AVA"You were listening?" I couldn't keep myself from asking.It is considered a huge disrespect to disobey an alpha's orders, especially one who owns the strongest pack known to were kind.He nodded, taking a step further into the room and checking if Alpha Marcus has already gone, then locked the door before facing me."Ava, it pains me to say this but, I appreciate Hunter for what he has been doing for us," He said in a slightly softer voice, surprising even me because my dad never shows vulnerability. Ever."But why here?" I don't understand... Why did Hunter choose this place to put my parents in when the Alpha of our own pack could have arranged some place for us to move into? I don't know much of the details because I was never bothered to dig up old stuff but I was sure my father was the Alpha's best friend in the past. They were inseparable, I had heard. So why is it when it came to dad's time of need, the alpha didn't give a damn to even lend a hand? Dad opened his lips lik
AVA I felt my face heat up at the closeness between us. The last time he was this close, I had imagined myself rocking him in a way I never did with Axel. No, not even close. I pressed my lips into a line, lifting my chin as I gawk at the one and only Greek God of Werewolf High. His blue and green specked eyes didn’t blink, neither did he remove his gaze from mine. He’s panting, looking deeply into my soul and I can’t look away. My gaze falls on his plump bottom lip, and instantly I wondered whether it tastes good as it looks from the outside. Damn. What I wouldn’t give to run my tongue along his neck, biting his earlobes until they bleed. “Ava,” his voice came out low, husky, and so fucking sexy. Oh, fuck! I scold myself. He’s Hunter Ysrael. The play boy, fuck boy, asshole man whore in Werewolf High… But he’s also apparently my goddess-given mate, the one who saved my ass a couple of times and went all out to find a safe place for my parents to stay. For the past few weeks we l
AVAWhat the fuck just happened?"Get off me," I stumble in my words, shoving him off.He gives me my space and I force my body up and off the bed. I ran to the body mirror I first spotted when I entered the room.The moment I stepped in front of my reflection, my eyes widened in both horror and shock.I whirled around, glaring daggers at Hunter. His blue eyes met my lavender ones, and I clench my fists in sheer anger."What the fuck was that for?" I spat, taking an intimidating step towards him before pointing at my neck.His expression turned serious."Would you rather my father give you that mark? If so, be my guest," he squared his shoulders, straightening from the bed.I scoffed at his words. How dare he use that crap on me?"Whether it was you or your father, neither of you had the right to do what you just did so casually," I growled, frustration getting the better of me. Although my wolf is all but frustrated about being marked right now. If anything, Moon is head over heels ab
AVA"Nothing happened, Dad. I promise," I explain, chomping down my lower lip as we sauntered into the hallway and into an empty room.Well, at least nothing too extreme.Closing the door behind him, he narrowed his gaze at me before crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. His jaw twitched. "I expected more out of you, Ava.." he said, shaking his head. I clenched my teeth, looking down at my feet in embarrassment. I know my Dad hates Hunter, his guts, and for everything he is. But I don't understand why he could not recognize the mate bond Hunter and I share, the exact same thing that changed his life because he didn't want to sacrifice it for the sake of prestige. I looked at him with a hurt look in my eyes. "Gee, sorry dad. It's not like he's my mate or anything..." I mumbled and that made his brow rise even higher."Don't give me that excuse, Ava. Alpha Ysrael alone, is dangerous. He's a man with dark secrets and shady business with the nightcrawlers. What more could we
CHAPTER 68HUNTERI sniffed the air. The subtle fragrance of moonflowers and wild lilies laced in the air, overwhelming me. My body is relaxed and my mind is clear.Peace. The only scent that offered me peace was the one that my mother always wore, at least when she was still healthy and alive.It was the only thing that made my life… beautiful. Worthy.I let out a deep breath and slowly peeled my eyes open.I pulled my brows when I came to full recognition, allowing me to take in my surroundings.“The fuck…?”The last thing I remember was Ava, sleeping soundly in my arms on the bed. I believed I marked her. It was the only way to get out of this shit I’m stuck in with that cunt Scarlet, as well as her father, and mine.But the problem is, she’s not here.I glared at my surroundings. Red-colored walls, a black ceiling, and glass furniture scattered in the room.What the fuck happened? Why am I here?“Good morning, sweetie,” a soft voice whispers in my ear. My eyes widening in full ale
AVAMy eyes dart to Marcus' whose icy blue ones pin me with a murderous glare."Big mistake, little one," I hear him snarl as Dad remains in his fighting stance."You can't have her," Dad growls back, his voice low and deadly he'd be mistaken as an alpha himself.Alpha Marcus sneers, lifting his head and meeting my Dad's gaze dead ahead."I take you into my pack, feed you, protect you, put you under my roof. And yet, this is how you repay me?" He grumbles, sounding disappointed."I will not sell off my daughter as payment for your... generosity, Alpha," my dad says in reply.My mother gapes between the men and looks at me in fear. Fear of losing me."You don't have to pay him back either," My head snaps in the direction of that voice, my heart thumping in my chest as I spot Hunter trudging down the stairs. His weight crushing down every step. His eyes hardened when they locked on Marcus, but softened when his gaze shifted to me. Alpha Marcus chuckled mockingly. "I gave them this p
AVAI could still smell his scent, intoxicating me, leaving me breathless and dizzy as I fantasize him leaning down and pressing his lips against mine. I want to curl my fingers and tug on his pirch-black locks, feel his tongue run across every inch of my skin, devouring me until I pass out in euphoria.'You're mine,' his words and deep, rugged voice starts invading my mind, playing over and over and it doesn't stop.Am I going crazy? "MS. AVA WILLIAMS!" A sharp stick slapped on my desk, startling me.I looked up only to find Ms. Crow glaring daggers at me with her eyebrow raised. "Won't you tell us why you've been spacing out for the last thirty minutes in my class? Hm?" She tilted her head, faking a sweet voice that made bile rise in my throat. Ms. Crow is known as the lady terror in the whole academy. She is incredibly popular for humiliating students that goes along with her bitch ass attitude even for all things meaningless."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"Snorts and snick
HUNTERAfter I left the house, I headed straight for home to take a shower and changed into a simple black suit with a black tie. All attendants of a council meeting must adhere to rules. Rules I don't really give a shit about if it isn't the only opportunity I see to declare a challenge. "The Alpha expects to see you at the meeting," Sebastian our butler announced as I exited my room.I scoffed. "Tell him he doesn't need to wait for me. We will go separately," I said as an order to which Bastian responded to with a small nod.Turning to the mirror, I stared at my reflection with hard determination in my eyes. I got them from my mother, the same reason my father couldn't stand the sight of me, punishing me for it.I clenched my fists. My graduation isn't coming up until the next few months. Initially, I had wanted to finish school before taking the pack by my father by force. But times changed. I need to hurry. I would rather kill than watch my mother's pack burn down to ashes und
