Ava's pov Brent nodded at me and I slowly slid out of the car. Just when I thought I was amazed, the compound stunned me. The mansion was the biggest I'd ever seen with a huge front door and other smaller extensions that stretched to the back. Guards stood armed with all manner of terrifying guns with stoic faces in different areas of the mansion. None of them looked like they'd ever uttered a word in their lives. I took a bold risk by waving at one of them and the glare he sent back to me? It did more than correct my brain. “Can you at least pretend to be classy instead of gaping at everything like a commoner?” My father's gloomy voice cut my eye tourism short. I wanted to glare at him and tell him how he raised me in poverty but he was already taking long strides away from me. I bit my lips in regret but ended up running to catch up with him.

Ava's pov Brent knew just how much I wanted my mother to regain consciousness. Heck, everyone in the pack knew just how obsessed I was with finding a cure for her health. And Brent's offer? It would be the fastest and perfect way to help her without keeping her in pain for any longer. I just…. I just couldn't bring myself to accept a man Brent would chose. “Think about it, Ava. If you agree to my offer, I'll accept the rejection right here, right now and we can get things started right away.” He added, drawing closer to me. I pulled back before his betraying body would touch me even for a second. “You won't get a better offer from anyone else, Ava.” Of course, she had to chip in. “She's your daughter for crying out loud, Grandma and I'm your granddaughter, why can't you be on our side for once, huh?” I yelled at her, suddenly losing my patience. Grandma Ava's scoffed and threw her face off, leaving me to face Brent on my own. My hands slowly wrapped around my mother's life

Ava's povBile rose in my throat alongside the hottest rage of ever felt in my life.

If I was going to keep my mother alive, I needed them.“I….I got…a call from the hospital.” I stuttered, avoiding their eyes.Grandma Ava chuckled under her breath like the witch that she was.“What's the problem with your sick mother now? Is she finally ready to die?” She asked, her tone filled with mockery.More tears stung my eyes but I managed to hold it back, at least with my face down.“They said she….” I choked on my tears for a second and they finally rolled down, despite holding back.“They said she only has a limited time to live before taking h

Ava's povMy mother is fighting for her life with an unknown disease and all you care about is tossing your granddaughter into the hands of another man who will treat me like trash and dump me.”The memory of my mother getting beaten up by my father rushed into my head and more tears rolled down my eyes.“She's in coma today because you refused to save her!” I screamed.“You were supposed to be her mother, her confidant but you pushed her away….” My voice broke as more tears streamed down my face.“You pushed her away….” My voice finally broke.My grandmother was fuming and boiling over with rage and in our home, that meant I was in deep trouble.“I hate….” Before I could complete my words, I felt a sharp sting tear across my face. The feel of my grandmother's hand on my face forced more tears out of my eyes.“How dare you?” She whispered, boiling with anger.My heart sank deep into my stomach. Tears dropped from face like a downpour and I bit my lips to hold back the tears but I fail

Ava's pov“I’m not going to that party!” I yelled, my heart pounding hard against my chest like it would explode but my face managed to keep a blank stare.The pin drop silence in the room sent shivers down my spine but of course, I had to pretend to be calm.If I wanted to keep my point, I had to at least pretend like I was no longer a child.I darted my eyes around the office, finding my grandparents’ faces boring holes into my body.“You must've lost a few screws from your brain in that stupid lab you keep going to. You definitely don't know what you're talking about.” My grandmother hissed.She shot lasers at me with her eyes and if looks could kill, I'd probably be ten feet beneath the earth’s surface, but who cared?As usual, the entire family was gathered in my grandfather's living room in our family house.When I say the entire family, I mean my grandparents who definitely hate and want to sell me out for money, my aunts and uncles who detested my mother and I and would do any
