Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Ava: A Wolf's Identity

If Vanessa was here, I'd love to talk to her.

Unfortunately, she's not. We're on a plane, and she's still in Blackwood, plotting on how to force answers out of my mom's wolf.

So I look at Kellan.

"If your mate kept secrets from you, even if it's for the best of reasons, in order to accomplish a goal—how would you react?"

"Furious." His answer is swift, and his eyes suspicious. "What are you up to now, Ava?"

"Nothing." Shame twists my gut as I turn back to the window. His immediate reaction is to think I'm up to something, bringing trouble to those around me.

But now?

His uneasy stare bores into the back of my head, and I rest my head against the window with a sigh. "Do you ever argue with your wolf?"

"Not anymore. I used to. Why, are you having problems with yours?"

My head snaps around faster than should be possible. "What do you mean, mine? I don't have a—"

"Yeah, yeah." Kellan leans back, closing his eyes. "You don't have a wolf. But I've seen that look on your face a thousand times. We're all shifters, Ava."

I can't help it; I touch my cheeks in confusion. "What look?"
