Ava Chapter 182
Ava struggled to keep her thoughts at bay.Seeing Emily’s parents like that had broken her heart, and she was expected to do the same to several other parents. If she didn’t, her father would pay the price.And she already knew she would burn the world down just to save him.She would become the Council’s bitch with a smile on her face if she had to. She was as selfish as she had accused Emily of being. A terrible person. And she was the wrong person to be a part of this revolution.“Can I help you?”Pulled out of her thoughts, Ava concentrated on what she was there to do. She walked over to the woman at the front desk and said she was there to see the dean. The head of the Council was in his office, so she had no idea where to look for him. The woman looked up from her work when she spoke and then quickly reached for the phone. There was a flash of fear in her eyes, and she knew now more than ever that she had to get used to it. It would only get worse from here.“Right away. Pleas

Ava didn’t know what to think.Her anxiety had hit the roof as she had waited for them to do whatever they had brought her there to do, but the Council members had just been drinking and talking about people and things she had no idea about.Like normal people. It was as if in this house, they weren’t the psychotic people who’d clapped when she'd stood in the puddles of blood.This was a mind game; she was sure of it. To make her drop her guard before they swooped in? Make her trust them and spill her secrets? It would never happen. She could still feel Mr Patrick’s magic protecting her from their probing, but she didn’t think they had even tried.“Hey, you haven’t touched your drink,” Andrei said, pulling himself away from Iulia. They had been disgustingly affectionate with each other the whole time.“I... I don’t really drink, and it’s still too early in the day.”Plus, she wasn’t going to put anything from them into her mouth.“There’s no one here to see you break any rules, Ava.

After dinner, Zeke found Ava sitting with her feet in the pool, looking completely lost.Her guilt had been weighing on him all day, and he knew it wasn’t just about the students she had been forced to kill. She was also thinking of the ones she had to choose as a sacrifice.He pulled the legs of his sweats up and sat next to her. She didn’t even look at him.What had they discussed at that house? He was still a little paranoid because he knew whatever the Council was trying to achieve was no good for them as mates. “Are you okay?” he asked. “Yeah,” she said.Lies, of course. He’d already seen that her training didn’t go so well. The coach had made her sit it out because everyone was too scared to spar with her. But they were out in the open, so they couldn’t discuss things like before. “I’ll train with you tomorrow. We need to focus your mind so you get familiar with your wolf.”They needed to shut themselves away in the basement and talk things through, but Ava still thought she

Ava looked into Zeke's eyes. She already knew what he wanted to say. He’d sat her on a bench and sat on the floor in front of her. His chest was still bare; he’d only hastily put his sweats back on before he’d grabbed her hand and led her to the basement. He was pissed off, and this time she was sure she was the reason. Had he wanted her to let him hurt Andrei?“I’m going to tell you something you have probably figured out yourself by now,” Zeke started. “Your wolf will never bow to anyone. Not your professors, instructors or coaches. Not the dean. Not the Council and certainly not Mr Hansson. You will never submit. Your wolf would die before she allows that to happen.”She looked away from his eyes to her hands on her bare lap.She already knew that. There had always been something in her that had refused to submit to anyone. Until Zeke came along, and she’d offered him her neck before she even realised what she was. “I will never forgive myself if my father died.” “You will neve

Ava looked down at the stripes on her brand-new blazer. An Alpha. She had Alpha stripes.Zeke came out of his dressing room, still adjusting his tie. “Looking good, Alpha,” he said with a grin. “This is so weird,” she muttered. She’d become so used to wearing her plain blazer that the added stripes made it look like a different uniform.“Get used to it,” Zeke said, dropping a kiss on her head as he pulled her into him and met her eyes in the mirror.They looked like a power couple. She had never been one of the popular kids while growing up, so being with Zeke felt a little unreal. If only their problems were about jealous girls and deciding what clothes to wear to a party instead of the Council.He was more content today, as she was. Being alone by the lake all night had done them some good, and she felt more hopeful that they could pull this off. It was probably the excess oxytocin in their bodies. She blushed as she looked away from her handsome mate and wished again that they h

The woods were scary, but she had to be brave. It was long past her bedtime, so it was dark. She had been fast asleep in the back of the car when she woke up to the loud bang. Then she saw them. The monsters.The monsters standing over her father’s body.She did what her father had taught her to do in this situation. She quietly slipped out of the car and started running.“Hey! Someone’s seen us!”It didn’t take long for the loud footsteps to follow her through the trees. The darkness and shadows cast by the full moon looked like predators ready to pounce on her, but she couldn’t close her eyes to make them go away. She had to survive. She tried to stay quiet as her dad had taught her. Step lightly. Change direction. Try not to leave too many tracks. But their long strides were fast and quickly catching up to her little ones. The forest was eerily quiet. All she could hear was her thundering heartbeat, harsh breaths, and the monsters behind her. It was like everything in the forest a

Ava tried to suppress the dread filling her as she sat in the back of the taxi, but she knew she was failing miserably. The taxi driver was some sort of supernatural, so he could probably sense everything. She knew that not because she had suddenly developed any enhanced senses overnight but because they were the only ones allowed to ferry the new students from the airport. Phoenix Academy was in some super-secret location that humans were not allowed to enter. She almost snorted at that. If that was true, they should never have insisted on her attendance. She should have been allowed to go to a regular college like any other nineteen-year-old human who’d survive the torture of high school. But no, she had to attend this place with all sorts of supernatural species who could kill her without a second thought if it wasn’t for the fact that it was forbidden.There were several branches of this academy all over the world to accommodate all of them, and she still didn’t know which one sh

Zeke Michelson buttoned up his shirt and tried to tune out Claire’s voice in the background. He didn’t give a shit about whatever she was complaining about. They had only been here a few hours, so only the Moon Goddess knew how she had found so much to complain about in the first place.He put his tie on and straightened it before he ran a hand through his still-damp hair.“Are you even listening to me, Zeke?” Claire whined.“No,” he answered as he turned to pick his blazer up. He held her gaze, daring her to complain about that. But Claire lowered her eyes and kept her mouth shut. Her blonde hair fell over her face as she sat naked on her bed. For a moment, he considered rejoining her because the woman knew how to use her body to please him. But she was already too clingy; he didn’t want to give her any more ideas.He left her room without a word, ignoring the shocked looks he got from the female residents of this dorm. But none of them would dare to report him. He was the future Al

Ava struggled to keep her thoughts at bay.Seeing Emily’s parents like that had broken her heart, and she was expected to do the same to several other parents. If she didn’t, her father would pay the price.And she already knew she would burn the world down just to save him.She would become the Council’s bitch with a smile on her face if she had to.

Ava Chapter 181
Zeke was by Ava’s side the instant the magic released him. Ava had her arm over her ribs and her teeth clenched to stop her from screaming out, but he could sense how much pain she was in. He helped her to her feet and fought to calm Shadow down when he gently held her in his arms. The contact was only mildly soothing, and Shadow still growled in his head, still close to losing control. ‘You should have ripped his head off,’ the beast said.He should have. When he had agreed to this plan, he had thought this meeting would merely be a conversation where they would finally get to know what the fuck the Council wanted. Nothing had prepared him for this. Feeling Ava in pain and not being able to do anything about it had been torture on a different level. But he knew he couldn’t beat the Head of the Council, not by himself. Not yet. He would have paid the price with his life, and Ava would have died, too. ‘I can beat him,’ Shadow snarled. ‘Stick to the plan, Shadow. You only have one
Ava Chapter 180
Ava tried not to react, but she could still feel Zeke’s rising anger. They had a job to do here, which wouldn’t be done if they both gave in to their true natures. "Don't hurt her," Zeke growled. "Then answer my question. We can’t proceed until I know what the fuck is going on.”She had not expected Mr Hansson to swear, but she could feel the frustration in his words. He really didn’t know what was going on. His forest wasn’t working as well as he said it was, and that calmed her down a little, even though the magic was restricting her breathing.And when she calmed, she felt Zeke calm, too. Whatever Mr Hansson did to her mark was not enough to break the bond. “How did someone so young tame their beast? You're in perfect control. Even now, I have your mate by the neck, but you’re not reacting,” he said, cocking his head to the side. “Do you know how long it took Diego? Decades. Decades of destruction and bloodshed.”Zeke remained silent again; this time, when the magic squeezed her
Ava Chapter 179
Ava felt the odd sensation of the magic around her as Mr Hansson talked. And behind her, she could sense the three Council members.It was like everything was heightened out here. The forest leading to the school had been her first introduction to the evil that surrounded her daily, but it felt more threatening here than around the school.Almost as if what resided here was never meant to be seen.She could sense it, whatever it was. Creatures like the ones she had seen? Or something much worse? There were so many sounds, living things prowling the forest behind her. She heard a growl in the distance, and the hair rose on the back of her neck. Goosebumps rose on her arms under her blazer. Whatever that was was not something she had seen before. She didn’t dare to look back.“Do you know why this campus is my favourite?” Mr. Hansson continued. “It’s not just because I send all the future leaders here. And it’s not just because the security is so impenetrable.”The way he said it made
Ava Chapter 178
“So, has she rejected you?”Zeke glanced sideways at the Alpha walking beside him and then back at the pavement. He felt juiced up on Mr Patrick’s magic and didn’t want to say anything wrong, but he had no idea why Alpha Diego had offered to get him for his meeting.He didn’t respond. “I mean, I was sure she was going to rip you apart,” Alpha Diego continued. “How did you manage to mate her in the first place? Was it because she hadn’t shifted yet?”His fists clenched, but again, he said nothing.“Do you think the mark will start to fade now?”Zeke started to walk a little faster even though where they were going was a lot worse than enduring this mind fuck. He knew there was no chance of the bond being broken because Ava was his true mate, but what if...“This is why I’ve never marked anyone,” Alpha Diego continued, keeping up with him easily.The councillor talked to him as if they were friends instead of a prison guard and prisoner. “Wolves like you, me and Ava were not meant to
