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

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 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

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 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

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 Chapter177
Ava felt the difference in the air when she stepped into the First-Year block the following day. It wasn't just the rush in her body from Mr Patrick’s magic still surging inside her or the way the students avoided her and lowered their gazes. It wasn't even because she could sense the dark void she usually felt around Claire and her friends was muted. It was because she could feel the Head of the Council as if he was right next to her. All around her. Watching her. She could feel the prickling all over her body, and unease filled her body.She kept her mind purposefully blank as she walked into her Cooking class because she knew Mr Patrick’s magic was nowhere near as strong as Mr Hansson’s. Too much was riding on her ability to shield.It wasn’t until she’d sat down in her usual spot next to the window that she realised the whole class had stopped talking, and the teacher stood with her eyes lowered at the front of the room. And then the things she was trying to forget pushed back t

“Wait. Say that again,” Ava said.He looked down at their entwined fingers and brought her hand to his lips. He should have told her before he marked her. Told her he was bonding them for life. But there had been no other choice for either of them. "You're my true mate, Ava. The perfect half of me," he said. "It's why our bond was so strong before I even marked you. I only had to catch your scent for Shadow to know you were ours.""So when you say my fate is your fate, what exactly do you mean?"This would be the most challenging part for her, as much as it hurt him to admit that. When Mr Patrick told him about True Mates, it had been easy to accept because he wouldn't want to live without her, anyway. He and Shadow agreed on that. But Ava's wolf was complicated. She and Ava were at odds, and he didn't know how that would affect their bond. "If you die, I die," he said simply. Ava gasped and pulled her hand out of his. Her shock and disappointment shot through him. It felt like sh
Ava Chapter 175
Ava felt like her stomach was eating her when she opened her eyes. Her body felt tender, but she didn’t feel any pain. She stretched and sat up in bed, not surprised that she was in Zeke’s bed again. The room was dark, and the clock beside the bed said it was barely nine o’clock, which was odd. Wolves tended to sleep and recuperate for a day or two after the first shift.But then again, her wolf was...She could still smell the blood that had covered her body despite Zeke washing it off in the lake. Quickly, she shoved the covers off and rushed to the bathroom. Food could wait. The insane Council members could wait. She stood under the shower spray before it had warmed up and started to scrub her body, but no matter how raw her skin looked, she didn’t feel clean.Would she ever?The Council had not been surprised that she had shifted into that thing, so they had already known. That was the reason they had come; she was sure of it. Mr Patrick had been right after all.Her stomach growl
Ava Chapter 174
Ava realised that Derek, Myles and Jared were backing away from her as if she was the monster, not the wolf she had protected them from. She looked back at the damage she had done. Not all of them were dead, but... With her anger gone, her mind cleared.But there were too many scents and too many emotions in the room. Too much noise. She could hear everything. People talking at once. People screaming. Leaves blowing in the wind. Cars. Heartbeats. The harsh breathing of the students who were too terrified to run from the room. The dying breaths of others. She could see the tiniest splatter of blood on the wall. She could smell that somebody had pissed themselves.Everything tumbled down on her in a confusing avalanche as she backed away from her friends. They were terrified. “It takes a special kind of person to kill the same people two times. I’m very proud of you, Ava,” Councillor Andrei said.They had done this.Her anger built up again, mixing with everything else. But she knew
