last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-04 04:00:08

Ava's POV. 

Were the triplets just pretending to be nice so they could crush me right after? Were they just deceiving me? 

I glanced at Iris again and wondered if I had misinterpreted the smirk I caught on his lips or if I was overthinking things. 

“Iris! I’m talking to you!” Vanessa yelled again and snapped me out of my thoughts. 

“Just shut up and get off my phone!” He retorted coldly. 

“Iris, I know you aren't stupid enough to be with a common stripper—”

“I don't see anything wrong with being a stripper. It's a job and doesn't make someone less of a person. Stop your backward thinking!” He defended me. 

“You don't know what you are talking about!” She snapped. 

“Disconnect call,” Iris said, ending the call. 

I suddenly became confused. He smirked at her words but still defended me. 

“Don't take what she said to heart,” He whispered, facing me. 

“I'm used to it already,” I stuttered, looking away from him. 

“Don't worry, she won't bother you at all,” He muttered, his voice confident. But what was the assurance that Vanessa wouldn't make my life worse? 

Her brothers defended me in front of almost everyone yesterday, and now one of them is still strongly defending me. 

Instinctively, I took my thumb to my lips, biting it. I wondered what Vanessa was going to do to me. Would I be able to endure another humiliation or experience something even worse? 

“Ava…”Iris called, placing his hand on my thigh. 

I froze as his hand gently patted me. 

“I'll protect you, don't worry… “He reassured, his ocean-blue eyes glinting at me. They made me feel a bit calm, but then I remembered how dangerous the ocean was as well. 

What if I was being tricked? 

As he returned his hand to the steering wheel and continued driving, my nervousness returned. When the car got closer to the school, my heart pounded faster. 

“Iris,” I called quietly. 

“Yes, love.” He shifted his gaze to me. 

“Can you please drop me off here? “I requested, unwilling to face the peering eyes of students or fuel more rumors. 

“Why? We're almost at the school," He quizzed, confusion clear on his face. 

“I don't want…”I began but paused. I didn't want to give him more reason to think that he should care for me. 

“I feel tired of sitting here, I just want to take a walk and…and exercise my legs,” I lied. 

He suddenly burst out laughing, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sound. How perfect! 

“I doubt that's the reason, but if you want to walk, then I'll just leave the car here and walk with you,” He offered, bringing the car to a slow halt. 

“No!” I exclaimed, my voice sharper than intended. “I just want to walk on my own! I need some space!”

He didn't look convinced by my words, but then he nodded. 

“Okay, you can go.”

With that, I unbuckled my seat belt and tried to push the door open, but it didn't budge. 

“Wait,” He muttered before commanding, “Open.”

The car door instantly unlocked, and I gasped. I was amazed but refused to get distracted. 

I quickly jumped out of the car and muttered, “Thanks for the ride.” 

I ran from there before he could say anything in response.

I ran all the way to my class, ignoring the whispers that commenced as soon as I entered. I was late, and that was the only thing I had to pay attention to. 

As I reached the classroom, the teacher was already there. 

“Good morning, sir,” I greeted and bowed my head slightly. 

“You're late, I should kick you out of this class!” The teacher spat with strange contempt in his voice. 

“I'm sorry, it won't happen again,” I apologized and bowed my head. 

“Get out of my sight!”

“Thank you, sir,” I stammered and rushed over to my seat. 

The very moment I sat down, Vanessa walked into the classroom. The teacher greeted her first and allowed her in without a single complaint. 

I quickly lowered my gaze to avoid her murderous glare, but to my greatest shock, she walked over to the person beside me. 

“I want to sit here. Move!” She ordered, her voice dripping with malice. 

The student quickly gathered their things and left while Vanessa sat beside me. 

Sweat formed on my skin, and I began shaking involuntarily. Why had she chosen to sit beside me? What did she want?

I tried looking at her, but she was already staring straight at me. I began breathing unevenly and had the urge to run. 

The air around me was suffocating, and it felt like my lungs would shut down. I prayed for the teacher to finish the lecture because I couldn't bear sitting next to her any longer. 

The moment the teacher exited the classroom, I sprang to my feet and grabbed my bag. 

“Ava!” She sneered as I was about to leave. 

“I am going to kill you,” She spat. 

Without looking at her, I dashed out of the classroom. I lurked around for a while, and when it was lunch time, I didn't bother heading to the cafeteria, besides I didn't have lunch to eat, and what if she poisoned the food? 

Although poisoning was extreme, she had done so much to make me think otherwise. I was terrified of what she could do to me. 

“I should go to the library,” I muttered, knowing that it was one place Vanessa hardly went. 

However, as I headed towards the library and reached the hallway, I noticed how eerily quiet it was. 

“Where is everyone?”I whispered and looked around. 

When I walked further down the hallway, I heard footsteps behind me. But when I turned around, I didn't see anyone. 

“Odd,” I pouted, looking forward. 

As I started walking again, the footsteps resumed. I was about to turn again when the lights suddenly went off. 

My eyes widened as I saw a strange person standing at a distance. 

“Who are you?” I shuddered, but there was no reply; the person just kept walking towards me. 

Fear gripped my heart, and I began running. Their footsteps quickened as well and got closer to me. 

I suddenly recalled Vanessa's words, and panic rose within me. 

“I don't want to die! Someone help me!” I cried out. 

I tried to run faster, but my foot suddenly hit on something, and I tripped. 

“Ahh!” I whimpered as I fell to the floor. 

“No!”

    Ava's POV. I didn't know how I did it, but I summoned the strength and struggled to my feet. Without wasting a second, I resumed running, and this time at a faster pace. I couldn't risk getting caught. I refused to die like this. I might be a poor and ridiculed stripper, but I still had dreams.Although those dreams seemed impossible, I still wanted to fulfill them. “Someone help!” I screamed, tears flowing down my cheeks. As I turned a corner, I realized that I had reached a dead end. There was nowhere else to run. I stopped for a moment and glanced around. I felt this sudden relief when I saw a door. I just prayed it was open; if not, I was good as dead. As I rushed towards the door and was about to grab the doorknob, it suddenly flung open. I gasped and almost fell back, but a pair of firm hands grabbed my waist. A forest-like scent, particularly sandalwood, wafted through my nostrils. It felt so calming and soothing to my soul. “Ava,” I heard a deep but soft voice that mad

    Ava’s POV. “Ava, wait!!”Their voices chased after me, filled with urgency and confusion. But I did not stop. My heart was slamming against my ribs as I ran down the stairs. My legs were shaking, but I was determined to put as much distance between us as possible. I could not face them. I could not be their mate. That is not possible, especially when Vanessa's stare is lurking behind. Everything about their behavior felt like a mistake, like a cruel joke, as if the universe was playing a trick on me. People like them were not supposed to be connected to people like me. They were strong, important, and came from a world I didn’t belong to. Meanwhile, I was barely surviving, treated like trash by everyone around me. The moment I reached my classroom, I rushed to my seat, forcing myself to take a slow breath. My hands were still trembling as I placed them on my cheek. My finger was cold despite the warmth in the room. I glanced around, my chest tightening when I noticed Vanessa's s

    Ava’s POV I felt a sharp pain stabbed through my head the moment my eyes floated open. A groan slipped from my lips, my vision swimming in the haze of darkness, shifting between shadows. My body felt heavier than usual, and I fell asleep, extremely weak like I had been drained of all my energy. For a moment, everything was a blur. My mind struggled to process what happened. And then it hit me hard. The moment I was grabbed, the sound of footsteps, and then after that, I saw nothing. It was blank. A chill ran down my spine as I tried to move, only to feel resistance. My wrists were bound tightly behind me, the rough rope cutting into my skin. I twisted my hand, whizzing at the friction bound against my flesh. My heart quickened against my ribs, my breath coming out in short gaps. The room felt cold. I shifted slightly, feeling the hard, gritty floor under me, dirty and stone-scrambled against my leg. And the uncomfortable pleasure of the floor told me I had been here for a while.

    Steve’s POV I walked into the mart, my hands shoved deep into my pockets. The bright fluorescent lights sting my eyes, but I barely notice. My mind is too preoccupied, replaying the way Ava stormed off earlier.She’s been avoiding us. After school, Irish, Zayne, and I tried to find her, but she was nowhere to be seen. It’s driving me crazy. Ever since I found out she’s my mate, it’s been hell trying to control myself. My wolf wants her, wants to claim her, mark her. But I can’t.I grab a random snack off the shelf, not because I need it but because I need something to do. Something to pull my mind away from the burning frustration clawing at me. But it doesn’t help. Nothing does.The cashier barely glances at me at first, scanning the item like she does with every other customer. But then, recognition flashes across her face. Her eyes widened, and before I could stop her, she bowed her head.“Alpha’ Steve,” she whispers, her voice filled with respect.I clench my jaw.The movement ca

    Ava’s POV A pounding headache greets me as I slowly blink my eyes open. A sharp throbbing pulse at the back of my head, making me wince as I sit up. My body feels strange, heavy yet light at the same time, as if I’ve been floating in and out of consciousness for hours.I tried to remember what happened, but then everything hit hard. How I got kidnapped and the gunshot.My breathing quickens, my chest rising and falling in uneven gasps. I pressed my hand to my knees, expecting to feel the wound, but I felt nothing. My brows furrow as I run my fingers over the spot where the bullet should have torn through my skin. It’s smooth. Unscarred. As if nothing ever happened.Before I could process what was happening, the door creaked open, and Steve stepped inside. His tall frame moves with ease, and his green eyes lock onto mine. The moment our gazes meet, I forget how to breathe. His presence is overpowering; something about the way he looks at me makes my stomach twist.I try to stand, but

    Ava’s POVSteve doesn’t move away.Instead, he presses his lips harder against mine, deepening the kiss. His lips move slowly, carefully, like he’s savoring the moment. His hands explore my body, trailing along my waist, my sides, and my back. The heat of his touch seeps through the thin fabric of my clothes, sending shivers down my spine.I don’t stop him.I can’t even think of doing that. Something inside me crumbles, breaking apart under the weight of his warmth. I feel powerless, completely lost in the way his mouth moves against mine, the way his fingers glide over my skin like he’s memorizing every inch of me. My body betrays me, melting into his, surrendering without resistance.But Steve suddenly pulls away, his body jerking back like he just snapped out of a daze. He takes a shaky breath, his hands curling into fists at his sides. His green eyes flicker with something unreadable, regret, maybe? Guilt?“I’m sorry,” he mutters, his voice rough, strained. “I shouldn’t have done

    Ava’s POVI don’t flinch. I don’t even blink. Sarah’s reaction didn’t surprise me, I expected it.“If you are not somewhere spreading your legs, then where?” She takes a step closer, and I move back.She raised her hands for another slap but she held it back into a fist, her sharp gaze locked onto mine, filled with suspicion and something else I can’t quite place. “Where the hell have you been then?” she demands, crossing her arms over her chest. “You disappeared for an entire day. Do you think this house is a hotel?”I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. If I tell her the truth, will she believe me? Will it even matter?

    Ava’s POVThe morning sun filters through the window and I blink a few times before opening my eyes, my body still aching from yesterday’s ordeal. My face stings where Sarah slapped me. I push myself out of bed, my legs feeling heavier than usual. I don’t want to go to school, but I have no choice. If I skip, it’ll only give Sarah more reason to torment me. She’ll call me lazy, useless, a disgrace to the family. Dragging myself to the bathroom, I stare at my reflection. My eyes are slightly swollen from all the crying. My lower lip looks red where I bit it too hard last night. I look miserable. I feel miserable. But I don’t really have time to dwell on it, I’m used to it. After a quick shower, I slip into my uniform. The fabric is a little worn-out, the edges fraying from too many washes. I don’t care. It’s not like I have another option. I grab my bag, take a deep breath, and step out of my room.The house is quiet. Sarah is probably still asleep. Good. I don’t need her ruining my

    Zayne’s POVGetting ready for the Alpha’s birthday party wasn’t anything new. We’d been to countless events like this before, and they always felt the same. Crowds of people, fake smiles, and endless bows and praise that didn’t mean much to us. But this felt different because it is our father’s birthday.Irish tightened his cufflinks while Steve adjusted his tie, grumbling under his breath.“Do we really have to wear these?” Steve asked, tugging at the collar of his shirt.“It’s not like we have a choice,” I replied, slipping on my jacket. “Let’s just go, get it over with, and leave.”

People were everywhere, rushing from one side to the other as though they were all on some kind of important mission. The place was crowded, packed with cars and unfamiliar faces, and from the way people were dressed, it was obvious they were prominent.Before we could even enter the hall, two guards stepped in front of us, blocking our way.“Invitation letter,” one of them said, his deep voice making it clear that no one was getting in without it.Sarah quickly pulled hers out from her purse and handed it to them with a brig

    Ava’s POV I wake up feeling strangely unsettled.Today is the Alpha’s birthday, but honestly, I don’t care. I wouldn’t even be going to school if not for the stupid assignment I need to submit. It’s a waste of time. Everyone is focused on preparing for the Alpha’s birthday party anyway, so no real lessons will happen. Two hours, maybe less, and we’ll be sent home.That’s the only reason I’m dragging myself to school today.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my red skin is now going back to normal, thanks to the three brothers; if not for the medicine they bought for me, I’d still be as red as tomatoes. I get dressed quickly, not putting too much effort into my appearance. My plan is simple: submit my assignment and leave. That’s it.I get dressed and rush out of the house. I’m not sure if Vanessa would be going to school but I don’t really care if she does. The walk to school was exhausting, and immediately I got inside the school gate, everything didn’t seem normal, and stud

I’m halfway up my room when my stepmom suddenly calls my name. “Ava.” My stepmom’s tone isn’t sharp, but something about it makes me stop. There’s a false sweetness in her voice, like honey masking poison. I hesitate, gripping the hem of my school uniform tightly before turning to face her.Her lips curve into a small smile, but her eyes… her eyes tell a different story.“Yes?” I say, keeping my voice neutral. I thought for a while if they wanted to answer my question, but with her facial expression, I know she’s not about to talk about it. My stepmom stood up and stepped forward slowly. I watch her carefully, wondering what she’s up to this time.“Do you still remember the Alpha’s birthday?” she asks.The question catches me off guard. I blink, confused. Why is she bringing that up

After everything that happened, Steve had left me here to sleep while he took the guest room. I let out a small sigh and sat up, rubbing my eyes. I feel tired, not just physically, but emotionally.I get out of bed and stretch a little before heading to the bathroom. I splash water on my face, hoping it will wake me up and make me feel a bit better. When I look in the mirr

He’s not just confused — he’s angry.“She sent it to your house?” He repeats it like he’s trying to convince himself that it’s real. His brows pull together, and I can practically see the wheels turning in his

I don’t belong to you!” I yelled, shoving at his chest, but he didn’t budge. His strength was overwhelming, and the fear in my chest tightened like a steel grip.“Stop acting like this,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “I’m not going to hurt you.”“You already are!” I snapped, tears stinging my eyes as I tried to yank my wrist out of his grip again. “You tore my clothes, Zach! You’re hurting me right now!”He paused, his eyes flickering as if my words hit him somewhere deep, but it only lasted for a second. His jaw clenched, and his face hardened again.“You’re mine, Ava,” he said through gritted teeth. “You can’t keep running from me.”“I’m not yours! You rejected me, remember?” My voice broke as the memories flooded back. I could still hear his cruel words ringing in my ears. I could still feel the pain
