Ava looked away from Ian and shrugged her shoulders and said to her friends,

"I told him that I am with Luke."

Abigail shook her head. "But we all know that you don't feel anything for him. I told you to give him a chance, but with your heart, you can't make it happen, Ava. It will only hurt Luke at the end."

Ava realized that Abigail was right. She would not accept Ian, and she would not play with Luke either.

"But... I told him that I would give him a chance."

Ava's words caused Abigail and Debra to exchange glances. They sat back in their stools.

Abigail patted Ava's head and said,

"Ava, take your time. Think about what your heart wants. Go after what you want. If you want Luke, go after him. And if you want Ian—"

"No, I don't want him. I can't trust him. I believe he will hurt me like before."

Debra let out a sigh and said,

"Babe, you need to calm down first and... OH MY GOSH!"

Debra's loud voice caused Ava to turn her head to her. She noticed Debra's eyes were fixed on the jacket

    Ava was surprised to hear Stephen. She always thought that Ian was a troublemaker and he would not be a good Alpha. Because if an Alpha would waste all of his time with girls, how could he be the leader of a pack?She felt that Stephen had overconfidence in Ian. Now she had a better understanding of how powerful the Power Gang was. Because they all admire and respect one another, no one could ever break them.However, Stephen was talking about her, which Ava did not want to hear. How could he think that only Ian could protect her?What was she? A criminal who needed a protector to save her from getting punishments for her crime?She turned her attention to Debra, who was looking at Stephen intently. Ava let out a sigh when she found Stephen and Debra looking at each other.She felt that only Debra could give Stephen an answer in his face. Aside from that, she had never witnessed any other girl having the courage to do that. In fact, Nova also cried when Stephen scolded her. After all,

    There were deep rays of sunlight as the sunset, and the morning was bright and sunny.Ava's eyes were opened by a knock. She rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed.Someone was knocking on the door. She yawned and then got up to go to the door. She opened it and found her mother."Good morning, baby.""Good morning, Mom."Ava embraced her mother with a hug. Her mother gave her a warm smile and a gentle pat on the back."Are you okay, Ava?"Hearing her mother, Ava broke the hug and checked if her clothes were moved from her neck. Last night she put on a high-neck t-shirt before going to sleep."I am fine, Mom," she replied."I thought you were not okay, so I came to check.""Why?""It's because you never sleep so late."Ava frowned and turned her head to check the time on the wall clock.She was shocked to discover that it was too late for her classes. She had missed half of her classes today."Oh, shit!"She left her phone at Ronald's house during the party last night. So she could not

    "Okay, Dad. I will call my friends here and won't stay out at night. Happy?" Stephen said to his father.Harper gave him a nod with a relaxed grin. Ava remained quiet.“Bye then. I will be back in the evening.”Saying that, Stephen made his way to the door."I am coming with you," Ava spoke out.He paused and turned to her. "Sure."Angelina and Harper smiled at them. Ava said goodbye to them and followed Stephen outside."Are you going to our university?" she inquired, approaching Stephen's car, which was parked in a corner in front of other vehicles."Of course I am. Even if I weren't, I would have dropped you," he said, stroking her hair."I left my phone at Ronald's house last night."Stephen removed his hand from her head and pulled out his phone from his pocket."Let me check."He called Ronald and asked if he had Ava's phone. After speaking with him, Stephen turned to face Ava.He hung up the phone and said,"He said he got your phone. Let's go to the campus. He will give it bac

    Everyone was shocked. Abigail and Debra both had their jaws dropped in shock. Debra blinked her eyes as she could not believe Ian had come to this classroom just to sit with Ava. Not only that, he spoke so politely!Meanwhile, Ava was stunned by Ian's words and actions. She was avoiding his gaze. She clutched Debra's sleeve and mumbled,"Don't."Ian cast a glance at her hand, which was holding Debra's sleeve. He raised a brow and murmured,"I think I spoke too politely. That’s why you are not moving."Abigail cleared her throat, signaling Debra. Debra immediately got up and said,"Sure, you can sit here. I have no problem sitting next to Abi. I was sitting there a few minutes ago anyway."After that, Debra let out a small chuckle and proceeded to the bench, where she sat down with Abigail. It caused her sleeve to slip away from Ava's fingers.Ava looked at her friends, and then at others. The girls were staring at her, giving her looks.She tightened her fists and turned away from the

    Ava inhaled deeply and then turned her gaze to Ian's face."Nothing happened."Ian stared at her for a while, then nodded his head in response."Okay. I believed you."Abigail and Debra glanced at Ava as they had been listening to them from their seat.They gave Ava a confused look. Ava shook her head, indicating that she did not want him to remember anything.Ian did not try to speak with her again. He turned silent, fixing his gaze on the projector where the professor was showing something to the students.Ava's gaze moved down to the bench. She noticed Ian's hands resting on the bench. His tattooed hands were only half visible.She studied the new tattoo carefully. She was drawn to the sun and moon in the tattoo, despite the fact that she could only see half of it."Your new tattoo..."She paused when she realized she had broken the silence on her own. She bit her tongue.Ian rolled up the sleeve of his jacket and showed her the tattoo. Ava almost lowered her head to see the tattoo

    "I mean, he was drunk, so he said that out of the blue."Luke's frown eased as he said,"Oh. That's okay then."Ava nodded her head and looked away from him. She bit her bottom lip, not knowing where to start.She felt him touching her hand. Luke held her hand and asked,"Do you want to say something? I am your friend before I become your lover. You can share it with me."Ava looked at him and took a deep breath."Luke, there is something I really want to talk about.""Yeah, sure.""Luke, I can't-"Ava was interrupted by a ringtone coming near them. Ava turned around to see a boy running toward them, handing Luke a bag. The ringtone was coming from inside the bag.That was Luke's bag. He thanked the boy before pulling out his phone.Ava could see the name of the person who called. It was his father's call. Luke received the call."Hello, Dad."Ava lowered her head as she moved her feet across the floor. She could hear his father's booming voice speaking to him."Yeah, Dad. I remember

    Ava was shocked for a moment. Ian saw her surprised look. Grabbing her hand, he drew her closer to him.She tried to free her hand, but he had already put his helmet on her head."I do not have another one, so you can use mine."Ava grabbed the helmet and removed it. She handed it to him and stepped back."What are you doing? I don't want your helmet."After giving her a frown, Ian threw his helmet to the ground.Upon seeing the helmet fall to the ground behind the bike, Ava let out a gasp of surprise."What the hell!"Ian shrugged his shoulders and replied,"You didn't like it, so I threw it."Ava noticed that everyone around them was looking at them. She moved toward Ian and mumbled,"Look, Ian. I am not interested in going anywhere with you. Now give my phone back to me. Your best friend said it's with you."Ian reached into his pocket and took out her phone."This one?""Yes!"Ava tried to take it from him. But he raised his hand, making it impossible for her to grab it. She made

    "Yes, now you can't run away from me," Ian replied, winking at her.Her mouth dropped open in surprise. "Have you gone crazy? You took me outside of our city! For what? Just to get you a present?”With a look of complete innocence, he nodded his head. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was losing her mind.How could she not have realized how far they had come? How long did she ride with him on the bike? Was she so engrossed in his alluring features that she did not notice how far they had come?Ian dragged her into the shopping mall. "Stop overthinking. You are with me. So I will take you back to your home. No need to worry."Struggling to calm herself, Ava inhaled deeply.Following a brief glance at his hand, which was holding hers, she turned her attention to his face.He removed his sunglasses and folded them before tucking them into his t-shirt.He was perfect.Unconsciously, she reached out to her hair and combed it with her fingers, thinking that she looked terrible

    Ava folded her arms and rested her back against his car."Surprised? Why? Didn't you see me in Robin's room? Didn't you try to buy me at that nightclub while calling me a whore and a slut? Now what happened? Isn't this who I am in your eyes? That man is going to be my Alpha. Why should I be ashamed to embrace him? He has the right to do whatever he wants with me. He now owns me."Ian was fuming. Only he knew how he was feeling inside.When Ava noticed Ian was silent, she took the opportunity to move aside. She wanted to rush to her home. She was not feeling well in front of him. She did not want to see this man anymore.She was counting down the days until her birthday, when she would be able to go back to the Thunder Howl Pack. She did not stay here any longer.Ian tightened his fists as he controlled himself from stopping her. He knew that if he stopped her, he would lose his mind.Suddenly, he heard her faint voice behind him.“I didn't lie when I said I didn't know about Dane four

    Ava's eyes flung open when she heard his whisper. She blinked her eyes. "I-I..."She started to feel nervous in her heart. She did not know what had happened to her suddenly. She was fine just a few seconds ago.Her heart began to beat faster, making her feel restless inside.A frown formed between Dane's brows. He realized she did not want it.He tilted his head to kiss her lips. However, she turned her head, and his lips touched her cheek.He did not mind kissing her cheek. His lips slid down her cheek to her neck. She closed her eyes as his lips ran over her skin.He grasped her hands and wrapped them around his neck. She used her fists to clench his shirt. He left butterfly kisses on her neck.His hands began to run around her waist before moving to her breasts. Just as he touched one, a flashback occurred in her mind, causing her eyes to wide open.She immediately held his hand to remove it from her bosom.Dane was kissing her neck, so when she pushed his hand, he raised his head

    Freya walked toward Ian and held his arm. It caused Ian to look away from the elevator door."Let's go."He began to walk and remarked,"Never ask me to come here with you again."Freya frowned at him and asked,"But you promised me that you would help me to get back my projects."“I don't need to see your Alpha's face again and again. I will speak with the sponsors directly.”Freya knew she was not the reason why Ian was here. He came here because of Ava. She was not a foolish woman.She kept quiet and decided to leave the company with him.While exiting the building, their gaze was drawn back to Dane and Ava.They had not left yet. Ava was sitting in the passenger seat inside Dane's car. Dane was standing outside, conversing with Griffin.Ian's steps came to a halt in front of his own car. He turned his head to look at the woman in his rival's car.She appeared careless and delighted. How could she be happy after cheating on him years ago?He got into his car and pulled out his phon

    Ava had no idea how her heels twisted on the stairs. She reached for the stair railing, but her fingers slipped and she was on the verge of falling.Her body was waiting to hit the stairs, so she closed her eyes tightly.But before she could fall, a pair of strong arms encircled her waist.She was holding the person's sleeves tightly with her eyes squeezed shut.A familiar scent touched her nostrils, and she furrowed her brows. Her eyes sprang open in shock. She raised her head to look at the person. He held her in his arms and pressed her head against his chest as if to protect her.Ava froze when she realized that it was Ian.He slowly lowered his head to examine her face. Her brows shot up when she noticed a glint of softness in his eyes."Are you oka—"His gentle tone nearly shook her heart. However, someone turned him around before he could finish his sentence.It was Dane who reached her after Ian.Dane grabbed Ava's waist and pulled her closer to him. He pushed Ian's chest, gro

    Days passed with Ava's hard work on the project. Ava had been working at the new office. There was no time for her to go home early.The relationship between her and Dane was improving, though. He looked after her at work. Always, he reminded her to eat regularly.He even agreed to go with her to the reunion party. Ava was thrilled about it. She was grateful that he had agreed.Dane said it was nothing to be thankful about. Since everyone was going with their partner, she also had the right to go there with her partner.Ava's daily life was going well because she had not seen Ian again.She felt relieved that Ian did not say anything to Dane about their past. But she made the decision to tell Dane everything. She was afraid that Dane would be mad if he got to know that she was with his rival in the past. It was the reason she always stopped herself from telling him about it. But she knew she could not hide it from him forever. Since she was not with Ian anymore, it did not matter at a

    Hearing his assuring statements, Freya felt relieved. There was a grin on her face as she gazed at his handsome face.She noticed him raising the bottle and swallowing the drink. The movement of his Adam's apple caused her to move closer to him.She put her hand on his chest and fiddled with the button of his shirt. He cocked his head to the side in order to look at her face.While Freya was getting closer to his face, she began to unbutton his shirt.She tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek. She moved her lips close to his mouth and whispered,"It's been six months since we decided to live our life together in the future. But you never tried to kiss me."She closed her eyes, knowing their lips were only a few inches apart.As just her lips were about to touch his, he gripped her jaw, stopping her from kissing him.She was shocked by his action as her eyes flung open. She was startled when her eyes met his dark orbs."It's because I don't like it.""D-Don't like what?" she mumb

    The night was completely dark. There was no moon to light up the ground. There was only darkness that was engulfing outside.Ian was sitting on the floor, with his back against the bed.There was an empty bottle lying on the floor. He held one bottle in his hand.The redness surrounding his dark orbs was maniacal. He was going through an emotional breakdown. A cold man like him could not cry. But his emotions were visible in his eyes.Bringing the bottle close to his mouth, he chugged a few more gulps. The bitter taste and the high level of alcohol burned his throat.But he did not stop drinking.In the last four years, Ian Dawson had made an image in the werewolf world. People knew the young man was cold and heartless. He showed no mercy and was ruthless toward others. He did not even let go of his own parents, mocking them if they opposed him.If anyone saw him in this condition, they would be shocked.He had the bottle in one hand and one hand that was resting on his knees. His oth

    Because the car was silent, Ronald heard everything. His eyes were on Ian.Ian's eyes grew intense. His one hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, clenched tightly.Ronald's gaze moved to his other hand. His fingers were bleeding. Because of his pressure, the glass broke, and the sharp edges cut his fingers."Ian!"Ian removed the phone from his ear and threw it near the gearbox. Ronald gulped, not knowing how to calm his anger.He was surprised to know that Ava was with Alpha Dane. Wasn't it something unbelievable? He could never have imagined thinking like this before.Ian moved his leg away from the brake pedal and slammed on the accelerator.On the busy road, the car moved like the wind. The speed of the vehicle astounded the people.To get past every other vehicle on the road, the car swerved to the left and right.It was obvious to Ronald that his best friend would not listen. He recalled Ian's accident. He hurriedly pressed the emergency button, letting other cars behind

    Ava said whatever was on her mind and walked out of the room. She felt her cheeks getting wet as she made her way to the canteen. Realizing that she had nearly revealed her vulnerability to the man, she quickly wiped away her tears.Crying was not a sign of weakness. She was in anger and she did not want to burn everything around her. That was why her anger flowed down with tears.She entered the canteen and took a seat at one of the tables.She looked out the window from where she sat at the table.She recalled the incident that happened many months ago.It was a night when she was partying with her friends at a club. It was a birthday party, so they had their own spot in the corner to celebrate while cutting the cake.She was drunk that night.She was not aware that a man was following her. In the name of helping, he led her to a room and began to open the button on her shirt.She was not in her right mind, but she understood that something was happening with her. She became traumat
