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.

Why did Ian investigate? He is powerful. What happened to her brother? Why did he not chase? He was doing that from the beginning.

    Ian scoffed at her words. It was clear to Ava that he did not believe her."Such an innocent woman you are! You work as a waitress, but you don't even know how to open a bottle of wine?"His mocking remarks hurt her. However, she was adamant to show it through her face.She slowly raised her gaze to look at him. Her gaze locked with his.She gazed into his icy eyes, which had once seemed gentle toward her. She could not believe how much he hated her.It was about two and a half years ago when she almost decided to go back to the Mystic Shadow Pack.It was a night when she was in heat. She wanted to be close to someone. But she did not want to give herself to anyone else. Because she and her wolf both desired him.That night, she was not in her right mind. The emotion inside her was too difficult for her to handle. Even though she knew she could not be with him, she wanted to hear his voice once.Despite changing her phone and SIM card, she could not forget his number. It was as if the

    Ava stared into Ian's eyes. Tears filled her eyes, yet she was stubborn not to reveal her emotions to him.This man was not the Ian who she had known. He had become a whole different man. She felt like this man was someone really cruel. His words were brutal, and they almost ripped her heart.When Ian noticed the tears in the corner of her eyes, his grip did not loosen a little bit. Her tears enraged him more.Did she think that he would sleep with her like other men did?He let go of her hair and said,"What did you think? I call you here to warm my bed?"Her heart ached as she lowered her lashes and moved back.He shook his head and grabbed the packet of cigarettes from the table.He pulled out one and lit it. His moves were quick as if only the smoke could ease his anger.After taking a long smoke inside, he looked at her.She had already gotten off the couch.She glanced at him. After examining her from head to toe, he sneered."I can never desire something like..."He pointed at

    Ava came out of the club. She sobbed while hailing a cab.She got into the cab. When the cab driver asked for the address, she told him the location.During the ride, she tried to keep herself from crying more.She was living a happy life before Ian Dawson arrived and ruined it. Why could he just not let her go?Every time tears rolled down her cheeks, she wiped them.Ian's furious face and hateful eyes started to hunt her inside. She was not used to getting such hatred.'What was my fault?’She did not even cheat on him.Why was she getting such punishments?The cab came to a halt. The driver turned to her and said,"Miss, we are here."Ava wiped her eyes and inhaled. She opened the door and stepped out of the cab.However, she froze when she realized where she had come.She turned to the driver and asked,"Y-You brought me to...""Miss, I asked you twice. You clearly said this address."Ava paid the driver, and he drove away from the area.She turned around and looked at the villa i

    Ava changed into Dane's clothes. The white shirt and black trousers were bigger in size for her body. She managed to wear them by folding the sleeves of the shirt and rolling the waistband of the trousers.When she came back to the living room, she found him leaning against the couch.She cleared her throat. He turned his head and paused his gaze on her."You look good and cute in my clothes," he remarked with a smirk.Her cheeks flushed. She did not respond and walked toward the dining table."Come to have dinner."In the middle of the way, she paused to see if he was following her or not.Seeing that he was approaching her from behind, she continued to walk. She stood beside the table and gestured for him to sit.He smiled at her and stood next to her. She turned to look at him."I talked to Rina a few minutes ago," he said.Ava was surprised to hear that. "I told you not to..."He rubbed his forehead and muttered,"I almost thought about killing her brother so that she would never

    Ava froze in her state. Her heart was not racing for her happiness, but she was scared.She was afraid of what had happened to her in the past.Just thinking about a relationship, she remembered how her last relationship ended up.She turned around and looked at Dane."D-Dane."His face was closer to hers. He stared at her, waiting for her response.But when he noticed her hesitation, he moved a step back and said,"Is it no? Because I can clearly see the hesitation. Can't I reach the level you wanted me to?"She immediately shook her head."It's not like that.""Then?"He asked, looking at her carefully.Ava could feel his impatience. She had been seeing him trying to change himself for her. He once told her that he wanted to be a better man and asked if she would like to help him to become one. From then on, they started to get closer and came to this point."I-I need some time."Her voice shook, afraid that she would hurt him.But his face calmed down as he grinned at her."I am ha

    "You!"Ava was shocked to see Ian in her house. She could not believe her eyes.Was she dreaming?He was staring at her with his cold eyes. His gaze was so sharp that it could cut her throat out."W-What are you doing in my home?""That was not my question," he muttered.She gulped and tried to compose herself. Then she asked,"H-How did you get my address?"She glanced at the front door to see if the lock was broken. She was surprised to find everything was okay."Again wrong answer," he muttered without looking away from her."How did you get into my home?”She asked another question. There was no way she could understand how he had gotten in.He had just broken into her house!As if her continued questioning were irritating him, he got up from the couch and moved toward her.Ava took a step back as she saw him approach her.He came to a stop in front of her and lowered his gaze. She followed his gaze and found him staring at her clothes.These were Dane's clothes.She looked away.

    Ian laughed at her reaction. He could not believe Ava had forgotten that she belonged to the Mystic Shadow Pack, not his rival pack."Book a ticket and return to the pack you belong to. I am giving you some time to think. Take it as a warning of your head Alpha, I will not only banish you but also banish your mother from my pack."She glared at him. "No! You can't do this to my mom. Banish me. Go and banish me from your pack. But my mom is your former Gamma's wife; how can you even say that?"Ian's eyes darkened. "Say? I can do that too. Try me."After warning her, he turned around and left the house.Ava looked at the door. She rushed to the door and slammed it loudly so that he could hear the noise.She was so frustrated that she could not express it.What would she do now?How could he blackmail her like that?She did not want to go back to that pack.Did he not know what was the reason behind her leaving the pack? It was him; he was the reason.Ava started to think of the solution

    Ava went back home and packed her luggage after talking to her mother.All the time her mother was saying one thing,"Come to the pack immediately."When she asked what had happened, her mother said,"I am not feeling well. I want to see you."Ava felt really stressed. She loved her mother the most. She could not lose her. Since she was unwell, she wanted to go and meet her.She really hoped her mother would be fine.She glanced at her phone, staring at a number.It was Stephen's number.He had never called her after she left the pack.She missed her bonding with him. She really accepted him as his brother. So thinking about the past, she felt hurt.'He also misunderstood me and never called me for once,' she thought.Though she tried a lot to convince herself to call him, she always stopped herself from doing that. It was before he was her brother, he was Ian's close friend. She knew he would never believe her over him.Ava left her house and went to the pack company right away.She

    The boy's friends rushed to him and took him away. "Let's go from here. He must be the head Alpha's man. Let's not mess with him."Abigail was not pleased by Ronald's action. She grabbed his collar and pulled him toward her."Why did you do that? He was about to kiss me."He glared at her and asked, "Have you lost your mind? You were going to kiss just a random guy.""So what?" She asked, blinking her eyes to clear her view."Wouldn't it be just a kiss? I have done it before anyway."After saying that, Abigail pushed him lightly and turned around to walk away.However, Ronald grabbed her wrist to stop her. She glanced at his hand and was about to turn to face him.But before that, he spun her around and pressed her back against the railing. "You want a kiss, right?"Abigail was shocked by Ronald's action. "What—"He did not let her speak as he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.Abigail's eyes widened when Ronald's lips touched against hers. She was already drunk, so his li

    Ian started to walk down the alley. While walking, he kept feeling pain in his arm. He clenched his jaw when he lifted his arm and glanced at it.He saw blood dripping out of the wound. It was so painful that it was making it hard for him to breathe steadily.There was a burning sensation in the wound, which indicated that the knife was poisoned or spellbound.When he recalled how that wizard tried to harm Ava, his eyes darkened. If he had not meddled between them, he would have killed Ava.Suddenly, his phone rang in the silent alley.He took a pause to pull his phone out of his pocket with his left hand.When he saw it was his best friend, he picked up the call."Speak," he said after inhaling deeply.As if Ronald felt something was off with him, he asked,"Bro, what's wrong?""Nothing. Where are you two?""We are in the—"Ronald's voice paused when Ian heard a voice from behind him."Where are you going?"It was Ava who picked up his pace and came to stand next to him.Ian did not

    Griffing moved back along with her. He kicked them in the stomach in defense.He had never imagined that protecting his sister would be so difficult for him. He tried to beat them with his abilities and spells.When the wizards could not move anymore, Griffin turned to Ava and asked,"Are you okay?"She nodded her head in response. Her wrist, which had a small cut, had finally stopped bleeding.She frowned when she noticed Griffin's eyes had grown larger. She turned her head and saw the elder wizard hurry to her to stab her with the knife.Ava and Griffin were too shocked to move, or they could say they were frozen by some spells.Ava shut her eyes to embrace the pain as the death was too close to her.However, before she felt the pain, her body was moved by a hard push.Her body collided with Griffin's and they both fell to the ground.Ava did not know what had just happened."Alpha Ian!"Griffin's scared and trembling voice caused Ava's eyes to fling open. She turned her head and im

    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
