Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 116

Zeke crashed through the front door and looked around. All the curtains were drawn, so it was dark inside. There were only two people in this house, all alone like a couple of lovers.

He growled as he followed Ava’s scent up the stairs.

She was supposed to be in his bed sleeping, not hanging out with his enemy.

His voice was low, on the verge of shifting. It didn’t matter now what he did to Jared. Once he and Ava left the academy, he would likely never be allowed to retum. He would never graduate to be officially recognised as the Alpha.

But he would be Alpha anyway. He and Shadow agreed on that

When he reached the top of the stairs, his steps faltered when he saw his mate coming out of the master bedroom. And she was terrified. Her heart was beating so fast and so loud that he had to tune it out to concentrate. It felt like he had been transported back to when Ava had hidden in her

Why would she be scared now? Just a couple of hours ago, she’d kissed him publicly like she was claiming him. She had melted in his arms. The scent of her arousal had turned him inside out, and had there not been all the other scents and heartbeats of the people around him, he would have completely lost his head. She had been ready to go all the way,

“No. Why would you-

“Then I can go anywhere I wish,” Ava added.

“Of course you can, but only with me. It’s not safe! You’re not safe

“Not safe from who?”

He watched the stubborn tilt of her chin and the sudden anger in her eyes as she remained in front of Jared’s bedroom door. How the hell had things gone so wrong since this morning?

“What lies has that bastard been feeding you!” he growled.

Then there was Claire, who he’d left in Jared’s backyard, and Jared’s Beta in the woods. He’d left those two alive, but he hadn’t seen them since. Did his bite do the same to them? Or was Jared just
