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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

Never seen her around Alpha before."Everyone left, except for Ava and three men in the area.Ava looked directly into Alpha's eyes and asked,"What do you want from me?"Griffin's grip loosened around my hand. He rushed over to the beta, who had just gotten up after grabbing the gun from his Alpha.Ava was too shocked to react because everything happened so quickly."Beta Bruno, don't shoot," Griffin said, holding Bruno's hand, which was pointing the gun at Ava.Ava's breath hitched, feeling a fear of death.Alpha Dane was sitting on the couch, calmly and composed as if he were watching a show.“How dare she speak to him in such a manner? Does she have any idea who is seated in front of her?”Ava listened to Beta Bruno, but her eyes were on Alpha Dane.For some reason, she began to feel hatred for him

    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

    In the office room,Ian was sipping his coffee while looking at the screen of his laptop. He was sitting on his chair behind the desk, focusing on the latest news of today.At his side, Assistant Neon stood with his head lowered.From time to time he glanced at Ian to see if he could identify his mood."So he is here?" Ian uttered.He spoke in a soothing tone as if he was taking pleasure in the coffee while reading the news."Yes, Alpha," Neon replied, peering at the screen.Ian nodded his head. A smirk formed in his mouth as he read the headlines of the articles that the reporters had posted on their website.“Alpha Dane is in the Mystic Shadow Pack. He arrived yesterday, and he intends to remain there for a week at the very least. It is because of the business meeting that is scheduled to take place in this pack today that he arrived yesterday morning.”The news was everywhere.Assistant Neon cleared his throat and said,"Alpha, he rented a house in the neighborhood of this area.""

    Angela shook her head. She assumed Dane would force Ava. She had no way of knowing whether or not what Griffin had said to her was true.Did Ava really know she was a hybrid?"My daughter has no idea who you are. Please don't force her. S-She—""Mom."Angela paused when she heard Ava's voice. Slowly, she turned her head in the direction of the entrance to the living room.Her eyes widened. She didn't know that Ava was at home. She thought she was all alone in the house, and Dane broke into the house."A-AVA!"Dane and Griffin turned to look at Ava.Ava avoided their gazes and walked toward the coffee table near the couch. After placing the tray on the table, she turned to face her mother.Angela's heart was filled with fear. She feared that Ava might have overheard everything."Ava, they are—""Mom, I know who they are."After interrupting her mother, Ava came to stand beside Dane.Angela was confused. She glanced at Griffin, not daring to look at Dane again. She was frightened that h

    Angela's eyes grew larger. She closed her eyes as she whispered,"Never."His grip tightened. His eyes glowed brown in anger."How long do you plan to hide it from her?"She did not reply as she sobbed."Imagine how she will feel when she realizes her own mother has lied to her all this time.""Alpha!"Griffin rushed to Dane when he saw him losing control of himself in rage. He held his arm and said in a low tone,"Please, Alpha. Calm down."Dane clenched his jaw before releasing Angela. She immediately held her neck and started to take deep breaths.Dane pointed his finger at her and muttered,"You portrayed me and my entire pack as her enemies."Angela's tears flowed down her cheeks. Her head was down, her gaze fixed on the floor."I couldn't tell her the truth, Alpha. Please forgive me.""Forgive? What do you think of me? Did you think I did not recognize you four years ago when you came to my pack to cure your new husband?"It left Angela speechless. She looked up into his enraged

    Dane agreed to go inside the house. Ava walked toward the door and opened the door for him.She gestured with her hand and said,"Please come in."Dane gazed at her, then he moved inside the house. When Dane entered the house, Ava turned to the man who was standing near a car.His blue eyes glinted as she looked at him. She waved at him and said,"Brother Griffin, come inside."Griffin refused a few times as he shook his head. But she walked toward him and held his hand."Let's go."Laughing, Griffin allowed her to lead him inside the house.Ava let go of Griffin's hand and told him to sit on the couch.She noticed Dane had taken off his hoodie, which was lying on a couch. He was in his inner white vest. Her cheeks turned red as she took in the sight of his tattooed muscles.He was standing in front of a wall that was adorned with photographs of her family. He was observing the photos.She looked away from him and uttered,"You two can sit. I will make some coffee for you."Dane turne

    Dane's brows narrowed as he looked into her eyes."Not happy to see me?"Ava immediately shook her head. He frowned as he asked,"No?""No, no. I mean... yes! I am happy!" Ava blurted quickly.A smug grin spread across his face as if he was pleased with her response.Ava's gaze shifted away from his brown eyes and toward his casual clothing. It looked like he was roaming around in a very comfortable way as no one knew who he was.But in the blue jeans and black hoodie, he looked charming. Ava was embarrassed when he caught her checking him. She averted her gaze from him.Dane lowered his head to examine her face."Where were you? I have been waiting for you here for so long."She lifted her gaze to him and asked,"So you were the one who turned off the power?""Of course," he replied proudly."You almost scared me dead," she complained, pressing her heart against her chest.Dane raised a brow and asked,"What happened to you? I have never seen you scared, not even four years ago when

    Ava was taken aback."Reunion?""Yes, reunion," Abigail said, pulling out the envelope and pushing it toward Ava.Ava grabbed it and examined it carefully.It was made of thick paper with decorative designs. She slowly opened the envelope and took out a card from inside, which was a warm yellow in color.It was an invitation to attend the reunion party. She noticed her name elegantly written in calligraphy.'Ava Taylor'She put the card back inside and closed the envelope. Returning it to the table, she turned to face her friends."Guys, I don't want to attend any reunion party.""What? But why?" Debra said with a frown.Luke and Abigail were also caught off guard by her words. They leaned forward and tried to persuade her. The same way they used to convince her to go to parties in the past.Ava lowered her gaze and mumbled,"A reunion party means meeting all the people I left behind, including the memories I want to forget."Her friends were silent.After a long moment of silence, Lu
