Third POV

"First tell us what you were doing in the library," Ronald said to Ian.

Ian turned his head in the direction of him. Ronald looked at him with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, I have never seen you go to the library before," Paul said as he agreed with Ronald.

"Are you starting to get interested in books?" Cyrus said with a chuckle.

Ava, on the other hand, felt awkward in the conversation with the boys. She did not know them much. She thought about leaving. But before she could say anything to Stephen, she heard a female voice.

“Ian?”

When Ava turned around, she saw Nova approaching them from the opposite direction. She noticed that Nova's gaze was drawn to her. A frown appeared on Nova's face. Afterwards, she looked over to Ian.

“You are here! I was looking for you on the whole campus,” she said as she approached Ian and embraced him.

Ava averted her gaze from them.

Meanwhile, Ian rolled his eyes when Nova hugged him.

"Why were you looking for me?" he asked Nova.

Ava was stunned

    After talking with her parents, Ava went back to her friends."Happy?" Luke asked Ava.She nodded at him. She glanced at her mother. She looked really happy with Gamma Harper.'Dad, I fulfilled my promise today,' Ava said in her mind.Her father's face came to her mind. Tears formed in her eyes as his death was reflected in her eyes."I'm coming in a few minutes," she said to her friends. They gave her a nod.Ava walked for a while as she tried to find an open space to get some fresh air.

    Ian, did you just see?" Nova asked as she turned her attention to Ian after Ava had left.Ian puffed on the smoke and asked, "What?""Didn't you see how she was talking? She used to be a shy and ugly girl. After becoming the Gamma's daughter, she... she has become pre–""Pretty?"Hearing Ian, Nova's eyes widened. She frowned and shook her head."What? No! She has become pretentious."Under the moonlight, Ian's face was clearly visible. He looked at Nova, but his eyes were fierce."I-Ian..""Stop bothering her. She is not ugly but only pretends to be one."Nova gasped at his words. Ian indirectly meant that Ava was beautiful in his eyes."Why are you saying this? Do you remember how you insulted her at the whole university? She is an ugly nerd and will always be."Ian grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. She was scared by his sudden action. She glanced at the cigarette that he was holding between his fingers. That was close to her arm."Stop making me remember the things that I want

    Abigail and Debra were both observing everyone. So when Carolina asked the question to Ava, Debra replied to her."Yes, yes. They are really close."Ian's friends cast glances at Ian, who appeared to have lost his appetite.Ronald chuckled and said,"Yeah. They even changed the dress code."Abigail took the opportunity and explained,“As we can see, they are matching today. In fact, Ava herself gave this suit to Luke as a present for this wedding.”Ava was surprised as they were thinking about it so far. Though both of their dresses’ color was the same, she did not mean to match with Luke. It was just a coincidence.So Ava tried to say something."No, it's not–"Luke cut her off and said to Luna Carolina,"She is a soft-hearted girl. That’s why she gave me a present."Alpha Martin laughed when he heard Luke.“I like you, young man. What is the name of your father?”Luke cleared his throat and replied,"Alpha Limon."Alpha Martin and his officials, including Harper, raised their brows.

    When Ava opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.She sat up and rubbed her eyes.She looked around and realized that it was her new bedroom. She had shifted to her new home last night.While yawning, she walked to the window. She stood there for a while and enjoyed the sunlight falling over her face.Just as she stretched her arms, she whimpered in pain.She rubbed her upper back with the back of her hand and strode to the dressing table. She turned her back to the mirror and rolled up her top to see her back.She shut her eyes when she found the scars like tree branches. She felt pain in her back again.She bit her bottom lip and let out a shaky breath."When will I get rid of this?"No matter how much she wanted to forget about the rejection, the pain and these scars, they would never let her do so.She tried to ignore her pain and went to the bathroom to take a shower.She looked around the bathroom, and a small smile reached her lips.She stepped into the bathtub

    She rolled her eyes and got in the car. He sat in the driver's seat.Before starting the car, he handed her a box."What is it?" she asked."It's for you. Open it."When she opened the box, she saw sunglasses."I thought you would wear your big nerdy glasses again, so I bought them for you."Ava put on the sunglasses and turned to him. "How am I looking?""Boss lady. What about joining my gang?"Ava coughed a little. "Sorry, bro. I don't like your leader," she replied sarcastically.Stephen gave her a nod and started the car."I'm sorry, Ava, for what Ian did."Stephen could only say sorry to his sister.

    Freya walked toward Ian and held his arm.

I will speak with the sponsors directly.”Freya knew she was not the reason why Ian was here. He came here because of Ava.

    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.

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.

    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

    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
