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

    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'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.

    It's been one week since I attended Luke's party.That night, I cried for no reason. I asked myself why I started to feel something for a boy who did not even have any idea about my feelings.I could not forget his kiss and his closeness. Abigail had come to pick me up from my house the next day. She noticed a hickey on my neck and looked shocked. When I told her everything, she became very angry with Ian.But I asked her for a promise. I told her not to talk to anyone about it, not even Luke or Debra. She at first did not agree with it since he wanted to teach a lesson to Ian, but later I insisted, and she had no choice but to agree. She even helped me cover the hickey with makeup."Where are you lost, Ava?"I heard my mother, and I looked at her. We were eating breakfast together."Nothing, Mom."“Are you sure? I have been observing you all week. You look a little lost to me. Is everything alright?”"Yeah, Mom. I am fine. Don't worry."My mother gave me a smile and a nod. I stared a

    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

    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.She got out of

    Ian got up from the chair, staring at Ava. When she came to a stop in front of him, she looked into his eyes with her glowing green eyes."Didn't I tell you before? I am a fire. If you get closer, I will burn you. Look at me very carefully. This is me. A Fire witch and an Omega—a hybrid."Ian could not take his eyes off of her. Her beautiful eyes captured her, making him freeze in his state.He recalled that he experienced burning on his wrist when he visited her home in the Thunder Howl Pack.The realization that he had experienced the same burning sensation when touching his hand in Robin's room caused his eyebrows to shoot upward.How could he have ignored that?Seeing that he was not responding, Ava's eyes moved from him and shifted to her friends, who looked scared. She was upset because she feared they would not accept her in this way.Her eyes moved to Stephen, who looked at her with shocked eyes. He was also unaware of this.Her secret identity had finally been revealed in fro

    When Robin noticed Ava talking to Ian, he tried to seize the opportunity. He stepped aside and attempted to run.But at that moment, Ava turned to him.He froze in his state."A-Ava, please let me go. I-"Before he could finish, Ava raised her right hand, igniting the fire in the left blind.Robin started moving backward. With each step, the blinds beside him caught fire one by one.The large hall started to fill with smoke. While trying to get a glimpse of what her best friend was doing, Abigail began to cough and wave her hand. She was worried for Ava. Debra, on the other hand, was unable to react due to her shock."The fire will burn you, Ava! Don't go there!" Abigail said and tried to go there.A hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from going to that location. When she turned her head, she discovered Ronald standing next to her."Leave me. I need to go to Ava. She will get hurt."Once more, Ronald made an attempt to stop her, but she continued to struggle agains

    With one hand clutching Robin's back collar, Ian grabbed a chair and moved toward Ava."Please, let me go," Robin kept saying.Everyone was shocked to see Robin. In fact, Ian's friends were also taken aback. It seemed that they were also unaware of Robin's whereabouts.Ronald looked at Ian with a pair of confused eyes and asked,"Where did you get this bastard?"Stephen growled as he was about to rush toward Robin to attack him. Cyrus and Paul held his arms, stopping him from doing anything.Stephen moved his gaze to Ian and questioned,"You said you wanted to apologize to Ava for the last time. What is Robin doing here?"Ava was not in the sense to hear what Stephen had just said. Her eyes were fixed on Robin.Her eyes welled up in tears. She blinked, rolling the tears down on her cheek. She could not believe that she was seeing the man who had ruined her life, changed her fate, destroyed her heart, and given her a life of humiliation.Ian replied to Stephen with a deep voice,"Your

    As the days went by, Ava continued to focus her complete attention on her work. Dane was busy in his pack, but he called her to ask if she was doing okay in the Mystic Shadow Pack.Time passed swiftly, and Ava's birthday was approaching as well.Her family was planning a party for her without letting her know. It was a secret. Her mother, Angela, was very happy that her daughter was here this year and they could celebrate her birthday together.Since Ava always came home late, Stephen did not get a chance to talk to her. He was very guilty and thought about how to apologize to her.He thought about giving her some presents to make her happy. He did not have any idea what to give.Suddenly he had an idea and dialed a number, thinking that the person could help him.The call rang for the fourth time. As Stephen thought the person would not receive the call and he should cut the call, the person received it."Who the hell are you disturbing my sleep?" A voice rang in Stephen's ear.He sh
