Ava closed her eyes when she felt the knife touch her throat.However, the boy moved it from her neck and held it near her arm."What about stabbing her arm, huh?"Ava thought she would lose her arm today. She slowly opened her eyes.However, she was taken aback when Ian picked up a beer bottle from the floor and hurled it in her direction.Fearing that it would hit her head, she shook her head. But it never made contact with her body. Rather, it smashed into the boy's head.The boy immediately released her and grabbed his head.Ava turned around to see the boy's body fall to the floor.The boy was groaning in agony, moving his body like a fish pulled out of the water.Everyone turned to look at Ian. Shock swept over Ava.Ian approached the boy with a glare in his eyes.He avoided Ava's gaze and focused solely on the boy.He bent down and snatched the knife from the boy."I warned you not to look at her, but you dared to touch her. I don't like it when someone ignores my warnings."Af
"What? No!"Ava shook her head. She did not want to go with Ian. She was terrified just from seeing his angry look.Ronald let out a sigh as he stared at Ian, waiting for him to say something."Bro, can't you do that?"Ian blew smoke out of his mouth and muttered,"Ask her who brought her here. He will drop her back."Ava gulped when she heard his deep voice. All the confidence that she had raised against him washed away tonight.She could not forget the moment when she saw him stabbing the boy's arm. It pierced her mind.Ronald's lips curled as he smiled."Then I am leaving," he said to Ava.When he glanced at Ian again, his smile turned into a smirk."Bye, bro," he muttered to Ian.Ian gave him a stern look. Ronald turned around and headed to where he had parked his car.Meanwhile, Ava was feeling awkward.She was with Ian Dawson. She took a few deep breaths to keep herself under control.She gazed at Ian.He was still smoking."Smoking is not good for health," she muttered in a low
Ava closed her eyes when she heard him. She did not know what had gotten to her. He possessed a scent that could entice any girl.It felt like an addiction to smell it more and more. Ava's mind might have gone blank there.She was captivated by his closeness, unsure of what she was allowing him to do.She could feel Ian's nose move against hers, indicating that he was about to kiss her.But then he backed away.Almost instantly, she opened her eyes. Her gaze was drawn to his mocking look at her.The mockery on his face caused her blood to boil.She clenched her jaw, realizing he was making fun of her again, and fell into her trap once more.She clenched her fists and said,"What were you trying to show—"Ian interrupted her by tossing the cigarette and moving close to her.She gasped, and he grabbed her hands, pinning them over her head.She glanced behind him and noticed that everyone was preoccupied with themselves and not paying attention to what was going on between them.Ian grab
Ian did not like how Nova interrupted him while he was with Ava.When Ava began to walk away, Ian turned to Nova."Why are you here?" he demanded, staring at her furiously.Nova's eyes trembled as she saw Ian's fierce expression."I-Ian–""And what were you saying? Which restaurant did she go to with Luke? Do you start spying on her?"Nova shook her head. "No way. One of my friends was in the restaurant. She saw her and told me about it."Ian tightened his jaw. Just thinking about Ava going on a date with someone made his mind go crazy."Stay away from her. Don't dare to bully her.""When did I bully her?""Don't tell anyone that she was with me."Ian's eyes went in the direction where Ava was going. Nova grabbed his hand and said,“Ian, you have a wound in your arm. Did you get into a fight?”He yanked his hand away from her. He turned to look at her."I hope you did not forget that we are done. So far, nothing much has happened between us. Then why did you make her feel uncomfortabl
Ava's heart froze at his words. She stared at him. He was so close to her face that she could feel his breath.She assumed he was teasing him because he wanted to make her believe that. He would then make fun of her after she had put her trust in him.Ava looked into his eyes and said,"I prefer to keep my distance from you. We are no longer mates to whom you must be bound. You are now free, Ian Dawson. You can live your life without any stress. No one will make fun of you because an ugly and weak omega is not your mate anymore."The expression on Ian's face changed when he heard her words. He realized Ava was reminding him of what he had said to her before rejecting her.He clenched his jaw because he no longer wanted to play the good boy role in front of her.It was true. He was trying to be a good and calm boy in front of her. He was trying to keep his patience with her. But now, he wanted to show her his true self.It was his fault that he had rejected her. However, he was now reg
Ian chuckled while looking at Ava. She was walking towards her front door. When he noticed her entering her house, he got into his car and drove away. His gaze was fixed on the road as he drove to the pack house. He was not fond of that house. Even though it was his home, he felt suffocated there. The way his father ruled over him there, he did not like such a life. He liked to be free where no one could tell him what to do. After all, he was the boss of his own life. When he arrived at the pack house, he got out of the car. While playing with the car keys on his finger, he entered his house. "Look at your brat!" He heard his father's voice and paused his steps. He turned his head and noticed that his parents were in the living room. He rolled his eyes at them. "Don't you both have any other work besides sitting in the living room? Every night I come back, I see you sitting there." Alpha Martin and Luna Carolina got up from the couch. "Ian, you saw us here bec
Ava walked into the campus and noticed people glancing at her.She rolled her eyes and murmured, "What again?"She tried to ignore the people, but one of the boys approached her and asked,"Ava, are you really with Luke? Is there any chance to reconsider it?"Ava was stunned. A surprised look appeared on her face, as she did not know how this boy had heard about her and Luke."What do you mean?" she asked, giving him a confused look.The boy handed him his phone and showed him a video.She watched the video where Luke had proposed to her. It looked like Luke was a little loud at that time. It was because she was about to leave the cafe, and he tried to stop her from leaving."So, is this now the talk of the town?" she inquired, raising her head to face the boy.He scratched the back of his neck and exclaimed,"You have many other choices, you know. They may keep their distance from you because of your brother. Even though we have seen you and Luke together. He was very protective of y
Everyone turned their heads to Ian, who had just entered the cafeteria.They were stunned to learn that Ian had ended his relationship with Nova. She was his first girlfriend. Because he never dated anyone before. One night was always enough for him to get bored with a girl.Nova froze with his deep voice. Her heart began to race out of fear. She recalled his warning from last night. She did not expect to get caught.Ava glanced behind Nova and noticed Ian approaching them.He was getting close in her direction, which reminded her of last night when he leaned close to her in his car.Ian came to a stop next to Nova. His gaze locked on Ava's.Ava could see his eyes were enraged as if he was mad about something. But they were not fierce, like last night when he beat the boys.Ian averted his gaze away from Ava and looked at Nova.Nova's legs were shaking. She gulped and murmured,"Ian...""What's happening here?"Nova turned silent. She did not dare to say anything.Ian's presence in th
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
