Ava Chapter 104
There was a dead silence the moment Ava walked into the Arena. She couldn’t stop her cheeks from heating up as she kept her head down and walked quickly towards her section. It didn’t help matters that Zeke was right behind her with his Alpha and Beta. They had separated at the door the other times, but now they seemed to follow her to the bleachers.Were they making a statement of sorts? Did it not worry them that they looked like they were breaking the rules by giving an Omega preferential treatment? That their Alpha looked like he was cavorting with a human? She would get so much hate from the other Omegas for this.And, most importantly, someone would tell the Council about this. If they had their spies here, as Mr Patrick said, then she had failed miserably to stay off their radar. What exactly were they looking for? Evidence that they had killed Claire and her friends? Was the end game to take their lives like they had taken the other wolves’ lives? Mr Patrick had been too crypt

Ava quelled the hint of excitement she felt when Dexter walked into the ring with a sharp axe in each hand. She didn’t understand where this excitement came from. Usually, in the face of such danger, her fear would have crippled her and she would have been on the verge of a panic attack. Dexter gripped both axes as he stood in his corner without moving, his gaze not leaving her face for a second.Her heart should have been pounding. She’d dreaded seeing Dexter again, but right now, all she felt was the adrenaline rush because she wanted to beat him again. She wanted to bring this jerk to his knees again and have him beg for mercy.They were impossible thoughts. Luck had been on her side last time; Dexter certainly wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. But it didn’t stop her from imagining it. She wanted that so bad she was practically drooling, even if Dexter’s axes looked sharp enough to slice a limb right off.She pulled herself back at that thought. She would be enclosed in a mag

Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds. Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds.Claws.Claire’s face. Screams.The darkness creeping closer and closer until she couldn’t see. Coating her whole body. Her insides. The sticky molasses all over her. Violet eyes. Red eyes. Pain, so much pain in her head. Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds.Everything repeating, playing on a loop.Ava shot up with a jolt to the early morning light streaming through the curtains. The darkness receded from her mind as her heart hammered in her chest. “Sshh...”It was only when she heard his voice and felt his hand gently rubbing her back that she realised she was in Zeke’s bed again.And she was in nothing but her sports bra and underwear! She lay back down quickly, drawing the bedding over her body as she put some distance between them. She felt the loss of contact with him as if she had ripped a part of herself off her body.Zeke was wide awake, and the covers had fallen to his waist. His naked chest was exposed, and

Ava went to the arena early and sat in her section before anyone else started arriving. She was sure this day would see more injuries than the other two combined. “I don’t know why you’re feeling so calm today, but I need you to stay alert.”She looked at the tense Alpha who had followed her into the Arena and sat beside her.“I’m always alert.”“You exceeded my expectations the first two days, but today is the most dangerous. Even a weak Omega would be a formidable opponent when they shift.”“I know that. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be going home to make a big breakfast in less than an hour.”Zeke turned his head to catch her gaze. He seemed to understand what she meant because she saw him relax his shoulders as he released a breath.“Okay. Okay, that’s good. Make yourself at home, stay inside, and I’ll see you at lunchtime.” Of course, an Alpha like Zeke couldn’t tap out and leave early. He would never be able to hold his head high again. “When do we get to know the results of thi

Something was wrong.As Zeke’s angry haze slowly disappeared, he watched how his mate sank to the ring mat. Her body started trembling, and her fear almost knocked him over. But she wasn’t scared of him; he could sense that. This was something else. Why was she in his ring?His gaze shifted to the people surrounding the ring, and he growled at them, warning them to keep away from his mate. With Shadow’s size, it only took moments to walk around, cataloguing everything and everyone’s scents to try and see where the danger was. Everyone backed off, and the stench of their fear assaulted his nose. He would rip any of them apart if they had hurt Ava.‘Let’s do it anyway. It’s time we showed them she belongs to us,’ Shadow said.It was tempting. He’d been holding back so long that the urge to hunt down everyone who had hurt Ava since she had started at the academy was stronger than ever. But Ava’s fear was getting progressively worse, pulling him back to where she sat. Shadow inched clos

“You have continuously skirted the rules since you got here, Miss Morgan. Your disrespectful nature is what makes you unsuitable for my Academy.”Ava had never felt so much resentment for anybody as she followed behind the dean.“Maybe you should have listened to me in the first place,” she mumbled.The dean stopped and twirled around, his blue eyes glowing as he growled at her.The guards who were dragging her out of the training block tightened their grip on her arms and forced her to stop. Their fingers painfully dug into her flesh as they held her in place. There would be huge bruises on her skin to match their giant hands when they finally let her go. Seriously, where did they get such huge guards? Even the guard at the gate had been big, and he’d looked just as serious as these two. She hadn’t struggled once she accepted the consequences of her actions, so their aggression was completely unnecessary. “I don’t know what you have offered Alpha Ezekiel in return for his protection

Zeke returned to his senses the moment Ava’s pain turned off like a switch.He would have thought she was dead if he hadn’t sensed her calm, almost content emotions instead. The ring was destroyed to shreds all around him, and his body was cut up in several places where he had smashed into the magical barrier and the ring. He ignored the blood and the pain as he walked around the damage he had done. The witches were still chanting, but they were sitting down now, breathless and their heads lolling to their sides. Instead of three, there were six now, and they were slumped against each other to maintain contact instead of holding hands. They had drained themselves. It looked like they’d had to reinforce their barriers constantly.How long had he been stuck in his rage?Right beside them, the dean stood with his arms crossed, watching him. “Let me out, Alpha Russell,” he said calmly.He knew the Alpha could still sense his cold fury despite how calm he now was. It was impossible to hi

Ava laughed. She sat facing her imaginary Zeke, who had been amazing to talk to. She hadn’t been this free since arriving at Phoenix Academy, and his dry sense of humour had cracked her up for...Well, she had no idea. The sun was still up in the sky, and she knew it was all imaginary anyway, so she couldn’t use it to judge how long she had been stuck in Isolation. And even though this Zeke was imaginary, too, she couldn’t help wondering what it would be like if this was the real him. The conversation had been light and carefree. She hadn’t steered it towards what she imagined was happening to her body in that dark room or what was happening to Zeke now. A dark cloud formed quickly and blocked out the sunshine.“Focus on me, Ava.”She quickly did just that. Every time she had even the slightest thought of how terrifying her reality was, the weather in this place changed. “I wonder how I’m even here,” she mused as she watched the dark evaporate. “I’ve never seen a beach before.

Ava Chapter 219
The Silver Daggers. A bunch of fucking neanderthals who’d dwindled their numbers down before the Council had formed to take them down. Probably the only good thing the Council had done.Psychopaths on the same level as Hansson, with their well-documented kills and torture methods. And they had somehow dug up enough information on his mate to have a recent photo of her and also know which orphanage she’d been at before being adopted. In which world was that the kind of information someone kept to themselves?Shadow growled in his head, pissed off with Ava’s family for the first time since meeting Roland. ‘Let’s go hunt them down,’ he ordered. Oh, that was a given. The only question was how to make Ava go back home. Dealing with Hansson together was one thing. They had been trapped at the academy and had no other option. But he would not willingly let Ava face another asshole like Hansson. He would not risk her life. “Answer me,” Ava said, stepping closer to Nate.“No, I don’t thin
Ava Chapter 218
Ava glared at her brothers after she pulled a T-shirt over her head. The boys had accepted shorts and were already eating bowls of meat and vegetable stew that they had been offered. How could they even eat at a time like this? She took her place beside Zeke, and the older woman who’d given her the clothes gave her a bowl, too. She recognised her as the Luna immediately. Audrey had come forward before Nate could tell her anything about the secret they were keeping.When her father first brought her to visit the Moonvalley Pack, she was impressed that the pack's protection fell on all their shoulders equally despite being so traditional in other roles. Her father said Luna Audrey could kick ass as hard as Alpha Barrett.“I’m sorry, Luna. I don’t think I can eat right now,” she said, smiling at the woman.“Your wolf needs to eat,” Luna Audrey said, pushing the bowl towards her. “It’s true, isn’t it? You shifted?”Her reputation as the only human in the Mystic River territory had spread
Ava Chapter 217
The air was sharper, and his eyes picked up the smallest grain of soil—as impossible as that seemed. He could hear the smallest critters scurrying under the decomposing matter on the forest floor. His hind legs launched him easily over shrubs and fallen trees while the wind rushed past his face with an almost overwhelming force.His heart pumped with the surge of adrenaline, and below that, the strange, unfamiliar energy. What the hell was this? Nyx hadn’t stopped running since they shifted when they reached the forest. Keeping close behind her, Shadow followed the almost non-existent trail. Even with his stronger senses, Alpha Morgan’s scent wasn’t there at all. And the warriors he’d taken with him must have been some of his best men because they’d hardly left a trail.He’d expected Nyx to flounder a few times because she was still new, but the other half of him hadn’t lost the trail even once. Not that he expected anything different. Even without the strange boost they seemed to
Ava Chapter 216
No. No, no, no.Her fault. Why the hell hadn’t she trusted herself?Ava was out of the door before anyone could stop her. The guards had already gathered in the front yard, discussing what was happening. “...they’ve brought the bodies to the morgue. Can’t recognise them...”“...might be the same rogues that attacked the Moonvalley pack...”“...they didn’t make it there, so we still don’t know what’s going on over there...”Her fault.It was Emily and Dexter all over again.She shouldn’t have stayed in the background when she knew she was strong enough to help.“Ava,” Caleb called out as he followed her down the front steps. “I’ve already organised the search party. The trackers are already out there, and I’m going to join them. Stay here and—”“Even now, you’re trying to stop me?” she asked, facing her brothers.“It’s not safe—”“Then tell me why the hell you’ve kept me inside when you know I can help?” she growled.Caleb didn’t look away from her, but Nate, Alex, and Nick glanced a
Ava Chapter 215
Ava opened the back door again and glared at the wolf leaning against a tree at the edge of the forest. It was long past noon, and there hadn’t been any word from her father or the people he’d left with. Nyx growled, growing restless. She should have listened to her wolf from the start.Nyx was not very vocal, but she understood her wolf’s emotions perfectly. And it wasn’t helping that something else was simmering just under her skin, ready to burst. It had worried her when she woke, but there were bigger things to worry about now. Anxiety made the wait unbearable.Her father had always taught her to stand up for herself, so whatever rumours were going around about Zeke shouldn’t have made him go to such extremes. It was easy to prove that he was innocent. Why did it feel like she was missing something?That was the only thing stopping her from going after him. The fact that she didn’t know what was really going on. Her brothers were protective but always let her make her own choices.
Ava Chapter 214
It was strange to see all four mini Morgans looking at him directly without an ounce of fear. He and Ava sat on one couch while the brothers sat on the massive leather one that ran along two walls of the lounge. They had the same ash-blond hair in different styles and the same piercing blue eyes. Alpha Roland’s genes were clearly superior because he couldn’t see a trace of their mother. Even the judgy expressions were the same as their father’s.“Is this what they teach you in your pack? To disrespect a girl in her own home?” Caleb growled.They’d remained quiet until they herded him and Ava into the house. The rest of the pack had remained at the school, but he could sense some of them coming closer.“I meant no disrespect—”“She’s my little sister,” Caleb interrupted. “Don’t give me that bullshit.”As the oldest and the one who would take charge after his father, Caleb would have been given the same lessons as he had. At least the basics. Did he not understand what a true mate was?
Ava Chapter 213
Okay, now that was messed up. Nyx went on alert when all the attention focussed on Zeke, and Ava’s blood started to simmer. “Why are you looking at him?” she asked, finally lifting her head to look around the room.She’d anticipated some backlash once everyone heard the whole story about Hansson but assumed it would die as quickly as it usually did when she caused her father some trouble. It was why she’d not wanted to cause any waves for minor things. But for them to call Zeke a demon and blatantly suspect him of such a heinous crime?“He’s walking around with you, so something is obviously wrong with him,” Riley muttered from somewhere behind her.“As opposed to a wolf who can barely shift and can’t be admitted to an academy where a mere human was accepted?” she growled, not ashamed to hit below the belt.Several gasps brought her back to her senses, and she breathed deeply to calm the storm brewing inside her.The last time anyone had been a threat to Zeke, she’d levelled him in
Ava Chapter 212
Zeke glanced back at the women who reminded him so much of Amber and her cronies before allowing Ava to pull him toward several single-storey buildings nestled under the forest canopy.‘Are you sure you don’t want me to take care of them?’ he asked again.Time had already proven that they had to get rid of their enemies before they took things too far. As the future Alpha of his pack, he’d learned that lesson well before his peers. Ava would have to start thinking like a Luna—Alpha?—so the burden of leadership on her shoulders wouldn’t become too heavy to bear. ‘I’m more worried about this damn meeting. Let’s just find out what’s going on.’He could relate to that. After living in fight-or-flight mode for so long, it was tempting to let all the other shit go. As they approached, he sensed that many people had gathered in one of the buildings, and the hum of their conversations drifted to his ears. “Is this where you learned to fight?” he asked aloud. The buildings looked like they
Ava Chapter 211 - Happy Ever After?
There was something weird in her body. Or could Ava call it that when her whole bond with Zeke was strange? But as the wind blew her red, curly hair and the morning sun warmed her face, she knew something within her had changed. Again.Was it Nyx? She hadn’t been acquainted with her wolf long enough to know if something was wrong, but surely she wasn’t supposed to keep getting stronger. When she marked Zeke and they defeated Hansson, it felt like they were already at the top of their game. But now, something coursed through her blood, a fire that hadn’t been there before, almost fighting with the constant darkness inside her. It was as if, without the threat of death, Nyx was free to be herself and lean into her bond with Zeke and Shadow. Nothing was holding her back now.But there was something else to consider. Something that could have been the cause. Her parents.Alpha Diego was stronger than any wolf she knew, and he’d said his parents had both been like him. The true mate bond ma
