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 did not go to the company today. It was because Alpha Dane had given her a day off.The whole day she stayed at her home. She cleaned her house, thinking about last night. She scolded herself countless times for being so untidy.When she was with her family, she was really caring about these things. But when she left her pack, she felt that she had left herself there. This was a new Ava with a bunch of new habits.She was getting bored in the evening. So she left the house to go to the mall.She was a workaholic. So she did not want to waste her day and went to review different types of fabrics.The mall was full of new collections of fabrics, which came from different packs. The Thunder Howl Pack was doing well in the import-export business.This mall was not like other malls. The entire intention of the shops was to check which products people like to buy and use; after the review, they selected the products of the import business. This pack's exported products were equivalent t
Ava was in a daze. She felt her patience level was getting lower."Alpha Ian? Is he here again?" she asked."What do you mean? This is the best nightclub in the whole pack. Of course, he would come here," the manager said, sounding a little offended by her question.Ava shook her head and said,"I can't go.""What do you mean? It's Alpha Ian. It's your time to shine in your life. If you can impress him, you know your life can change. A rich man can give anything for pleasure, you know."Ava glared at him. "You would have done the same with Rina?""Of course. I don't think she would be this stupid to reject the marvelous offer. And why are you even hesitating? It's not like you never hook up with other guys. It's just for one time. I am not hiring you forever."Was the man persuading her to sell her body to a rival Alpha so that his club would get closer to the other Alphas out of the pack?She felt it was disgusting.She turned around to go back to the changing room. While going insid
Ava froze when she realized her heart was not ready to confront him.However, she eventually came to the realization that she was not the one who could be blamed for anything that had happened in the past.Then why would she run away from him?She should stand still and look into his eyes to face him.She took a long breath and slowly turned around.She looked at him and tightened her fists.Ian's eyes were cold, and his face was indifferent.When she saw him moving his gaze from her face to her body, she clenched her jaw.She felt lowly to herself because his gaze was scanning her body in the same way that other men did with prostitutes.But she did not move an inch. She stood there still, staring at him.When his gaze returned to her eyes, she spoke out,"I-Ian–""Alpha," he corrected her."W-What?"He took a whiff of smoke and exhaled it out of his mouth a few seconds later. Then he muttered,"Bow down to your Alpha."His voice was dominant. Her wolf inside almost submitted to him.
Ava and Ian entered the hall where the reunion party was taking place. They could have booked any hall in any grand hotel, but they always chose this campus to relive all their memories.Everyone turned their heads when the Power Gang and their wives walked into the hall.They were blessed to have their Alpha and Luna around them.Ava looked around before approaching a table with others.Dane and Freya were sitting at the table together. Griffin and Bruno were there with their mates.Ava and Ian took seats across from Dane and Freya."You look hot, Ava!" Freya said."Look who's talking! The biggest model of this generation!" Ava said it back.Everyone laughed as they saw them complimenting each other. There was no jealousy between them. Dane and Ian were also speaking very gently. No one could find any arrogance between them either.Ronald held Abigail's hand and asked,"When will we make a pup? Have you seen how Ivan has grown? He needs a brother or sister."Abigail hit her arm and m
FIVE YEARS LATERInside the master bedroom, Ava was standing near the window.In front of her stood a four-year-old boy. The little boy's head was lowered as he stood there frozen.The sun shone on the boy's face through the window, flexing his handsome features."Ivan, how can you say that to your teacher?" she asked him.The boy glanced at her and murmured, "Mommy, he was scolding me.""So? He can scold you. But you can't just bite him in return.""But Mommy—""Shut up! I will punish you if you do that again."The boy pouted and nodded his head. His gaze shifted to the door and his eyes lit up when he saw a man standing at the door.He rushed to him and hugged his long legs."Dad"He bent down and lifted the little boy in his arms."Who dared to scold my son?"Ava's eyes fell on the man and she placed her hands on her hips and said,"Ian Dawson, your son is getting out of hand. Do you know what he said to his school teacher? He said he would complain to his Dad and his dad would kil
Upon hearing Ian, Ava's cheeks turned red. Experiencing feelings of shyness, she lowered her head.Ian lifted her chin and kissed her softly. His back was pressed against the door as he was kissing her gently.After breaking the kiss, he looked into hers and said,"The kiss was gentle because I can no longer be gentle with you."After that, he lifted her into his arms.Ava wrapped her arms around his neck, stunned by his unexpected action.He pressed her on the bed and got on top of her. She cupped his cheeks and kissed him.Her lips moved in sync with his lips. He licked her bottom lip, as his tongue tried to enter her mouth.She was teasing him, refusing to let his tongue enter her mouth.His hands moved to the back of her dress, pulling the chain down.He stripped off all of her clothes in a minute, leaving her naked in front of his hungry eyes.He kneaded her breasts, which made her gasp. He pushed his tongue into her mouth while running his hand slowly down to her belly.His fing
THREE MONTHS LATER"Ava, it's time."Ava was standing in front of the mirror with two women beside her. One was her own mother, while the other woman was Ian's mother.She turned around to face them."You look stunning in this bridal gown!" Carolina said, kissing her on her cheek."Thanks, Mom," Ava replied.She started calling her 'Mom' about two months ago.Angela embraced her daughter, saying, "I hope you will be the best wife and Luna."Ava nodded her head and hugged her back. Then the two women left the room.There were two other women standing in the corner of the room, looking at Ava from a distance. They were none other than her best friends Abigail and Debra."Are you nervous?" Abigail asked."Of course she is," Debra remarked, laughing.Ava gave them a look and said, "I will tease you both on your wedding days; just wait and watch."They blushed as they knew their wedding date was coming. Since their Alpha was getting married, all of the officials had declared that they woul
Ava took care of Ian for the entire week. Everyone was happy that they got back together.Ian's parents expressed gratitude to her for saving their son. Ava's parents were relieved that she would not have to leave them because she would be with Ian in the future.However, no one talked about the future because Ian was still recovering.Griffin visited the hospital every day to see Ian. He apologized to Ava for his foolishness every day. In retaliation, he came to Ian with a Viola flower, which would help Ian heal faster. Griffin did the same with Dane. He delivered that flower to him as well. He had requested Dane's forgiveness as well as severe punishment.However, Dane stated that he became loyal the moment he put an end to the war.Dane said Griffin could rule the coven. Griffin at first did not agree, but Dane said he did not want to remember the past, so he wanted him to move on.It was late at night when Ava was returning to Ian's cabin in the hospital.She was outside the hospi
The whole room was silent.Dane noticed how protectively Ian held Ava when he pushed her. He shook his head as he grinned. He had always seen Ian's eyes filled with passion for Ava. It was a passion for love, the desire to have her and keep her as his forever.Dane realized that he had misjudged Ian from the beginning. He now realized why he held the top place as an Alpha. It was because he always listened to his heart. He did not think like other Alphas, who always ran after pros and cons.Dane left as he thought his responsibility was over there. Stephen and Ronald were both shocked. But when they glanced at Ian and Ava, they immediately cleared their throats and said,"W-We have some work," Ronald said.Stephen nodded and agreed, "Yes, let's go."They left the room, closing the door behind them.Inside the room,The two people were silent.Ian took some time to process what Dane had said. Didn't he hear their conversation at the party? Then why did he say her heart had chosen him?
It was late at night.Ian opened his eyes as the bright light of the room hit his eyelids. He blinked, trying to clear his vision.He was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by his family.His mother, Carolina, burst into tears when she saw her son awake. She hugged him and said,"My baby, you have opened your eyes!"His father, Alpha Martin, patted his shoulder, saying,"You are a brave man. I am very proud to be your father."Ian was taken aback by what his father had said. It was the first time he said anything like that. Even when he took the pack business to the higher position, he did not say something like that. Even if he had said that before, it did not seem to come from the bottom of his heart. But today, Ian saw a broken father looking at him with love and concern in his eyes for his son."Mom and Dad, I am fine."He said, trying to calm them down. His eyes moved to his friends who were standing on the other side of the bed.Ronald and Stephen smiled at him, their eyes full
Ian's mother, Carolina, was crying while holding Ian's hand. All the way to the hospital, she begged the moon goddess to save his son. But as soon as he closed his eyes, his body became cold.It was as if she was holding a lifeless body."No! My son can't die."She kept screaming on the way to the hospital. Martin, her husband, continued to hug her and try to calm her down.In reality, Martin was broken on the inside. His eyes were fixed on his son's body.All of his life, he treated his son badly. He never pulled him into a hug and asked him what he wanted.He always referred to him as a bad boy, never questioning why he had become one. He never asked his son what he wanted to be or how he wanted to live his life.Martin felt guilty for not telling his son that he also loved him. The miscommunication between the father and son was never resolved.When they arrived at the pack hospital, Ian's body remained motionless.Ronald and Stephen yelled at the hospital staff to take their frien
Ava was looking at Dane's wolf.She pressed her palm, which had already been cut during the fight. Dane groaned in pain as her blood touched his wound.Ava lifted her hands and ignited fire on them. She touched Dane's wound over his fur with the fire.Ava could not help but feel that she was losing her strength as the healing process took some time to complete.Her eyes were closed as she tried to give her best to heal Dane and remove his poison.When she opened her eyes, they turned black.One hour laterAva was walking back and forth outside a room. Inside the room were Dane and his private physician, who was treating his wounds. She had done what she needed to do. Now the doctor would have to stitch Dane's wound.Beside Ava, Beta Bruno and Freya were standing near the door. Freya was crying. She was concerned that Dane might not make it. She wondered if Ava was really able to remove his poison.The room door opened, and the doctor stepped out.His gaze fell on everyone and he smile
