logan's hand slid down my waist, pulling her closer. Our bodies brushed together as he whispered, "Actions speak louder than words, my dear."
Now the wine intoxication started creeping in, and I didn’t even know when Logan and I moved to the rooms upstairs, but I knew I could feel sweet when he started kissing me.
As Logan's hands ran down my body, I couldn't help but shiver with excitement. I closed my eyes as his lips landed on my neck, eliciting soft moans from my lips. Every touch sent a jolt of pleasure through my body, and I knew I was completely under his spell. Something just really felt different with him. It was as if something inside me was lunging for more of him.
As he pressed me against the wall, I could feel his hard, muscular body against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. His hands wandered down to my waist, then to my hips, exploring every inch of me. I murmured his name, lost in the sensation of his touch.
In that moment, there was nothing else in the world that I wanted more than Logan. The desire between us was undeniable, and I couldn't resist him any longer. I arched my back as he continued to kiss my neck, and I knew that I was his for the taking.
As the night went on, my inhibitions faded away, and I gave in to his touch. Though I was inexperienced, he was patient and took his time, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. We undressed each other slowly, and as his strong, muscular body pressed against mine, I felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
As he entered me, I let out a soft gasp. It was unexpected, but the sensation was thrilling. With every thrust, waves of pleasure crashed through my body, making me moan uncontrollably. My fingers dug into his skin as I held onto him tightly, lost in the passion that was building between us.
Our bodies moved together in perfect harmony, and I could feel the deep connection that was forming between us. It was a feeling I had never experienced before. The way our bodies fit together was like they were made for each other, and the pleasure was beyond anything I had ever felt.
"Oh God," I murmured as his movements became more urgent. I could feel my release building inside me, and I knew that I was getting closer and closer to the edge.
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, his breath hot against my skin. "Come for me," he said, and that was all it took.
With a cry of his name on my lips, I let go, my body convulsing with pleasure. It was an intense experience, and I knew that I would never forget it.
As we both reached our peak, our bodies trembled with pleasure, I knew that this moment would stay with me forever. Even though I knew this was a total stranger, I was grateful for this unforgettable experience with Logan.
We both fell tired on the bed. The feeling of his skin against mine was electrifying. As he entered me again, I gasped, feeling him fill me up. It was intense, and I held on to him tightly as we moved together in a dance of pleasure. The pleasure was all-consuming, and I lost myself in it, forgetting everything else.
********
Before I could say Jack Robinson, it was already morning. I turned to my side to see the face of the man that made my night and to my surprise he was nowhere to be found. I felt maybe he went to get something, but I waited and waited and there was no trace of him. I don’t know why I really wanted him do bad right now.
“What is this weird feeling I’m having?”, I thought aloud
Where has Logan gone too?
Ava’s POV"Be good at school today," I said, planting kisses on my triplets' cheeks as they headed out the door. Ava, Timmy, and Talia - my entire world bundled up in those three little troublemakers. They were the spitting image of their father, Aiden, with his golden hair and deep brown eyes. I finally decided to stop sleeping around when I found out that I was pregnant. Its being years now since me and Aiden saw But I had long since moved past him and loved my children unconditionally.After bidding them farewell, I grabbed my things and headed out. Another day at the clinic awaited me. Over the past six years, I had built myself up from nothing, becoming a successful wolf doctor with clients from packs all over. The timid orphan girl I used to be felt like a lifetime ago.I slid into the backseat of the magnificent town car as my driver, Mark, held the door open."Good morning, Dr. Ava," he greeted me cheerfully. "Ready for another day of saving furry lives?"I chuckled. "As ready
Logan’s POVMy heart was racing as I walked through the palace gates, even as I inspected the guards. I'm the Beta of the Crescent Moon Pack, and this title brings a ton of stress. My job is to make sure the pack is orderly and peaceful, and I take that seriously.Passing the tired palace guards, I noticed the weariness in their eyes. They'd been on duty for hours because I'd told them not to leave until further notice. It was necessary because things in the pack weren't great. Tensions were rising, and we were under threat from a rival pack trying to take our territory."Stay alert," I said to the guards, my voice firm but filled with understanding. "I'll make sure someone relieves you soon."The guards nodded, appreciative of my concern. I kept moving through the palace, my mind racing with the many problems that needed my attention. I couldn't relax, not even for a moment. Finally, I entered my private room and shut the door, taking a deep breath to clear my mind.Sitting on my bed
Ava’s POVThe drive to the Nightingale pack lands felt surreal, like I was traveling back in time. The last time I had been here, I was a naive teenager madly in love with the Alpha's son. Now I was a grown woman and a mother of three kids, only returning under ominous circumstances.Aurora insisted on coming with me, despite my protests."You're not doing this alone," she said firmly as she loaded the last of my things into her SUV. "I'll help you get settled, and be right here if that jerk Ethan tries anything."I smiled weakly, appreciating her protectiveness even if it complicated things. We rode in tense silence, the weight of what I had to do pressing down on me. Aurora kept shooting me worried glances."I really don't like this, Ava," she finally said as we passed the 'Welcome to Nightingale Territory' sign. "We can still turn around and call the cops."I shook my head, even as my heart tightened. "You heard him. I don't have a choice if I want to see the kids again."Aurora cu
Ava’s POVI chewed on my lips to gain some time as I thought of what to do. Logan was no fool, and in order to save the day, I would have required a more persuasive plan. "You're completely incorrect. It is a game that I play with my friends. Just some ridiculous role-playing. Nothing major."Logan did not waver, his eyes cutting through my thin defense. Guess he didn’t buy that “Whether it's for role-playing or not, secrets are not tolerated here. Particularly when they concern our Alpha.”, he said. It dawned on me how serious things were. Logan was aware that I wasn't just here to make a presentation. I had to figure out how to take back control and deflect attention. Though time was passing quickly, my mind was racing with possibilities. "I know how important trust is in a pack," I replied while still trying to seem contrite. "I didn't intend to come across incorrectly. I’m no threat, Trust me. Guess with time when you know me, you will see" His eyes narrowed even further, as t
Ava’s POVIt was really creepy. Even though the steps were clear, it took some careful work to find Beta Logan's weak spot. I couldn't make any mistakes that would put my goal or the safety of my kids at risk. When I thought about how hard this was going to be, the apartment walls felt like they were closing in on me.I called Aurora's number on my regular phone and waited for her to answer while my fingers lingered over the screen. When I heard her voice answer the phone, the familiar melody made me feel better."Whoa! How are you? Aurora's voice had a mix of interest and worry about it.Before I spoke, I took a deep breath and gave it some thought. "Aurora, this is... tough. Ethan wasn't ready to meet me when I first met him, let's just say that.Aurora, the other person laughed too. "Of course!" You've come a long way since you used to want the Alpha's child. He must be really mad at himself right now.I laughed a little and was glad that someone was trying to make things fun. I gu
Ava’s POVAurora's voice on the other end held a weight, a solemnity that struck Ava to her core. "Ava, we found out that your kids were kidnapped. Captured by some men who, we suspect, are werewolves from the Nightangle Pack."Ava's breath caught in her throat, her mind struggling to process the shocking revelation. "Kidnapped? Werewolves? Nightangle Pack?" The words hung in the air, a surreal concoction of fear and disbelief.Aurora continued, her tone measured but laden with concern. "Yes, Ava. We tracked where your kids were being kept, but by the time we got there, the kidnappers had moved with your kids. And here's the unsettling part: we found strange markings on the walls, unmistakably the markings of the Nightangle Pack. It was a Crescent Wolf."The room seemed to spin around Ava as she absorbed the gravity of Aurora's words. "Nightangle Pack? But why would they...?" Her thoughts were a whirlwind, attempting to grasp the unfathomable truth that the very pack she had infiltrat
Ava’s POV When the door opened, the guard said, "Sorry for the trouble, Ava." He had a sorry look on his face. Aiden urgently asked you to be there. He wouldn't want to waste his time.I acknowledged the message with a nod. "I'll be there soon." Tell him I won't be in a hurry. The guard walked away and shut the door behind him.As I went back to getting dressed, there was a sense of urgency in the air. I stepped out, entering my car as the guards readied theirs, forming a safe patrol. My mind was tense because Aiden was so hurried. Why did he need me to be there so quickly that even his guards seemed rude? I pushed the question aside and focused on the job ahead. Upon entering the pack house property, I drove to the parking lot. It spread before me in all its glory, a sight that seemed new, as if I hadn't truly noticed it on my initial arrival, obscured by the evening clouds. The parking lot, bathed in the warm glow of lampposts carefully placed, was a testament to both usefulness
Ava’s POV When Aiden spoke, his words sent a chill down my spine. They reminded me of a painful past. Saying, "We were cool before," he seemed to downplay the seriousness of the cracks that had once broken the trust. His offer of company and casual mention of a past they both had made me think he was trying to hide the wounds that were still there. "Friends now?" I repeated myself, and my voice was calmer than the crazy thoughts going through my head. He spoke in a carefree way that hurt my sensitive feelings, and his tone made them worse. "After all, there's no place like home, right?" His words, which were meant to heal the wounds of the past, made things even less clear.Looking into his eyes, I tried to find any sign that he felt bad about what he had done or knew how much pain he had caused. While the table was carefully set for a private talk, it became a stage for the feelings that were still brewing below the surface. Aiden's laugh, which used to be familiar and comfortable,
