Chapter 4

Phoenix's POV

I was staring at Ava's lips and her words were swirling around inside my brain, so she was hungry for a blood bag and she wanted food and something else, all I could do was smirk at her "Ok, well we can go to my place after we eat and you can have your blood there if you want? Then tonight you can come to work with me if you want? and maybe we can get you a job or something if you want to stay for a bit?" I kept throwing question after question at her, I had absolutely no idea why I was saying all these things to her but I was all of a sudden very nervous. I don't know exactly why maybe it was because she was my mate and I didn't want to let her go, or maybe it was because of her eyes and the secret she was hiding from me. I knew that she was hiding something I could feel it but I guess that in time maybe she would tell me.

Ava looked at me with a smile "That would be great if we can go after I'm quite thirsty so it will be a relief to finally get something and I am hungry too. I don't know about the job and stuff though I really need to keep moving....." She slowly trailed off as though she had started saying too much. I wish that she wasn't keeping secrets from me, it really hurt me and my wolf but I guess we had only just met but I really wish that she would trust me, but I guess I had my own secret that I was yet to tell her.

So we made it to the restaurant in town, well it was just a little dinner and was run by werewolves not many humans came into town so it was quite easy for us to be us around here. We both ordered medium rare steaks with curly fries and wedges. It was the best steak in town and always cooked on the rarer side for the wolves. Whilst here I decided to ask a few questions about her I really wanted to get to know her. " So Ava, Tell me something about yourself how old are you? What's your favourite colour?"

"Well I just turned 18 today and my favourite colour is purple, how old are you and what is your favourite colour?" She asked boldly before popping a curly fry into her mouth. 18 wow she was so young and had already found her mate I guess that's a pretty good birthday present I thought as I smiled back at her "I'm 20 and my favourite colour is red although I'm pretty partial to those pretty silver eyes of yours gorgeous" I watched as a pretty pink rose in her cheeks, I loved seeing that colour on her it made her seem so innocent and from what I could smell I guess she was definitely innocent. That thought made me smile she was innocent and I hopefully would be her first. As we fell into a comfortable silence I noticed the sun going down and I noticed that Ava had started to sweat a little and shake. I looked up at her pale face "Ava, sweetheart are you ok?" I asked cautiously, she nodded slowly and then said in a low voice "I need to feed." Quickly I stood up and went over to her "my house isn't far can you make it? or do you want to go into the bathroom?" She looked up at me and then just as she opened her mouth her eyes closed and she went limp and started to fall towards the floor. I quickly grabbed her and rushed out of the diner and using my werewolf speed quickly sped to the pack hospital. Hopefully they could help her I didn't know she could pass out like that from not drinking blood. Little did I know what was to follow.
