Dear readers, feel free to express your thoughts and feelings about this book in the review. Love you all.
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
Ava was too shocked to react. Her eyes widened when her eyes met Ian's cold gaze.Her heart raced like a marathon, which startled her.Why was she feeling like that? It was clear to her that she did not have any feelings for this man right now.Then why?It was her wolf who wanted him.Ian's eyes moved from her face and lowered to her hand, which was holding the bottle against his chest.She followed his gaze and looked at his shirt.She gasped as she noticed the wine had spilled on his shirt, soaking it. Since the shirt was black in color, nobody could see it. However, she could see the shirt damped against his chest."I-I am so sorry."She quickly started to wipe his shirt with the white napkin she had with her uniform.She was so eager to wipe her mistake that she forgot she was still on his lap.Everyone in the cabin turned silent, watching them quietly. They were too afraid to let out a noise. So it was a pin-drop silence there.Ava wiped his shirt, failing to notice his dark gaz
"Alpha, isn't it Miss Taylor?"The driver said to Alpha Dane as he glanced at the woman beside the road.Dane was using his phone. But when he heard his driver, his eyes moved from the phone and shifted on the road."It looks like she is hurt," the driver said, slowing down the speed a little.Dane's eyes darkened when he noticed what his driver was saying was right.It was indeed Ava. She was limping. She was hurt. But she looked lost.Just as the driver tried to drive past her, he suddenly spoke up."Stop the car."The driver hurriedly stopped the car after hearing him.Dane did not wait for his driver to open the door for him. He got out of the car and walked around the car to approach Ava.His eyes paused at her dress up. His eyes, which were dark, turned chilly as he grabbed her arm and turned her to him."What the hell is wrong with you?"Ava was flinched by his cold tone. His yell pulled her back to reality.Tears rolled down her cheeks, which he had not noticed yet. His eyes w
"I can walk."Ava said when Dane picked her up in his arms and walked into her house.He stood near the couch in the living room. Ava's cheeks flushed when she noticed how messy the couch was. She wanted to slap herself for not cleaning it before leaving her house.Who thought the head Alpha of the pack would come to visit her house?Dane glanced at her red face, then grinned. He did not put her down on the couch. He made his way to the door of her bedroom.He put her on the bed and said,"Let me see your leg."She blinked her eyes, staring at him without any reply.He looked into her eyes, which he found really innocent. His eyes then moved down to her body, which was wrapped around with his suit jacket.He grabbed the stool near the bed and sat on it.Ava gasped when he grabbed his ankle.She shook her head and mumbled,"W-What are you doing?"He did not listen to her. He took off her high heel and placed her leg on his thigh. When he moved her leg, the suit jacket slipped down from
Standing on the balcony, a man was gazing at the moon, which was shining so brightly that it was almost blinding. In one hand, he was holding a cigarette, and in the other, he was holding a glass of wine.His gaze was fixed on the moon, and his eyes were sharp as he continued to stare at it. He was challenging his light to shake his gaze.A few light footsteps came from behind as Assistant Neon entered the balcony.He looked at his Alpha, who was looking at the moon. His black attire glowing in the moonlight almost stunned Neon.He had been working with him for three years. All these years, he had never seen him smile brightly. He always looked at others coldly, as if he were not pleased with anyone. He had seen the growing success that he had achieved with the passing years."Alpha."Ian did not turn around when he heard his assistant, Neon's voice.He raised his hand, which was holding the glass, indicating him to continue."Alpha, Gamma Stephen is calling you."Ian moved his eyes a
Ava was feeling exhausted. She just wanted to relax for a while. She came early in the morning and started to work. She did not even have breakfast. The stress of work continued to weigh on her mind. She was unsure whether she could finish her work before the deadline.She looked at the meeting room after discussing her work with one of her employees."Alpha is in the meeting," an employee announced.Ava thought about returning to her cabin since Dane was busy.She came to sit on her chair, resting for a little. She removed her coat because she felt hot inside.As her eyes closed, she heard a ringtone. She pulled her phone from her bag and saw it was Abigail.She received the call.She spoke with Abigail and Debra on a group call last night. She explained everything to them. It was quite surprising to them that she was with Dane now. However, it was the truth."Hello?""Ava, have you spoken to him about the reunion? Will he come?" Abigail asked.Ava pressed her hand to her forehead an
Ava was talking to an employee. A woman stood beside her, holding an expensive gauge of fabric.Ian was staring at Ava.His eyes observed her from afar.Her hair was pulled back into a high bun. Her delicate features were being gently caressed by the strands of loose hair.She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, thereby removing it from direct contact with her face.She was dressed in a green dress that reached just below her knees along with a cream-colored coat that she wore over it.She had a light smile on her face while speaking, but it did not reach her eyes. She looked like a professional woman.As Alpha Dane's assistant approached Ian, he cast a glance in the direction of our Beta Bruno. He said to Bruno,"Alpha is in a meeting. Alpha Ian can wait in his cabin.""Meeting?" Beta Bruno frowned as if he was not aware of it.Ronald sneered at him. "Your Alpha is too afraid to be all alone with him."Beta Bruno gave him a poker look. Ronald rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
The news that Alpha Ian had arrived to pay a visit to the office prompted Beta Bruno to make his way down to the lobby. He came to the company for some pack-related work. But when the receptionist informed Dane that Alpha Ian had come, he told him to receive Ian by saying,"Your sister's fiancé is downstairs. Go and receive him with respect."Bruno had no other option but to carry out the instructions that were given to him. Because he did not have a favorable relationship with Ian, he was dissatisfied with the choice that his sister had made.Who would want his sister to break up with the head Alpha and get involved with the rival Alpha?His gaze landed on the man standing near the reception area.Women in the lobby were whispering as they stared at him. Some of them giggling, some of them clicking photos of him.However, no one dared to approach him.There was a power that ignited from him that caused others to avoid approaching him.Though his black glasses concealed his dark gaze,
Ian was anxious when he woke up in the early morning. All night long, he was unable to sleep.First of all, the thoughts of Ava kept moving around in his head, and secondly, the pain in his back.He took a quick look at his back as he stood in front of the mirror. For a few days, the wounds began to fade. But from the night before yesterday, it started to appear more. The red lines pierced his skin, causing excruciating pain.He hissed as he saw the branches continue to spread across his broad back. It nearly reached his shoulders.He tilted his head left and right. He moved his shoulders in an attempt to avoid the pain.He took a quick shower and changed into a black suit. His back ached while he tried to put on the suit jacket.He considered not wearing it today. He threw it onto the couch and left the room.Seeing him in a white shirt and black pants, his parents were surprised."Are you going somewhere?" his father, Alpha Martin, asked."Why?" he asked sharply."Can't I ask you so
When she broke the hug, he stared at her. His eyes conveyed something she could not read. On the other hand, she made an effort to comprehend that."Dane, I—"Ava was unable to continue her conversation because someone opened the door.As she turned around, she made eye contact with her brother, Stephen."Steph?" she asked with a voice that was completely stunned.After a moment, Stephen's gaze shifted away from her and toward Dane. Dane's eyes lost their softness as they met Stephen's gaze."Alpha Ian's Gamma does not have manners. He thinks he can open any door whenever he wants."Stephen did not get angry. But he did not seem pleased either.Ava recalled how Stephen used to speak cruelly about Dane. He did not like Dane at all.So she hurriedly stepped out of the car and turned to Dane."See you tomorrow at the office."Dane looked away from Stephen and nodded to Ava."See you."He raised his hand to signal his driver to get into the car. When the driver entered the car, Stephen cl
When Ava got in the car with Dane, she did not have a chance to wait and talk to her friends. Her inner thoughts caught her, asking her to run toward them and explain everything.However, when Dane's driver opened the back door and Dane signaled her to enter his car, she had no other option but to follow him.The way back to the new office was not long. Dane selected the new office a few blocks away from Ian's company.As she was sitting silently on the seat, she felt Dane's gaze on her.She did not dare to move to look at him. She knew what he was thinking."Did you know about Freya's silly decision?"She heard Beta Bruno's voice. She looked over at Bruno in the front passenger seat. He had his head turned to her and was looking at her.Ava was not sure if she should say yes or no.Bruno narrowed his brows before saying,"You were aware, but you chose not to inform us. Nice!"There was an anger she could feel in his voice. Bruno clearly did not like Ian because he was his Alpha's riv
Ava sensed the tension in the meeting room. She was aware of it but had never told Dance about it. She did not know why she didn't.Was it because Dane was Freya's ex-boyfriend and she did not want him to think about her anymore?She recalled what Ian had told her on the night of their family get-together. He snatched Freya away from Dane.She cast a glance at Ian, who was looking at Dane with amusement. He seemed to be looking forward to seeing his reaction. The same girl who had previously chosen Dane has now chosen Ian over him.Ava closed her eyes and returned to her chair. She looked at Dane, who was staring at Freya.Did he look confused? No, he was not. But he appeared enraged.Ava realized Freya still held a special place in Dane's heart. She lowered her head, completely ignoring the situation."It is great that we got to meet Alpha Ian's fiancée during the meeting. "We are fortunate," an Alpha exclaimed.Ava was relieved that someone had broken the silence in the room.At tha
Wearing a peach-colored dress that fit her body perfectly, Ava walked into the meeting room.She wore her hair down, and her makeup was absolutely stunning. As she made her way toward the table, her long sleeves flowed freely.Holding an expensive bag that was dangling from her hand, she stood close to the table, looked around at the other people, and then said in a courteous manner,"Take my apology, everyone. I could not make it on time. I had to join the project hurriedly and had to set up all the details early in the morning."The people at the table were astounded to see her. It appeared as though the other Alphas were taken aback by her beauty. They did not know that this pretty woman was behind the beautiful dresses.With a sense of insecurity, the models scrutinized her flawless physique. It was hard for Freya to believe what she was seeing, and she frowned at her.How could she be Florence? Though she had never worked with Florence, she knew Florence was better than their pas
"I-I am so sorry, Alpha."Ian pushed his jaw and told him to get out. The man bowed to him and left.Assistant Neon came inside the room only to see that Ian was ready to leave for the meeting."Alpha, everyone is in the meeting room."Ian gave him a nod and walked out of his office room to go to the meeting room.It was on the fifth floor, and his office was on the top floor. So he and Neon took the elevator to the meeting room, which was located on another floor.When they entered the meeting room, Ian noticed that people from his and other companies who were required to attend the meeting were present.His gaze locked with Ronald's. He also came to discuss the business in a meeting. Despite having nothing to do with this company, he decided to come today.Ian was not a fool. He was aware of why his best friend had chosen to come today.It was because of their rival.He was not surprised when he looked around and saw that all of his friends were there.He walked toward the head seat
