NovelsFreeChapter 138 Ava: A Shocking Finale (II)
"Such a naughty kitten," the vampire mutters, scowling in a way that erases the beauty of his face.
The vampire's grip tightens, crushing my throat as | thrash against him. My lungs scream for air. | claw at his
hands, nails scraping uselessly against unyielding flesh. Panic floods my mind, blotting out rational thought.
Your training, Ava! Remember your training! Selene's voice slices through my rising hysteria.
Right. Training. Jericho's lessons flash through my oxygen-starved brain. | stop flailing and focus, letting my body
go limp, conserving strength. The vampire smirks, misreading it as submission. His cold breath washes over my
face as he leans in, nostrils flaring.
He's...sniffing me?
Revulsion churns my stomach as his nose skims along my jaw, down to the crook of my neck. He lingers there,
inhaling deeply, a pleased rumble vibrating his chest.
The scar, Ava! Don't let him near it! Selene's warning ricochets through my head. He can't bite you there!
Fragmented memories resurface—Selene cautioningabout my scar during my heat, insisting | keep Clayton

Gritting my teeth, | shove at the vampire's face, fingernails gouging. He snarls, jerking back slightly but not
releasing me. The pressure on my windpipe eases a fraction and I suck in a desperate breath, spots dancing
across my vision.
That scar is where your power leaks out. It's like a drug to creatures who can sense it. It isn't quite an
aphrodisiac, but it can be, in the right circumstances, Selene explains rapidly.
Well that's just great, | grouse in my head, still scrabbling to dislodge the vampire's chokehold. Whose brilliant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtidea was it to put a magic neon 'bite me' sign on my neck?
Selene growls in frustration. Just protect it, Ava! Don't let him break the skin there, no matter what!
The vampire chuckles darkly, his grip loosening as he nuzzles into my neck again, lips brushing my hammering
pulse. Lightheadedness swampsand | giggle, strangely giddy, before | realize it's the lack of oxygen making
"Such an enticing scent," he murmurs against my skin, tongue flicking out to taste. Bile rises in my throat. "What
is that delectable aroma, little wolf?"
Hysteria bubbles up, escaping in a strangled laugh. "Must be the pancakes | had for breakfast."
His answering hiss is a mixture of irritation and amusement. "So the kitten has claws." Cool fingers ghost across
my collarbone, tracing the neck of my shirt. "Shall we see what other secrets you're hiding?"
Something whizzes by my ear, embedding itself in the vampire's neck with a sickening squelch. Blood spurts
from the wound, splattering us both in a grotesque crimson spray. The coppery tang assaults my nose, but
there's an underlying sweetness that makes my stomach heave. It's cloying, like rotting fruit, and | gag on the
scent, fighting the urge to vomit as I'm dropped to the ground.
The vampire staggers back, his eyes wide with shock and fury. His hand flies to his neck, wrenching out the
object lodged there. It's a knife, the blade slick with his blood. He snarls, fangs bared, as he tosses it aside.
Suddenly, Teddy is there, grabbing my arm and haulingto my feet. | stumble, legs shaky, as he shoves me
behind him. He faces off against the vampire, fists raised, body coiled with tension.
"Get your friend and run," Teddy grits out, not taking his eyes off the seething creature before us. "I'll hold him
off."
I hesitate, torn between helping Teddy and reaching Lisa. But Teddy is already moving, launching himself at the
vampire with a guttural roar, shifting as he rushes in.
Tearing my gaze away, | scramble to Lisa's side. She's still unconscious, her breathing shallow. | shake her
shoulders, calling her name, but she doesn't respond. Panic claws at my chest. | need to get her out of here,
away from the danger.
A sickening crunch makeswhip my head around. My heart seizes in my chest. Teddy lies crumpled on the
ground, his head twisted at an unnatural angle. His wolf eyes stare sightlessly at the sky, his muzzle slack. The
vampire stands over him, lips curled in a cruel smile.
"Foolish pup," he sneers, wiping blood from his chin. "Did you really think you could best me?"
Cold laughter rings out as he steps over Teddy's body, advancing onwith predatory grace. | scramble to my
feet, positioning myself between him and Lisa. My hands shake, my breath coming in sharp gasps, but I clench
my fists, readying myself for a fight.
Remember your training, Selene whispers urgently in my mind. Use his strength against him. Go for the weak
points—eyes, throat, groin.
I nod, more to myself than to her. The vampire stalks closer, his gaze raking overwith a mix of hunger and
amusement.
"still want to play, little wolf?" he taunts, circlingslowly. "I promise I'll make it worth your while."
Revulsion shudders through me, but | force it down, keeping my eyes locked on his. | can't let him distract me. |
