Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 89

Zebe stood just inside the glass doors and watched Ava sitting by the pool with her knees drawn. She had showered and then prepared her own food, which she had eaten in her room as she had done the other night.

She was still pissed off with him. Her calling him Master and pretending to be submissive was a dead giveaway. How long was she going to

He turned to watch Derek approach and then looked back at his little human. Though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders when he told Derek and Myles who she was, it was still imitating him that they were here to witness all this. A little human had felled the mighty Ezekiel.

She’d had her nightmares again, and he’d felt her need for him, but her locked door told him clearly that she didn’t want him near her. He hadn’t wanted to break down her door and scare her

But he wouldn’t allow her to lock him out again tonight. Ava had impressed him tonight with her fighting skills and had eased his mind a little, but he knew how brutal the evaluations got.

He sat down next to her and dipped his feet into the water. He liked doing this. It reminded him of the beach at home, but the smell of chlorine always ruined the illusion. Ava seemed to like it too, so maybe after the evaluations, he would take her to his favourite spot in the woods. A natural pool that no one else dared to visit because it belonged to Shadow.
