Tangled
Chapter 76
76 Ava: Saved
Lucas‘ scent hits me after I’ve already tried to murder him.

campfire smoke, of something so uniquely mate that it draws me in even through the pain of our past.
It’s him. He’s here.
The knife clatters from my trembling hand as every muscle in my body goes lax with relief. I’d been so tense, coiled tight like a spring ready to snap, terrified of losing my life tonight. But now Lucas is here.
He came for me.
“Lucas,” I breathe out, hope and prayer all in one, the sound barely more than a whisper. My entire body crumples, overworked in its stress.
He’s really here. I’m not dreaming. He’s not a
hallucination. This is real. Real.
My mate.
My savior.

Strong arms wrap around me, drawing me in against an embrace both hard and warm, filled with assurance
and yearning. His hands hold me as if I’m some tender, precious thing, going from my back, up to the back of my head, brushing gently against my hair.

“Ava. Ava. Sweet Ava. You’re safe now. Shh, it’s okay. I’ve got you, Ava. You’re safe now.” His voice rumbles, vibrating his chest against my cheek. One hand cradles my head, the other runs soothing lines down my back.”
I want to respond. I want to ask him why he’s here. To thank him for coming. To tell him how terrified I was. To explain everything. But only a choked sob comes out as all the emotions of the last few days takes over, gripping my body in a cold–fingered grip of horror and
distress.
Tears pour down my face, soaking into the fabric of his shirt as I cling to him, as if letting him go means I can never see freedom again.
