Avianna's Point of ViewMe: Are you still mad? Me: Don't be mad, please :(( I just did it so she would finally get caught.Me: And the bruises really don't hurt. Not at all!Me: Please reply :((I sighed for the nth time when none of my boyfriends responded to the messages I sent in our group chat.They got so worried when I entered the bus and saw the dirt on my uniform and the bruises on my arms and legs. They almost lost it when they saw the cut on my lips from Lizel's punch.When I explained to them what happened, the two suddenly went blank and silent. None of them talk to me after that, let alone glance. I knew they were mad because I let Lizel hurt me again, but that's the only thing I thought of. I know it's a stupid idea, but it was effective. She will be reprimanded and punished. That's all I wanted to happen, for her to get what she deserves.But my m
Avianna's Point of ViewThree days. It's been three freaking days since Mirco and Zen got mad and ignored me.I've approached them several times already. I attempted to talk to them in class, thinking that they'll sit beside me but they sat far away from me. During breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they would show up late and wouldn't sit beside me. After classes, they're nowhere to be found.I thought their anger would only last a day, I didn't know they were seriously that mad to the point they ignored me for three days.For three days, my mood has been considerably bad. I didn't notice I was feeling that way if my friends didn't point it out to me. I've been silent when we're together, I wasn't joining their jokes and conversation, I've been eating so little too.When they told me about it, I literally cringed at myself. I never fathomed I'd act like this just because my boyfriends were mad and ignoring me
Avianna's Point of View"Josh! Marrah!" I called both of my best friends when I saw them walking towards the cafeteria, their hands were linked together.They stopped in their tracks and turned to face me, their faces brightening up as they saw me running in their direction."Where's the others?" I asked, panting a bit from the short run I did."They're all busy," Joshua simply answered as we continued walking."I know that," I replied, rolling my eyes. "I'm asking where they are.""Where else? If not at the Library, they're probably with their group mates," Marrah answered it this time.I pouted my lips, "We barely hang out anymore. All of us are busy," I muttered.It has been three months since we returned to Amaranthine. Classes resumed as if nothing happened. They continued what we left off at Grenhil Institute.All of us are graduatin
Avianna's Point of ViewShe's back. Yumi's back. My mates' first love is back. The girl who ruined my pack's relationship is back.That's all I could think of for the rest of the day. I pretended not to care about her when Mirco and Zen told me about it yesterday. Both of them had no idea either why she suddenly returned. According to them, Yumi went out of the country two years ago and they thought she'll stay there for good. So her return was really a shock for them.They looked bothered about it. They couldn't hide their true feelings. It's not like I was jealous about it. Rather than that, I'm worried. They didn't look sad- they looked mad, and I'm worried because it's their birthday today. I wanted them to enjoy their day instead of getting bothered by that girl.And although they assured me that they were fine, I'm still worried about them. As much as I wanted to help them, I had no idea how. So I just let
WARNING: This chapter contains scenes that are not suitable for young readers. Please read at your own risk. -Avianna's Point of ViewWe were just silent the whole ride to Zen's condominium, which I didn't know was existing. None of us talked about what just happened and no one was mentioning her name either.So even though I was dying to ask about it, I kept my mouth shut. For Mirco and Zen, their day is already ruined and I didn't want to ruin it even more. They were obviously in a foul mood and if the mere remembrance of that girl was brought up, I think they'd explode.But the silence was deafening. If this goes on, I think I'd be the one to explode instead."Should we watch a movie? I think there are some new releases," I spoke, breaking the silence.All their attention goes to me but I eyed every one of them, visually telling them to say something to get rid of the awkward silence."Y-yeah. I think I saw some good horror movies too," Kayne nod
Zen's Point of ViewNo one said a word after Avianna asked that question. Neither Sullivan nor I utter a response. It wasn't that I didn't want to tell her. I wanted to because I wanted to be honest with her. I knew she was curious about what happened two years ago and that she wanted to know but she respected our decision not to tell her anything until we were ready to bring up the past.I honestly admired her for that. I knew being clueless is frustrating and yet she bore with that for the past months that had passed. And being the asshole that I was, I let her bear it.But now that that girl is back and Avianna has seen her already, I think it's only right that we tell her what happened two years ago.Letting out a deep breath, I turned to face Sullivan. I was about to tell him that we should tell Avianna about it, but he suddenly spoke."Let's get you cleaned first."My b
Mirco's Point of ViewAvianna was sobbing once Zen was done telling his side. I don't know the reason why she's crying like that. If it's because of hearing Zen's side or seeing how hurt and angry he is while he was telling what happened years ago.It was my first time hearing Zen's side too and it gave me a lot of realizations about what happened years ago. It makes sense now why Yumi acted like that years ago."Where is that Yumi bitch? I will kill her for you!" Avianna said in between her sobs.I chuckled silently at what she said. She's so mad after listening to Zen's side, what more if she heard mine?"Stop crying, Av. It's not worth your tears," Zen said while wiping away the tears in Avianna's beautiful face. "Besides, you still have to hear Sullivan's side."Avianna immediately turned to me after hearing that."Right. Go on, Mir. I'll listen before I kill that bitch."
Third Person's Point of View"So basically, that fucking bitch played and deceived the both of you..." Avianna muttered, her hands clenching tightly on the sheets of Zen's bed."Yeah," Mirco and Zen simultaneously answered, a lump forming in their throat as they were reminded of what Yumi did to them years ago.They were pulled out of their trance though when they felt their mate trembling. Panic filled their chest when they saw her shoulders trembling with her head hung low."Av..." Mirco muttered, unsure of what to say."Where..." Avianna mumbled, still looking down. The two Alphas waited for her to continue her words and their eyes widened when Avianna lifted her head and looked straight at them.Her eyes were in so much pain and sympathy for her mates. Her heart hurts so bad while listening to Mirco and Zen. She could see the pain and betrayal in their eyes as they told her what happene
Avianna's Point of ViewI looked back and forth between my mates and my mentor who were sitting across each other while I sat on the single couch.None of them spoke a word when my mates arrived, and Ryu didn't talk when I informed him that we're going to talk about Mr. Lim.And honestly? I am nervous.I don't know if he's mad that I told my mates about his situation with the old man because he hasn't uttered a single word about it and his expression remained blank. He didn't even ask anything!Then here goes my mates. I don't know why they're not initiating the talk when they were the one who told me they have news regarding that old man. They seemed excited on our call but the moment they entered my office, all that they said was a greeting for Ryu and I.Even when Lianne left after bringing us some coffee, none of us spoke a word.It was a few minutes later that I decided to break the silence."Mirco, Zen," I called them out, earning all three of their attention. "Say what you're g
Avianna's Point of View"Love, babe, please listen—"I tried to reach their hands to stop them, but they quickly avoided it as they quickened their pace towards our unit.I groaned in frustration, trailing behind them before they could go to their respective rooms."It's not what you think!" I exclaimed, forcibly pulling their wrists to turn around and face me. "What you saw in the office is not what you think!""Do you even know what we're thinking?" Mirco asked, his face void of emotion.I gulped, "We're not doing anything bad. I'm sorry if you have to see that, and I'm sorry for doing that as well but I was just comforting him, okay? Ryu's having a hard time...""And you resorted to hugging him knowing how jealous we are of him?" Zen scoffed."Because he needs it!" I exclaimed. "Hugs helped in comforting some people, and it helped him even a bit. Trust me, I hugged him for comfort, without any malice on both sides. Mhm?"They looked away, their chest kept on heaving. They're probabl
Avianna's Point of View"Bye, Mom! I'll try to visit again tomorrow!""You stubborn lady. I told you that you can just visit us every weekend! You're disturbing your mates as well!" Mom reprimanded me."It's alright with us, Mom. We also wanted to check on you and Dad," Mirco said."See?" I faced my parents and said, just to make a point. "I will visit whenever I want to."Mom rolled her eyes at me, "Whatever you say, young lady. You should get going now. Mirco and Zen need to have plenty amount of rest because of you.""I'm your daughter here?""And?" She raises an eyebrow.I just pouted, "Whatever. We're leaving! Bye!"The ride on our way home was just silent. Both of my mates were unusually quiet and I think I have an idea why, but I decided not to mention it. They were being unreasonable last night. I was too embarrassed to face Ryu because of how they acted toward him!Gosh. Ryu has been nothing but kind to me then my mates will just act rude to him? Geez.I don't want to mention
Avianna's Point of View"Do your mates usually arrive this late?" Vance asked me while we were just at the university gate waiting for my mates to arrive.He accompanied me here when he saw me standing outside. I asked my mates to buy me coffee before they went here. That's why they took longer than usual. They must've been caught by the traffic.I shook my head, "Not every time. There's just some time where they got dismissed late or they were caught in traffic.""Why don't you try to commute?""They didn't want me to. They said they can fetch me every day and everywhere I go so there's no need for me to commute. Zen even said, 'What's the use of our cars if we'll let you commute?'""They have a point," Vance agreed."Oh, they're here," I said when I saw Zen's car approaching.They parked right in front of me and I smiled at the window, knowing that they could see me from inside even though I couldn't see them.The door on the passenger seat opened and revealed Mirco who was wearing
Avianna's Point of View"Why didn't they inform us about the meeting getting moved hours earlier?! We wouldn't be panicking like this if they informed us!" I frustratedly exclaimed while collecting all the folders that had our proposal."There are times when a businessman as big and successful as Mr. Lim would do things the way they want because they know they have the upper hand. It's the same in our case. He knew we've been wanting to close a deal with him, that's why he's hastily doing things. Of course, we had no choice but to just follow whatever he wants," Ryu explained while typing something on his laptop."Tss. Big people and their annoying attitudes," I muttered. Ryu chuckled, "Welcome to the world of business."I playfully rolled my eyes, "This is why I didn't want to get involved in any business-related things.""Hmm, that's why you took Education?""How did you know?" I asked, brows furrowed in confusion because as far as I know, I never told him about it. All he knew was
Avianna's Point of View"Avianna, have you finished your part already?" Jace, one of my group mates in research asked.I nodded my head, yawning. "I sent it in your email. I apologize in advance if there are so many mistakes on my part. I couldn't double-check it anymore since I was so sleepy at that time.""It's fine. I'll just proofread it myself. You should just rest. The bags under your eyes looked so heavy," he said.I forced out a smile, "Thanks, Jace."I ducked my head on the table, yawning for the nth time.I only slept for two hours. I finished my work at one o'clock in the morning and I had to finish my part in our research, which was given to us last week but I barely started it and I just got to really do it last night, or earlier. I don't know anymore.All I know is that I want to sleep. I've been so sleep-deprived for the past weeks."Leondale."I lifted my head to look at who called me. When I looked up, I saw Vance peering down at me while handing out a can of soda and
Avianna's Point of ViewI'm beyond exhausted.Classes have returned two weeks ago and since then, I've been juggling my studies and work while still constantly going back and forth to our house to check on my father and to our unit if I finished my tasks early.On top of that, I'm also reading a lot of books that can help me with handling the company when I have free time. Usually, when I finish all my activities and projects.It was hard. I'm doing fairly good with the company but I still lack a lot of things. I couldn't just keep on asking for help from my mates since their classes returned as well so they were also busy. And as much as they tell me that I'm not a bother to them, I still feel embarrassed asking favors from them. So as much as possible, when I know I can do it although it's difficult, I will do it by myself.But it's draining me. I couldn't even go outside to have a date with my mates and to have a proper hangout with my friends. I slept late after doing my activitie
Mirco's Point of View"Are you on your way already?""Yup. We just bought a drive-thru for you so you can just eat at home and rest afterwards," I replied."Hmm, okay. Drive safely, babe.""I will," I said and then I passed my phone to Zen who was just quietly listening in my passenger seat."Wait for us in the lobby, not outside. No. We'll just go to you. Fine. We'll just call you once we arrive then. Alright. See you in a bit, my love," I glanced at him and saw that he had already ended the call before throwing my phone into the open glove compartment of my car. I shot him a glare because of it."Don't throw my phone like that, you fucker!" I exclaimed at him but being the annoying asshole that he is, he just ignored my words.This asshole... if only I could yeet him out of my car, I would have done it the moment I started the engine.It's been almost two weeks since we came home from Japan after we found out that Avianna's father was brought to the hospital because of his weakening
Zen's Point of View"Dad! Oh my gosh, what the hell happened to you?!" Sullivan and I could only on the back as Avianna approached his father who was lying down on a hospital bed with a weak smile plastered on his face."Sweetie," he mumbled, his voice hoarse. "I'm fine.""Fine?! Is this what fine is to you?! You can barely sit!" "Sweetie," her mom called her in a stern voice. "Don't yell at your father."Avianna glanced at her mother briefly before returning her gaze to her father, eyes softening as she heaved out a deep sigh."I'm sorry, dad," she muttered.Dad smiled, reaching her hands to softly caress it, "It's fine. I knew you'd react like this, that's why I didn't want to tell you."What he said made the frown on Avianna's face return."What? So you really have no plans on telling us?""I have, but after you're done with your trip," Dad replied. "But your Mom just had to tell you and now your first out-of-the-country trip is ruined because of me.""What? That's not true! We c
