Chapter 28
★★★★
"Ava" Lucian called and she sat up immediately.
"What happened?" He asked and she inhaled and exhaled looking at her hands.
Her claws were out already and her eyes were golden.
"I had a nightmare" She said getting down from the bed. She rushed into the restroom closing the door behind her.
She stood in front of the mirror and her wolf self displayed in the mirror.
"Stop this" She said talking to her subconscious..
"I'm not in control Ava" The wolf in the mirror spoke.
"What do you mean?!!" Ava almost yelled.
"This is the first time something like this is happening" The wolf muttered.
"Explain!!" She growled.
"I'm not supposed to come out when you don't want it, meaning you're the one in control Ava. You're the one forcing me out with your emotions so, calm down" The wolf said and she sighed.
She inhaled and exhaled.
The wolf in the mirror disappeared and she opened her eyes. She gasped as she stared at how golden her eyes were. She looked at her claws which were longer than normal.
"This is weird" She muttered and her eyes went back to normal. Her claws went back in and she blinked remembering the nightmare.
"Why am I having nightmares of these people?" She groaned, running her fingers through her hair.
"Ava. You okay?" Lucian asked from outside.
"Yeah. I'll be out soon" She said and he muttered okay before going downstairs.
Few minutes later, she got out already dressed in a black fitted gown and a pair of boots.
She sighed and left the bedroom heading downstairs.
She sat down at the dining table opposite Lucian. Gorya brought two glasses of blood.
"Thanks" Ava said, smiling at Gorya.
"My pleasure"
"Thank you" Lucian mumbled and drank out of his glass.
Gorya smiled.
"Anytime" She said and left.
"Awwn you finally said thanks" Ava said and he scoffed.
"I had no choice. You literally kicked me off the bed" He said and drank from the blood again and she giggled.
"My hubby is learning" She said and drank out of her own glass of blood.
He looked at her and smiled a little.
MERLIN'S RESTAURANT ~~ CALIFORNIA
They walked into the restaurant and Ava greeted Merlin.
"You can go now" She said to Lucian.
"Nope. I'm not going now, I have plans" He said and she furrowed her brows.
"Don't do anything bad hubby, I know you" She said with a frown and he chuckled.
"Yes boss, go to work" He said and she smiled before going to the kitchen.
"Good morning Chloe" Ava said with a smile.
"Morning" Chloe replied, stretching her body before sitting on the counter.
"You're always early" Ava said.
"Yea I have to so I'd get everything in the kitchen ready before you guys come" She said and Ava nodded.
She tied her apron and Jason came in.
"Good morning" She said and wanted to walk past him but he stopped her.
"I'm sorry for yesternight"
"It's okay" She said with a smile and he smiled as well.
She left the kitchen and sighted Lucian sitting on a table. His gaze was on her and she bit her lips.
Customers began entering and she went back into the kitchen.
"Your husband doesn't plan on leaving?" Jason asked when she came in.
"I have no idea. Let's go" She said and he tied his apron before they both left the kitchen.
Chloe stared at their retreating figures before getting down from the counter.
After a while, Amy, Demi, Percy, Clara and Miza came into the restaurant settling down on their chairs.
Lucian's gaze never left Ava as she served some customers.
Percy's gaze went to Lucian and her eyes widened.
"Girls!! Look at that cutie over there!!" She gushed and they turned.
They began gushing over him immediately excluding Clara. He heard what they said and he turned to look at Percy.
"He's looking at me!!!" She gushed again and he looked back at Ava.
Ava sighted them and she came over.
"What would you like to order?" She asked and they turned their gazes to her.
"Girl, did you see that hot dude over there?" Amy asked, referring to Lucian and she turned her gaze to him before looking back at them.
"Yup. He's so hot" Ava said with a smile.
"Don't you dare fall for him. He's mine" Percy said possessively.
"No way. He's gonna be mine" Demi said.
"I saw him first yunno" Percy said.
"It doesn't matter" Demi said and Lucian scoffed standing up.
"He's coming over" Miza muttered with a smile.
Percy and Demi began arranging themselves. He stopped walking when he got to their table. Percy stood and brought out her hand for a handshake.
"Hey. I'm Percy" Percy said with a cute smile.
Demi stood as well, stretching her hand for a handshake.
"I'm Demi" She said with a smile.
Lucian stared at the two girls then looked at Ava. He walked closer to her and stopped when they were close.
"Honey, which one of them is your friend?" He asked and her heart skipped a beat.
"The hell?!!" Percy and Demi said at the same time.
"Urm, these three" She said pointing at Amy, Clara and Miza.
He turned to the three girls.
"This lady here is my wife and I'm very protective when it comes to what's mine" He said and her heart skipped again.
"If by chance any one of you hurt her, even if it's a mere bruise, I will come for y'all" He said and they gulped.
He looked over at Percy and Demi.
"Don't even dare touch her" He said coldly and that sent shivers down their spines.
He looked at Ava.
"I'll be going now Mi love. Stay safe" He said and leaned in giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Her heart skipped a beat for the third time and her eyes widened.
He smiled at her and she blinked before smiling back.
He left the restaurant.
Ava looked back at the girls whose eyes were still wide.
She smiled.
