Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Ava: Her New Normal

Living in Westwood becomes routine again quickly.

Training with Jericho starts again only two days after my return, and the grizzled old shifter doesn't say a word about my long absence.

Lucas and I text every night, but I refuse to call him. The sound of his voice is going to make me regret things.

And Selene settles into our daily life as though she were never gone.

The only downside?

Kellan.

I have yet to speak to Selene or Lisa about anything important, because the beta is always around. He sleeps on the couch every night, no matter how many protests Lisa and I hurl his way.

Even Lucas is on board with it. I thought utilizing his possessiveness would go my way; it didn't.

He just said Kellan would be the one wolf he could trust to keep me safe.

Lisa's worse off than I am; she spends a good chunk of her day glowering at the friendly beta.

I watch Kellan as he washes the dishes, his broad shoulders filling out his t-shirt in a way that would be appealing if I wasn't so annoyed by his constant presence. Lisa mutters beside me, "It isn't fair that my apartment's been taken over."

I sigh, the sound heavy with frustration. Selene huffs a little woof of agreement from her spot on the floor.
