Tomorrow was Ava's birthday. It nearly slipped her mind. After what had happened yesterday evening, she could not think of anything else.

Seeing Robin in front of her eyes, she had an urge to kill him there. But she kept her cool and reminded herself that she was not that type of person.

She did not say it, but she was shocked to learn that Nova was the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy.

How could she do such things to a woman when she herself was a woman?

Ava did not cry last night. She had grown stronger. She did not need to cry over silly things when she had the ability to do things she wanted.

She looked down at her palms. It was her hand that was the source of the fire that emanated from her body. Anyone could be burned by the intense heat of the fire. But it was the process of nature that her fire could not hurt her. She could not get burned in the fire.

It was late in the afternoon.

Ava was sitting on her bed at home when she heard her mother call for her.

    Ava was surrounded by the guests her parents had invited for the surprise party. It appeared as though Stephen had invited his friends to attend. Her parents invited Martin Dawson and Carolina Dawson as they were friends.Ava's eyes were on Ian. She sighed and looked away from him, moving her gaze to his parents.She tried to put a smile on her face and greeted them."Hello, Uncle, Auntie."Martin put his hand on her head and said,"I wish you a long life, my child. I am delighted to be a part of your celebration again. Happy birthday."Ava nodded her head after thanking him. Carolina embraced her and said,"You are a beautiful child. Our lovely omega is a beautiful witch.”She was stunned. She glanced at her mother to know if she had told them about her. Angela gave her a nod, indicating that she had already told them about her."How are you, Auntie?" Ava asked Carolina."Always fine. This is for you," Carolina said, lifting her hand.A maid was behind her. She quickly placed a recta

    Ava smiled as she walked into her house with Dan. She felt at ease in his presence. For some reason, she wanted him around her to keep someone else's thoughts away from her mind. She just did not want Ian around her, giving her the uneasiness she always felt around him."Alpha Dane"Gamma Harper approached them and greeted him. Ava was pleased to see how Gamma Harper welcomed Dane.Angela lowered her head, trying to avoid Dane.Dane shook Harper's hand and walked towards the others.On the other hand,Ian was standing near the doorway. He did not come to greet Dane. He was only looking at the smile on Ava's face.Was that a real smile?Was she really that happy with Dane?His heart clenched inside. He looked away, ignoring the pain. His friend's mind linked him, telling him to join others.Ian did not leave the house. He wanted to see Ava celebrating her birthday. He indeed ruined her birthday four years ago. He would not ruin it this time.As he walked toward them, he got a phone cal

    Everyone clapped as Ava blew out the candle. She cut the cake and gave the first slice to her parents. The next piece was for Dane. But her gaze was drawn to Stephen, who was standing alongside his friends.She gave Dane an apologetic look before walking over to Stephen.Ian was very close to Stephen, so he was taken aback when she began coming in his direction. His heart started to beat faster as he thought she was coming to him.His heart grew to believe in an impossible hope. A smile reached his eyes when she came near him.However, the moment she walked past him, his heart pierced inside. He shut his eyes and hurriedly composed his expression."Steph, my brother, after our parents, it is your right," Ava stated, standing in front of Stephen.Stephen was surprised. He could not believe that Ava had indeed forgiven him from her heart.He ate the piece and hugged her. He kissed her forehead and said,"Thanks, Ava. I thought we would never have the same bond again.""It's not true, St

    Ian grabbed Ava's wrist and tried to pull the box out of her palm. She let out a sarcastic laugh upon seeing his reaction.She threw the box on the floor in anger and growled,"If you won't leave now, I will burn you just like your present–"He interrupted her as he started to stroke her palm, saying, "Are you okay?"Ava blinked as her mocking smile faded. Her eyes turned back to black, and she looked at him with bewilderment.Didn't he react like that because she burnt his box?Didn't he already know that she was a fire witch? Why did he start acting like he cares about her burning in her own fire?She got mad at him and yanked her hand away. "Stop acting, Ian. Don't touch me again."Ian's eyes were still on her palm. He had not seen her holding fire before. Yesterday he saw fire but not on her palm. So it was quite shocking for him to see her hand burning. Only when he saw her hand was okay, he felt relieved."Look at your box. I will burn it and turn it into ash. Just like how I se

    Ava walked into the living room with a puzzled expression. She looked at the main door as if she were looking for someone. Approaching the window, she looked out at the parking lot with its large number of cars parked there. She noticed an empty space there.Ava fixed her gaze there. For a few seconds, her eyes flashed green. Her wolf was upset that Ian had been hurt."Stop thinking about him. He is no one to us," she muttered to her wolf, looking away from the window.However, her mind reflected Ian's burned palm. She blinked, not feeling well inside.'Congratulations, Ian. You have successfully ruined my birthday again,' she thought.She felt a hand on her shoulder, which caused her to turn around. It was Stephen."Steph"He reached out her hand and handed her a present. "That's from me.""Thank you, bro," Ava said, hugging him."Well, someone helped me to choose it, though," he muttered as they broke the embrace.Ava seemed perplexed. She noticed that he was looking at someone. Whe

    Everything seemed to be stopped around them. The two wolves were looking at each other for the first time.Both of them were wolves but different kinds. The green eyes were holding the power of magical charms, whereas the red eyes were holding the power of dominance.Ava stepped back when she noticed the black giant wolf. His eyes reminded her of who he really was.When she first felt the scent, she assumed it was Dane, her second chance mate.However, she was shocked to discover that it was the same man who had previously rejected her as his mate.How could Ian Dawson become her mate again?She stepped backward as soon as she saw him moving one step toward her.'How is it possible?' she thought inside.As if he could hear her through a mate link, he whispered,"Mate, am I your second chance? Or you were always my mate?"It seemed as though he did not believe it either. He was baffled. She was confused.He had rejected her once. She could still clearly recall the pain it had caused he

    While Ava was attempting to retreat, the black wolf pounced on her and pinned her down. She was trying to move it away. However, he growled and pierced her neck with his sharp teeth, sealing her as his.She could not help but scream."NO!"With that, her eyes opened in shock.She started to breathe faster when she realized that she was in her bedroom, lying on her bed.She sat up, wiping her sweat from her forehead. She sighed deeply as she pressed her hand against her forehead."It was just a nightmare!" she murmured.She shook her head and slowly moved to get out of the bed.However, as soon as her feet touched the cold floor, she hissed.She froze as she looked down at her feet.She had a few scratches on her feet.Her eyes widened as she recalled what had happened last night.Although the marking was only a dream, she indeed met her mate last night.And her mate was none other than Ian Dawson!She recalled what he had said to her before leaving her in the forest."I will never rej

    In the evening,Dane called Ava and offered to take her somewhere. When she told her friends about it, they did not seem pleased."Ava, think before you take a step," Abigail reminded her.Debra, too, said she should think about it and come up with a solution to the mate problem."Is there no way I can reject him?" she asked them.They said she should have learned about it since they had never heard a female wolf could reject a male wolf. However, they could accept each other's rejection or delay it by not accepting their rejection.Ava wondered how she had felt during their first rejection; she did not even accept it, but her wolf almost died as a result.Many thoughts were racing through her mind. She was very stressed out.When Dane arrived to pick her up, she gave him a friendly smile and then departed with him.The car was the focus of Abigail and Debra's attention."I noticed one thing in Ava's eyes," Debra said."What?" Abigail asked."Confusion. When it comes to Ian, she is ne

    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.

She cupped his cheeks and kissed him.Her lips moved in sync with his lips. He licked her bottom lip, as his tongue tried to enter her mouth.She was teasing him, refusing to let his tongue enter her mouth.His hands moved to the back of her dress, pulling the chain down.He stripped off all of her clothes in a minute, leaving her naked in front of his hungry eyes.He kneaded her breasts, which made her gasp.

    THREE MONTHS LATER"Ava, it's time."Ava was standing in front of the mirror with two women beside her. One was her own mother, while the other woman was Ian's mother.She turned around to face them."You look stunning in this bridal gown!" Carolina said, kissing her on her cheek."Thanks, Mom," Ava replied.She started calling her 'Mom' about two months ago.Angela embraced her daughter, saying, "I hope you will be the best wife and Luna."Ava nodded her head and hugged her back.

Abigail asked."Of course she is," Debra remarked, laughing.Ava gave them a look and said, "I will tease you both on your wedding days; just wait and watch."They blushed as they knew their wedding date was coming.

    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.

    It was late at night.Ian opened his eyes as the bright light of the room hit his eyelids. He blinked, trying to clear his vision.He was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by his family.His mother, Carolina, burst into tears when she saw her son awake. 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
