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 averted her gaze away from Ian and focused on Nova. She could see Nova looking angry at her.But was it her fault?Ava let out a sigh and turned to Abigail."Let's sit already. We have wasted our time enough with these people. We have classes to attend, too."Nova stomped her leg on the ground in rage and left the cafeteria, crying. Her friends left behind her.Ian's eyes were on Ava. He noticed her sitting in the chair with her friend. Her friend was giving her a glance. By seeing how she was giving him a look, it was obvious that her friend did not like him much.Everyone returned back to what they were doing. But they got the biggest breaking news of the year.Ian Dawson was single again. Since he was in a relationship before, it was possible that anyone could get the chance this time.They believed he was just roaming around with Ava since Nova said she had seen him with Ava last night.

    Luke was shocked when he heard Ava. He found out what had happened in the cafeteria through his friends. Ian made it clear to everyone that he had his eyes on Ava.He thought Ava would reject him and tell him that she would go with Ian.But Ava's words surprised him."Ava."Ava gave him a small smile and said,"What you heard about me and Ian, I will clear it up for you. I was with him last night, but it was because Stephen was in danger. I told you before. I no longer have any feelings for him."Luke's face broke into a wide grin. He smiled at her broadly and asked,"Are you sure? Are you sure that you are giving me a chance?"Ava nodded her head with a warm smile. Ian had already broken her heart. She did not want him to break it again. So it was better she gave it to someone else and be loyal to the person.Luke pulled her into a hug. Ava glanced at others who were looking at them. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Luke.“I am very happy, Ava. I promise to always keep

    Stephen tightened his fists in anger. "How dare you even say that?"Ava could not understand why that guy wanted to see her. The way that guy gazed at her with his green eyes, she felt intimidated.Ava noticed that both Luke and Stephen looked angry at the guy. Her brother was angrier.She could still feel that boy’s finger on her forehead, sending shivers down her spine. It was a horrible sensation for her. She had never experienced anything like that.She was nearly shaken inside by what he had done to her."What do you want to talk about?" She asked the boy.The boy's eyes turned sharper as he tilted his head, giving the vibe that he was not afraid of anyone.Ava was able to understand his thoughts. Why would the boy be afraid of anyone if he could give them an electric shock by simply touching their foreheads?Ava's thoughts could not last for long because a voice came from behind her which caused the green-eyed boy to avert his gaze away from her."What's going on here?"Ava look

    The whole car went silent. Ian's words left Ava stunned. Her eyes froze as she gazed out the window.Stephen turned his head to look at Ian."Can you please shut up?"Ian smirked as he observed Ava's side profile. Ronald patted Stephen's shoulder."Why are you putting yourself between them? Your sister is capable of dealing with him."Ava turned her head to look at Ronald. “Would you kindly ask your friend to refrain from speaking with me? I am over him."Ronald glanced at Ava and gave her a cheeky smile. "Do you believe anyone has any control over him? Even his parents struggled to keep him under control. Who are we to have the power to do that?"After saying that, Ronald burst out laughing.The three people in the car looked at Ronald with serious expressions.Ronald realized that and cleared his throat. "Oh, wasn't that funny?""No, not at all," Ava replied.The car began to move as Stephen refocused his attention on the road and began driving.The ride was silent.Ava did not move

    Ian's confession left Ava frozen. The touch of his lips lingered on her cheek, giving her the electrifying feeling that she wanted to feel when she was close to Luke.Ian's words did not only echo throughout the car but also in her mind. It kept replaying in her heart.Ian backed away and looked at her. A grin appeared on his face as he caressed her chin with his fingertips."I know I–"Ava pushed his hand hard, which shocked Ian.Ava's frozen expression transformed into rage. She glared at Ian and said,“Like me? As to how? Insulting me and attempting to force me into being with you against my will? For what? With the intention of playing with me like other girls and then breaking up with me like you did with Nova, is that what you want to do?”Ian's brows lifted. Although he appeared to be trying to calm his anger in front of her, he grabbed the front seat with his fingers and held it tightly.“I have already explained why I broke up with Nova. Just because of you."Ava scoffed at 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
