Ava thought she would feel excited to meet her mother after a long time. But after hearing her tricks to make her return to this pack, she was very disappointed.

"Av—"

Ava did not listen to her as she moved back and left the room.

"Ava, listen to me."

Ava felt like crying. She was so scared about her mother's health. But she was actually fine? She was only trying to fool her!

"Ava"

Her mother grabbed her hand and turned her around. Ava looked at her and said,

“Mom, you lied to me!”

"I am sorry, Ava."

Ava shook her head and uttered,

“I didn't expect this from you, Mom. You lied to me about your health to make me return to this pack?”

Ava’s mother pulled her into a hug and started to cry.

"My daughter, how long will you stay away from me? You left me four years ago without any explanation. Why are you doing this to your mother?"

Ava paused when she heard that. Her mother was right. She left her mother without any excuse. Despite meeting her in the City Moon Pack three years ago, she did

    Abigail rushed out of the car and hugged Ava."Oh my god!""How are you, Abi?""I still can't believe you are back!"Abigail almost cried, seeing Ava.Ava hugged her tightly. "I am sorry that I left without telling you all.""Please don't leave us again," Abigail murmured while hugging her.Ava gave her a small smile after breaking the hug.She held Abigail's hands and looked at her."Abigail, this is not my place. This is not where I belong."Abigail was upset. "I know you want to go back to the City Moon Pack."Ava lowered her head when she realized she had been lying to her friends as well.Abigail opened the car door for her."Get in. Let's go to a club and have fun tonight. Debra is coming.""Okay."Abigail took Ava to the biggest club in the Mystic Shadow Pack.Ava was stunned to see how big the club was. It was the newest club that opened last year. All the important outdoor meetings are held here. All the hangouts or parties of big shots were arranged here."It's a famous club

    The loud music was pounding. The thick air was filled with smoke, and the smell of sweat was near the dance floor.The bar and the lounge area were close to the dance floor. The second floor was for VIPs, but anyone could see them through the glass wall from downstairs.Suddenly, there was a shift in the energy as all the eyes were on the entrance of the club.Walking through the smoke, a handsome man walked inside the club.His eyes held the smoldering intensity that cut right through the lighting.Anyone could feel the temperature rise a few degrees as he moved through the crowd.Ava averted her gaze away from him when a few young men approached him.She noticed three well-known faces beside him. They were beta Ronald, Delta Paul, and Theta Cyrus."Looks like there is an important meeting today," Debra whispered to Abigail.Her whisper reached Ava's ear. She could feel Abigail's hesitation when she replied,"I didn't know about it."Abigail sounded upset. It was as though if she wer

    Debra and Abigail stared at Ava as they saw her walking to the corner to talk on her phone."Do you really think she has someone?" Abigail asked."It looks like so," Debra said, sipping the drink.Abigail looked away and nodded her head. "Then it's good. She also has the right to live her life with someone who loves her."On the other hand,Ava walked toward the corner where the washrooms were.She went inside the lady's washroom. Her phone started to ring again.She received the phone call and placed the phone against her ear."Hello?"The other side was silent. Ava felt nervous when she found the person quiet."Dane?"Her soft voice caused the man to speak, even though he did not want to speak earlier."Where are you?""I am with my friends right now. What's wrong with you? Are you mad at me?""When did you reach that pack?""At noon.""Why didn't you call me to inform me? Or will your mom change your mind?"She let out a sigh, glancing at her face in the mirror. Her hair looked mes

    After grabbing her hand once again, Ian tightened his grip and pulled her hand closer, causing her to move toward him."You never stop surprising me. After all the things you have done, you still have the courage to talk to me like this."Ava looked into his angry eyes. Her eyes turned calm.The two pairs of eyes were looking at each other with different emotions. One of them was enraged, and the other one was sad.But the anger was so intense that he was unable to notice the sadness within the soft eyes.Ava gulped when she stared at Ian. The closeness between them sent shivers inside her. It was as if there was something in the closeness that made her feel strange. No matter how tight his grip was, his one touch made every emotion in her heart change.However, Ava did not show him how she was experiencing it inside.She forced herself to think that all of these were an illusion.After like forever, she composed herself and spoke,"Since you hate me so much, I better keep my distance

    Ian looked away from Ava and turned to Ronald.Ronald shut his mouth for a moment when he saw his dark gaze. But later, he let out a laugh to ease the heated atmosphere.It was true that in the past four years, Ian had changed a lot. He was no longer his friend, who always listened to him or argued with him. He had become his head Alpha, who only liked to order and wanted the work done in time. He did not like any excuses or do any kind of actions that included emotions."What were you saying?" Ian asked.The darkness in his eyes faded as if they listened to his mind.Paul and Cyrus glanced at the dance floor. They did not let out any words."I didn't say anything. But do you know how long you were staring at her?" Ronald said.Ian returned his gaze to Ava and muttered,"If it were you, would you let go of your culprit that easily, Beta Ronald?"Ronald was stunned by the question.Would he let go?He did not know the answer because he was not in his shoes."Since she is here, why don'

    Ava's friends dropped her off at home. They tried to ask her what was going on between her and Ian; she only said he hated her, so she wanted to stay away from him.When Ava entered her house, she saw her mother waiting for her with dinner."Mom? You haven't had your dinner yet?"She shook her head and walked toward Ava. "No. I was waiting for you, my daughter."Ava felt sorry for her mother. She should have come back sooner. She came back to the pack to spend time with her. So she should be with her.She did not have an appetite to eat anything but still had dinner with her mother. She did not want her mother's patience to be wasted.The next morning,Ava woke up in her old room. Moving the blanket away from her head, she reached for her phone, which was ringing loudly.Her eyes were closed. Her brow furrowed when she could not find it. But when her hand found the phone beside her on the bed, she immediately received the call without opening her eyes."Mmmm."She hummed as she tried

    Ava swallowed as she realized her secret could no longer be kept. But all she could do was try."Answer him, Ava," her mother said."I was in the City Moon Pack. He went there while I was not there. He did not find me there, so he is asking this.”Stephen shook his head. "That doesn't make sen—"Ava grabbed his wrist and interrupted,"Mom and Dad, I am taking Stephen with me. I have something to talk to him about."Harper stopped her as he said,"But he was saying something.""Dad, he has a misunderstanding that I would like to clear up.”Harper nodded his head. Ava looked at her mother, who was looking at her suspiciously.'I am sorry, Mom. I can't tell you about it right now. Otherwise, you would not let me go out of this pack again,' she thought and went to her room with Stephen.Stephen quietly observed what Ava was doing. She closed the door and pressed her back against it.Stephen sat on the bed with his arms folded against his chest."So?"Ava lowered her head and mumbled,"Bro

These days, she wandered around the pack to see how it had changed over the previous four years.Four days flew by as if she had just blinked. Ava grew closer to her mother, family, and friends. It gave her the unpleasant feeling that she would have to leave them soon.She still had not told her family about her going back."Ava, good morning, my baby."Her mother, Angela, said when she saw Ava coming downstairs.Ava walked over to the dining table to sit with her family. She settled into the chair next to Stephen.She turned to face him, smiling."Good morning."He nodded and murmured,"Morning."Ava's smile faded away. She dropped her head.When Stephen asked her why she cheated on Ian two days ago, she explained what had happened.He was shocked. But one thing that she had seen in his eyes clearly was confusion. He was confused about whether he should believe in her or not. It hurt Ava.However, she had no control ov

    Ava was talking with Griffin about tomorrow. He inquired as to whether he could come to get her. But she declined and said that she would go there herself.She was not as excited as how she thought she would be a few months ago.Life really changed people and their situations."Then see you tomorrow," Griffing said before hanging up the phone.Ava put down her phone on the bed and left the bedroom.In the living room, she discovered that everyone except Ian was engaged in a conversation about something; however, once they became aware of her presence, they ceased their conversation.Ian was not there; he was in his bedroom.While Ava was making her way to the table to get a glass of water, she inquired,"What is the reason that you all stop talking? Is there a secret?"Abigail cast a quick glance in the direction of Debra and Stephen. They gave a slight nod as if they were in agreement that they would not say anything.On the other hand, Ronald was the one who broke the silence and ra

    Ian grabbed her arm, causing her to turn around and face him. "I am not leaving."Ava shook her head as desperation was clearly visible on her face. "Why can't you understand? I can't go with you. This is where I belong. This is my pack. I—"Ian cut her off as he asked, "So you have problems with it? Then if you want, I can take over the pack for you."Her eyes widened upon hearing him. If he had said that four years ago, she would have thought he was delusional. But he was now the Alpha Ian, the man who had already won a war and taken over one of the biggest packs under his name.His words reminded her of his and Dane's conversation. Ian went to war for her years ago."Why did you take over that pack?" she asked in a low tone."Which pack? Red Moon? I was looking for you and could not find you anywhere. I heard that the pack's head Alpha was not running the pack well. He was taking mistresses for himself. His target was the young girls who had left their families and sought refuge th

    That was not a normal accident but an accident that could take Ian's life away. No one expected Ian to return from the mouth of death. In fact, his blood was so rare that the doctor had a difficult time finding it and saving him.Ava's heart was broken by the realization that Dane had planned to kill Ian.Dane noticed the sadness in Ava's eyes. He moved toward her and cupped her cheeks. His voice was soothing, and his eyes were cloudy."Why are you upset? Didn't you say you don't love him?"Looking at the scene and hearing the words, Ian felt like dying. He tightened his fists and almost moved his muscles to go to Dane and push him away from Ava.However, before he could do that, Ava removed Dane's hands away from her cheeks and slapped Dane.Both Dane and Ian were stunned by Ava's action.Dane was too shocked to react. He had been the head Alpha for so long that he had forgotten when the last time anyone scolded him was, so getting a slap from someone was far from his thoughts."How

    Ava rushed toward her house. There was only one concern wandering around in her heart. 'Is Ian okay?'He was in critical health, and he had lost the ability to shift for some time. So he should stay away from powerful Alphas like Dane right now. If he got into a fight with him, Ian would end up getting hurt again.When Ava arrived at the main door, she discovered it was open. It was as if no one bothered to lock it.Ava was about to walk into her house but paused when she heard Dane's voice."I told you before, you should not touch what is someone else's property."Ava frowned as she stood there, listening to the conversation. She heard Ian's voice as he chuckled before speaking."Someone else's property? She is mine. She is my mate, and I don't think of her as a thing but my love. She is my heart. I can't live without her.""Then you have to die, Alpha Ian."Ava felt her heart clench inside. She shook her head. 'No, no. I hope Dane would not do anything foolish,' she thought."You th

    She blinked for a few minutes without moving. She then gulped, trying to move away, but his left hand wrapped around her waist."Where are you leaving, baby?"His raspy, sleepy voice gave her goosebumps all over her body. She pressed her hand on his chest to move herself away from him.He ran his hand upward from her waist to her neck in slow motion, giving her a shiver in her spine.He grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her closer to his face.He closed his eyes when her wet hair brushed against his face.Ava stared at the good-looking man. His flawless skin with that killing feature could kill any woman before him.He opened his eyes again, looking into hers deeply."Last night.... I thought you would come. I waited for you the entire night. But it looks like you didn't take my words seriously when I said I would take you away."She was frozen in place as she stared at him. His words surprised her.He was waiting for her?She did not even have a thought to go to him. Why did he

    Last night, Ava came to the realization that she still loved Ian. It was impossible for her to resist giving in to him. However, upon awakening in the morning, she realized that she was not in a position to love him.She was committed to someone else. Their commitments were bound years ago during a crucial war.She could not back down now. She was stuck between her feelings and her responsibility.Abigail and Debra stared at her in silence.It was as if they were aware of and understood it.Ava suddenly realized something and looked at them."Wait a minute! Ian said, Mate... so Ronald and Stephen..."She was so embarrassed at the time that she could not grasp Ian's hints in his words.Ava observed them and noticed their reactions. Abigail lowered her head, while Debra blushed.Ava stood up and grabbed their hands."They are your mates?"Abigail shook her head, then told her about Ronald. They were not mates, but she liked him. This morning when she thought to tell him that last night'

    Ian's words made Ava freeze. She was unable to blink or think anything. It was kind of an alert from him to her that he was going to take her away from here.Her eyes flashed in the clouds as the thoughts engulfed her. She began to consider how life would be if she left this pack and went with him.Suddenly she felt a burn on her wrist, causing her to push Ian away.Ian loosened his grip on her hair as he moved. She got up from her chair. With her eyes avoiding his gaze, she spoke,"Stop talking nonsense, Ian. I told you what happened last night was—"She was interrupted by a calling bell. Someone had come to her house.She made her way to the door and opened it."Stephen? Ronald?"Ava was surprised to see them at her door. "What are you two doing in this pack?"They exchanged glances with each other. Stephen gave Ava a small smile and said,"Ian is in the pack. When the Alpha is here, how can we stay in another pack?"Ava frowned at him and asked, "So you came here for him but not to

    Ava moved away from the table and made her way to the couch while saying,"Abigail and Debra are coming back. They are living with me. Last night they got stuck in something and had to spend the night in a hotel."Ian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that so? Can't they keep staying in that hotel?"Ava paused and turned to him. "What?"He shook his head and realized that his thought of being with her alone just slipped out of his mouth.“Nothing. I was just joking, you know,” he replied.Ava's eyes moved to his arm, and she said,"After lunch, I will dress your wound."Ian looked at his arm. He was so caught up in his thoughts from the night before that he forgot about his wound.Ava grabbed a paper bag from the couch and walked over to Ian."Go and change. It would be awkward for others to see you like this."Ian looked at his bare chest. He smirked at her and leaned down to her level."Are you jealous that your friends will see me shirtless?"She looked into his eyes calmly without

    He continued for so long that Ava was exhausted.Ian wanted to go for another round, but when he glanced at the blood on the sheet, he moved from her body and pulled her to his chest. He did not want to hurt her more. It was enough for her first time. It would only hurt her more tomorrow.Even after they finished, Ava's body continued to shake. The sensation of him filling her with his thrusts kept replaying in her mind, causing her body to move.Ian pressed her head against his chest, and she felt a strange warmth that she had never felt before.She slowly lifted her head to look at the man.There was no more distance between them.Her eyes shifted to his arm. The bandage became slightly bloodied, indicating the pressure he had applied all this time.They should not have done it while the wound was still raw.He lowered his gaze to her. He leaned down to kiss her on the lips."Tonight, you gave me something that I didn't deserve. I have always wondered how fate brought me a mate like
