Ava Chapter 131
The drive to the Administration block was the most awkward thing Ava had ever lived through. And that included that one time in high school when a bunch of wolves had taken her clothes and all the towels in the locker room while she had been showering after gym class. Not a single person had come to her aid when she’d shouted for what felt like hours, including the teachers with their super-sensitive hearing. She’d had to wait until after lessons, when she had assumed the students had gone home, to try to find something to wear in one of the classrooms. Only the school hadn’t been quite as empty as she’d thought. She’d barely snuck out of the locker room when the students had filed out of the classrooms. Dozens of them laughing at her as she stood naked in the hallway. Nudity meant nothing to them, but because she always hid her body, they used that to bully her.She had all her bits hanging out and had been laughed at for weeks, but that embarrassment was nothing compared to sitting

Zeke watched Alpha Morgan walk out of the dean’s waiting area, but Ava remained standing in the spot. Her heart rate had elevated when she saw him, but it wasn’t out of fear. Her mouth had dropped open slightly, and her cheeks were getting flushed. He had expected this. Mated wolves tended to hide away from everyone while their bonds strengthened because the pull towards each other was insane. It was why they had a whole ceremony first and then arranged their lives accordingly. They didn’t do it on a whim during the academic year without the blessing of their Alpha.Still...He bit his lip to try to stop his smile as he stood and walked towards his mate. She sucked in a breath when he took her dainty little hand in his. Could she feel it as strongly as he did? That jolt of electricity down their bodies? The sparks when they made contact?What would have made this even better would have been the mind link. There was nothing more intimate than being able to share even your thoughts wit

“Yes, Mr Michelson. So please sit down, and let’s talk about Ava.”Ava stopped inspecting Zeke’s throat to look at Mr Patrick. Why did he make that sound so ominous, as if he thought something was wrong with her?“The day is almost over. We need to talk about the Head of Council and what he wants,” Ava insisted as she went to take the seat next to her father in front of Mr Patrick’s desk. “The longer I watch you, Ava, the more I’m convinced I know what they want,” Mr Patrick said. Zeke sat beside her, meeting her gaze curiously before they both turned to the professor.“And that is?” she asked.“The purpose of this school isn’t just to keep people in line and equip the future leaders with the skills to lead,” Mr Patrick said. “They also root out their future assets and their future threats.”“And what does any of that have to do with me?” she asked in exasperation.“Shall I make a list?” Mr Patrick said. “You’ve made several trips to the infirmary where they never found any injuries

Their voices were distorted and echoed like they were in a tunnel. They all sounded far away. Ava’s thoughts whirled in her head, making no sense. Her heart pounded against her chest so loud it was all she could hear. She turned away from them to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. She was trapped. And they were still speaking to her, surrounding her, their concern heavy in the air. How could she feel that?"Let me out!"She couldn't tell whether she screamed it or said it. The three men in front of her stepped back and looked at her as if she had grown three heads. What her dad had said was impossible. That nightmare started after she had been nosy and read the newspaper articles about the time her birth father was murdered and those dismembered bodies were found in the forest. It had nothing to do with her. Impossible. She had been six when the police found her. Six! Alpha Roland might have believed that her wolf had forced a shift and saved her, but even he'd never heard o

Zeke watched his mate sleep, but she was still troubled. He couldn't just see it on her face; he could feel it. Had she really thought he had hurt Claire that day? From his conversation with the Omega after he'd cornered her in training, he had known Ava had been involved somehow. He just hadn't expected this. His mate wasn't a human. Yet she still smelled human even now, despite her stronger scent and his scent on her. A repressed wolf? Had trauma caused that?Shadow had emerged early, too. He'd been in danger, and the shift had shocked everyone. But Shadow hadn't retreated after what he had done. He'd revelled in the destruction and had wanted to do it again and again. It was why he'd had to put the mental wall between them—the reason he'd learned how to control and hide his true nature. He would teach Ava to do the same if she had to, even though Shadow growled his objection. He could understand where his beast was coming from. It had been more challenging to function when th

Zeke sensed his father and a few surprising allies approaching the house. And if he wasn’t mistaken, others were also coming from the woods.His father knew Shadow could rip them all apart if he wanted to. So what had given him the balls to come after him now?“Who was he talking to about Ava?” he asked Myles.“He went over to the witch residences,” Myles said. So maybe Alpha Ezra had something he could use against him. He turned to Alpha Morgan, who didn’t look the least bit panicked that his child was going to be put in the middle of all of this bullshit. Alpha Ezra knew he was weaker than Shadow, but he was still an Alpha and had an ego the size of the continent. Things could get ugly.It would ruin his escape plan. He was going to use the rogue problem at home as a reason to be allowed access through the forest, but if his father took a stand against him now and things went sideways, then that excuse would be worthless. The academy would know if he was no longer part of the pack.

Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds. Blood. Screams. Crunching sounds. Claws. Claire. Her friends. So much blood. Ava woke up with a jolt and immediately felt her stomach churning. With her heart still pounding, she pushed the bedding off her body and rushed to the adjoining bathroom. The moment her stomach was empty, the overwhelming guilt took her over again. She had to make amends. Those poor families were grieving because of her. If it was true that she had a wolf, what sort of wolf did that? What kind of monster would cause that horror she saw every night in her nightmares?It was the sort of wolf that the Council put down. She'd heard the stories. Wolves that were uncontrollable just disappeared. It was for the best for the people around them. And now she was one of those uncontrollable wolves. From wolfless to a monster in one afternoon. The Council could have her. It was probably why they wanted her in the first place. They had seen it somehow. They had seen all that darkne

Zeke watched Mr Patrick with narrowed eyes. The professor looked at Ava like she was some sort of science experiment while she sat cross-legged on the rug with her eyes closed. He didn't like it.He'd always assumed Mr Patrick was a witch, but after that little stunt, he knew that was not true. There was magic around him, but it definitely wasn't witchy. What the fuck was he?And why was he so openly fascinated with his mate?Honestly, he looked like he was even salivating. "It's not working," Ava sighed, opening her eyes again. "We've been at this for hours already today. It didn't work last night, and it won't work now. Let's just try something else.""It won't work if you don't take this seriously," Mr Patrick said. "Empty your mind, Ava.""I'm trying.""Then stop thinking about why you don't want this to work and feel your wolf, Ava," Mr. Patrick said firmly. "There is no other plan that will work, and even if there was, you need your wolf. It's a part of you that you have to a

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
