Ava took a quick shower in the ensuite. Her bruises and cuts from training had already healed. She forgot to ask Jared about his cream the other night, but surely the effects should have started to fade by now?

She had no time to worry about it as she went to her wardrobe. The only clothes Claire hadn’t ruined were already in the wash and not suitable for a party. Jared knew her situation. Had he not thought of this? She felt a little bit ungrateful for thinking he was selfish; he probably had a lot on his mind, too.

She was about to pull her old sweats and T-shirt from the bottom of the laundry basket when she remembered the shopping bags she had found with her suitcase on her first night. She pulled them from the bottom of her wardrobe and emptied the contents on her bed.

Her eyes widened.

Jared had bought her clothes, and not the off-the-rack ones she was used to. The labels made her eyes bulge out, and just thinking of how much he had spent made her eyes water.

He was insane! W

  • Ava   Chapter 227

    It was almost dark when Ava tiptoed through the back door of her family home. Not that it would have made a difference. The whole area was deserted. It wasn’t just because she could sense the absence of other auras. There was something different with her awareness of the things around her. It was like whatever had been crawling inside her had burst out, and now it reached out for something else.She’d told Zeke that something was happening, something was coming. Was this it? Was she the calamity that would fall on everyone else? Because even as she snuck towards the stairs, she could sense where the whole pack was, picking out individual auras from so far. Yet her senses buzzed in warning as if the pack was the enemy. Her whole body hummed like she was electrified, and Nyx felt it too. She paced, restless, ready to fight, but unclear who the enemy was. She had so much energy spilling over, as if she hadn’t just done a marathon of a different kind.Her cheeks colouring, she headed

    Zeke heard every word. Staying still while that fucker said those things to his mate was probaly the hardest thing he had ever done.Since Ava came under his protection at the academy, no one except Claire had even dared to breathe in her direction, never mind entertaining such sick fantasies. His blood boiled. That magic simmering just under his skin flowed in his veins, whispering to him, urging him to maim. To kill. To end that bastard. And Shadow was all for it. He’d never gone from anxious to being on the verge of a rampage in such a short time. Burning rage roared through him, mixed with the ice-cold of the unfamiliar darkness whispering to his soul. And once again, it felt right.Kill them all.Rip their limbs from their bodies. Bathe in their blood.The whispers became louder. Fists clenched, he stood naked in front of the white wolves, barring them from following their sister. He’d told Ava he would follow her lead. Showing how much he trusted her was more important than

    Ava backed away until her back hit the wall. The way the hunter’s eyes lowered to her bare legs made her skin crawl. Even without Nyx telling her, she knew this man was a weak coward. For him to easily attempt something like this meant he’d done it before.This one was going to die.“Did you take my father?” she asked directly. The hunter chuckled. “I don’t even know who the fuck you father is,” he said.Lies, since he’d had their picture. She looked at the wolf who’d told the hunters to hurry. He was bigger than the rest, and most likely their leader. The scars on his chest spoke of many battles. But the packs around them were peaceful. Besides Alpha Barret, she’d never seen anyone who had lived through any horrendous things that would scar them.“What did you mean by what you said? You paid them to do something to me? You knew I was coming?”The bald man chuckled as he walked to the other side of the room and uprighted a chair. “You walked into the lion’s den all by yourself, li

  • Ava   Chapter 224

    Ava stayed back as the rest of the wolves advanced. Caleb had discovered a stash of clothes inside a hollow in one of the trees, common for when wolves had to shift and rejoin the human population, so these hunters had likely met the wolves in this spot before. They’d met to plan the attack on her father or her kidnapping—one or the other. The scents on them were unfamiliar, but she could smell the same on the wolves who’d walked into one of the dilapidated cabins. Wolf scents mingled with humans among the damp and mould of the abandoned cabins. Focusing on a single one, she confirmed what Caled said. Eight people. And seven of them were about to die.She had seen her brothers in their wolf forms several times, but this was the first time she’d seen them so focused as they inched closer to the forest’s edge. Pride bubbled up inside her briefly before she looked away and focused her attention on their rear.She was just the lookout. She would not get in their way.Nyx whimpered aga

    There were beds in the staff break rooms near the back of the building that Zeke hadn’t noticed the first time he was there. He didn’t pay much attention to his surroundings now either as he kept his arm around Ava’s shoulders, just processing.Following Ava through the forest had been...Shit, he didn’t know what to think. She’d been right in front of him, yet not quite present. And that hint of magic in the air... It had rippled over his skin like the Council magic did, pulling at him. He had responded to it as if he had no choice, following its call. Even now, he felt it still simmering under his skin.Like when he’d kissed Ava before they found out Alpha Roland was missing. Nate opened one of the doors, revealing two beds against the wall on both sides, and stepped aside. “Caleb is just upset. I’ll speak to him. You guys should rest. I’ll bring some food,” Nate said.Ava walked in first and slumped onto one of the beds.“I’m not hungry,” she mumbled. Nate met his gaze, clearly

  • Ava   Chapter 222

    Nothing made sense. Ava’s vision switched from day to night in an instant. The nightmare always stopped when the beast—when she—brutally ended those men, but now it continued, forcing her to follow the path she saw in her head, seeing bloody little hands pushing away the shrubs and watching the bloody bare feet stepping over sharp rocks and fallen trees.Watching the nightmare play out in real life.Retracing the steps she took over a decade before.And Nyx was close, her emotions heightened, revealing everything through her eyes.Heart pounding in her chest, she looked back at the man following behind her, watching her closely. One second, he stood there quietly, his eyes blood red, glowing in moonlight. The next second, the sun was shining, and the whimpering cries from her six-year-old self echoed as she looked back to where she had come from. Where the evil men lay in pieces.Time lost all meaning. As the terrain evened out and they left the sounds of the sleepy town far behind t

    Human blood still scented the air hours after the fight. It was everywhere. On the narrow path up the mountain. On the cold, unyielding side of the mountain. Over the trees, bushes and dead leaves on the ground. Silver bullet casings and broken silver weapons were scattered on the forest floor. Sharp lengths of twine were tied between tree trunks like traps, and blood dripped from them. There was something else on it besides that metallic scent, something spicy and woodsy, and very faint.Putting her nose closer to the twine, she started to inhale. A second later, strong arms circled her chest and wrenched her away.“Don’t touch that. Wolfsbane,” Zeke said.Of course. She had never been around it, but she was sure the other wolves in the pack were taught how to detect it from the moment they shifted. It was deadly to wolves, poisoning their systems as quickly as silver. A chill rushed down her spine at how close she’d come to making a rookie mistake.Stepping out of Zeke’s arms, she l

    ‘Let’s at least find out what happened to the Moonvalley Alpha first,’ Zeke mindlinked Ava. ‘There are too many humans here.’Ava’s apprehension was obvious through their bond, but so were her rage and fear. Tension coiled up in his stomach. Whenever he got like this, he always pulled the silver chains out for Derek and Myles to restrain him. But now, they were freely running near humans. Even if it was a small town, people would notice if half of them got wiped out by raging beasts.‘I’ve only been this far from our territory once, and Dad didn’t even let me get out of the car. I don’t even know where this diner is, so we need to speak to Nate.’It was clear from her tone that she didn’t like that, but some of the tension uncoiled because she wasn’t about to burrow through innocent people in town without a plan.The sun was setting when they stopped near the forest’s edge. Zeke followed Ava to a small wooden cabin, where she shifted without much regard to the humans he sensed close to

  • Ava   Chapter 219

    The Silver Daggers. A bunch of fucking neanderthals who’d dwindled their numbers even before the Council had formed to take them down. Probably the only good thing the Council had done.Psychopaths on the same level as Hansson, with their well-documented kills and torture methods. And they had somehow dug up enough information on his mate to have a recent photo of her and also know which orphanage she’d been at before being adopted. In which world was that the kind of information someone kept to themselves?Shadow growled in his head, pissed off with Ava’s family for the first time since meeting Roland. ‘Let’s go hunt them down,’ he ordered. Oh, that was a given. The only question was how to make Ava go back home. Dealing with Hansson together was one thing. They had been trapped at the academy and had no other options. But he would not willingly let Ava face another asshole like Hansson. He would not risk her life. “Answer me,” Ava said, stepping closer to Nate.“No, I don’t thin
