The half-time was over. The game began once again. Everyone started to cheer for their favorite team.

The teachers, students, and guardians were all there to watch the game.

There were only two quarters left to get the result.

Black Diamond was leading to victory.

Ava was watching the game with a distressed mind. She remembered Luke's father and her conversation a while ago.

He said he would think about what she had told him. But he would do what was good for Luke.

Ava did not know what Luke's father would decide for him. She could only hope that it would be on Luke's side.

Team Red Flamor seemed to change their strategies. They began to concentrate more on defense than attack. They attempted to divert the opposing team's attention and seize scoring opportunities.

When Luke scored, Ava jumped up with a big smile on her face.

She was happy for Luke. She believed if he played well, he could win the match.

In her heart, she was guilty.

She did not want to use Luke. She liked Luke, but sh

So they cheered for them in happiness.Debra and Abigail got up and rushed down the stairs to reach Luke to congratulate him.Meanwhile, Ava was sitting on the seat.She was unmoved. She was confused about the thing that had just happened in front of her eyes."I can't believe Ian missed the target.""Exactly!""He intentionally missed the goal.""We all witnessed that.”"Why did he do that?""How could he serve the victory to the team on the plate?""That wasn't even hard for him.

They all were surprised when they observed the same thing.Ava's eyes were fixed on the field. She noticed Ian looking at Luke.His eyes slowly moved to Ava. He did not break eye contact.From far away, she could still see that he was staring at her. It was as if his gaze was mocking her for testing him.

    Ava was crying unexpectedly. She had no idea why she was crying. Was she crying because she had broken Luke's heart?Or she was crying for someone else?She began to search for the person. She wanted to know why he did that.He not only proved himself by intentionally losing the game, but he also made her feel guilty.She had never imagined he would give up his victory for her.While thinking about him, her steps came to a halt at a gate of her campus.She peered at the boys from behind a tree. Ian was about to leave campus, but his friends stopped him.She could hear Ian's friends' furious voices.Her brow furrowed in surprise as she saw Ronald grab Ian's collar."How can you throw water in our four years' hard work?"Cyrus was trying to break free Ian's collar from Ronald.Ian appeared unfazed. He did not reply to Ronald."I can't believe it. How could you be so stupid, Ian? You deceived us. You know that, right?" Stephen asked."Say something. Why did you do that?” Paul said.Cyrus

    Ava left the campus with her friends. They had been consoling her for hours. She was feeling guilty that she made Ian do this thing."Don't think about it. Just think about how much he loves you," Debra said.Abigail nodded her head and hugged Ava's arm. "Please, don't be upset. You are not at fault. Who thought his love was unconditional for you? A bad boy like him has a really bad reputation. So no one can trust him easily."Ava was listening to her friends while sitting in the car. They had been telling her not to feel stressed.However, her heart was desperate. She wanted to go to Ian and talk to him.She could reflect on the moment in her mind when Ian left the campus.

    Ava heard a loud sound, as if someone had fired a gun. She flinched in that sound and covered her ears."Upps, I meant the race has just begun," the girl said, smirking at her.Ava slowly removed her hands from her ears and rushed toward the way where the crowd began to cheer.She felt herself nearly trip over while running. But then a boy took hold of her hand and straightened her out."Thank you," she mumbled.When she raised her head, she noticed a boy eyeing her body. She immediately pushed his hand away and said,"Don't touch me."The boy rolled his eyes and walked past her. She swallowed her breath, thinking that this place was strange. People around her were very different from her.Since she did not have much time to think about other things, she started to walk again. She entered the crowd and pushed people to go further.As she reached the edge where the audience was protected by a safety line, she turned to look for the cars."Are you new? Is this your first time?" A girl a

    The girls surrounded Ian with screaming. They tried to hug him. Through a glare, he pushed them away from him. They took a few steps back, but they did not move away from him because they were aware of his demeanor. He was an arrogant boy, and why would he not be? He would soon become the leader of their pack and their head Alpha.Ava noticed how girls wanted to get close to Ian. She was not pleased with it.She cast a quick glance at their hands. Every single one of them was wearing black bands. It indicated that they all supported Ian, who had a black sports car.Her gaze shifted away from them, and she took a quick look at her hands. She had nothing on her hands and was not wearing anything. In fact, she did not even have any idea about these car races. Did that mean she could not support him properly?She glanced over at Ian for a moment. A group of young men approached him. They handed him a bundle of money. She recalled that Luke had mentioned that Ian had been gambling in car r

    "I am not here to go back home. I want to enjoy the place," Ava replied, looking at the people.Ian arched his brows. He did not like what she had just said. However, he decided not to argue with it.Ava noticed him pulling out his phone."What are you doing?" she asked when she caught a glimpse of a contact name."Calling your brother to take you back from here."She frowned at him and asked,"Wait, what? Why would he take me away? I am here by myself."Ian took a pause. Without looking at her, he started to scroll through the contact number. He found a number and dialed a number."I am calling Cyrus to tell your boyfriend to come and take you from here then," he said, taking a glance at her.Ava froze at his words. "Boyfriend?"She hurriedly stood straight and went to him. She snatched his phone away from his ear and cut the call."No need to call anyone. And what do you mean by boyfriend?"Ian gave him a cold look and said,"What did I mean? You know what I am saying. Last night yo

    Ian froze when Ava hugged him from behind. But when he heard her words, he was shocked.Because of what happened last night, he was in a really bad mood. Because he wanted to show her how much he loved her, he even gave up the championship that belonged to him.He had come to the race to ease his desperate mind, which refused to let go of thinking about her. The only thing he wanted was a distraction.However, when he noticed Ava during the race, he was confused. When he saw her, he believed he was hallucinating.He thought he had gone insane. However, he did not realize that she was actually present until he had won the race and had drifted into the car in a circle.Although he did not approach her, his gaze was constantly focused on her. He did not get very close to her.The reason he came to her was to know why she had come there.When she said to him that she did not accept Luke, he felt something move inside him. But then he thought he could never be the person she would choose f

    Ian smiled at Ava. He leaned close to her lips and muttered,"I love you too."He was about to kiss her again, but a voice interrupted them."I was like how- what the fuck!"When Ava and Ian turned their heads, they saw Monica standing a little far from them."Oh my my!"Monica moved closer to them and took a close look at them as she approached."By looking at her state, I think you are going to bang her tonight," Monica said to Ian while smoking.Ava's eyes grew larger by her words. Ian rolled his eyes and turned to Monica, hiding Ava behind him."Stop teasing her. What are you doing here?" Ian asked her."Bro, you were literally making out against my car," she said, motioning him to the car where Ava's body was pressed.As quickly as she could, Ava moved away from the car. With a chuckle, Monica asked,"She is cute. How long will you keep her with you?"Ian glared at her and replied,"Forever."Monica appeared to be shocked.During this time, Ava turned her gaze to Ian's back. He w

    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 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.

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.

    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.

    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
