My One And Only

My One And Only
Ava and Lucas have been inseparable best friends since childhood. Shy and innocent, Ava has always relied on the protective Lucas, who is intimidating to everyone but her. Now at 16, Ava must navigate the challenges of public school after a lifetime of homeschooling. How will the possessive Lucas handle the new people entering Ava's life? Unbeknownst to Ava, Lucas harbors a significant secret: he is a werewolf, and she is his destined mate.

The morning light filters into the small room, but you're keenly aware of the heavy weight across your stomach. Lucas. He's a deep sleeper, as usual, his arm draped across you, pinning you to the uncomfortable single bed.

You squirm, needing to get up, but his grip is firm. This is a familiar dance – waking up tangled with Lucas, your best friend since forever, who always manages to end up in your bed at the children's home.

"Lu Lu!" you whine, poking his arm, then his cheek. No response. You tug at his arm across your stomach. He just groans and pulls you closer, his head nuzzling your neck.

"Lu Lu! I have to pee!" you insist, shaking his body. Reluctantly, he releases you, allowing you to scramble out of bed and make a dash for the bathroom, the urgent need overriding your usual shyness.
