Ava Chapter 117
Ava stopped struggling when she realised it was useless. And she also realised that no matter how scared or angry she was with him, her body still reacted to the contact as if he was her source of life. She craved him with every fibre of her being.It was terrifying. It was exhilarating.As Zeke marched up the stairs in his house, she saw Derek and Myles come out of the living room to watch. She could almost tell what they were thinking when they looked at each other and then back at the door Zeke had left open when he had walked in. They hadn’t even realised she had gone. She hid her face behind her curtain of hair that was dangling down, and of course, it was then Zeke’s very muscular butt she was directly looking at. Probably the most perfect glutes on the face of the earth.She bit her lip, but she didn’t close her eyes.Maybe there was something wrong with her. Perhaps something inside her was broken—damaged beyond repair—to make her want Zeke so much when she knew what he was.

“Where exactly are we going?”Zeke looked back at Ava and squeezed her hand in reassurance. He’d still sensed her fear when she woke up, which increased when she realised they were heading into the woods. “You’ll see.”It would have been quicker if he’d shifted and carried her there or even run with her on his back, but she didn’t seem to want any contact with him at all. Understandable. It had been torture having her rub her body all over him earlier when he could sense how hot for him she’d been. And now she’d only allowed him to hold her hand once they had come deeper into the woods. It was a lot darker under the canopy of the trees, but he knew it wasn’t the darkness that was making her so scared. The woods blended into the cursed forest surrounding the academy, so few people ventured this far. There wasn’t even a path for them to follow, so Ava was relying on his sight to lead the way.“I think we can talk here. We’re far enough away from anybody else.”“Just be patient a little

Ava ran back into the woods without thinking. She had been raised in a forest, so she knew she would find her way out eventually, and there wasn’t much of a chance of getting lost when the only direction she could head in was away from the magic prickling her skin from the dark forest. Zeke was insane. Did he really think she would be that easy?Sure, she behaved like a whore every time he touched her, and the incident earlier hadn’t helped anything. She was pretty sure her body was still reacting to him, even after the nap before the picnic. But to say she was his?Wolves who mated spoke like that about each other! How could Zeke speak like that? In his case, she would not be his mate. How could she be? She was human, and he was an Alpha. She would be his toy until he found a wolf who could help him lead his pack. His future Luna.So, the two of them together would never happen. She would take endless cold showers to stop this madness if she had to. But still, she’d run away from

Ava stepped back.She had known from the first day that she would die in this place, but hearing Mr Patrick say it hammered it in. “Who wants to kill me?” she asked weakly. But she already knew. What she didn’t know was why. Did they know what she had done?“They know everything, Ava. I told you not to go into the forest. Everything in there belongs to them. Do you understand? They know.”The sudden burst of energy that she’d had was depleted. She dragged her feet to the first bench and gently lowered her body. She felt no pain but still felt as if her body had broken into pieces. If they knew, why was she still here? That was the number one rule of the academy. Never step foot into the forest.“And that’s what’s been keeping me up at night,” Mr Patrick said.“Stop that.”She felt too drained to concentrate on shielding her thoughts. “You’ve brought attention to yourself, Ava. I gave you that potion so you could spend the rest of the evaluations in the infirmary, but you still cam

Zeke watched his mate through a red haze of his fury. How could she even sit there as if nothing was wrong? He was in agony. Shadow was in pieces. All because of her. She’d taken his heart and crushed it. Ripped it to shreds like she didn’t give a shit. Which was now glaringly obvious that she didn’t. She had fought this from day one.And then, to find her locked in a room with another man was the last straw. What had they even been doing in here?He refused to acknowledge that Mr Patrick was one of her teachers and there might be an innocent explanation.“What the fuck are you doing in here?” he growled.He’d still been at the lake when he had felt like something was off. It was surprising that he’d felt anything at all beyond the excruciating pain.“Nothing,” Ava whispered.And her fear added insult to his injuries. What did she think he would do to her? What could he possibly do to her that wouldn’t hurt him?He glared at Mr Patrick, who didn’t look the least bit scared of him. H

Ava was still shaking when she finally made it to her first lesson, and the weight was back on her shoulders. Her body felt too heavy.She was broken. Instead of worrying about what Mr Patrick told her and the fact that the Council was after her, she kept thinking of Zeke. Had she made him that angry by refusing to kiss him that he didn’t want to be in the same house? Couldn’t he see for himself that a relationship between them was impossible?Still, it weighed heavily on her mind that something was wrong with her, mentally and physically. She didn’t understand what was said in any of her classes, and she had no idea how she ended up in the queue in the dining hall at lunchtime. There was a fog in her mind, and the only thing that brought her out of it was when someone touched her shoulder.She blinked and looked up to see Derek in front of her with a frown on his face. “Get your food, then we’ll go and eat outside,” he said. Why? Was Zeke waiting for her?She nodded and moved forw

Ava stopped her tears and wriggled her feet for her father to put her down. The Alpha’s huge hands immediately went on either side of her face as he looked at her."Who hurt you?"She saw the anger in his eyes as he wiped her tears and knew there would be hell to pay if she told him everything. "Nobody. I'm just so happy to see you," she lied. Alpha Roland looked behind her and growled. Only then did she notice that Derek and Myles came to stand behind her, and their heads were bowed after the Alpha's warning. "They're my friends," she assured him quickly. "Names," her father growled. The two wolves both flinched before they answered. She had never met an Alpha who exuded as much authority as her father. At least, not until she had come to Phoenix Academy and met Zeke.Thinking about him brought the tightness to her chest again."Derek Lawrence, future Beta of the Blood Moon pack.""Myles Jeffries. Future Gamma of the Blood Moon pack."Her father didn't give a shit what pack they

“Which house is it?”Ava responded automatically. Only as she got out of the car did she realise she should have taken her father to the dorms instead. What if Zeke brought his father and mate there? And worse, her father would know straight away that she had been spending a lot of time in Zeke’s bedroom. But it was too late now. Besides, it didn’t matter anymore. Zeke had a mate.The pain made her stop and double over. It felt worse than what she had felt in the forest, a lot worse. “Ava!” Alpha Roland said. “Is it a panic attack? What’s happening?”The panic in her father’s voice made her pull herself together and straighten her body. There was no explanation that she could give him that would make sense. The best thing to do was to get through the weekend and then leave with him.Because she couldn’t count on Zeke now. “I’m fine. Let’s go in.”Zeke’s house was impressive, as were all the Alpha houses. Her house at home could fit in it a couple of times.“I always forget how fuck

Human blood still scented the air hours after the fight. It was everywhere. On the narrow path up the mountain. On the cold, unyielding side of the mountain. Over the trees, bushes and dead leaves on the ground. Silver bullet casings and broken silver weapons were scattered on the forest floor. Sharp lengths of twine were tied between tree trunks like traps, and blood dripped from them. There was something else on it besides that metallic scent, something spicy and woodsy, and very faint.Putting her nose closer to the twine, she started to inhale. A second later, strong arms circled her chest and wrenched her away.“Don’t touch that. Wolfsbane,” Zeke said.Of course. She had never been around it, but she was sure the other wolves in the pack were taught how to detect it from the moment they shifted. It was deadly to wolves, poisoning their systems as quickly as silver. A chill rushed down her spine at how close she’d come to making a rookie mistake.Stepping out of Zeke’s arms, she l
Ava Chapter 220
‘Let’s at least find out what happened to the Moonvalley Alpha first,’ Zeke mindlinked Ava. ‘There are too many humans here.’Ava’s apprehension was obvious through their bond, but so were her rage and fear. Tension coiled up in his stomach. Whenever he got like this, he always pulled the silver chains out for Derek and Myles to restrain him. But now, they were freely running near humans. Even if it was a small town, people would notice if half of them got wiped out by raging beasts.‘I’ve only been this far from our territory once, and Dad didn’t even let me get out of the car. I don’t even know where this diner is, so we need to speak to Nate.’It was clear from her tone that she didn’t like that, but some of the tension uncoiled because she wasn’t about to burrow through innocent people in town without a plan.The sun was setting when they stopped near the forest’s edge. Zeke followed Ava to a small wooden cabin, where she shifted without much regard to the humans he sensed close to
Ava Chapter 219
The Silver Daggers. A bunch of fucking neanderthals who’d dwindled their numbers even 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 options. 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 glared at her brothers after she pulled a T-shirt over her head. The boys had accepted shorts and were already eating the bowls of a 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 sp
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 h
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
