Chapter 68 Ava: Their Plans (II)

Phoenix taps a finger against the table, watching me with a calculating gaze. "You need to understand what situation you're in, Ava."

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

"Why?"

His smile is mirthless. "This entire pack will throw you away without a second thought. Alpha Renard will trap you in a life of misery and pain, and you will forever be a pawn in his hands."

"I know. That's why I want to escape. You're the one who brought me here, remember? None of this is news to me."

Phoenix nods. Just the slightest nod. "Alpha Renard's plans changed when he received some very interesting news from the Aspen territory. He heard of an omega with your description, with a heat so strong that even the Aspen alpha was affected."

The glass of water is all I focus on. It's hard to look him in the face as he talks about everything they've planned for me.

"His orders changed from bringing you back with force, to rescuing you." The emphasis is unmistakable, the slight disgust in Phoenix's voice sending a little shudder down my back. "I flew out that night to find you and bring you back. Now, Alpha Renard is going to use your connection with him to nullify his ability to support Westwood in the upcoming war."
