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
Stephen looked in Ian's direction. He was indeed staring at Ava. He did not know what was wrong with Ian. Over the past few days, he had started to behave strangely.What stunned him were Ian’s dark eyes. They were calm. He was silent as well.Was it silent before the storm?After diverting his attention away from Ian, he responded to Ava by saying,"Don't worry. I told him to stay away from you."Ava sighed with relief. She did not want to see Ian. Talking with him was like asking for her own humiliation."Let us have a conversation about it with our parents directly and see what outcome they come up with," Ava told Stephen to change the topic."Sure. What about the day after tomorrow? Let's have a family dinner," Stephen said with excitement."Family dinner?" Ava mumbled while looking at the floor.The experience of having a family was completely foreign to her. She only had her mother, whom she called her family. She was unable to have the opportunity to spend the rest of her life
Ava gulped as she looked into Ian's furious eyes."What are you doing here?" she asked him.She did not want to see him. And here he was! Why did he come to the room where she was? Could he not use another room?"Same question to you. What are you doing here?" He asked and got to his feet.At the sight of him coming closer, Ava blinked her eyes. She turned to the door and thought to leave the room immediately.So she rushed to the door, but before she could even touch the doorknob, a hand grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the door.The fact that she attempted to leave the room was the straw that broke the camel's back for Ian."Where are you running, nerdy?" His voice came out with mockery.Ava was startled by his sudden action. Her thoughts went back to how he had treated her in the storage room.Would he lock her here too?"L-Leave me.""Why are you stuttering, nerdy? You didn't stutter yesterday when you were going with Steph."Ava recalled that she had a chilly tone of voi
Ava was frightened by his actions. While bending down to her, Ian placed his knee on the bed.He grabbed her throat, causing her to tremble inside."W-What are you doing?" she asked.As he looked at her terrified face, he scoffed. He moved his gaze away from her face and toward her body."Do you think I will do something to you? "He paused and motioned his hand to her body before continuing,"This body can not seduce me."In the blink of her eyes, all the fear from her washed away. Her heart was filled with anguish as a result of his words.Tears streamed out of her eyes. She could feel her body becoming numb. She could only feel his grip on her neck, which was not that firm.But his words were enough to stab her heart.Fate was playing a very tough game with her. It made a playboy her mate, who did not think for a day and rejected her. Then, when she tried to move on, he came to her and talked about how ugly she and her body were."It's not my fault. It's not my fault," she mumbled r
"Ava, are you okay?" Abigail asked as she rubbed Ava's shoulder.Since the moment Ava descended from the upper floor, she had been crying. Her friends were confused about her behavior.Luke asked if anyone had said anything to her, and Ava simply shook her head in response.Ava did not want to stay at the party anymore. She asked Abigail to send her home."Let's go. I will tell my driver to drop you home first then I will go to my house," Abigail said."I am coming with you," Debra told Abigail.Luke looked at Ava and said, "Then I am driving behind your cars."Ava wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. She looked at Luke and Debra, then said,"I am not feeling well. I will go get some sleep. So you do not have to worry about me."She tried not to tell them anything, and she assured them that she was fine.She got in Abigail's car and leaned her back against the seat, then closed her eyes.Abigail sat next to her and told her driver about going to Ava's house."What happened to
Ava felt really sick. The last two days were like hell for her.The scratches on her back were causing her pain. She did not know where to go and asked for help. In fact, the Epsilon Wolf had told him that no one could help her.She could only wait to get her wolf to come back to her fully.She was missing her wolf. She was missing shifting in her wolf form in the forest. She was missing her old life.She did not go to the university in the last two days. Her friends asked her about her health. She told them that she was a little sick, and that was why she could not go.Though she told everything to Debra the next day of the party, she took their promise not to talk about it to anyone, especially Luke.Ava knew that Luke cared for her, and like last time, he might go to Ian to fight for her once more. She did not want that incident to repeat again.Today Ava got a call from Stephen; he asked her and her mother to have dinner with him and his father. It was the plan they made at the pa
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
