89 Ava: A Mild Overreaction
I glance away from Lucas, unable to hold his intense gaze. My heart sinks like a stone, the weight of the secrets I’ve kept pressing down on me.”

I don’t mind it, but it doesn’t quite feel like we’re at that point yet.
I really need to talk to him.
“I’m sorry, Ava. This is another alpha. I’ll be right back.”
“Go, go.” I wave him off. It isn’t like I don’t understand the weight of such a call.
But then he utters words that make my blood run cold. “Hey, Clayton, is everything okay?”
I’m frozen.
