Sitting at the airport while waiting for a flight, Ava was looking around her surroundings.

She had never traveled out of the pack. She was tipping her legs on the floor, watching the people with their families and partners. Either they were going on a vacation or going outside to study or work.

Her face was pale. Her mind was lost somewhere else despite staring at the people before her.

She felt all alone. Her heart was empty. Her tears had dried and could not come out of her eyes anymore.

She looked tired, weak, and exhausted.

As last night she decided to leave the pack, she booked a ticket for her tonight. She had some savings that her mother had given her before her wedding to Gamma Harper.

She looked down at the bank card in her hand.

She had used a lot of that card at her mother's wedding. She recalled that she had bought a watch from Ian on that card as well. It was his birthday present.

She remembered how they spent the whole day together, and Ian confessed to her for the firs

    Those dark brown eyes were so fierce that she forgot to look at the man's face. When her brow arched slightly, Ava's gaze shifted to her other facial features.He was a young man with good looks."I asked, "Who are you?”He asked the question again. This time, his voice was so cold that it made her flinch.She immediately moved back, almost falling back.But a hand grabbed her hand, preventing her from falling.Ava gasped when she noticed how close she was to falling. The man pulled her up, making her stand straight.His hands, which were holding her hand, caught her attention.It was full of tattoos.For once, her heart shook inside as the tattooed hand reminded her of Ian.When the man let her go, she lowered her head and said,"I am not from this pack. I am sorry. I didn't mean to..."She paused when she thought about why she was giving him so much explanation.She looked at the man. In his dark suit, he appeared youthful. But he looked intimidating and unapproachable.Her eyes wen

    FOUR YEARS LATERThe weather was dull. It was freezing outside. The yellowish-orange leaves were falling from the trees, allowing the trees to regrow new leaves.A young woman sneezed as the air rushed past her. She rubbed her nose, which had turned red. She quickly covered her nose with her thick white scarf.Beside her, a young man uttered a mocking utterance."Even after four years of being here, you still can not adapt to the weather in our pack.”She turned to glance at him. Her soft gaze caused the young man's mocking on his face to fade."Brother, stop teasing me," she said in a low tone.He smiled at her and lifted her hand to rub her head."Ava, it is my duty to look after you. You know that."She nodded her head, but then a smile crossed her lips, which he could not notice. As the man stroked her hair, she raised her hand and grabbed his wrist.He paused his movement and looked at her. His blue eyes glowed, and he let out a painful hiss. He quickly yanked his hand away from

    Ava blinked her eyes a few times when she heard Cora. She turned her head and said,"W-What?"The other women burst into laughter. Cora laughed and shook her head.“Just kidding. Everyone in our pack likes him. I wondered if you might choose to remain in this pack so you could see him often.”Ava stared at Cora, not knowing what to reply. Cora was the assistant general manager. She had a solid reputation within the company.Selena, another woman, cleared her throat. She managed advertising. She said,"By the way, I have heard that Alpha Dane has a favorite woman. He is very fond of her."Crystal, the brand promotion department's head, nodded her head to agree with it."I bet it's Freya," she muttered.Ava returned her gaze out of the window while listening to the women's gossip.Freya has been a popular model in recent years. She used to work as an exclusive model for this pack company. However, for unknown reasons, Alpha Dane Erickson terminated her contract six months ago. Everyone

    After wiping her mouth with a tissue, Ava turned her attention to Rina. Rina gave her a sly grin before grabbing a drink from a waiter. Rina gave the waiter a friendly smile as he focused his attention on her. Ava noticed that and said, "Most importantly, you have to save yourself first. I can see what is going on between you and Simon." Ava was familiar with the majority of the waiters and waitresses working at this club. Because she used to do a job in a restaurant when she was a student. These people were with her in that job. Later on, they joined this club as part-timers and began to search for a job that would be ideal for them during the day. To find the job before them, Ava was fortunate enough to find it. She could say it was a miracle. "You called me. Something must be going through your head right now. Tell me," Ava said. Rina paused for a brief moment before taking Ava's hand in hers. "I need your help, Ava." "What in help?" "My little brother is sick. I need to t

    Ava waited for Dane's reply as she stared at him. He was quiet and serene, not how people portrayed him.She did not wonder if they were lying about his cold personality. Because she had witnessed it herself four years ago.It was the time when he stopped her from leaving this pack. She was confused and startled. She felt like he was caging her here.However, over time, she realized where she belonged. She realized how far she was from the truth.Her mother was wrong when she told her that this pack was unsafe for her. The truth was that she believed this was the safest pack for herself.Or perhaps the Alpha of this pack made her feel that way.Ava could see his brown eyes focused on hers. He seemed to say nothing.Ava lowered her tone a little more as she asked,"What happened?"Dane was once the most feared man in the werewolf community. He was the biggest bad boy she had ever met in the past. She was well aware of his brutality and cruelty toward his enemies.Dane's eyes shifted fr

    The sunlight fell on the room, dimming it. The man's face was illuminated as the ray slowly descended onto the bed.It did not bother him at all. He continued to sleep, although the sunlight was all over his face.However, a knock on the door caused his brows to twitch. His brows arched as he could hear the people outside."Alpha""Alpha, wake up. It's time for lunch."There were two maids outside the door, giggling as they were arguing who would call him first."Alpha"The man's eyes flung open. His cold eyes gaze at the ceiling. He frowned and turned his head to the door.He heard giggling again. Then a maid spoke again."Alpha—"He cut her off as he let out an angry yell."Fuck off!"The loud, angry tone echoed throughout the room, making the maids shudder inside. Their bodies began to shake with fear.They hurriedly left, terrified that their Alpha would lash out at them.Inside the room,The man stared at the ceiling for a while. His eyes had the coldness of ice. Even waking up f

    Ava woke up early as usual. She went to the company. She started a new project, which was for an annual ball. She was designing the costumes for the young models. After the showcase, people would start to buy clothes from the company.Ava suddenly thought of opening her own brand. She chuckled and shook the thought away.Opening a brand meant investing millions to make it successful. Since she was under Erickson Industries, people liked her designs. It had brand value, and she got exposure in just a few months.Without this company, she would be nothing.From looking for the best quality clothes to designing them aesthetically, Ava liked to do everything on her own. Though she had many employees under her and an assistant as well, it did not lessen the pressure of her work.When it was break time, Ava went to the cafeteria and sat at the table with the familiar ladies."I heard Freya is back."Ava started to eat while listening to the gossip girls."She was out of the pack for a long

    Ian's dark eyes were cold as they gazed at her. But his face was indifferent as if he did not know her.The tray shook a little, nearly spilling the drinks on it. However, she immediately composed herself and tightened her grip.She looked away from Ian and glanced at the tray. Since it was on the table, she let go of the grip and stood straight.Though Ava composed herself, she could not control her heart. It started to beat so fast that she almost felt difficulty breathing.Her wolf began to whine. She had never done this in these four years.Was it the impact of her old memories or the powerful aura of the person in front of her?The manager of the club came to the cabin and bowed to everyone as a polite greeting. His eyes went to Ian directly, and he said,"Alpha Ian, if you need anything, you can tell our waitress."The manager glanced at Ava. He signaled her to serve the drink to others.Ava was in a daze as her eyes were on the table. She could not describe her feelings.This w

One was Ian with Freya, the soon-to-be Luna of the Mystic Shadow Pack. Their presence at the party was alluring. People clicked their photos together and uploaded them on the internet.The second one was Ava with Dane. People started gossiping about them. They were stunned that their gamma's sister was dating their rival Alpha.Whom would the gamma choose if one day a battle broke out? His Alpha or his future brother-in-law?Someone clicked some photos of Ava with Dane. They even uploaded a video of their closeness, which looked quite intimate.They were outside Dane's car, hugging each other tightly. The video also included footage of their noses brushing against one another. It was only twenty seconds of video, and it ended as if they were about to kiss, but the people did not dare to record their kiss in case Alpha Dane was offended.In a large of

    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.
