Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Zeke parked his car on the driveway and gripped the wheel tightly. He could feel the change coming as Ava’s scent overwhelmed him again. The heat of her mouth, the little whimpers she’d made as he’d tasted her, how responsive she had been to his touch, the way she had moulded her body to his as he had urgently ground himself against her.

He had been so close to marking her.

He groaned and closed his eyes. And then the scent of Ava’s blood hit him all over again; it was so strong in the confines of his car that his rage returned. He’d been fighting that constantly since he first saw Ava unconscious at the Training Centre.

So many strong emotions were raging inside him that he didn’t think he could hold Shadow back this time.

Pain. Rage. This inexplicable bond to Ava, calling for him constantly, pulling him towards her, making him want to be with her all the time.

The whole time he waited outside the infirmary, his senses had been tuned to her beating heart, and Shadow had thrashed inside him. He’d wanted to stay there to make sure Ava was okay, and at the same time, he’d wanted to find Claire and rip her head clean off her body.

Today, he had been tortured on a level he had never experienced before.

Claire had known. Somehow, she had known that he was drawn to Ava. How else could he explain that look she had given him before she had felled Ava, slamming her to the ground? That glint in her eyes as she used all her strength on Ava’s fragile body?

His claws extended again as he thought of his girlfriend–his ex–girlfriend. He could never be with her again after what she did, and after what he did, kissing Ava like that. How could he want anyone else now?

He could still taste Ava on his lips. He hadn’t planned on doing that, but after seeing her walk out of the hospital on her own, he had needed to. Needed to touch her. To taste her. To fill himself with her scent, just to reassure himself that she was okayy

‘Go back to her,‘ Shadow commanded.

He couldn’t. No matter what feelings Ava dug up in him, he still couldn’t.

Shadow snarled at him, which turned into a growl when the unwelcome stench of vampire hit his nose. Shadow had found someone else to take his anger out on. A growl left his lips as he looked in his rearview mirror. Now was not the time for this shit! Shadow was ready to take over and rip everyone’s throats out; he couldn’t attend to any official pack business now.

He saw the vampires coming up his driveway and fought the shift. His face tightened as his deadly teeth elongated, but he gripped the wheel as if his life depended on it. It did depend on it. He pushed as hard as possible, but Shadow wouldn’t let go of him.

‘Derek! Myles!‘ he said through the pack link. ‘We have company

He couldn’t leave the car. The moment he did, it would be a bloodbath, and everything would be over. He would never be Alpha and take his revenge.

“We mear–no–harm,” Gideon called out, his palms raised as he stopped a distance away. “We had a meeting, but you didn’t turn up. I was under the impression our negotiations
