          Love is PURE, its adulteration is PAIN!

Ava's POV:

Ring-Ring  
 

Waking to the blazing sound of my ringtone. With shut eyes, I reached to the flank slab, to grab the cacophony monster.  
 

“Morning honey! Wakey-wakey sweetheart,” as soon I accepted the call, the sweet voices of my parents greeted me, making me smile. I swear on my soul, they’re the best.   
 

After talking to them for a few minutes. I took a shower, did my morning routine, and got arrayed. Today! I was dreading going to school. Urgh! After last night, I don’t know how to face him but I also can't hunch in my room the whole day.  
 

Guess, time to face the music. So, after feeding my babies, I did my hair and put on light makeup. Taking my phone and bag, I walked out of my room.  
 

Entering the kitchen, I saw no one. Guess, everyone already left for school. Quickly glancing at my wristwatch. Good thing, I still amassed 20 minutes.  
 

I looked around but found nothing to eat, and I was famished. So, pronto huddling the required items, I started preparing my breakfast. I opted for Ricotta and rocket quesadillas with a fried egg.  
 

What? I’m hungry, and it’s not like anyone’s waiting for me, and glancing every second to their watch. Usually, it takes 30 minutes to prepare this but the perks of being a werewolf, it took 10 minutes.  
 

After having breakfast, I went out to see Alpha Xavier leaning on his car, glancing at his watch every second. Too much for avoiding him, Ava.  
 

I should go back inside, just as I was taking a step back, his eyes snapped in my direction. He looked me up and down. We both were lost, I don’t know if I affect him the way he does.  
 

“ Come, let’s go, we are already late,” he said snapping me out of my la-la land.  
 

What? Was he waiting for me? 
 

“I can manage,” I don’t wanna go with him. Just a glimpse of his face and last night’s incident came crashing down. God, it’s so embarrassing.  
 

“Oh yeah, and how will you go,” he raised his brow. It’s true though, I don’t have any means to go to school. Not having any other option, I went towards his car. Just as I was opening the front gate… 
 

“Sit at the back,” he said. 
 

“Alright,” I sat at the back. I glance at him, to see he was gripping the wheel so tight that his knuckles are turning white. It’s like he’s fighting with something but what? 
 

“ I forgot my bag,” I murmured as I realized I had left it on the kitchen counter.  
 

“Can we go back please, I forgot my bag,” I said and the car stopped but he didn’t glance at me.  
 

“I have an important test today,” I tried again but alas, no answer.  
 

“ It’s not that far anyway, please,” I tried again, he narrowed his eyes at me.  
 

“ Or we can forget about it. Bags are overrated, anyway,” I added. I know that I’m driving him up the wall but sometimes it feels good to rile him up. He reversed the car and took off in the direction of packhouse.  
 

He stopped in front of the packhouse, and I hurried inside to take my bag. I was in such a rush, that I wrung my knee on the kitchen counter, ignoring it, I took my bag and went out.  
 

My forehead jammed, when I noticed, he was going in the polar direction of the school.  
 

“Jessica,” he noted as if this name is the justification itself, well it means of is.  
 

He stopped in front of Jessica’s house. Wasn’t she at her friend’s house last night? She’s already waiting outside, decked in a pink floral dress. I won’t lie, she’s looking beautiful.  
 

“Happy Anniversary baby,” she exclaimed and kissed him passionately.  
 

Sapphire cried, I quickly looked away. Hot pain surged through my body. Tears brimmed my eyes but I blinked them away. Can’t let them see my vulnerability.  
 

She came and sat in the front. No wonder, why he doesn’t want me to sit in the front. The car started but everything was in a blur. The pain in my knee was forgotten long ago. The pain in my heart was too much to feel anything. Can he hear the shattering of my heart?  
 

Jessica turned to me smiled sweetly,” Hey Ava,”.  
 

I greeted back, trying to sound normal. As Jessica was running her fingers through his hair. Something I yearned to do since the day, I started loving him.  
 

Trying to avert them, I grabbed Jane Eyre and started reading it.  
 

“ Oh, I love that book too,” Jessica suddenly said.  
 

“ I mean I love the way it’s inscribed. Just amazing. I do like to read a beautiful love story once in a span,” she said taking Xavier’s hand in her, which was laying on her thigh.  
 

“ I also can’t get enough of beautiful love stories especially classic,” I said sarcastically, but she just smiled sweetly.  
 

“ You also like,” she queried further.  
 

“ If I didn’t like it, then why would I read it,” I said.
