Ava Chapter 122
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

Zeke stood in the doorway long after Ava and her dad had driven off.He’d been in hell the past few nights, but when he had seen her again... When that smile appeared on her lips, the pain ravaging his body and mind stopped instantly. Something deep inside him clicked into place.She was his. She’d accepted that. Then his father opened his mouth and ruined everything. No, he couldn’t even blame his father for this. This was on him. He had taken too long to tell her the truth because he’d known this would be her reaction. He tried to keep his mind from going back to the dark place he’d lived in for the past few days. Though it had hurt to watch her walk away, he knew that if he could just get her to talk to him, she would believe him. She was his mate. But even if she didn’t, if it took her some time to understand, she would have no choice when he got her out of this place, when it would be just the two of them against the world. He heard cars driving up the driveway and stiffened.

Ava didn’t even know what the program for the day was beyond what Derek and Myles had told her. She couldn’t even remember when she had last looked at her tablet and had no idea where her school bag was. As she walked up the path leading to her block, she saw Emily standing with a man and woman who looked like her parents. Her shoulders were tense as she listened to whatever they were telling her. Once the Omega lifted her head to look at her, the fear and panic were instant, and she lowered her gaze immediately. It was her that Emily was scared of this time, not Zeke. She could feel it. “I think we need to go somewhere we can talk privately,” her father said.She hadn’t realised she had stopped to look at the wolf who would always rub her the wrong way. Her father was looking at her, too.She avoided Alpha Roland’s gaze as she walked into the First-Year building and straight for the notice board. Her father hadn’t stopped looking at her since they had left the house, but she could

Ava could only guess how Mr Patrick and her dad would prepare her for this meeting with the Head of the Council, which was never going to happen.They were crazy. As if she was going to stick around for that death sentence. Her father had dropped her off at the Administration block so he could drop his stuff off and see where he was staying for the next few days. People were still arriving for the weekend, so the whispers and looks from guardians and students were constant. She ignored them all as she crossed over to the fountain. She and her dad were going to eat while he extracted the whole story from her. She’d only told him and Mr Patrick the highly edited version. There was no point getting him too upset.Especially since a lot of it involved Zeke. Zeke, who’d had a mate waiting for him this whole time. Her fists clenched, but she took a deep breath and calmed herself. All of this would be over soon. There was no point in getting angry. She would never have been with Zeke, anyw

Zeke was still trying to figure out how his father would retaliate when he located Ava just in time to hear her conversation with that Alpha. He’d been relying on Shadow’s senses to track her down, so he hadn’t made it to the Administration block until the Alpha was lying in a rapidly forming pool of his blood at Ava’s feet. The sight slightly satisfied his blood lust, but the piece of shit still had a heartbeat. Shadow wanted to rip him apart for stepping up to his mate like that. He should have listened to his son’s warning, but that boy had got things completely wrong. Ava wasn’t under the Blood Moon Pack protection; she was under his. There is a very big difference. A deadly difference.When Ava started running, he followed, knocking her pursuers out of the way. He didn’t stop when they screamed and didn’t care if they got hurt as he kept his sights on Ava ahead of the crowd. He could see how fast she was going, which was much faster than any human he had ever seen. Either the co

She couldn’t think.His lips... His hands... Everything about him was turning her inside out. He kept kissing and sucking on that spot on her neck that seemed connected to more intimate parts of her body, and she just couldn’t...She couldn’t think.But she was angry with him and needed to say her piece. Did he say he wanted to mark her?Her eyes widened, and she pulled herself out of his arms and rushed over the ridge in the clearing. She didn’t look at the lake as she walked down to the grassy bank where they had their picnic. Her heart slammed against her chest as she processed his words.“What do you mean? You can’t mark me! You’re an Alpha!”But even knowing that, she couldn’t put out the fire he had lit in her body. It was all around her, pulling her towards him even when she needed an explanation. Zeke followed her, his eyes burning for her and his breathing uneven. His intentions were obvious. One more touch, and she wouldn’t be able to think anymore. “Stop!” she ordered.He

Ava Chapter 210
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
Ava Chapter 209
“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
