Ava Sullivan

It had been Betty White's wish to marry an ordinary man. Somehow, she became the mate of a Alpha? He promised to love her forever, dote on her, and cherish her. She believed this should be what happiness looked like until one day he threw a pad of papers at her. "Betty, we should get divorced." She fell from Heaven, her heart breaking into pieces. Five years later, she came back and met him again. No longer alone, she was accompanied by a cute kid. The child looked at the man, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Mommy, this man looks just like me. Is he your baby too?"

Alpha Next Door

I stumble a few steps, trying to make it look as if I was running. I know that I’m just stalling, grabbing a few precious moments to be able to pull my act together – because this is the only shot I have. If I mess this up, my pack will pay for it. If I can’t manage to hold myself together for them, then everything else in my little world will fall apart.

I’m not going to let anyone get hurt because of me. I’ve been hurt because of my father, and I know how it feels. To be punished for things you couldn’t stop. For things you didn’t do.

My pack doesn’t deserve that. More pain than I ever went through, because of me.

I don’t let myself think about Aaron, or little Heath. That sweet baby, the adorable kid with the big eyes and messy hair. Aaron, my rock, my anchor, holding me to this world when all I wanted was to leave it.
