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. Ava lowered her dress and sat down, foldin
Ava seemed to be taken aback. The way he asked the question with the anger in his face surprised everyone."Dang! You can't ask two questions," a boy said to Ian.Ian turned his head to the boy with cold eyes, which caused the boy to tremble in fear.Ava spoke out,"It's none of your business."Everyone let out gasps. They could not believe she had responded so boldly to Ian.Ian was digging his gaze at Ava. His mind was fogged by what his mother had said to him today.That was the reason why he had asked her the question.But when he saw her looking at Luke after hearing his question, his blood started to boil.It looked like the person was Luke. She was in love with Luke. Ian could not take it.“Excuse me. I am going for a drink. I can't play anymore,” Ava said, getting on her feet.Luke raised his head to look at her. “I am coming with you.”Ava nodded her head in response.“Okay.”Her one reply blazed fire in Ian's chest. He clenched his jaw while staring at Ava. Luke looked at hi
Moving away from the lounge area, Ian headed to the bar. Girls came close to him, trying to linger on his body.He pushed them aside and walked towards Ava.When he approached Ava, she was stunned. He grabbed her wrist, prompting her to rise from the stool she had just sat on."What are you doi—"He interrupted her by dragging her to the other side."Ian? What's wrong with you?" She said, struggling to break free.Ian's grip tightened, and he led her down a hall.Ava, on the other hand, was shocked. She had no idea where Ian would take her.There was some time left before the clock struck 12 a.m. Ava was not in the mood to celebrate Ian's birthday, so a few minutes ago she told Luke that she should leave. Luke had agreed and said to her that he would also leave. But a few boys had suddenly approached Luke, and he told her that they needed to speak with him.From then on, Ava was feeling lonely at the party. She did not want to bother Abigail or Debra. They were so kind that they left
Ava froze on the spot when she heard him. With a shake of her head, she turned around. "No, no. You can't see the wounds."He furrowed his brows and asked,"Why? Is that in your lower back? Is this why you are feeling shy?"Ava did not know if this boy understood what he was saying. She pushed him slightly and wiped away her tears.She shook her head and replied,"Look, I know you are drunk. But I think you should go back to the party. My wounds don't have to do anything to you."Saying that, she attempted to move, but he placed both of his hands beside her head.As he gazed into her eyes, it appeared as though he was trying to see something within them. She could not understand what. But there was no way she would let him do what he wanted."Am I too bad that you are running away from me?"She paused by his question and asked,"W-What?"Was he too bad? The answer was yes. He was too dangerous for her and her life. He was the one who started the pain. She had no desire to interact wit
"Ian, just let me go. I am begging you," Ava said, as she did not want to explain anything. There was a pain in her voice.His grip loosened around her hands. She immediately turned around and pressed her back against the wall to hide it.Ian took a step back as if he were confused. He could not believe what he had just seen. Her back was full of wounds like tree branches. They looked red on the skin, giving the impression that she had just gotten the wounds."Y-Your back..."Ava was surprised to hear him stuttering. She looked at him while resting her head against the wall.Ian tried to understand how something like that wound could get into her back. His mind turned blurred. He was in disbelief.Something hit his mind as his brows lifted as if he were shocked once again.Ian remembered how, when he pushed her against a wall after saving her from the boys or pressed her against a bookshelf in the library, she hissed in pain, just like tonight.He used to think that it was due to the
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
