"It must be a date! Oh, how foolish you are! Yes, it's obviously a date, Ava," Debra said to Ava.

Abigail nodded her head in agreement.

After attending their classes, the three friends were walking on campus.

"I am not a fool. I also thought the same. But he was casual and said that he just wanted to talk to me, so..."

Ava paused, mumbling, as she reflected on what Luke had said to her.

He said he wanted to take her to a coffee shop. He had something in his mind that he wanted to discuss. They were such good friends that she did not take it that way.

"Trust me. Luke likes you. I have seen it in his eyes," Abigail said.

"Me too," Debra added.

Ava was stunned. She had never seen Luke that way before. He was her friend—a very good friend. She had never thought of him more than that.

"I-I..."

Ava's lips halted as she glanced at Ian, who was walking out of a building where the head office was. The dean may have summoned him for what he did to the boy this morning.

    Ava rolled her eyes and walked up to Luke. She heard Stephen reply to Ian,"He is Ava's friend. So, he is here for her."Luke cast a quick glance at Stephen and his friends. His eyes stopped on Ian."Luke, hi," Ava said with a smile.Luke turned his gaze away from Ian and toward Ava. He appeared to be amazed by Ava's appearance."Hi, you are ready to go out. Why don't we actually go out?"Ava could see that he was hesitant to enter the house. He was not on good terms with Stephen, either.Ava frowned as she grabbed his arm and said,"That is what I thought, too. But then I changed my mind. Why not let me show you around? I have a small library there. We can enjoy our coffee while sitting there."With a gesture, she indicated upstairs. Luke turned his head to look upstairs.Indeed, there was a beautiful small library set up. Two single couches with a small table were there for the people who wanted to enjoy reading books. There were small tree plants, which created a vibrant environmen

    Ava rose up from the couch. Luke looked up at her."Let's go upstairs."After giving her a slight nod, he got up from the couch. Even though he was eager to respond to Ian, he was concerned that Ava was not feeling well around him.While Luke was making his way toward the staircase, he asked,“You will have to see his face if he comes here often?"Ava simply shrugged her shoulders. "I don't care. He is invisible to me."Ava took Luke to the library, which was located on the upper floor. They sat on the couches in a relaxed manner after Luke had grabbed some books."Wow. ‘Tales from the Past of Mystic Falls’. You have this book!" Luke said it with an amazed tone.She grinned at him. "Yeah, Dad organized all of the book collections for me."Luke turned his head to look at her and asked, "Ava, how is your life going here? Is everyone treating you well?"Ava thought about the love Gamma Harper and Stephen were giving her."I am very happy, Luke. I am living my life to the fullest. It's ju

    Her lips were trembling as her heart started to beat faster. She stared at the person who she had fallen for before even knowing that he was her mate. Though she believed that she had lost her feelings for him after the rejection, she realized that something was still there to fade away.She let out a whisper."W-What?"Ian remained silent for a while as he observed her reaction.But then he backed away and burst out laughing.Ava was caught off guard by his laugh.She realized how foolish she was to believe this boy, even for a moment."Just look at your face! You really think I want you, don't you?"Ian said this and chuckled, shaking his head.She tightened her fists as she felt like crying. But she did not cry. Instead of showing her tears, she showed him her anger."A boy like you can never be with one girl. So keep laughing at your own joke."Ian stopped laughing and looked at her with cold eyes.She tried to walk past him, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.

    Inside the car, there was a silence that yearned to be broken. But by looking at Ava's face, Luke thought he should keep driving without asking her anything.After a long drive, he pulled over the car to a coffee shop.Ava opened the door without saying anything and got out of the car.Luke stepped down from the car and followed Ava inside the coffee shop.He had been observing her sullen mood for a while. When they were in her house, he was waiting for her to have a conversation. But when she returned, she was empty-handed and asked him to go to the coffee shop he had previously decided on.From then on, she remained silent and looked angry.Luke pulled out a chair for her. She looked at him. There was a sudden amazement in her eyes. But then it immediately faded."Thank you," Ava said and sat down on the chair.Luke took a seat across from her and asked,"Ava, what's wrong? You look mad. Have I done anything wrong?"Ava shook her head and replied almost immediately,"No, no. Did I m

    Ava froze in her tracks. She was aware of his feelings, as Abigail and Debra had already told her today. However, she had no idea how awkward things would become for her. She bit her bottom lip because she did not know what to say. Luke took her hand and said, "Let's go." He led her out of the shop and looked at her. "I understand it might be awkward for you. You–" "I knew about it," Ava interrupted him. "You knew?" Luke said with a broad grin. Ava glanced at him and mumbled, "Abigail and Debra told me about it." He paused as his smile faded. "So you did not notice it from your side?" Ava parted her lips, but nothing came out. She did not feel anything inside, indicating that she did not like him more than just a friend. "Ava, I know you don't have any feelings for me. But give me a chance. I promise we will end up together. I don't want to end our friendship. You can take your time, and when you feel it is okay to go for a relationship, you can tell me." Ava

    She turned around and saw Ian leaning on his car. She had not noticed him or his car when she got out of Luke's car a few minutes ago. She tried to ignore him and started to walk again. However, he grabbed her arm and stopped her. "How can you just ignore me like that?" His tone was angry as if he were furious. She tightened her fist and turned to face him. She yanked her hand away from his grip and asked, "What is your problem?" Ian looked at her ignorant look. She seemed annoyed to see him again. He felt a pang in his heart as though her attitude was hurting him from the inside. Ian had been standing outside Ava's house waiting for her for quite some time. He left after speaking with Stephen, but he could not go to the pack house. He went somewhere else. There was something killing him inside. So, when he asked Ronald, he said Stephen and the others were not at Stephen's home. He mentioned that Stephen's parents had also left the house for dinner. So Ian was wor

    "Are you crazy? What are you saying?" Ian asked as his frown deepened.Ava rolled her eyes. "Look, I don't want to go anywhere with yo–"While she was speaking, Ian interrupted her by saying, "But you are still sitting in my car.""The reason for this is that I am concerned about my brother.""I have already told you. There is no reason for you to be concerned about him. I am heading over to check on him and make sure everything is alright. So go back to your house."Upon hearing Ian, Ava experienced a sense of uncertainty regarding him. Why was he so hesitant to bring her along? Her brother might be in big trouble.It was her responsibility to find out what happened to Stephen because she had already accepted him as her brother.Ava gazed at the windshield while folding her arms against her chest and muttering,"Don’t bother. Just start the car because I am not getting out."Ian held her gaze for a few seconds before starting his car and driving away from her house.When Ian was busy

    Fear began to grow inside her. She bit her bottom lip as her legs became heavy with fear. The way those boys looked at her was something she had never experienced before. It was like she was some kind of food they wanted to have. She ignored the boys' voices as she looked left and right. She noticed many sports cars parked along the side, indicating that everyone was wealthy there. They came here with their friend circle to have fun with girls or have drinks. She could see them holding red cups, creating their own road club on the street. There were large speakers on one side. Music was playing, not as loud as in clubs, but enough to be heard throughout the alley. She noticed another alley that connected with this one. "Stephen must be there!" As she was about to turn left, she ran into someone. Something cold dripped onto her white top. She hissed as the icy liquid touched her breasts inside the top. She lowered her head and saw that her top was so thin that it exposed h

    Ian's words caught Ava off guard. The wizards that were holding her hand laughed."You were well-known in our coven. They always said you had something in you that no other Alpha possessed. What about revealing that side of yourself to us?"Ian ignored his words as he stared at Ava. He lifted his hands to feel the circle. But the more he tried to touch the air, the more pain surged through his body.He did not want to feel defeated. In front of him was the love of his life. He had lost her once; he could not lose her again.He clenched his jaw, feeling rage for not being able to do what he wanted.The man Ian had let go a while ago grabbed the wooden stick they had brought to scare the young kid. He then charged toward Ian.Ian was so focused on saving Ava that he did not notice what the man was doing.Ava's eyes shifted to the man. Her eyes widened when the man approached Ian from behind."IAN, WATCH OUT!"She screamed, but it was too late. Because the man had already hit Ian's back

    Except for Ava, who was unable to move, everyone turned their heads.When they saw the dark silhouette approaching them, their eyes frowned.Their eyes widened at the sight of the red eyes coming closer. It was as if they saw a power in those eyes, causing them to shake inside in fear.The man came to stand a few feet away behind Ava and muttered,"Bloody wizards…"Ava's eyes moved as she heard the deep voice. She did not need any time to recognize the voice. His voice formed a hope in her heart to finally get aid in this situation.She still had not turned. Her gaze shifted to her brother.Griffin was taken aback as his gaze fell on the person standing behind Ava. He murmured in confusion,"A-Alpha Ian?"All the wizards around them got alerted as their body was tensed.Ian's eyes shifted to the man who was wrapping his hands around Ava's waist. The man looked frozen. Ian's eyes moved down to the man's hand, and immediately he let out a low growl."How dare you touch her?"The man tre

    Griffin suggested that they go to a club and have a drink. Ava agreed since she also needed to clear her mind.There was a club near the company, but Ava did not want to go because she might run into some of the employees. So they decided to go to a club that was quite far away."Isn't it the north side of the city?" Ava asked when she heard Griffin's suggested club."Yeah, but only wizards and witches go there. That can be our safe place."Ava turned to Griffin, who was sitting next to her in his car. "You almost forget you are a hybrid."Griffin grinned at her and nodded his head. "You are right. I shift a few nights a month. I enjoy my magic more."Ava patted her hand on his shoulder. "You should shift more because who knows when we will need your wolf to take over?"Being a hybrid did not mean only having two kinds combined. Their wolves were also very powerful."Okay, I will shift often."Ava and Griffin went to the nightclub. They got to know new people. Griffin introduced her t

    Ava gave them a puzzled look. "Who?"Debra pushed Abigail and walked over to Ava and said, "Don't listen to her. She is just pulling my leg for nothing. Such a bad friend!"Suddenly Ava recalled the interaction between Stephen and Debra. She wondered if Abigail was talking about him.However, she dismissed the thought because she knew her brother would never chase any girl like that. After all, he was one of the members of the Power Gang. Those boys did not chase women; women pursued them.She was about to ask who it was again, but she stopped by a ringtone. She saw who had called her.She received the call and spoke, "Beta Bruno."Debra turned her head to Abigail, making faces at her. Abigail glared at Debra, indicating not to tease her.Ava smiled when she noticed her friends' silent bickering."Freya is coming back to the pack today. So I am not going to come to the company. Tell Alpha I would spend some time with her."Hearing about Freya, Ava felt awkward. She recalled the day wh

    Ava left the office in the evening. She had nothing in her mind. She only wanted to go home and sleep. She had worked all day and eaten little. Dane's words kept replaying in her head every time she thought about her future.It looked like fate had never decided happiness in her life. All it wrote for her was suffering mentally.She was depressed and alone in this pack.On her way, Griffin called her, asking her to meet him. She refused by saying that she was tired. She said she would meet him tomorrow evening.The sky was slowly getting dark. The orange shadow in the sky faded into the darkness.Ava paid the cabbie and walked toward her house.It was a house with three bedrooms. Dane suggested this house, so she never considered moving out, even though it was too large for one person.She took out the keys and was about to open the door when she heard the sound of another car from behind.She turned around and was stunned.The car stopped near her house, and two people were getting o

    ONE WEEK LATERAva awoke to the sound of a loud alarm. She opened her eyes and did not consider sleeping for a few minutes longer. She sat up slowly, grabbing the phone and stopping the alarm, which would continue to snooze if she did not turn it off.She glanced outside the window. It was early in the morning.Another day arrived, and she had to pass it. She believed she would have to cooperate with her fate without questioning it much.She left the Mystic Shadow Pack one week ago. She did not tell her mate before leaving. That was why her wolf was really upset with her, refusing to shift again.Ava was in real trouble. Her wolf's resistance was really hurting her, making her weak.All week, she could only practice her powers as a witch, but she could not shift and run.The last time she had shifted was when she met Ian and realized that he had become her mate.Ava's phone rang in her hand, drawing her attention away from the window.She received the phone call while getting out of t

    "Ava, why did you decide to leave now?" Ava's mother, Angela, said with tears in her eyes.When she and Harper returned home, Ava said she was leaving tonight. She was shocked to hear that, as well as Harper."Mom, Dad, I told you that I would be here for my birthday. My birthday had passed, but I remained here for the competition. Since everything is over now, it's time for me to return to where I belong."Her voice was calm, just like her face. There was no emotion in her eyes that could show her inner feelings.Angela wondered if anything had happened to her daughter. She had spent her entire life protecting her daughter from the Thunder Howl Pack, convinced that Alpha Dane would force her into a relationship. However, after learning that Ian had rejected her daughter as her mate and that Dane treated her gently, Angela realized Dane was the ideal match for her. Ava and Dane were fated, and her ex-husband's decision was not wrong when he promised to marry Ava off to Dane."If you n

    Dane's eyes darkened as soon as he heard Ava.Ava observed those eyes and scoffed at him. "What happened? Lost all the colors from your face?"He clenched his jaw and grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him."You can't be with him."Ava looked into his eyes, noting his fury. "What's wrong? Why didn't you think about it when you spent the night with your mate?"Dane tried to compose himself, losing his grip on her arm. “Look, Ava. I never slept with her after we broke up. She tried a few times to seduce me when she was drunk. I always ignored my wolf and the desire to be close to her. But I lost myself in front of my wolf last night.”He let go of her arm and cupped her cheeks. She looked away from his face. Not wanting him to touch her, she attempted to push him once more.Her eyes landed on the hickeys Freya had purposefully left visible in his chest.If Dane had said that everything Freya said was a lie, she would have ignored it. But he himself admitted everything.Now what woul

    Ava was in a really bad mood because she thought last night she almost cheated on Dane. She should have managed to stop Ian from kissing her or getting close to her.So today, in the early morning, she left her house only to confess what had happened and apologize to him.However, as soon as she saw Freya, she was shocked. Her shock turned into the endpoint when she heard Freya's words."Your m-mate? What are you saying?" Ava asked Freya with a confused look.Freya gave her a poker face. "Don't tell me you don't know that Dane and I are mates."Ava felt the ground slipping beneath her feet. She could not just believe it.Freya and Dane were mates?How come she did not know about it?Freya noticed her expression and scoffed at her. "Why do you think my brother despises you so much? Because you snatched his sister's mate away from her. You destroyed my life, Ava. I was so happy with him. But you entered our life and ruined everything."Ava blinked as she did not know what to feel. When
