Ian’s POV

I had been frustrated since early this morning. Something had happened to my wolf. He was reacting quite differently these days. It began last week when I went to Luke's party.

That night, I kissed a girl who I thought was Lara. But I was wrong. It was not her, but someone else.

During the whole party, Lara tried to seduce me. She even jumped into the pool in her white bikini. She approached me after exiting the pool and told me that she would be waiting for me near the washroom.

So I went there later and grabbed a girl's hand. I mistook her for Lara. She had a different scent. I smelled her scent only as I got closer to her neck. It was so alluring that I could not help but rub my nose against her neck. I had kissed her, despite her attempts to push me away. I could sense that her body desired me.

Later, when I kissed Lara outside while leaning against my car, I did not feel the same. I learned that Lara went to the restroom, which was upstairs. She said she was waiting for

    "I want to go home."I let out a lower tone. My throat was hurting like hell. It was like I screamed a lot today. It became harsh and painful."Don't you think we should tell everything to your mom?" Debra asked as she looked at me carefully."No!" I replied immediately.I did not want to hurt my mother. She had been waiting for my mate more than me. She wanted me to settle into my life with a mate who would protect me.Little did my mother know that my mate would be the one who would humiliate me in front of everyone.If I told her about the rejection, she would break down completely. I could not see tears in her eyes."Why not? She will understand you," Luke said."No, guys. Please, listen to me. She will be heartbroken after learning this. There is no bond between me and Ian now.

Abigail supported me.My friends agreed with me about not

    I turned to my mother with a confused look. What did she mean by saying we were going to the pack house? Why would we go there?"But why, Mom?""What why, Ava? He is our head Alpha. He can call us anytime.""But, Mom. There must be a reason. I've never gone there before," I replied to my mother.Actually, I had no problem with going there. But that was Ian's house. How could I go there? I did not want to see him again.My mother held my hand and said,"Years ago, when I ran away from our old pack, I came here to take shelter. Luna Carolina was very sick at the time. When I went to ask for help from Alpha Martin, I noticed Luna and identified the symptoms of her illness. It was not an easy disease to treat, so I promised them that I would treat her. In return, he promised me to let me and you stay in their pack as their pack members. It took me four years to cure Luna Carolina. We did not stay in contact afterward. However, I ran into Luna Carolina today at the pack hospital. When I re

"Doctor Angela""Ian Dawson," Ian said as he shook hands with her and introduced himself."Ava, stand up," Angela said to Ava in a hushed tone.Ava got to her feet without looking up.

    Ava’s POVI was shocked that Ian agreed to show me around. But it was not something I wanted.I glanced at my mother, who nodded her head as a signal to go with him and Stephen. I heaved a sigh."Okay."Ian and Stephen walked ahead while I followed them behind. I noticed Ian and Stephen returning to their casual moods as we passed through the living hall. They seemed to be masking themselves in front of their parents, but now that they have moved away from them, they are more relaxed.My eyes focused on Ian. I frowned as my wolf howled while looking at him.'Why do you still feel for him? He's no one to us.' I told my wolf, trying to calm her down."By the way, Ava, I heard you just turned eighteen," Stephen asked while walking in front of me, beside Ian.Ian looked uninterested, and I also moved my eyes away from him and shifted them toward Stephen."Last week," I replied in a lower tone.All thanks to my introverted nature, I was not used to chatting with others.I noticed Ian had h

    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.

    Days passed with Ava's hard work on the project. Ava had been working at the new office. There was no time for her to go home early.The relationship between her and Dane was improving, though. 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.

    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
