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.

    "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.

    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

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.

    Ian was not feeling up to attending Stephen's party. He did not know why he was angry with Stephen.However, he reconsidered attending the party after Ronald called and informed him that everyone wanted him to join them."Didn't you all hear me? I don't want to go," Ian said to Ronald while lying on his bed."Bro, what's wrong with you? You have never declined an invitation to attend a party. And it's our Stephen’s party. Now, what makes you avoid parties?""I am not in the mood.""I know why."Ian thought Ronald would talk about Ava again."Don't talk about that nerd again," he warned him."Wait a minute. When did I talk about Ava? I think you have gone crazy about her.""Don't try to change your words. You were about to speak about her.""No. Have you forgotten that you have a girlfriend?"Hearing Ronald, Ian frowned. He indeed forgot about Nova. In fact, she had been sending messages to him the whole day to go with her to the party, but he ignored all of her messages."Ian, we all

    After parking his bike inside the garage, Ian was about to exit. His steps halted as he turned to look at the broken sports car. Every time he looked at it, all he could think about was the pain he had endured following the accident. He recalled how he secretly hoped to see Ava again, but she never came back. This car used to increase the hatred for Ava in his heart.But tonight, he regretted it.He regretted all the times he thought he hated Ava; he regretted the times he thought she cheated on him.His legs moved toward the car. He lifted his hand and reached out to touch the cracked windshield. He let out a low groan as he caressed it with his fingertips.There was blood streaming from a cut on his finger. It was the same hand that had been wounded on the knuckles. He looked down at his fingers. Suddenly a memory flashed in his head.He recalled how Ava was hugging his leg, begging him not to leave her when he found her in Robin's room. He even called her names and said that her pl

    Dane's words surprised Ava. "Never forgive him?" she mumbled.Her thoughts reverted to the regretful eyes. Ian looked really regretful about the misunderstanding."Yes, don't forgive me. Never. He made you suffer for all these years. I do not want you to forget everything and start acting as if he had never done anything wrong."His words compelled her tender heart to change her mind.Dane was right. She should not forgive Ian. He broke her heart numerous times, and she should never forget it.She nodded, causing her nose to brush up against his again. "Okay."Dane's eyes flickered as if he was satisfied with her answer. He leaned in closer, shifting his gaze from her eyes to her lips.Before his lips could touch hers, they heard giggles. Dane turned his head and looked to the side.Ava blinked, her cheeks flushing red. She cast a glance to the side where Dane was looking. She saw a few girls holding their phones as if they were clicking their pictures and recording videos."L-Let's l

Tonight she felt as though something heavy had been lifted from her heart.The fact that no one would accuse her from today made her very happy.She was free.She had no fear of humiliation.Sitting on a couch, Ava looked around the hall. She had been looking for Dane since the moment she returned. However, he went somewhere, and she was unable to locate him. She expected to find him later, after spending some time with Abigail and Debra.But it had been half an hour and Dane had not yet returned."Are you trying to find Alpha Dane?" As she followed Ava's eyes, Debra inquired.Ava gave a head nod. "Yeah. Where is he?""Maybe he left the party," Abigail said.Ava turned to look at her. "Left? No way."Ava took her phone out of her bag to call Dane. However, she was surprised to see Dane's message.She read the text in silence."I am outside near the car. You can enjoy the party and

    The doctor appeared to be stunned. Sweat broke into his forehead as it rolled down his face, reaching his neck.He glanced at the man lying like a dead body on the hospital bed. He looked pale, losing nearly all of his blood. The large amount of equipment next to the bed suggested that he might be receiving serious medical attention.The doctor inhaled deeply before speaking,“Alpha, Robin has been in this state for three years now. You wanted to kill him. However, after that, you chose to punish him with something more lethal than death.”Ian's eyes flashed as he recalled how he did not let go of Robin years ago. He indeed tried to kill this man. But he did not do that when his father arrived to stop him.Though he used to believe that Ava had cheated on him, there was a thorn in his heart that always told him that if this man did not exist, maybe everything would be fine in his life. He could never forget that he dared to touch Ava in spite of knowing that she was his girlfriend. He

    Ava left the room, leaving Ian alone. It was exactly like that day in Dane's company.A tear rolled down on his cheek as soon as the door shut from outside.He stared at the door without blinking.How badly had he screwed up?There was no way to get out of the guilt?How much did she have to suffer for him?What could he do to win her forgiveness?Was there a chance for redemption?What he did was not a mistake, but a sin. He doubted a girl who used to love him truthfully. He accused her of infidelity. How did she feel at that time when he turned his back to her?What a loser he was!He closed his eyes, and more tears flowed from his eyes. He never imagined he would cry for anyone one day.Suddenly he recalled what Ava mentioned in the game. It was all Robin's plot against them.When he entered Robin's dorm that day, he noticed Ava wearing his shirt and having some hickeys on her neck. He tightened his fists, thinking Robin had touched her inappropriately.Once again, the realization

    Ian looked into Ava's eyes. As deeply as he looked into them, he searched for love for himself. However, the harshness of her eyes did not allow her to reveal what it was that he desired to see."Ava," he mumbled.His eyes became blurry, and he was unsure of how the feelings that were brewing in his heart had made their way to his eyes. He did not want to let them flow out.She shook her head, letting go of his wrists. She wiped her tears and said,"Ian, you should have distrusted me just like you did years ago. Now, there is nothing to apologize for. You did what you did. You almost ruined my life. But..."She paused, lowering her gaze from him. She closed her eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips, causing him to frown."But what?" he asked, hoping that she could still give him a chance to let him explain his heart."But in my broken state, someone else trusted me and gave me a new life. And... I am with him now."Ian's eyes darkened as soon as she talked about another man. He kne

    Ava blinked her eyes, unable to believe what she had just heard. She felt him resting his head on her shoulder."I am sorry. I am your culprit. Punish me."She felt his voice moving her hair, touching her ear. Her eyes started to hurt inside. Her heart was pounding so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst at any moment.Wasn't it what she wanted four years ago? She wanted him to say those things when she was crying days and nights for him to return to the pack, and she said herself that everything he said was only out of anger.Four years....Every single day of her suffering was reflected in front of her eyes as she stared at the door without moving.Tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt she could not breathe.Even though she had only spent a few days with him, she was thrilled and enjoyed every moment. She was crazy about him and always dreamed about him.Even today, when she thought about the days, she could only feel pain, as if it were raw inside her heart.The memories

    Ava was taken aback to see him in the room. She frowned at him with cold eyes.Ian's back was pressed against the wall. It was as though the wall was supporting his body. His face was nowhere near to match his appearance.His eyes were bloodshot and red. But if anyone observed him carefully, they could see the sorrow inside them.However, Ava had no intention of observing him. She walked in his direction, reaching for the door so she could leave the room immediately.There was no way she could be in the same room with Ian Dawson.Just as she reached the door, Ian raised his hand to block it. She moved backward by one step."What are you trying to do?" she asked.He did not reply as he remained silent.Her eyes fell on his bloodied knuckles, which almost widened her eyes. However, she was able to keep her emotions under control and asked,"What happened to your hand?"His eyes moved to his wounded hand, then he returned his gaze back to her.He let out a hoarse voice when he spoke up.
