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.”
It isn’t even like I’ve been keeping them on purpose, but I feel like a she–wolf caught cheating on her mate.
And yet no matter how innocent it was at the time–no matter what state our mate connection was in–these are the types of secrets that can bury our relationship before it ever starts. Honesty is the best policy. Better to get it all out in the open, even if he rejects me again.

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?”
