Ava’s POV

The entire walk home, I couldn’t stop thinking about Zach.

He had followed me despite my protests, despite me telling him to leave me alone. He had never done that before. In fact, he had never even been nice to me. So why now?

When we reached my street, he finally stopped. “Take care,” he said, his voice oddly soft before turning around and walking away.

I stood there for a moment, watching his retreating figure. A part of me wanted to believe his kindness was real, but I wasn’t stupid. People didn’t change overnight.

Shaking my head, I turned and walked into the house, expecting the usual, my stepmother yelling at me, Sarah glaring at me with pure disgust, maybe even a slap if they were in a bad mood.

But the moment I stepped inside, I froze.

Something was wrong.

The dining table was set with food. Not just any food, but an actual meal, steaming rice, roasted chicken, a bowl of soup, and even fresh fruit. The smell was inviting, almost unreal, like something from a dream.

    Ava’s POVMy body stiffened at his demand.Get on your knees.I stared up at him, my stomach twisting into knots. The dim lighting of the room cast dark shadows over his face, but I could still see the glint in his eyes expectation, amusement, a cruel kind of patience. He thought I would obey him without question.He was wrong cause I’m not going to set his dirty thing into my mouth.“No.” My voice was steady, though my insides churned with fear.His smirk faltered. He leaned back against the couch, tilting his head slightly, as if he hadn’t heard me properly.“What?”I swallowed hard and forced myself to meet his gaze. “I’m not doing that.”A grave silence filled the room. The air felt thick, suffocating.

    Writer’s POV Zach watched Ava closely, his gaze sharp as he studied her expression. She looked at him, confussion written all over her face. Her lips parted slightly, her breath coming out uneven, but she didn’t look away from him, her eyes piercing his skin. “Let go,” Zach tried grabbing her hands but she was fast enough to take a step back. “Why are you suddenly being nice to me?” Ava asked quietly, her voice was small and hesitant. Zach didn’t answer instead he tightened his jaw slightly, his dues unreadable, instead of giving her the answer she wanted. His eyes rake to his foot and he saw a way to divert the conversation. “Why are you barefoot?” He raised his eyes. “Ava blinked repeatedly, glancing down at her feet as if she was just realizing it. The cold pavement suddenly pressed against her skin making her toes curl. “My slippers are inside,” she murmured, interlocking her fingers together. “Wait here. I’ll get them.” Zach nodded once. Before she could protest, he tur

    Writer’s POVIrish took a slow deliberate step forward, his gaze locked onto Ava with a look that sent a shiver down her spine. His fingers twitched at his sides aching to touch her. He had been forced to stay away from her all day because of the Alpha’s orders and it had driven him on the edge. Now, standing in front of her, he didn’t care about anything else.With one swift movement, he reached out, pulling Ava into his chest. His arms tightened around her, caging her in and making sure she couldn’t slip away. A deep satisfied breath escaped him as he buried his face in her hair, inhaling her scent. It was torture being apart from her. Ava sucked in a sharp breath, her hands pressing against his chest. “Irish,” she muttered, shifting uncomfortably. “Let me go.”But he didn’t.Her hand pushed harder against him because he was stronger, always had been, she struggled but her resistance only fueled his desire to hold her closer. “Irish, stop,” she tried again, her voice firmer.He t

    Irish’s POVI sit in class, staring at the open textbook in front of me, but I don’t see the words. The letters blur together, meaningless shapes on the page. My fingers grip the edge of the desk, my knuckles turning pale. My mind isn’t here. It’s on her. It’s on Ava.She had refused to let me follow her home yesterday. I had wanted to, my entire body itching to chase after her, but she had looked at me with those stubborn eyes, daring me to respect her space. I had known it was a bad idea to let her go alone, but she didn’t give me a choice. And now, regret sits heavy on my chest like a weight I can’t shake off.I don’t know if she made it home safely. I don’t know if she’s okay. And it’s driving me insane. My fingers tighten even more around the desk, my jaw clenching so hard it aches. I should have followed her. Rules be damned. Ava always acts like she doesn’t need anyone, but I know better. She’s reckless. She does things on her own, even when she shouldn’t.I bounce my leg under

Ava’s absence is gnawing at me, and the more I try to calm down, the worse it gets. She took a sick leave, and something about it doesn’t sit right with me.Ava isn’t the type to just disappear. She’s stubborn, always showing up no matter what.And the only suspect is Zach. I saw him with her yesterday, talking in that smug, careless way he always does. The memory makes my fists curl involuntarily. He’s always flirting, always playing games, and I wouldn’t put it past him to mess with Ava somehow.The thought burns i

    Ava’s POVI remember waking up to that awful burning sensation. It felt like my whole body was on fire, itching so badly I could barely breathe. I shifted in bed, trying to get comfortable, but even that didn’t help. The sheets scraped against my skin, making it worse.Why did I feel like that?I rubbed my arms, hoping it would ease the itch, but it didn’t. If anything, it made it worse. I remember sitting up slowly, feeling my heartbeat pick up as I pulled back the blanket. That’s when I noticed my skin.Red blotches covered my arms, the skin looking raw and irritated. It wasn’t just my arms either, my legs were the same. I tugged at the neckline of my nightgown, and my stomach dropped when I saw the

    Ava’s POVTheir eyes watched me in silence as I came closer. I could feel the weight of their stares like they could see right through me, see every patch of red blotchy skin, every ache, every lie I was trying to keep buried. My hands trembled slightly as I gripped the hem of my shirt, hoping they wouldn’t notice, but deep down, I knew they already had.And then Irish spoke. His voice was low, cold, and sharp enough to cut through the silence in the room.“What happened to your body?”I froze for a second, my heart racing. The words hit me hard, and my stomach twisted into knots. I didn’t know what to say, or how to explain. His tone wasn’t casual there was something dangerous in it, like he was

I could see the anger flash in her eyes, even though she tried to hide it by forcing a smile. My stepmom was watching too, her lips pressed tightly together, and I could already feel the Anger.I needed to fix this, fast!I swallowed hard, trying to think of something that would smooth things over. Then, without giving myself time to hesitate, I grabbed Steve’s hand and gave it a little tug. His hand was warm and strong, and for a second, my mind w

    Ava’s POVThe whole driving state was silent, but I could feel Iris’s anger hanging over me, even though he hadn’t said a single word to me. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary, his eyes fixed straight on the road.I knew he wanted to say something, probably a lot of things, but he didn’t. And honestly, I was glad. I wasn’t sure if I had the strength to explain anything right away. My head still felt heavy, my heart even weighed more.When he finally pulled into their driveway, the rain had slowed to a drizzle, but the cold still clung to my skin. Iris stepped out first, shutting the door with more force than needed, and I climbed out slowly, dragging my soaked bag along with me.The front door swung open before we even reached it as if Steve and Zayne had been waiting for Irish's arrival. Steve’s voice was the first one I heard.“Ava?” His eyes darted from me to the bag in my hand, and then back to me. “Why the hell do you have your bag? Why are you so drenc

    Ava’s POVThe cold was starting to settle deep into my bones, but I stayed rooted in front of the door, hoping… maybe even praying, that my stepmother would come back and open it.I lifted my hand, knocking again, harder this time around. “Please…” I whispered, pressing my forehead against the door. “Please, just let me in. I swear I’ll figure something out. I will make sure more money comes out.”The only answer I got was the sound of the television from inside. It wasn’t loud at first, but then the volume went up, drowning out any chance of her hearing me. I could almost picture her sitting there on the couch, her legs crossed, remote in hand, with a smug expression. I know she wasn’t going to let me in not unless I agreed to what she wanted.And I couldn’t. I wouldn’t.I stepped back, staring at the door for a long moment, the rain sliding down my face, mixing with the tears that slid down my cheeks. My throat felt tight, like it was holding back the last bit of pride I still had

I could hear my stepmother moving around in the living room. Taking a deep breath, I walked in, my heart pounding as soon as I crossed the threshold.She was sitting on the couch, her back straight as she scrolled through her phone, but when she heard the door close, her eyes immediately snapped to me. There was no soft greeting, no warm words. Just the cold gaze of a woman who expected everything to go her way.“You’re back,” she said flatly, her tone laced with suspicion. “Where’s

    Steve’s POVI couldn’t sit still. The moment those words left her mouth, I felt my heart drop.“I’m in deep shit.”She said it so quietly, but the weight of it pulled the air right out of my body. I stared at her, still watching her fingers wrapped around the teacup, the steam rising and curling in front of her pale face.I shifted from where I was sitting on the floor and pushed myself up. My knees cracked a little as I stood, but I didn’t care. I walked closer and slowly knelt in front of her, lifting my hands and cupping her cold face between my palms. Her skin was softer than usual, but it was cold, and her cheeks still felt damp from the rain.

    Iris’s POVThe sound of the knife hitting the cutting board filled the kitchen, steady and slow. I wasn’t in a rush. Cooking had always been one of the few things that calmed my mind, and tonight wasn’t any different. The sky outside had already darkened, rain had started falling not too long ago, and the cold breeze slipping through the window kept brushing against my skin.I could hear the soft sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from the sitting room. Zayne was buried deep in another one of his video games. His laughter would echo every now and then, followed by the sound of him trash-talking the other players.In the corner of the room, Steve sat with his head bent over a pile of books, his pen mo

I have to find a way to escape her finally. But how?I have stood up for myself the other day, but that can’t continue forever.I brushed the thought away, trying to ease myself before I’d get home.

    Ava’s POVI let out a long quiet breath the moment Vanessa was gone. My fingers were still slightly stiff from how tightly I’d held her wrist, and my chest ached from holding my breath too long.Even though Venessa walked away, I knew it wouldn’t be the end. I knew her well enough to know she’d come back harder. Vanessa wasn’t the type to lose and stay quiet. She’d wait for the right moment to make me pay for daring to stand up for myself.But even knowing that, I didn’t feel scared.I pulled in another deep breath, pushing my hair away from my face, and slowly turned back toward my locker. My legs felt heavy, like they wanted to give up, but I forced them to move.When I reached my seat, I sat down with a heavy breath, my eyes scanning my desk, the thought of Zach dropping another unrequited gift lump around me. I swallowed hard, my fingers hesitated on the lock for a moment before I pulled the desk open.The first thing I did was look inside. My eyes swept every corner, half-expect

I made sure of it.Her eyes dropped to where I held her, and for a second I saw the shift of surprise flickered, just barely, in her gaze before the anger came crashing back even harder.I know she hadn’t expected me to stop her…..I know, she thought I’d stand and take every of her shit, like I always did. But not again.“Let go of my hand Ava,” her lips clipped together, her eyes held mine.

Every of her footstep adds to the tickling of my heart beat.I kept my head down, my fingers gripping the dirt-stained edge of my skirt, holding on like it was the only thing keeping me grounded. My chest rose and fell too fast, my heartbeat pounding inside my ears so loud it drowned everything else, but still, I couldn’t move. My body stayed frozen. Only my ears worked.Venessa suddenly stopped
