Third POVIan was out of the pack house the whole day after rejecting Ava. He was unhappy with his fate and kept grumping about the decision of the Moon Goddess.Instead of going back to the pack house, he went to the club. His intention was to have sex with some hot girl to shove this rejection away from his mind. But he ended up loading himself with alcohol. His friends did not leave his side and tried to make him understand that what he did was wrong. He argued with them and asked them to leave him alone. He stuck with his decision.Nova, the current beta's daughter, approached him in the club and tried to lure him. He was so drunk that he told her everything and then fucked up even more.When he woke up in the morning, he found himself in his father's beta's house. Nova told him that last night she proposed to him, and he accepted her, but they did not have sex.Ian rolled his eyes upon hearing that; he knew he did not accept her at all. Everything from last night was still fresh
Ava rushed outside the university, leaving Abigail and Debra behind. She got a glimpse of two boys fighting each other.She began to push the crowd and try to peek at them.She was startled when she saw Ian hit Luke with his head, and Luke fell to the ground.Her body froze when she saw Luke lying on the ground, and blood was coming out of his head.A flashback to the past came to her mind.Her father was lying on the ground like that; he was trying to save himself, but those wolves ran to attack him and killed him.“Hit him.”“Ian”“Ian.”She heard other people's voices.She came back to her senses and noticed Ian raise his hand to punch Luke again.So Ava screamed out loud,"STOP."To her surprise, Ian stopped and turned his head in her direction. He slowly stood up and glared at her.But she pushed him and crouched down to Luke, which shocked everyone in the crowd.She patted Luke’s cheek and mumbled,"No, no, no. You can't die. I can't let you die. Please open your eyes."Even tho
The whole week passed, and Ava still could not move on from the rejection.It was because of her broken heart and her wolf.First, Ian made Nova his girlfriend. Then they roamed around the whole university together, hand in hand, and she tried her best to avoid them. Students did not forget about her and started to pick on her, saying that she should watch who deserved Ian.Second, her wolf became so weak that she was unable to shift. She tried to shift several times, but her wolf howled inside in pain each time. It became difficult for her to come out.Ava did not know what to do or who to tell her problems to. She talked about her wolf with Abigail. She said she would take her to the pack hospital. However, Ava was concerned that her mother would find out about it.It was the weekend.So she did not want to go anywhere. Her life had turned into hell. She became the center of attention, something she did not want. People started to bully her without any reason, especially girls. The
Ian made his way to the couches where his parents and the other two people were seated."Meet your mom's life savior, Angela Adle, and her sweet daughter, Ava Adler," Carolina introduced them to him.Upon hearing the name "Ava Adler," Ian was taken aback.He glanced at Angela, and then his eyes shifted to the girl whose head was down.'What is she doing here?' he thought.Angela pulled herself to her feet and extended her hand to him. "Doctor Angela""Ian Dawson," Ian said as he shook hands with her and introduced himself."Ava, stand up," Angela said to Ava in a hushed tone.Ava got to her feet without looking up. Angela smiled awkwardly. "She is a little shy. Just recently, she turned eighteen. I'm hoping that she will find her mate soon."Ava held her mother's hand and muttered, "Mom."Luna Carolina chuckled at Ava's action.Alpha Martin smiled at Ava and remarked,"She is a lovely girl. Otherwise, today's kids have no shame. They can talk to their parents as openly as if privacy d
Ava’s POVI was shocked that Ian agreed to show me around. But it was not something I wanted.I glanced at my mother, who nodded her head as a signal to go with him and Stephen. I heaved a sigh."Okay."Ian and Stephen walked ahead while I followed them behind. I noticed Ian and Stephen returning to their casual moods as we passed through the living hall. They seemed to be masking themselves in front of their parents, but now that they have moved away from them, they are more relaxed.My eyes focused on Ian. I frowned as my wolf howled while looking at him.'Why do you still feel for him? He's no one to us.' I told my wolf, trying to calm her down."By the way, Ava, I heard you just turned eighteen," Stephen asked while walking in front of me, beside Ian.Ian looked uninterested, and I also moved my eyes away from him and shifted them toward Stephen."Last week," I replied in a lower tone.All thanks to my introverted nature, I was not used to chatting with others.I noticed Ian had h
I went to my mother and asked,"What happened, Mom?"She was shocked as she looked at me. But then she grasped my hand."Bow to your Alpha and Luna. We are leaving now," she said with a hurried tone.I bowed to Alpha Martin and Luna Carolina in puzzlement. I glanced at Gamma Harper, who was also there."If you want this, then okay. We won't force you," Alpha Martin said this to my mother.Luna Carolina looked upset. She turned to me and said,"Come here again."I nodded my head. My mother bowed to Alpha and Luna before quickly dragging me outside the pack house."Mom, what’s wrong?""Nothing. You don't have to know."I was about to call for a cab when a guard came out to inform us that Alpha had instructed his driver to send us home.It was already night, so my mother decided to accept his offer to go back home with Alpha's car.The driver opened the back car door for us. My mother got inside the car. But when I was about to get inside, my eyes met the pack house for the last time.Ho
Third POVLoud gasps could be heard around Ava. She ignored them and threw the ball in Ian’s direction. His eyes were fixed on her as he caught the ball. His eyes turned dark in anger."How dare you talk to my boyfriend like that?" Nova's angry voice echoed throughout the area.Ava turned around and saw Nova coming towards her with her friends. Abigail and Debra got to their feet and stood behind Ava to support her."What do you think of yourself? Do you even know what he can do to your sudden overconfidence? He can break you in a second and throw you away from this pack," Nova warned Ava.At that time, the referee blew a whistle and told the players to get back to the match as time was running out.He looked at the girls and made an announcement. "If any of you try to distract the game again, I'll throw all of you.""Let's sit, Ava."Abigail grabbed Ava's hand and sat in their earlier place. Debra joined them.Nova glared at Ava for a moment, then stomped her leg to the ground. "The
"Open the door."Ava banged on the door for five minutes, but no one answered."Please open the door. I didn't do anything to you. Why are you doing this to me?" She screamed loudly, hoping that even if Ian did not open the door, others outside the room could help her.However, no one came to help her. She tried to look around, but not a single window was there to let in a little sunlight into the room.She lifted her hands and tried to find a switchboard, but it was too dark to find anything.Outside the room,Ian was leaning against the opposite wall, staring at the door.“Weak Omega,” he muttered under his breath.He was listening to her screams, but he did not open the door.It was her punishment.She needed to know who she tried to mess up with.A ringtone played in the hallway. Ian lowered his head and noticed Ava's phone on the floor. He grabbed it and noticed the caller's name.'ABIGAIL'He did not receive the call. Messages popped up on the screen after the ringtone was turne
Ava was shocked upon hearing Robin."Childhood lover?" she asked with a stunned look.Robin glanced at her and nodded his head."I know you would react like that. But I said, secret lover. That's a secret. I doubted he told you about this because it was about many years ago. As time passed, everyone forgot about it."Ava blinked her eyes, not understanding anything. Ian had never talked to her about these things.She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.'It must have been a little crush in childhood. That doesn't matter, Ava. He is now your boyfriend; that's the fact,' she said to herself and tried to be relaxed."Robin, how do you know all of these? Even Stephen never talked about this."Robin leaned his back against the chair and muttered,"As I told you, my dad was a pack fighter. He wanted me to be one like him. So, from a young age, I used to go to the pack house for training. I was a child at that time."He turned her head out of the window as if memories flashed in his
The whole class was silent as the professor began to scold a girl.Ava lowered her head, hiding her face with the book to ignore the professor's angry face. She was afraid that she would be his next target.She paused when she heard a chuckle from next to her.She turned her head and looked at Robin, who was sitting beside her."What's so funny?" She asked."Why are you hiding, Ava?" he asked.He was a little gentle when he talked to her. Ava always felt that he was a calm boy who only liked to study like her. Because whenever they talked, they only talked about studying."We haven't finished our assignment yet. The deadline is coming. Have you forgotten that?"Her question was obvious because, though the last few days they worked on it a lot, they had to focus on other subjects too. So they could not complete the assignment yet."Don't worry. We will complete it in two or three days.""Really?"Robin smiled at her and replied,"Trust me."Ava let out a sigh of relief. Robin grabbed t
With every passing day, Ian was proving how much he loved Ava. They became a hot topic around campus.Everyone started to call Ava their future Luna secretly. They were amazed by the way Ian showed his love for Ava. No matter where she was, his eyes were always on her. It caused others not to approach Ava.On the other hand, Ava became really busy studying. Ian was also focusing on the studies for their upcoming exams. It would be his last exam before graduation. After this, he would have to focus on his throne to become the head Alpha.Ava was having breakfast with her friends in the cafeteria when suddenly the whole cafeteria became silent.Ava turned her head and noticed Ian entering the cafeteria. Once he walked past the people, they began to do what they were doing."Your boyfriend is coming toward our table!" Debra said with a singing tone to tease Ava."I think he wants to sit with her. Let's move," Abigail said to Debra.Ava turned to them with a look. "Why do you both have to
After the class, Ava and her friends walked out of the class."Hey! Ava."Ava turned around when she heard someone calling her.She saw Robin coming towards her."Oh, the cute boy who has become your partner," Debra said.Ava smiled at Robin as he approached her."I was wondering if you have some time so we can discuss our project."He glanced at Abigail and Debra before returning his gaze to Ava again."Bro, you are rude. You didn't even say hi to us. I almost thought about our da–"Abigail interrupted Debra by pinching her waist."Ouch!""Don't mind her," Abigail said with a chuckle.Ava laughed as she saw Debra glaring at Abigail for interrupting her from flirting with the boy.Ava glanced at her phone to check the time and gave it a thought."Actually, my parents are coming back today. So I am a little busy today. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Ava said with an apologetic tone.Robin raised his brows as he asked,"Your parents are out of the pack?"Ava realized that it was confid
The day when Gamma Harper and Angelina were expected to arrive had finally come. Everyone moved out of Stephen's house. It was not like they stayed there all day. They only came to stay at night.But they had made the house their own while Stephen's parents were away.Ian was upset that he would not see Ava every night before sleeping.After the movie night, he made a commitment to himself that he would refrain from touching Ava's body until she was prepared.That night he wanted to hold her in his arms and sleep with her. But her soft voice and calm nature would have turned him on again, so he had to let her go.Today, when Stephen got a call from his father, he told Ian about it first, then went to Ava."They are coming today!"Ava jumped out of the bed."Yes, Ava."Stephen's voice was filled with joy. Ava hurriedly reached him and asked,"Is that mean.... Dad...""Yes! He is fine now. He is healed."Hearing Stephen, Ava hugged him tightly. She was worried that Gamma Harper would lo
Ian was stunned by her action. He appeared to be frozen in his state.Though her lips were on his lips for only a few seconds, he felt it ignited his body.Ava looked at him and said with a pleading tone,"Please don't get mad. Please?"His eyes met hers. "You know what this kiss meant, right? It was a boundary for me to get close to you. You opened it by yourself."She bit her lower lip while nodding her head. "Yeah, I know."Ian's arched brows eased as his expression started to change.He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against his body."You should not have come to my bedroom at this time. I was indeed mad at you. But now it's difficult for me to let you go."Ava lowered her lashes and mumbled,"I can stay here lo–"He did not let her complete it as he turned her body around and pressed it against the wall next to the window.Before she could understand anything, he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.Ava felt her whole body jolting inside by the kiss.Ia
The movie began, and everyone focused on the screen.It was a dark fantasy. Ava was shocked when she realized how many hot scenes the movie had. She blinked her eyes when the hero pulled the heroin over himself and started to make out inside the car."Remember something?"Ava's body jolted when she heard Ian's voice.Debra turned her head at her and whispered,"What happened?"Ava shook her head in response. Then she turned her head to look at Ian, who was sitting beside her."Remember what?" she whispered to him.Ian's eyes were on the screen as he muttered,"We were in the car, and I told you something."It seemed like he recalled something when the car scene appeared in the movie.Ava's lips parted when she remembered what he was talking about. He once told her that he would not let her leave the car one day.She shyly lowered her head without replying to him.The sounds of moans from the soundbox were echoing in the living room.She scolded the person who chose the movie to watch.
Sitting on a bench near the basketball court, Ava was staring at the boy who was playing basketball.He was not in his jersey but in his usual t-shirt and jeans. But still, passion was clay visible in his eyes.As the afternoon sunset, the sky painted itself in hues of red and purple. The reddish light fell on the boy, kissing his skin.Ava felt blissful just looking at him.As he approached the basket, he aimed to throw the ball. When he successfully put the ball inside from a quiet distance, Ava got to her feet with a clap.The boy turned his head to her and smirked at her."Wanna play?"Ava was stunned as she walked over to him. She stopped in front of her and said,"Ian, I can't play. I know nothing about basketball."Ian walked toward the ball that rolled a little far from them. After grabbing the ball, he turned to her and tossed it toward her.She hurriedly grabbed it. The whole court was empty."Lemme teach you then," Ian said, moving toward her.Ava nodded her head with a smi
Ava's heart started to beat faster. She could not let out anything. She almost lost her mind.She could never describe her feelings to anyone.It was something she had never thought of. It was true that she had never thought of this day about how she would react when Ian proposed to her.Ian's eyes were bright with a smile as if he were the happiest person in the world.His handsome face, illuminated by the sun, fell on his face, shining brightly.His voice was loud as if he wanted everyone around them to hear everything he said."I was so foolish to ask the people if you deserve me.”Ava realized that he was talking about the day when he found her as his mate.“The reality is that I don't deserve you. But you still gave this bad boy a chance to get into your heart.”Ava bit her lower lip to control her tears."I am sorry for everything that I have done with you. I am sorry for every single time when I could not realize how important you are to me. I am sorry for not acknowledging thi
