Chapter 17

SEVENTEEN

"Good Morning!" a voice said. 

Ava was very startled after she heard a cheerful voice. 

She looked up to see a young boy running toward her, his bright eyes were wide with curiosity. 

He could not have been older than ten, his wild curls cut out his round face that was filled with excitement. 

"Hi," Ava said, putting the stick aside. 

"I am Theo!" the boy said, sitting down next to her without even waiting for an invitation. 

"You are the new wolf, right? The one that Alpha Asher brought in?" he asked. 

"Yes, that's me," Ava replied, forcing a smile. 

Theo bent his head, looking at her in a way that reminded her of Asher. 

"You don't actually look like a rogue," he said finally. 

"What does a rogue look like?" Ava chuckled softly. 

"Scary, I guess. But you are not scary at all, but you are kind of nice." Theo said. 

"Thanks, I think," Ava said, smiling.
