Her Passion 11

Ava's POV:

The next day I was actually looking forward to going to school, something I never thought I'd think, let alone feel. I sighed and felt my face contort into a scowl as I realised why. Not only because I'd the chance to have friends for the first time in my life, but also because my wolf and I wanted to see our mate.

I didn't know how to act around him anymore, I couldn't act shy because that just wasn't me. Besides, I couldn't block him out because every time I saw him or smelled him, I wanted nothing more than to give in to my desire and jump him on the spot.

"Get a grip, Ava," I hissed to myself, tossing my hair into a high ponytail, not wanting to be bothered with it. It's not like I was trying to impress anyone, my stupid idiot of a mate could just fuck off.

I pursed my lips, grabbed my bag and closed the door to my small flat, glancing at the clock and cursing when I saw that getting ready had taken longer than expected.

"Great, now I'm going to be late. That's all I needed to make my day even shittier," I hissed out of nowhere, great, now I'm talking to myself! Genius!

It didn't take me long to walk to the bus stop, but my mood got even worse when I realised that the only bus that was on my route was the one I'd just missed. Great, what the hell was I going to do now?

Sighing, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and was scrolling through the few contacts I'd when I found Levi's number. It couldn't hurt to call him and ask. I knew he'd to have a car because my ex-parents were filthy rich because they'd Alpha blood. Sigh...

As I pressed the dial tone, I leaned against the bus shelter and stared at the idiots either whistling or honking after me. I rolled my eyes, it drove me crazy when these guys did that, I mean, how old were they? Five?

"Is everything okay Ava, why aren't you here?" Leo's voice immediately came through the phone, and the fact that I could hear my mate in the background asking him to give him the "goddamn" phone made me smile in spite of myself.

"Shish Levi, I'm not late, I'm fine, but I missed my bus," I explained. I wouldn't care if he gave me a ride or not, missing a day of school really wasn't high on the list of things I valued.

"What, so you want a ride?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"No, why else would I ring the bell?" said I, rolling my eyes again, a habit I'd been engaging in far too often lately.

"Alright, where do you live?" he asked, to which my eyes widened slightly in panic,
I like my brother, but I don't want him to know where I live. If he knew, my mate would find out and in my current situation with him, I'd rather he be in the dark. I knew he'd make my brother spill the beans if Ethan used an alpha squad against him, and I knew he'd've no problem with that.

I sighed, things were getting more complicated.

"Can you pick me up..." began I, giving him directions to a large shop at least 10 miles away. I could run through the woods to meet him in time and he wouldn't notice as long as I ran, but I couldn't hide my smell, which meant they'd stay in the dark as long as I wanted them to.

"Alright sis, keep an eye out for the red Aston Martin dbs." Levi said this and my eyes widened, nice car bro.

I should have known he wouldn't want such a flashy car, I thought as I felt my lips twist into a scowl that vaguely reminded me of the fact that I hadn't been in the best of moods lately. But could anyone really blame me?

"What're you doing here?" I stared darkly into the hazel eyes of my beaming mate, and the fact that he was smiling broadly at me made it hard not to swoon. Sure, he was hot when he grinned, but his smile just made me want to pounce on him and take him for the ride of his life.

"I've come to pick you up," he said in a 'duh' tone that made me hiss, and the fact that his eyes darkened with desire made me want to slap him to get him on the right track. Was he just thinking about sex? Pig.

"I'm not getting in the car with you," I declared as I crossed my arms in front of my chest, my jaw clenching as I saw him staring at my chest with a new hunger pang. Damn it...

"You're late," he said and I shrugged, he seemed surprised by my next comment, which made me giggle.

"I don't think I care, Ethan, school means nothing to me," I said honestly, but I could tell by the way his tongue ran over his delicious looking lips that he wasn't even listening to me. Oh, for the love of
God! Get a grip on yourself, man!

"I love it when you say my name," he said hoarsely, at which point I threw my arms in the air to express my frustration,and the fact that I'd to restrain myself from stomping my foot like a child made me breathe a sigh of relief that I could suppress the urge to do so.

"Can't you even get your head out of the gutter?" I snapped at him, whereupon he winced from the driver's seat window, for the fact that we'd attracted attention on Street 33 wasn't lost on either of us.

"Listen, Ava, I'm sorry, but would you please get in the car?" he pleaded lightly, and the fact that he said 'please' was the sticking point for me as I sighed and moved to the passenger seat. I noticed he didn't say "please" often, as an alpha you shouldn't have to, so it meant a lot to me whether he realised it or not.

"So, is there a reason why my so-called brother didn't pick me up?" I asked as I buckled my seatbelt. The fact that this was the most opulent car I'd ever been in made me wince in amazement as I ran my fingers over the seats and dashboard,
I'd never been in anything so... expensive.

"Oh," was my simple reply, which shocked him, but I was too busy looking around the car to comment on his stunned expression.
It really was a beautiful car.

"I admit that I may have ordered him to let me get you," he said with a shrug, obviously expecting my wrath for his remark.

What he didn't catch, though, was the fact that I was touched that he hadn't lied to me, he could've easily given another excuse, but he didn't. It touched me, it really touched me that he was honest.

"You like it?" he suddenly grinned, obviously taking note of my awe as I looked around his vehicle with undisguised interest and fascination.

"Okay, I hate to admit it, but I love your car," I gushed honestly, grinning and winking at him, which almost naturally made me freeze.

I feel comfortable around him now or something?

As soon as that thought crossed my mind, the only thing I could think was, 'Shit, now I'm really in deep'.
