AVAThe relief I felt at having made up with Beta Alexander was enormous. Having your second in command fighting with someone that is your equal and like your daughter can’t be easy. As much as Alpha Jacob did need to apologise too, my biggest problem was definitely Beta Alexander.“Ava,” Callum called out from behind me. I turned to see the entire group on the front steps of the pack house. “Are you ready to go?”I nodded, turning back to Alpha Jacob and Beta Alexander. “I’ll catch up with you two tomorrow,” I said, voice low enough that the twins, Leo and Izzie couldn’t hear. “We need to work out how to deal with those rogues before someone gets hurt in the crossfire.”They both nodded. “I agree, Alpha,” Alpha Jacob replied. “Have fun tonight, tomorrow, we’ll crack on with this.”I gave them both a small smile before turning to walk towards the group.Callum and Oscar immediately threw their arms around my shoulders, wedging me in between them. Of course Noah and Theo were jealous,

AVAAlex was sitting in the living room when Oscar, Callum and I got back to theirs. “You better be up for training tomorrow morning, Ava!” he shouted after me as we walked past.“Of course, Alex. Knocking you on your ass is the highlight of my day.”He snorted with laughter.He swapped to the mindlink before replying. “Please shut the door this time, I don’t need to see that again.”As soon as we were in the twins bedroom, Callum had me pressed against the wall, his mouth teasing its way down my neck with teeth, tongue and lips. I groaned when he licked over his bite mark from earlier, and cried out in pleasure when he pinched my nipples through my dress.“You’re going to have to be quieter than that, little one,” Callum whispered. “I’d hate for someone to hear when we make you scream.”“If you can make me scream,” I whispered, my voice breathy.“Is that a challenge, Alpha?” he growled in my ear. “Like you, I don’t back down from a challenge.”“Well then,” I replied. “Make me scream

THEOSeeing Ava like that broke my heart. It made the Alpha in me want to wrap her up and protect her, despite the fact I knew she was more than capable of defending herself, and that she was already a much stronger Alpha than I’d ever be.I could see the same pained expression on everyone else’s faces as we waited for the doctor to finish cleaning out the bite on Ava’s arm and discharge her. By the time it was done, every other bruise and cut on her body had healed. Even her ribs were well on the way to being healed; according to the doctor, they probably would be within 24 hours.Once Ava was discharged and dressed, we all headed off to Beta Alex’s room. He was in worse shape than Ava, he didn’t heal as well.“Fuck, Alex,” Ava whispered, sitting on his bed next to him. “I heal better than you, why did you jump into that?! You could have just picked them off from the outside, you didn’t need to jump right into the middle of the bundle.”“I couldn’t leave you to do it on your own, Ava

AVAI hated the look of pity on people’s faces, and that was exactly what was currently staring at me.Pity.They didn’t need to pity me. I just needed people that would have my back and be on my side now and in the future. “That’s enough of the pity, people,” I said, my voice exasperated. “Pity won’t change the past. I need you all to have my back now and in the future.”They all snapped out of it, like they’d been in a trance.“Wait Ava…” Izzie started. “You’re a Lycan?”I nodded. “I’m heir to the Eclipse Mountain pack.”Her mouth fell open. “But you can run as a wolf?”I nodded.“The Legend of the Alpha Queen?”“You’ve heard it, Izzie?”“I grew up with it as a bedtime story.”“Have you got Lycan heritage?”“My maternal great, great, great grandma was Lycan, but there hasn’t been enough Lycan DNA in my family to have a baby born as a Lycan in a long time now,” Izzie replied. “They all grew up with the more positive Legends being told as bedtime stories, and I grew up on the Legend

AVABy the time we’d all wrapped up round one, it was late. We made our way back to the Beta’s house since Callum and Oscar have the biggest bedroom, not expecting that all of the pack’s senior wolves would be sitting in their living room having drinks when we walked in.“Ava!” Alex called out, face amused. “Why don’t you join us for a drink?”I growled at him through the mind link, making him snort.“Come on Ava,” Jacob added. “One drink for our young Alpha.”I rolled my eyes. “Fine. Alex, if I’m hungover for our run tomorrow, it’s your fault and I will not hold back when we spar next after your ribs have healed.” I gladly took the rum Jacob was offering me, still scowling at Alex when I sat down in between him and Jacob.“How are you feeling now, Alpha Ava?” the pack gamma, Jamie, asked.“All good, Gamma Jamie. Ribs are healed and everything. Confirmed healed too since this lot,” I motioned over my shoulder to the twins, “wouldn’t let me swim without an x-ray, so I got an x-ray.”Th
