Ava Chapter 46
Zeke got out of the car and looked at the Vampire Prince’s residence. This place always made his skin crawl. The building was just like any other, but there was always this aura of death around it because of its undead residents. And though they had electricity like every other dormitory, they never had their lights on when the sun set. They preferred the darkness, even though they all had charmed rings.He could sense that almost all of Gideon’s nest and a few of their human donors were home. The scent of fresh blood was strong in the air, almost like the Prince had told them all to feed and be at their strongest. Maybe Gideon was expecting trouble. “Should we have called the rest of the pack?” Derek asked as he looked at the building, too,There were many wolves from their pack on campus, all of whom were commanded to be available to him whenever he needed them. Tensions were so high, and he knew his father was waiting for any excuse to start a war with the Vampire King after the c

Ava took a quick shower in the ensuite. Her bruises and cuts from training had already healed. She forgot to ask Jared about his cream the other night, but surely the effects should have started to fade by now?She had no time to worry about it as she went to her wardrobe. The only clothes Claire hadn’t ruined were already in the wash and not suitable for a party. Jared knew her situation. Had he not thought of this? She felt a little bit ungrateful for thinking he was selfish; he probably had a lot on his mind, too. She was about to pull her old sweats and T-shirt from the bottom of the laundry basket when she remembered the shopping bags she had found with her suitcase on her first night. She pulled them from the bottom of her wardrobe and emptied the contents on her bed.Her eyes widened. Jared had bought her clothes, and not the off-the-rack ones she was used to. The labels made her eyes bulge out, and just thinking of how much he had spent made her eyes water. He was insane! W

The rage in him was indescribable.He felt his own anger mix with Shadow’s as he barreled into Claire and clamped his jaws down on her hind leg just as she launched herself at Ava. Claire’s father was a Beta, and Claire had taken after him, so she was almost as big as an alpha. She whimpered and tried to snap at him, but he caught her in the middle and tossed her the way she had done to Ava.Blood lust took over him when he saw the blood trickling down her fur. She had almost killed Ava. Blood for blood. He didn’t give a shit when she whimpered and tried to roll onto her stomach. Her submission meant nothing to him and Shadow. They were ready to finish Claire on the spot when several enemy wolves surrounded him. His rage increased, and he knew the bloodbath wouldn’t end with just Claire.He released the wolf’s throat and snarled in warning at Jared’s pack and friends. They were no match for him, and they knew it. The stench of their fear was heavy in the air as they took several steps

The bed felt so comfortable that Ava snuggled in further when she slowly started to wake. She couldn’t remember the last time she slept so well. It felt like she’d been hit with a dose of magic to get rid of all her tiredness and worry. She wriggled a little more under the covers. And then froze.She opened her eyes, which widened when she saw the unfamiliar room in the early morning light. And that meant the warm, hard wall that was currently spooning her was indeed another person.Her heart pounded out of her chest as she shot out of the bed and turned around, and then horror filled her when she realised she was standing in front of Ezekiel with no top on. She covered her bra quickly.Why was she in his bed?Ezekiel was leaning on his elbow as if he had been watching her sleep. As if he had let her wriggle against him on purpose. With his hair tousled and his shirtless chest exposed, he took her breath away. If there was ever a person blessed by the Goddess it was this man. Every i

Ava didn’t wait to finish her breakfast. She asked Emily if they could go straight away, and before she knew it, they had visited Mrs Benton’s office in the main building and acquired two passes. The Welfare Coordinator didn’t even bat an eyelid or look away from her screen when she made the passes appear on her desk and even when she stamped them.“Don’t you need anything from your room first?” Emily asked as they walked down to a side of the campus she had never been to. “I already have my purse.”It seemed darker here, somehow, even though the buildings looked the same as the others. The air felt different, almost as if it was colder, making a shiver go down her spine.“No, I just want to walk around a bit,” she answered.Besides, she didn’t want to see Jared or Ezekiel. She’d had her breakfast earlier than usual, so hopefully, Ezekiel hadn’t come to pick her up yet like he had threatened to do.“How do you know Claire is gone?” she asked as they approached a gate smaller and less

It was the wrong time to have a panic attack, but Ava couldn’t stop it.As Claire advanced, the pressure built in her head. She’d thought she could escape somehow if she came out of the academy gates to find a way out of town; she could have been on her way home before the end of the day. But here she was, about to face death for the second time in a few hours.“Alpha Ezekiel is too good for a human like you,” Claire continued. “He will be Alpha of the biggest pack in the world in a few short months, and I will be his Luna. I don’t know why you thought you could compete with me. I mean, look at you.”Ava began to tremble as she stepped back.“You’re pathetic and can’t fight your own battles. You’re the last thing that Zeke needs right now.”“I’m not trying to compete or be a Luna. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”“Zeke’s late-night visits to your room? Stalking you? Reeking of your scent every time? He doesn’t take his eyes off you, but you think I’ll believe you don’t kn

Zeke’s father called just as he prepared to pick up Ava. Zeke normally called him when he was ready for the weekly check-in calls, usually after lunch, but his father had called an emergency conference meeting because the rogue attacks had increased in the past couple of weeks.It pissed Shadow off. He had marked the whole territory because he considered it his. No one in the pack dared to dispute that, even though the current Alpha was alive and well. The rogues didn’t dare attack when he was home; it only happened when he was too far away.That was one of the reasons he was anxious to graduate and take over from his father. Nobody feared Ezra Michelson anymore, but they were fucking terrified of Shadow. He paced the room while his father and his Beta and Gamma, Derek’s and Myle’s fathers, filled them in. They had been lucky that no one had been injured, and the warriors had quickly taken care of the rogues. But they had come too far into the territory and too close to the pack resi

Ava was sure her head would fall off when Ezekiel set her down. It was cleaving into itself and jumbling all her thoughts. Her energy seemed to have been sucked from her body; she couldn’t understand why she felt so sluggish. It took her a moment to realise she was alone. Ezekiel left her. Again.What was wrong with that guy?With a tired sigh, she limped to the bathroom. There was a basket of toiletries on the counter that hadn’t been there that morning, as if Ezekiel had spent his time preparing for her to move in with him, but she only glossed over it as she went straight to the shower. She would have loved to soak in the giant tub in this room, but she didn’t know if she could stay awake long enough to enjoy it. It took a while to remove her ruined clothes, and then she finally stood under the cooling spray. She was sure she was sunburnt on top of everything else. She loved being outdoors, but her skin was not made for that.She felt only marginally better when she finally stepped

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

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
