"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

    With the glass box in their possession, the employees made their way to the reception area.Ava looked around while heading to the reception. He glanced at Ian. He was using his phone for something. With a throat clearing, she uttered,"You need to get a chain as well. How are you going to wear it?"Ian looked at her and shook his head. "It will come with it," he replied."Oh."When they arrived at the reception area, the receptionist smiled at Ava and handed her the bag. After taking a peek inside the bag, Ava removed the bill to make the payment.As soon as she looked at the bill, her eyes grew wide in shock.It was very expensive. It was greater than the amount that her mother earned in a single month.She scolded herself for coming there. She did not expect the pendent would be this costly.She glanced at the bag, thinking about what she would say to Ian. It was his birthday present. How could she tell him that she did not have that much money? The thought of having to unpack it e

    Ian brought Ava to a restaurant. It was half an hour away from the shopping mall.Ian pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit. His unexpected calm and gentle demeanor astounded Ava.As if he noticed her questioning glance, he said,“I am not this gentle. It's just that I am trying to be patient with you."Hearing him, she looked away from him and replied, "You don't need to. Just be who you are."He raised a brow and looked at her with a sly grin."You will flee from me if I begin to be myself in front of you. I don't want to scare you."She glanced at him, swallowing her breath. He signaled to her to place an order by pointing his eyes toward the menu card.Ava looked at the menu and realized it was quite an expensive restaurant. However, she could afford the prices of regular dishes, so she pushed the menu toward him and said,"Order what you like."He grabbed the menu and nodded his head with a smirk.She wondered why he was smirking. What was on his mind?He called the wait

    It was evening when they arrived at a club. Ian assured her that he would get her back home before her parents left. So Ava was relaxed.After he parked the bike, they strolled together in the direction of the club's gate.The guards stopped Ava, but when they noticed Ian was behind her, they nodded their heads at him.They were about to hold Ava's hand to place a seal on her wrist; however, Ian grabbed her hand and pulled her beside him."No need to seal her hand. She is with me. Isn't it enough?" Ian asked them.The club guards exchanged glances before nodding at Ian."Yeah, sure."They stepped aside, allowing Ian to enter the club with Ava.Ava was new to club things. She only went to parties hosted by her friends or Stephen. They usually turned their places into clubs.Ava cast a glance at the people who were dancing wildly. The smell of liquors was stronger. The music was loud, but not throughout the entire space.With a quick glance, she noticed a dancer pole dancing in one area

    Ian's hands froze around Ava's cheeks when he heard her. He was kind of in disbelief."What did you say?"Ava removed his hands away from her cheeks and replied,"You heard me right. I don't need to repeat it."He frowned at her. "Why are you asking something impossible?"She laughed at him. "Something impossible? The boy who did not consider the possibility of destiny before breaking the mate bond now speaks of impossibility. Nice joke, Ian."Ian stared at her for a while without saying anything, as if he were processing her words in his mind."Are you asking me to lose the match so that Luke can win it?"Ava's brows lifted by his question. Though Luke needed to win the match, she did not have this intention before saying that.She just did not want to trust Ian. That was why she asked him something that he would not do.It was really impossible to lose the final match for Ian Dawson. It would destroy his reputation on campus.Ava believed he would not do that for her. In fact, no on

    Ava was stunned. One year was too early for Ian to rule the pack. She wondered whether Ian was aware of it.Would he be able to run the pack at this young age and with a lifestyle where he did not follow any rules?"That means Stephen is going to be the Gamma of our pack next year as well. We are celebrating this good news," Angelina said with a cheerful voice."Thanks, Mom," Stephen said.Ava looked at her brother and smiled at him. "Congratulations, brother. Soon you will be our gamma."Stephen patted her head and replied,"Then your brother will protect you forever."Harper and Angelina smiled when they saw how much love there was between the brother and sister.Ava spent some time with her family. They sat at the table to have dinner together. Harper and Angelina told them many things that they needed to know about their house.Angelina stated that she had told the maids everything and that they would be at home all the time. Harper said they would try to come back soon."You are

    After hearing her mother, Ava was taken aback. Her memories of the past were limited to dreams. Her mother always tried to avoid telling her about it. She only knew that she was from another pack, and this pack's Alpha and Luna saved them by giving them shelter here."But, Mom, it was a war, and we were trying to save our lives. Because of the war, we lost dad..."Ava paused as she reflected on her father's death. She closed her eyes and bit her tongue, fearing that she had reminded her mother of him.Angelina lowered her head, clearly upset. Ava hugged her mother and mumbled,"Mom, I am sorry. I didn't mean to—"Angelina stopped her and said,"It's okay, my baby. He was a beautiful part of my life. I can never forget him."She broke the embrace and looked into Ava's eyes, then uttered,"But you have to listen to me."Ava did not understand why her mother was so concerned about her. The war was over, and who would remember them? Even if they remembered, what was the problem? They were

    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
