HUNTER “Fuck off.” Her words ring in my ear until all I hear is her voice. The way her breath sounds so softly a few inches away from my mouth. I could almost taste it. But that’s not the only thing that amused me. I move closer, and I mean, really close to her until she was staring up at the biggest, baddest mountain she had ever seen. There isn’t a trace of fear in her lavender eyes, or maybe she just wouldn’t show it. And for a lower-class wolf, that’s what amused me most. Other wolves who thought could fuck with me always knew what was coming for them. When it does, they’re either running for the hills, or staring at me with absolute fear in their fucking eyes while their bodies quiver in my presence alone. This girl, however, do not. She had every damn reason to fear me after what she just saw me do to that fuck, yet here she is. Standing hot and sexy before me so my eyes could see, her head held high. Despite being naked, she isn’t ashamed of her body. I can’t help but pull m
AVA My heart raced staring at his… thing. Just look at it! It almost looks like it’s mad at me for no reason, and I’m here unable to do anything with my eyes that are nearly bulging out of their sockets. He’s huge. However, why is it standing? I think to myself while tilting my head slightly. My cheeks are on fire, but I can’t seem to stop staring at it. I felt a painful throbbing between my legs right after, and the way he called me his mate with his deep, raspy voice makes the throbbing hurt even more. I don’t know what to do with myself, and I’m not sure how to stop it. That feeling didn’t last long, though. The next few words that left his mouth easily killed that weird sensation I was feeling, and I was thankful for it. In fact, I didn’t want to feel anything when it came to the asshole. I just didn’t expect I’d let my emotions take over me when it clearly wasn’t the time to. Let me guess, the mate bond. Clenching my teeth, I wipe the tears pooling around my eyes harshly wi
AVAThe run back home went by without a hitch. I was in wolf form. Thankfully Moonlight decided to shift at the right moment. If she didn't, Hunter might have left my ass out there for good. After Hunter led me back home, I realized the party was over. It was earlier than I expected. But I suspect it was my father who've had something to do with stopping it at this hour. When my house came into full view, I realize everyone had already left the scenario and my parents were waiting for me at our front porch. My father was looking like he'd been pacing back and forth a quadrillion times, while my mother sat quietly on the old rickety wooden stairs leading up to our porch. Mom's pale face told me she received a good scolding from Dad, but I knew he could never hold his anger against her for long. And my house? Let's just say it was wrecked by a dragon. Red spray paint tainted our once tidy pristine walls. Whoever did this shit had a message, and it read: SLUTHOUSE. Anger boiled throug
HUNTER I slam my fist hard against the bathroom wall, feeling the cold water pour down my body as I close my eyes. Yesterday was a fucking disaster. Her father was one thing though. His aura was strong, like a beta, which is impossible because apparently, he’s an omega. And omegas aren’t supposed to hold that strong of an aura, right? He can’t be a beta by blood, yet there’s no denying the authority oozing off him. Come to think of it, I heard of a rumor about a beta who stepped down from his rank twenty years ago. No one knew the real reason why, but I had heard some people say he left his duty to be with his mate. Stepping down your rank for a woman? I’d laughed it off and thought it to be the most ridiculous lie I’d ever heard. If it was the truth, I’d say anyone who’d choose his feelings over his duty does not deserve his rank anyway. From the moment I saw Ava’s father that night, I knew it has to be him. There’s no mistaking it. And he’s fucking livid when he looked at me rig
AVAThe next day I headed to school as usual. I threw in some acid washed jeans, an oversized shirt and yanked in a pair of converse shoes. As I sauntered downstairs, I noticed how mom, in some surprising, magical way, managed to make the house super clean overnight. Not a thing was out of place, and everything went back exactly to the way they were before the party. Did mom stay up overnight cleaning? I suddenly felt bad because I could have helped, but she insisted I rest considering I've just been through my first shift last night. I sigh, squeezing my hands into fists. One day, I'll graduate and go to uni so I could give my parents a better life. One day, we'll be out of here. Leave this stupid pack for good and let them know exactly what they'd lost. Without my father as the warrior trainer, this pack will cease to produce strong warriors to protect them. And when that happens, we'll be long gone. Anything is far better than living in this old, rickety house. Since dad steppe
AVAWe arrived in front of the school gates earlier than I had expected. Dad really had to ask that question right before he stops the car at my school. Even from afar, I could feel the students gawking at us.I curl my fists on my lap and nervously look out the window, hyper aware of Dad's narrowing gaze on the side of my head.Words lodged in my throat, and I'm not quite sure if telling him was the right thing to do at this point."Ava?" Dad's voice came with a warning, making me snap my eyes at him in shock.His brows furrow slightly at my reaction, and I'm trying not to space out as I weigh the consequences of him knowing the truth: that Hunter is, unfortunately, the mate Goddess destined for me.I cringe at the thought. Who in the right mind would honestly think it's okay to pair up omega and alpha blood together? I mean, it's simply insane! Goddess knows better than anyone that it would bring unspeakable disasters to the pack.So no, thank you. I'd rather keep this little bit to
HUNTER As I saunter over the lobby, I stopped in my tracks, my brows knit as I look around my surroundings. Where the hell is everyone? Not to mention, I haven't seen a single girl clinging to me like a fucking leech. They should be right on my tail once I enter the main building. The sound of footsteps from the other side of the hallway reaches my ears, pulling me from my thoughts almost instantly. Preston and Gomorey sprinted towards me, both the shock and amusement whirling in their eyes were enough to let me know something is up. They inhale deep breaths. Preston nudges Gomorey before nodding his head towards me. Gomorey looks at me but doesn’t say anything for at least two seconds. “What? Got a lockjaw or something?” I raise my brow, narrowing my gaze at him who should be fucking aware my patience is drifting. Knowing I’m the only one who doesn’t have a fucking clue about what’s all this is about pisses me the fuck off. “Ava’s in trouble,” He reveals, popping the last fu
AVAMy heart is thundering faster than light all of a sudden, and it wasn't because of this crowd bellowing and yapping as they closed in on me. It was because of the words that came from Hunter's mouth. What did he mean by saying he's going to make me his? Shock written all over the crowd's faces clear as day. Their whistles nearly blasted my eardrums, and their raucous cheers rang deeply in my head the moment sumo girl fell flat on her ass. A funny look plastered on her face telling me she wasn't expecting that from me, neither did anyone in this hall. Especially him.I bite my bottom lip while staring right into his burning amber eyes. They look brighter than usual, and he's looking at me intently like a predator would his prey. A frigil chill runs up my spine. I can't explain it, but something tells me I'm not going to like whatever that look means.Three consecutive claps suddenly fills the air, loud and strong enough to silence the crowd as she steals the spotlight effortless
