Ava gulped when she heard him. She blushed hard. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She lifted her hand to touch his arm and pushed him lightly.

Ian was stunned. He thought he did something that she did not like.

"What happened?" He asked, cupping her cheek.

His eyes were curious and worried. It was like he was afraid that she would turn her back to him.

He had finally gotten her; he did not want to lose her again.

She looked into his eyes and said,

"C-Can we start everything slowly?"

For a moment, Ian was confused. But then he realized what she meant.

For Ian, having sex or making out was nothing. It was just part of his daily routine with different girls. Whenever he needed to satisfy his desire, he chose a girl to do that. He never forced a girl to do something. Girls always wanted to be with him, despite the fact that they knew his intentions were only for one night.

But in his eyes, Ava was totally different from them.

She was someone he wanted to be with. She was the on

    Ava could not disagree with Ian. Indeed, her brother was very protective of her."Yes, he is the best brother. I am very lucky to have him in my life."Ian raised a brow and gazed at her."Yeah, that's true. But what about the restrictions he is going to place in front of our path?""Our path?" she asked with a confused look.Ian sighed and turned his head back to the road. His eyes were focused on the road. His lip curved a little."Baby, you are really innocent. I am worried that I will ruin your innocence."Ava's cheeks flushed when she heard him. She looked away from him.The fresh wind touched her face, making her feel refreshed.She could not believe that everything was starting to get better.The sky was cloudy. The smell of the ground was giving an indication that it was going to rain soon.Ava raised her gaze and looked at the beautiful sky. Even though it was nighttime, the white clouds were visible. The black clouds were slowly moving to hide the white clouds.Ava was busy

    "Have a good night," Ian said with a soft tone.Ava lowered her head and made her way to the front door of her house.In the middle of the way, she stopped beside Stephen.Stephen's steps came to a halt as he looked at Ava.She gave her a pleading look."I am sorry, Steph. I know you care about me. You must be really worried. But..."She paused and turned her head to glance at Ian, who was leaning against his car.She returned her gaze back to Stephen and continued,"I had to go to him. It was really important."Stephen stared at her for a while. Then he let out a sigh and nodded at her."I hope you have solved everything."She smiled at him and nodded her head in response.Stephen patted her head and said,"I am happy that you are safe. Though when I heard his voice on the phone, I was relaxed. No one can hurt you when he himself is with you."Ava looked away from him and agreed with his words. Ian was the future Alpha of this pack. So he was the safest person in the whole pack.Afte

    In the morning,Ava's eyes were opened by a ringtone. She reached out her hand to the nightstand and grabbed her phone.She saw it was Debra's call. She immediately sat up as if she felt deja vu.She remembered everything that had happened last night.She was baffled. Was she dreaming?Just like this, Debra called her yesterday to wake her up. Was it just a dream?She hurriedly received the call and asked,"Was I having a dream?”"What?" Debra asked with a confused tone."What day is it today? The match! Is today the basketball match?"Debra took a pause before replying,"Of course. That's why I was calling you. Where are you, Ava? You are late."Hearing Debra, Ava's heart trembled.So everything was a dream?'The kiss, the confession, the drive, and the feelings—was everything just a dream?' she thought.She lowered her head as her mood turned dull. Her heart became heavier.However, right after that moment, she heard Debra's laugh."Why are you laughing?" she asked."Silly, I was ki

    Ava was surprised to hear Stephen.Seeing her surprised look, Ian cleared his throat."It looks like your sister doesn't like it."A chuckle came out of Ronald's mouth, and he muttered,"Maybe he doesn't want you to stay here."Ian raised a brow while looking at Ava and asked, "Is that so?"After giving Ian a quick glance, Ava immediately shook her head. "No, no. I didn't mean anything like that."The corners of Ian's mouth turned up in a smirk. He looked into Ava's eyes, giving her a look that made her feel shy.She averted her gaze from him as she blushed.Stephen noticed them and said, "If you don't want it, I can throw them out, Ava. What's your say?""You can do what?"The question was asked by Cyrus in a shocked tone.Paul laughed and said, "She is your sister. Who do you want to impress now?"After giving them a look that told them to be quiet, Stephen turned his attention to Ava. "Are you fine with it? If you don't then–""No, Steph. I don't have any problem with it."Ronald n

    Ava lowered her head. It caused his nose to brush against her cheek. She felt shiver, but she did not react in front of others.The situation was something she could not react to.She was feeling embarrassed. She scolded Ian in her head for coming this close and made her feel like this in front of others.Ian let out a chuckle and moved away from her. He stood up straight and put his hand on her head.She felt him patting her head."Now eat calmly. If any of them tease you again, I will beat him, okay?"Ava did not know what to say or react. He sounded caring and concerned.He removed his hand from her head and walked back to his chair."Such a caring man you got!" Stephen muttered to Ava while shaking his head.Ava did not know if she had gotten a new disease because her cheeks had been getting heated frequently recently.How could she blush all the time?Ava finished her food hurriedly and rose up from her chair.Before leaving the table, she glanced at others and said,"Goodnight,

    Ava blinked her eyes to understand what Ian meant to say.'Coffee date? Right now? Where?' she thought.She had no idea where Ian would take her. She remembered last night Stephen saying to her that she should not stay out the night before their parents' return. It was only because of her safety.Ava gave it a thought. She made up her mind and thought about going out with Ian."Then let me change my clothes.""No, need.""What?"Ian grabbed her and started to pull her out of her room.She closed the door behind her and followed the way that he was leading.While walking with him, she glanced at his tattooed hands.Her gaze went back to his face. His hair cut was giving him such an attractive look. His fair neck was even more appealing.'What are you doing, Ava?' she asked herself and looked away from him.She shook her head and said,"Control yourself."Ian paused walking and turned to her."When did I lose control?" he asked her.Her eyes widened as she realized she had said it out l

    Ava heard him and slowly moved her hands away from her face. She saw him looking directly into her eyes.She gathered all her courage and asked,"Ian, do you love me this much? Will we always stay together like this?"He glanced at her hands and reached out to touch one. He held her hand and gazed at her."I will always be beside you. But..."Ava was startled."But?"His eyes darkened, causing Ava to be taken aback. She couldn't understand his sudden change."But what?" she asked again.Ian's gaze shifted to her hand. He caressed the back of her hand with his thumb and muttered,"Never think about cheating on me."Ava froze upon hearing him.Cheating on him? Why would she cheat on him? Wasn't she supposed to be the one telling him that? He was the bad boy of the campus who used to be with girls, so she should be the one asking him not to do it.However, she realized that, just like her, he was also insecure deep down. Because he had been waiting for her for a long time. He had told he

    Ava put her hand on his shoulder and got on the bike.Ian grabbed her hands and pulled her closer. He then wrapped her hands around his chest and turned his head at her."I am your man. Hold me tight."His voice was deep. His gaze was intense. She bit her bottom lip and nodded her head at him.He smirked at her and turned back to the road.After putting on his helmet, he started the bike.She glanced at the black helmet. She recalled that when he had offered her his helmet, she refused it. So he had thrown his helmet on the road.'Did he buy a new one?' she thought, examining it.She gasped when her body pressed against his back while the bike moved on the speed breaker."Told you to hold me tight," he reminded her.She exhaled and shook her head.'Did he do that intentionally?' she thought and smiled.She held him tightly despite the fact that her chest was pressed against his back. She rested her head against his shoulder and enjoyed the ride.When they arrived at the university, sh

    Ian's words caught Ava off guard. The wizards that were holding her hand laughed."You were well-known in our coven. They always said you had something in you that no other Alpha possessed. What about revealing that side of yourself to us?"Ian ignored his words as he stared at Ava. He lifted his hands to feel the circle. But the more he tried to touch the air, the more pain surged through his body.He did not want to feel defeated. In front of him was the love of his life. He had lost her once; he could not lose her again.He clenched his jaw, feeling rage for not being able to do what he wanted.The man Ian had let go a while ago grabbed the wooden stick they had brought to scare the young kid. He then charged toward Ian.Ian was so focused on saving Ava that he did not notice what the man was doing.Ava's eyes shifted to the man. Her eyes widened when the man approached Ian from behind."IAN, WATCH OUT!"She screamed, but it was too late. Because the man had already hit Ian's back

    Except for Ava, who was unable to move, everyone turned their heads.When they saw the dark silhouette approaching them, their eyes frowned.Their eyes widened at the sight of the red eyes coming closer. It was as if they saw a power in those eyes, causing them to shake inside in fear.The man came to stand a few feet away behind Ava and muttered,"Bloody wizards…"Ava's eyes moved as she heard the deep voice. She did not need any time to recognize the voice. His voice formed a hope in her heart to finally get aid in this situation.She still had not turned. Her gaze shifted to her brother.Griffin was taken aback as his gaze fell on the person standing behind Ava. He murmured in confusion,"A-Alpha Ian?"All the wizards around them got alerted as their body was tensed.Ian's eyes shifted to the man who was wrapping his hands around Ava's waist. The man looked frozen. Ian's eyes moved down to the man's hand, and immediately he let out a low growl."How dare you touch her?"The man tre

    Griffin suggested that they go to a club and have a drink. Ava agreed since she also needed to clear her mind.There was a club near the company, but Ava did not want to go because she might run into some of the employees. So they decided to go to a club that was quite far away."Isn't it the north side of the city?" Ava asked when she heard Griffin's suggested club."Yeah, but only wizards and witches go there. That can be our safe place."Ava turned to Griffin, who was sitting next to her in his car. "You almost forget you are a hybrid."Griffin grinned at her and nodded his head. "You are right. I shift a few nights a month. I enjoy my magic more."Ava patted her hand on his shoulder. "You should shift more because who knows when we will need your wolf to take over?"Being a hybrid did not mean only having two kinds combined. Their wolves were also very powerful."Okay, I will shift often."Ava and Griffin went to the nightclub. They got to know new people. Griffin introduced her t

    Ava gave them a puzzled look. "Who?"Debra pushed Abigail and walked over to Ava and said, "Don't listen to her. She is just pulling my leg for nothing. Such a bad friend!"Suddenly Ava recalled the interaction between Stephen and Debra. She wondered if Abigail was talking about him.However, she dismissed the thought because she knew her brother would never chase any girl like that. After all, he was one of the members of the Power Gang. Those boys did not chase women; women pursued them.She was about to ask who it was again, but she stopped by a ringtone. She saw who had called her.She received the call and spoke, "Beta Bruno."Debra turned her head to Abigail, making faces at her. Abigail glared at Debra, indicating not to tease her.Ava smiled when she noticed her friends' silent bickering."Freya is coming back to the pack today. So I am not going to come to the company. Tell Alpha I would spend some time with her."Hearing about Freya, Ava felt awkward. She recalled the day wh

    Ava left the office in the evening. She had nothing in her mind. She only wanted to go home and sleep. She had worked all day and eaten little. Dane's words kept replaying in her head every time she thought about her future.It looked like fate had never decided happiness in her life. All it wrote for her was suffering mentally.She was depressed and alone in this pack.On her way, Griffin called her, asking her to meet him. She refused by saying that she was tired. She said she would meet him tomorrow evening.The sky was slowly getting dark. The orange shadow in the sky faded into the darkness.Ava paid the cabbie and walked toward her house.It was a house with three bedrooms. Dane suggested this house, so she never considered moving out, even though it was too large for one person.She took out the keys and was about to open the door when she heard the sound of another car from behind.She turned around and was stunned.The car stopped near her house, and two people were getting o

    ONE WEEK LATERAva awoke to the sound of a loud alarm. She opened her eyes and did not consider sleeping for a few minutes longer. She sat up slowly, grabbing the phone and stopping the alarm, which would continue to snooze if she did not turn it off.She glanced outside the window. It was early in the morning.Another day arrived, and she had to pass it. She believed she would have to cooperate with her fate without questioning it much.She left the Mystic Shadow Pack one week ago. She did not tell her mate before leaving. That was why her wolf was really upset with her, refusing to shift again.Ava was in real trouble. Her wolf's resistance was really hurting her, making her weak.All week, she could only practice her powers as a witch, but she could not shift and run.The last time she had shifted was when she met Ian and realized that he had become her mate.Ava's phone rang in her hand, drawing her attention away from the window.She received the phone call while getting out of t

    "Ava, why did you decide to leave now?" Ava's mother, Angela, said with tears in her eyes.When she and Harper returned home, Ava said she was leaving tonight. She was shocked to hear that, as well as Harper."Mom, Dad, I told you that I would be here for my birthday. My birthday had passed, but I remained here for the competition. Since everything is over now, it's time for me to return to where I belong."Her voice was calm, just like her face. There was no emotion in her eyes that could show her inner feelings.Angela wondered if anything had happened to her daughter. She had spent her entire life protecting her daughter from the Thunder Howl Pack, convinced that Alpha Dane would force her into a relationship. However, after learning that Ian had rejected her daughter as her mate and that Dane treated her gently, Angela realized Dane was the ideal match for her. Ava and Dane were fated, and her ex-husband's decision was not wrong when he promised to marry Ava off to Dane."If you n

    Dane's eyes darkened as soon as he heard Ava.Ava observed those eyes and scoffed at him. "What happened? Lost all the colors from your face?"He clenched his jaw and grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him."You can't be with him."Ava looked into his eyes, noting his fury. "What's wrong? Why didn't you think about it when you spent the night with your mate?"Dane tried to compose himself, losing his grip on her arm. “Look, Ava. I never slept with her after we broke up. She tried a few times to seduce me when she was drunk. I always ignored my wolf and the desire to be close to her. But I lost myself in front of my wolf last night.”He let go of her arm and cupped her cheeks. She looked away from his face. Not wanting him to touch her, she attempted to push him once more.Her eyes landed on the hickeys Freya had purposefully left visible in his chest.If Dane had said that everything Freya said was a lie, she would have ignored it. But he himself admitted everything.Now what woul

    Ava was in a really bad mood because she thought last night she almost cheated on Dane. She should have managed to stop Ian from kissing her or getting close to her.So today, in the early morning, she left her house only to confess what had happened and apologize to him.However, as soon as she saw Freya, she was shocked. Her shock turned into the endpoint when she heard Freya's words."Your m-mate? What are you saying?" Ava asked Freya with a confused look.Freya gave her a poker face. "Don't tell me you don't know that Dane and I are mates."Ava felt the ground slipping beneath her feet. She could not just believe it.Freya and Dane were mates?How come she did not know about it?Freya noticed her expression and scoffed at her. "Why do you think my brother despises you so much? Because you snatched his sister's mate away from her. You destroyed my life, Ava. I was so happy with him. But you entered our life and ruined everything."Ava blinked as she did not know what to feel. When
