All Chapters of Ava: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The sun streaming through the window woke Zeke up. It was blinding, but he didn’t have the strength to move.It had been sucked from his body. No, wrenched from his body. He felt about as useless as a newborn pup. He had not known it could be like this.He’d known mated couples to hole down for a couple of days when the woman went into heat, but they always came back out okay. But he felt like somebody would have to peel them off the floor and carry them out of there. He was completely spent. It had to be because they were true mates. Everything was stronger. More extreme. He had been loved within an inch of his life, and it was fucking amazing. A small smile played on his lips as he closed his eyes against the sun.The moan that came from beside him had his body reacting. Okay, maybe he wasn’t completely spent. He turned his head to face Ava because she was the only one who could command his body to move when he had nothing left in the tank. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was

When she followed Zeke out of the administration block, there was a chill in the air. Her head was a little fuzzy, but the frigid air outside cleared it.She stopped next to Zeke and looked where the restricted area was. Where the evil was. The cold darkness had settled there and was prickling at her skin. It felt like the evil in the forest was now over the academy like a wet blanket. She didn’t need anyone to tell her who was responsible for the purple-eyed creatures in the forest; she had looked the root of that evil in the eyes.“You’re coming with me,” Zeke said, breaking into her thoughts. “We need to stick together.”She looked back at the guards standing beside the doors. Just because the dean hadn’t punished them yet didn’t mean they were off the hook. That man had fantasies about the number of ways he could punish her, and he had already warned her about contact with Zeke. What she had done with Zeke was more than just touching him or holding his hand.However, despite the s

Ava sank back into her seat, hiding away from the purple gaze she saw in her nightmares every night. It felt like he could look into her soul. She couldn’t see the stage, but somehow, she knew their attention was still on her.From the tension she felt around her, she realised the Omegas could sense they were in the presence of evil even though their gazes lowered. Her heart was pounding, but she knew that for the first time, hers was not the only one.She felt some pressure in her head, and then the icy fingers probed at her, the same icy fingers she felt in Isolation and the forest. She could almost feel the thick molasses feeling all over her body as the dark magic tried to work its way in. She sat still, afraid to even breathe. “Good morning, students.”The dean’s voice rang loudly in the silent room, startling her. And with that, she realised her head had become a little foggy, as if she had been on the verge of being trapped in a spell.She had to think about something else. Fo

Ava walked into Mr Patrick’s lecture room straight after her last class. It had been a surreal morning. They hadn’t learned much because whatever Mr Hansson had done to the student Omegas, he had also done to the teachers and instructors. If a spell had been cast on them because of her, the least the Council could have done was release them. But instead, she’d seen wolves jump at shadows and any sudden movement of noise. All the Omegas were a mess. It wasn’t right. She closed the door and looked at the man who could appear and disappear at will, the man who had insisted from the beginning that he could help. He’d said he had seen the Head of the Council before, so he had to know what they were dealing with. How could he be so sure that this was a battle they could win?“Winning? I don’t know,” he said as he walked over to the door and then touched it. “The Council is spread all over the world; we would never win against their full force. But we have the chance to cut off their head

The whole class turned to look at her when Coach called her name.What the hell was this? If they were going to execute her, why were they making her fight an Omega first? And why Emily, who she had already fought at the mock evaluations?Unless this was another test to see if she would make a good soldier?“Ava,” Coach Henderson repeated. She looked up to see the coach’s worried gaze on her before he glanced at Emily. The Omega was already on the mat, her arms wrapped around herself and facing down.She shook her head and stood to walk to the mat, too. Claire was still facing forward as if this was of no interest to her, but Zeke clenched his fists, not hiding that his eyes were directly on the Council members. “Remember that anything goes,” the witch said, making her look back at them, too. “Follow the rules, and everything will be fine.”The three of them looked like they were expecting a show, but surely they knew it wouldn’t take much for anyone to defeat Emily. The coach’s wh
