Ava Chapter 63
Ava’s attention was pulled to the administration building the moment Derek stopped the car. Students walked around or stood in groups as they waited for their lessons to start, and nothing seemed amiss. Did she have an appointment with the Dean? No. He had refused to see her again and cancelled all her appointments.“What is it?” Derek asked.She shook her head as she undid her seatbelt.“It’s nothing. I just feel like I forgot something important,” she answered.“What else do you feel?”The blond one asked this. She frowned. Was he asking how she was feeling healthwise? Or mentally? Because mentally, she was spiralling, and she couldn’t anchor herself.“Nothing,” she shrugged.“No pain?”“A little pain. Which is weird because I normally wake up fine.”She hadn’t thought of that. Jared’s stuff must have worn off now, which meant she had to be extra careful in training.Derek looked away, his eyes glinting as if she had just told him some bad news.“How is this even possible? It will

Ava sat by herself while she waited for the coach to arrive. She ignored the others, even Emily, as she stared blankly ahead of her. There was an ache... a hole in her chest. Like something had been taken from her in that forest that she would never recover again.She should have listened to Mr Patrick, but she had been desperate—and she was still desperate. She could feel death looming over her. It would only be a matter of time before Claire succeeded. “Ava Morgan!”She was startled when she heard her name and looked around to find the coach had already come in, and the others had already started the warm-up.“If you are still sick, you shouldn’t have come back. I will not tolerate your laziness. Everyone participates in my class!” the coach snapped.She didn’t look him in the eye today. It wasn’t worth it. She could only get her head around one fight at a time, and the fact that the coach hated her wasn’t at the top of her list. She slowly got off the bench and started slowly jogg

Before Derek even parked the car, Ava had sunk into this depression that she couldn’t understand. She felt like the further they had driven away from the main buildings, the bigger the gaping hole in her heart became.The tears were back on her face as she walked into the house.“Are you in pain?” Derek asked quietly.She shook her head. Her body still hurt, but her mind was stuck in this terrible place; she couldn’t register the pain unless she paid attention to it. She forgot about the conversation she intended to have with the wolves as she forced her stiff body to move up the stairs.“This is your room.”She looked back at the Beta, who appeared to have followed her up at her pace. She had been heading straight for Ezekiel’s room without thinking, but of course, that wasn’t allowed here. With a nod, she walked back towards him and through the door he held open. The room was much bigger than she had expected, but it was nothing like Ezekiel’s and probably the other wolves. A doub

Zeke looked down at the beautiful, fragile face of the girl asleep on his chest. She hadn’t let go of him all night, but that was okay because he hadn’t let go of her either.He didn’t know how she had done it or if she had done it at all. He and Shadow had been so close to breaking. The darkness had started to invade, even with Shadow’s stubbornness. Several times, he had been pulled into his nightmares, watching all his sins play out in front of him like a horror movie. He had felt the pain in his head, all over his body, a pain he couldn’t even describe.And then Ava appeared.The darkness had disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he found himself on the cliffs with his little human mate.Maybe it was Shadow’s longing for her that had conjured her. Perhaps it was his longing.Or maybe it was the little human’s.He pushed her hair out of her face and watched her, memorising everything. Did she even know she had been calling him? Pulling him to her so strongly that she chased all h

The shared bathroom was nothing like Ezekiel’s. It was still spacious and decorated well, but it didn’t have the large clawfoot bathtub that Ezekiel had in his. Her face started burning again at the thought of the Alpha. Last night was a blur, but she remembered throwing herself at him. She remembered the way he had kissed her, the way she had ground herself on his hard body. And then to wake up with her limbs tangled in his...She didn’t know what had come over her. Ezekiel was a wolf, the most dangerous one she had ever met. The aura around him was always dark. He always looked at her with such heat in his eyes that she knew his threat that he would have her in his bed if she didn’t leave was accurate.It could have happened last night.She pushed that thought aside and chided herself for being so foolish. Ezekiel had done nothing to deserve her body.Nothing except save her a few hundred times.She pushed that away again, afraid that if she thought about it, the images in her head

Zeke waited for the phone to ring, but his attention was on the human pacing her room upstairs.‘You almost marked her.’He looked at Derek sitting as far away from him as possible in the lounge. Understandable. This was the second time he’d almost snapped his Beta’s neck.It was true. He had been ready to mark her. Sink his teeth into her and then drop her towel and sink into her. It was taking all his willpower to stop himself from doing that right now. ‘Sorry. Shadow is territorial.’That had been more than territorial. And it was a lie; he couldn’t put this on Shadow. He had been the one who’d lost his temper because of Derek’s timing. He’d been the one who wanted to see his mark on Ava’s smooth skin. He’d been the one who’d wanted to pin her down underneath him. And Ava had been willing.So willing.He looked up again to concentrate on her movements. He could sense what she was feeling a lot more than before, and she was kicking herself for what happened. His little human still

Ava took a deep breath to calm herself. She had chosen to sit with her feet in the pool while she thought of what to tell her family. She didn’t want to lie to them, but she also didn’t want them to know the full horrors of what she had gone through. She had tried to go home to them and failed.And in the process, something had changed. She could feel it. She would never be the same again.Trying to escape had been selfish, and yet she knew she would try again somehow. But she didn’t want her family to come and get her; she wanted all the blame to go on her. Maybe then she could plead for the Council to leave them alone, and she could suffer the consequences by herself.With another breath, she dialled the number. Like the last time she had called, someone picked up straight away.“Ava?”She sucked in a breath.“Hi, Dad,” she said, but she sounded like she was going to cry. She cleared her throat.“What happened?” he asked straight away.“Nothing.”Everything.“I’ve been calling every

Zeke stood on his pool deck and cracked his neck as he sensed his woods. It didn’t matter that the boundary of his territory didn’t extend to the woods. Shadow had still marked his territory, and everyone knew this.There were six of them there—six of Jared’s pack—and they had been watching Ava. They had already started retreating, but it didn’t matter. It had been a long time since he had gone on a hunt.Shadow was already tracking them, ready to be let loose.‘Kill them,’ Shadow growled.‘Don’t be fucking ridiculous,’ he answered as he started to jog.And then he shifted. It took him only an instant when it took other wolves longer. Shadow’s huge paws thundered on the ground, and then he ran toward their chosen prey. They ignored the little animals they would have normally hunted as they tracked the wolves. If he wasn’t mistaken, that scent belonged to Jared’s Beta. He was getting fucking answers from him today. What the hell did Jared want with Ava, and had he realised the truth ab

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
