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

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    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

    "I am outside a coffee shop near our university."Ava's soft voice echoed in Ian's ear. His dark eyes slowly eased as they shifted to the girl sitting on the other side of the desk.He glared at the girl and asked Ava in a soft tone,"What are you doing there, baby?"Ava was quiet, which caused his brows to arch. The girl sitting near the desk stood up and walked over to him.She placed her phone on the desk, signaling him to the screen.Ian frowned at her action.The girl was none other than Nova.He was busy in a discussion with his father when she came with his father to the pack house a few minutes ago.He wanted to ignore her, but she said to him in front of everyone that she had something to talk about.His parents told him to talk to her. He told her to follow him to his study room.From then on, she started to say that Ava was cheating on him. Of course, he did not believe her. It was impossible in his heart.

    After parking his bike inside the garage, Ian was about to exit. His steps halted as he turned to look at the broken sports car. Every time he looked at it, all he could think about was the pain he had endured following the accident. He recalled how he secretly hoped to see Ava again, but she never came back. This car used to increase the hatred for Ava in his heart.But tonight, he regretted it.He regretted all the times he thought he hated Ava; he regretted the times he thought she cheated on him.His legs moved toward the car. He lifted his hand and reached out to touch the cracked windshield. He let out a low groan as he caressed it with his fingertips.There was blood streaming from a cut on his finger. It was the same hand that had been wounded on the knuckles. He looked down at his fingers. Suddenly a memory flashed in his head.He recalled how Ava was hugging his leg, begging him not to leave her when he found her in Robin's room. He even called her names and said that her pl

    Dane's words surprised Ava. "Never forgive him?" she mumbled.Her thoughts reverted to the regretful eyes. Ian looked really regretful about the misunderstanding."Yes, don't forgive me. Never. He made you suffer for all these years. I do not want you to forget everything and start acting as if he had never done anything wrong."His words compelled her tender heart to change her mind.Dane was right. She should not forgive Ian. He broke her heart numerous times, and she should never forget it.She nodded, causing her nose to brush up against his again. "Okay."Dane's eyes flickered as if he was satisfied with her answer. He leaned in closer, shifting his gaze from her eyes to her lips.Before his lips could touch hers, they heard giggles. Dane turned his head and looked to the side.Ava blinked, her cheeks flushing red. She cast a glance to the side where Dane was looking. She saw a few girls holding their phones as if they were clicking their pictures and recording videos."L-Let's l

    Ava spent some time with her friends, ignoring the conversations between her and Ian popping in her mind. Tonight she felt as though something heavy had been lifted from her heart.The fact that no one would accuse her from today made her very happy.She was free.She had no fear of humiliation.Sitting on a couch, Ava looked around the hall. She had been looking for Dane since the moment she returned. However, he went somewhere, and she was unable to locate him. She expected to find him later, after spending some time with Abigail and Debra.But it had been half an hour and Dane had not yet returned."Are you trying to find Alpha Dane?" As she followed Ava's eyes, Debra inquired.Ava gave a head nod. "Yeah. Where is he?""Maybe he left the party," Abigail said.Ava turned to look at her. "Left? No way."Ava took her phone out of her bag to call Dane. However, she was surprised to see Dane's message.She read the text in silence."I am outside near the car. You can enjoy the party and

    The doctor appeared to be stunned. Sweat broke into his forehead as it rolled down his face, reaching his neck.He glanced at the man lying like a dead body on the hospital bed. He looked pale, losing nearly all of his blood. The large amount of equipment next to the bed suggested that he might be receiving serious medical attention.The doctor inhaled deeply before speaking,“Alpha, Robin has been in this state for three years now. You wanted to kill him. However, after that, you chose to punish him with something more lethal than death.”Ian's eyes flashed as he recalled how he did not let go of Robin years ago. He indeed tried to kill this man. But he did not do that when his father arrived to stop him.Though he used to believe that Ava had cheated on him, there was a thorn in his heart that always told him that if this man did not exist, maybe everything would be fine in his life. He could never forget that he dared to touch Ava in spite of knowing that she was his girlfriend. He

    Ava left the room, leaving Ian alone. It was exactly like that day in Dane's company.A tear rolled down on his cheek as soon as the door shut from outside.He stared at the door without blinking.How badly had he screwed up?There was no way to get out of the guilt?How much did she have to suffer for him?What could he do to win her forgiveness?Was there a chance for redemption?What he did was not a mistake, but a sin. He doubted a girl who used to love him truthfully. He accused her of infidelity. How did she feel at that time when he turned his back to her?What a loser he was!He closed his eyes, and more tears flowed from his eyes. He never imagined he would cry for anyone one day.Suddenly he recalled what Ava mentioned in the game. It was all Robin's plot against them.When he entered Robin's dorm that day, he noticed Ava wearing his shirt and having some hickeys on her neck. He tightened his fists, thinking Robin had touched her inappropriately.Once again, the realization

    Ian looked into Ava's eyes. As deeply as he looked into them, he searched for love for himself. However, the harshness of her eyes did not allow her to reveal what it was that he desired to see."Ava," he mumbled.His eyes became blurry, and he was unsure of how the feelings that were brewing in his heart had made their way to his eyes. He did not want to let them flow out.She shook her head, letting go of his wrists. She wiped her tears and said,"Ian, you should have distrusted me just like you did years ago. Now, there is nothing to apologize for. You did what you did. You almost ruined my life. But..."She paused, lowering her gaze from him. She closed her eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips, causing him to frown."But what?" he asked, hoping that she could still give him a chance to let him explain his heart."But in my broken state, someone else trusted me and gave me a new life. And... I am with him now."Ian's eyes darkened as soon as she talked about another man. He kne

    Ava blinked her eyes, unable to believe what she had just heard. She felt him resting his head on her shoulder."I am sorry. I am your culprit. Punish me."She felt his voice moving her hair, touching her ear. Her eyes started to hurt inside. Her heart was pounding so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst at any moment.Wasn't it what she wanted four years ago? She wanted him to say those things when she was crying days and nights for him to return to the pack, and she said herself that everything he said was only out of anger.Four years....Every single day of her suffering was reflected in front of her eyes as she stared at the door without moving.Tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt she could not breathe.Even though she had only spent a few days with him, she was thrilled and enjoyed every moment. She was crazy about him and always dreamed about him.Even today, when she thought about the days, she could only feel pain, as if it were raw inside her heart.The memories

    Ava was taken aback to see him in the room. She frowned at him with cold eyes.Ian's back was pressed against the wall. It was as though the wall was supporting his body. His face was nowhere near to match his appearance.His eyes were bloodshot and red. But if anyone observed him carefully, they could see the sorrow inside them.However, Ava had no intention of observing him. She walked in his direction, reaching for the door so she could leave the room immediately.There was no way she could be in the same room with Ian Dawson.Just as she reached the door, Ian raised his hand to block it. She moved backward by one step."What are you trying to do?" she asked.He did not reply as he remained silent.Her eyes fell on his bloodied knuckles, which almost widened her eyes. However, she was able to keep her emotions under control and asked,"What happened to your hand?"His eyes moved to his wounded hand, then he returned his gaze back to her.He let out a hoarse voice when he spoke up.
