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

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.

    Ava folded her arms and rested her back against his car."Surprised? Why? Didn't you see me in Robin's room? Didn't you try to buy me at that nightclub while calling me a whore and a slut? Now what happened? Isn't this who I am in your eyes? That man is going to be my Alpha. Why should I be ashamed to embrace him? He has the right to do whatever he wants with me. He now owns me."Ian was fuming. Only he knew how he was feeling inside.When Ava noticed Ian was silent, she took the opportunity to move aside. She wanted to rush to her home.

She was fine just a few seconds ago.Her heart began to beat faster, making her feel restless inside.A frown formed between Dane's brows. He realized she did not want it.He tilted his head to kiss her lips. However, she turned her head, and his lips touched her cheek.He did not mind kissing her cheek. His lips slid down her cheek to her neck. She closed her eyes as his lips ran over her skin.He grasped her hands and wrapped them around his neck. She used her fists to clench his shirt. He left butterfly kisses on her neck.His hands began to run around her waist before moving to her breasts. Just as he touched one, a flashback occurred in her mind, causing her eyes to wide open.She immediately held his hand to remove it from her bosom.Dane was kissing her neck, so when she pushed his hand, he raised his head

    Freya walked toward Ian and held his arm. It caused Ian to look away from the elevator door."Let's go."He began to walk and remarked,"Never ask me to come here with you again."Freya frowned at him and asked,"But you promised me that you would help me to get back my projects."“I don't need to see your Alpha's face again and again. I will speak with the sponsors directly.”Freya knew she was not the reason why Ian was here. He came here because of Ava.

    Ava had no idea how her heels twisted on the stairs. She reached for the stair railing, but her fingers slipped and she was on the verge of falling.Her body was waiting to hit the stairs, so she closed her eyes tightly.But before she could fall, a pair of strong arms encircled her waist.She was holding the person's sleeves tightly with her eyes squeezed shut.A familiar scent touched her nostrils, and she furrowed her brows. Her eyes sprang open in shock. She raised her head to look at the person. He held her in his arms and pressed her head against his chest as if to protect her.Ava froze when she realized that it was Ian.He slowly lowered his head to examine her face. Her brows shot up when she noticed a glint of softness in his eyes."Are you oka—"His gentle tone nearly shook her heart.

    Days passed with Ava's hard work on the project. Ava had been working at the new office. There was no time for her to go home early.The relationship between her and Dane was improving, though. He looked after her at work. Always, he reminded her to eat regularly.He even agreed to go with her to the reunion party. Ava was thrilled about it. She was grateful that he had agreed.Dane said it was nothing to be thankful about. Since everyone was going with their partner, she also had the right to go there with her partner.Ava's daily life was going well because she had not seen Ian again.She felt relieved that Ian did not say anything to Dane about their past. But she made the decision to tell Dane everything. She was afraid that Dane would be mad if he got to know that she was with his rival in the past.

    Hearing his assuring statements, Freya felt relieved. There was a grin on her face as she gazed at his handsome face.She noticed him raising the bottle and swallowing the drink. The movement of his Adam's apple caused her to move closer to him.She put her hand on his chest and fiddled with the button of his shirt. He cocked his head to the side in order to look at her face.While Freya was getting closer to his face, she began to unbutton his shirt.She tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek. She moved her lips close to his mouth and whispered,"It's been six months since we decided to live our life together in the future. But you never tried to kiss me."She closed her eyes, knowing their lips were only a few inches apart.As just her lips were about to touch his, he gripped her jaw, stopping her from kissing him.She was shocked by his action as her eyes flung open. She was startled when her eyes met his dark orbs."It's because I don't like it.""D-Don't like what?" she mumb

    The night was completely dark. There was no moon to light up the ground. There was only darkness that was engulfing outside.Ian was sitting on the floor, with his back against the bed.There was an empty bottle lying on the floor. He held one bottle in his hand.The redness surrounding his dark orbs was maniacal. He was going through an emotional breakdown. A cold man like him could not cry. But his emotions were visible in his eyes.Bringing the bottle close to his mouth, he chugged a few more gulps. The bitter taste and the high level of alcohol burned his throat.But he did not stop drinking.In the last four years, Ian Dawson had made an image in the werewolf world. People knew the young man was cold and heartless. He showed no mercy and was ruthless toward others. He did not even let go of his own parents, mocking them if they opposed him.If anyone saw him in this condition, they would be shocked.He had the bottle in one hand and one hand that was resting on his knees.

    Because the car was silent, Ronald heard everything. His eyes were on Ian.Ian's eyes grew intense. His one hand, which was gripping the steering wheel, clenched tightly.Ronald's gaze moved to his other hand. His fingers were bleeding. Because of his pressure, the glass broke, and the sharp edges cut his fingers."Ian!"Ian removed the phone from his ear and threw it near the gearbox. Ronald gulped, not knowing how to calm his anger.He was surprised to know that Ava was with Alpha Dane. Wasn't it something unbelievable? He could never have imagined thinking like this before.Ian moved his leg away from the brake pedal and slammed on the accelerator.On the busy road, the car moved like the wind. The speed of the vehicle astounded the people.To get past every other vehicle on the road, the car swerved to the left and right.It was obvious to Ronald that his best friend would not listen. He recalled Ian's accident. He hurriedly pressed the emergency button, letting other cars behind

    Ava said whatever was on her mind and walked out of the room. She felt her cheeks getting wet as she made her way to the canteen. Realizing that she had nearly revealed her vulnerability to the man, she quickly wiped away her tears.Crying was not a sign of weakness. She was in anger and she did not want to burn everything around her. That was why her anger flowed down with tears.She entered the canteen and took a seat at one of the tables.She looked out the window from where she sat at the table.She recalled the incident that happened many months ago.It was a night when she was partying with her friends at a club. It was a birthday party, so they had their own spot in the corner to celebrate while cutting the cake.She was drunk that night.She was not aware that a man was following her. In the name of helping, he led her to a room and began to open the button on her shirt.She was not in her right mind, but she understood that something was happening with her. She became traumat
