Ava Chapter 97
The infirmary. Ava had missed it. As she slowly blinked the sleep out of her eyes, she heard the beeping of the machines and realised she was hooked up to some IVs. The curtains were drawn around her bed, so she knew she wasn’t in a private room this time. She could hear faint moaning from one side of her. It made her wonder what had happened to that poor student for them to be in that much pain because all the students healed quickly, and the Infirmary had their fancy potions to help them.She gingerly lifted herself onto her elbows and looked around, trying to judge the time. The dim lights were on, so it was nighttime, but whether it was still the same day was up for debate. She hoped so. This would be a brilliant time to be unconscious for days so she wouldn’t have to participate in the rest of the evaluation.There was a slight commotion somewhere in the ward, and a female voice saying, “We told you to come back during visiting hours. There are too many patients tonight; you can

Ava slept in her own room and silently made her way downstairs before Zeke woke up. The Omegas were the only ones awake when she went into the kitchen to grab a piece of fruit. She would have breakfast in the dining hall before going to the arena for the second day.The Omegas were just standing around, and the moment she walked in, they tensed and looked down.“What are you doing?” she asked with a frown, keeping her voice to a whisper so she wouldn’t wake anyone up. And why were they lowering their eyes?“Alpha Ezekiel keeps ordering us not to cook, but we have to. We don’t know what we should do,” one of the Omegas said. Samantha, if she remembered correctly. This Omega was usually the one bold enough to answer Ezekiel.“I would do what he says. Prepare your own food and then go to train and get ready for today, or whatever. I won’t say anything,” she said, reaching for a banana. She ate it quickly before grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and putting it in her bag. The p

Zeke stood near the bleachers in his section, his eyes trained on Ava. She looked fearsome with that deadly weapon in her hand and her face devoid of emotion as she waited to cut her opponent down.He would have been very impressed if he hadn’t been so angry with her. Ava looked very confident with weapons in her hands. But as it stood, he wanted to fucking throttle her.Gideon told him that the vampire yielding had not been his doing. The prince claimed to have been just as surprised as everyone else. And, of course, he couldn’t rip that vampire apart because he had taken himself straight to Isolation the moment he had yielded. He would not be able to interrogate him until the end of the day.He still had the vial of Gideon’s blood in his bag, so Ava had not taken that before her last match; she’d had something else. She could have died last night! Who had given it to her? Who did he need to rip apart with his bare hands? She was keeping too many secrets; he and Shadow didn’t like it

Ava stayed in the bleachers for all the matches for the beginners to complete. She was just being a coward. Between his matches, Zeke had paced up and down the whole arena, and every time he stopped at the beginners’ section, his eyes burned through her. She’d kept her eyes down even though she was obviously frustrating him. If other people hadn’t heard the rumours about them by now, she was sure his behaviour had made them aware. He was scaring the shit out of everyone. But it was okay. She wasn’t going to be at the arena much longer. She’d won some matches already but would tap out on the next one to avoid winning a spot in the top ten. This day wouldn’t end like the last one.Predictably, the coach called her name first. She ignored Zeke as she went to pick a weapon and chose a very small chain. It could still be deadly in the right hands, but she didn’t want anything that would intimidate her opponent. They’d all been wary of her already during the earlier matches. She hoped t

Zeke stood near the bleachers, unable to process what he was seeing. Ava’s emotions had morphed into something completely different the moment she had seen the Omega. He felt all her anger and disappointment as if those feelings were his own. And he felt her deadly intent.The moment she shouted at the wolf to fight her, even Shadow paid more attention to that tone. Something had washed through his body as they watched Ava expertly pummel the Omega like she was some sort of demon. She looked so incredibly sexy as she committed acts of violence not normally seen in humans. Was it wrong to feel this fire spread through his body at the sight? It felt like his body was no longer his own as he walked to stand outside her ring.Every move she made wasn’t wasted, and it looked so effortless. Ava maintained control so easily that she would put most of the people at the Academy to shame. Her focus was entirely on the Omega. She fought as if she was made for it, as if she was some sort of warri

“That was a very immature thing to do. You’re not children! I will not tolerate such undignified behaviour in my academy.”Zeke only half-listened to what the dean was saying. All he could smell was Ava; all he could feel was Ava. He needed to go for a run to clear his mind before he ruined everything. Ava wasn’t ready for this. She would run a mile from him if he told her, and her running from him when they were in danger was the last thing he needed.Last night, she’d almost died from whatever foolish thing she did, but his anger evaporated during her match as if it hadn’t existed. How could he have forgotten that there was someone among them who wanted her dead? How could he have easily forgotten about Claire and the Council? It was like he’d been mindless, stripped down to his primal nature to focus on one thing only.‘...two days in Isolation, and believe me, I will find out who did it...’The Fourth-Year fire assembly point was quite a distance from the First-Year one, but he co

He was coming for her. He would finish what he started. Ava didn’t know how she knew this, but it was like her whole body was waiting for Zeke, and that terrified her. She had no idea what had just happened in the arena. The moment she saw Emily walking to the ring, she felt like a different person. She felt so strong as she finally did what she had wanted to do since her former friend turned on her. And then she turned around and saw Zeke’s glowing eyes. She was instantly lost.Her first instinct had been to run, and just like that, the hunter had become the hunted. But she’d only exited the arena when she realised it was pointless. Then everything became a blur after that. She had been so crippled with need that she would have let him do anything. She would have so readily become his plaything.He was an Alpha, for goddess’ sake! The future Alpha of the largest pack in the country. Claire had been right about one thing—he couldn’t be with her. If life with her pack had taught her

There was a dead silence the moment Ava walked into the Arena. She couldn’t stop her cheeks from heating up as she kept her head down and walked quickly towards her section. It didn’t help matters that Zeke was right behind her with his Alpha and Beta. They had separated at the door the other times, but now they seemed to follow her to the bleachers.Were they making a statement of sorts? Did it not worry them that they looked like they were breaking the rules by giving an Omega preferential treatment? That their Alpha looked like he was cavorting with a human? She would get so much hate from the other Omegas for this.And, most importantly, someone would tell the Council about this. If they had their spies here, as Mr Patrick said, then she had failed miserably to stay off their radar. What exactly were they looking for? Evidence that they had killed Claire and her friends? Was the end game to take their lives like they had taken the other wolves’ lives? Mr Patrick had been too crypt

Ava Chapter 120
Ava stepped back.She had known from the first day that she would die in this place, but hearing Mr Patrick say it hammered it in. “Who wants to kill me?” she asked weakly. But she already knew. What she didn’t know was why. Did they know what she had done?“They know everything, Ava. I told you not to go into the forest. Everything in there belongs to them. Do you understand? They know.”The sudden burst of energy that she’d had was depleted. She dragged her feet to the first bench and gently lowered her body. She felt no pain but still felt as if her body had broken into pieces. If they knew, why was she still here? That was the number one rule of the academy. Never step foot into the forest.“And that’s what’s been keeping me up at night,” Mr Patrick said.“Stop that.”She felt too drained to concentrate on shielding her thoughts. “You’ve brought attention to yourself, Ava. I gave you that potion so you could spend the rest of the evaluations in the infirmary, but you still cam
Ava Chapter 119
Ava ran back into the woods without thinking. She had been raised in a forest, so she knew she would find her way out eventually, and there wasn’t much of a chance of getting lost when the only direction she could head in was away from the magic prickling her skin from the dark forest. Zeke was insane. Did he really think she would be that easy?Sure, she behaved like a whore every time he touched her, and the incident earlier hadn’t helped anything. She was pretty sure her body was still reacting to him, even after the nap before the picnic. But to say she was his?Wolves who mated spoke like that about each other! How could Zeke speak like that? In his case, she would not be his mate. How could she be? She was human, and he was an Alpha. She would be his toy until he found a wolf who could help him lead his pack. His future Luna.So, the two of them together would never happen. She would take endless cold showers to stop this madness if she had to. But still, she’d run away from
Ava Chapter 118
“Where exactly are we going?”Zeke looked back at Ava and squeezed her hand in reassurance. He’d still sensed her fear when she woke up, which increased when she realised they were heading into the woods. “You’ll see.”It would have been quicker if he’d shifted and carried her there or even run with her on his back, but she didn’t seem to want any contact with him at all. Understandable. It had been torture having her rub her body all over him earlier when he could sense how hot for him she’d been. And now she’d only allowed him to hold her hand once they had come deeper into the woods. It was a lot darker under the canopy of the trees, but he knew it wasn’t the darkness that was making her so scared. The woods blended into the cursed forest surrounding the academy, so few people ventured this far. There wasn’t even a path for them to follow, so Ava was relying on his sight to lead the way.“I think we can talk here. We’re far enough away from anybody else.”“Just be patient a little
Ava Chapter 117
Ava stopped struggling when she realised it was useless. And she also realised that no matter how scared or angry she was with him, her body still reacted to the contact as if he was her source of life. She craved him with every fibre of her being.It was terrifying. It was exhilarating.As Zeke marched up the stairs in his house, she saw Derek and Myles come out of the living room to watch. She could almost tell what they were thinking when they looked at each other and then back at the door Zeke had left open when he had walked in. They hadn’t even realised she had gone. She hid her face behind her curtain of hair that was dangling down, and of course, it was then Zeke’s very muscular butt she was directly looking at. Probably the most perfect glutes on the face of the earth.She bit her lip, but she didn’t close her eyes.Maybe there was something wrong with her. Perhaps something inside her was broken—damaged beyond repair—to make her want Zeke so much when she knew what he was.
Ava Chapter 116
Zeke crashed through the front door and looked around. All the curtains were drawn, so it was dark inside. There were only two people in this house, all alone like a couple of lovers.He growled as he followed Ava’s scent up the stairs. She was supposed to be in his bed sleeping, not hanging out with his enemy. “Ava!”His voice was low, on the verge of shifting. It didn’t matter now what he did to Jared. Once he and Ava left the academy, he would likely never be allowed to return. He would never graduate to be officially recognised as the Alpha.But he would be Alpha anyway. He and Shadow agreed on that. When he reached the top of the stairs, his steps faltered when he saw his mate coming out of the master bedroom. And she was terrified. Her heart was beating so fast and so loud that he had to tune it out to concentrate. It felt like he had been transported back to when Ava had hidden in her room in fear. Why would she be scared now? Just a couple of hours ago, she’d kissed him pu
Ava Chapter 115
Ava slowly walked back up the front steps and stopped at the open door. She tried to hide her horror but didn’t think she succeeded.Jared was wearing only a pair of shorts, and his whole body looked like a giant bruise. He also had huge open wounds on his stomach shaped like teeth. Huge teeth that could only belong to one person. What the hell? Had Zeke come after him again while she had been in Isolation?She met his gaze and saw the dejection in his eyes. The complete helplessness.“I don’t think you should be here,” Jared said.She ignored his statement to look at his wounds again. Why wasn’t he in the Infirmary? Why was his pack letting him walk around like this?“What happened? Did Zeke come again?”She didn’t know why she was surprised. She had witnessed Zeke go after the wolves watching her in his backyard, and he’d come back bloody. Zeke was very much capable of this. His wolf was capable of this. She didn’t know why she always pushed such important facts to the back of her
Ava Chapter 114
Zeke leaned against the wall near the door, watching the vampire chained to the wall opposite him. The silver sizzled against his skin, but the vampire was barely conscious. The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, the rays touching every inch of the room except where the vampire was chained. He hadn’t had his charmed ring on since he came out of isolation, and Prince Gideon got his hands on him. If he moved even an inch, the sun would fry him, but as was his nature, he would also feel the sun's pull without the ring. Keeping him awake during the day was torture beyond anything else they could do to him.But the vampire had remained silent. Kept his mouth shut in the face of his prince’s anger, and Gideon’s royal blood made him the strongest vampire at the academy. This told him one thing: he feared whoever told him to yield much more than his prince.Or it could be that Isolation had fucked his head up.“Who told you to do it, Nathan?” the vampire prince hissed again, yan
Ava Chapter 113
Ava had opted for a quick shower instead of the inviting bath the Omegas had run for her because she was starving but felt too filthy to eat. Once she rested, she hoped she would finally get a chance to soak and relax. She had longed for a chance to do that since the first day she had been in Zeke’s room. She walked into the dining room in record time and sat at the table, her mouth watering at the spread in front of her. Was this all for her?Samantha and Julie stood at the side of their room with their eyes lowered, even though no one else was there. Zeke seemed to have disappeared, instantly deflating her mood and reminding her of reality. Her imaginary Zeke and the real one were not the same person, but seeing him as she came out of Isolation had felt like a natural continuation of her time at the imaginary beach. “This looks very delicious,” she said to the Omegas.“Thank you,” Samantha said.“You’ve made enough to feed an army. Why don’t you sit down and eat, too,” Ava suggeste
Ava Chapter 112
Zeke put Ava down and took her hand to lead her out of the building. The other students gave them way, but he could sense that what they had just witnessed was something they did not welcome.But he didn’t give a shit. He was done hiding.He’d been sure Isolation would break Ava and he wouldn’t get a chance to tell her how he felt. He’d been sure her end would be the end of him. Of everyone at the academy.But there she was, exceeding his expectations again. She had saved herself from the Council’s invasive magic, which was the only reason he’d regained his sanity and not killed everyone. So maybe she had been able to keep them out of her head after all when they had questioned her.Was that the reason they were coming back? Was it Ava they wanted? They had been curious about him, but was it the human that had captured their attention more? Did they know she was the one who’d had Claire’s blood all over her?He looked back at her as they walked down the steps. She looked pale and tir
