Another week had passed, and Ava was still unable to shift. The entire week was spent trying to shift while whimpering in pain. She discovered that her body started to hurt every night as if someone were beating her.

She was an innocent girl who never wanted bad for anyone. However, what was happening to her was something that she had never expected.

One thing that had changed these days was Ian's behavior.

Ava noticed that he kept staring at her whenever he was around her. In fact, he seemed to always be around her.

She spent the entire week convincing herself that she needed to get her backbone against Ian Dawson. She could not be a crybaby and still have feelings for the man who had rejected her mercilessly and did not care about her life.

In the early morning,

Ava was getting ready to go to university. She turned her back to the mirror and choked on her own breath.

Her bare back was full of scratch marks. It was a mark of claws as if someone had clawed her.

She felt pain all night

    Ava was shocked when her eyes shifted to Ian. The way he was glaring at that boy who was grabbing her hand, it could make anyone scared. He looked fiercer as if he would kill the boy at any time.The boy immediately released Ava's hand. But Ian did not leave his hand, which shook him to the core.Ian glanced at the other two boys who were behind him. They stepped back and ran away from there in fear.Ian twisted the boy's hand. The boy groaned in pain.Ava was watching everything with wide eyes. She remained standing there without moving. When she heard the sound of a broken bone, she gasped. She immediately grasped Ian's hand."What are you doing? Leave him," she said, trying to remove his hand from the boy's wrist. That boy looked like he was dying.Ian turned his head toward her, furrowing his brow, but he let go of the boy's hand.The boy ran away with his broken hand, weeping in pain.Ava gulped when she saw Ian looking angry."You should have thanked me. But rather than thanking

    "Me?" Stephen asked as he looked at Ava."Yeah." Ava nodded her head.Stephen glanced at Ian, whose eyes were fixed on Ava."Steph, don't you know? You should not make a beauty wait," Ronald spoke out.Ava heard it and her cheeks turned red. She lowered her head while waiting for Stephen."Beauty? My foot!" Ian muttered, which was quite audible.Ava's face became upset after hearing him. He was insulting her once again.Stephen got down from the car trunk and said,"Yes. We can talk."Ava looked at him and shook her head. "In private."Now every one of them turned to Ian to look at him. His eyes narrowed, but he remained silent.Stephen swallowed his breath at his friend's enraged expression. However, he was curious as to what Ava wanted to discuss with him."Sure," he replied, motioning his hand in the opposite direction.Then both Ava and Stephen walked to the other side and stood aside to talk with each other.On the other hand,Ian's eyes remained on them."I told you. She has mov

    Ava focused on the road ahead of her. She was going to a restaurant with Stephen because they had decided to go somewhere where they could talk alone.FLASHBACKAva and Stephen walked in the opposite direction, where Ian was sitting."Is there something serious?" Stephen questioned her as they stood in a corner.Ava looked at him and asked,"Did you call my mom today?"She noticed that Stephen's brows shot up. However, he quickly changed his expression and shook his head."No. Why did you think that?""Stephen, please. Don't lie to me. I'm already confused. Don't make me more tense. I am very worried about my mom. I have been observing her. I think she is hiding something from me. Today, when I heard you trying to persuade her about something, you mentioned reconsideration."Seeing how stressed out Ava was, Stephen held her hand."Calm down, girl. Don't think too much.""Please be honest with me."Stephen averted his gaze from her. "She told us not to tell you.""Us? So, does anyone e

    It appeared as though Stephen was taken aback. A gleaming smile appeared on his face as he stood up.His greatest concern was that Ava would either become enraged or decline the marriage proposal. But the fact that she readily agreed with it left him speechless. It showed how good a daughter she was."Are you sure that you can convince her?" he asked, looking at her carefully.Ava gave him a nod and replied,"I can’t promise, but I will do my best. Just like how my mom loves me, I love her the most. If she has a mate, she should be with him. She is fortunate that her mate did not reject her when she refused to be with him. He has been waiting for a very long time."Stephen felt sorry for Ava. What Ian did with her was really wrong.He thought back to the time when Ian had rejected her and told them that he hated her. All of these things about his father were unknown to him on that day.However, when his father became ill, Alpha called him personally and revealed the truth that his fat

    The next day, Ava woke up early to go to the university. The fact that she had been successful in persuading her mother last night made her very happy. At first, she was talking about what others would say. But then Ava had to tell her that by marrying Harper, she could get a father’s name. Though Ava loved her father a lot, she would have to accept Harper as her new father if she wanted happiness in her mother’s life. Ava took a quick shower and got ready hurriedly. She left her house without eating breakfast, telling her mother that she needed to do some work outside. “I have to talk about it with Stephen. He is also concerned about his father," she thought to herself. When Ava arrived at her university, her friends noticed her. Luke gave her a puzzled look. “What am I hearing? Did you go somewhere with Stephen yesterday? Is he blackmailing you for something?” Ava was stunned to hear that. “What are you saying, Luke?” “One of my friends saw you going with him.” Debra was sta

    "Ian, why are you looking at them like this? They will feel uneasy," Ronald said to Ian.For quite some time, Ian had been fixating his gaze on Ava and Stephen.It bothered him that Ava was getting closer and closer to Stephen. He was mad at Stephen because, last night, when he asked him about what Ava was saying to him, he replied that it was nothing much.It was obvious that something was going on between them, and he did not want to tell him about it."Don't you think he is talking too much with that nerd?" Ian asked his friends."Everyone is aware of Stephen's personality. He never engages in unnecessary conversations with others. There must be a reason," Cryan assumed."But what might be the reason?" Paul asked."There is nothing, guys. He is a man. He can fall for anyone you know," Ronald said, glancing at Ian.Ian furrowed his brow and turned to him. "What did you just say?""What? Did I say anything wrong? Don't you all agree with me?" Ronald asked others.Ian scoffed at him a

    Ava went back to her home. Her mother was not at home because she had already gone to the hospital.Ava remained in her room throughout the entire day, thinking about her future.The only thing she could do was hope Harper would make her mother happy and give her what she deserved.In the evening,Ava was lazing around on the couch and watching television. She could hear her phone ringing.Her phone, which was sitting on the table close to the kitchen, caught her attention briefly. She forgot to take her phone from there after having lunch.The phone rang, but she was too lazy to go and answer it."Come on, Ava. You have to do it."After getting to her feet, she proceeded to walk to the table. She looked at her phone screen and saw that it was a group call.She received the call and immediately connected with the other three people in the group."Hello, guys," Ava said."Stephen called us to invite us to his party."It was Abigail who spoke out. Her voice was desperate."Oh, thank God

    Ava looked at herself in the mirror. Both her mother and Stephen were successful in convincing her to get a makeover.Stephen brought her to a young woman who was his cousin. It seemed like she knew about Ava, so she did her best to give her a new look.When she was done, she told Ava to look at herself, and Ava was shocked.She had her hair dyed a dark brown color and cut it in long layers. It was giving her an elegant look.Because she did not wear glasses, her face was clearly visible. The young woman applied smokey makeup, giving her a hot look.She was dressed in a black knee-length dress that hugged her body and showed off her curves. Her black high heels gave her a little more height than usual.Overall, she appeared to have changed completely.Ava was really stunned by looking at herself.“What a beautiful girl!” the young woman complimented her.Ava flushed and looked at her. "Thanks."When she went out of the room to meet Stephen, he was equally stunned. He knew Ava was beau

    FIVE YEARS LATERInside the master bedroom, Ava was standing near the window.In front of her stood a four-year-old boy. The little boy's head was lowered as he stood there frozen.The sun shone on the boy's face through the window, flexing his handsome features."Ivan, how can you say that to your teacher?" she asked him.The boy glanced at her and murmured, "Mommy, he was scolding me.""So? He can scold you. But you can't just bite him in return.""But Mommy—""Shut up! I will punish you if you do that again."The boy pouted and nodded his head. His gaze shifted to the door and his eyes lit up when he saw a man standing at the door.He rushed to him and hugged his long legs."Dad"He bent down and lifted the little boy in his arms."Who dared to scold my son?"Ava's eyes fell on the man and she placed her hands on her hips and said,"Ian Dawson, your son is getting out of hand.

    The whole room was silent.Dane noticed how protectively Ian held Ava when he pushed her. He shook his head as he grinned. He had always seen Ian's eyes filled with passion for Ava. It was a passion for love, the desire to have her and keep her as his forever.Dane realized that he had misjudged Ian from the beginning. He now realized why he held the top place as an Alpha. It was because he always listened to his heart. He did not think like other Alphas, who always ran after pros and cons.Dane left as he thought his responsibility was over there.

She hugged him and said,"My baby, you have opened your eyes!"His father, Alpha Martin, patted his shoulder, saying,"You are a brave man. I am very proud to be your father."Ian was taken aback by what his father had said. It was the first time he said anything like that. Even when he took the pack business to the higher position, he did not say something like that. Even if he had said that before, it did not seem to come from the bottom of his heart. But today, Ian saw a broken father looking at him with love and concern in his eyes for his son."Mom and Dad, I am fine."He said, trying to calm them down. His eyes moved to his friends who were standing on the other side of the bed.Ronald and Stephen smiled at him, their eyes full
