CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE

Avilla's pov. The car ride was awfully silent, my aunt didn't want to speak to me. She appeared to be thinking deeply about something and I didn't want to say anything to her too. She needs to tell me the truth and until she does then we have nothing to say to each other, she knows that I hated it when my parents kept things from me and she is doing worse. All these things happening in my life and she still has the guts to keep something from me. "When we get back, I will be going back to work. I have a lot to catch up on" Oh you do, don't you? She wasn't going anywhere till she told me the truth. I was trying so hard not to hit the car wheels because I just couldn't believe her. She wanted to run from this but I won't let her. I couldn't stop thinking about this, it was typical of adults to try and protect you even when it is trying to kill you, my parents did that till it killed them and she still doesn't want to let up. Maybe if I hadn't seen her shifting, I still wouldn't know anything about my nature. It was annoying. I had a lot of things to say to her that would enlighten her about my mood but I didn't want her to put defenses on. "Okay" I answered instead. That would show her, she wouldn't know what hit her, I saw her look at me from the corner of her eye probably wondering why I am not lashing out but I ignored her. "Did you enjoy your latte?" I asked quietly. "Yeah, it was really good" she said. I nodded at her, the faster she believed nothing was wrong, the better for me. I couldn't explain why I felt more at home there than in my own town. The connection to Vladimir and the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about how vibrant the color of his eyes were. Maybe it was because I was still close and could feel him. I focused on my driving, I couldn't risk getting into a car crash right now. I needed to get home first and discuss with my aunt then I would know what to do with my life. I feel that I am not in control of it anymore. So many things happening at once, it was making me lose track of what I came here for. To heal and start afresh but none of that has happened, every day I am getting more surprised at the turn of events and I didn't like it one bit. I haven't had time for myself and instead all the events since day one has been wrapped around a guy and it made me feel ashamed. My parents wouldn't have wanted this for me. When I get back, I am going to settle all the scored with everyone starting with my aunt and Rohan. It was time I take my life back. I finally got close to the town and my aunt offered to drive so I could rest. I wasn't against that so we switched. "Should we put the radio on?" She asked. "Yes, please do." I told her. I didn't want music on, I wanted the truth but yeah sure, let's start with music. The speakers blared and she started singing softly to it. I closed my eyes and listened with my head resting against the chair. Music was a good idea, it made me less sad and I stopped thinking about Vladimir for a second. Vladimir. The fact that he was determined even when he knows that werewolves and vampires do not mate, it was fascinating and sweet at the same time. When my own kind couldn't even see past his vanity. This one did. It made me smile, now I can stop thinking about what is wrong with me and instead channel it in finding out how I can be with Vladimir instead. He was warm with me, I didn't have to beg for him to be that at all. I could see that he wasn't one to be warm normally, his eyes showed that he was cold to others but he let all that go when he was with me and instead showed me how being with him could be. I hoped Camilla is okay with this, I didn't want us to have problems because she would want to side with her brother even when she knows that he has hurt me several times. It would be unfair for her to expect me to choose him when the moon goddess have clearly shown me that Rohan is not worthy of me. I would talk to her as soon as I figure things out first, I didn't want to push it. It is possible that I wouldn't see Vladimir again because he didn't know the town I lived or where I school and others. If he is indeed going to track me down then I have more time to get rid of Rohan and his baggage at once. At least now I had a good purpose to accept his rejection finally and move on. I just had to talk to my wolf and know her intake on this. She hasn't stirred or made any move since Vladimir appeared. No, long before that. She retreated after the whole thing happened with Rohan and his bimbo. I would give her time to heal then we would talk about it and how to deal with our current situation. Although I wouldn't call it a situation because if I was unhappy about Vladimir's presence in my life then it would be one but since I was excited and nervous at the same time. All good signs of something good happening then a situation would hardly be the right name for this new development.
