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.

    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

    Ava turned her head to look at her brother. Stephen was quiet. His friends looked stunned by his reaction.The three of his friends stood up from the couches they had just sat on and asked,"Are you for real?" Paul asked with disbelief."Stephen, you have changed after getting a family. We understand how eager you were to have one. But you are pushing your old friends," Cyrus uttered.Ronald cast a glance at Ava, who was standing at the stairs. He turned his attention back to Stephen and said,"It looks like you are too protective about your sister. But you forgot who had been protecting you all along. He is Ian Dawson, our friend who has never abandoned us and has always protected us, even when we were lost."Stephen lowered his head after hearing Ronald. He was right. Ian was the one who rescued them whenever they were in danger. Their lifestyles were part of his decision. If today they could live so carelessly and with some power, it was all because of Ian.When Ava noticed her bro

    "Party? But last night..."Ronald paused, as he spoke on the phone with Stephen. But his gaze was drawn to Ian, who was sitting on his bike. While looking at the glass door of a tattoo shop, Ian was smoking a cigarette."Ronald, you know I was mad at him. But then Ava–""Again Ava? What's wrong with you, Steph? Are you still thinking about her? She looks happy with her boyfriend, Luke. What about Ian? Can't you see his situation?"Stephen was silent. As his gaze remained fixed on Ian, Ronald exhaled deeply and let out a long breath. He could not see his best friend in this state.Over the past few days, Ian had stopped using his father's belongings, which included his father's money and vehicles. He started smoking more than he had before and stopped talking to everyone. Because he was broke, he wanted to drink but could not do it. On the other hand, he was the kind of person who would never ask his friends for financial assistance.Roland used to believe that making Ian realize his f

    "So you are going to his birthday party?" Luke inquired, his gaze fixed on Ava. They were sitting on a bench near the basketball court. Since the basketball final match was the day after tomorrow, Luke was practicing hard."Yeah," Ava replied, sipping the apple juice that she had just bought from the cafeteria before coming to the basketball court.Luke wiped his sweat with a white towel after turning away from Ava.Ava noticed that Luke was not pleased after hearing that, so she tried to ease his mind by explaining,“Luke, I understand your thoughts, but as I previously stated, there is a beef between Stephen and Ian. If I do not attend the party and enjoy myself with you, Abi, and Debra, Stephen might believe that I have not moved on, which is not true. I have moved on, right?”Luke turned his head to face her and asked,"Have you really moved on, Ava?"Ava was taken aback by his question. She got up from the bench and said,"Why did you ask that? You know what I want; I have tried

    Ian was at his home. He did not attend university today because his friends had planned to go somewhere together.Sitting on the floor, resting on the edge of the bed, he threw the ball to the wall, which returned to him the next moment. He wore a sleeveless black t-shirt. Whenever he moved his hand, his muscles moved with it."Ian, you—"His mother, Carolina Dawson, paused at the door.She noticed her son was focused on the ball. Though his sharp eyes were on the ball, he looked into some other thoughts.She stepped into the room and walked toward the bed with slow steps. She sat down on the edge of the bed, where he was leaning back."Ian."Ian grabbed the ball tightly when he heard his mother. He turned his head to look at his mother."Mom."Carolina stared at her son. Ian had become more calm over the last few days. Her son was not like that. Though she and Alpha Martin always tried to discipline him, it did not mean she expected him to lose himself.He did not change himself but

    A car came to a stop in front of a big house. Three girls stepped out of the car.The three of them looked hot and attractive. Others around the car looked at them with surprise."Look how they are looking at us!" Debra said to Abigail and Ava.Ava cast a glance at the others. She could see boys who were about to enter the house eyeing her from afar. Meanwhile, the girls gave her cold looks.She lowered her head to look at her dress. Her upper body was covered fully by the black dress, but it was perfectly fitting with her body. It ended up in her mid-thighs. Since it was a fitted dress, she felt that it was too short. Half of her thighs were visible. She was not fond of revealing dresses."I swear! Ava looks bang-on. Boys are going to dream of her after tonight," Abigail said.Ava glanced at her and let out a chuckle. "I know you are trying to cheer me up.""No way. She is so right. Look at you. With this look and appearance, you can kill any boy, and they will be ready to let you do

    Ian spent the entire day riding the bike with their friends. He did not bother his father about getting his bike back. Paul had an old bike that he gave Ian.When Ian considered returning to the pack house, Ronald offered him and the others a ride to his nearby farmhouse.Ian did not think much, and he agreed with him.But when he arrived at the house and walked inside, he was surprised.His friends planned a party for him. The beginning hour of his birthday was still a few hours away. They told him to enjoy the night and then cut the cake in the middle of the night that they had prepared for him.At that moment, Ian's gaze landed on the hottest girl in the party. For him, it was none other than Ava.However, for some reason, he felt she was more beautiful than hot.Her dress covered her upper body, leaving her legs exposed. They looked fair and smooth. Her thighs brushed against one another as she moved closer to the bar.Ian swallowed as he nearly lost control of his mind. He was ha

    The group of people that the girl chose and gathered there agreed to play the game. They chose an empty hall room to play the game.Ava did not want to play the game, but Luke persuaded her. He said he wanted to enjoy the party with her. How could Ava forget that Luke was a party freak?Abigail and Debra were thrilled because there were no dares and none of their friends would have to bear any consequences.As Stephen and his friends got up from the couches to move on, Ava did her best to ignore Ian.However, when he walked past her, his arm brushed against hers, causing her to jerk inside.Luke grabbed her hand and asked,"Are you alright?""Y-Yeah."Luke noticed her changing behavior, but he did not say anything to her.After trailing Ronald, they walked into a room filled with couches.But everyone chose to sit on the floor.Everyone sat on the floor and placed a bottle in the center.Ava noticed her friends patting a place for her to sit.

    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
