Author's POV The triplets realized that they'd let their need for vengeance distract them from what was most important, and they called themselves to order whilst planning the revenge.They were going to carry out their plan the next day, and they were getting ready for it."What else do you think we need?" Steve asked as the trio strolled to their apartment. They, however, were forced to stop in their tracks as a scream was heard from the pack's gate."Did you hear that?" Zayne asked "Loud and clear," Iris replied, and they changed location and moved to the gate instead.It was unusual to hear such screams in the pack.They were halfway to the gate when they saw some pack members running from the gate into the pack houses for shelter.Confused by what was going on, they glanced around the whole confusion, but they couldn't stop any of the pack members to ask what was going on.Mothers grabbed their cubs in their hands and ran for dear life, and fathers tried to hide their families
Zayne's POV We were unable to do anything in front of the crowd that watched the scenery.It would be absurd for the Alpha's sons to be seen causing a commotion in the pack during an important event.It might not cause any major consequences for us, but Ava was definitely going to face the wrath of the Alpha and even the pack members. It was all going to fall on her, and we didn't want that.She was traumatized as it was already being marked by Zach against her will.Iris led her out of the ceremony first, and we followed suit before the crowd gathering around us would alert the Alpha and Luna. We got to the apartment to see Ava bawling her eyes out.All our efforts to see that she had a great night had been put to waste, and she was back to square one. Back to her moody self.We exchanged glances. Iris and Steve were pissed but I doubted that they were as pissed as I was.I almost lost my shit while talking to the dick head.His words kept resounding in my ears, making me rage even
Author's POVThe act didn't pass Vanessa by; she was at the ceremony, and she saw everything unfold. Her face contorted in anger when she saw what Zach did, and it even deepened when she saw how furious her brothers were about it.They almost lost their shit in front of the pack members and promised to pay Zach in his coin. She was losing both of them to Ava.The whispers from the crowd didn't help with the anger as well as some of the pack members envied Ava, stating that she was desired by four males.Vanessa bit on her lower lip hard to stop herself from replying to them and holding in her rage.She shot a glare at
Steve's POVAva had been down for days after the incident with the pack members. Although we assured her that everything was going to be alright, she had retreated into her shell, and we didn't like that.We didn't like that the vibrant and free-spirited Ava was replaced with a gloomy one who didn't want to get out of bed all day, staring into space.We've tried everything possible to get her back to her usual self. Iris tried to have her help him in the kitchen, but she was still lost, staring into space a couple of times.Zayne tried to play some games with her, but she was moody throughout the game. I tried to take her shopping, but she dreaded going out of the hous
Iris's POV "Did you just refuse me because of this girl?" The Alpha asked, visibly pissed that he had been denied.Zayne was about to stand up and reply to him with the anger already raging within him, but I stopped him with my hand.His anger was palpable, and if care wasn't taken, he could do or say something that would destroy everything entirely and most especially make us lose Ava permanently.Zayne probably had the same thoughts since he sat back down and curled his fingers into fists to suppress his anger.I stood instead, shifting everyone's attention to me. Including Vanessa, who had been smiling at Ava. And Ava, who had looked petrified. The least of the things he expected to happen was this, and it shook her to her bones. It was so visible. I was certain that was what Zayne saw when he wanted to stand to challenge the Alpha. "With all due respect, Father, there is a misunderstanding here. You should listen to what we have to say rather than make a rash conclusion." I dir
Ava's POV A knock sounded on the door, and I knew that the triplets were here.I unlocked the door, and they walked in, each of them asking if I was okay.They seemed excited, and I wondered what it was all about until they broke the 'good news to me'"So, we had dinner with the Alpha, and he asked us to bring our mate to him. He would love to see you, Ava." Steve broke the news to me in a calm voice.My voice hitched in my throat."W….what?" I asked, fear visible on my face."It's fine, Ava, you don't have to be scared. The Alpha is really cool, and we're going to be there to protect you as well." Zayne spoke from behind, his words made me feel safe."You have us every step of the way, Ava, we're not going anywhere, so relax," Iris spoke this time, and I felt calm. He was the calm one amongst the triplets, and he often let me tap into his calmness. I heaved a sigh and let a smile across my face. A smile that was meant to make them drop the topic. "Okay," I replied, and they seemed
Author's POV After Zayne walked away without saying a word to her, Vanessa knew that she got him pissed off. Not only him, but the triplets.The word about her planting the paper had spread through the school like wildfire, and even though Zayne didn't say anything to her at that moment, she was going to face the consequences of her actions."Shit...!" She huffed and bit her lower lip as she shot Zach a glare.She walked away as well, in anger.She didn't even get the response she hoped for from Zach or change his mind about Ava because he was still playing helper-good guy.As she made her way home, she grew even more angry at the turnouts of events. She could have lied to her brothers, telling them that it was all plotted against her, but now, Zayne had already heard her admitting what she did to Zach."Perfect! Just perfect! Suspended from school and caught red-handed by my brother, who would no doubt spread the news to the others, who would most likely see me as a bad person now.
Zayne POV "Did you hear what happened during the exams?" A student asked her friends, who nodded frantically. "Is it about the Ava girl? Of course, we did." Another replied.My ears flared at their words, but I did not stop walking."I saw everything unfold from the exam hall window. I must say, Zach saved the day." The third girl added with a cheesy smile that made my stomach churn.What Zach did for Ava that day was all over school, and different students had different things to say concerning it. While some said that Zach saved the day, some of them strongly believed that Zach had feelings for Ava and that his act was just a means for him to show it to her.All the theories didn't sit well with me, but I wasn't going to do anything about it. Not yet. Until I spoke to my brothers, and I was going to meet them. We agreed to meet behind the school library after school, and I got there just in time to see Iris and Steve waiting for me.Steve looked troubled, pissed even while Iris r
Author's POV Vanessa walked out of the cafe and down a street not far from the school they attended. She settled on one of the pavements along the path.She was sure that Zach was going to walk the path home, so she waited for him.Those words Jessica and Barbie said concerning Zach never left her mind as she constantly thought about what Ava had on her that made Zach follow her around like a pauper.She thought they had a connection, but Zach's movements towards Ava crushed whatever hope she had of being in like minds with Zach. 'Where are you, Zach? We do have a lot to talk about...' she spoke inwardly as she dangled her legs forward-backward while waiting on the raised pavement.She waited for hours and almost lost hope of seeing Zach. While she was waiting for him, some students passed by the path and they shot glances at her. Some were mocking glances, some were pitiful glances, and others were irritated glances."Ahh, shit..." Vanessa bit her lower lip as she cupped the side o
