Ava Chapter 106
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. Our

Zeke put Ava down and took her hand to lead her out of the building. The other students gave them way, but he could sense that what they had just witnessed was something they did not welcome.But he didn’t give a shit. He was done hiding.He’d been sure Isolation would break Ava and he wouldn’t get a chance to tell her how he felt. He’d been sure her end would be the end of him. Of everyone at the academy.But there she was, exceeding his expectations again. She had saved herself from the Council’s invasive magic, which was the only reason he’d regained his sanity and not killed everyone. So maybe she had been able to keep them out of her head after all when they had questioned her.Was that the reason they were coming back? Was it Ava they wanted? They had been curious about him, but was it the human that had captured their attention more? Did they know she was the one who’d had Claire’s blood all over her?He looked back at her as they walked down the steps. She looked pale and tir

Ava had opted for a quick shower instead of the inviting bath the Omegas had run for her because she was starving but felt too filthy to eat. Once she rested, she hoped she would finally get a chance to soak and relax. She had longed for a chance to do that since the first day she had been in Zeke’s room. She walked into the dining room in record time and sat at the table, her mouth watering at the spread in front of her. Was this all for her?Samantha and Julie stood at the side of their room with their eyes lowered, even though no one else was there. Zeke seemed to have disappeared, instantly deflating her mood and reminding her of reality. Her imaginary Zeke and the real one were not the same person, but seeing him as she came out of Isolation had felt like a natural continuation of her time at the imaginary beach. “This looks very delicious,” she said to the Omegas.“Thank you,” Samantha said.“You’ve made enough to feed an army. Why don’t you sit down and eat, too,” Ava suggeste

Zeke sat through what felt like hours of awkward conversations and a lot of food. He noticed Ava didn’t mingle as much as her brothers with the rest of the pack and kept her answers very vague about why she was home early. He’d heard a few of them whisper that she had probably been kicked out for being a handful and disgraced the pack. He wanted to throttle them for being so disrespectful. But this was Ava’s pack, so he couldn’t pick a fight.Not when they were all looking at him like he was about to murder them all.He now understood why Ava had a hard time following the rules. There was nothing like that here. Omegas mingled and joked with Alphas, and he was sure the man cooking all the food had Alpha blood running through his veins. The children were running freely in and out. He’d been observing it all from a bench outside the backyard of the small house Ava had grown up in.Okay, it wasn’t small, but where the hell was he going to sleep? And how was he going to touch his mate wi

“How is this even fair? When I came to the academy, I was squashed under someone’s armpit in a small plane for a whole freaking day,” Ava said. “And you travelled alone in this huge private jet. You even drove yourself from the airport.”Zeke grinned as he sipped on a beer. “I wasn’t alone. I had Derek and Myles.”Ava looked at all the empty seats and rolled her eyes.“Yes, you had two other people. That makes it so much better,” she said sarcastically. “You know, I liked you better when you used to tremble in fear when you spoke to me. This new you is just too mouthy for me.”She threw a magazine at him and watched him throw his head back and laugh.The sight of it took her breath away. She hadn’t seen Zeke laugh many times, but now they had no darkness hanging over their heads. They could laugh and hang out like a normal couple. She could feel the absence of the burden that had been lifted from their shoulders as if it had been a tangible weight, and she could sense the same in he
Ava Chapter 208
Zeke walked up the road to the Infirmary with his arm around Ava.Everything still felt so surreal. He sensed the numbness all around him as everyone came to terms with the fact that they all could have died. Alpha Roland walked by Ava’s side, holding onto her hand. They hadn’t let go of each other since they had finally left the mess they had made at the Administration block to go home. He didn’t mind it, really he didn’t, but he wanted his mate all to himself. That morning, he had little hope that they would win, but now all he wanted to do was bury himself in his mate and forget about Hansson and the Council.With a sigh, he looked at the three councillors walking ahead of them. For some reason, they, too, had decided to recuperate at his house like they didn’t have a whole fucking mansion over at the guest houses. But they were still waiting for transport so they could leave and check on their families, so he didn’t say anything.He still didn’t like the three of them, but Ava s
Ava Chapter 207
Nyx finally stopped attacking when the screams stopped. When there was no heartbeat. When the light faded from those evil purple eyes that she would remember for the rest of her life.The eyes she would see every time in her wolf’s and Shadow’s eyes.Everyone stood as still as she did, taking in the destruction. Was this the end? Could she finally have the life she had hoped for with her mate by her side?Nyx retreated and allowed her to shift back. Her body was sore and bruised, and she could still feel the effects of almost being hit by the lightning. She limped over to Shadow, put her arms as far around him as she could, and closed her eyes. They were okay. They had done it.When she let go, Shadow shifted, and the man she loved took his place. Zeke engulfed her in his embrace, lifting her off her feet before he crashed his lips into hers. He could feel his relief and his hope. They were free. They could be themselves. Zeke finally put her down, and they looked back at the damage
Ava Chapter 206
Of course, they would hide something so important in plain sight. Zeke felt the change immediately the moment nothing was left of the fountain. It was like a bond had been broken. He remembered the morning he had come out to look for the councillors after their first visit, and Iulia had been messing with the fountain. He’d sensed something then; he should have put it together sooner. The beasts sniffed around the smashed fountain, at the water gushing freely from the pipes before they walked away from the rubble and started circling them. “You fools!” Hansson screamed as he picked up a piece of the sculpture. Shadow walked over to their mate and Diego, and they stood together, watching the man meltdown. They were not out of the woods yet. Though Hansson felt considerably weaker, he was still Fae and could hurt them and Alpha Roland.He looked up to see Ava’s father breathing better and his eyes glowing. The hold on him was weakening.‘We need to keep him busy to give your dad tim
Ava Chapter 205
Ava’s frustration boiled over, and she told Samantha to get Julie and stay close to Myles and Derek. Then she shifted and lowered her head. All she wanted was to get to her father, but the guards were in her way. Nyx growled. She hadn’t known Nyx long enough to know if it was a standard growl, but it felt different. It felt right. She could feel it in her whole body as Nyx took over again. And when Shadow came to stand beside her, and the growl came from deep within him, she felt the strength of their bond. One by one, the people in front of them stopped and lowered their gazes, soldiers and students alike. It was not something she usually liked, but she understood her wolf now, and this was the only way they would get to her father. They had to show their dominance.She felt something else. It was more than the darkness she felt in Nyx’s soul; it was all around them. She felt it the same way she felt the evil in the forest both times that she had gone in. It was the same darkness s
Ava Chapter 204
There was a shift in the air.Zeke guessed it was because Iulia was not focusing her magic as she wept over her lover. Was he dead? It felt like it, but he didn’t give a shit. What caught his attention was that the councillors’ strength was noticeably reduced. ‘We can take them now,’ Shadow growled. But there was another scream, and this one hit him in the heart again.He shifted and was by Ava’s side in seconds, taking her into his arms as he tried to figure out what happened. Mr Patrick was struggling to sit up with Jared’s help. But Alpha Roland was gone. He knew what had happened, but they had to be still at the academy. Hansson was a sadistic asshole; he would make sure Ava witnessed whatever he had in mind for Alpha Roland before he killed them all.“We’ll find him,” he whispered, tightening his hold on his mate. They had to go before Iulia and Diego calmed down and did as they were told. He looked back at the trio and saw Alpha Diego was still standing over the other two. W
Ava Chapter 203
Nyx took a bite of Hansson’s shoulder before he realised what had happened. She tasted his blood on her tongue, and it was putrid. Vile like the man himself.Before she could sink her teeth in further, Hansson disappeared into thin air and appeared on the other side of the stage. The men he had been holding hostage fell to the stage, released in that moment of confusion. But she knew it wouldn’t be for long. Hansson would get his bearings and take his anger out on all of them. She stood in front of them to protect them and ignored the panic and commotion she felt and heard from the imprisoned students.Nothing filled her mind now except the rage. The need for revenge.Nyx lowered her snout to the ground, ready to attack again, when she saw the beast standing beside her. It was Shadow, but... Something was different. He seemed bigger. His head was lowered, and his hackles raised as he snarled at the councillors, frothing at the lips as if rabid. And his eyes were purple. “What is th
Ava Chapter 202
“Let’s play a little game.”Ava couldn’t move her head, so she was stuck looking at the faces of the people who would die today if she didn’t pick five of them to sacrifice. They had all been forced back from the top of the road to witness the next murder. She sensed desperation. Terror. They were all looking above her at Jared, waiting for his life to be taken like Dexter’s. Even the teachers stood helplessly by. She had never seen the dean looking so scared.Nobody should have to live with this kind of fear hanging over them. Fear that one wrong move and someone stronger than them would swoop in and end them.Dexter had been innocent, and now his parents would have to come to collect his body as Emily’s parents had done.Innocent. Gone all because of her. ‘It’s not your fault. It’s Hansson’s fault.’Zeke’s voice was so clear in her head as if he had been listening to all her thoughts, but she couldn’t get anything from him except what he wanted her to hear. “How many of these will
