That was not a normal accident but an accident that could take Ian's life away. No one expected Ian to return from the mouth of death. In fact, his blood was so rare that the doctor had a difficult time finding it and saving him.Ava's heart was broken by the realization that Dane had planned to kill Ian.Dane noticed the sadness in Ava's eyes. He moved toward her and cupped her cheeks. His voice was soothing, and his eyes were cloudy."Why are you upset? Didn't you say you don't love him?"Looking at the scene and hearing the words, Ian felt like dying. He tightened his fists and almost moved his muscles to go to Dane and push him away from Ava.However, before he could do that, Ava removed Dane's hands away from her cheeks and slapped Dane.Both Dane and Ian were stunned by Ava's action.Dane was too shocked to react. He had been the head Alpha for so long that he had forgotten when the last time anyone scolded him was, so getting a slap from someone was far from his thoughts."How
Ian grabbed her arm, causing her to turn around and face him. "I am not leaving."Ava shook her head as desperation was clearly visible on her face. "Why can't you understand? I can't go with you. This is where I belong. This is my pack. I—"Ian cut her off as he asked, "So you have problems with it? Then if you want, I can take over the pack for you."Her eyes widened upon hearing him. If he had said that four years ago, she would have thought he was delusional. But he was now the Alpha Ian, the man who had already won a war and taken over one of the biggest packs under his name.His words reminded her of his and Dane's conversation. Ian went to war for her years ago."Why did you take over that pack?" she asked in a low tone."Which pack? Red Moon? I was looking for you and could not find you anywhere. I heard that the pack's head Alpha was not running the pack well. He was taking mistresses for himself. His target was the young girls who had left their families and sought refuge th
Ava was talking with Griffin about tomorrow. He inquired as to whether he could come to get her. But she declined and said that she would go there herself.She was not as excited as how she thought she would be a few months ago.Life really changed people and their situations."Then see you tomorrow," Griffing said before hanging up the phone.Ava put down her phone on the bed and left the bedroom.In the living room, she discovered that everyone except Ian was engaged in a conversation about something; however, once they became aware of her presence, they ceased their conversation.Ian was not there; he was in his bedroom.While Ava was making her way to the table to get a glass of water, she inquired,"What is the reason that you all stop talking? Is there a secret?"Abigail cast a quick glance in the direction of Debra and Stephen. They gave a slight nod as if they were in agreement that they would not say anything.On the other hand, Ronald was the one who broke the silence and ra
It was the night of Dane's birthday celebration.Ava was surprised to see her parents. Together with Ian's parents, they arrived at the pack in the evening that day. Ava hugged her mother and said,"I can't believe you came to this pack, Mom."Angela smiled and responded, "Alpha Dane summoned me and your dad, saying that we are important guests." Angela was referring to his invitation.Gamma Harper nodded his head and said, "He is ready to become our son-in-law."At the moment that Ava heard her parents, she experienced a discomfort in her chest. From the beginning, she had a strong desire for them to acknowledge Dane as her life partner in their hearts. But today, she was not feeling good to hear that.Her eyes briefly shifted to Ian's parents. Martin Dawson and Carolina Dawson were talking to Ian and his friends. The fact that they had been holding such a powerful status for so many years was the reason why they were invited to the celebration.On the other hand, they were the paren
When the music stopped, they stopped dancing. Dane took Ava with him and introduced her to other people.They came to a stop in front of Ava and Ian's parents. They talked for a while.Ava noticed that Carolina was glancing at her with an upset look. Ava could not understand her look. She only smiled at her. Meanwhile, Angela, her mother, looked happy to see Dane's gentlemanly treatment of Ava.What would a mother prefer over this?While standing with them, Ava's eyes moved around the hall. Her eyes paused when they met a pair of dark eyes.Ian was present at the party. He was staring at her. He did not seem pleased with anything there.Ava looked away from him, thinking,'You should not have come here, Ian.'Ava noticed her friends waving to her as they entered the hall."You invited my friends too?" Ava asked Dane with a calm tone."Of course," Dane replied, glancing at her friends.Her friends also looked unpleasant after seeing her with Dane. She let out a sigh and turned to look
Ian turned to the woman and glared at her. "I don't care about your thoughts and predictions. Save one? Why would she need to save anyone? It is not going to be a conflict in which she has to pick between two options. It is all about her heart. Without a doubt, she will pick me out of everyone else. That's my trust in her."Kaily stared at him without any reply. Her forehead was covered in wrinkles. Despite being sixty years old, her beauty did not diminish in the slightest.Ian made his way back to the bar, but in the middle of the way, Ava's friends approached him."Alpha, where is Ava? We can't find her here." Debra said, looking around.Ian glanced in the direction where Dane had taken Ava a while ago.'She still hasn't returned?' he thought.His blood boiled as he considered what Dane was doing with her. He had absolutely no trust in the man.He turned and began to walk in that direction. His gaze fell on Freya, who was drinking like a madwoman. Her eyes met his as she raised a g
Upon hearing that, everyone was taken aback.Dane's eyes grew darker when he heard that. His gaze darted around the hall, looking for a specific person, but he was surprised when he could not find him."Griffin? Where is Griffin?" He yelled in anger.Ava was stunned. She turned her head to look for her brother. Surprisingly, he had not come to the party tonight.She hurriedly dialed his number to contact him. But Griffin did not receive her call."Is Brother Griffin in any danger?" she said with fear in her eyes.She recalled how the official wizards had beaten him when he tried to save her last time."We need to go and fight them before they start using their power on us," Beta Bruno said to Dane.Dane growled in anger and left the hall.Ava could see every pack fighter and guard following him. The witches and wizards who had gathered to celebrate Alpha's birthday also accompanied him.Ava realized that the pack was full of witches and wizards, but only a few of them had come to atte
Dane was in disbelief.How can anyone help his rival just for the woman he loves?Was Ian even real? Or a fool in love?"Alpha Ian, your life will be in danger. You are already injured. You should leave–."Loud growls sounded from ahead, and Dane stopped. He turned his head and noticed a group of wolves' shadows in the moonlight approaching from afar.They were coming from the border, which was the border of the Red Moon Pack.Dane was too shocked to react.The roars could be heard from the enemies. They were not prepared for it. They thought they could easily kill Dane and take over the pack since he did not have many fighters with him.Little did they know, their Alpha's deadly rival would come to support him himself.Dane muttered, "They are..."When they saw the wolves running toward the wizards and started to bite them, Ian smirked and said,"From the Red Moon Pack. That pack, which you neglected a few days ago, reminded me that the pack was not close to your pack. Looks like now
Ava and Ian entered the hall where the reunion party was taking place. They could have booked any hall in any grand hotel, but they always chose this campus to relive all their memories.Everyone turned their heads when the Power Gang and their wives walked into the hall.They were blessed to have their Alpha and Luna around them.Ava looked around before approaching a table with others.Dane and Freya were sitting at the table together. Griffin and Bruno were there with their mates.Ava and Ian took seats across from Dane and Freya."You look hot, Ava!" Freya said."Look who's talking! The biggest model of this generation!" Ava said it back.Everyone laughed as they saw them complimenting each other. There was no jealousy between them. Dane and Ian were also speaking very gently. No one could find any arrogance between them either.Ronald held Abigail's hand and asked,"When will we make a pup? Have you seen how Ivan has grown? He needs a brother or sister."Abigail hit her arm and m
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. Do you know what he said to his school teacher? He said he would complain to his Dad and his dad would kil
Upon hearing Ian, Ava's cheeks turned red. Experiencing feelings of shyness, she lowered her head.Ian lifted her chin and kissed her softly. His back was pressed against the door as he was kissing her gently.After breaking the kiss, he looked into hers and said,"The kiss was gentle because I can no longer be gentle with you."After that, he lifted her into his arms.Ava wrapped her arms around his neck, stunned by his unexpected action.He pressed her on the bed and got on top of her. 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. He pushed his tongue into her mouth while running his hand slowly down to her belly.His fing
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. Then the two women left the room.There were two other women standing in the corner of the room, looking at Ava from a distance. They were none other than her best friends Abigail and Debra."Are you nervous?" 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. Since their Alpha was getting married, all of the officials had declared that they woul
Ava took care of Ian for the entire week. Everyone was happy that they got back together.Ian's parents expressed gratitude to her for saving their son. Ava's parents were relieved that she would not have to leave them because she would be with Ian in the future.However, no one talked about the future because Ian was still recovering.Griffin visited the hospital every day to see Ian. He apologized to Ava for his foolishness every day. In retaliation, he came to Ian with a Viola flower, which would help Ian heal faster. Griffin did the same with Dane. He delivered that flower to him as well. He had requested Dane's forgiveness as well as severe punishment.However, Dane stated that he became loyal the moment he put an end to the war.Dane said Griffin could rule the coven. Griffin at first did not agree, but Dane said he did not want to remember the past, so he wanted him to move on.It was late at night when Ava was returning to Ian's cabin in the hospital.She was outside the hospi
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. Stephen and Ronald were both shocked. But when they glanced at Ian and Ava, they immediately cleared their throats and said,"W-We have some work," Ronald said.Stephen nodded and agreed, "Yes, let's go."They left the room, closing the door behind them.Inside the room,The two people were silent.Ian took some time to process what Dane had said. Didn't he hear their conversation at the party? Then why did he say her heart had chosen him?
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
Ian's mother, Carolina, was crying while holding Ian's hand. All the way to the hospital, she begged the moon goddess to save his son. But as soon as he closed his eyes, his body became cold.It was as if she was holding a lifeless body."No! My son can't die."She kept screaming on the way to the hospital. Martin, her husband, continued to hug her and try to calm her down.In reality, Martin was broken on the inside. His eyes were fixed on his son's body.All of his life, he treated his son badly. He never pulled him into a hug and asked him what he wanted.He always referred to him as a bad boy, never questioning why he had become one. He never asked his son what he wanted to be or how he wanted to live his life.Martin felt guilty for not telling his son that he also loved him. The miscommunication between the father and son was never resolved.When they arrived at the pack hospital, Ian's body remained motionless.Ronald and Stephen yelled at the hospital staff to take their frien
Ava was looking at Dane's wolf.She pressed her palm, which had already been cut during the fight. Dane groaned in pain as her blood touched his wound.Ava lifted her hands and ignited fire on them. She touched Dane's wound over his fur with the fire.Ava could not help but feel that she was losing her strength as the healing process took some time to complete.Her eyes were closed as she tried to give her best to heal Dane and remove his poison.When she opened her eyes, they turned black.One hour laterAva was walking back and forth outside a room. Inside the room were Dane and his private physician, who was treating his wounds. She had done what she needed to do. Now the doctor would have to stitch Dane's wound.Beside Ava, Beta Bruno and Freya were standing near the door. Freya was crying. She was concerned that Dane might not make it. She wondered if Ava was really able to remove his poison.The room door opened, and the doctor stepped out.His gaze fell on everyone and he smile
