Ava turned around and looked at Ian. He came to stand next to Freya.

His hand wrapped around Freya's waist, drawing Ava's attention.

She acted as if she did not care. However, she felt awkward inside.

"N-Nothing," Freya said, lowering her head.

When Ava looked at her, she noticed that her expression had abruptly changed.

Was she really acting in such a manner around Ian, or was she just putting on an act to give the impression that she was innocent?

Ava's eyes flashed. She gazed at Ian and said,

"She is right. We were talking about nothing. She was just talking about her past."

Ian raised an eyebrow. "What about the past?”

Freya gave Ava a stern look. Ava grinned at her. "Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say anything wrong?"

"Miss Taylor, it's better if you don't talk about the past. I know a lot about your past. Ian has told me everything."

In her chest, Ava experienced a chilling shiver. Taking a quick look at Ian, she inquired,

"Really? Everything? What did he say?"

    Ava's POV"Ava, leave. Go with your mother. They will kill you both."My father yelled at me, his eyes filling with fear as he looked at the other side of the forest."N-No," I mumbled and sobbed. I could see him lying on the ground. “Little girl, always take care of your mother,” he said while struggling to sit up. There was blood all over his legs."Angela, run away with Ava. Don’t waste time," he told my mother, who was kneeling in front of him and crying loudly."How can I leave you in this condition, Hector?" She cried out in a distressed tone.We all heard crunching sounds.We were in the middle of a war, and every wolf was fighting each other."Leave. I can't shift to protect you two because of my wounds. At least save our little child." My father said it again to my mother.When my mother saw that a pack of wolves was approaching us, she got to her feet, picked me up in her arms, and then started running in the opposite direction while she was carrying me.While running, my mo

    He looked at me with a frown, but then he nodded his head."Whatever," he muttered in a deep voice as he walked past me.When he walked away from me, I closed my eyes, remembering his attractive cologne. I realized it was the first time we had spoken."Hey, Nerdy. Why are you alone? Did you think any of us would count you as a beautiful lonely girl?" A boy paused and said to me.I did not argue with him; in fact, I never argued with anyone because I was afraid that if I did, they would bully me or lie about me to the dean, causing problems for my mother. Except for my three well-wishers, I tried to avoid interacting with others."Robin, stop it and come on. We don't have time for your nonsense," Ian spoke up from a little distance from me.I turned my head toward him. He was looking at the boy who was standing beside me.That boy named Robin walked to him and said,"You should not have stopped me. I was making fun of that nerd.""Still no time for your nonsense," Ian said as he walked

    Ian appeared to be in shock. Within a moment, he let go of my hand.A roar of laughter erupted from everyone. He glared at the other people, signaling for them to be quiet, and they did obey his command."I-I did not mean to get in your way. But–"After his gaze had returned to me, I paused for a moment. Because of his dark eyes, I was unable to move or speak because I was so captivated by them."What exactly are you doing here?" He questioned me with gritted teeth.His question astonished me. Before I could answer his question, another voice rang out."I invited her. She is my friend."I turned around and noticed Luke. I felt relaxed when he came to my rescue. Abigail was alongside him. He came up to me and held my hand."Are you okay?" Luke asked me.Without uttering a single word, I simply nodded my head."When did you start making friends with nerds?" Ian asked with a careless tone.I felt hurt by his question. I lowered my head, trying to conceal my emotions behind my glasses."Do

    I averted my gaze from Ian.The white bikini girl emerged from the swimming pool. She picked up a black bathrobe and tied it. She approached Ian, kissed his cheek, and said something into his ear. He nodded at her with an indifferent face, showing that she was not so important to him but only a girl for tonight. The girl exited the pool area and went indoors.I was shocked by these types of girls. How could they sleep with him? Why did they do that? When they clearly knew that he would never make them, then why?All of these girls were from well-known families. In fact, their parents knew about this, but they never stopped them. They were waiting to entangle their daughters' lives with the Alpha's only son. What if he preferred one of them for his future Luna?I pushed all of my thoughts aside and got up from the couch. I should not be thinking too much. It would be better for me to stay as far away from Ian as possible."Where are you going?" Luke asked me. He was holding two glasses

    I was so shocked that my entire body froze. His lips felt electrifying against my lips. I shut my eyes when I started to feel a different sensation.His hand lifted to my wet hair, tucking it behind my left ear before deepening the kiss.When I realized what was happening, I tried to push on his chest with my hands. But he grabbed my wrists with one hand and locked them behind my back.He broke the kiss and touched my lips with his fingertips."Why do these lips feel like they are virgin lips? Why are you playing hard to get with me? Didn't they tell you that I like rough?"I had no idea what he was talking about. Of course, it was my first kiss, which he stole away from me."I-"Before I could stop him, he buried his face in my neck."What's with this smell? I'm warning you. Don't play any tricks with me. It will be just one night."I was stunned by his words. I felt tears well up in my eyes.'One night? Is he thinking that I am one of those girls? No, I don't want to be one of them.

    Ava's mother smiled at Freya and said,"That's her pleasure. You are going to be the Luna of this pack. Of course, nobody would mind.”Ava closed her eyes, almost facepalming herself. She did not want to speak to the woman.She was not only her ex-boyfriend's fiancée but also the ex-girlfriend who of the man she liked right now.Freya walked toward Ava when others were headed to the dining room.Ava looked at Freya and said,"Miss Harrison.""Oh, please.

So if you can, please try to avoid talking about it."Freya's brows raised briefly before falling back as she nodded.A smirk formed on her lips as she as

Her brows rose up when she realized that Freya was also a beta's daughter.Freya had not noticed her yet. She politely greeted Ian's and Ava's parents. Ian gestured with his hand to a couch, and they went to sit there.Unintentionally, Ava's eyes followed their movements. She noticed them sitting on a couch, where she could see them clearly.Sitting on the couch, Ian around his hand around Freya, who nestled in his arm. They looked like a perfect couple.Ava's breath caught in her throat.Wasn't this what she left the pack to avoid seeing? Him with another woman.She reminded herself that Ian was no one to her, so she should not care. However, something continued to sting her heart.Everyone smiled at them as Ian and Freya looked at each other.Ava's eyes moved to her own parents. They looked pleased to see the

    Ava returned home in the afternoon. She got ready in the evening and was ready to go to the party.She was dressed in a long white cotton dress. The lace on her collar was beautifully adorned with white pearls.She let her hair down and applied simple makeup. It gave her a very natural appearance.Her parents were happy to see her when she came out of the house. They were waiting for her in the car."My beautiful daughter," her mother said.Ava kissed her cheek and said,"My mom is so beautiful. So I had to look beautiful, you know."They chuckled at each other's remarks. Stephen started the car while sitting in the driver's seat; Harper sat beside him in the passenger seat.The whole family headed to the pack house.Ava glanced at the streetlights as they passed the window of the car.The yellow lights were making her nervous. Her eyes glowed emerald for a moment, then returned to black.Ava's gaze was drawn to the trees as the car drove past the forest. She breathed in fresh air.Sh

    It's been four days since Ava returned to the Mystic Shadow Pack. 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 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
