Her possessive alpha novel Chapter 29

　　The forbidden lake

　　“In that case Ava, I wish you all the very best with your new mate. That’ll be all.”

　　Ava left the room feeling something move in her heart. She’d expected that when she told him she was leaving, he’d try to change her mind but he didn’t, he didn’t even show any form of reaction whatsoever, he truly was letting her go. But why did he change his mind all of a sudden? She didn’t know, and she knew she was tempted to tell herself she didn’t care at that moment but that would be a fat lie. She cared so much about him, even though he did things she didn’t like, it never stopped the attraction she felt for him. It never made her feelings for him die down, and now he was letting her go.

　　As she walked back to her room feeling a bit disappointed, she was thinking of where to tell Ray where she’d been these few days she’d gone missing when she got home. She couldn’t tell him she was here, nor she’d been kidnapped. For some reason, she didn’t want any conflict between her mate and her betrothed and as she began to think of another excuse, her eyes met little Meeka in tears in front of her room. The girl looked so bright and happy during breakfast this morning, what could now be the reason for her sudden sadness?

　　She reached where Meeka was and bent so she would be on the same level with the young one.

　　“Hello Meeka, what’s the matter dear?”

　　Meeka sniffed and pouted. “It’s the carved wooden dolly that daddy made for me before the bad roggies attacked our pack. Someone threw it into the lake by mistake and she says only you can help me get it. Mommy will be mad if you don’t help me get it.”

　　It sounded strange to her, why would she be the only one in this whole pack house able to retrieve a carved wooden doll from the lake? But the sad little girl in front of her was the main picture in her mind now, she would figure out whatever it was later but for now it was time to help little Meeka retrieve her dolly. Then she would go home from there.

　　“Ok Meeka, can you show me where the lake is?”

　　“It’s behind the garden.”

　　Ava recalled seeing the lake when she was on the walk with Cian this morning, she knew where it was. It was a small lake on a lower ground level behind the pack house garden, retrieving something from there shouldn’t be hard, she thought.

　　“Ok dear, let’s go.”

　　She led the girl out of her quarters and out the back, past the garden and then to the lake. The lake was truly shallow, as she could already see the head of the doll poking out from the surface.

　　“Ok Meeka, wait here,” she said to her as they reached the bank. Ava bent to take off her shoes and roll up her sleeves and then her trousers, and as she proceeded forward to dip her leg into the lake, a strong wave of electricity jolted through her entire body system, tipping her completely off balance and making her drop into the lake unconsciously. Little Meeka screamed in horror upon seeing what happened.

　　“Ahhhhh!!!!” Was the only voice she could let out as she ran to call her mother.
