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.

"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?"

"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?"
