Don't Leave Me, Mate 27
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

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

"You can sit here. No one will bother you. If anyone dares, just send me a text," Stephen said to Ava.Ava gave him a nod. Abigail and Debra were looking at them while sitting beside her on a couch.They saw Stephen going to his friends. They turned to face Ava."He is being so nice to you. I have never seen him speak to anyone in such a sweet manner," Abigail said."Maybe he thinks of her as his family since very soon they are going to be a family," Debra said.Ava was only listening to them. She took sips from her drink. It was her first time drinking. So she was feeling wired.She noticed a couple making out in a corner. Her eyes shifted to other sides, and she was surprised that many couples were doing the same."They should get a room,” Ava muttered.Abigail and Debra laughed when they heard her."Stephen won't allow them to enter any of the private rooms.""Oh."Ava bent down to a small table near the couch and placed her half filled glass. Her gaze fell on a boy who was looking

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. She was not a foolish woman.She kept quiet and decided to leave the company with him.While exiting the building, their gaze was drawn back to Dane and Ava.They had not left yet. Ava was sitting in the passenger seat inside Dane's car. Dane was standing outside, conversing with Griffin.Ian's steps came to a halt in front of his own car. He turned his head to look at the woman in his rival's car.She appeared careless and delighted. How could she be happy after cheating on him years ago?He got into his car and pulled out his phon

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. However, someone turned him around before he could finish his sentence.It was Dane who reached her after Ian.Dane grabbed Ava's waist and pulled her closer to him. He pushed Ian's chest, gro

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. It was the reason she always stopped herself from telling him about it. But she knew she could not hide it from him forever. Since she was not with Ian anymore, it did not matter at a

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. His oth

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

Ian's hand had frozen around her waist. His muscles tensed as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him in the cold weather. That time the bone froze, and his hands also froze like that.Ava moved back and stood on her feet. She saw how he was unmoved. She slowly unwrapped his hand from her waist. She brushed his shoulder as if removing invisible dust."It's okay. That happens sometimes. Your reaction is so natural. But..."She looked into his eyes and asked,"Don't you think you are overreacting? I mean I thought you would be happy after learning that. You hate him and he got a whore like me-"She could not finish speaking as he grabbed her waist once again. This time, he spun her around and pressed her against the wall."What did you say?" he asked."Y-You heard me," she responded, taken aback by his unexpected action.She gasped when she saw how instantly his eyes turned red. She was not startled by looking at them. His red eyes were filled with something that looked like
Don't Leave Me, Mate 231
Ava blinked her eyes when she heard Ian. She realized that there were so many things about her that he did not know. Everything had changed in four years. But she was surprised that he still remembered that she was afraid of darkness. She remembered once he told her, "Come to me whenever you feel afraid of the dark. I will always be there for you." Ava's face turned cold as she shoved the old memories. He was the man who put her in the darkness, the darkness from where she needed three and half years to come out. She gathered her strength and pushed his hand away from her mouth. "Alpha Ian, what the hell are you doing?" Because of her push, his other hand, which held a lighter, moved. The flame blew out. The room returned to darkness and silence. The man in the room expected her to ask him to light it again. However, she proved him wrong when she stated, "No, I am not afraid of the darkness. Not anymore." His brows furrowed as he was not expecting this. He was mad
